Self Love Podcast

‘And I think one of the reasons we don’t listen and act on those taps, and the whisper that turns into a roar, is because so many people very, very sadly have a belief that they are not worth taking care of. So, our beliefs are created from repetitive thoughts and if you’ve thought over and over again that you are not worth taking care of, or some version of that, you will literally believe it. And there’s a part of our brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) that just goes looking for evidence of what we believe is true, so it’s usually unconscious but we usually find evidence that we’re not worth taking care of, we find evidence of that everywhere if that’s a belief we have.”

I am absolutely delighted and excited to share with you one of my most favourite humans. Dr Libby Weaver is quite literally the whole package. She exudes beauty inside and out, and embodies everything she teaches around health and wellness. This incredible interview covers Libby’s story, what inspired her to study bio chemistry and how she absolutely loves to support people to live their best, healthiest and most authentic lives.

About Dr Libby:

Nutritional biochemist, Dr Libby Weaver (PhD), is a thirteen-times bestselling author, speaker and founder of the food-based supplement range, Bio Blends.

Armed with an abundance of knowledge, scientific research and a true desire to help people regain their energy and vitality, Dr Libby empowers and inspires people to take charge of their health and happiness through her books, live events and online courses.

A respected international speaker, Dr Libby’s expertise in nutritional biochemistry has led her to share the stage with Marianne Williamson, Sir Richard Branson, and Tony Robbins, as well as many female thought-leaders. She is regularly called upon by television and radio as an authoritative figure in the health and wellness industry.

With a natural ability to break even the most complex of concepts into layman’s terms, Dr Libby’s health messages embrace her unique three-pillared approach that explore the interplay between nutrition, emotions and the biochemistry of the body.

It’s no surprise that when it comes to achieving and maintaining ultimate health and wellbeing, Hollywood stars, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness, describe her as a “one stop shop in achieving and maintaining ultimate health and wellbeing.

Her definition of Self Love is to be who you really are, to be your authentic self and to do whatever it is that allows you to do that. It is a profound privilege to experience this in nature which helps us to become who we truly are.

Her favourite quote is:

If you knew who you truly are you would be in awe of yourself. Let yourself have what you already have. Joy is an irreplaceable depth of energy.

Now imagine what that would mean to the body and that embodiment if you were able to start to carry that moving forward long term if you continue to nurture the practices. And what could happen within that body, if you have given it permission to reorganise itself, to re-heal itself, to come back to a natural coherent state. It’s amazing and the body knows exactly what to do, I feel… we just got to get out of the way to allow it to help nurture itself. ~ Guy

Oh 100%, I’m glad you said that mate, cos it’s like I’m talking about vibrations and woo hoo and all this stuff but it’s like, it can be misconstrued often is that there’s tremendous benefit to dropping into all of this and I think often because we are so conditioned in our life to do things… do, do, do, do, do… and like if I’m not having the relationship or the success, or the life… or whatever it is that I want then I need to do something else or I need to do more. But we don’t actually address what’s happening internally. And that’s the beauty of this work, and I think it often gets washed out because of all the doing. ~ Matt

What a gorgeous interview with two sensitive, soulful, and caring men who are both passionate about teaching people how-to live-in flow. These special souls support us to go on a journey of healing, empowerment, and growth. They merge ancient wisdom and modern science to use the power of meditation, sound healing, breath-work, neuroscience, and many more tools and techniques to help you become the most empowered you. Their Live In Flow Retreats are quite literally changing lives.

More about Guy and Matt:

GUY LAWRENCE

In 2010 Guy co-founded health & wellness company 180 Nutrition. He has spent the last 15 years turning over every stone within the health industry to find out what actually truly makes us happy, healthy and strong and live a fulfilled life.

At the beginning of 2018, Guy stepped down from 180 Nutrition to start his new project Let It In.

–  Within 3 years, 180 Nutrition gained national media, became a multi-million dollar company and their podcast (with the same name) racked up over 2 million download over a 3 year period. This was achieved from making heart-based decisions (hint).

