Optimise

It's no secret that I LOOOOVE SLEEP!

I never used to & would always say "we can sleep when we're dead" .... wow

The more I have been on my health journey & realised first hand how important sleep is especially when it AFFECTS every other area of our life - in a positive or negative way... the more I started to prioritise it & now I am just an absolute sleep wiz...

so here is exactly how I support this incredible & VITALLY IMPORTANT part of being a human 💤

💤 Why sleep is important

💤 What is our circadian rhythm

💤 The role of melatonin (our sleepy hormone) & how to maximise it’s production at the right times

💤 What needs to happen in your body FOR you to fall asleep

💤 The power of sunlight, & the negative impacts of blue light

💤 The stages of sleep - Light, Deep, REM

💤 My exact behaviours, practices, habits that I prioritise ( & what I choose NOT to do! )

💤 Negative effects of blue light & how to minimise & reduce in our homes + our screens

💤 Why you want to always drive with your window down or open the windows in your home

💤 Mouth taping, the benefits & why I choose to do it while sleeping

💤 + a fun little audit on your own sleep

Today's ep I am joined by the beautiful Shay Laureen,

Shay is a criminology and human services graduate turned entrepreneur when she realised life has so much more to offer when she harnesses into her power. Her journey has not been linear however, & the lessons she has learnt and the tools she has acquired has enabled her to transform a life of her wildest dreams in the wedding and event industry! Shay has buckled down in her journey and is excited to share with you today some insight of her manifestation and self developed journey 🔮

We cover so much gold around harnessing your own power, manifestation including her specific practices & how she has been able to achieve some EPIC goals, calling in aligned friendships + so much more:

🌸 Shay’s journey & feeling unfulfilled in a career she’d worked hard for & the mindset surrounding that

🌸 “I’ve got everything I want but it’s not what I want”

🌸 Her “breakdown” at 22 & what magic led from that

🌸 The Universe giving her what she asked for - & the power of saying YES even if it’s scary & you want to say no

🌸 Aligned action plus asking for what you want

🌸 The power of visualisation + how to start asking for what you want

🌸 going ALL IN for yourself

🌸 Shay’s habits & practices that she has in her manifesting tool belt

🌸 How to surrender & TRUST the process, and yourself

Episode #2 brings on my FIRST GUEST! Rae who lives in sunny Sri Lanka living her absolute best & most vibrant life 🌞

Rae is an exercise physiologist + transformation coach helping others reinvent their whole life using vision boards, neuroscience + movement.

This was SUCH a juicy convo + will really help you think about the reality you are creating & the mindset you are allowing.

🪩 We speak about:

How your environment can affect your joy & how to optimise your environment for joy

How you can optimise yourself to then affect the environment you ARE in (if you can’t change it)

How WALKING daily can help with this! 

Why movement must be a non negotiable in your day, especially for your mind

Moving your body as a self love practice & understanding & seeing your body as a physical being

Rae’s practices that are second nature to her now because of how they make her feel

Why having clarity on what you want is important & the trap we get in to that stops us from gaining clarity

The magic of vision boards for our brains & how they create a level of self trust & power

How neuroscience impacts your vision board coming true + the power of Cause & Effect
