Self Love Podcast

‘It is a value question. And we do find money for the things we value.  There’s no question about it. And you know as many, many years as a single mum with four kids we always at organic food. And I hear people say ‘but how did you afford that?’ Questioning that. And I said ‘well we bought all our clothes second hand in op shops and I drive an old car. The thing that I valued was the priority and I think that for the mothers that are listening they will know that if your child needs something, you find the money.’

Has hearing someone else’s story ever impacted you to such an extent that it changed your life? Edwina Murphy-Droomer had such a moment in 2018 when she travelled to the USA to attend a conference put on by her coach where she got to hear the stories of six women with phenomenal success in their business. A seed was planted and a year later her vision came true when she was invited to be on stage as one of the success stories. You will not want to miss this podcast.

Edwina originally trained in health and wellness and wanted to share her knowledge as a practitioner and health coach. It was a naturopath who helped to change the course of Edwina’s life when she was young. This pivotal moment set her on the path to become a Naturopath and she also completed Cyndi O’Meara’s Nutrition Academy program. She knew she wanted to empower women to take care of their own health and make their wellbeing a priority.

As you will hear in this interview Edwina also noticed she had always relied on other people’s opinions and insights to make big decisions. It was realising the call to be an entrepreneur herself, to do the thing she wanted most, that became a decision that took her to that conference in the USA and has been part of her success formula ever since.

Edwina has a deep understanding of what it means to truly BLOSSOM. Like many women, Edwina’s metamorphosis sprung from her darkest hour as suddenly single, broke mother with four children, to leading a full-colour life of love, prosperity and freedom.

Edwina is a powerhouse in the fields of vision building and transformation. She has supported thousands of women to create an exciting vision for the life they want to live and then provides the support and accountability to bring that vision to life.

Her own vision was huge. And to be an entrepreneur it is almost like you ‘can’t NOT’ chase your dream and do it! Being so driven and wanting to teach about nutrition and food, using the power of transformation was the starting driver, and this has grown into sharing wisdom and women’s stories. It is the vision and desire to do the things she wants to do and it being so strong that pulls her forward.

She believes that finding your passion in being in service of others and knowing how you can pass that wisdom onto other people it what can become addictive. Making a difference in people’s lives literally becomes an addiction.

Edwina has always made a difference by following her heart, and she has chosen to do the things she needs to, to make those big dreams come true.

Sitting in that audience in the USA listening to the phenomenal female entrepreneurs at that conference share their very real stories was what sparked her desire to launch something quite extraordinary herself.

She believes many women have accumulated knowledge throughout their lives. And she decided to launch the Phenomenal Feminine Entrepreneurs Summit. She had to find 21 women to share their stories. She wanted to gather these women across the world and share their stories all of which have turned out so powerful, inspiring and full of wisdom.

Anyone who listens to the interviews of this Phenomenal Feminine Entrepreneurs Summit and reads the book will experience something very unique and you will get a sense you feel a part of every story. She wants to plant the seeds of possibility into the hearts and minds of all women on the planet through these interviews.

Lovely Edwina also shares what things would mean a rich and prosperous life to her and hopes to ignite you to ask the question of yourself.

Her definition of self-love is, One of my values is responsibility. And personal responsibility, I am 100% responsible for myself, my health, my happiness. Self-love is an act of responsibility to me being the best version of myself.

Her one message of advice is that you are enough right now in this very moment. You are perfect you are beautiful. If you don’t love your life, it’s time to sit down and create a vision of what you would like your life to be. Start with yourself. Note how you are feeling. Plant your feet on the grass, look up at the sky and breathe in what mother nature has provided. Put a high vibration into your body. Listening to things that lift your vibration and create a vision for the life you want to be living.

Favourite quote is by Edwina in her book:

The truth is, your beliefs are either a ball and chain around your ankles or the seeds that bloom into a beautiful life.

The post SLP 105: Phenomenal Feminine Entrepreneurs with Edwina Murphy-Droomer appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

It’s so important to take time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, no matter how little or small they might seem. The big monumental ones are not the only ones worth recognising. Life is a constant journey and all about what happens in between the big wins and although you have probably heard it all before, we all know, it is about the journey not just the destination.

Take a moment to realise over these cooler months that the more you celebrate your little wins, the more you get to see how much there is to be grateful for. And being grateful nurtures the neurological, mental, emotional and spiritual self. So why not…

~ Give yourself 2 minutes and body boost every morning using your favourite body boost blend

~ Turn on your Diffuser and give thanks to one simple thing you have in your life as you do it

~ Take an Aroma Mist with you in your hand bag or car and on the hour every hour stand, stretch, spritz and smile

~ Use a nourishing Face Serum every day through the colder months, say something beautiful to yourself as you do

~ Inhale your favourite essential oil slowly and make a wish

~ Give yourself a face mask and for 10 minutes do nothing but acknowledge all the little things you do well

And remember no matter how big or small:

– Your work will never be done

So take a deep breath, be grateful for what you DO have and always celebrate your little WINS!

