In this episode we talk about “choosing positivity”. Not the easiest of tasks when there is a world health pandemic happening, not the easiest of tasks when the media is heightening fear, not the easiest of tasks when there is so much negativity on your Facebook feed.

In this episode we talk about how “Sexy is a mindset”. As women we have been conditioned to believe that there is something wrong with us. That we need to be “perfect”. That we need to have a specific sized body .. whatever that size may be .. to be viewed as sexy.

In this episode we talk about “But what if I fail?" Firstly I want to bring up something that I personally have been feeling over the past few months. Anxiety. I've heard of and personally worked with people who get anxiety so bad that it can be debilitating and as much as my heart went out to them, I could never quite understand or grasp the concept of feeling that feeling.

In this episode we talk about “Watching your self-talk”. Have a bit of a think. What emotions do you have when you speak to yourself?

In this episode we talk about “Why your gut health is so important”. Our gut is the second most important brain in our bodies. Some even say that it is our most important brain and that can be looked upon quite favourably. We are what we eat they say! And “they” are most certainly correct!

In this episode we talk about the all important beauty topic  “Your skin needs TLC too” It's no secret that we shout form the rooftops just how important self-care is and now more than ever. Looking after your body inside and out and giving yourself some TLC will always and forever be a very positive task.

In this episode we talk about “The noise”. Can you hear that? Listen. Hear that? No not that, the one thing that you are meant to hear right now .. but you can't because of all the noise. Right here right now, there is so much noise. The media, your Facebook timeline, your Instagram feed, Donald Trump, the radio, your parents, your best friends. And you can forgive yourself right now if you are thinking that you just want to hide under your doona and come back out when this is all over. 

In this episode we chat about something so very important right now  “Do not compromise your authenticity”. Authenticity requires vulnerability, transparency and integrity. It's hard at the best of times to be who we really are and who we really want to be. To live a life on our terms, with our own beliefs, our own hopes, dreams, goals and outlook on life. This is what makes us all special, all unique and all different in the way we live our lives.

In this episode we talk about “how to boost your immune system right now!” It's safe to say that lot of us are feeling the feels at the moment and we are coming to the harsh reality on just how important our health is.

Our health is what protects us mentally and physically and whether you are feeling the moody blues, increased stress and anxiety or the nasty sniffles at the moment, please know that there are things that you can do for your body to help immensely.

In this episode we talk about “Connection”. Have you ever been feeling really low and depressed and just felt down right sad and lonely? But here you are on another Friday night with your bottle of wine, your pizza and Netflix and even the thought of going out or having human interaction gives you crazy pangs of anxiety. And then on the other hand have you ever been feeling a bit glum and then had plans for dinner with your girlfriends that night and automatically feel so much better and more energised and happy?

In this episode we want to talk about “What do you need to pay more attention to?” In today's world as we know it .. it's so much more fast paced than it was 20-30 years ago right? It's so ridiculously easy to get caught up in the all the hype around us, compare ourselves to others, overthink situations and be a 100% worry wart. We go by day to day not even paying attention to our thoughts, our feelings, we just glide by .. limiting our beliefs .. tuning into negativity more so now that humans ever have!

In this episode we talk about “Your self-love checklist” Do you need a bit of a boost in the self-love department? Self-love is the most important thing that we as humans need to learn and self-love sadly, most of us just don't know! There is no right or wrong definition of self-love, self-love is the things that we do as humans to make us happy.

In this episode we talk about “positive energy”. Everything is energy. Energy is powerful enough to create your success or it can have the opposite effect and help you fail. We all have an “energy” around us and this energy can easily be effected by any elements.

In this episode we talk about “commitment” First and foremost commitment never means that you need to be perfect. There really is no such thing as “perfect” to begin with. So remove that word from your vocabulary immediately! But what does commitment mean? Commitment means to decide on something and making a choice to follow through with that decision.

In this episode we talk about our new campaign  “Love being you”In a  growing world of negativity, comparison and jealousy I can not even shout from the rooftops loudly enough on how so very important it is to love being you!

In this episode we talk about “Why we want people to like us. The majority of us really do actually care about what people think about us, what they say about us and how they feel about us. There is a reason why we want people to like us. We are wired and conditioned that way. Our biology as humans.. needs connection. It's one of or very important human needs.

In this episode we talk about “Negative beliefs”. When we sit back and really look at it - we live in a pretty negative world. Our manner of expression, our expectations, even our way of interacting with one another is largely negative. With all this negativity all around us all the time, it's not rocket science that we develop negative beliefs.

