I feel like this episode is a quintessential story of healing and wanderlust. I'm absolutely in love with the Tulita clean and 100% naturally derived natural fragrance range - and this is the story of its creation (and creatrix!)

Lucy Bradshaw has over 16 years of experience working for some of the best-known luxury beauty brands in the world such as YSL, Giorgio Armani and Lancôme where she worked in product development in Paris and Australia for almost two decades.

Like all good stories of overcoming, there is a plot twist.

On the brink of burn out and exhausted, Lucy discovered the practice of yoga and deepened her practice over years to eventually become a yoga teacher and certified chakra healer.

It was this unique fusion of life experience and expertise that inspired Lucy to create Tulita, a 100% naturally derived, wellness fragrance designed to balance chakra energy and enhance mood.  

I hope you enjoy xx

Natalie is a lawyer turned ‘freedompreneur’ who knows the meaning of transformation. She is a certified holistic health coach with qualifications in yoga teacher training and shamanic energy medicine; co-founder of the leading cold pressed organic juice company  @greenestreetjuice ; and a women’s business mentor @lakshmilocks.

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Nat over the last few months and I feel such an affinity to the way she operates in her feminine leadership within her life + business.

We are so aligned in our joint mission to get toxins out of the 'beauty' industry - while at the same time putting money back into the pockets of women who are open to seeing a new way to operate with 'flow' in life and business. Bring on the freedom era! Lakshmi energy indeed.

I hope you enjoy this deep and soulful chat as much as I did!

Much love xx

It seems fitting that today's podcast guest is travelling Australia in her Mercedes Sprinter Van, running her Naturopathic consulting business from her mobile 'office' - as I too am currently on the road, travelling from Melbourne to our new home in Western Australia.

Emma Drady is a women’s health naturopath and author. Her clinical naturopathic practice is completely digital meaning she is able to work from anywhere and is currently living on the road with her fiancé, experiencing the wonder of this magnificent country.

Emma’s first book Women & Nature was published in September 2023 and was an idea birthed during the pandemic as a way of encouraging more women to connect with the natural world as a way of healing.

I read Emma's book, immediately bought a copy for my beautiful sister-in-law and knew she would be a perfect fit for this podcast.

We went SO many places in this chat - life changing India travels featured heavily (like 99% of my guests it seems) and she shares an overview of some of the incredible and inspiring stories of the woman she profiles in her insightful book and their unique ways of connecting with nature to heal and thrive.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

In today's episode I wanted to outline a distillation of the work I do and summarise the top FIVE lifestyle adjustments and habits that serve us deeply and in a way that promotes health and happiness.

Simple yet profound at the same time.

I met todays podcast guest last year at a day retreat here in the Bayside area where he was one of the lead facilitators. What struck me was how he was able to hold the space so well, even with so many people in a state of resistance around getting into ice baths outside in the freezing Melbourne weather.

I had read a saying somewhere that our success in life is determined by our ability to sit in our own discomfort. This kept coming into my mind as I gingerly climbed into the ice - and immediately wanted to get out!

I thought I should get him on the podcast to talk about this AND I was also curious about what life events lead someone to create a business around this kind of deep healing.

Steven Nikolovski (AKA Stivka) is a breathwork instructor, mindset coach, entrepreneur and founder of Cold + Conscious - a wellness movement that redefines the comfort zone, and has helped over 10,000+ people change their lives. As a pioneer in the wellness movement, Steve is on a mission to help people reach their fullest potential; as individuals and as communities.

I absolutely loved this conversation and hope you do too!

Today's guest is the gorgeous Rach Bonetti.

For 27 years Rach worked in the corporate trenches partnering with some of the best minds in business all over the world. Change makers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, a billionaire and high profile business leaders - the 1%.

In 2021 she stepped away from her corporate career to share the powerful lessons she had learned about creating impact, presence, prioritisation, strategic planning, influence, productivity and most of all - how to sustain high performance without the burn out. All the things she had to learn the hard way, alone.

Rach is a fellow Highly Sensitive Woman and we. go deep into the mind, body and soul nourishing practices that we both find helpful so as to live as balanced and happy as humanly possible in this wild world.

I hope you enjoy.

Beautiful Friends and Listeners

Ahhh WHAT A YEAR. Stories of Healing and Wanderlust now 20 full episodes. 10 incredible guests and 10 solo eps.

This final solo episode is a recap of The Epic Year That Was.

A year where I busted my limiting beliefs, stepped into a greater version of myself and my purpose than I EVER thought possible and had a QUANTUM LEAP of a year both personally and professionally. I have absolutely LOVED coaching you, hosting retreats and sharing my deep love of yoga.

Don't get me wrong. It's not all roses all the time. So many years have felt like I was walking through mud. But we know what grows in the mud...THE LOTUS. One of the most beautiful and high vibrational flowers on earth. A symbol of wisdom and learning through challenge and struggle. 

In this solo episode I cover:

All I can say is I’M SO READY for the new year. Fresh energy. New beginnings. Heart and mind open.

Thank you for being here with me. I love my community more than you know. Safe travels into 2024. I shall meet you there.

Sending love!

Lou xx

Today's guest has been a much requested addition to the podcast so I thought it fitting to have them as the final guest for this first season.

Straight off the back of celebrating my amazing husbands 60'th birthday week, we recorded this podcast together at our kitchen table and invite you into our home.
