The Art Of Listening To Your Body

If you're feeling a little scattered living hour by hour, day by day, try this exercise you've probably heard of before.

Goal setting.

Learn about the language to use when you goal set, if the SMART acronym really works, and what to do with your goals once you've conjured them up in your head.

It's the start of the month. Go set some goals, and see what happens.

The key is consistency. It's simple but not easy.

Here is the goal setting template I use each month. CLICK HERE to grab your copy.

Learn with me today about how your knees can tell you if you're heading in the right direction or if something isn't quite right in your relationship.

Listen to those niggles especially if your knee's aren't behaving like you're expecting them too.

Your body is clever and can tell you more than just 'slow down'.

Gavin Lang is a mountain guide and adventure photographer from Wanaka, New Zealand.

He guides clients on the high mountains, loves the challenge of a technical solo climb on steep ice and is also a dad to Violet.

He's had many injuries, but there was one significant injury which forced him to stop working and enjoying his hobbies. A cervical (neck) disc injury with nerve impingement.

Listen in has Gav shares how he felt his disc injury was triggered. He also talks about how this particular injury affected him physically and mentally, the treatment he sought and what he surrendered to.

His disc injury gave him lots of insight into how he was living life and what needed to change in the way he worked and how he expressed himself.

Since that major injury, Gav has had a couple of others he'll share with you. With the ability of new found insight, he could appreciate what these new injuries were telling him, therefore experiencing less pain and a quicker recovery.

He has now had six injury free years- whoop whoop! He puts it down to really living the life he wants to and working the way that feels right to him. It comes down to more than just changing the physical aspects.

**Please note that since publishing this podcast Kate passed away in June 2020. This podcast has remained as it has a strong message to share with others and is still touching and saving lives, prompting women to check their breasts**

In Episode 57 one year later Kate's mum Robyn Edleston shares the story of what happened to Kate.

Today I'm joined by Nutritionist Kate Callaghan who is on her stage 4 breast cancer healing journey.

What does stage 4 mean? Cancer has spread. Normally this isn't great news.

Just last week (after the recording of this podcast) Kate shared that the news is good. Her oncologist told her she was in the healing/recovery phase!!

Kate openly shares her journey from finding the lump to getting the diagnosis all within a short period of time in 2019.

She has sought both conventional and alternative treatments on all levels to help regain her health and vitality.

Kate is known as @theholiticnutritionist online, is an author and international speaker. She loves to help women heal their hormones and works with women when their periods are missing in action.

Right now she is on a full time health journey.

She shares the knowledge she has on her hormone driven breast cancer and the possible triggers given that she does in fact live a very healthy lifestyle.

We talk about the deeper emotional backstory and the current emotions that she has come to acknowledge and work with throughout this journey.

We talk about her past history, delve into relationships, anger, resentment and expressing what is.
