Alive and Thriving

Let's repeat that.. you have to feel in order to heal!

Society may teach us to suppress our emotions, but the truth is, feeling them is crucial to our healing journey.

This is a BIG topic and one that I feel really strongly about because I work with the impact of suppressed emotions on a daily basis.

It's time to break free from the stigma and embrace the power of processing our feelings. Only then can we grow, heal and live a fulfilling life.

No truer words have been spoken!

Today, I am joined by Jo Clark from Jo Clark Coaching and we have had a juicy conversation about:

🌿Perimenopause - how most women are totally unprepared for the transition

🌿Good lifestyle choices for illness prevention

🌿 Possibilities and challenges in the second half of life

Now - I am a 35 year old woman and can tell you before today, I was completely un-prepared for what perimenopause might look like and WAIT until you hear the moment my mind was blown 🤯

Jo is a mentor and coach for women 40+, helping them to navigate the years of perimenopause and beyond. She supports women to become energised, healthy and ready to embrace the second half of life. Prior to this role, Jo worked in the education sector for over three decades. In 2020 she experienced the toll of physical and mental burn-out and made a life-changing decision to leave the teaching profession and follow her calling to help women create their best life.

Jo has a number of offerings including - “Better Than Before”, an online monthly membership specifically designed to support women’s physical and mental health and wellness in the middle of life; an e-book - “Health and Wellness for the 40+ Woman - How to thrive in Perimenopause and Beyond”; “Reset, Re-energise and Rediscover”, a 10 week course that teaches women how to reset their mindset and old patterns of thinking. Her podcast ‘Redefining Midlife’, challenges outdated stereotypes and redefines what it means to be a midlife woman in today’s world. Jo also has a very popular quiz that helps women identify whether or not they are experiencing perimenopause.

After years of living in rural and remote Queensland, Jo and her husband now live on a 32 acre property in the beautiful Noosa Hinterland in Queensland, Australia. She has two incredible children who have since left the nest and two kelpie dogs who aren’t going anywhere!

or as I like to call it, a Healing hangover.

Let's talk about it because it is real, it is honest and it is not something that I have found is often spoken about.

I would love to know if you've had a "Healing Hangover" or if this is a completely new concept for you 💖

Do you have a dream?

Is it a maybe that would be nice one daydream? Is it a 'that will never be possible for me' dream? Are you right in the thick of bringing that dream into your reality?

The most common mistake that I see when people talk about their dreams is that they detach themselves from the possibility of the dream being real and pass it off a 'just a dream' or they expect that it will just manifest itself when the timing is right.

Now, I am all for divine timing and manifesting (I manifested the house that I live in and my whole vision board this year) - however... don't make the mistake of thinking that you don't need to take inspired action to make these things a reality.

In this 2 part episode, I am sharing with you some powerful secrets to creating aligned goals for intentional and inspired action toward your dreams.
