March 18 SLP 563: Self Love Quicky - The Power of Connection
In this weeks Quicky Kim explores the power of self-love, connection and the strength of women supporting one another. It’s a reminder that the most important leadership role we will ever have is the leadership of ourselves.
When women honour their bodies, trust their intuition, and care for their mind, heart, and spirit, they begin to lead from alignment rather than exhaustion and compassion rather than comparison. The episode also highlights the sacred power of women gathering in circles, spaces where stories are shared, support is felt, and we remember we are not alone.
Through a reflective poem from Kim’s book “Like Chocolate for Women”, we are reminded that true beauty and wisdom grow from within.
This episode invites us to pause, breathe, and remember that self-love is not selfish, it is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

Quotes:
The power of connection and the incredible power of women and the magic that happens when we truly connect with ourselves and with each other.
I want to invite you to pause, to breathe and remember the power of loving who you are.
Women are extraordinary beings.
We nurture, we create, we hold space, we lead, we rebuild, we care, and we rise again and again through the many phases of life.
Many of us forget the most important leadership role we will ever play. And that is the leadership of ourselves.
Self love is not selfish.
Self care is not indulgent.
When a woman truly honours her body, when she listens to her intuition and takes more time to care for her mind, for her heart, for her spirit, then something shifts.
She leads from alignment rather than exhaustion.
She leads from compassion rather than comparison.
This is what enables us to even maybe lead from truth rather than expectation.
There is something very deeply sacred about women just coming together.
For 1000s of years, women have always come together in circles, to heal, to celebrate, to learn, and to remember their strengths and their power.
We see parts of ourselves reflected in each other and we can remind ourselves and each other of our worth.
May you honour the woman that you are, celebrate the woman you are becoming.
Self love is the most powerful leadership gift of all.

Imogen shares her journey from the entertainment industry into wellness work as a doula, circle facilitator and author of The Power of Circle, reflecting on how practices like meditation, journaling and community helped her redefine herself beyond external expectations.

In a time where loneliness and digital connection are increasing, they highlight the importance of intentional, in person spaces that nurture emotional wellbeing and meaningful relationships.
Imogen also explains how circles can be thoughtfully facilitated with structure and intention, and shares insights from her accredited training program designed to help others safely hold these spaces.

Quotes:
I think we all go through natural progression in life. We have chapters.
If someone says you can’t, I’m like, I will.
Don’t let other people define who you are, whether it is on the outside or the inside.
Love it and be there because you love it but still don’t let other people in that field define who you are.
It is really important that we define who we are. We love ourselves enough to define who we are.
What comes out of that is a community of people who want to lift each other up and support each other.
If I didn’t find self care, I was going to be in trouble.
Circle has transformed me to the point that I am a different person now.
When you sit in a circle, there is no hierarchy.
There is an equality, there is inclusion, there is looking into each other’s eyes.
The energy of that circle doesn’t stop when the circle closes. You take that with you.
Circle creates this beautiful shape where nobody feels like they have to be the person that stands at the front and fixes everybody.
Our bodies are wired for in person connection.
Circle offers deep in person connection.
It really is an ancient tool that has worked since the dawn of time.
No one needs to be a guru. No one needs to be an expert.
It is purely about creating an intentional space that feels warm, inviting, relaxing and nourishing.
We are in the middle of a loneliness epidemic and it is global.
It is like gifting yourself a moment in time.
Meditation is now mainstream. Circles need to be mainstream as well.
We can learn so much more from somebody telling us the story of their life than scrolling on Instagram.
Think of every year as you go, the things that you let go of and the new things that you expand with. We are levelling up.
Circle gives people a safe place.
You leave the baggage at the door.
I want to keep loving myself so much that I don’t need to be any younger version of me anywhere.
I would love to see a circle in every corner.
This has by far been the most rewarding career that I have done.
You have to love yourself so much that I have the ability to love you because we are both worthy of pure unconditional love

March 11 SLP 561: Self Love Quicky - The Power of Responding Rather Than Reacting
In this week’s Quicky Kim discusses the importance of emotional regulation and its connection to self love. She explains that emotional regulation involves responding to emotions in a conscious way rather than reacting impulsively. Kim provides five tools to help with self regulation and emphasises that regulation is not about suppressing emotions but about feeling them deeply without becoming destructive. She stresses that self love involves being able to sit with one’s own emotional storm without abandoning oneself. This episode highlights the importance of emotional regulation for personal growth and the ability to create positive change in the world.