–  Spent 5 days at a blind-study meditation retreat and generated the same amount of electricity in his body than an electric eel (true story).

– Spent 5 days with Wim Hof (The Ice Man) exploring cold-exposure, breath work & meditation to explore and master your own bodies responses and mind.

–  Had his brain measured by neuroscientists and produced the same brain wave states of a buddhist monk of 40 years

MATT OMO

Matt is a leader of the sound healing movement in Australia with over 15 years experience working with a variety of sound healing techniques bridging cultures and traditions from around the world.

Over the last five years, the reach of Matt’s work has stretched across Australia and beyond benefiting thousands of people around the world. This is accomplished through workshops, speaking at health and wellness events and festivals, as well as leading sound journeys in corporate settings.

The work and awareness around sound healing and its benefits are growing every day. Matt is developing new programs and products to meet this need and continue to support people in discovering the benefits of the healing power of sound.

Their definition of Self Love is:

Matt – The more I explore it it’s an acceptance. To me self-love is embracing more and more aspects of myself.

Guy –The other word that comes to me is kindness and it really boils down to being kind to oneself and I think knowing that we are all doing our best with what we’ve got right now. It’s giving ourselves permission to truly feel.

But you can also be devoted to yourself, and this is discipline. If you are setting aside time to move your body, to eat nourishing amazing foods, to cook amazing food with your loved ones, to go out and have that coffee with your friends where you get to have that really connected catch up… this is discipline to your own health, your own mental health and your own cup, you are filling your cup up. And I think adding on that little bit of devotion, disciplined devotion, makes you want to do it even more, it makes the practice come easier. Well, I think discipline can have that connotation you are in trouble perhaps for some people, like when you were a kid you were disciplined, really rigid, no flexibility… but devotion feels loving and flexible. ~ Emma & Carla Papas

What an absolute delight to interview these two beautiful beings. Emma and Carla Papas are the Merrymaker Sisters, and they are quite literally changing the world as they themselves change. In this interview we hear their heartfelt and open viewpoints on their personal journey’s and how their business has literally grown up with them. They are talented, delightful, clever and beautiful souls who are living life out loud with infectious joy!

Here is a little info about these two special souls that they shared with me about their journey so far.

Yes! We are real-life sisters and no, our last name isn’t Merrymaker… it’s actually Papas.

No, we’re not twins, Emma is 2.5 years older than Carla.

Yes, we do fight occasionally, and yes we are actual best friends… and yes! We do work really well together.

Ok, glad we got that out of the way!

We started The Merrymaker Sisters as a hobby in 2013, it began as a blog to simply share our favourite healthy recipes, our thoughts on mindset, dieting, fitness and life in general.

If you’re wondering… Merrymaker means ‘to bring joy’ so that was always the mission (for us and for you).

One day while Carla was sick in bed getting over a botched up nose job (that’s a whole other story for another day) we came across the great philosophies of Joseph Campbell.

The term Follow Your Bliss stood out…

We realised The Merrymaker Sisters was our BLISS.

We understood that if we gave it more energy and attention it would only grow.

… the greater risk wasn’t to leave the ‘stable’ high paying Government jobs (we were on $80k each, pretty good for 22 and 24 year olds!)…

…the greater risk was staying in a mediocre job and ignoring our passion, our hearts and our bliss.

We both sent our resignation emails on the same day, at the exact same time and danced out of the office.

It’s been a wild ride since, filled with ups and downs, easy fun flowing moments to hard stressful days and a lot of WTAF moments.

From selling cakes, to creating recipe books, the #1 best -selling recipe app Get Merry, live meal plan challenges, podcasts and MORE.

We’ve created lots but what we’ve done from the very start is to stay true to our hearts (our bliss).

Through the empowering combination of Yoga, Pilates and Meditation, MerryBody will totally change the way you workout – AND how you feel about yourself.

100% online, on-demand, it puts you in complete control, letting you pursue your own personal idea of what it means to feel good, respect and care for yourself.

