  • "Just hold on" - My one legged life, with Chen

    HERE WE ARE AGAIN bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY! Today we have a legend of a guest, Chen, who lost her leg in a car accident in January 2021. For Chen this experience is pretty fresh and her experience is very raw, real and honest. This one will put on the heart strings but also fill you will joy, courage and inspiration. The best advice we got from Chen on this pod was to just hold on…. Just, hold, on. You can use this in any form of your life when you feel like things may not going right or when you are having an off day. JUST HOLD ON. Cause you got this, and we got you. We hope you enjoy. Love, life and laughter always.

  • 50 SHADES OF SHAME. It's time to shed!
    HERE WE ARE AGAIN bringing some FLAVOUR to your FRIDAY!!! Today is a heavy episode. *TRIGGER WARNING* we discuss all things SHAME. Sexual shame, sexuality shame, financial shame, shame around gender roles & everything about female body shame. We both reveal some very intimate and personal topics so we ask you to be kind and respectful of our journeys also, and be kind to everyone because you NEVER know everything they are going through. Being vulnerable is a superpower and one of the most powerful things you can do. And just remember: "the best life lies just beyond where they told us to stay". Break the mould, smash the shame & don’t be afraid to be scared and do little poo’s because I promise each time you do it your cocoon of shame will begin to shed and your inner badass butterfly will be ready to fly.
    As discussed at the end of the podcast - please check out BEC KELLY, shame professional and coach: (Facebook group - living life beyond limits)