The post SLP 104: Self Love Quicky – Celebrate the little Wins over Winter appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

‘The way I’m feeling now, I’m not feeling any better whatsoever, something has to change, something hasn’t changed. I’m not saying I’m going to disregard the grieving period of course, that’s an infinite time frame, there’s no real time frame for that. But what I knew was I had to get some goals in place. I had to get some plans. I had to get an action plan. I needed to get some routine and some rituals back into place immediately. I needed to just get back into the gym. I needed to get back eating, doing all the things I was doing prior that got me to a position where it just got me through the day. I needed to go back and simplify my life Kim.’

The impact of losing his brother and two close clients within a short period of time was so great that Leon has dedicated his life to suicide prevention. After his brother’s death nine years ago, Leon found himself at a crossroads with his own mental health. He has since become an advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention and actively coaches, counsels and inspires others through his business Body By Leon. A beautiful podcast with an extraordinary soul.

Leon Stensholm started body building in 2001 after suffering a number of injuries that would end his promising soccer career. It quickly transpired that what Leon lacked in muscle, was made up for in spades by the sheer grit and determination he focussed on his new sport.

Committed to natural body building Leon has now been participating in the sport for the past 18 years with multiple Australian and Australasia titles to his name. During this time, he has competed over 65 times, coached hundreds of clients with over 100 first places and multiple pro cards awarded.

Six years ago, following the suicide of his best mate and brother Dean, Leon decided to pursue his dreams and founded Bodybyleon Coaching and Personal Training. So committed to helping people to totally transform their body and mind Leon has also completed a Diploma in Counselling and written his first book, ‘It`s how you think’.

Leon operates from his gym where he trains, mentors and coaches’ clients, in one on one sessions that are individually designed for each client and completely private.

These closed training sessions are perfect for sports athletes and clients with public profiles seeking privacy and confidentiality when working out. Leon works with a wide range of clients, all with their own unique goals, from professional athletes to everyday people looking to achieve their personal health goals. Leon is particularly passionate about working with those who suffer from mental health concerns and gives his time freely to work in the community on suicide prevention, as part of The Alliance for suicide Prevention.

In order to get the best out of people Leon uses cognitive behavioural therapy methods and provides a framework in which they can work towards achieving goals and transform their life.

Leon is a passionate, energetic speaker whose enthusiasm and love for life is incredibly contagious. He engages and connects easily with all types of people and leaves his audiences energised and motivated.

In this podcast we talk about the importance of moving. There is no happiness coming your way without movement. This is where we release dopamine and endorphins. There is a power in exercising post grieving. It is about getting routine in place.

Suicide is happening everywhere. It’s up 9% on the Sunshine Coast. I need to stand up but I need to be stronger. Leon has leanred that being vulnerable is like going to confession, it’s super powerful. And we have to remember when your glass is full you have endless energy to give.

Reach out and have the conversation.

Definition of self-love is that you cannot love anyone much if you don’t love yourself first. I’m big on the analogy of mask on plane. Invest in yourself first and foremost. Do my gratitude, meditation, write in journal, my music… I do it every single day. It provides endless love for me to give to others. When you fill your glass up so strong and it’s over-flowing you then have endless love to give.

Leon shares his love of music and Stephen Bradbury who wrote the fore-word to his book.

Leon’s favourite quote is:

Be kind – it’s free

Final message – remember things get better, it might sound cliché but they do with the required help and support. Just please reach out. Faith has that ability to know everything will be ok. Faith is free and the one thing you can hang on to. And it’s going to be ok.

The post SLP 103: Rituals and Routines for Mental Health with Leon Stensholm appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

For many, this crazy time we find ourselves in; the lock downs, isolation and separation, is the realisation that it could be our way for some time yet. Perhaps now more than ever is a time to focus on the positives that remain, a time to go within and take some time to invest into your precious self. It is also a chance for gratitude and transformation, the possible discovery for higher potential. It can also be a chance to take a moment to be grateful for all that you have and all that you are.

A fresh perspective also gives an opportunity to create new dreams. It could be a physical transformation like a room makeover. Or it could be a planned dream holiday – maybe in five years time! It could be a weight-loss or body transformation. Or it could be a goal to start a new course of study, a family or that new business you’ve been thinking about.

Whatever you wish for as the rest of this year or as the pandemic unfolds, it’s a treat to know we have a special tool up our sleeve in the form of essential oils. These beautiful gifts from nature can help to bring a beautiful sense of calm and balance, inspiration and motivation.

