EPISODE – Carla solo episode: The 12 Laws of Living SHOWNOTES The Law of Divine One – everything and everyone is connected. Every thought, action etc affects everyone else. We are all connected subconsciously. We are a part of One and we all want to see others thrive. The Law of Energy/Vibration – everything moves as frequency/vibration and each action and thought has its own frequency. Think positive then more positive things come. The Law of Action – each action will provide a different result. Each action must support our thoughts, dreams and goals for the world. The Law of Correspondence – we are in control of our life, every action we make will be reflected in our outer world and our inner world. Make the internal changes so that the external changes. The Law of Cause and Effect – it is each of our action that creates a reaction. Every statement you make is an example of this Law. What goes around comes around, there is karmic retribution The Law of Compensation – Blessings will come in various forms, money, gifts, friendships etc. Generosity and donations will come back to you. The Law of Attraction – This Law will bring people of things into our life by actions, thoughts or emotions. We use this energy to attract more energy. Once you start to raise your vibration, this will help to raise vibration of things that improve life on your own frequency. The Law of Perpetual Transformation of Energy – this law states that higher vibrations can transform and uplift the lower energies. If you want to create change, you vibrate higher and you let go of the lower energy that keeps you stuck. We want to create the life we desire. The Law of Relativity – in order for us to develop, we have to go through problems while keeping connected to the heart. Whenever we are facing challenges, there are other people worse off. The Law of Polarity – everything has an opposite. We have to experience the ups and downs of life, we have to feel to be sad, so we know what happiness feels like. The Law of Rhythm – everything has a different rhythm in each cycle so it's about getting ready to face the negative part of each cycle so you can recognize some of the things that are negative and then focus on seeing the benefits of this and looking at the positives and also recognizing that this is a cycle. The Law of Gender – this is about yin/yang and masculine/feminine energies. We all possess this. Energy, logic, husting, intellect = masculine energy. Love, patience, gentleness, nurturing etc = feminine energy. Showing and understanding where we can balance this.

When we surrender to this built-in intention in the universe and trust its power, we co-create the lives we desire. This book speaks to the heart. It allows you to feel connected to the universe and its 7 faces — creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansiveness, abundance and receptivity.

The second part of the book lays the foundation of how to manifest your wishes. The author says that if you want to accomplish something, you must first expect it of yourself.

The book is suitable for you if you are open to new age philosophies and learning through anecdotes. Print | eBook | Audio 8. Wisdom of the Ages “This book is not about appreciating poetry and philosophy as much as it is about applying the wisdom of these writers to our everyday lives.” If you have read Wayne Dyer's books before, you will know he is fascinated by teachers who lived before us and likes to quote them in his books. For this book, he selects 60 teachers from a variety of eras and cultures and shares his interpretation of their works. The ancestral masters include Buddha, Michelangelo, Rumi, Whitman, and Jesus.

Alice Williams Bio In a former life, writer Alice Williams worked as a former storyliner on one of Australia's best-loved TV soaps, and is passionate about bringing more diversity to our screens. Alice is now the author of two books, ‘Would it kill you say please?' and ‘Bad Yogi', a memoir about overcoming addiction and teaching yoga. Alice is passionate about the power of storytelling to heal. And in teaching yoga, Alice believes that in shedding light on the hidden ‘shadow' parts of ourselves can be a powerful healing tool. Alice lives in Melbourne with her two children and coaches new authors polish and pitch their manuscripts to publishers. She is currently writing her third book. SHOWNOTES FOR ALICE: Alice's life into yoga came about in a convulated way from feeling a sense of failure in her current job and facing writer's block and her Dad being sick. She had an awakening on Christmas night where she surrendered to the universe and felt like she had to surrender and let go of everything. When Alice was in that “stuck” place she was stuck in a no mans land and was told by her therapist to give things a try and this is where she stumbled into yoga teacher training. One of the things in the course were designed to get in touch with a deeper sense of herself and found this was a way of getting in touch with her body rather than coping her way through food. Alice talks about the 12 steps programme with food and how she felt during the process as she was also doing her yoga teacher training. Alice lost that desire to binge and starve during this time as she learnt to switch off her rationale brain and she connected deeper into her mind and body. Something shifted during this practice where she stripped away everything she believed and let go of things that she was used to and found she went back to writing. The training allowed her to be more like herself. Alice talks about the thinking vs food and how the programme tackles the mindset around food thought and behaviours. Carla and Alice talk about the power of chanting. Alice talks about her second book – the rules of engagement on social media, restaurants, discusses the world of online dating with Carla. Alice's definition of happiness is about being aligned with her inner voice. Alice's morning routine involves getting her kids ready in the morning, a 15 min yoga practice, and journal for 20 mins until her mind is clear, and does a vipassana meditation and get back into her body. Nothing brings Alice more joy than dancing around to music on YouTube and her favourite is Beyonce, she loves having a good belly laugh with a friend and making people laugh whether it's with her book as it gives her a sense of purpose. Her last meal would be anything with seafood and mangoes. Her all-time favourite book is written by Kate Holden: In My Skin.

