August 06, 2025 SLP 503: Self Love Quicky - The 6 Human Needs
In this week’s Quicky we’re diving into something pretty powerful – Tony Robbins’ 6 Human Needs – and how understanding them can radically transform your relationship with self-love. Tony teaches that we’re all driven by six basic human needs. These aren’t just wants – they’re needs, wired into our psychology. And the way we meet them – positively or negatively – shapes our happiness, health, and yes… our capacity for self-love.

August 05, 2025 SLP 502: Kensho and Satori - Two Roads to Becoming with Maritza Barone
‘Life can give us these horrible bolder moments that make decisions that we are sort of forced into change. Or we can say, hey I am going to create some change myself, some positive change and shake things up. So that, Universe or Light whatever you want to call it doesn’t do it for us. And there are Japanese concepts that I love and it’s called Kensho and Satori. And so, for those listening who have not heard of it which I heard many many years ago and it’s stuck with me. Kensho is growth through pain, growth through those rock bottom moments that force us to change. And Satori is growth through inspiration. And it’s much more enjoyable, it can be somewhat slower growth journey but it’s obviously a chosen pathway and much more enjoyable.’ ~ Maritza Barone
In this inspiring episode, Kim is joined by the incredible Maritza Barone – former TV presenter, podcast host, and voice coach – who shares her journey from Melbourne to Fiji and the Sunshine Coast in search of deeper purpose and self-discovery. Together they explore the power of storytelling, the growth of podcasting, and how personal challenges can spark transformation. Maritza opens up about her family’s move during COVID, the lessons learned, and how self-love, mindfulness, and authentic confidence became the foundation of her work. They also dive into the generational impact on youth, the importance of mentorship, and creating space for powerful, purpose-led voices. An uplifting conversation you wont want to miss about change, connection, and living with intention.
Maritza Barone has had an illustrious career in the mainstream media world as a TV presenter, radio host, and producer — gracing red carpets, MC’ing & hosting major sporting events and film premieres, and interviewing celebrities across Australia.
But behind the polished media presence was a deeper personal journey — one of learning to break free from self-doubt, build authentic confidence, and step into her true voice. Maritza knows what it feels like to question your worth, to dim your light, and to wonder if you’re really “good enough.” And that’s exactly why she’s made it her mission to help others move past those same doubts.
Seeking greater purpose and meaning behind her work, Maritza created her own platforms to inspire and empower. She launched the Things You Can’t Un-Hear podcast — now a top-ranked show in self-development and wellbeing — to share transformative conversations that awaken confidence, expand perspective, and spark personal growth.
Through her purpose-led Guide Your Light Network, Maritza helps emerging and established voices bring their message to the world through powerful, purpose-driven podcasts. As a speaker, coach, and mentor, she supports people in finding the courage to be seen and heard, and in developing the confidence to express themselves with impact.
Maritza’s work is rooted in the belief that everyone has a story worth sharing — and that real confidence comes not from perfection, but from owning who you are and showing up anyway.
Her definition of Self Love is:
I’m a tea lover. Having a cup of tea is one of the biggest self-love actions. I do it whilst I am drinking and moving around the house for half an hour is pure bliss, a non-negotiable me moment. It allows my thoughts in my head to catchup. It’s a switch off, a cup of tea in silence. Let it all catch up. Write it down and get it out of your head.
Her favourite quotes are:
If they say it’s impossible they mean it’s for them, not for you.
Be a creator in your life, you can create the life that you want to live.