One thing to keep in mind no matter what, is not everything is cancelled.

Sunshine is not cancelled

Spring is not cancelled

Love is not cancelled

Relationships are not cancelled

Reading is not cancelled

Naps are not cancelled

Devotion is not cancelled

Music is not cancelled

Dancing is not cancelled

Imagination is not cancelled

Kindness is not cancelled

Conversation are not cancelled

Hope is not cancelled.

I feel honoured to share two very special blends that I created around the power of gratitude and transformation. These blends have been designed for your diffuser. When it comes to choosing your own essential oils to express your gratitude and create change you could look at the following oil combinations as a guide and then feel free to experiment and create the blend that is right for you.

Gratitude Blend

Bergamot – 2 drops

Sandalwood – 2 drops

Grapefruit – 3 drops

Ylang Ylang – 1 drop

Pine – 2 drops

Bergamot is a light, sweet, citrusy oil that is uplifting, refreshing and a wonderful joy enhancer; Sandalwood, a beautiful woody oil that is incredibly grounding and calming with empowering and strengthening qualities; Ylang Ylang is an intoxicating oil that you only need a few drops to make a big impact, it is calming and relaxing, tranquillising and very sensual; Grapefruit is the oil for positivity, focus, clarity and trust; and Pine is for increased confidence, inspiration, stronger intuition and for enhanced worthiness.

Remember gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

If it is transformation you are seeking then here is a wonderful combination of oils that could help you transition and grow into a better, stronger and even more capable soul.

Transformation Blend

Frankincense – 2 drops

Orange – 3 drops

Lemongrass – 1 drop

Thyme – 2 drops

Geranium – 2 drops

Frankincense is the oil to help enhance your sense of faith, increase your clarity and bring wisdom, peace, enlightenment and protection; Orange is uplifting and radiating, it is the ideal oil for celebration and a very happy oil to round your blend; Lemongrass is for endurance, enthusiasm, vitality and energy, it is refreshing and cleansing; Thyme is energizing and healing, it is the oil for warmth, adaptability, clarity and focus; and Geranium is the best oil for change, transitioning, harmony, balance and a enhancing a strong sense of calm.

Remember you and I possess within ourselves – at every moment of our lives, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of our lives. Knowing that, is what the work is all about.

You can also use these oils or combination of oils in a spritzer bottle, massage blend, body boost blend, inhalation and bath too. But my favourite is the Diffuser!

You can purchase these oils from the amazing Twenty8 right here  and don’t forget your Self Love Podcast discount code below.

The post SLP 102: Self Love Quicky – Essential Oils for Gratitude & Transformation appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

‘By standing in front of a group of people and sharing your story and being vulnerable to that audience, it kind of leads to fulfilling my mission which is around creating awareness and education around mental health and wellbeing which is the first part. The second part is about inspiring conversations because it’s really important as blokes, but as communities, everybody in general, not just blokes, you know females as well. We all need to talk about this and not be scared to talk about our emotions, our feelings and how we are travelling. And then the third part of my mission is to enable and empower people to seek help in a safe environment that’s free from stigma.’  Warren Davies

Warren Davies is not your typical farmer! Or your typical man for that matter! At one point Warren was actually on the brink, someone who had hit rock bottom and was seriously questioning what life was all about. Thanks to what he calls his ‘two feet of perspective’ he chose to crawl up, out, over and through this moment and then a ‘chance’ invitation to unpack his story he learned he had something worth sharing and an ability to make a difference in the lives of others.

Resilience, Persistence and Determination are some words to describe Warren Davies.

Born and bred in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Warren was the son of small-business owners.

A leader throughout his Primary School years, this confidence was eroded once entering Secondary School, where he was subjected to bullying and not fitting in. His academic achievement began a downward spiral. This is where his skill of Resilience was developed a skill that would be called upon time and time again in future years.

In 1982 His family made the massive decision to move to the country and pursue his father’s dream of becoming a farmer. This gave Warren an opportunity to reinvent himself. A direction, a career path: he was going to be a Farmer!

Mentored by one of the best farmers in the district, Warren honed his skills and, by the age of 22, he had purchased his first farm.

The next sixteen years were to be defining years for him.

The harsh reality of being a farmer soon became evident: high interest rates, low commodity prices, flood and drought; all having an impact, but most significantly, was that on his mental health. These events all tested his Resilience, Persistence and Determination and had a massive impact on his young family, relationships and finances all culminating with the decision to basically having to walk off the farm.

Although with his skills, work was easy to find, managing large scale operations from Victoria to South Australia, it wasn’t the same, he couldn’t settle, he assumed that he had lost his identity because not only was the farm his career, it was his home, his life! In his eyes he had failed and carried the guilt of failing as a husband and father.

