Today we chat with our good friend Cate, she's 10 years old (and AMAZING we love her) and has a heap of life lessons for us. She tells it straight.  Stuff we talked about...what is the purpose of life? what is the purpose of life? what does love feel like? what's school like for a 10 year old? #1 life tip what is the scariest natural disaster?

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.
