We got new tattoos! Yay so fun and cool, we love them. We got a bunch of questions about them on social media so we decided to record a podcast episode about the meanings and stories behind them.  We both got exactly the same tattoos. HAHA, no we don't do everything together but yes we are super best sissy friends. It's bloody awesome. How good are sibling friends? It seriously brings joy and warmth to our hearts when we meet other siblings who are proper best friends. Yay, all of us. We are so #blessed like fo real.  Ok, so the first tattoo is the sister tattoo.  Walking on sunshine Yes, like the song! This is our sister song. This is our sister tattoo! Reminds us of being together, working hard, doing stuff we love and having fun (slash walking on sunshine ;)). It's about choosing to wake up and see the sunshine, choosing to walk on sunshine even though clouds and darkness may come into our lives.  The congruency sign We got this tattoo together with our housemates. It's a mathematical symbol BUT it also means, in agreement and harmony and alignment. It's like... to live in alignment and in harmony with our hearts. So think and speak and live in alignment with our hearts. And now... we want another tattoo each.  Carla is thinking she wants a lotus, cross rose, cross triangle and Emma wants a flower love heart thingy. Designs are in the making (in our brains and hearts).

We've been getting asked a stack of questions like... What exercise do you do? What do you eat? Why do you love Pilates and Yoga so much? How many classes do you do a week? You've toned up, how did you do it?  So we gathered we should just answer everything on a podcast episode, and here it is!  Stuff we talked about... How many pilates and yoga classes we do each week. What we eat. Letting go of guilty feels. The changes we've made to our diets. Why all that really matters is your mindset. How it all comes to choosing love over fear. If you love this episode you will also love... The binge eating episode.  Episode 81 and one of our most popular episodes ever. The 5 things I didn't think Yoga Teacher Training would teach me. Episode 105, it's a good one!

We've been reading (slash listening) to the book: Think and Grow Rich and it's ahhh-mazing! We're 100% sure it's changing our lives in magical ways.  It's a self-help, self-development book written in 1937 by Napolean Hill. We know... that's ages ago but it's still super relevant. As you can tell by the title it's about growing in riches BUT it's not just about our incomes. The philosophy, stories and techniques Hill writes about can be transferred to ANYTHING. This book is about living our full potential. It gives us the tools we need to create the lives we all desire. It's bloody epic. Stuff we talk about... In almost every chapter the importance of desire is brought up. That success starts with a burning desire and knowing what you actually want.  There is no such thing as failure, it's just temporary defeat. Everything will make sense eventually. The perceived failure will, in fact, be part of the success. Woah.   The magic of persistence. The power of our mindset, how to change our subconscious belief systems.  Powerful people are the dreamers who take action and have self-belief. We can all be these people. We talk about how we can be the dreamers who take action. This.... "you are not ready until you believe you are ready". So powerful.  Unwavering faith is required. Faith removes limitations.  Time will pass anyway, why not go the extra mile and put in extra effort to create the lives we want?!  Practising quick decisions will create success.  We talk about the top 30 reasons that stop people living their potential. Listen to this list and then it's time for some self-reflection and maybe some habit changes.  Enthusiasm is a superpower. SO MUCH MORE!  Always merrymaking, Emma + Carla  Feature photo by Clark Tibbs on Unsplash

Jasmin Kechel creator of Lemon Canary is some kinda magic. We had so much fun chatting and listening to her views on all things from chakras to business and we even got to the whole meaning of life thing. Cool, hey.  If you haven't heard of Lemon Canary you are gonna wanna check it out. Especially if you love beautiful things. You would have seen some of her amazing essential chakra oils, soy candles and mists featured on our Instagram stories. But the current showstopper has got to be the Aphrodite Bowl.  Guaranteed, once you listen you'll get inspired to go out and live your truth and also probably laugh a whole heap. Stuff we talk about... Chakras and how to tell when yours are out of balance. Jas mentioned her DIY chakra test. Business stuff. The importance of pouring love into it. The importance of meditation and stillness. How to use meditation to help you make big decisions.  How we as a society are not living in our innate truth. Relationships and connection. The meaning of life.

Why should you listen to this episode with Dr Rach: if you are human. Seriously. Everyone should listen to this episode. We are so #blessed to have Dr Rachel Whyndam in our lives, as a friend and doctor. She's a naturopath and a medical doctor.  We feel like this episode is so important for everyone to listen to. We adore Dr Rach, she brings a warm, grounded, fun and strong energy to the room, you'll be able to feel it when you listen.  She shares information about health and illness in a non-scary way.   Stuff we talk about... How we are all made of cells and energy and hormones. So awesome to hear Dr Rach talk about this.  Googling your symptoms (yes, we know you all have). Dr Rach talks about the 10 day silent meditation she went on. She believes EVERYONE should do this. How we have 7 year stages in our lives. Dr Rach talks about her time working in palliative care. Her experience as a medical Doctor and a Naturopath. The importance of both practices.  How to manage our health. Like not waiting until we are really sick before we go visit our GP. How our thoughts and emotions impact our health.  Just listen.

Why you should listen to this episode: if you ever find yourself thinking you should be at 'this' point of life when you reach 'this' age.  We chat with the AMAZING Rachael Jansen who shares her story on being 'ageless' and why it's more about stages... rather than ages.  This is the stuff we talked about: how women are stereotyped by their age. how women are seen (or we see ourselves) as invisible when we reach a certain age. why the term 'middle aged' is irrelevant. how our thoughts and beliefs around women and men start from our school years. why we need to start celebrating all ages of women.

Listen to this episode if you want to find out what our morning and evening rituals are. Or if you love rituals. Or if you are keen to start a morning or some kind of ritual. We start by announcing our 30 day podcasting challenge is a fail. But then we also realise it isn't a fail. It's actually the opposite.  Stuff we talk about: We talk about the benefits of having a routine or ritual. How they create a calm and steady feel for the day/evening.  Meditation, how to do it if you don't think you can. You definitely can.  Why social activities are part of our rituals. Why rituals are good for everyone but extra good for people who have a biz. At the moment these are our rituals. The podcast version is better but we get it... some people prefer to read. Morning ritual: Wake up Get dressed (probably don't need this info) Apple cider vinegar and water Pilates or yoga class Coffee or chai with friends Smoothie bowl on the deck in the sunshine 10 minute meditation on the deck Welcome to blissland Evening ritual: Make dinner and eat dinner Catch up with housemates, talk about days Make cups of tea Drink tea, stretch, use mobility balls and roller Write in gratitude journal 10 minute meditation Time for epic sleep

Why you should listen to this episode: if you've ever thought that you need to 'be strong' when all you really wanna do is take off your mask and be real.  Amber joins us on the couch again for magical episode 111!  Here's the stuff we talk about: recognising your fears. how we tell ourselves stories like "I'm just impatient" or "I'm just..." we questioned whether being strong could be changed to choosing love.  we bang on about self acceptance and self-awareness again and we realise that sometimes we might be making excuses for our laziness.