Being an avid reader of books, he searched for a better way, he began the journey of piecing back together his life, but the road has been long.

Now as a Keynote speaker, Facilitator and Mental Health advocate, Warren imparts his life lessons and pays forward his unique stories, their moral relevant to all ages, from the country to the city, a farmer or the CEO of a large corporation.

His message is simple and so very important at a time when stress is seen as normal, and depression is commonplace. Warren will change the thinking and behaviour of your most precious resource, your family, your people.

The key messages you will get from this podcast are:

• Resilience, Persistence and Determination

Apart from speaking, Warren is a Husband, Father of 5, Son, Brother, Mate and normal bloke down the road, involved in his community as President of Kyabram P12 College, local football, netball club and mentor’s youth in the Mates program.

Warren is also proudly an Ambassador at Cottage By The Sea at Queenscliff a children’s charity offering camps and support for kids doing it tough from all over  Australia while providing Inspiration, Fun and Opportunity in a safe and healthy  environment.

You must hear this story. And share it with all you know who may be struggling or in need of help. Warren gives his tips and ideas on how to support someone you love.

We talk about covid and the impact on mental health and the need to stay connected. Warren suggests no matter what if you approach someone from the heart with no ulterior motive, if you stay connected, keep checking in and earn their trust and show your love and support you will help someone through their mental health challenges.

You will love it. And you will realise there is more to this farmer than meets the eye.

Please note of you need help you can reach out to the following numbers:

LIFELINE – 131114

BEYOND BLUE – 1300 22 4636

Warren’s definition of Self-Love is really becoming comfortable with who you are and accepting who you are. If there are parts of you that need working on like your mental health, you need to identify that. It could be your mental, physical, financial, social and relationship parts.

3 Lessons from Warren

1. Keep communicating

Warren’s favourite quote is from Brene Brown:

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

The post SLP 101: Unpacking Your Story with The Unbreakable Farmer aka Warren Davies appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

Today we celebrate 100 shows on the Self Love Podcast and I cannot thank you enough for being a part of the ride. After almost 7 years of podcasting and almost 400 shows with the beautiful Carren Smith and Cyndi O’Meara on the Up For A Chat show it brings me huge pleasure to share this milestone with you.

I know self-love may seem the strangest of topics or discussions to want to follow. But it is my experience and in writing The Art Of Self Love book that without a healthy amount of self-regard, self-care and mostly self-love, then we are missing out on the greatest reservoir of inner resources available to human kind.

I love this quote by Rajneesh.

Celebration is without any cause. Celebration is simply because we are. We are made out of the stuff called celebration.That’s our natural state – to celebrate – as natural as it is for the trees to bloom, for birds to sing, for rivers to flow to the ocean. Celebration is a natural state.

Today I celebrate the show and I celebrate you. We may only get around 5,000 downloads but it is each one of you that makes this show special. My greatest wish is that it speaks to those of you who listen and it is relative enough for you to want to share it with those you thin could benefit too.

One of my greatest passions is interviewing people, sharing their incredible stories and understanding what they have within them, what they do to get up, over, out and through the challenges in life and how they continue to show up for themselves and others. To me this is the real juice of life, the real magic. And thanks to Twenty8 Essentials and The Wellness Couch I get to share this with YOU!

One of the greatest ways to understand the impact of a little show like this is to understand the Law of Precession.

The law states that the Sun and the Earth are both bodies in motion. Despite the 180 degree gravitational pull of the in-motion Sun upon the in-motion Earth, precession makes Earth orbit around the Sun in a direction that is at ninety degrees- i.e., at a right angle-to the direction of the Sun’s gravitational pull.

Similarly, if we drop a stone into water, we get the ripples going out at ninety degree’s to the direction of the dropped stone.

This is better described by Dr Buckminster Fuller and one of his favourite stories regarding precession was the story of the honey-bee. Seemingly inadvertently, the honey-bee goes about his business of gathering honey. Precessionally, at ninety degree’s to his body and his flight path, his legs gather pollen from one flower and “accidentally “ take this pollen to the next flower, resulting in cross pollination. The outcome of this seemingly inadvertent accidental activity is that the bee contributes enormously to life on earth. Of the 100 crop species that provide 90 per cent of the world’s food, over 70 are pollinated by bees.

Back to the Law of Precession, it simply states that for every action we take, there will be a side effect. We don’t know what the side effect will be, just like the honeybee doesn’t know the side effect of making honey, but there’s always a side effect. Every cause has an effect.

Bucky’s favorite example of defining precession is that of the honeybee above. You know what the honeybee is, but you may not know that honeybees are vital to many ecosystems on earth. If they ever become extinct, humankind would soon follow.