We spent years and years trying all the diets and spending hours in the gym. The goal to lose weight, to be smaller, to take up less space became our main goal in life (“lose 5 kilos” was always top of our NYE resolutions).

We didn’t care about health, we only cared about how many kilos we saw on the scales every morning.

This toxic way of living completely consumed our minds and left no space for magic.

The real toxicity came from our intentions and mindsets behind our ‘healthy‘ actions.

We dieted to lose weight because we never thought we were good enough.

We worked our butts off in the gym, because we didn’t accept what we saw in the mirror… or because of something we’d eaten prior to that moment.

But no matter how much weight we lost, then gained, then lost, then gained… we were never happy.

And not when we lost a specific number of kgs or fitted into that dress.

Yoga, Pilates and Meditation was the key to realising that right here, right now… we are absolutely, 100% enough (in fact… we are amazing… and you are too).

Our goal is simple, we want you to come on over to our site, read, watch, move with us, cook with us and feel more self-acceptance, self-respect and more joy.

To us, the most important thing is embracing and celebrating who we are – and we want you to do the same.

Always merrymaking, Emma and Carla

Their definition of Self Love is the practice of self-acceptance. It’s also self-respect and it’s kindness to yourself. It’s self-compassion, patience, honouring yourself, it’s giving yourself time to just be. It’s all of this and it’s so much more as well. It’s also about tuning in and speaking your truth, living your truth, it’s feeling what’s inside that you can express it. It’s giving yourself the time to do the things you love. It’s living how you want to live.

Their favourite quote is their mantra at the end of every class:

‘Always remember you are amazing just as you are right here and right now.’

And from Joseph Campbell:

“Follow your bliss and the Universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.”

This week’s podcast answers a question I received  on how essential oils help the mind, body and skin through massage? As you will discover the skin is an incredible organ, essential oils are antiseptic, antiviral and antibacterial and the daily use of applying these precious substances through the daily body boost ritual can powerfully affect the way we think and feel.

‘I think one of the key things that I learned along the journey into welcoming joy back in, was that it was a step-by-step process. It wasn’t a giant leap from where I found myself to, you know, the next day being that joyful mama again at all. It was letting myself have lots of grace. Grace for myself, grace for my children, grace for my friendships, grace for my husband and letting it really be a step by step, small mindful move towards welcoming that back in and letting it be a gradual process and not some big change.’ Naomi Jaques

Any mamas out there feeling more overwhelmed than filled with joy?

That’s exactly where Naomi Jaques found herself – as a mama at the time of three kids under 3yrs of age and feeling like she was merely surviving the days rather than thriving and finding joy in motherhood.

One evening as her family were watching old videos of when the kids were little she found herself laughing at just how cute they were, but then tears filled her eyes because she felt so exhausted and at this point in her life she felt like the person she was watching on the family videos felt like someone else. And she remembered back to that season of motherhood that she was also delighted about being a mama and cooking delicious food for her family but she wondered when the burden of motherhood had fallen on her shoulders and got in the way of her enjoying motherhood.

That’s where Mucho Mama was born – it was that night when she realised she wanted to chase down joy and get it back in my life and get her Mucho Mama back!

From taking better care of herself through to having family meetings each week to using rhythms and rituals Naomi has earned the title mucho mama! With an interview filled with tips and tricks on how to be the best mama you can be, you will hear how important it is to be mindfully aware of creating – and mastering – joy in all aspects as much as you can. She has taken these tools and strategies and created her Chasing Joy Masterclass.

Her definition of Self Love is actually two aspects. There is the overflow aspect which Naomi thinks self-love needs to come from a place of nurturing and taking care of yourself. But is also holding a belief that you were created to live a life of joy and not thinking that you should be living this life of overwhelm. If you are accepting the life of overwhelm that you are experiencing, thinking I just have to get through until it stops then that is not self-love. Self-love is saying I was created for a joy-filled life, and I am going to put out to the world that I want to receive that. And then trust that the people and the resources will come to me and that will allow that transformation to take place.

