The Unmasked Podcast

Welcome back. Today I have a guest on to talk all about food, our relationship with it and how it can affect many different areas of our life. Tayla is a mind, body and eating coach who through her own healing journey discovered just how common disordered eating is and now she is on a mission to help everyone feel worthy in their bodies, improve their relationship with food and regain confidence along the way. We talk about how dieting culture is normalised in society and how it actually does more damage then good. Tayla also breaks down the difference between binge eating, emotional eating and over eating. It all starts with awareness and this is a great episode for that. So have a listen and let us know what you think.

I'm back! It's been a while in between podcasts but I am very excited to be back with you. I have kept this podcast very specific to what I am going through right now and that is to talk about not giving up on your dreams. I have had a lot of dreams come true in the past couple of months and they have all happened just when I was ready to quit. You have desires inside of you for a reason and you should keep chasing after those dreams until they are reality. Even when you face set backs and rejection around every corner. Everything happens for a reason. Learn from those mistakes, ask for help from people who have gone before you and keep backing yourself. The feeling you feel when you finally have your dreams come true is literally THE BEST! And you all can feel it, just keep pushing forward. I hope you enjoy this episode. The Netflix show I talk about in this episode is ‘Love Sex & Goop.' I highly recommend it. Let me be your cheerleader, reach out to me on Instagram @unmaskedwithcaitlyn

You will hear Sammy's journey from drinking from a young age, becoming known as the party girl and to now being sober for over two years. We also get into how alcohol affects other things like dating, sex, hobbies and figuring out who you are underneath it all. I especially love the digression to the bedroom.

Hello family and welcome back. Today's guest is the beautiful Sophh. She is a photographer who has gone from travel blogging, to photographing food to now empowering women by capturing the beauty of their natural bodies in solo and group photoshoots. I booked a photoshoot with her and the whole experience was beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I got Sophie on to share her journey with photography, and to unmask any assumptions there are around booking photoshoots. We also dive deep into comparison, the good and bad side of social media, self-sabotage, finding passion in your work and seeing others as who they are and not as competition. We cover a lot in this conversation, I am excited to share it with you. Photoshoots are not just for models or people with businesses, they are a self-love practice. They allow you to be seen, to be the center of attention and to be in a space without judgement. It shows your body through a different perspective, which is so refreshing and needed when we are constantly critiquing ourselves. It also allows you to step out of your comfort zone in a safe space. It is so much more than a photoshoot and I cannot recommend working with Sophh enough! So let's get into it. Let us know what you think, share this podcast and tag Sophh and I so we can see. Also if you want to book a photoshoot, take the leap! We are there to support you, you won't regret it.

Welcome back to the Unmasked podcast. This short episode if just a little motivational chat to maybe give you the push to look at your life and see if you are living is the one you want to be. I had a friend pass away recently which brought everything into perspective for me. Life is unpredictable, challenging and uncontrollable at times but what we can control is our minds and how we want to live our life. If we are doing things that don't make us happy we can change them. The only constant in life is change, we can change things that that are no longer aligning with us. In this podcast I talk about how we should be facing our fears and trying new things. Not letting the fear of failure or fear of embarrassment stop us. Chase sparks of excitement and passion. Start living the life you want to live! Sending lots of love to everyone who has lost someone close to them. We should be living our lives to the fullest for them x Resource Find me on Instagram www.instagram.com/unmaskedwithcaitlyn

Welcome back. Today's episode is about unmasking the shame I have felt as a woman, specifically the shame and disconnect around my vulva. Men this episode if for you as well, not only listeners with vulvas. My aim for this podcast is to start normalizing not only conversations around vulvas but also normalizing shapes, size, smell, periods and discharge. All are things that I have felt embarrassment for in the past. I talk about different events that lead me to feel disconnected and I share these to raise awareness to issues in our society. This is not an episode to point blame but one to bring us together, help us all feel accepted. I have been doing a lot of work to reconnect to myself and by doing so it has given me power, confidence and acceptance. This is all my personal experiences which I am sharing in case you have had similar experiences, hopefully this conversation allows you to see that you are not broken and do not need changing. Everybody is beautiful the way they are and I hope that by listening to this podcast you begin to see that.

Welcome back to the Unmasked Podcast. Today's guest is Dry but Wet creator Amy Armstrong. Amy discovered alcohol from a young age and with that thought it was the key to confidence, a good time and socialization. Drinking was a massive part of her life until her late 30s and became her coping mechanism to deal with stress and anxiety. She didn't think she had a problem with alcohol even when she was dangerous around her child at times. She has gone from relying on alcohol to now completely giving it up and has been sober for two years. She found the confidence to quit her job, launch her own business and is now on a mission to be the go-to resource for non-alcoholic reviews and recommendations. Going sober Amy discovered her true identity and found purpose, passion, energy and clarity. Which is something I relate to so much. Amy is open and true about her story with alcohol in this episode and it is a great conversation to hear someone else's journey. Share it with your friends and family. Let's start talking about this more. Thanks for listening, Caitlyn X Resources Dry but Wet website www.drybutwet.com.au The Alcohol Experiment Annie Grace - This Naked Mind

Welcome back to the Unmasked podcast. I am so excited as I have my very first guest on the show. I am so grateful to call Laura Speed (Speedo) my best friend, she is one in a million and I love that she has come on to share her story. I have known Speedo for 12 years and within that time I have seen her go through so much growth and hardship to remove her own masks and really come into her own. She has come on to this podcast to share her story about coming out (or letting people in) about her sexuality. She openly talks about her experience growing up in a small country town, not being accepted throughout high school, being ashamed of her truth for many years to now where she accepts herself, is proud to call herself gay and is living her true authentic life. This is a great podcast to hear a personal perspective on someone's journey through discovering their sexuality and is here for anyone who may be going through similar struggles, figuring out their own identity in the LGBTQIA+ community. Share this episode with your friends and tag us both on Instagram, tag @unmaskedwithcaitlyn and @laura_speedo, we would love to know your thoughts. If you are enjoying these podcasts, please leave a review, that would mean the world to me. Lots of love, Caitlyn.

Do you have an all or nothing mentality? Are you too hard on yourself and don't give yourself enough credit? Hello there, today's episode is inspired from my own recent realizations that whilst I want to keep pushing myself, I am not giving myself credit for what I have done up until this point. We are often our own worst critics and pushing ourselves has many benefits, but by not taking a step back to appreciate how far we have come and celebrating the little wins each day, we are putting this extra pressure and guilt on ourselves. I talk about how I have with all or nothing mindset around emotional eating and how I am trying to change it. I also discuss how I am going to stop being guilty for being in a quieter time of my life, it is still beneficial and I am still successful. Have a listen and see if you relate. If you like this podcast would you please leave me a review? That would be amazing.
