Growing up in Egypt, Marleen didn’t have the easiest childhood. She was surrounded by stress and fear with no one to confide in. This led her down the path of emotional eating and by the age of 13, she was obese. By the age of 15 she realised she had to make a change and that emotional eating wasn’t a healthy or sustainable path. 

Faced with feelings of low self-worth and inadequacy taking control of her weight was a pivotal moment in her mental health. She changed what she ate and started exercising. By the time she turned 19, she has lost 20kg and was well on the way to a healthy mindset and body.  But then she ran away… from Egypt, from her family and an unwanted engagement, to start a life in Australia and discover for herself what freedom felt like. 

Unfortunately, this major life change pushed her back down the path of comfort eating and she regained half of the lost weight.

This woke her up.

She needed to find a sustainable way to keep the weight off and manage her unhealthy relationship with food and her body. 

Through learning about emotional reliance on food, understanding her moments of weakness and implementing strategies to better manage her emotional state, as well as, incorporate a moderate diet and exercise routine into her life, she managed to lose a total of 42kg and go on to win 3 Gold and 4 Silver Medals in both National and World Championship Bikini Competitions only 6 months after having her baby. 

In this podcast, Marleen discusses some powerful ideas to start putting ourselves first, loving ourselves, and then working hard to achieve because we love ourselves, not in order to love ourselves. Learn how to choose freedom. This is an incredible conversation not to be missed

Louise Johnson is a burnout prevention and recovery coach, dedicated to helping professionals and organisations combat burnout. Foremost, she is a burnout survivor. She connects wholeheartedly with her clients as she understands firsthand the pain and frustration they are experiencing. 

Her unique advantage is her natural talent for spotting patterns (survival strategies) and gently yet thoroughly addressing the underlying concern to bring about healing. By healing the concern, the survival strategy is no longer necessary, and a healthier behaviour can be instilled in its place.

She knows how much of a winding and lonely road it can be to recover from burnout when those around you seem to have it all together, or they also can’t relate to what you are experiencing. When she was recovering from burnout, there weren’t burnout coaches or specialists who could assist her, and she really felt something was wrong with her. She learned through a lot of trial and error, research, and bounced from one practitioner and healer to the next. Her recovery took the scenic route – yours doesn’t need to. This is why she trained to become a coach and is devoted to continued learning in this area to bring tried and tested techniques and the most current information. She realised on her journey that work and achievement do not define us, but that we are great just as we are.

Her experiential acumen is backed by sound qualifications as a certified life-, wellness- and trauma-coach (The Life Coaching Academy Australia). She is compliant with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competencies, policies, ethics and code of conduct. She originally trained and received an Honours in Bachelor of Molecular Sciences (BSc) (Genetics and Biochemistry). She furthered her studies in business completing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA). In experiencing her own life challenges, she became interested in well-being and alternative healing therapies whilst still in corporate employment. Louise has worked in global corporations for the past 18 years in specialist roles at various levels. Industries include Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, R&D, Government, Mining, and Oil & Gas. This background allows her to easily relate to the various scenarios and challenges experienced in corporations

She lives in Perth, Western Australia with her husband, son and two dogs. There is never a dull moment! Here favourite things to do are to spend time with her family, explore nature, travel, learn new things and move her body. It is Louise's mission to help as many people as possible to help them live the life of health and abundance they were put on this planet to enjoy. This is a wonderful conversation, not to be missed.

Benjamin Smith's interest in health started at a young age. He remembers asking my dad who is a dermatologist, all kinds of abstract and philosophical questions. Why is the sky blue? Or why does the sun cause skin issues? He was fascinated with wanting to know why.

In his early 20s, he thought about pursuing a career in the medical field, specifically a naturopath. Life changed course on him and he got into the automotive detailing industry, owning his own company for the last 30 years.

All this time he was still interested in health and how the human body worked, but it was more of a leisurely pursuit. He read a few articles and watched a few videos here and there. It wasn’t until 2012 when he became more or less obsessed with why people get chronic disease. That year his sister died of cancer and he thought to himself, “does the body want to kill itself?” It didn’t make sense.

In 2014 he started to really dive “deep into the woods” and started to learn some amazing things about water, nose breathing and other things that could lead to optimal wellbeing. He started to voraciously read everything I could get my hands on about health.

Fast forward to 2019 and he was realizing he needed to share this information with people around him and with his loved ones. He thought, “I can become a health coach!” This way he can share his information and help people get well. He signed up for The Primal Health Coach Institute after much research as they were in line with his values. After getting his certificate, he realised he wanted to help people through teaching and lecturing.

A friend suggested “Why don’t you write a book?“ He thought this would be perfect. He could get his message out there for people who wanted to listen. Over the past four years, he has been researching and working on this book and it has finally come to fruition. This “model” that he created and developed is a decade of research and reviewing hundreds of articles as well as talking and learning from experts in their respective fields.

It is Benjamin's mission to help as many people as possible to help them live the life of health and abundance they were put on this planet to enjoy. This is a wonderful conversation, not to be missed.