Quotes:
Emotional regulation simply means our ability to manage and respond to our emotions in a conscious way.
It is also teaching us how to hold ourselves when we feel angry, how to speak to ourselves when we feel hurt and how we respond when we feel triggered or activated.
Emotional regulation is ultimately self respect and action.
Emotional dysregulation is usually protection.
Regulation is the conscious adult.
Safety is the foundation for all healing.
Clarity reduces the intensity.
The brain calms when we can name the emotions.
Often our reactions are echoes of the past.
Self love is the ability to sit with your own storm and not abandon yourself in it.
Regulated humans can change the world.
Our emotions are a beautiful vehicle and tool to help the learn the art of self regulation.

March 09 SLP 560: Writing Her Way: Nicole Fuge on Storytelling, Self Love and Building Muse Paper
In this episode, Kim sits down with journalist and founder of Muse Paper, Nicole Fuge, to explore her journey from traditional media into building a purpose led digital platform dedicated to women’s stories. Nicole shares how her career evolved from community newspapers to feature writing, and how motherhood, redundancy, and a desire for more meaningful work led her to launch Muse Paper in 2024. She reflects honestly on balancing journalism with raising children, navigating postpartum challenges, and redefining her identity beyond career and motherhood.
This conversation explores self belief, the art of capturing powerful personal stories, and the importance of intentional reading in a world of doom scrolling. This is an inspiring and practical conversation about reinvention, authenticity, and building something meaningful that truly supports women at every stage of life.
About Nicole
Nicole Fuge is an Australian journalist with 19 years’ experience across print and digital media. She began her career in newspapers before moving into magazines, later spending seven years in the digital space.
At the beginning of 2025, she launched Muse Paper, a modern digital publication for women seeking thoughtful stories, honest conversations, and a sense of connection.
Having experienced shifts in her health, hormones and identity, Nicole realised how much women pour into others – family, work, life – often leaving little space for themselves. Muse Paper was born from that: a place to explore the many evolving seasons of womanhood, from motherhood to menopause and everything in between.
A mum of two, Nicole has intentionally created a flexible life and career, working around nap times and often writing deep into the night when the house is quiet and still. Her work is grounded in self-trust, timing, and the power of backing yourself.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is taking care of yourself in a way that only you know how.
Her favourite quote is from: Anything you lose by speaking your truth isn’t a loss, it’s alignment.

Quotes:
I have always been curious and a little bit nosey and I think that is what drew me to media in the first place.
I remember the guidance counsellor said to me, you will never be a journalist, because you don’t have the grades, and I have carried that with me to this day.
It wasn’t until I went to uni and studied journalism that I actually thrived.
I have always looked at people and been curious of their stories and I know that everyone does have a story.
Most people are just ordinary people going about their lives.
Everyone has a story to share and I am now realising that includes me too.
I loved it and that was where I feel like my genius came out.
I didn’t want to let go of who I was before becoming a mum.
I was someone totally new, I wasn’t who I was before and I wasn’t just a mum.
I was taking care of everyone else and I needed to take care of myself as a woman, not just a mother.
I needed to count myself as a person.
If I am tired and cranky, the kids are quite often cranky too, because they pick up on that energy.
I think it is okay to want more because that is just part of being human.
When we do get to where we want to be, it is important to actually sit with that and enjoy it.
We are so busy wanting the next thing that we don’t really spend much time just sitting with where we are.
Motherhood is so hard to prepare for, but it is also so hard to explain.
It is that unspoken understanding between mothers.
It is not until you talk to another mum that they actually get it.
Those little details are what make it truly personal.
Not getting that job felt like a rejection, but in hindsight, it was a redirection.
Muse paper is written for women like me.
We needed a platform that honours all of the seasons of motherhood.
Trust the nudge even when it doesn’t make sense yet.

March 04 SLP 559: Self Love Quicky - Hormone Harmony
In this weeks Quicky, Kim explores the powerful relationship between hormones and the nervous system, reminding us that our hormones are not “misbehaving” but responding intelligently to stress, sleep, blood sugar, and overall life load. She unpacks how chronic stress shifts the body into survival mode, impacting cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and even our sleep cycles, and explains why phases like perimenopause and menopause can heighten sensitivity to stress without meaning anything is “wrong.”
Drawing on her expertise in aromatherapy, Kim highlights the direct link between the olfactory system and the limbic brain, sharing how therapeutic grade essential oils can help activate the parasympathetic nervous system and guide the body back into rest, repair, and regulation. She discusses oils such as lavender, clary sage, neroli, and citrus as supportive tools for calming the stress response and creating hormone harmony through gentle, consistent practices.
This episode is a reminder that the body is wise and responsive. Through scent, breath, ritual, and intention we can create a sense of safety that supports true hormonal balance and overall wellbeing.

