  • 19. The Most Common Types of Conditioning, And How They’re Holding You Back

    “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will rule your life and you will call it Fate.” - Carl Jung


    Feeling stuck? Feeling like you're repeating patterns you're desperate to break, but no idea why? Think the world just is how it is, and you just have to roll with it?


    That's conditioning baby - and most often, limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck.


    In today's episode, we take a deep dive into the five most common types of conditioning I see in my life, the lives of my clients, and all around us.


    From good girl conditioning, to scarcity mindsets, to men wearing suffering as a badge of honour - there's a lot to unpack here.


    If you want to reclaim the position of director and narrator of your own life, then this is the episode for you. Let's dive in!

          • 18. Life Catch Up & Doing It All - Can We Really?

            Hey Simplicity Seekers - it's been a while!


            In our return episode, we chat through managing impending burnout. How do we balance competing priorities in this busy world we're in, and how do we know when it's too much?


            Can we do it all, or is that a pipe dream?


            Where do we turn in times of overwhelm?


            And why do we repeat the same patterns, even if logically we want to do different?


            Let's dive in. I missed y'all x

                Welcome back to the Podcast, Simplicity Seekers! I have got a certified HOT TAKE for y'all today. This sh*t keeps popping up EVERYWHERE and bothering me - so let's talk about it.

                We cover:
                How coaches/therapists/practitioners pushing healing feminine/masculine energies can be problematic
                The cultural appropriation & white washing of the ancient Chinese philosophy of Yin & Yang
                What Yin/Yang or feminine/masculine energy actually MEANS
                How changing the narrative of Yin & Yang to mean traditional gender norms is incredibly harmful
                Unethical coaching/sales tactics to look out for online
                How we can utilise the Yin/Yang philosophy and feminine/masculine energies in a way that is actually beneficial, healthy and true to it's cultural heritage
                It's a lot to cover - so get comfy, and let's go!

                    • 11. The Simple Secret To Waking Up Earlier, Establishing A Routine & ACTUALLY Sticking To It

                      Happy Tuesday Simplicity Seekers!

                      This episode goes out to anyone who has told themselves time and time again that they are going to get up earlier - you set the alarm, lay out your activewear, feel so excited to change your life with a new routine... aaaaaand then you sleep through your alarm, and decide to try again tomorrow. And then tomorrow again. And tomorrow again And tomo- ENOUGH!

                      I've done all the hard work for you over years of working out how TF to successfully incorporate new habits into my own life. I know what works, what doesn't, and what is just unhelpful motivational rubbish popping up on your TikTok.

                      If you know the type of life you want but just don't know how to GET THERE, sit down, pop your earphones in, and let's unlock the keys in:

                      - How I went from being someone who could NOT get up earlier than 7:30am for years to someone who gets up at 5am most days of the week (and actually enjoys it)

                      - The benefits of a morning routine and how you can create extra time in your day

                      - The Ayurvedic perspective on morning routines & movement

                      - How your lack of a morning routine is messing with your hormones

                      - The simple secrets behind starting a morning routine and sticking to it - habit stacking, brain training, visualisations, bio-hacking and working WITH our natural biology & rhythm instead of against it

                      This is also the first time I've ever bleeped out poor language from me - and as we know, I'm a pretty casual, Australian, say it how it is gal. Here's a game: guess what I decided was TOO crude for this podcast and bleeped, and you'll win a voucher to my shop front for readings, my cookbook or Reiki healings!


                      SHOW NOTES:

                      - This is the sunrise alarm clock that will change your routine and life

                      - For cycle tracker apps, I recommend Kindara if you want it simple and fairly medical, and Stardust if you want something a little more fun and woo-woo. I use both!

                      - This is a really great read on cycle syncing, so you can habit stack around your natural biology

                      - Just how detrimental false urgency & busy culture is to our mental, physical and emotional health

                      - The correlation between busy culture, people pleasing, perfectionism and lack of self worth
