Press Pause Podcast

So much of what we do each day happens quietly in the background. These are habits, reactions and patterns running on autopilot, often without us even realising it. It’s not until we bring them into our awareness and talk about them that we can really see them for what they are.

In this episode, Lauren and I explore our subconscious go-tos: the things we keep doing on repeat, even when they aren’t getting us the results we want. These patterns can quietly hold us back. They can stop us from looking after ourselves in the best way we can and keep us from moving towards the life we truly want.

The good news is that once we notice them, we can start to clean them up. That shift in awareness can open the door to a whole new way of doing things, and a whole lot of new results.

Are you looking for the one thing that will make everything okay?

In this episode, Katrina and Lauren explain why there’s no magic pill or quick fix. Real, lasting health comes from small things done consistently.

We talk about caring for yourself across every pillar of health (physical, mental, soulful and emotional) and how they work together. Our hope is that this gives you a deeper awareness, so you can stop chasing the next quick fix and build results that last.

In this episode:

• Why the one fix wonder keeps letting us down
• How small habits add up to a big impact
• Why consistency matters more than perfection
• Looking after body, mind and emotions together

Reflection: What’s one small, nourishing thing you could do consistently this week?

Take time to pause. You are worthy.

Sometimes all you have is yourself. Especially in your own mind.

Today we talk about why it's important that your voice is loudest over all the noise, information and day to day schedules. Even your own voice if it's not serving you, since we all know we can be the most hardest on ourselves.

Once your voice can be heard it's even more crucial that in the hardest times, you can be the one to coach yourself back into a place of strength and motivation.

Join us as we share how we do this for ourselves and what we have learned along the way.

Intuitive, soul care alignment, which we also call self care is a home that we build. It needs a strong, balanced foundation to hold the home and life needed to live in it. 

Today we talk all about the four pillars of self care, how to be aware of them so you can really get security, stability and balance from your self care, and also know that if something not quite right you can refer back to anyone of them.

The four pillars are:

1. Physical Pillar
2. Emotional Pillar
3. Mental Pillar
4. Spiritual Pillar

Join as we revisit what we felt was an important topic. One we have done before yet felt it was needed to revisit. We hope you enjoy exploring these pillars with us, may it give you a greater understanding around the layers of what it takes to look after you.

Protein is something we hear a lot about, but what actually is protein, why do we need it, and why does it become even more important as we get older?

In this episode, we chat about what protein is and why it is one of the essential building blocks our bodies need.

We look at the reasons why protein is important for muscle, strength, recovery, repair and maintaining our bodies as we age.

We also talk about why getting enough protein becomes particularly important as we get older, when we naturally start to lose muscle mass and maintaining strength becomes increasingly important.

We discuss how much protein we should generally be aiming for each day, different sources of protein including both animal and plant-based options, and simple ways to include more protein in your everyday meals.

Most importantly, we encourage you to take a look at your own diet and ask yourself — are you getting enough protein?

The power of taking responsibility isn't spoken about enough.

Knowing that you sometimes may not have all the information, and asking what you may have contributed, is an important thought process to be able to create if you really care about yourself and others. 

We give our power away when we allow others to be the reason why we feel how we feel, instead of accepting that we are the one in control of our emotions and experiences. Sometimes it takes the experience of blaming others before you realise it can be a silent merry go round of resentment.

 Once you take full responsibility for your experiences, you can learn the lessons, control your outcomes to unfold the way you truly want, and if not, see them with a different perspective.

Most importantly, learn not to blame yourself. Remember you did the best you could at the time, with the information that you had.

In this episode, we chat with Dr Hayley Squance, author, speaker and emergency management specialist, about her beautiful children’s book Stargazer — inspired by a real blind ostrich she cared for many years ago.

Hayley holds a PhD in Emergency Management and has worked across veterinary emergency and critical care, university education, and emergency management in New Zealand and internationally. Through her experiences, she has developed a deep interest in how we navigate change and uncertainty, why slowing down matters, and how much we can notice when we become truly present to what is happening around us.

Her book Stargazer has evolved into so much more than a children’s story. It carries a powerful message about awareness, slowing down, seeing things differently and recognising the connections around us.

Through Hayley’s own life experiences, we explore what we might be missing when we rush through life and how pausing, paying attention and becoming more aware can open us up to a whole new way of experiencing the world.

A beautiful reminder that sometimes we don’t need to do more — we simply need to pause and notice.

Because perhaps there is much more happening around us than we realise.

Follow the full journey and be the first to know when the book is launched.