In this episode we talk about “beliefs” Our behaviour, from our habits down to the things we do spontaneously, as well as how we perceive the world around us, are all based upon our beliefs. These beliefs cover many areas in our lives, including religious beliefs, beliefs we have about ourselves and beliefs we have about society in general. We go through life forming these beliefs for everything we come into contact with.

In this episode we talk about “toxins”. So let's talk about the T word. Unfortunately toxins are unavoidable in our world today; air pollution, chemicals on our food, the depleted soils that our food is grown in, pharmaceuticals, plastics and even skin care products, The list really does go on.  

In this episode we talk about “how what we eat can boost our self-love”. Did you know that certain foods can be mood boosting? Put simply, some enzymes found in our food actually boost our serotonin levels.

In this episode we talk about the importance of “self-care”. Self-care is important to maintain a healthy relationship with yourself as it produces positive feelings and boosts your confidence and self-esteem. Also, self-care is necessary to remind yourself and others that you and your needs are important too!

In this episode we talk about how “you are what you eat”. How many times have you heard this? You are what you eat. But how many more times are you willing to hear it or sweep it under the carpet until you finally get slapped across the face with a cold wet fish or the universe shakes you saying “YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!!”

In this episode we talk about “your 5 daily reminders” It's super easy to cruise along on this path that we call life. It's also super easy to forget that we as humans, are incredible! We have the power to live the most incredible lives full of love full of happiness, fully of joy,  yet we forget to tell ourselves often enough just how amazing we actually are.

In this episode we talk about how “We are creatures of habit” We've spoken about forming daily success habits .. but where do habits come from? How do we form them and how do we change them?

In this episode we talk about “Daily success habits”. You have probably heard it a million times over, but we're going to tell you again … To be successful in any area of your life you need to create successful habits and repeat them daily. 

In this episode we talk about evolving to love our bodies and ourselves. Why bodyloveEVOLUTION? Evolution – a noun - The gradual development of something. Learning to love yourself for who you are, learning to love your body, learning to love the good, the bad and the ugly … is a constant work in progress. We start small and we EVOLVE as we grow, change, develop and continue to modify ourselves as women, as humans and as our own unique selves.

In this episode we talk about “feeling accepted”” Having a sense of belonging is a common feeling for us to have. Belonging means acceptance. Belonging means that we feel valued and appreciated. A sense of belonging is a human need just as much as having a need for security, certainty and food on the table.

In this episode we talk about “What will you do about it” It's the beginning of a new week. You have 7 days which is 168 hours - - -10,080 minutes  -  and 604,800 seconds all ahead of you. You have woken up fresh on a Monday morning with the “I'll start today” attitude. So what exactly are you going to do about it? Do you have a plan? Do you have the determination to succeed? After all you tell yourself every single week .. I'll start on Monday. Am I right?

In this episode we talk about “Just going for it”. When was the last time you went all chips in on yourself? All chips in on your ideas and your goals? Starting something that you have always wanted to start. A new healthy eating regime. New fitness goals. A new career path, Starting a new hobby. You know what you want .. you know WHY you want it .. you may have a plan on how you are going to achieve it. But there's just one problem .. you are scared to start. 

In this episode we talk about “Doing it for you” Are you constantly doing things to impress other people? Maybe you constantly do things to be a people pleaser or to be liked by others? Maybe you do things for others rather than for yourself a little bit too much? So ask yourself this? What is it that you truly desire? What are your hopes, your goals and your dreams? Is there something really big that you want to achieve?

In this episode we talk about “The want factor”. There's a very big difference between “wanting” something and needing “something”. Both are emotional states that you really need to be aware of. If you are on the path to attracting what you want, you must be very careful not to allow yourself to slip into the state of “neediness".

In this episode we talk about “The FEAR factor”. But then we have the OTHER SIDE of fear .. the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of not being good enough. You know this fear right? Of course you do!

In this episode we talk about “5 reasons on why it is worth it to become a diamond” Firstly what is a diamond? The dictionary defines a diamond as: a precious stone consisting of a clear and colourless crystalline form of pure carbon, the hardest naturally occurring substance. And how is a diamond made? Temperature and PRESSURE. Something so beautiful and valuable is formed through PRESSURE.

In this episode we talk about “Self Doubt 101” I have doubted myself, my appearance, my ability, my everything. I never thought I was ever enough. And my choices in my past reflected that self-doubt. So it's very close to my heart to talk to you all about self doubt and not really believing in yourself. Not looking in the mirror and smiling back at the person you see. Showing up day in and day out without believing that you are ever enough or that you are a burden to other people.

