September 15, 2023 Ep 16. How to regulate your stress _ Trent Marsh
Trent is a father of two – a 5 year old and an almost 2 year old.
He is the National Health & Wellness Manager at Pinnacle Health Group, consulting to many of Australia's largest workplaces on their employee wellbeing strategy - which includes understanding the unique needs of the workplace and planning structured programs to empower both employees and employers with powerful data & tools to positively impact health & wellbeing.

Trent’s three wellbeing habits are:
1. Cold shower - to do something at the start of the day that’s hard,

2. Breathwork – setting aside time to take a number of 'physiological sighs',

3. Gratitude - finishing the day with this helps him stay present and gives him perspective.

Family Ritual
Trent loves to start the day by the water or in nature, together as a family. The spontaneous level of 'fun' it has brought to their morning has been so beneficial for each of them.

September 04, 2023 Ep 15. Be your own inner coach _ Danielle Dobson
Charlotte spoke with Danielle Dobson - Lead parent and Mother of 3 teenage boys, Author of Breaking the Gender Code and Founder of Code Conversations.

Danielle’s three wellbeing habits are:
1.   Claim the day with a morning routine – “Give to myself before I give to the world” - Little rituals included: hot water on face, drink hot water,
sitting in stillness, 10 mins of Qi Gong. When her kids were smaller, “I didn’t have high expectations on what it should be.”
2.  Evening routine – de-fragging before lights out. A mindfulness analogy of the baggage carousel.
3.  Strengthening your inner coach, a compassionate voice and self-knowledge data base. “Reframing what’s wrong and focusing on what’s strong”. “While a focus on what’s wrong helped us to survive, a focus on what’s strong will help us to thrive.”

Family Ritual
Gratitude over dinner - Danielle spoke to continually improving this ritual making sure they all connect to what they were grateful for.

Ali is particularly passionate about supporting new parents with their return to work.

May 29, 2023Bonus Ep. What's the big deal about loneliness and isolation?
Today Charlotte shares a bonus episode on the epidemic of loneliness and
isolation.
What is loneliness and isolation
What are the health effects:
The results from this multidisciplinary research have
yielded some fascinating information:
·
Loneliness and social isolation are linked to
around a 30 percent increased risk of having a stroke or developing coronary
artery disease.
·
Higher relationship quality raises your levels
of oxytocin, the so-called “love hormone.”
·
Blood pressure and anxiety are higher for people
with ambivalent relationships than for those with supportive ones.
·
The presence of a supportive person — or even
just thinking about them — can reduce cardiovascular and neuroendocrine
responses to stress.
Why loneliness and isolation is prevalent in today’s modern world.
What is social connection and how does it benefit our health?
How do we create more social connection?

Stay tune for future episodes on The ART of connection … connecting in a disconnected world.

Today Charlotte chats with Victoria Jones.
Victoria Jones is married and mum to a 3 and a 2 year old, an
influencer marketing agency founder and former international journalist who
helps smart and driven women start and grow their own business.

Through her six week Upstart
program, business podcast and interactive workshops she’s empowered and enabled
hundreds of female founders to succeed.
By providing women with
tangible action steps, tried and tested strategies and profound mindset shifts
(all with a sprinkle of playfulness), Victoria is
on a mission to create a movement of bold and brave women taking action on
their dreams and building a business and life they love.

Vic’s three wellbeing habits are:
1. ‘Take a moment to yourself’
2. Reflect on the day – celebrate and gratitude
3. Dance – a rave under fairy lights
And Vic’s wonderful family ritual – aside from dancing with her kids to
shake their sillies out, they learn something new every day to encourage curiosity.
At the moment they are all learning Italian together. One word per day to prep them for their big trip
to Italy.

May 03, 2023 Bonus Ep 1. How could being a working parent be good for you?
Here I chat about work-family enrichment - a concept introduced to me by Yael Schonbrun in her book, 'Work, Parent,
Thrive'.
Here are a couple of questions you can ask yourself – I have
taken them from Schonbrun’s book, ‘Work,
Parent, Thrive’.
Work and family don't have to be at odds with
each other – they can actually work together to make your life even better!
1. How did my professional life help me parent
better today?
2. Where did my parenting role help me do a better
job in my work this week?

I hope this helps make wellbeing more of a reality for you!
Thanks for listening and catch you next time.