Quotes:
I am passionate about meeting people and helping them to live their purpose.
Life’s short, take risks, be a little crazy.
Kensho is growth through pain and Satori is growth through inspiration.
Our biggest learning is we know we can do it.
There are both sides there in Fiji.
The mountain calmed my nervous system right down.
It is an awakening of sorts where you start to question a lot of things.
The term personal development kind of annoys me now.
There comes a point where you have learnt a lot and it’s time to meet yourself in the middle of who you were beforehand.
When we are always going into the healing we can forget to have fun.
Those bathroom floor moments lead us to the healing.
Once you hear it or see it you cannot unhear it or unsee it.
It’s called the Guide Your Light network.
I call it sharing my voice and that gives us freedom.
If it’s in you to speak up then this is a pathway to share your voice.
There can be cycles over generations and it’s up to you to not follow that same path.
You can be the one to create change.
Work out what you enjoy doing to know what to do next.
Don’t take everything surface value, trust your gut and know what’s right and wrong for you. Question everything.
Spend time with yourself so you know who you are.
We are not meant to consume we are meant to create.
That inner knowing is my greatest mentor.
Let it all catch up. Write it down and get it out of your head.
If they say it’s impossible they mean it’s for them, not for you.
Be a creator in your life, you can create the life that you want to live.

July 30, 2025 SLP 501: Self Love Quicky - Endure, Accept or Create Change
Today’s Quicky is a gentle, powerful reflection on change – the kind we fight, the kind we learn to accept, and the kind we bravely choose to create. Whether you’re in the midst of a life shift or simply feeling the undercurrent of something new, this conversation is here to hold you. We explore the science of how change affects the brain and body, the emotional rollercoaster that can come with it, and the sacred self-care tools you can lean into when the ground feels shaky. So, take a breath, drop your shoulders, and let’s dive into the art of enduring, accepting, and creating change – with heart, with grace, and with a whole lot of self-love.

Quotes:
You can either endure change, accept it, or create it.
To endure change is often our first instinct. We brace. We hold on.
Acceptance isn’t giving up – it’s letting go of the fight.
Creating change takes courage.
Our brains are actually wired to resist change.
And the brain doesn’t like unfamiliar.
Too much change, too fast, can overwhelm the nervous system.
Anchor into daily rituals.
Focus on what you can influence.
Name your feelings.
Trust in seasons.
Be kind to yourself.
Change is not the enemy—it’s often the very catalyst for the healing, growth, or breakthrough your soul has been craving.

July 28, 2025 SLP 500: The Universe Always Has A Plan with Tayla Morrison
‘I mean it’s awful to have to go through them, but if I hadn’t gone through any of them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So, as painful as it is, you can’t have light without the dark, a rainbow without the rain, you just know you the more you avoid the dichotomies the more it’s going to be drawn to you, so I really am grateful for it. But the way I got through it was probably just having such a reassurance in myself and backing myself, that you know, eventually I would get a yes, whether it was in my career in dancing or business career, it’s going to put me where I am meant to be. So just backing myself, believing in myself and having a bit of trust in the Universe that it’s already mapped out is probably what got me through.’ ~ Tayla Morrison
Welcome to this very special 500th episode of the Self Love Podcast. I can hardly believe we’ve reached this incredible milestone, and I truly couldn’t think of a more meaningful way to celebrate it than with someone who holds my heart – my daughter, Tayla Morrison.
Tayla’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and reinvention. From her early days dancing on stage to navigating the highs and lows of life, to now stepping into her power as a leader in the wellness space, she embodies what it means to rise, to evolve, and to trust deeply in yourself and the Universe.
In today’s episode, we dive into the challenges she’s faced, the courage it took to pivot, and the beautiful way she now channels her purpose through movement, mindset, and heart. She shares her philosophy on self-love, what it really means to back yourself, and how she’s found light through the dark.
This is more than just a mother-daughter conversation – it’s a celebration of growth, legacy, and love. I’m so proud of the woman Tayla is and beyond honoured to share this milestone moment with her and with you.
From dancing on stage to directing a thriving wellness brand, Tayla Morrison’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Starting dance at the age of five, Tayla trained professionally with the Queensland National Ballet and went on to live out her dream performing cabaret across Europe—including a once-in-a-lifetime role with a circus in Germany.
After dedicating nearly two decades to her career as a dancer, a spinal fracture and the global pause of COVID brought significant challenges—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. This time became a catalyst for reinvention. Tayla’s resilience and curiosity led her to expand her skills, earning an Advanced Diploma in Dance, Cert III & IV in Fitness and Personal Training, Cert IV in Mat and Reformer Pilates, a Masters in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and a Diploma of Counselling.
Her journey through movement, mindset, and healing paved the way to a rewarding career in fitness and wellbeing. She became a passionate Personal Trainer and Pilates teacher, eventually stepping into the role of Programs and Performance Manager at Project Reform, where she continues to lead with heart and vision.
Today, Tayla brings her depth of experience, fierce drive, and creative flair to Twenty8 Essentials as Managing Director. Having watched her mum, Kim Morrison, build this incredible company from the ground up, Tayla always had a quiet knowing she’d one day be part of its story. Now, that vision has come to life. Working side by side with her mum, she’s proud to carry forward the legacy—infusing Twenty8 with fresh energy, bold ideas, and a deep respect for its roots.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self-respect. If you know your worth ultimately you love yourself.
Her favourite quote is:
If you bet on yourself you can never lose.