The purpose of the honeybee is cross-pollination and the sustenance of life on earth. The honeybee doesn’t know that, but the universal purpose of the honeybee is cross-pollination. All the honeybee knows is they are making honey, but as a result, they make more flowers at the same time.

Do you think they know their true purpose and do you think that they are driven to save the world by making honey? I don’t think so. They are only drawn towards making the honey and going back to the hive, but as they move from flower to flower, their body and their legs accidentally gather pollen, which then results in cross-pollination and fertilization of more flowers.

So the question I ask in this week’s podcast is what is your true purpose?

I ask myself what is the purpose of the Self Love Podcast? And to be honest my purpose is to share remarkable stories, people, oils, tips and ideas around taking care of the most important asset you have and that is your health and a purposeful life for YOU!

I hope you’re enjoying the ride as much as I am. High fives to us!

The post SLP 100: Self Love Quicky – Celebrate The Law Of Precession appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

“I think in a way it is, it’s not being afraid to bring out who you really want to be. And what you really need to share. Because we’re scared of judgement and a lot of times we are going to be judged by other people. And we take that extremely personally. It’s not exactly about us. It’s more about that other person because they’re projecting their own judgement onto you. But I think a lot of the time it’s fear of judgement. And it probably links back to what we were just talking about in that, that locks us up and it stops us from being or acting how we truly want to be.”

If life is challenging, know that it is not unusual. Everyone goes through challenges. Even if it is unravelling in front of you, the point of Chris Jordan’s work is to see if you can get curious about what is happening and what it is there to teach you. Chris says don’t be afraid to be you, dont be afraid that you wont come out the other side because you will. One of the big questions we investigate is ‘How can we understand true happiness when we don’t choose to understand true sadness?’ You are going to love this conversation with one of the world’s most precious and clever souls.

Whatever we go through without undermining the challenge or pain, it is indeed purely a perception of what you are going through.

Chris shares a story about how the work he does helped a client who was carrying a lot of guilt over a lot of years. There was an unconscious part of him that he did not feel he had any control over. He procrastinated and was not present with himself or others. This guilt was almost a sign of punishment, yet he was not aware of it at all.

One event made his life take a strange turn. An event that occurred many years ago kept snowballing and attracting more of the same. It was only through hypnotherapy and different processes this guilt was let go of which was hugely profound.

Chris loves to see how the unconscious mind is running and how we can shift things at an unconscious level, as this is where he believes the magic of change really occurs.

Chris also believes it is important to have awareness outside of your sphere. The power of a coach is where people get to take their life to a whole new level. And to understand this we just need to see a little more about this special man.

At 27 he turned his life around and truly became alive.

He now works with individuals and couples to create a better understanding with themselves. Bringing awareness to their own unique process and what’s trying to unfold. Through extensive training in hypnosis and other psychotherapy and working with clients on many different levels he helps people to feel free, break through the illusion of being stuck and get out of their own way. Allowing them to do what they are truly here to do.

A father of five amazing children and a multiple business owner he has worked through his own process and education and realised very strongly that our external circumstances do not determine how you feel or who you are. It’s your relationship with self that allows you to get the most out of life. Everyone deserves to know and experience that inner knowing, that powerful feeling!

Chris talks in this interview about the sadness these days of going through challenge and not having enough wiser, older more understanding souls to turn to. He believes we have lost the elders and tribal way of living where we naturally had mentors to give us new perspective, love and understanding.

To grow, he believes it is great to introduce something new. And a Coach can bring new awareness that is outside the field, allowing you to stretch your thinking that maybe you hadn’t considered before.

We talk in-depth about the schooling system. Money, relationships, mindset, spirituality and our innermost self and what things are quite possibly missing.

But Chris believes our schools are there to educate us, to enable us to be academic to learn to read and write to get a certain perspective on the world, practical skills. He thinks the parents are so so important in being the coach for their children. He talks about 30 kids to one teacher. It’s not really a scenario where you can have those unique conversations. He believes it needs to happen more at home.

It’s not always clear what is right or wrong for each person. We grow through school and challenge so profoundly. You get an education and then it is up to you what to do with it.

Most of the time we discover it is not about outside influences or occurrences but more so the inner knowing, how we are unconsciously processing them and then consciously allowing our inner resources to be accessed. Letting go of negative emotions from the past like guilt, shame, fear, sadness, conflict, anger and hurt can all block the ability to heal and move forward.

We talked about Danny being a part of the Portraits of Mankind and how tough it is for men to speak up and not have to tough it out. This highlights the importance of vulnerability and how to get out of our own way. https://www.thealliance.org.au/get-invloved/portraits-of-mankind/

Chris believes it is about not being afraid to be you. If you are bottling things up, suffering, (or even not suffering if suppressing your happiness when others are) it’s important to be yourself. When we suppress whether good or bad, shit starts to get real.

