Girl, It's Time

Boundary setting is hard. Fullstop. Whether you a people pleaser, work-o-holic or socialite – we all faced with the need to set boundaries, all the time. This holiday found me wrestling with the topic of boundaries and how I could personally be more convicted in my YESES and thus find it easier to say NO. Today I share on just this.

Are we raising resilient kids or are we their resilience? This question hit me like a ton of bricks as I had a conversation with my daughter today around tough emotions. It's so much easier as parents, and well anyone really, to numb our emotions, to criticise emotional outbursts or to control in an attempt to feel okay...but is this really what we want to teach our kids?

I also share the launch of my book and a few discount codes for those who order during pre-orders which close mid November.

I recently watched a short film on Debbie Ivins' story and it had me sobbing. I always thought that we cling to hope as we believe that eventually things will work out the way we want them to. Debbie's story is one of turning pain into purpose. Of hoping despite no earthly answers to her longings. It is powerful and moving, and I have no doubt will challenge your faith and hope, as it has me, on a deep and beautiful level.

At this time of year there is often a sudden drive to get in shape just in time for summer. Panic hits and many of us women turn to fad diets or crazy workouts, in attempt to look a certain way for summer. Today we chat to Physio, body coach & Supersport trainer, Christy-Ann, about her views on getting ready for summer, the right way!!

When it comes to speaking about death, often we’d just rather not. Today we chat to Claire and Sinal, the founders of POP Law. Their story & brand have impacted my life and their fabulous honesty brought me to tears in this recording. Finding a way to make the legal admin of dying easier was something they fell into quite by accident, but gracious it's no an accident that what they are doing is impacting MANY of us with tools that we never realised we needed!

Today we chat to Sharmon, a mum of 2, a registered councillor and the founder of Mum Well.

During her own journey into motherhood, Sharmon came to realise how important maternal support would be, and just how difficult it was to find. Today she shares her experience of a traumatic pregnancy and how she, today, offers the support to mums, that she so desperately craved.

There is a question at the heart of every woman, a question that often rules our lives: Am I beautiful? Am I worth fighting for?

Today I share my thoughts on why most woman I meet are secretly (or not so secretly) in love with Jamie from Outlander. And my views and experience on journeying with being wanted or accepted.

Today we chat to Women Health Physio and my go-to for all things pelvic health, Chantelle Wills.

About 3 weeks ago when lockdown began to lift, I found myself rushing to the shops and when trying to breath into my tummy - it was literally as if my breathe was stuck in my chest: I was rushing & stressed and couldn't help but internalise that the 2 were related. The mind-body connection & understanding the power of breathe can be life giving and today we find out why and how.

Whilst we've all learnt so much about ourselves during lockdown, there's no denying that we've given up lots too. For some this has been jobs, for others dream and others hope.

In this episode, I touch on the importance of being present within every season of our lives & how to feel and live purpose-filled lives without having a goal to work towards. It's real and raw, as always, and whilst I give 3 key tips to find purpose in YOUR now, I too, am living this alongside you.

Today we chat to Educational Psychologist, Naomi Holdt, on how we as parents can prepare ourselves, and our kids, for the reopening of schools. After this interview I alone felt inspired and empowered to get this new somewhat uncertain season, right. We chat through both the physical and emotional ways in which we as parents can support our kids as we approach the reopening of schools. We also look into separation anxiety and I even get a bit tearful as I share my own fears on the return to school.