I’m a Confidence Mindset Coach and Hypnotist, qualified Master NLP practitioner and Hypnotherapist. In my early years I studied as a Performing Artist, working in the industry for several years before taking a change in career to become a yoga instructor and personal trainer. Having worked in the Performing Arts Industry for several years, I wanted to ensure that my health and wellbeing, both mental and physical, was always the best that it could be. When I first started looking for help, I turned to experts, but what I noticed with all these forms of support, was that it always about me: limiting beliefs, self-doubt and occasional unhappiness, so I started to look beyond the external factors and more about what was inside. This drove me to start life coaching. My limiting beliefs, self-doubt and occasional unhappiness have stopped me from being a creator of my life. My passion to help people grow and blossom as individuals has driven my career in life coaching. I am here to support, guide and help you to help yourself; to create the life you have always dreamed of.

EPISODE – ANDY MANT BIOGRAPHY Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of BLUblox, a company specializing in evidence based advanced light filtering eyewear. Andy started BLUblox after becoming dissatisfied with the quality and standards of blue light blocking glasses available and so set about to design lenses that match the evidence in the academic literature. Andy was born in the UK and moved to Australia in 2011. Not long after, Andy found himself gaining a lot of weight, struggling with chronic fatigue, and constantly lacking energy. Traditional dietary approaches only worked to a certain degree and after stumbling across light and its relation to the body, Andy forged a passion and niche in how light can impact the human biological system. Today Andy is a leading figure in how light can affect our health and wellbeing. Through BLUblox, he and his team have developed scientifically-backed advanced light filtering eyewear, that is not being mass produced from a factory in China, but rather their bespoke lenses are manufactured and fitted in Australia, ensuring that each pair is infused with love, care and quality. Andy has utilized his acquired expertise on light and health to educate on the podcasts he has been on. Education is Andy’s number one objective and his previous podcast appearances have not been pitches for his products, but educational content to help empower listeners to create a better light environment and a better life. BLUblox is a brand that truly believes in giving. Through their not-for-profit partnership with Restoring vision they are helping give the gift of sight to those in need with their buy one donate one glasses campaign.   SHOWNOTES Andy is the founder of a company called Blublox a company that creates spectacles that filters out blue and green light to help with improving sleep to increase the amount of melatonin produced. Andy had fun creating the products in the optics lab combining it with the peer reviewed studies to educate patients about the dangers of artificial light. Andy talks about the importance of getting deep, restorative sleep that requires melatonin and talks about the importance of that compared to taking the tablets. His products have helped athletes, entrepreneurs and even mums and dads to help with bringing up children. Blue light is found in two sources - digital devices such as mobiles, tvs, car headlights and the other source is the sun. Some blue light is required to help with increasing your cortisol and serotonin. Blue light can cause cellular damage however in the sun, there is red light that restores the damage but this isn’t present in the artificial blue light. When light passes through the eyes it governs the time it is and entrails your master clock. If you wake up and turn over when you wake up and look at the phone it will tell your brain that it is midday and you miss the morning energy frequency. After sunset, exposing yourself to blue light can keep your brain in a state of wakefulness. This will affect your hormones and circadian rhythms in the future and can be link to chronic conditions like cardiovascular conditions, mental disorders and diabetes for example. Getting natural light into your system in the morning, lunchtime and sunset can help with keeping levels maintained and to give a natural energetic boost when required. Flux and Iris available online can add more red light and reduce then blue light in laptops and computer screens. Himalayan salt lamps near your work station can help. Wearing yellow frequency glasses and keeping an eye on your thyroid can help; even wrapping a silk scarf to prevent then blue light from damaging cells in the thyroid which is the hormonal hub. Animals are also our predecessors for being around this natural light to help. Andy talks about the importance of not wearing sunglasses during the day as they are so dark and can mimic night time. The best thing to do is to assess your natural light exposure and watching the sunrise and blue blocking glasses after sunset is going to help your overall sleep. Andy’s happiness is defined by gratitude and challenges. He spends every morning watching the sunrise and practising mindfulness meditation. The top three sings that make his heart sing are his wife, waking up watching the sunrise and practising mindfulness; and getting emails from people that require his help and receiving their gratitude is overwhelmingly wonderful for him to receive. His fantasy food would be pizza Andy’s all time favourite book is Sapiens and Evolution of mankind. Four hour work week by Tim Ferriss. Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss. The things that is non negotiable for Andy to do is sunrise, mindfulness and manifestation for his daily routine. His manifestation practice involves immersion and for example he and his wife want to live at the ocean so they go to neighbourhoods three to four times a week and imagine what it would be like to be going “home”. The best thing that Andy recommends people can do for their health is to environment, diet, exercise, sleep and mindset. His fantasy dinner guests would be Tom Bilyeau, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, and Tim Ferriss. His theme tune would be The Great Escape theme tune. Good British comedy - Michael McIntyre, Ricky Gervais are his things that make him laugh Andy keeps a gratitude journal to help with keeping those thank you moments special to him and keep the positive vibrations up. How we can help Andy is to tell one person about this podcast or about light and that person can tell someone else because Andy’s message is about empowerment and education.   PROMO CODE: HAPPY to get 15% off products   Things discussed www.blublox.com  

