What's the difference between baby blues and postpartum depression? How normal are intrusive thoughts? And what does motherhood do to our identity as women? While there's a lot of focus on the physical side of birth, the emotional side of pregnancy, birth and postpartum is often left to the last minute – once mama is already living with mental health issues. I dive deep in this episode with Dr Tess Browne, mum of two & Clinical Psychologist, into navigating AND normalising Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADS) Tess specialises in trauma and perinatal mental health.

My childhood was filled with TCM. My mom was always spoon-feeding me healing soups and bringing me to TCM practitioners – I begrudgingly drank all the bad-tasting medicine they'd prescribe. But... they worked! And I still practice them today. Until recently, people in the west found TCM quite strange. These days it's everywhere, but there's still a lot of mystery surrounding it.  In this conversation with Master Ruth, registered TCM practitioner & acupuncturist, we dive into what exactly TCM is and how these potent practices can assist women with fertility, prenatal & post-partum care, weight loss, pain management, anti-ageing and feeling truly healthy and youthful. She shares countless tips & insights on how to balance your chi, so be ready to take notes!  Connect with Master Ruth on Instagram @masterruthlee and her website www.masterruth.com Check out her book Soft Touch of Tiger Moms Connect with me on Instagram @heanney and my website www.heanney.com 

I'll be honest. I really struggled to record this episode. 2020 was one of the most rewarding years of my life. I ticked off so many goals and have grown so much – personally, financially and spiritually. Reflecting back, I am very proud and have so much to celebrate. So when the stars rotated into 2021, I assumed I could just keep riding this wave, to continue to kicking goals and keep feeling inspired. Wow, was I wrong! In this episode, I get really honest about what's happening with me right now, how I finally uplevelled my life in 2020, and my first BIG ah-ha moment of 2021. I also share all the exciting details about my new group coaching program, ‘Body Love & Freedom', what you can expect from this podcast in 2021, and how I can help YOU create your very best life.

I was pinching myself after recording this episode with Alexandria, that I am fortunate enough to connect with incredible women like her. Alexandria is an empowerment coach and business mentor for aspiring entrepreneurs. She has an incredibly inspiring story simply because it is so relatable, especially in times like these. When so many of us are reassessing the jobs we are working in or realising their jobs no longer serve them. Many others have unfortunately lost their jobs and are living in fear… In this episode, Alexandria and I went super deep talking about how to navigate through redundancy during COVID and taking those first steps to leave your 9-5, work through fears of the unknown and come back to a place of alignment in your life.

It has been just over a decade since smartphones entered our lives, but we're beginning to suspect that their impact on our lives might not be entirely good. We feel busy but ineffective. More connected than ever, yet just as lonely. The same technology that gives us a taste of freedom can also feel like a leash and it raises the question of who's actually in control. We all love our phones, but we often hate the way they make us feel. And no one seems to know what to do about it. The problem isn't smartphones themselves and I share what the problem actually is and why these boundaries can help you cultivate a better relationship with your phone.    If you think of anybody who would benefit from this episode, please share the love.

I have been working with a business mentor this year, and I have to say, not only has my business grown and also in the direction that I always dreamed of. I have also grown spiritually and mentally in a way I did not expect going into business coaching. I actually thought that working with a business mentor meant structures and strategies and financial plans but it has been quite a self development journey so far and it's been around mindset. I am still a long way to go but you know me by now, I am all about sharing my tips and tricks, tools and experiences ESPECIALLY when they lead you to live the life that you desire! In this episode, Rachel and I go deep around manifestation and abundance 101. Think money mindset, lightwork and shadow work, how to attract more financial abundance, how spirituality and wealth go hand in hand, the steps and the tools to manifesting the life you TRULY desire. Rachel wears many different hats, she is a mother, an abundance and mindset coach, an ocean-loving yogi, retreat owner, a clear seer and speaker of truth, an eternal student and wellness advocate, a wisdom keeper with a deep-seated passion for living an abundant, integral and aligned life.

