If magically, 2 extra hours appeared in your day, what would you do in that time? If you had to dedicate that time solely to you?

I posed this question multiple times this week, with little to no response. 

A few years ago I moved from Wollongong back to Central West NSW. I rented a duplex, had a good job, a gym membership and routinely saw my friends and family.

My belief at the time, was that the life I was living was "good", a life a lot of people strived for. I went to university straight out of school, got good grades, a good job and I was climbing that corporate ladder. I went to the gym, ate relatively well, socialised with my friends and routinely caught up with my family. Sounds great, doesn't it?

The problem with this story, with this life I was living, is it didn't align with my values (if you're unsure what your values are, go to https://www.kateastill.com/values to download my FREE guide). 

Upon reflection, this was a life society considered "good". For me, it felt dull, routine and mundane. If I valued security or consistency, I might have felt different. However, I value adventure and spontaneity. To thrive, I need flexibility in my schedule to flow with what inspires me and lights me up.

Values matter because you’re likely to feel better if you’re living according to your values and to feel worse if you don’t. This applies both to day-to-day decisions and to larger life choices. Everybody is different, and what makes one person happy may leave another person feeling anxious or disconnected. Defining your personal values and then living by them can help you to feel more fulfilled and to make choices that make you happy, even if they don’t make sense to other people.

So if you had little to no response to my first question:

• Start by defining your values.
• Notice what content inspires you.
• Notice what content you find dull.
• Become aware of the choices you are faced with each day and if you're choosing a life that aligns or conflicts with your values. 

This can be a daunting exercise. I'm here if you need guidance (contact details below).

On today’s episode I interview my beautiful friend and body positive advocate, Kreete. Positive body image is not believing your body looks good, it’s believing it’s good regardless of how it looks. Kreete spent years obsessively controlling food intake, over exercising and focusing all her energy to shrink her body on to be left exhausted, hungry, out of control with food and socially anxious. Today Kreete shares with us her journey and the road to body positive.

Hello and welcome back to The Strip Podcast with Kate Astill. Today I’ll be bring you a solo episode on personal values.

Living by your personal values sounds easy—at least in theory. Your values, after all, are simply the things that are important to you in life, so it should be natural to live by them.

And yet so many of us don’t consistently live by our values. Have you ever been in any of these situations?

• Someone said or did something that you strongly disagreed with, but you didn’t speak up about it and felt ashamed afterwards.
• You set goals for yourself and then failed to meet them. 
• Your life or career haven’t worked out the way you wanted them to.
• What you want often clashes with what you've got to do or what’s “practical.”
• You’re so busy pleasing other people that you’re not even sure what your own true values are. 

If any of these resonate with you, then this episode will help you. In it, you’ll learn what personal values are and why they’re important. Then we’ll go through all the steps involved in defining and prioritising your values and living by them so that your actions are aligned with your values.

When you live by your values, you feel better about yourself and are more focused on doing the things that are important to you. In this tutorial, you’ll see how to achieve that.

To assist you with this episode I have created a FREE Values workbook that can be downloaded from my website. Head to kateastill.com/values.

Before we dive into today’s episode, I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be stepping forward in my business (and life!) with the Healthstyle Emporium. The HSE is an online holistic health program (check it out here >> www.thehse.net). The HSE program is everything I’m about, combining nutrition with movement and self-love with mindset. 

The HSE partner with Juice Plus. Juice Plus+ is whole food based nutrition, including juice powder concentrates from over 30 different fruits, vegetables and grains in a capsule and chewable form! Juice Plus+ helps bridge the gap between what you should eat and what you do eat every day. Not a treatment or cure for any disease, Juice Plus+ is made from ingredients carefully monitored from farm to capsule to provide natural nutrients (check it out here >> www.juiceplus.com.au). 

When you purchase Juice Plus whole food based capsules, you get FREE access to the online HSE program. Use it as a holistic health hub or online wellness retreat with packages tailored to meet you where you’re at. 

As part of my launch I have 5 spaces available to help women get happier and healthier. We’ve got packages to best suit your goals and budget. This is a way I can support my clients who can’t invest in one on one coaching just yet.

Welcome back! On today’s episode I welcome Ange Simson to strip. Ange is a health and happiness coach, love filled writer/speaker and mum of two beautiful girls. She’s the founder of The Health Hub, a worldwide online health program that is designed to hold your hand as you make long lasting and sustainable changes to your health, mindset and overall wellbeing. She’s also the founder of The Gratitude Gang. On today’s episode Ange strips back her layers to tell us her story and how it’s led to living a life full of gratitude.

Before today’s episode I want to paint a picture.

You're so busy hustling, you're not getting any closer to your dreams. You can't remember the last time you sat down and had a clear mind. You're constantly crowded by thoughts, ideas or things you need to do. You long for time. Time to spend with your family, time to dedicate to your business, time to nourish you.

Does this sound familiar?

WHAT WOULD IT FEEL LIKE TO?
Have clear direction on your future
Take action steps towards your dreams each and every day
Spend time with your family without being crowded by thoughts
Have mental clarity around how to achieve a life you desire
Spend time on your business & passions
Nourish your mind, body and soul

I created my coaching programs when I realised that so many women were neglecting to follow their dreams. I’ve studied this problem for the past 5 years and have found the solution! Learn more > www.kateastill.com/coaching

On today’s episode of The Strip, I’m joined by Lauren Ellis. Lauren is a mum, podcaster, self-care and self-development coach and the creator of The Happy Positive, You Project. After hitting rock bottom, Lauren discovered that she held the power to make changes in her current reality towards the life she desired. In this episode she tells us about her journey and the steps she took towards living a happy, positive life.

Before we get into today’s epsiode, I’d like you to take a couple of deep breaths. All the way down into your belly. Sometimes when we’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed we forget how powerful our breath can be. How powerful it can be to stop, take a deep breath in and out.

In our current circumstances, there is lots of negative energy we can get caught up in. It’s important, now more than ever, to drop back into our energy, our environment, and getting clear on what we desire. On how we want our life to look. And taking action steps towards that life.

At the end of this month, I am hosting 2 MasterClasses. Get Clear About Your Goals and Action Plans & To-Do Lists. In Get Clear About Your Goals we cover goal setting, so the powerful process for thinking about your ideal future, and for motivating yourself to turn your vision of this future into reality. And in Action Plans & To-Do List we get started on your plan towards achieving your goals. I teach you how to create Action Plans & structure your To-Do list so that it works with you, not against you!
