A bit about Vari..

I'm a Scottish Australian - originally from Glasgow, and I've called Australia home since 2007. Currently, I live on the Mornington Peninsula with my two sons and our adorable dog, Stella.

In 2018, I made the courageous and life-changing decision to give up alcohol - this has reoriented my life in the most magical of ways.

Through all my work, my intention is to create connection - to empower people to recognise that courage often lies within the smallest and gentlest actions. I firmly believe in our inherent creativity and capabilities. It's an honour to guide folks to embrace their potential and live a life fuelled by courage and grounded in authenticity.

A litte bit about Gerogia Irvine, my guest on this episode.

In her own words.... I am a wife to an amazing man and my biggest cheerleader, Jamie, mum to an awesome, crazy and super fun son, Ryder and a beautiful, strong, calming daughter, Rio. They inspire me to be the best version I could possibly be. I have been on this rollercoaster of a thing called life for 40 plus years now, and here I am, living out my dreams of Health and Wellness Coaching, Sobriety coaching, and a touch of personal styling services thrown in there too. I continue to learn and grow through self-development and my own behaviours and choices, which allow me to show up as the best version of myself each day. It’s a pretty cool feeling. My coaching success comes from not only my official training but also my own life experiences of behavioural change around sobriety, weight loss, nutrition, exercise, gratitude, and boundary setting. I also take great pride in setting a relaxed vibe for my clients while keeping it professional, treating each person as unique, holding a non-judgemental space, and most of all, my strong passion to empower women to “rock it”, one choice at a time.

My other passion is getting my butt up early to exercise every day and to watch the sunrise, I treat this as my non-negotiable therapy sesh. I find it gives me a huge confidence boost and makes me a calmer, energetic and happier mum and wife. My other love is summertime on the river with my beautiful family and friends skiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and most importantly, finishing off the day with a very cool ritual of chats over some yummy cheese, sweet treats, kombucha………and maybe even some hot fries too!

-from Latin meaning"way, road, path, channel"

Our journey began on the sidelines of a soccer field, where we bonded over our shared vision for life and health, and our passion for female empowerment. As we witnessed the cultural shift in drinking habits and felt the waves throughout our community and friendship circles, we knew that it was time to mix it up and get to work on a new generation of sophisticated and enjoyable functional beverages!

We embrace a fun, balanced approach to wellness. No preaching or strict rules here, just a lush, healthy lifestyle. We admire those who strive for self-improvement and explore new paths.

Together with our supportive community of like-minded women, we created VIA as a celebratory alternative to alcohol that allows connection and fun with only a positive effect on physical as well as mental wellbeing

What is a hustle-preneur? Hustler-preneur

(noun)

1. A #girlboss who organises and manages one or more enterprises with initiative, class and lipstick.

Just reading Yasmin's CV is overhwleming for an introvert like myself, she is a gogetter. I'll let her tell you a little bit about what she does and then listen to our chat where she tells me exactly how many drinks she has consumed as a adult.

Yamins says:

As a small business owner, I understand that most small business owners couldn't afford to set up shop in a major shopping centre, so I created a platform for these entrepreneurs to split the costs. The Market Hub Perth is a pop up shop that stocks locally owned and operated products. Vendors pay for their portion of space which covers staff fees too. And the best part about it, they keep 100% of their sales ingraining the mentality of #suportlocal.

In this chat we talk about soul alignment (yep, we go there), going against the grain and we wear busy as a badge of honour.

​

And because I wasn't busy enough, my husband and I have invested in KMD Books, a publishing house based in Perth dedicated to supporting aspiring authors and thought leaders. I then developed the children's book division - Little K Books. 

​

I teamed up with my sister and high school friend to open We Gather Studio - a wellness centre offering a variety of services to support feminine energy through creativity, spirituality, movement and motherhood. Within this space I operate a 3D baby ultrasound clinic called The Bub Society.

Speaking with Maz he candidly talks about his last drink and getting off over the counter drugs, what it was like for him in rehab, and 360 shares what he has learnt about himself through his sobriety. There are new rituals in sobreity, there is new music, there are insights and there is a desire 360 asks Maz for her thoughts.

A beautiful way to reconnecy after circling around each other in the music industry for years, 360 is honest, real and humble.
