In this short solo episode, I’m sharing a simple but powerful part of my daily routine — the crystals I keep on my desk every day to support my energy, focus and calm.

These are all easy-to-use crystals that are widely available, so you can gently and realistically bring them into your own routine without it feeling complicated or overwhelming. Whether you’re working, running a business, looking after your family or simply wanting to feel more balanced, these everyday crystals can be beautiful tools to support your mind, body and wellbeing.

I talk through the 7 crystals I personally use in my workspace — rose quartz, clear quartz, selenite, turquoise, sunstone, citrine and carnelian — and how each one supports different areas of emotional wellbeing, mental clarity, positive energy and productivity.

For me, these crystals act as small, consistent anchors throughout the day. They help me stay grounded, calm and focused, while also bringing in more positive energy, confidence and clarity into my work and daily life.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

This episode is all about simple, natural wellness tools that fit into your real life — no overwhelm, just small, consistent practices that can make a big difference over time.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the four simple fashion rules I follow every spring to help me feel good in my mind and body, while still feeling effortlessly stylish.

As a busy mum and business owner, I need my wardrobe to feel comfortable, practical and easy, but also elevated, feminine and confidence-boosting. Over the years, I’ve found that having a few simple seasonal style rules makes getting dressed each day feel effortless and even supports my overall wellbeing.

In this episode, I talk you through:

These small shifts not only simplify your wardrobe but also help you feel more aligned, energised and confident in your everyday life.

Why This Matters:
What we wear doesn’t just affect how we look, it influences how we feel. Choosing colours, textures and styles that support your comfort, movement and mood can have a powerful effect on your confidence, energy and overall wellness.

This week’s episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m joined by speaker, researcher and author Dr Giselle Goodwin for a deeply honest and thought-provoking conversation around women, work and wellbeing.

Giselle brings both lived experience and academic insight to this topic. With a PhD in women, work and wellbeing, alongside 25 years of building and selling businesses, she shares a refreshing, real perspective on what it truly means to “have it all.”

Together, we have open and honest chats from our own personal experiences, as well as insights from Giselle’s research.

In this episode, we discuss:

Giselle’s journey through burnout and autoimmune challenges

Building and selling multiple businesses while raising a family

Why she chose to spend five years completing her PhD in her forties

Whether women can really “have it all”

Her latest research on women’s “third job”

The realities of societal pressure and expectations on women

People pleasing and how it impacts our wellbeing

How to create a sense of inner peace and balance

Daily rituals and routines for calming the nervous system

Happiness, fulfilment and redefining success

How we can support and guide the next generation of women

This is a powerful, grounding conversation that will leave you reflecting on your own definition of success, balance and wellbeing.

Dr Giselle Goodwin is the author of Can Women Really Have It All?, a researcher, entrepreneur and mother of two.

Originally from Canada and now based in Cheshire, Giselle blends academic insight with the lived reality of board meetings, school runs and the everyday juggle of modern motherhood.

After co-founding and successfully exiting three companies in healthcare and recruitment, she returned to university in her forties to explore a question many women quietly carry: what does a humane and realistic version of work-life balance actually look like?

She completed her PhD in 2022, focusing on women, work and wellbeing. Today, she supports working mothers to challenge unrealistic societal expectations and create lives that feel sustainable, fulfilling and aligned — without constant self-sacrifice.

Face Yoga for Dream Skin & Beauty Sleep – my brand-new course designed to help you glow from the inside out while improving your sleep and skin health

Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Replenish Overnight Balm – deeply nourishing, restorative skincare to support your skin overnight

In this episode, I’m sharing something powerful I’ve noticed after interviewing hundreds of the leading wellness, beauty, skin and business experts on The Face Yoga Expert Podcast.

Across different backgrounds, specialties, and approaches, the same core habits come up again and again.

These are simple, daily practices but they are also the foundation of long-term health, glowing skin, balanced energy, and a calm, focused mind.

If you’ve ever wondered what truly makes a difference (without overwhelm), this episode is for you.

1. They take quiet space every day

Whether it’s meditation, breathwork, journaling, or simply a few moments of stillness, they prioritise time to reset their nervous system and connect inward.

2. They move their body daily

This doesn’t have to mean intense workouts—it’s about consistency. From walking to yoga to strength training, daily movement supports circulation, energy, and overall wellbeing.

3. They focus on prevention over cure

Rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, they take proactive steps to support their health—through lifestyle, nutrition, skincare, and holistic practices.

4. They prioritise sleep and recovery

Rest is non-negotiable. Deep sleep, relaxation, and recovery are seen as essential—not optional—for both physical health and skin vitality.

5. They stay curious and keep learning

They are always open. Always evolving. Always learning—whether that’s through research, personal development, or new wellness practices.

If this episode resonates, I’ve created something to help you go deeper into one of the most important pillars—sleep and recovery.

My brand-new course: Face Yoga for Deep Sleep & Beauty Glow

This course teaches you simple, effective techniques to:

• Improve your sleep quality

• Support your nervous system

• Enhance your skin’s natural overnight repair process

• Wake up looking and feeling more refreshed

Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Replenish Overnight Balm

My new overnight balm is designed to work alongside your body’s natural nighttime renewal process, helping to:

• Deeply nourish and hydrate the skin

• Support repair while you sleep

• Leave your skin looking plumper, smoother, and more radiant by morning

Together, these create a beautiful evening ritual to support both inner wellness and outer glow.

In this week’s episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing a powerful concept that has shaped not only my business over the last 20+ years, but also my mindset, growth and success, The 5% Shift.

So often, we think we need to make huge changes to see big results.

But in reality, it’s the small, consistent, intuitive shifts that truly create lasting transformation.

In this episode, I talk about how building a successful personal brand and business doesn’t come from burnout, overwhelm or drastic action, it comes from tuning into your intuition, taking aligned steps, and repeating them consistently.

This is exactly how I’ve built The Face Yoga Expert into a global wellness brand through small, intentional up-levels over time.

What the 5% Shift really means and how to apply it to your life and business

Why small changes can be the tipping point for big results

The importance of listening to your intuition in business decisions

How to take aligned action rather than forced or frantic action

Why consistency beats intensity every time

How to avoid overwhelm and build success in a sustainable way

Real examples of how I’ve used the 5% Shift to grow my brand, courses and community

How you can start making your own 5% shifts today

You don’t need to change everything overnight.

Just focus on a small 5% up-level — and repeat it consistently.

That’s where the magic happens.

If you’re ready to build your own wellness business, teach Face Yoga and create more freedom, flexibility and income in your life, my accredited Face Yoga Teacher Training Course is the perfect next step.

In this week’s solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I share some simple but powerful ways to uplevel your Face Yoga routine.

If you feel like your Face Yoga isn’t giving you the lifting and firming results you hoped for, there may be a few small adjustments you can make which can have a big impact.

These tips will help you get the most out of your routine and ensure that what you’re doing is effective, supportive for your skin and easy to maintain in your day-to-day life.

In this episode, I talk through five key areas that can make a big difference to your results, and I explain how you can start incorporating these into your routine straight away. 

Why posture plays a key role in lifting and toning the face

Why pressing too hard during Face Yoga can actually be counterproductive

The importance of using the right skincare products when practising Face Yoga

How doing too much or too little Face Yoga can affect your results

Why breath and relaxation are essential for healthy, lifted skin

I also explain how making small changes to these areas can help you see better results while keeping your routine simple and enjoyable.
