    EP 30: It's TIME to let guilt go when it comes to enjoying nothing.

    EP 30: It's TIME to let guilt go when it comes to enjoying nothing.

    Are you trying to fill every spare second of your day with a new activity, but then feeling awfully guilty because you couldn't complete all these tasks? Today we unpack what time anxiety is and how we can start to understand it with a more mindful and logical mindset moving forward.
    Our lives are filled with too much and we forget to shut off, we feel guilty for slowing down and hustling can be a negative if you don’t take time to breathe, calm the mind and even reassess…step back into yourself before you take your next step.
    When you live by a calendar, it’s no big surprise that your relationship with time can get a little complicated. Time is a limited resource so be truly present in THE NOW!

    EP 29: Pauly Daniel teaches us to listen to every horse, train the mind, every minute, every moment. ​

    Imagine growing up in a horsey family and discovering your life's path by listening and following the horses instructions...well thats exactly what Pauly Daniel did...jealous?....we are too ;) 
    Pauly’s connection and affinity with animals and horses in particular is life-long. Born and raised working stock on the family property in the beautiful Flinders Ranges and having inherited his family’s respect for the beautiful animals, he started his journey with horses from an early age. He has spent his early working life on cattle stations in Australia as a Ringer, drover and colt starter and over the years he has competed in various disciplines...not to mention working on the set of the film 'Australia' by Baz Luhrmann.
     
    **PSA that at 18:30 the sound goes quiet, but don't worry it only lasts for 8 seconds**
    This wont be the last we hear from Pauly - I have already roped him into future episodes :P
    Come meet Pauly in person at this years Equitana in Melbourne AUS July 8-11 2021

    EP 28: When you are lacking Motivation...eat a pie

    EP 28: When you are lacking Motivation...eat a pie

    So many people ask me how i stay motivated and how to keep yourself motivated.
     
    So what better way than to answer it in our newest podcast episode. MOTIVATION is different for everyone, but this tool I give you in today's episode is a simple processing and reviewing tool that you can start implementing into your life right now.
     
    I want everyone to picture their life as a PIE, then work out the slices of pie that represent each section of your life; Work, Life, hobbies, friends, family etc. and all pieces should balance out into a perfect shaped pie. When you lose your motivation go back to thinking about your Pie and see if you can discover which piece is causing the off balance = YOUR WHERE
    and then figure out YOUR WHY. 
     
    when you utilise these two steps you will begin to figure our a solution to why you are feeling unbalanced. it is very easy for us to feel we are lacking in a particular slice and then suddenly over exert yourself to fill it, meaning you are not balanced just trying to "quick fix". 
     
    Apologies if you are hungry by the end of this episode haha

    EP 27: Don't let Comparison steal life's joy

    EP 27: Don't let Comparison steal life's joy

    Why do we compare?
     
    Why do we believe that we have to compare ourselves to others and not just compare ourselves to the person who we were yesterday and the person we want to be tomorrow.
    It is not what you go through that determines where you end up- its who you listen to.
    Cause I think right now you are walking through a valley between two voices- one is wisdom and one is worry. One is gratitude and one is grumbling. One is blame one is faith.
    When you feel like you are down or comparing then you might need to realise there is also an opportunity in front of you. To become stronger, get smarter, get faster, get tougher and become more stable that the next time self doubt and comparison kicks in that you don’t dwell on the “other” voices so much and let them have a chance to penetrate into your strong self loving mindset.
    You have the opportunity to show the world why you are YOU.
    Today we talk about 8 Tips to help you stop comparing yourself to others.

    EP 26 part 2 - The Coaching Lab continued with Olivia Orchowski

    Part #2 Continues on with Olivia Orchowski 
    Co-Founder of 'The Lean Lab' 
    www.theleanlab.com.au
    As we continue on where we left off (don't worry we put a recap so you wont forget the last few sentences...your'e welcome!) we hope we start some conversations with the upcoming topics. 
     
    Now we know that this might not be everyones cup of tea, and if it ruffles some feathers (thats totally fine) the idea of us conversing about these topics is to simply to open your mind to thinking outside your current understanding, that maybe there is more to discover or deep dive into for your own workings of your OWN BODY because no one is the same.
    - Periods and cycles 
    -Polycystic ovaries
    - The pill/ contraception
    -Society pressures.

    EP 26 Part 1- The Coaching Lab with Olivia Orchowski

    EP 26 Part 1- The Coaching Lab with Olivia Orchowski

    Yep we did it again!!
     
    This is a 2 part extraordinaire as I chat to the lovely Olivia Orchowski Co-Founder of 'The Lean Lab' which thrives on the philosophy of MINIMAL EFFORT FOR MAXIMUM RESULTS! (perfect right?)
    But before we dive into Olivia's amazing business we go back to where it started. Olivia's journey began with her modelling industry days before shifting into health and wellness in the Bikini Body Building comps, igniting a flame to create a unique offering to comp hopefuls with her business partner Melita and taking an unexpected turn into women's hormone and gut health issues, unravelling the many facets of hormonal and undiagnosed stressors in each of their clients bodies' and not treating them as a cookie cutter approach.
     
    We can guarantee that you will want to listen to Part #2 straight after Part #1. We chat about some topics that we believe need to be discussed more openly and not feel ashamed to research and discuss with your friends, family, doctors and of course your health coaches.