Her favourite quote is from Dolly Parton:

‘If you don’t like the road you’re walking start paving a new one.’

The post SLP 209: Welcoming Joy Back Into Motherhood with Naomi Jaques appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

One of my most favourite books I was ever given in the late 1990’s was a book called ‘The Invitation’ by Oriah Mountain Dreamer. It is a declaration of intent, a map into the longing of the soul. The poem is all about the desire to live passionately, face to face with ourselves and skin to skin with the world.

It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.

It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon.

I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, ‘Yes.’

It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.

I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

‘This is the challenge, but this is the practice and the first go-to is creating more space in between everything. Of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to get swept up in all of that, whether it’s happening on the outside of you or in thoughts or emotions on the inside of you, it’s a busy world inside and out. So, to create space for those higher ways of being, and those higher intentions to flourish and thrive from, without the space they just get squeezed out and we revert to our old habits and patterns and busyness and reactions. So, it’s about making space and it can be done in the simplest of ways.’ Erin Lee

Erin Lee qualified as a marine biologist which she loved and speaks very fondly of her time in that underwater world. But it wasn’t long after that her eyes were truly opened by yoga, which made her feel instantly like the sky was brighter. It was her love of nature and the deeper immersing of the ocean environment that formed the foundation of her love for yoga. In Erin’s opinion they have the same laws and connect to something deep within our souls to create more space.

This beautiful podcast dives deep into the power of breath, energy and yoga and what it means to connect within and create more space. We also talk about the sudden loss of Erin’s husband and father of her two girls and how yoga and breath supported her to a new place of understanding.

Erin Lee is the founder of The Mindful Yoga School, a yoga, mindfulness and meditation training centre based on the Sunshine Coast. She leads yoga teacher training and mediation & mindfulness teacher training programs, as well as other programs, classes and events.

You’ll also find her collaborating with many talented musicians on the Sunshine Coast at yoga-sound immersion events and featuring at some of Australia’s most prominent festivals such as Woodford Folk Festival, PranaFest and YogaFests.

Erin is also the author of the brand-new book, ‘The Little Book of Big Intentions’ – a divinely illustrated book that invites you to contemplate and embody 27 intentional qualities, for purposeful living. Her inspiration for the book landed after many years of sharing intention embodiment in her mindful yoga classes.

She’s also a mum to two teenage daughters, lives by the beach and finds joy in life’s simple pleasures!

Her definition of Self Love is when we can pair back the doing and rest in that place of simplicity and just being present. Where we can tap into love there. Self-love is like yoga – it is an inner journey first – it is inner housekeeping of the soul. Instead of it being about self-preservation space, but more a return to the love that connects us all. And connecting into the vibration of love. Doing it first in our body and mind and then be in selfless service of others.

Her favourite quote is from Mahatma Ghandi:

‘Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’

Let’s face it there are no rulebooks to download on the internet on How to Be a Perfect Person and Parent, or How to Perfectly Manage Guilt. Let’s face it, if you are a people-pleaser guilt can be especially difficult for you. Self-guilt can be paralysing if left unchecked. Research shows that we, collectively, spend on average up to five hours a week, at a minimum, in a state of guilt so here are a few tips on how to manage guilt.

Long-term self-guilt appears as an internal dialogue that leaves us feeling lonely and sad. Worst of all, it’s happening right there inside of us; right between our own two ears.

So, what to do with feelings of guilt or shame? When you explore your own self-guilt, I encourage you to look at it with an open heart and mind, and explore how this feeling can be turned around and made to work for you. Diving into the tools of the self-love circle in the book ‘The Art Of Self Love’, you’ll see how every experience and emotion is providing us with contrast and if we look, we can find the lesson it’s trying to teach us.

I often find myself questioning the gut reaction of guilt. You know, that feeling in the pit of your stomach that goes up into your heart. That feeling is often a good barometer to determine whether next time you could do something a little better, or to see if that guilt is being driven by your own response to someone else’s behaviour.
