Today on the podcast I have the absolutely wonderful Kate Johansson. Kate is the owner of KOJA Health. For those of you who received the recent Winter Box or Mystery Box, you would've received a KOJA health natural protein bar or protein pancakes - they're seriously sooo delicious!

Kate has been a friend of mine since embarking on this business journey and I have watched KOJA Health go from strength to strength and take the Australian Health food market by storm. KOJA is now stocked in Coles across Australia, and you'll find out in this episode a new and hugely exciting retailer that you'll now be able to find their products in. Anyone who owns their own business will know that this is a MASSIVE feat.

In this episode we talk about how Kate started KOJA after working in the supplement industry and seeing the flaws that she wanted to fix, the behind the scenes of KOJA and how it all comes together, the challenges and obstacles she faced in the growth of this business, particularly with the recent changing climate, and how she's managed to get KOJA to where it is today.

Kate is so incredibly humble and open, and I just know you're going to love this episode.

This week on the podcast we have the incredible Alyse Co-Cliff. Alyse is the owner of 'An Apple a Day', where she offers both over the phone and in-person nutritionist consultations. Her website covers a range of information from hormones, to gut health, healthy & delicious recipes, to all things nutrition and holistic health. Alyse is a certified nutritionist whose career in health and wellbeing stemmed from her understanding of the simple relationship between cause and effect.

As you'll hear in this episode, Alyse has gone from traveling the world as an international model,

to returning home to Australia to embark on a 4 year science degree that allowed her to study the biochemistry and pathology of health and disease. This also allowed her to integrate a holistic understanding of both pharmacology and western diagnostic tools. This foundation, when combined with her years of personal experience, led her to discover an approach to health and wellness that is not only holistic, but also scientific and integrative

In this episode we chat all things gut health - what it is, how it affects us mentally, emotionally and physically, why good gut health is important and how you can improve yours.

Alyse is an absolute wealth of knowledge and I have no doubt you'll learn a lot from this episode.

Enjoy!

Today on the podcast I had the honour of chatting with the absolutely incredible and inspiring Tami Roos.

As you'll hear in this episode, through a few experiences in Tami's life, she came to the life-changing realization that the missing link to living a life of fulfillment and well-being is meditation. With meditation being the tool that aligns us with our untapped highest potential.

Tami then earned her PHD in Parapsychic Science with her dissertation on meditation, which gave her the scientific knowledge behind meditation and many other practices.

I know that a lot of people still see meditation as a bit 'woo woo', but Tami has the scientific knowledge to back it.

Tami is the acclaimed author of Presence to Power: I AM the Gift, she is also an accomplished keynote speaker, coach, director at Nurture Her Retreats and wears SO many more hats.

You'll quickly hear in this podcast just how grounding and inspiring Tami is. We talk all about meditation and how that practice changed Tami's life, how it can change your life and how you can start a meditation easily.

Tami is something who I just feel so blessed to have spoken with and I guarantee you'll love hearing from her!

Enjoy!
