In this special walk-and-talk episode of The Wholesome Way, I join my aunty, Justine Lobb - an inspiring entrepreneur with over three decades in the skincare industry - for a candid conversation about self-discovery as we stroll through the Welsh mountains.

Justine reveals the guiding pillars that have shaped her path and purpose as a martial artist, a surfer, a mother and a businesswoman, and shares honest insights into her life philosophy:

How trusting your gut could actually slow down the ageing process.

Why you should go out of your way to tell the barista when they make you a good coffee.

And how getting caught in a strong surf current taught Justine everything about who she was meant to be in this world.

This moving, grounded conversation about inner strength, presence, and learning from Mother Nature, is full of wisdom and warmth—and a few deep breaths of fresh mountain air.

In this solo episode of The Wholesome Way, I open up about something that’s been on my mind lately—the connection between challenge and becoming your true self.

I share the story of a champion boxer who overcame immense setbacks and used adversity to rise even higher—reminding us that challenge can be the pathway to growth.

From stormy cadet nights on an Australian army range, a bold career move overseas, and climbing three mountains in one day, I also reflect on my own journey to tackle some of the big questions we face in life:

What does it really mean to leave your comfort zone?

How do you start challenging yourself intentionally?

And why does it matter?

If you’ve been feeling stuck in the same cycle or ready for growth, then have a listen because this one's for you!

Welcome to the opening episode of The Wholesome Way!

I'm grateful that you've decided to join me on this journey.

In this episode, I open up about why I started this podcast, what it means to be wholesome, what you can expect in future episodes, and why I believe NOW is a better time than ever to start creating the life that we deserve.

I'll share a little about my own upbringing, experiences that shaped me, and the real-life wake-up call I had after moving from the laid-back beaches of Sydney to the fast-paced streets of London.

Through honest conversations with experts and gurus in this podcast series, my intention is to uncover the knowledge and tools needed to reconnect with the true and healthy version of ourselves and pave our way through today’s chaotic world with more balance, joy, and purpose.

Each episode, we'll deep dive into the pillars of health and wellbeing; from mindfulness and meditation, to exercise, nutrition, and beyond.

If you’re standing at a fork in the road, wondering how to move forward towards a healthier, happier, fulfilling life—you’re not alone.

Take the leap and join me, as we walk The Wholesome Way. Together.

To kick off the very first season of the podcast - 'Finding the REAL you' - I sat down with a good friend of mine Alejandro, to talk about mental health.

I have come to realise that we need to be 100% clear on our beliefs, values, and identity as a whole, if we want to find good health, personal growth and purpose in our lives.

And that all starts with our state of mind.

Are our thoughts about ourselves, and our past, present and future, leading us astray?

Are we desperately distracting ourselves to keep the internal monologue at bay?

Do we have control of our mind to take on the curveballs life throws?

In this episode, Alejandro takes us through his perspective and experience in promoting mental health as a coach and an academic, as we tackle the deep questions on everyone's mind:

What does it actually mean to have good mental health?

How does our mental state affect our overall health and purpose in life?

What sorts of techniques can we practise to take back real control of our mind and navigate this thing we call life?