Quotes:
I am a go-getting confident woman who loves giving it her all.
Covid taught me to live in the moment good and bad.
I am such a doer, so I need to fill my time and not waste my time.
I was always confident and knew what I wanted at high school.
I had someone like you in my corner helping me to feel confident no matter what.
Have the space to get it mapped out – just DO something.
It’s freeing to rebuild yourself over and over it’s an opportunity to remodel.
If you are going to do some thing do it well. Commit to it.
Do something every day to improve yourself by 1%.
Body image around dancing has changed a lot but there is a lot of traditional ways too.
Dance is a beautiful way express yourself.
A lot of no’s bring you closer to the next yes.
As painful as it is you cannot have light without the dark.
You can’t have light without the dark, a rainbow without the rain.
Trust in the Universe that it’s already mapped out – is probably what got me through.
It was awful but at the same time it was insane.
It made me rise above and keep putting myself out there.
It was surreal but I was living what I had manifested.
I loved that it was so in honour of the female body, it was seen as an art form.
I was in such rejection and denial I stayed in bed for 3 months!
Life isn’t going back to what it was before, so I had to slap on a smile.
I was scared shitless to take a leap of faith.
The pros are it’s all in my control the cons are it’s all in my control.
You are in a bubble being a dancer.
It made me want to question everything.
Eventually you will come out the other side and take the learnings onboard.
Having people support you is a game changer.
To love and be loved is what I have learned.
It’s a true blessing to be on this journey with you.
I have been inundated with Twenty8 for 16 years and have been added feathers in my cap to make this business feel sexy.
It is more than skincare and oils there is so much in behind the ethos.
Everyone has played an important role in my life.
Being close with family is a state of mind.
When my dad is home he is fully present and always there.
Our family’s cup is so full and we fill each others cup.
I love my brother and so love and appreciate our relationship.
You do you, I don’t care and I will do me!
I am very much about living in the now.
Do as much research as you can and control the controllables.
If you bet on yourself you can never lose.

July 23, 2025 SLP 499: Self Love Quicky - The Power of Smell
In this week’s Quicky we explore the powerful connection between smell and emotions, and how smell bypasses the thinking brain to influence the limbic system and affect memory and attraction. Our sense of smell can be dulled by pollution and synthetic fragrances, but we can do exercises like using essential oils to reset and retrain our sense of smell. We explore the power of the daily aromatic body boost ritual using essential oils and how we can create new rituals and habits by intentionally using scents through a variety of methods.
All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Quotes:
Smell is often the forgotten sense.
It’s our most primal sense, fully developed in the womb by just 8 weeks.
The limbic system is the home of memory, emotion, and survival instinct.
Scent can take you back 20 years in an instant.
Humans can distinguish over 1 trillion different scents, which defies the long-held belief that we could only identify about 10,000 scents.
The olfactory nerve is the only cranial nerve directly linked to the limbic brain.
Special smells are soul imprints.
We can train our sense of smell – just like a muscle.
To honour your sense of smell is to honour your soul.