Quotes:
Hormones don’t just randomly misbehave. They just respond.
One of the most important systems influencing your hormones is your nervous system.
When we label something as a hormone imbalance, it is actually a dysregulated nervous system.
This isn’t a weakness. It is just basic physiology.
The olfactory system, your sense of smell, is directly connected to the limbic part of the brain.
When we do activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Our heart rate slows, cortisol begins to reduce and muscle tension decreases.
The power of smell, the intentionality of rituals, and the ability of awareness is what helps us to balance our hormones and feel more harmony in the home.
Hormone harmony isn’t about forcing balance. It is about creating the internal conditions where balance becomes more possible.
It is about consistency over intensity. It is about rituals over reactions.
Your body is not broken. It is responsive. And when you support the nervous system, your hormones will follow.

March 02 SLP 558: The One Who Knows: Finding Yourself with Krista Bleich
In this episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim interviews Krista Bleich about her memoir, The One Who Knows, and the midlife journey that inspired it. Krista shares her path from growing up in Wisconsin to running a bakery, navigating divorce and financial hardship and ultimately rebuilding her life and career with renewed purpose. She opens up about her long held desire to write a book, the vulnerability required to tell her story, how the writing process helped her find clarity, self trust, and her authentic voice. Together, they explore themes of self-love, reinvention, nervous system regulation, and the courage to start over later in life
About Krista
I am a lifelong seeker of self-discovery, which started with an underlying belief that there was more to life than I had been living. Countless self-development books, seminars, retreats – you name it, I did it. All in self-seeking.
My memoir is a story – the story of my desperate search for something outside myself to fill me up and make me feel whole and alive. Starting in my early childhood to my teens and early 20’s, I experienced life in ways that shaped me. I did the best that I could.
One thing I will say here is that there are so many books out there that are centred around abuse, cults, and addiction, etc. Where my story doesn’t necessarily grab someone in and pull them into the depths of “oh my gosh, what a terrible lived experience that was.”
My memoir, I feel, has more relatability in some regards. As in, I just did some stupid or different things that seemed at the time the best decision I could have made given the circumstances.
And then at the same time, the Universe or God or whatever you want to name it, played its role as well. I was open enough to see what was put in front of me and take the leap.
So the book – my life story up to my mid 50’s is the journey. The ‘normal life journey’ of a woman who learned to trust in herself.
In my late 20’s, I entered an inpatient centre for 3 weeks, dealing with depression. I met the man within those walls, whom I married later that year. I thought I was saved and the fairy tale had happened, only to have a tremendous amount of disillusionment with what I had gotten myself into.
From there, I started, ran, and managed a successful business, had 4 children, and what followed was divorce and bankruptcy.
What also transpired was a rediscovery of who I am and the knowing that I have had for myself all along. I just needed to trust that.
Her definition of Self Love is: Respecting myself and not judging what brings me happiness and joy. Doing what brings me joy, even if it is simple.
Her favourite quote is from: Mariane Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’

Evolve and launch mentioned in the podcast https://evolveandrelaunch.com.au/
Quotes:
I always remember having an adventurous spirit as a kid.
I always wanted to explore more, be more and experience more.
I had this underlying sense there was more to life than what was happening on the surface.
It was a sense of something pulling me that wanted to be expressed or experienced.
I knew enough to just take the next logical step.
I knew back then I wanted to write something. The story wasn’t finished yet. There was more living that I had to do.
Everybody does have stories, but I wanted it to have some kind of message.
I tried one thing, and that didn’t work, and then I tried another thing. It taught me something more about myself.
I was really creating more and more of a monster that I had to keep feeding. I didn’t realise I was the problem.
I was trying to fill a hole that really couldn’t be filled.
I needed that space in order to really see who I was.
The other things will come when it is ready, but you can’t rush that.
Give yourself the time to find you again
I really don’t think that you really grow up until you have maturity and experiences.
Life teaches you something about who you are.
I think we really start growing up when we are over 50.
I found a career that actually fulfilled me in a completely different way. It wasn’t just a job anymore. It was a career.
My experience and my life experience had value.
I finally felt like my life was full.
I am still evolving.
It feels like the beginning of my life now.
I am open to what else might come.
Anybody who has been searching for themselves will see a part of themselves in my story.

