Press Pause Podcast

In this episode we talk about the incredible practice of breath work and the awareness of breathing.
 
 This tool is not to be underestimated. The power of the breath is connected to so many areas of our health and well-being, and can literally put the body into a state of healing when used consciously.
 
 We discuss different types of breath work, the benefits of mindful breathing, being conscious of your breath, and take you through a little exercise with us at the end. 
 
 Even if you only walk away with the awareness of how you are breathing and how you would like to breathe, this is a huge realisation. 
 Join us as we highlight the power of breath and breathe life back into your body.

In today's episode, we look at our languaging or internal dialogue and how that has an impact on not only our self-care but our results. 

The power of our internal conversations is a great area to take note of and inquire into how your self-talk is in your mind and what language you use when talking in conversations.

Join us as we discuss simple and effective ways that can help you get more clear on what might be holding you back in how you talk and bring a deeper level of awareness.

In this episode, we talk about our last self-care pillar, the Soulful Pillar.  It is so important to know who we are at a soulful level if we are to truly look after our health and be able to optimise it. 

How do you connect to your inner flame? Here we talk about connecting, trusting, and listening to your intuition creating your own relationship, and practicing with the spiritual realms of what it means to be you.   

In this episode we look at the emotional side of self-care and how this pillar can play a big part in bringing more balance to your life.

We talk about some key points that will help you to inquire into your uniqueness around emotions, understanding them, yourself, and how it can give more insight into how you can then support yourself.

Both Lauren and Katrina have very different ways they tap into bringing more balance within this pillar by understanding what they need and recognising the areas to be aware of when it shows up. 

In this episode we talk about the importance of the mental pillar.  What does it mean to look after yourself mentally? Do you experience a sense of presence within your mind and are aware of your internal dialogue?

Here we discuss the varieties of ways we can serve and self sabotage, and how to gain a fresh perspective without judgment. This way we ultimately learn more about who we are and invite the joy back into the journey. 

Join us as we share some tips and tricks we use personally for our own mental and internal self care. 

 In this episode, we explore the Physical Pillar for building a strong foundation for long-term self-care practices. 
This pillar is an important one when it comes to how we look after ourselves and what we do to ensure our physical bodies are well nurtured.
We talk about getting clear on areas for you to reflect on to see how you doing in this area of your life, to ask yourself some questions about how you are moving your body, types of exercising, what you eat, what you wear, our relationships, your mindset around all of this and how it impacts your entire life.
Exploring your physical pillar can be fun and we hope you come away with some clear ways to bring more balance into this area if you need it.

In this episode, we chat about the importance of building a good foundation, and why this is a vital part for long-term self-care practices and maintaining good health.
 We look at what self-care is all about and what it means to you, helping you get clear on your unique journey.
 Self-care doesn't have to be hard or take up a lot of time,  we share some simple ways that you can add self-care as part of your day making it super easy and fun.

In this episode we introduce ourselves and tell you about our stories and inspiration to creating this podcast.
We invite you to pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and join us to slow down and begin the journey of discovering what your unique self-care looks like,  where you currently are at and start to reflect on the impact it is having and ways to move forward helping you be more connected and happy with how you look after yourself.
