Jennifer Barr is the talented woman behind the most beautiful meal prep-inspiration Instagram account, @theplantedone. Much to no surprise, her other passions lie in plant-based recipe creation, food styling and photography. But what may come as a surprise is that Jenn's life didn't look or feel as blissful as her Instagram feed looks last year as she endured a major breakup and the challenge of caring for her parent's and their declining health as an only child.

This week I turn 28 and so, with yet another trip around the sun, I wanted to reflect on some of the lessons I've learned over my life so far in regards to relationships, self-love, body image and careers.

Melanie Corlett is the Founder and Owner of Sydney's First Women-Focused Strength & Conditioning Facility, Women of Treign and is also a new bad ass mama to sweet Emmelyn Audrey. 

Mel and I met in our last semester of university abroad in Sydney, Austraila and although we had a bit of a rocky start to our friendship which you'll hear about in this episode, it's evident that we came into each other's lives for a reason. Mel is one of the most inspiring, passionate, driven and big-hearted people I've had the pleasure to meet and I can't wait for you to learn from her personal and professional wisdom.

Spoiler alert: I cried in this episode.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Mel finds balance between being a new mom, business owner and wife
• The value of staying true to your beliefs, even if it means standing alone at times
• The misconceptions of weight training for women
• The endless benefits that come with strength training beyond aesthetics
• Shifting the focus to celebrate what your body can do versus what your body looks like
• Mental health-boosting benefits of strength training
• Starting over in a relationship or job and how to stay positive
• Finding true love again after a life altering break up
• How to connect with like-minded people with similar interests and passions

I've had the pleasure of working alongside Holistic Nutritionist and Founder of Joyous Health, Joy McCarthy, for 2+ years as the Community Manager at Joyous Health. Before I started working with her, I reached out to a colleague who knew her well to verify if she was really as joyous as she appears to be. Turns out, it was true and I can confidently say, Joy is truly one of the most passionate, big-hearted, caring and joyous people I've ever met. 

But there was a time in her life when she didn't feel as joyous as she does now as a result of not filling "all" of her cups – her relationship cup, her health cup and her career cup.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The steps Joy took to improve her health, relationships and find a job that fulfills her (spoiler alert: she created it!)
• Joy's definition of "balance"
• Why striving for healthy eating 24/7 isn't realistic
• How Joyous Health was born and how she got by in the early days
• How to work with your significant other and maintain your personal relationship
• Navigating parenthood and entrepreneurship simultaneously
• What Joy and Walker had to sacrifice as a result of becoming parents
• Joy's third book, The Joyous Cookbook (!!!!), and what to expect from it (and when)
• Rapid fire with Joy and Walker:
  • Their favourite thing about working with each other
  • One thing the other person is really good at
  • One thing the other person does to make each other's day brighter
  • What they would be doing if Joyous Health didn't exist
  • Who's the boss?