February 25 SLP 557: Self Love Quicky - A Holistic Approach to Health
In this week’s Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, Kim explores the true meaning of holistic health and why wellness is never a one size fits all journey. She shares how many people grow up without experiencing vibrant health and often search for quick fixes rather than addressing the deeper connection between body, mind, emotions, lifestyle, and relationships.
Kim encourages you to stop outsourcing your health to a single practitioner or solution and instead develop a partnership with your own body. By tuning into intuition, listening to physical signals, and aligning with practitioners and modalities that resonate personally, individuals can make more empowered and sustainable health choices.
She also highlights the value of simple, supportive self-care practices such as rest, natural therapies, and intentional lifestyle adjustments, reminding us that true well-being comes from approaches that work in harmony with who we are. This episode is a powerful invitation to take personal responsibility, explore integrative options, and trust yourself in creating long-term vitality and balance.

Quotes:
True health is never a one size fits all.
A holistic approach means that we stop outsourcing, giving our power to one single solution, a practitioner, a modality, a pill, or a protocol.
What if we took a moment to zoom out and look at the whole picture?
There are a lot of people out there that have never experienced what it feels like to truly feel fantastic.
Your body is constantly talking to you. Listen to the whispers.
It is about choosing people and practises that resonate with you.
Just know that your body is wise.
Your intuition is beyond intelligence.
Self love means listening.
The magic happens when things work with you, not against you.
Ask yourself, what do I really need? What is my body asking of me?
Holistic health isn’t about perfection, but partnership.
You have the choice. You have the power.
You can have a thousand problems until you have a health problem, and then you only have one problem.
Health is your greatest asset.

February 23 SLP 556: From Burnout to Balance - An Integrative Approach to True Health with Dr Andrea Robertson
In this episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim sits down with Dr Andrea Robertson, an osteopath, naturopath, and nutritionist with more than 25 years of experience, to explore what it truly means to take an integrative approach to health. Andrea shares her journey from professional dancer to healthcare practitioner and how her own experience with burnout and chronic health challenges led her to expand her practice beyond osteopathy into naturopathy and nutrition.
Together, they discuss the importance of listening to the body’s signals and supporting health through balanced nutrition, movement, mindset, and nervous system regulation. Andrea explains how small, consistent lifestyle changes can create profound long term improvements and why symptoms such as fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and menopause related changes should be seen as messages rather than inconveniences to suppress.
The conversation highlights osteopathy’s whole body philosophy and its focus on the relationship between structure, function, and the nervous system. Andrea also shares insights into pain management, the healing power of touch, the benefits of strength training and walking particularly for women approaching menopause and the role of mindset in reducing the body’s stress response.
Andrea kindly offers podcast listeners a special discount for her three week inflammation detox program, designed to support the body in reducing inflammation through targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
About Andrea:
Andrea is an Osteopath, Naturopath, Nutritionist, and women’s health educator with over 25 years’ experience helping women reconnect with their bodies and restore their energy, clarity, and confidence.
Known as the Inflammation Queen, Andrea specialises in supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife transitions using a whole-body approach that blends functional medicine, nutrition, movement, mindset, and nervous system support.
A former professional dancer who performed internationally, including at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, Andrea brings a deep understanding of what happens when women push through stress, pressure, and disconnection from their bodies.
Her work is grounded in a simple belief: your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating. Learning to listen is the ultimate act of self-love.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is listening to your body. Doing what is right for your body and that you love and that love you back.
Her favourite quote is: The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new by Socrates.

Quotes:
It’s been a very long journey of health and wellness and learning.
It is a big difference when you study something you love as opposed to being something you don’t want to be.
It was like I had these curtains close across the front of my eyes.
Knowing what I know now, I wish I had just dropped everything and gone the next day.
For someone to say to you, ‘it all makes sense’, when you’re feeling so unwell, that piece alone is really healing.
My elimination systems had stopped working and my body was carrying a toxic load.
That is when I really wanted to learn how to help people in this way as well.
Nutrition, movement, mindset and supporting your nervous system, they are all equal.
A little bit of everything improves everything but a lot of all of them improves a lot.
It is really about the one percent changes.
If it is done consistently over time, it has a really profound impact.
I don’t think enough people actually listen to their bodies.
Your body is giving you messages and signals all the time.
Anything that is opposite to good health is a whisper.
Your period is like a monthly report card into your health.
It is not junk food, because it is not food.
If there are numbers on the back of the packet, that is not real food.
Doctors are seeing people who are sick and potentially dying. That is where their focus has to be.
Naturopathy works in that space where you are not sick and you are not dying, but you are also not well.
It is never about treating everything at once. It is about finding the primary driver.
When you understand pain, the threat of pain is less, and when the threat is less, the pain reduces.
I am still a working progress in resting enough.
Be open to new things that may improve your health and wellbeing.