July 21, 2025SLP 498: You Are More Than Your Mind, Body and Emotions - N8 with Jules Kuroda
‘The N8 Self, again it stands for our higher nature – N8 – it has eight characteristics, But, it has some qualities outside of characteristics and one of those qualities is – it is both individual and universal. So, it’s something I have, but it’s something you have, we all have this aspect of self. That is our being, that is our essence, the energy in our life. And I wanted to be sure that it was tangible, so how do we break it down into characteristics that we can like build on.’ ~ Jules Kuroda
In this uplifting episode, Jules Kuroda shares the wisdom behind The N8 Self, a framework designed to reconnect us with the human spirit – the often overlooked but essential aspect of our being. Drawing on her global experiences and deep spiritual insight, Jules explains how the N8 Self is both individual and universal, offering a tangible path to self-awareness and fulfillment.
Through the lens of eight core characteristics – Character, Contribution, Connection, Creativity, Gratitude, Generosity, Courage, and Meaning – Jules invites us to rediscover our innate light, reflect on our values, and reframe the way we relate to ourselves and others. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that we are all meaning makers, wired for connection, and capable of great courage and contribution.
As you will see in this week’s show, we discover how embracing your true self – light, shadow, and all – can lead to a more purposeful, connected, and joy-filled life.
Jules Kuroda’s life passion is helping people get past the ideas they have of themselves to unlock more fulfillment. She hopes to bring more joy and understanding into the world through her book The N8 Self.
The N8 Self invites the reader into holistic connection beyond just the mind, body, and heart and into the aspect of self we don’t talk much about, the human spirit. This powerful part of our human experience drives our need for connection and meaning. Without a framework to wrestle with, this part of self often gets left out of how we think about ourselves.
The N8 Self offers a tangible way to understand and cultivate more meaning and purpose in our lives. Through eight characteristics, the reader will discover both the individual and universal way we are all wired for connection and meaning.
Discover principles that:
Give you different tools to shift listlessness and anxiety
Identify core values and ways you long to contribute
Cultivate gratitude, generosity, and creativity
Discover meaning through rethinking connection
The N8 Self is for those who are seeking for more meaning and purpose in life, or for those who are looking to understand themselves more fully.
To learn more about her book visit: https://then8self.myshopify.com/
Her definition of Self Love is: being, and taking care of the deepest part of you, the hidden parts of you, the secrets, the treasure… and let it shine. Let your light shine.
Her favourite quote is from Rumi:
“Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

It’s more blessed to give than receive.
We all seek meaning and significance.
Meaning helps us to become who we are meant to be – we are all meaning makers.

July 16, 2025 SLP 497: Self Love Quicky - Celebrating Love Life and Moments
In this week’s Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, we are talking all about the beauty and power of celebration – why it matters, how it transforms us, and why even the smallest gesture can create lasting memories. From the science behind feel-good neurochemicals to the soulful art of presence, we can see that birthdays, weddings, graduations, and everyday moments are sacred opportunities to honour life and love. There are a few oil blends for special occasions to elevate every celebration too. A beautiful reminder to lead with love, make the effort, and cherish the people who matter most.
Here are some of my favourite celebration blends and oils:
Birthdays:
Orange for joy, Ylang Ylang for heart connection, and Jasmine to elevate the spirit.
Diffuser blend: 3 drops Sweet Orange, 2 drops Ylang Ylang, 1 drop Jasmine.
Anniversaries:
Rose for unconditional love, Sandalwood for sacred intimacy, and Patchouli to ground connection.
Diffuser blend: 2 drops Rose, 2 drops Sandalwood, 1 drop Patchouli.
Weddings:
Frankincense for spiritual blessing, Geranium for harmony, and Lavender for peace.
Diffuser blend: 2 drops Frankincense, 2 drops Geranium, 2 drops Lavender.
Graduations:
Peppermint for clarity, Lemon for focus, and Basil for motivation.
Diffuser blend: 2 drops Peppermint, 2 drops Lemon, 1 drop Basil.