BIOGRAPHY Shannah was one of the first life coaches in Melbourne (studied it 20yrs ago) no one knew what the hell I was talking about. Shannah wanted to coach athletes into retirement. She had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome from totally not looking after myself which lead to depression due to not being able to move my body how I wanted to – hence got a coach and learnt some self-care and mental health coping strategies. Shannah studied mental health coping strategies for the past 10 years and had coaches working on herself, to be the best version of herself. She built a massive executive coaching business as a life strategist so people can perform optimally (with a view to longevity in career) professionally and still develop a life outside work. She lives, manages and works with CFS and depression on a daily basis and has a great life! As a coach - she provides a safe space for people to have real conversations and unpack what is going on in their minds. She helps people manage their own wellbeing; helps people understand that they are not their job, they are a whole person, their job is what they do - not who they are. Take the job away and who are you - you need to build calm confidence in this space. Shannah started on the speaking circuit 15 years ago to bring life and wellness skills to conferences (before my time) and worked with AFL Players, Swimmers, Track athletes. Approached many AFL clubs - too early for my time, they didn’t want to acknowledge coaching or mental health (recently Ken Sheldon apologised to her and said I was just too early for them even though I could see what was happening) – she wanted to teach a skill set for outside competition, skills that would support them outside of game time.  Also coached members of AFL boards would send players to her and not tell anyone else. Shannah’s books are: 1 - Simplify Structure Succeed 2 - The Life Plan (is the biggest and best seller globally) 3 - Chaos to Calm 4 - Shine 5  - Restore 6 - Ignite - coming out in 2020   Joined with a mum from school and formed business #2 - The Essentialists - teachers of life and wellness skills. Product is The Masterclass of Wellness - we present this workshop globally and work for Deloitte/Macquarie/SEEK/Mercedes etc   TOOLS AND TIPS Values based living - people need to know their values Coping Strategies - breathing, meditation, journaling, gratitude, bookends of the day the most powerful Vision creation Goal setting Habits - are the structure, the foundations, the stakes that need to be addressed Train the brain - set your intentions for the day - the brain is your computer that needs programming Taking responsibility and not playing the blame game - we all have a story - need to move on and be the creator of how we want to feel and what we want to create Upskilling - people are happiest when they are learning and engaged. We can now do this through podcasts, audio books, short courses BE CURIOUS AND MAKE A PLAN FOR YOURSELF PICTURE SHOWNOTES Shannah was inspired by the movie “Wall Street” and worked her way up the chain coming straight out of year 12 and became the first woman to be sat at the trading desk. Soon after she decided to go around the world backpacking and when she came back, wasn’t inspired to be in that job anymore. Shannah went into a “Jerry Maguire” sports agent job instead and loved the relationships with her clients, which meant a lot of achievement based living rather than self-care living. At 28, she was diagnosed with CFS and her life had changed. She still suffers with it but manages it well. She noticed a pattern with athletes as many went into retirement in their late twenties – their identity gets lost too and noticed there was a need to look after our own lives and life skills are not taught. Getting into these build questions about happiness, fulfilment and life skills, getting into the nitty-gritty is where the truth of authentic self comes through and Shannah helps people work through things. Shannah discusses how the first and the last hour of the day are critical because you are in charge of it and can tick the boxes of mental, spiritual and physical wellness in that time too. Ultimately it leaves you happy and fulfilled. Shannah’s definition of happiness is finding inner harmony and contentment within herself The thing that makes Shannah’s heart sing is loud music, watching movies and walking on the beach three mornings a week with her husband Home-cooked Italian pasta is Shannah’s fantasy food, her fantasy dinner guests would be Roger Federer, Lisa Wilkinson, and Oprah Winfrey. Exercise is her non-negotiable thing she must do. Creating a plan of what people can do to help their mental, physical, spiritual, emotional and financial plans is a conducive thing to help with routine. “Give me a higher love” with Kygo is Shannah’s theme tune. What can you do to promote more happiness in your life? This is the question that Shannah invites Carla’s listeners to consider!

