There is a lot happening in the Chatters lives, so it’s catch up today.  Kim talks about her book The Art of Self Love, Carren explains her latest venture Spirit Hive and Cyndi has been in planning mode for 2019 and there is more information regarding her campaign to stop the spraying of Roundup by her council.  As always the catchup has times of rawness, how do they cope with the changes, the inspirations, the though times and the celebrations. This is like being a fly on the wall as the Chatters catch up on each others lives.

Lauren Brisbane owns QCamel, the first Australian camel milking farmer. Lauren is not your usual farmer, she thinks outside the square, her animal husbandry is more like a caring facility for women and children.  You know with Carren and her love for animals that she wouldn’t interview anyone that was not only caring for animals but for the planet.  Lauren’s story is unique, she was a farmer but with drought and many suicides in her community she knew there had to be a better way of farming, it was a matter of being sparked by a conversation, doing some research, starting with just a few camels and now has a herd of over 100.  The health benefits of camel milk are discussed in this interview which Cyndi dives into, and now camel milk is also being used in with essential oils for personal care products.  It’s a heart warming conversation about animals, the planet, organic farming and the 6000 year old history of the Bedouins as Cameliers.

Jenny Tschiesche is a UK nutritionist who is sometimes known as the Lunch Box Doctor.  She asked Cyndi to write the forward for her new book.  Gut Health and Probiotics – The Science Behind the Hype.  Cyndi does not write a forward unless she has read the whole book.  Cyndi loves Jenny’s book and believes that doctors and lay people alike should read this valuable resource. Carren, Kim and Cyndi launch into a barrage of questions how our gut health  not only effects our physical body but our mental state.  Jenny is a wealth of knowledge.  

Jenny’s book is available at Angus and Robertson in Australia, other wise amazon world wide.

What a coo for the Chatters they managed to interview the extraordinary interviewer – Sean Croxton.  Sean began his life as an interviewer with his podcast Underground Wellness, he reached the peak of his career in that space and then walked away from the health realm to move into self help and personal development.  His change was that he understand that there were many modalities to healing, but he noticed that those that healed had a lot to do with their mind and positivity.  He followed his passion and has managed to secure himself as the most informed interviewer about his guest.  He also has interviewed the best in the self help space.  In this interview Sean tells The Chatters about a year of learning and what he learnt about an industry and about himself.

9 Strangers set off on an adventure around Namibia and Botswana. They tell of their time in ‘this is Africa” where time slows down, no one is in a hurry and small planes are fixed with gaffe tape.

8 people plus Cyndi venture on an Up For A Chat 2018 adventure to Africa.  After 2 weeks of fun, laughs, learnings and mishaps Cyndi decides to ask them why they came, what they learnt and what was there favorite part of the trip.  It’s surprising that some of the guests wanted to change what they were doing in their own lives.  It’s a fun filled hour, with a few tears, lessons and most of all unbelievable respect for each other after being with each other 24/7.

Cyndi has just arrived home from the Annual Up For A Chat hike and adventure from Namibia and Botswana.  Carren and Kim have so many questions, about the highlights, but the conversation flows to what we learn when we travel and put ourselves in places that are foreign to western society.  Cyndi has travelled through remote areas meeting the Himba’s and San Bushman of Namibia as well as the Kalhari Bush People.  It’s an adventure not to be missed.