In this weeks quicky of the Self Love Podcast, Kim explores how difficult life circumstances can serve as opportunities for growth and self discovery rather than signs of weakness. She shares practical steps for managing challenging emotions and emphasises the importance of resilience, suggesting that pain can be a catalyst for personal development and the cultivation of empathy.

Quotes:
There is nothing wrong with you for feeling overwhelmed, disappointed, sad, tired or heartbroken.
Pain is not a sign of weakness. It is a signal. Pain is information.
We have to feel it to heal it.
Instead of asking, why is this happening to me? We could gently shift the question to “what is this asking of me”?
Your pain can become a barometer and it does show you when something really matters deeply or when a boundary has been crossed.
Resilience is not built by pretending things are fine. It is built by really feeling it.
By staying present and by choosing not to abandon yourself in these tough or hard moments.
I realise that my struggles are not detours. They are actually training grounds.
Your honesty and vulnerability gives others permission to truly feel and share.
Your survival, your story, becomes a beacon for someone else’s hope.
Ask what this is actually asking of me.
Self love is not about having it all together. Sometimes it is just messy.
You don’t need to have the whole story figured out to be inspiring. You just need to keep showing up with an open heart.
Trust that even now, something meaningful is being formed within you.

February 16 SLP 554: Sabeel Burgess: A Story of Survival to Purpose
In this powerful episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim speaks with Sabeel Burgess, survivor, advocate and founder of Open Haven to share a story of resilience that spans continents and generations.
Born in Bangladesh during political unrest and later displaced across India, the UK, and eventually Australia, Sabeel’s early life was shaped by trauma, abandonment, identity loss, and homelessness at just sixteen. Along the way, she uncovered hidden family truths and began to understand how deeply generational trauma and early adversity can shape our nervous system, relationships and sense of self.
In her mid-twenties, Sabeel experienced a pivotal awakening, recognising that what she had endured was not normal and choosing to begin a conscious journey of healing. That decision transformed her life and ultimately led to the creation of Open Haven, a Brisbane based postcrisis organisation supporting women and children escaping domestic violence.
Open Haven bridges the critical gap between crisis accommodation and long term independence, offering transitional housing and holistic support including financial mentoring, practical assistance and ongoing guidance to help women rebuild their lives sustainably. With a compassionate and structured model, the organisation is helping break cycles of abuse and creating real pathways to freedom.
This episode is a moving conversation about survival, self-love, healing generational trauma, and turning personal pain into purposeful impact.
About Sabeel:
Sabeel is the founder of Open Haven and a lifelong advocate for women and children.
Shaped by her own lived experience of domestic violence, she transformed adversity into action, recognising a critical gap in support once survivors leave crisis and begin rebuilding their lives.
With a background in teaching and close work alongside social services and child protection, Sabeel saw firsthand how many women were left without guidance, community, or long-term support. A natural problem-solver and researcher, she established Open Haven in 2017 to address what was missing: post-crisis care that restores dignity, stability, and hope.
For Sabeel, this is not just work, it is purpose. Seeing women reconnect with community and thrive affirms her belief that lasting change is possible when survivors are supported beyond survival and into new beginnings.
Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is not extravagant or indulgent it is choosing safety and resting when it says stop. It is setting boundaries even when things are uncomfortable.
Her favourite quote is from: Rest is not a reward it is a responsibility.

Quotes:
I think there is so much power in story telling.
I often wonder why, why did I survive?
That was my entrance to the world.
From an early age I experienced quite a lot of trauma.
They say the first five years of our lives are the most formative and yet for me they were the most traumatic.
I am a woman of faith and I do believe I have a .
Open haven was born because of the adversity and difficulty that I experienced.
I remember feeling an incredible sense of Abandonment.
I lost culture, language and identity.
It was a time of difficulty but growth.
People provided a framework of support.
We all want to be seen. We all want to be loved. We all want to belong and most importantly we want to feel safe.
What I considered normal was not normal, it was a pivotal time.
There were days I didn’t want to get out of bed but I had to face it.
It is a journey and never linear.
You are choosing to go forward. Every day is a choice.
I needed time to heal.
I always loved community.
It is looking after every aspect of their lives and providing support.
I look at a perpetuator with compassionate.
Our women do not go back. They know they have a framework that will support them.
As a leader when you give your yourself permission to rest you give others permission to rest too.
Self love is modelling what we do. It is saying I am enough.