Quotes:
A celebration is not just about throwing a party or giving gifts – it’s a powerful ritual of acknowledgment.
When we pause to celebrate, we honour not just the person or event, but also the journey that brought us to that moment.
When we celebrate, we boost feel-good chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin – the neurotransmitters of happiness, love, and connection.
They actually enhance immunity, reduce stress, and deepen relationships.
A celebration is a sacred act of presence.
It’s not the size of the celebration – it’s the intent behind it that lingers.
Say it. Show it. Celebrate it.

July 14, 2025 SLP 496: Open Conversations on Life, Love and Legacy with Ben Allan
‘Just have really open honest communication with your kids, don’t shy away from subjects. Don’t shy away from conversations. I really try to maintain that with my own kids to not really make anything taboo with them. I want to have really open conversations. I know some parents might be awkward talking about teenage suicide and self-harm, those kind of mental health and emotional concerns that we have with the youth. But don’t be scared to talk to your kids about that. Actually, if anyone has gone through mental first aid, especially youth mental first aid, they train you to be really up front about an issue like suicide and to ask really direct questions.’ ~ Ben Allan
In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Ben Allan – a devoted father of nearly six, professional photographer, musician, and passionate advocate for men’s mental health – shares the story of his life and the lessons he’s learned along the way. From his transition from Newcastle to the Sunshine Coast and building a successful photography business, to his experiences in parenting teenagers and navigating co-parenting, Ben brings depth, honesty, and humour to every topic.
He opens up about the challenges of losing and regaining custody of his children, the emotional toll of guilt and shame, and the transformational power of self-awareness and personal growth. He shares the emotional layers behind wedding photography, capturing raw and authentic moments over posed perfection.
This conversation explores the impact of social media on self-worth, the complexities of raising teens in today’s digital world, and the value of conscious parenting and emotional intelligence. Ben’s insights into relationships, the difference between love and deep care, and the importance of self-love and inner work make this episode a truly inspiring listen.
A powerful conversation filled with wisdom, compassion, and hope – with a shared vision to continue these vital discussions and make a difference in the lives of others, especially men navigating life, love, and legacy.
Ben Allan was born in Sydney, raised in Newcastle, and currently lives on the beautiful Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, with his partner and 5 (yes, five!) gorgeous children.
Never one to sit still, Ben has been an active small business owner and developer since his early 20’s. This has included a range of business, technology, creative and social endeavours. Ben’s current businesses include: Ignite Respite & Support: an NDIS support provider working with children and teens. Two Hearts Photo + Video: wedding photography & video servicing the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Brisbane and beyond. The 40 Year Old Fuckup: A podcast exploring life in all its messy glory.
Ben holds a BA Social Science (Social Welfare), a Diploma of Counselling, and is trained in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention and Youth Mental Health First Aid. He is currently completing a Juris Doctor at Griffith University, with the aims of working in the family and criminal law systems.
Yet there is a creative side to him that yearns to be fulfilled, with a love of music, photography and video production, you might also catch Ben playing a gig at a local bar, shooting a wedding, or filming a music video clip.
His definition of Self Love is making decisions and doing actions you are proud of. It is being true and authentic to yourself and doing things every day that you are proud of.
His favourite quote is:
This too shall pass.

Our job is to create those moments and give them a moment to connect.
Comparison is the thief of joy.

Have really open conversations with your kids don’t shy away from the hard conversations.
Build an environment and a relationship of trust.
I want them to be educated and aware of what is out there.
Adolescence is a very new thing in our culture.
Our youth need guidance.
It is important to maintain boundaries.
Remain centred in yourself.
What am I thinking, what am I feeling and how am I going to react to this situation.
Self-awareness and self-grounding is so much better when you remain calm.
Every phase of parenting is fantastic and fascinating.
Fear is a cage we put ourselves in.
When you lose big, it puts you into a state to evolve or die.
This too shall pass.
Don’t be passive, do the work, see the therapist, read the books.