This is a very personal and intimate conversation with my bestest friend in the entire world; my husband. We took a trip down memory lane as he shares his journey with Type 1 Diabetes so far. This is not just for somebody who has this condition, this is an educational and inspiring conversation around health. Conrad Banks was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 29, and I will never forget the day we all found out the news. It was a complete shock to us all, especially when back then, we all associated this disease with being unhealthy and overweight which Conrad was far from. As a family, we all felt the pain and the challenges Conrad was facing, especially being a Pilot which is a career most type 1 diabetics have to give up in Asia. Conrad has come so far since then, and I have watched my husband take on this disease like a champ! Fast forward to today (over 3 years later), he continues to thrive with this disease, he has never looked better and he inspires me every single day with his outlook on life and how he never allows Diabetes to define him or the life he wants to live. In this conversation: Conrad shares his early years before he was diagnosed and what his childhood looked like in terms of lifestyle and diet The symptoms that he was experiencing leading up to the diagnoses and The longest and most stressful weekend of his life, waiting for his results The shocking news of being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and how he coped with it The process he went through after the diagnoses and how it led him to go against the traditional route of managing diabetes How this disease can end his career as a pilot How in 2 weeks he managed to get himself off insulin injections and managed his blood sugar levels through his diet What he learned from educating himself on this disease and experimenting with diets and lifestyle changes The role exercise plays in managing his blood sugar levels and how certain workouts affected his sex drive ( yes we went there!) What his diet looks like today and how his lifestyle has completely changed for the better How he has never looked better and I COMPLETELY AGREE! and THERE IS SO MUCH MORE!

Kimberly is a nutritionist and naturopath and her approach is practical, empathic, holistic, yet scientific. Her experience within the field of health is exceedingly varied and thorough, as she has immersed herself in diverse health ventures in Australia and Indonesia. ​ In the episode, Kimberly and I dive deep into all things women's health, in particular around topics we are not educated on or talk about enough, including common conditions such as endometriosis, period pains, diabetes, loss of periods, hormone imbalances. I have learned so much through this conversation, and I really suggest you take our your notebooks because this is not just for somebody who struggles with hormones, but it is an educational conversation around women's health in general.   You don't want to miss out on: The struggles as a mom during this lockdown in Australia. Kimberly openly shares about her journey with endo and how she is managing with this condition right now. How many many women go through many years without any symptoms and therefore not knowing they have this condition. What is endometriosis laparoscopy and how this procedure is used to remove endometriosis - important information! She shares her procedure in 2013 and how she has managed without surgery but holistically to prevent regrowth. She now helps clients treat endo through herbal medicine, nutrition, and other alternative medicine that she promotes. What you should ALSO look out for if you have endometriosis and the symptoms to look out for. This is important to know - Period pain is COMMON but it is NOT NORMAL. Kimberly elaborates on this along with other pains you may experience that is not normal. Have you heard of the ‘endo bloat'? Kimberly explains more on this… How women may have zero symptoms but struggle from infertility. I ask Kimberly why some of us experience period pains and what CAN we do to improve that? What are the natural supplements and herbs we can take to help ease the pain? We also chatted in-depth about women who have lost their period and WHAT that means, as well as what you can do.

This episode was recorded during the peak of the pandemic, and it continues to be relevant if not more with today's world events unfolding. This conscious conversation is all about taking ownership of your life and your thoughts, the power we all have to shift our perspective, the importance of that especially around challenges in life, and how it can completely change the way we experience life - take out your notepads because you're going to want to make some notes! Our conversation reminds me of exactly why I wanted to start this podcast, just two girlfriends sharing a deep conversation about their life journey so far, and walking away from feeling uplifted and inspired. The funny thing is before this episode, Janith and I never met in person but of course, we connected soon after and had a 3 hours long soulful chat which thinking back, I wish we recorded for another episode :) Janith is a life coach and yoga teacher. Her vision is to empower others to uncover their light and live their most joyful, fulfilled, authentic, and purposeful lives. After graduating magna cum laude from Cornell University, Janith went on to excel in a career of business and fashion in New York and Hong Kong. Yet, despite a stimulating and rewarding career, Janith still felt a sense of unfulfillment. Once Janith finally uncovered her life purpose statement, “I am here to be my brightest self and to help others stand in their light,” that was the catalyst for her to begin her journey as a life coach in order to fully live into her purpose. You don't want to miss out on: How Janith quit her full-time job to become a yoga instructor and life coach She shares her life purpose statement which is SO BEAUTIFUL. What fears came up for her when she decided to quit her job Her journey searching for her sense of fulfilment A huge turning point while she was working at Lululemon How Lululemon became the impactful shift that she needed to feel aligned with the path she is on How her life purpose statement came to her in a meditation the moment she felt like she was finally stepping into her power The stages she went through mentally when COVID 19 first hit and when she realised she needed to shift her perspective. The stories in her head that were keeping her in a fearful state of mind and she goes through exactly how she shifts her perspective on each of them What stages she practises kept her sane through this pandemic How she keeps mindful of her ‘news' consumptions I share what I have observed in a lot of people around me and how they have allowed this pandemic to consume their thoughts and how it has affected them A recent practise she learnt from Yale's Science of Wellbeing course on ‘savouring' which amplifies her gratitude practice - this is one of the biggest takeaways for me! THREE of the most powerful lessons she has learnt so far…MUST LISTEN! “done is better than perfect” a mantra I have learnt from this conversation that I remind myself almost on a daily Janith's Book recommendation: Eckhart Tolle's The power of now.