He mentions the movie ‘In Pursuit Of Happiness’ and recommends we do not marginalise or judge ourselves for whatever point we are at. It is part of the process and not just a destination. Life is powerful because of ALL parts of life.

How can we understand true happiness when we don’t understand true sadness? Gratitude is one of the most powerful emotions we can have. If you have had one setback after another and it feels uncomfortable, the greater the struggle the greater your happiness and positive emotion is on the other side.

Chris shares his thoughts around mental health and suicide especially for men. The Aussie culture of just suck it up and the tall poppy syndrome is compounded with the fact men do not talk as much or are as social. A lot of men do not talk about their innermost feelings as much as they could, or maybe, should. We talk about how to guide the people you love when you want to reach out and help if they are struggling.

Chris’s definition of Self Love is: Acceptance. It’s about accepting who you are. Accepting what’s happened to you and your processes. Not marginalising it or judging yourself but saying hey, this is it, this is who I am, this is who I am in this moment at least. We are always evolving and accepting where you are at, what you have done or haven’t done. Knowing that we are all flawed in some areas and you may never fully have it all together. Allow yourself ot be present in moments. There is more in it for you than you think. Life isn’t about getting it all right, it’s an experience. It’s all about acceptance.

We talk about Chris’s role as a father of 5 kids and what it means to him to be a dad. How he has navigated the split with his first partner and mother of 3 children. He said it may not be the scenario you’d want but its amazing. He loves what he learns from his kids.

The roles that we parent’s play is so hugely important. He is a very involved father.

His advice to his kids would be to live your life! To know yourself, understand yourself but don’t take it too seriously either.

Favourite quote is: Eckhardt Tole

‘Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be.’

The post SLP 99: Don’t Be Afraid To Be You with Chris Jordan appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

It might be easy to say you have a ‘good’ business, but there are practices that can make you say you have an ‘amazing’ business.  These 5 simple but powerful cornerstones may be a great reminder through the challenges and also why you got into business in the first place . To know that 60% of all businesses stop their operation within the first three years speaks volumes of how challenging being in business is. If you know someone in a small business give them a shout out and let them know you care!

1. Have fun

Being in business is not always easy. Some days it can be down right challenging. Creating fun, or making sure you do something fun, especially when it is tough, is a sane way to stay on track and hold onto the reasons why you do what you do.

2. Passion and integrity

Living your passion is actually a dream come true, yet it is denied to so many. If you stay connected to the original reason you started your business you will realize how blessed you are. It is this deep passion that will carry you through the challenges and keep you humble with the wins. Integrity feeds this passion. It’s about how you feel about yourself, how you portray yourself to the world. It means staying true to your word, sharing your values openly and honestly. It’s being able to go to bed at night knowing that although you might not be perfect, you might make mistakes and you might struggle, that you have given your heart and soul to the business and everyone involved in it.

3. Your team is your greatest asset

A happy team means happy customers, which means a happy environment, and a happy business. Your team is a reflection of you and if they believe in your why, in your vision, mission, purpose and core values, and they are happy, they will represent you in the most profound and powerful way. They will be there for you when the chips are down, they will rise above when least expected and they will make you laugh. Even better, they support you to do well. And when you are doing well they are doing even better.

4. Love your customers

I remember hearing a well-known author say she was indebted to every single person who bought her book. She said she always makes an effort to speak to anyone that she signs a copy for, because it is thanks to them that she has a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world. I love it. Your customers are gold. Taking a moment to speak to them personally, staying in touch with them regularly and sharing a little bit of you makes them feel like they are friends or indeed part of your family.

5. Share yourself

The more you give the more you receive.  Share your knowledge, ideas, formulas, successes, failures… share all you can and feel the energy you receive. Sharing is one of the most likeable attributes I see in business. When we come from a place of creation and not competition everyone succeeds.

THANKYOU to everyone of you who support me here in this podcast, in my Twenty8 business or in my Kim Morrison Mentorship training and coaching. It is an absolute honour to walk this path with you.

The post SLP 98: Self Love Quicky – 5 Cornerstones To A Great Business appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

“People will gravitate towards things at different times. Depending on when it’s relevant for them, so I do believe that your community, or your tribe or supporters will find you, and support you and that’s important. And I also think it’s really, really important to constantly be giving back. And so, I guess that’s why I love what I do with SHINE business-women. It’s not technically a not-for-profit organisation but literally everything we do we just aim to draw even because it’s all a case of ‘let’s give back, let’s contribute and let’s help others rise’, because I’m a firm believer if you help others to rise, well then you will rise as a result, you will benefit from that, you will develop those friendships and relationships and they’re so important.”  Zoë Sparks

The last 18 months has been undeniably tough for this super star travel agent and event organiser. Who would have thought the world would be brought to its knees in such a difficult way. And every time there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, it’s devastatingly clear it’s not and the whole industry is catapulted back to ground zero. Zoë Sparks, travel agent and event organiser, talks about the importance of community, tribe and the power of helping others as well as asking for help if needed.

