I am so stoked we have reached 10 episodes, and might have a wee break for a bit. Thank you everyone for the support and getting onboard the pod thus far.
Hello Legends! This week's episode is a solo one where JJ gushes over the feedback, reflects on episodes so far and shares her insights into meditation. Hear how meditation improves attention, stress relief, perspective of time, productivity, sleep, habits, relationships and gives self-compassion. JJ gives her lovely quirky analogies to make meditation appealing, and there is a short guided meditation at the end.

Maud Léger is French holistic therapist & yoga teacher who is studying naturopathy, and a dear friend of mine. In this chat she talks about her experience with an eating disorder, shame, self sabotage and hiding behind wellness to control rather than heal ourselves. Maud speaks openly about her experience with these raw, somewhat heavy things, and I want you to know if you are or have experienced disordered eating, that every case is different, and support is out there- I have included some things which have helped me navigate my stuff around this below. We also talk about inner and outer ecosystems and crying whilst running.
Maud was in her hometown in Northern France and I was on Tainui land in Cambridge, Aotearoa when we recorded this in February. Episode was edited in my isolation inspiration station on Wurundjeri Land in Naarm, Melbourne, Australia.
