Reset with Ash Cam

Today’s episode is a guided meditation designed to help you quickly hit pause on your busy mind and bring you back to the present moment.

During a stressful time, meditation has been scientifically proven to activate our parasympathetic nervous system. Which is really just a fancy way of saying, if we are stressed and in a ‘fight or flight’ mode it can help us to feel calmer and enter a rest and digest mode. 

So while Meditation can’t magically remove all of the stressful things in our lives – it can help to make them feel a lot easier to cope with.

A lot of people will say to me Ash, I can’t meditate because my mind is too busy.

If you can relate to this feeling don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Studies show that almost 50% of the time our minds are thinking about something other than what we are currently doing.

And the good news for all of us with busy minds is that meditation isn’t actually about creating a completely blank mind.

 It’s normal for thoughts to pop into your head during a meditation and I find that doing a guided one like this is a great way to use a meditation teachers as an anchor to keep coming back to. 

Thank you for meditating with me. I hope you have the most beautiful day.

Unfortunately, postnatal depression is very common. In fact, some studies suggest it impacts up to 1 in 5 new mums.

This topic hits home for me as it has impacted some of the strongest women I know - without warning and for a number of reasons often diagnosed far too late.

Anna is a Psychologist and the mother of adorable twins.

In today's episode we dive deep into understanding the warning signs, triggers, prevention strategies and support that new parents need. During pregnancy, new mothers are given lots of support - however, once the baby arrives the focus tends to shift to the child when it is the new mother who needs our love and support more than ever.

If you are a parent, partner, have a family member or a friend who is about to become a parent - you're going to want to listen to this.

12 months ago I attended a workshop that completely shifted the way I approached my work schedule, social activities and fitness routine.

It also helped me to fall in love with my soft feminine side and embrace the different versions of myself who show up each month.

The workshop was lead by Chasca Summerville - a qualified Ayurvedic Practitioner & Author of Ayurvedic Rituals.

She's a wealth of knowledge and I was so happy when she agreed to come into the studio and share it with us all. 

Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world's oldest medical systems dating back thousands of years. It focusses on prevention, nature, nourishing our bodies and embracing what it means to be female.

In today's interview we cover:

* What is Ayurveda?
* How can a slower life help us become more productive?
* Why women's cycles sync with the moon?
* How to align your life, career and diet with your cycle?
* Men have cycles too... but they restart every 24 hours.
* How ancient wisdom can help us thrive in a modern world?

And so much more...

I loved this chat and know you will too.

Babies... So many women in my life (including myself) have spent majority of their younger lives trying to avoid falling pregnant. 

We've chosen to have an exciting career, to travel the world and pack in a million different life experiences before even considering if having a baby is right for us. 

However, despite what we were taught in school - having a baby doesn't always  happen instantly. 

In fact, as this episode points out - there are a number of things we really should be considering, adjusting and implementing months before trying to conceive. 

Whether you are on the fence about kids, planning to freeze your eggs, want kids in 10 years or next month, this episode is packed with actionable insights around fertility. 

And no - it’s not just for women. 

As the cliche suggests, it takes two to tango so we are diving deep into all the things that both males and females should consider if they want to create healthy happy babies. 

• How far in advance do you need to start preparing your body to have a baby?
• Fertility rates declining - what you can do about it? 
• How to prepare your body for IVF? 
• Simple lifestyle changes you can make to improve your fertility. 
• What to consider if you’re planning to freeze your eggs?
• What males need to do consider? Hint: You should start eating walnuts… 

With a food first approach to fertility, Grace has helped hundreds of clients from around the world to bring healthy babies into the world. In fact, she is loved by her clients so much that one of them even named their child after her. 

If you’re listening to this podcast I know you’re a high achiever. You want to excel in all areas of your life and fertility is no exception. 

I have learned SO much from Grace and know you will too.

Today's meditation feels like a beautiful hug. 

We are often our own toughest critics racing from one thing to the next. Never pausing to show ourselves the love and kindness that we give to everyone else in our lives. 

I needed to hear these words today and I hope it helps you feel a little bit lighter too. 

Thank you for meditating with me.

Despite the statistics - it's something that we never think we'll personally experience. It's an awkward topic and we'd rather avoid it... until it's too late. 

Divorce. 

Stephanie Murray is a Family Lawyer and Partner at Richardson Murray Law. Her team has helped thousands of couples to navigate divorce so I felt like she is the perfect person to ask all of my curious questions.  

• Are divorce rates declining? 
• Why do couples get divorced? 
• When is divorce a good idea?
• How do some men avoid paying child support? 
• Are all assets (including crypto and superannuation) included in a settlement? 
• Are there free resources for people who can't afford a lawyer? 
• How long does it take to get divorced? 
• Should you get a mid-marriage prenup before having children? 

This episode is packed with practical wisdom and I think you should share it with all your girlfriends. It will help us all to make informed decisions when entering a relationship, having children or considering marriage. 

It will also help empower those who may currently feel trapped. You never know who is struggling behind closed doors.