Zoë Sparks has owned her award-winning travel, conference and event management company – Spectacular Events Pty Ltd – for the past twenty-three years.  Spectacular Events delivers conferences, events, expos and exhibitions for up to 1000 attendees at any one time and also offers group travel packages and options for schools, clubs and major events.

Zoë describes how her industry may not recover from this for a very long time, if at all, and the world may never be the same. . Zoë does not believe we will be freely able to travel again until at least 2024. She believes travel will come down to a vaccination passport or sacrifice travelling all together even though she also believes there should also be freedom for all.

We have never had our hands so tied before and not been told we cannot do things. It’s a big challenge for so many.

It is a global world where we perhaps took travel for granted. We used to be able to just jump on a plane and within 24hours you could almost be on the other side of the world.

Zoë believes there are two views where many are up for getting up and getting on and there’s another group who are fearful of what could happen and believe border closures are the best way to beat this. And she says maybe both sides are right.

We delve into parenthood and how this pandemic has affected our younger generation especially those who were celebrating final years of school or Uni.

Recognised twice as a QLD Telstra ‘Business Woman of the Year’ finalist and also a winner of Sunshine Coast Outstanding Business Woman of the Year, Zoë has a proven track record for success and achievement. Zoë’s experience in small business is not only as a business owner but also as a franchisee, Board and committee member (companies and not-for-profit organisations) and volunteer.

Zoë is passionate about ‘women in business’ and reward and recognition which has led to her authoring three small business books sharing the tips and tricks she has learnt over the years, plus two books that feature the stories of women in business – SHINE’ing the Spotlight and SHINE’ing the Spotlight… The Journey Continues. The launch of SHINE’ing the Spotlight … UNLEASHED the podcast last year was also an instant success.

Zoë has pivoted in many directions and as an award winning business owner, entrepreneur and leader, she has a huge love around celebrating women and supporting all women in business.

Zoë is the founder of SHINE Business Women which was launched in early 2018 and is making a huge impact in the area of professional and personal development for women in business.

Zoe shared that not only are we worried about our business and jobs but women are also home schooling and supporting partners who were also working from home. Supporting everyone else meant many felt worn out, burnt out and exhausted mentally and emotionally. Social media means we see others succeeding and doing well. It is hard not to compare oneself and feel more broken than ever before.

This is where self-care is so important. Even something little to top one’s tank.

We talk about the lipstick indicator, sometimes called the lipstick effect, which is an economic indicator that suggests an increase in sales of small luxuries such as lipstick can indicate an oncoming recession or period of diminished consumer confidence.

Zoë talks about how she has had to be brave and also honest. That some days, even though she is mentoring others and supporting other people to keep going, there are some days where she is really struggling.

Since the pandemic she has put more energy into her SHINE business group and even decided to start a business hamper business. She describes how to stay buoyant and keep afloat through these tough times. She encourages you to keep doing things that make you reach out and keep connecting with others. Do not become a recluse, be prepared to ask for help and pursue what you love.

She has worked hard at building a profile to grow her business. You have to brave to put yourself forward. And then sometimes there are expectations from others where they think you are doing well. But as Zoë describes she too goes through the challenges. She believes it is about putting yourself out there, not worrying about the consequences and give anything a shot!

Keep growing and looking for opportunities she says. Do not be so worried about other’s perceptions and most certainly do not take it personally if it is not in congruence with your actions and beliefs. And constantly look at ways to give back.

Zoë talks about her SHINE business which stands for Supporting, Helping, Inspiring, Nurturing and Empowering women from all walks of life. She has a SHINE Podcast and a Shining the Light spotlight on women in the group. It is a way of connecting and bringing women together. Check out the links below to join and be a part of this beautiful community.

There are a lot of people who need help through these times and Zoë is always looking for ways to contribute and do things for others whilst bringing together a community, telling their stories and allowing everyone to meet like-minded people.

Zoë’s definition of Self Love is ‘I think self-love and self-care is doing things for yourself, even if it’s something small every day and looking at what you can fit in. I know I go through different stages of eating well, exercising and then there are times when I am flat tack and don’t have as much time.’

Zoë loves real books, pampering herself and taking time out. As she is getting older it is really about focusing on going out and having a healthy walk in the morning as it allows you to get clear and focused. She loves to write and read and channels herself in that direction to get away from the work buzz to relax and breathe and enjoy that quiet time.

She says it’s important to appeal to your senses with your Aroma Mists, a cup of tea and a good book!

