Welcome back to the podcast my beautiful friends. In this solo two part episode I give you an insight into whats been going on in our honeymoon travels so far. The good, the bad, the frustrating and the unexpected. Things don't always go to plan and while that can be hard for a meticulous Virgo planner like myself, I have learned enough about staying open to The Universe's plan and how to lean into surrender along the way, which helps me DAILY. In part one of this episode I give you the insights that came to me and the lessons that were reinforced for me AND I share how we randomly ended up in the presidential suite at a different hotel in Barcelona - through no effort of our own.

Part two - (from 28 minute mark) I dive into the wild and mysterious story of the town of Lourdes and the miracles that are said to have occurred there since the 1850's when a 14 years old girl was 'gifted' a series of visions that changed the destinty of this tiny French town forever. I ask that you take off your 'beliefs' hat and put on your 'entertaining possibilities' hat as I take you on my personal journey with this town that stated 20 years ago...with a golden coin.

Hope you enjoy! As always please rate and review on the apple podcast app and share if you feel called to. Much love xx

'Krissy' is a fun loving mover and shaker who you may know from the Melbourne yoga scene. Expressing himself through the body has always came naturally and both dance and yoga have played an integral role in his journey.

With a performing arts career that began at the age of 15, dance quickly became the focus of his formative years. Kristian was also introduced to the yoga practice by his aunty Tracy (a beautiful teacher) at the age of 17. With these two passions Kristian travelled the world from the US to the UK, Germany, Stockholm, Paris and wound up back home in Sydney Australia. Now settled in Melbourne, he shares a holistic approach to the body and loves bringing ancient wisdom into the modern world.

We discuss:

Hope you enjoy!

Hello friends. Todays episode is rather self explanatory from the title! You may know by now, I LOVE retreats. I attend them, I host them and I believe everyone can benefit in some way from them. Retreats are immersive experiences that offer a break from the routine of daily life, creating a space for personal growth, reflection, and transformation. They can take many forms, from yoga and meditation retreats to spiritual or nature-based retreats. Regardless of the form, retreats can be powerful tools for personal development, offering benefits that extend far beyond the duration of the retreat itself.

In this episode we cover:

In this solo episode I share with you what it means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP). We go into the science and touch on the work of Elaine Aron who was the research psychologist who discovered this trait in the 1990's and paved the way for an entire generation of empowered HSP's. We also cover my own lived experience of being a HSP, what to do if you think you might be HSP or if perhaps you have a highly sensitive child, partner or friend. It is my core belief that HSP's are here to change the world in a great way and its my mission to spread awareness and support for my community. I hope you enjoy. Please share this with someone who you think might benefit from this information.

Todays guest interview is with the beautiful Rayne Watkin. Originally from Canada, Rayne is now a much loved yoga and meditation teacher in Melbourne, Australia. She is a mama and wife, an osteopath, and a tantric hatha yogi, creating offerings that heal and empower. In this episode we go deep into growing up a shy and highly sensitive child, finding yoga and other healing paths, and what it means to share ancient wisdom in a modern world that is out of balance.

I absolutely loved being in conversation with this incredible medicine woman and I know you will too.
