In this week’s episode we dive into something that affects us all at some point – self-sabotage. That inner voice that tells you you’re not ready, not good enough, or makes you hesitate just when you’re about to shine. We take a look at the neuroscience behind why we do this, how to shift out of those limiting patterns, and some powerful, nurturing rituals to help you reconnect to your truth. No matter where you are at this show is a beautiful reminder that you are enough. It’s time to move thro...

‘Food became a lot more than just food for me. It became my… the word ‘friend’ comes to mind. It became the thing that was there when I was in a lonely space or if I was in a vulnerable space. I never knew (and as you know with the work that we’ve done) it’s all about understanding the unconscious. I never knew any of that. I never understood what was going on. All I knew was that I had this problem and I never knew how to stop it and it just escalated and escalated and escalated until it became...

In today’s Quicky, we’re talking about a feeling most of us know all too well – overwhelm. That heavy sense of “too much,” when life feels like it’s piling on and your mind just can’t keep up. Whether it’s juggling family, work, health, or just the day-to-day demands of being human, overwhelm can leave us feeling anxious, foggy, and frozen. But what if I told you that overwhelm is not a sign of failure – it’s simply a signal? A message from your mind and body calling for support, clarity, and co...

‘If you don’t tie everything to what you deep down want, you don’t have the drive to move forward. And this is with everyone not just coaches, just in life. If you’re currently feeling like you’re just stuck and meh, and what am I doing, find someone to help you work out your values or work them out yourself. An easy way is to ask yourself, ‘If I had all the money in the world what would I do?’ That’s one of the easiest ways to figure out what you love.’ ~ Jenna Cooper In this inspiring episode,...

In a time when high-tech medicine dominates the spotlight, there’s a quiet revolution happening – a return to nature, to simplicity, and to the body’s own innate intelligence. In this week’s Self Love Quicky, we explore the powerful world of naturopathy – a holistic, ancient-meets-modern approach to health and healing. We get to discover how it differs from conventional medicine, why it matters more than ever today, and how reconnecting to nature could be the most profound act of self-love. All ...

‘To me depression feels like a choice, anxiety feels like a body’s response. And for me anxiety is whenever I am not connected to my truth. It is like my own alarm bell to go, ‘Babe you’ve gone off course, come back to centre.’ And it will be just like ‘aarrgghh’ until I have come back to centre. And I come back to centre through nature, when I am eating beautiful food, when I’m moving my body, when I am out in the sun, at the beach, I will instantly come back to centre and into my truth. And wh...

‘And I love the quote that says, ‘You are not meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders’ because it’s true. Back in the day we weren’t connected to the rest of the world, we didn’t know what was happening more than a couple of kilometres away. We didn’t have hundreds of thousands of people’s lives in our mind, and as heartbreaking as it is there is nothing I can do in this moment to change the shooting that happened over in America. All I can do is wake up, smile and give my kids ...

In this week’s Quicky, we explore what it truly means to lead – and support – businesses that are driven by the heart.

‘I am blessed – some people would say it’s optimism – but it’s in my bones. I am an optimistic person. I am without doubt someone who always thinks everything will be ok. I don’t even have to tell myself everything will be ok – I just know things will work out. You’re going to get up tomorrow, you’re going to have another go and it’s going to be a little bit better… everything will pass. I heard Lisa Rowe say that this too will pass and I believe that with all of my heart, you’ve just got to get...

In this week’s Quicky, we dive into the remarkable intelligence of the human body – a wisdom so deep, so intricate, and often overlooked in our modern rush to treat symptoms without asking the best question of all… why? Have you ever noticed that a sore throat comes on just when you’re biting back words you want to say? Or that your back pain flares when you’re carrying too much — not just physically, but emotionally? These are not coincidences. They’re messages and they are part of the body’s a...

In this week’s Quicky we talk about something that’s come up a lot in my own journey – and in conversations with many of you – and that’s the power of live events. Getting out of your house, showing up somewhere in person, and immersing yourself in a space that’s all about growth, healing, learning, and connecting is one of the best things you can do. You may question if it’s really worth it? We’re all busy. But here’s the truth: information isn’t just about learning, information at live, in-per...

