Show Notes: Internationally acclaimed and certified Raw Food Chef my passion is to one by one to educate the masses on how they can take their health to the next level by concentrating on Whole-foods & Self Care Principles.In reality this will benefit most people profoundly in many ways both internally and externally, and effectively we empowering individuals to be able to be self sufficient with regard to their medical problems and treatments as well.I have had my own health journey which I have gained valuable knowledge from. Over the years and from a very young age I have always battled with my weight and in turn the bullies at school who used to tease me about it.I have tried every diet known to man and they don't work. They are simply written for the people who have had success using them and no one else. My latest weight loss challenge was to loose 23 kg to bring me from 86kg down to 63kg. I have held this weight now for 2 years using simple techniques that others can adopt and change to suit themselves.Using my mentor and friend Don Tolman’s (The Wholefood Medicine Cowboy) Wisdom and Knowledge, and Guidance, I strive to empower people with the knowledge they need to achieve their ultimate health, and help them put an individual program together to help them achieve their goals and not other peoples goals.I believe that food should come from nature and not the chemist, and your body deserves the very best you can give it. After all your “Health is your true Wealth in Life”!We all need to eat the best foods that we can, but is equally important (in order to get the fullest benefit out of the food we consume), how we prepare the food.This is where I excel at coming up with simple, easy, and time effective ideas. I currently share my wisdom and my knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. To date I have appeared at many events around the country and overseas, and many have commented after seeing her live, that they have gone away with much more knowledge than they ever thought they would obtain.At Rawsome Wholefoodie we are dedicated to raising Humanities Self Care Awareness through the use of Whole Foods, re establishing a Positive Connection with your Body, and Healthy Living Principles.

My role at the beginning of the year was as Client Services Director at a creative agency. I was uninspired and frustrated with decisions that didn't reflect my values or employee management ethos, but didn't want to leave my teams 'on their own'. I set to work to make all the changes I knew would set the team up for a fair start, and left - every single message on the leaving card said 'thank you' :) I had a lightbulb moment walking to work one day - halfway over Pyrmont Bridge - when I realised Coaching was what I wanted to do. I had no qualifications only experience, no real understanding of the industry but I knew, I just knew, that this was it.  I handed in my notice and left my high paying job with the aim of starting my own business as a Coach & Mentor.  I went back ‘to school’ (which I was never very good at the first time round!), but excelled as I knew the subject, I was good at it and I was soaking it all up and then using the information immediately in my coaching assignments.  I had to find clients, and so reached out to my networks and offered some free career coaching sessions for exaperience and study. My inbox was flooded. The first four were my first clients, and are now paying clients who have been on a great journey with me over the last few months.  Suddenly after having managed teams, and been surrounded by 40-200 people, I had to do the finance, the website, the travel bookings – some fun, some not so much...  As all women do, I questioned myself - Can I do this, am I doing it right?  But then I’ve seen the people I coach changing – from their posture, to their outlook, to their disposition. Is there a better ‘goal’ for a day at work than that??  Within the first two months I was receiving feedback like this and I knew I was on the right track “Ever heard the expression "You can't see the wood for the trees"? I was in that position until I met Kate and she put the trees in priorities for me and showed me my worth and achievements. My life is back in control! Thanks Kate!”  It took me 15 years to find what I really wanted to do outside advertising, with no real answer for ‘what is your passion’ – now I have found it and 2015 will be a big year!  I am 100% driven to help women focus, set and achieve their goals.

Caylie Price is the owner of Better Business Better Life where she helps online entrepreneurs develop list building and sales funnel strategies that help her peeps make serious moolah with increased profit margins and rapid growth. Helping clients triple and quadruple their lists in less than three months? She’s done it over and over. Sell out every month since launch, six-months running? No problem. In the corporate world that passion translated to teaching business for the University of Ballarat and online marketing for the Australian Government. She’s used her marketing expertise to turn a failing business incubator into a thriving success. Even as a child, Caylie was always reading business books and coming up with yet another business idea. Her sisters swore she was bossy but Caylie called it ‘sharing.’ Should you ever lose track of Caylie,  just look to the nearest paddock, you’ll probably find her in pink polka-dot gumboots, ear glued to the phone talking business strategy while fighting off calves as she mixes their feed. Just don’t try telling her you can’t run a successful business from the bush.
