Emma Lovell leads a life that many of us would love - combining her passion for travel with her business. She recently came back from a retreat she held in India and her approach is to help clients achieve more prosperity and results with greater ease and taking time to rest. This is something Emma has learned the hard way and she now builds rest and ease into her business and helps others to do the same.

In this episode we talk about money, building wealth, mindset, challenging the status quo - it's full of inspiration and great ideas that you too can implement.

There are 5 main components that contribute to a mind that is fueled up with the right elements to help you experience more joy and ease when it comes to money:

1. Language
2. Assumptions
3. Sleep
4. Nutrition
5. Support.

Money is energy. The energy we give to our thoughts and behaviours around money has an impact to the way money shows up in our life.

In this episode I delve more into this and how you can raise your energetic vibration around money and create the abundance you want.

Here is the link to the program I mention in the episode, which is starting on 2 January:

As we start to wind down for the end of this Calendar Year, there are some great books that you can curl up with and enjoy some much needed "me time".

I really tried to get this list down to 3, but I ended up with 7. Here they are in no particular order:

1. "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz
2. "The Gap and the Gain" by Dan Sullivan and Dr Benjamin Hardy
3. "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson
4. "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill
5. "Be Seen" by Jen Gottlieb
6. "Atomic Habits" by James Clear
7. "Life Admin Hacks" by Mia Northrop and Dinah Rowe-Roberts.

Christmas is coming!

The best way to keep the cost and effort as low as possible over Christmas is to start planning - preferrably now.

In this episode I give you some ideas and also let you in on what I do to keep Christmas manageable - both financially and mentally. Every year I host a large Christmas Eve dinner, and I've worked out how to make it fun and as fuss free as possible.

Enjoy!

Being an adult can often feel just plain hard - especially as a woman, a mum and a business owner. There is SO much to do. Life Admin is also something we don't really acknowledge to the fullest extent of its impact.

We realise there is housework, taking care of the kids, taking care of parents, taking care of the household in general. Life Admin forms a HUGE part of this.

Over a glass of wine, Mia Northrop and her good friend Dinah Rowe Roberts were lamenting all the "stuff" that just needs to get done, and they decided to do a lot of work and research to put together the amazingly helpful book, "Life Admin Hacks".

In this episode Mia takes us through lots of great tips to make your life easier to "adult" (I love how language develops, and that this can be used as a verb!).

Feeling overwhelmed in the present day is completely understandable. There are SO many facets to our lives that have multiple layers. Anytime anything changes, this adds to the mental load.

There is an Inner Layer that goes with this:

1. Your Beliefs
2. The Thoughts you think, based on those Beliefs
3. Emotions you feel as a result of your Thoughts
4. Actions that you do or don't take as a result of your Thoughts.

HOW do you work on the Inner Layer in your Outer World, so you can take the right action and feel less overwhelmed, or at least manage everything better?

Here is a process for that:

1. Reflect on what you have done and achieved so far in your life and whether you want to keep going how you are going now.
2. Take the Time to both reflect and just "be". Sit with your Thoughts, and think back to how these relate to the Beliefs you have. Write down the Beliefs that come to you (good and not so good). Reflect on the Thoughts you have. Feel where in your body you are feeling the Emotions that are coming to you.
3. Gain Clarity from these reflections, and write down what comes to you. It's important to get this out of your head. Ask yourself questions about what you want, why you want it, and how you want your life and business to be.
4. Make a Plan of at least 1 to 3 Action steps, and then DO the things you have on your plan!

Can you be both spiritual and a successful business woman? ABSOLUTELY!

How you practice spirituality is part of your journey and we all evolve in this space. It goes beyond personal development, and into the realm of "being" and "receiving".

There is a peace and calm that goes with bringing spirituality into business, which is not always easy.

Part of this blending of the spiritual and business impacts how we make decisions in our business - who we work with, what we offer, how we offer it. And our decision making style grows and evolves with us as we pursue the journey of enlightenment.

Recognising that it is a part of who you are is important, and then you can also recognise that in order to amplify your impact and make decisions that will support your growth, you need to be aware of your numbers. The financial side becomes important as a tool for growth.

There is then energy that is injected in how you see money and how it shows up for you in your business. This blends the spiritual and business beautifully.