In this week’s Quicky – and as a follow on from this week’s Interview with Mel Kovacevich – we discuss the benefits of seed cycling and how to incorporate essential oil use for hormonal health in women. We also look at the importance of aligning with natural rhythms, including the moon cycle. There are specific seeds – and essential oils – for each phase of the menstrual cycle and if all women of all ages took the time to observe and journal their own cycles it could become very clear as to what...

‘When I look at it historically, we did have secret women’s business, so there was still a stigma around our cycles, but at least it was shared. Wisdom was passed down from elders, from grandmothers, from mums to girls and women. And then we went through a phase where it wasn’t spoken about at all and we lost even that secret women’s business, or that red tent community of women, that sisterhood. Now, I can see how we’re really coming back to that and it isn’t just secret women’s business conver...

In motherhood’s beautiful full-on nature, self-care can feel like a luxury. But in truth, it’s a necessity – and one of the most powerful tools a mum can use to refill her cup is aromatherapy.

‘How do you cope? And she would say, ‘Well, what is my alternative? I have to cope. And what is coping? I have to be there for my son, be there for my other children. And I have to endure.’ So, I guess, when you talk about strategies, that’s kind of my strategy. Life’s short, we are lucky to have every single day on this planet. And I think of people who are every day facing surgery, chemotherapy and worse, their final breath. And I am also very aware of what it’s like to be the loved one of som...

‘I think when we get into a relationship a lot of people have these massive expectations around what should be done, shouldn’t be done, in the bedroom, out of the bedroom, nope… and it’s such a fast-paced society of just swiping them out or booting them out, that people don’t often get that chance for a relationship to settle in. It takes a really good three months in a relationship to step into who you really are in that relationship, to show your true self. The niceties can go by then, any pre...

‘At the moment preventative health measures by the medical profession are not viable. Because, for me to talk about someone’s weight, health, de-prescribing them, and getting them off medication it cannot be done in 6 minutes. Most people in this holistic health as Doctors are spending an hour on their initial consultation. They have to. If I could have a conversation just to break the subject will take me half an hour so you can’t bulk bill. Because your staff are going to be earning more money...

How long do I keep going with something that is not working? It’s a question that can break the heart and spirit. We all know that feeling too. You’ve poured your soul into something – your energy, love, and maybe even your money and savings – and yet, it’s just not giving back. The results don’t reflect the effort. You feel stuck, deflated, and wondering if it’s time to let go. In this week’s Quicky, we look at how we can reframe this line of thinking and give some powerful steps on asking bett...

Because coming in and out of it – wow – it wasn’t until I got Lymes and I had seen the changes in my body that I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror at one stage. It was like oh my cover all the mirrors. It was – looking back now – I just think how could you not love yourself to that extent? Even now as I am putting my hand on my heart I couldn’t even do that. So how did I come out of that? I guess...

Aromatherapy is one of my absolute favourite healing modalities – it’s natural, powerful, and deeply rooted in history. For over 4000 years, plants and their potent extracts have been used for medicine, beauty, and ritual. From the ancient Egyptians, including the legendary Cleopatra, to biblical references of frankincense and myrrh, essential oils have played an integral role in human health and wellbeing. In this week’s Quicky I share what it is and how it works! All the essential oils mention...

‘My perspective of the past was really focused on all the negative things that happened to me, so much it was really hard to remember any of the good things. And the same with most women who come and work with me who have experienced trauma find it really tricky to remember good things in childhood. So, your perspective and your reality is so focused on the negative things that we forget the most beautiful moments that brought us joy and happiness. Going through the healing process allows you to...

‘This is huge, a big point and I guess a point of friction in relationships right now and historically. And that is the difference between the nourishing mother and the beautiful caring type, energy that is there, and they just want to give and give and give versus the masculine archetype which is the man who sets the boundaries and when I say no, it means no and that’s the end and now there’s a consequence for that. And that’s a hard balance.’ ~ Michael ‘I don’t know if it’s anything to do with...