July 09, 2025 SLP 495: Self Love Quicky - Masculine and Feminine Energy
In this week’s Quicky we explore the concept of balancing masculine and feminine energies, and how these archetypal forces manifest in every one of us regardless of gender and the characteristics associated with each. We look at how imbalance between these energies can lead to various negative feelings and certain essential oils we can use as a tool to reconnect. We talk daily practices to help activate and integrate both energies, and the importance of finding balance between the two energies for personal growth and well-being.
All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Quotes:
Masculine and feminine energy are two powerful, complementary forces that exist in all of us.
Masculine and feminine energies are archetypal forces.
Masculine Energy (Divine Masculine) is about action, structure, direction, protection, focus, doing, logic, and presence.
Feminine Energy (Divine Feminine) is about intuition, receptivity, flow, creativity, emotion, being, nurturing, and connection.
The goal isn’t to be one or the other.
Balance brings harmony. Integration brings wholeness.
Feminine oils include rose, clary sage, geranium, orange and ylang ylang.
Masculine oils include cedarwood, black pepper, rosemary, peppermint and vetiver.
You are not too much. You are not too soft, too fierce, too wild, or too bold.
Masculine and feminine energy are not in conflict – they are in love.

July 09, 2025 SLP 494: Accepting Things As They Are with Chaz Arachchi
‘My Dad right now has been diagnosed with some hardening of the arteries in his heart, and it looks to be pretty serious. I don’t want to make this morbid, but I got a real sense of mortality very quickly. But I feel like this is the same sort of thing. I am pretty sure he is a healthy man, he will be fine, but I think the word is ‘acceptance’. Rather than being scared or not really dealing with it, I know this is a part of life, this is what happens, we can’t be here forever, and accepting things as they are and really asking yourself, if this person mattered to you enough, what can you do for this person to create more beauty, love and joy in their life and support?’ ~ Chaz Arachchi
In this inspiring episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim chats with Chaz Arachchi about his powerful journey from Sri Lanka to Australia, the deep influence of his grandfather, and the lessons of peace and acceptance he carries today. They explore Chaz’s career pivot from law to physiotherapy, his entrepreneurial ventures in property development, and his insights into parenting and marriage. Chaz opens up about writing his new book The Physio Practice Growth System – a comprehensive guide for clinic owners – and shares practical business strategies, pricing advice, and personal philosophies on self-love and purpose. A rich conversation about legacy, leadership, and living with intention.
Chaz Arachchi is the founder of Robusq Property and PhysioMarketing.co, and the author of the upcoming book Physio Practice Growth System: A Step-By-Step Blueprint to Build a Practice That Runs and Grows Without You.
He’s owned and operated multiple physiotherapy clinics since the age of 23, and now leads a marketing agency that helps practice owners fill their diaries, hire with confidence, and scale sustainably – using his trademarked The Own Your Area Method™.
Chaz is also a seasoned property developer, specialising in medium-density, five-storey projects through his company, Robusq Property. He’s personally raised millions to fund developments – all self-taught, with no formal training.
When he’s not helping clinics grow or managing builds, you’ll find him in the kitchen cooking for his wife Jess some of her favourite meals or chasing his daughter Emilia around the house.
His definition of Self Love is truly around ikigai – knowing your life purpose. It is honouring the part of you that you really yearn to be and to do.
His favourite quote is: Don’t go for perfection. When you follow that path – your ikigai – you have a new level and new problems.

Quotes:
I had an incredibly rare privilege to have an amazing grandfather.
I love how calm, grounded and peaceful he was and I loved his simplicity.
I am so thankful for all he taught me.
Acceptance – accepting things as they are.
I have a very high degree of quality.
I get off on solving complex problems.
No matter how hard we try we just cannot ship junk.
Tony Robbins said we are one of three types – the artist, the leader/manager or the entrepreneur.
If you are going to go for it – go for it big.
I have a mission to thrive in life not just survive.
You want them to become a better leader than you.
I want to change enough to keep extending the reach and impact.
I want to help people ethically increase the lifetime value of their clients.
If the value is there they don’t care!
Follow your path – your ikigai.
Don’t go for perfection – done is always better than perfect.
Have the courage to follow your heart.
New level, new problems.
Accept that they are there but keep going.