In this episode talk about “Reinventing yourself”. Have you ever woken up one morning and thought to yourself that life just isn't going according to plan, that you just aren't quite the person you want to be and have so much you want to achieve, change or succeed at? Well you certainly aren't alone and this realisation could be just the ticket to change and living your best life yet!

We all need to start somewhere right? But are you one of those people that kicks yourself or gets a bit flat and down when you just don't quite succeed as quickly as you had hoped? It's so important to remind yourself that failure is OK. That being bad at something at first is OK. That falling down and wanting to quit is OK. But it's more important to remember to get back up, keep peddling, keep moving forward and in the words of one of favourite fish, to: “just keep swimming”.

In this episode talk about “the power of visualising success” Can you really use your thoughts to achieve your goals and attract the success you want? Did you know that our brains are actually incapable of differentiating between perceived progress and actual progress. Both setbacks and achievements cause emotional effects.

In this episode we talk about “self confidence”. What exactly is self confidence? The dictionary states self confidence as “realistic confidence in ones own judgement, ability and power. Self confidence is purely and simply BEING YOU! Your own authentic self. Self confidence is also defined as inner balance and inner harmony and I believe it is s very important for absolutely all of us to find their inner confidence. Inner confidence can help you achieve more out of life, to live in a positive light, to react more positively to certain situations ad to attract what we desire.

In this episode talk about “Getting back your power”If you are to type into GOOGLE “how to stop giving your power away” the results are endless. This must mean that this is something that we all do quite often. Maybe without even knowing that we are doing it.

In this episode talk about “Outside influence”. Are you easily led? Do you consciously or even subconsciously seek other people's approval and rely on their opinions and guidance? Do you take on their advice as gospel?  

In this episode we ask the question “Are you comfortably miserable?” So many people are living in comfortable misery. You know this place yeah? Are you sitting right on the edge of making a life change but decide to stay right here in your comfy spot instead? It's so warm and cosy here. Yeah you are a bit miserable, yeah some days are huge let downs, yeah you know you need to just take that first step to change your life. But it's oh so comfy right here!

In this episode we ask the question “Are you a people pleaser?”  I am currently reading “How two stop feeling like sh*t” By Andrea Owen. Andrea, based in North Carolina in the US is a fellow podcaster, international speaker and retreat leader. A refreshing and tactful part of the life-coaching world and is also the author of 52 ways to live a kick-ass life. After first picking up her book, you can be forgiven for thinking it's a 190 page recipe bible on how to feel a little healthier … nope! it is so much more! Andrea has a blunt, yet 100% spot on way of telling us what we need to hear. There are definitely MANY face palm moments within the book!

In this episode we talk about “Where are you going?” Where are you going with your life? Have you asked yourself this question recently? If not at all? Many people travel through life without any particular direction. They go from day to day just trying to make it by, and without even knowing where they are going.

In this episode we talk about truly believing in that “You belong” Do you ever get those overwhelming feelings of self doubt Those overwhelming feelings that you just don't belong. Whether it's in your friendship circle, your work circle, your sporting team. You just can't help but shake the feeling that you aren't quiet good enough and that you don't belong in those circles or in that environment.

In this episode we talk about how “The Four Agreements” Written by Don Migual Ruiz The Four Agreements speaks to it's reader about the importance of four key areas of belief and action and reveals the source of self limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless internal suffering. The idea of the four agreements is focused 100% on you. You can only control yourself and only honour yourself.

In this episode we talk about how “It's OK to have a bad day” OK so you want to remain positive, upbeat and happy and have so many plans, goals and things to get done! BUT … it's just not your day. Everything appears to be going wrong, you are feeling emotional and every little thing that is happening or that is said to you is making you feel .. well .. a bit ..

In this episode we talk about “Your WHY!” What drives you? What gets you out of bed in the morning? What puts that fire in your belly and pushes you to succeed? Is it your family, your career, your fitness, your children? Your partner? Do you even have a WHY!?

In this episode we talk about “Changing your routine” Are you stuck? Do you feel like you are plodding along one day at a time. Sometimes not even knowing what direction your headed in? Sometimes feeling like you are just going around in circles and beating the beat of the drum?

In this episode we talk about “Deserving what you desire” Do you truly hand on heart believe in your goals? Do you truly hand on heart believe that you can achieve that promotion, building that business or losing those unwanted kilos.Do you believe that you deserve all of what you want to achieve in life? I bet most of you answered no.

In this episode we talk about “Being grateful”. It's so easy to get swept up into thoughts about “what we don't have “what we wish we had” “what we yearn for”. If you stop and take a good look, these triggers are all around us, in marketing, on social media, on billboards, on TV, on the radio. Society helps to make us think that “we need more” that what we have is not enough. We want what they are having.
