Don't you think it's wild how normalised (healthy) conflict is in romantic relationships, yet when it comes to our friendships, it's barely spoken about, let alone thought of as a positive quality. Here to do some debunking and storytelling is my bestie, Kristina. Within this episode we share an example of conflict we moved through in our friendship as well as our opinions on how female centred friendships in particular can benefit from some healthy conflict from time to time.@selfwithlisaclarkeThis seasons sponsor is VIVA Life! Check them out here.

Up until the 1970's the words 'controlling' and 'woman' were never used in conjuction with one another. In this episode we take a look back to that time to see what caused the word 'control' to be not only gendered, but thought of as a negative quality. Oh, prepared to be outraged. Conversation markers: Present day example that prompted this conversationThe narrative on control and the histroy behind its shift in meaning Understanding what might make someone controllingPOSITIVES OF CONTROLLeaving you with the opportunity to get reflective on your own bias (rather what you have been taught!!) and how you can begin to think more positive about that healthy drive within you to be heard, and create impact or influence. @selfwithlisaclarkeThis seasons sponsor is VIVA Life. 

This week we are talking about a topic we should not stop talking about anytime soon: Women's Health.For this conversation we warmly welcome, Sheree Boyd-Smith to the Self Podcast. The touchstones of this conversation include;Sheree's diverse nursing experience and her experiences within these areas of the medical industryMedicine and Holistic approach to healthFemale focused medical studies (rather, the lack of!) throughout historyAdvocacy, education and supportFemale health professionals paving the wayMental + physical health during pregnancy/ childbirth/ postpartum/ menopauseThe respect of Women within all the above topicsSheree referenced a podcast during our chat referencing Dr Mary Claire Harver, which I have linked here.

Okay so I have already abandoned my initial intention of one world punchy titles for this season - but thats okay, no rules here and anyway I could not sum up this convo in one word.Super pumped to offer the first episode of our story telling season with a conversation on Mothers through the generations with my Mum, Pauline.Our conversation blooms around four major conversation points:Differences of Mothering in 1954 (my Grandmother), 1989 (my Mother) and 2022 (me). Think expectations, support, co-parenting, education and lifestyle in all 3 generations. We came across some alarming parallels. Learning to advocate for yourself as a (human being and) Mother in your relationship.Gender roles and their expiration date.Respecting Women, respecting Mothers.Please note there are themes of Domestic Violence spoken about in this episode.

Are you exhausted of people pleasing, moving through the world in low worth, and/or allowing your inner crictic to steer your ship?Understanding your growth through the many lenses that are available to you (that you may just not know about.... yet) is an empowering and libertating act. It is also an act of great care and understanding for the self.Join me in today's episode, where we put our party hats on and celebrate our growth - not the perfect growth that happens in a neat line - the messy AF kind of growth, that you don't actually know is growth until someone reminds you to be on the look out for it.Enjoy!

EPIC and important conversation today as we are joined once again by Millie Mickle (you may remember her from season 5).In this 1 hr 45 m podcast ep, these are the points we discuss:Gender and sexual fluidityCan you be friends with an ex?What to do if my partner isn't into my kinks?Thoughts on open relationships, polyamory and monogamyThe importance of dismantling sexual identity labelsUnderstanding consentThe book Millie is referencing at the end of the episode can be found hereLet me know your feedback on this one - i'd love to hear it.Lisa www.selfwithlisaclarke.com@selfwithlisaclarke

Usually we try to avoid, numb or at the very least ignore our shame, guilt, and inner critic. If we avoid, numb or ignore for long enough - it will go away, right?What if you, in your own time, acknowledged these parts of you, and listened to what they have to say. Asking question's such as "What experience made you this way?" "Why do you continue to be this part?" "What would you be if you were not this part?". You may be surpised at the parts responses.In today's episode I am sharing a book that has been life changing for me, and is completely revolutional in how you connect with yourself.Enjoy,Lisa www.seflwithlisaclarke.comwww.instagram.com/selfwithlisaclarke

You do sort of think - who needs a reminder to breath? It happens autonomously, meaning that its an automatic function in the body that happens without conscious thought. But what good comes from unconscious thinking I'll ask you? The thing is, most of us aren't breathing deeply or slowly enough for optimal wellbeing, so together today, we are carving out 3 minutes to simply breathe. Reach for this mini meditation whenever you need it. CONNECT:website - www.selfwithlisaclarke.comsocials - www.instagram.com/lisacclarke