Zoë talks openly about married life and raising her two boys. She knows she is very independent and has raised them to be independent. She has remarried and talks about the challenges as things have changed. She is proud of each of her boy’s qualities. Lovely traits you hope your son will have but she loves how they have a lovely gentle side too and a kind heart. A close bond is so important to her. Her two boys are her biggest achievement, and she could not be more proud.

She says it is important to follow your dreams and what’s more important is that you take action. Write your goals and dreams down. Taking little steps towards making it happen.

Focus on things, believe in yourself and channel for it to come true. Yes, there will be obstacles but it’s important to make the best of every situation.

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and give things a go.

Favourite quote is: If you always do what you’ve always done, you will always get what you’ve always got.

We are here to live an amazing life and sometimes we have to push ourselves. Change is scary but it’s also great. This will help you to expand, grow and learn and to leave a legacy.

Zoë has a business trilogy of books and two others available on her website below:

Strive and Thrive

Healthy and Wealthy

Award and Reward

Shining the Spotlight

The post SLP 97: Let’s Rise, Contribute and Help Others with Zoë Sparks appeared first on The Wellness Couch.

In every meaningful relationship whether it is with family, children, friends, lovers, co-workers, or neighbours, there will be great times but also the times when things are not so great. Precious relationships are worth holding on to and they require work on all levels. Everyone at some point will find themselves saying sorry or needing to find ways to forgive and move on. That is of course, only if you really want the ‘meaningful’ side of relationships.

Why is it then so many struggle with apologising and forgiving? Perhaps it is ego. In any conflict situation you can be sorry for the outcome or the pain it has caused. Saying sorry from this angle can be incredibly relieving for all parties concerned. Not saying sorry is not about winning. Often the winner is the one who can say sorry.  We have a ‘sorry ritual’ in our house. If someone does something wrong or hurtful to someone else part of the consequence is what we call a ‘full apology’. It goes something like this:

‘I, Kim Morrison, apologise to you, Daniel Kyle Morrison, for putting you down thinking you should know where the keys to the car were! I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings even though we found them in your jacket pocket! No matter what I am sorry and I love you.’ Ha!! In all seriousness the point is they have to say their full name and the person’s full name, they must say what they are sorry for and what it created, and they must always finish by saying ‘and I love you’. It certainly gets the kids thinking twice knowing they have to do the full apology! Hopefully it is also teaching them that it is a wonderful skill to have the courage to apologise. And don’t think this is just for the kids. Our whole family has to live by the full apology ritual!  And our two beautiful children remind us often!

Saying sorry to yourself is another important component of self-care and perhaps the same ritual should be taken on when you knock or hurt yourself. So often we say mean things to the reflection in the mirror, or constantly berate ourselves for not being good enough. Saying sorry as if you are apologizing to someone else but actually putting your full name in there would be a wonderful ritual as well.

‘Never does the human soul appear so strong as when it foregoes revenge, and dares forgive an injury.’ E H Chapin

Forgiveness is the other vital ingredient to any good relationship. Learning to forgive and asking forgiveness is what allows love to truly flow into your relationships and part of that is also learning to forgive ourselves.  Holding onto guilt, anger or resentment does not serve us in any way. In fact it just blocks us from receiving love. Understanding that we are all human and we do all make mistakes, allows us to realise that we are all learning, and when you learn you naturally make mistakes along the way.

‘Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.’  Paul Boese

When you forgive you let go of the anger and hate and you see it for what it really is — someone (or you!) just mucked up, whether intentional or not! And that muck up, big or small has created a problem that can now only be resolved by forgiveness.  By remembering the misdeeds of others or ourselves we live in a critical and judgemental mindset. Through forgiveness comes freedom for all, and that lifts a heavy weight off your own shoulders.

‘Forgiveness is the scent the violet emits onto the heel that crushed it.’  Anon

I love this quote. It is stunning and so true. There are times in life where hurts are done that will change relationship forever. Just because you forgive doesn’t mean you will have a close relationship with that person anymore, and you may never be able to forget the hurt that was felt at that time. Yet you can let go of the resentment and anger towards that person, and let it turn to pity as you see their hurtful ways as a reflection of just how lost they are. In the amazing book called The Shack , by William.P.Young, he says “Forgiveness is not forgetting but being able to take your hands off the throat of that person”.  So true.

Forgiveness frees you. It allows joy back into your life. Letting go of resentment affects every area of your life, especially your health. Life is too short to live with hurts and anger — let it go and set yourself free.

‘To forgive is to set a prisoner free, and discover that the prisoner was you.’ Lewis.B.Smedes

It is easy to create happy and celebratory rituals but creating apology and forgiveness rituals are just as important, maybe even more so, especially when it comes to our own health and mental well being. Give it a try!