The skills, techniques and recipes you will learn are for life. The retreat is spectacular and is for all ages. I’m also the creative food director of the global brand GENIUS CAFE, building 50 cafes worldwide. It's a joy to train the next generation of chefs on how to look after themselves and their customer’s ultimate health with what they are serving on the menu. I am an international speaker and presenter on wholefood cooking and eating the way nature intended us to be when it comes to living a thriving energetic life. What makes me crazy is all the confusion out there about what to eat! I want to bring some clarity and realness to your table. I’m a working mum, wife to Scott and a businesswoman. I know how hard it is to find the time to nourish ourselves and our families. I am here to give you everything you need to make your own extraordinary everyday food, from scratch, using real ingredients. I share this knowledge with humans all around the world. Real people. Real ingredients. Food as nature intended. Food is such a special gift, and I love its ability to bring people together and to nourish us on all levels – I love it! I am a big supporter of women's health, gut health and well-being through the way I teach about cooking and eating (taking the bullshit out of eating really). I work alongside Tyler Tolman in his health programs and retreats educating people on making epic dishes from plants that support their ultimate health and taste amazing. Well, that's me.  I can't wait to meet you. Chef Cynthia xx   PICTURE SHOWNOTES Cynthia has been living in Bali since 2012 but grew up in Papua New Guinea Cynthia started off in the food court after being inspired by home cooking with Jamie Oliver and opened up her first fish and chip shop in Hobart, Tasmania After being told she was a talented cook by friends and family she was inspired to become a chef at 34 years old and a single mum to her then 9 year old son. Fueled by her passion she went for her first job as a chef at a health retreat in Queensland and was told she was “too old” and “untrainable”, she persisted and became a first year apprentice cooking for $5/hour. In her training, she was finding that her training involved a lot of processed and refined food and found disillusioned with the way she was taught, again she persisted and became second in command of the kitchen. Cynthia then became a special food/dietary consultant and eventually opened up her own restaurant with her friends. Her path to looking at food and herbs as healing and raw food diets then became the quest for her and becoming a face for wellness and health of wholefood, plant-based diets on the media internationally. Cynthia’s definition of happiness is waking up and feeling into the potential. Cynthia’s first thing she does as her routine is asking herself, why she does the things she does and goes for a 5km walk. The top things that make Cynthia’s heart sing is growing, being aware, and reflecting and asking herself if she can change and evolve. She loves training chefs and sending them into the next phase of their lives. Cynthia’s last meal on Earth would be rice, olive oil, broccoli and salt! Cynthia believes the best thing we can do for our health is asking yourself where your mindset is. Are you thriving on negative or positive thoughts? How do you harness your potential? Cynthia’s dinner guests would be her son, her husband and dear friends Her theme song is “Coming in from the cold” by Bob Marley The things that make her laugh out loud are her family and friends Her gratitude practices includes thanking herself for being alive and being grateful   THINGS DISCUSSED Website: https://www.chefcynthialouise.com/ Instagram: @chefcynthialouise1 YouTube: Chef Cynthia Louise
