LifePilot: Be the CEO of your life with Natalie Sisson

I'm thrilled to have the incredible Topaz Adizes join us as we dive into the spaces in between, exploring intimacy, vulnerability, and the profound impact of deep conversation and connection with those we cherish.

It's truly a joy to reconnect with Topaz, after all these years.

Reflecting on our initial encounter, I vividly recall the magic he brought in a yurt in Mangaroa Valley as part of the Edmund Hilary Fellowshipe, where we witnessed our friends share their relationship journey on screen through The Skin Deep's {THE AND}.

It was a mesmerizing experience, witnessing their raw honesty and vulnerability unfold before us, thanks to the power of thought-provoking questions. And that's what Topaz has fostered through 1000s of conversations around the world and now his new book 12 Questions for Love.

Let's dive into the genesis of {THE AND} and the intentionality behind creating a life filled with meaningful connections.

• The transformative power of human connection, especially in intimate relationships.
• How to ask well-constructed questions that deepen understanding and connection.
• The value of letting go of personal agendas and allowing space for authentic interaction and connection with your partner.
• How to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and deeper connection within your relationship
• How to create meaningful connections, demonstrate healthy emotional expression and communication for your children

Our journey together spans over a decade, filled with growth, transformation, and the pursuit of our dreams.

Jo Bendle, a beacon of inspiration in the online space, describes herself as "just a girl going after her dreams, figuring it out as she goes, and sharing what she learns along the way."

From the early days of stepping into the online world to building a thriving business, Jo's journey has been one of constant evolution and self-discovery.

Throughout the years, Jo's path has been marked by significant life decisions, from blowing up her life in the UK to becoming an honorary suitcase entrepreneur to settling into her dream lifestyle in Spain.

Everyday we are plagued by what I call 'Life Admin'. The realities of living your everyday life like cleaning, sorting, decluttering, organising and endless decisions. How much is all of that costing you both energy, time and monetary wise?

I'd suggest a LOT.

So today I want to share strategies for managing your life admin on a budget, or better put I'm giving you a lifestyle hack to get more work done that you don't want to do, for free.

This episode focuses on how you can enlist more help, whether free or paid, to shape the life you desire and gain freedom by outsourcing life admin tasks. In particular I share how we stategically utilize WWOOFers, individuals who work in exchange for accommodation and meals, to manage tasks we can't prioritize or lack time for.

Between us, Josh and I manage three businesses together while also raising our energetic son, Leonardo, and living on a 10 acre lifestyle block. Maintaining our lifestyle property is a continuous endeavour, with endless chores like gardening, tree pruning, and lawn care, compounded by the presence of pets.

We strategically utilize WWOOFers, individuals who work in exchange for accommodation and meals, to manage tasks we can't prioritize or lack time for. They have changed our lives, allowing us to delegate tasks and reclaim precious time.

By prioritizing what truly matters and reducing life admin, you can design a life that aligns with your goals and values. Let me share some of the tasks they undertake, highlighting how their help has significantly eased our lives.

• The true cost life admin incurs on your time and mental energy.
• How to go about delegating tasks and focus on what truly matters to you, whether it's family, relationships, or your career.
• How to identify areas that need attention and prioritize self-care and improvement efforts accordingly.
• How to regularly assess and improve different aspects of your life, leading to overall growth and fulfilment.

Are you feeling like your life is off kilter? Are you putting a ton of attention into some areas of your life and ignoring others? If so it is time you conduct a Life Audit so you can achieve a balanced existence.

Before you tell me balance isn't possible, it's actually essential for your mental well being because this is underpinned by finding levels of meaning within your daily tasks and activities.

If a lot of your life is out of balance, then you're not going to be satisfied, you're not going to be fulfilled, and you're not even going to have your basic psychological needs met.

In short, you're not going to be happy.

While I'm not an advocate for saying that you can have a 10 out of 10 balanced life across all areas, you can be way more consciousness about what is holding you back, which areas of your life are going great, and which ones you want to put more effort and time into and prioritize to feel like you are living your best life!

So, how do we actually figure out where we're out of balance? How do we actually pay some attention to that?

If you are feeling overwhelmed, if you are feeling unable to connect and, and literally life is feeling a little out of control or you're really unsatisfied, that's where the wheel of life comes in.

• What the Wheel of Life is and how it works
• Why we built the Life Audit to to make it easier to discover where your gaps in life are
• How to take the results of your Life Audit to make better decisions and prioritise what matters
• How to make this an ongoing exercise you to do keep focusing on what matters
