    The life juggle - is balance a myth?

    The life juggle - is balance a myth?

    In this, our 7th episode of series 2, we talk about the challenge of finding balance. What does it look like, or does it even exist!

    In this insightful chat, we talk about recalibration, as opposed to the never-ending search to find 'balance' and we share lots of good stuff about how to check in and make time in a busy life to take care of the little things that, in the long run, take care of the bigger things!

    We also talk about how courage and bravery is what is needed now, for us all to open up when we feel out of balance and have some big, important conversations with work colleagues, friends and loved ones.

    Female Friendships - the highs, lows and everything in-between

    Female Friendships - the highs, lows and everything in-between

    In this conversation we talk about friendships and what happens when they shift, for whatever reason.

    Specifically female friendships, the importance of them and what to do when they sometimes breakdown. How to nurture them in the different seasons of life and how best to look after each other and ourselves through the journey of friendship. Leonie talks about a friendship model from her mother, while Katrina shares a friendship that broke down and the emotions involved, and Christy shares a helpful meditation to support a challenging relationship.

    This is a conversation that doesn't happen enough and there are no easy answers to a challenging friendship, however we are so glad to be able to share the highs and lows with each other and of course you, our audience.

    Ladies, Bring a Plate - should we care that gendered volunteer roles still exist?

    Ladies, Bring a Plate - should we care that gendered volunteer roles still exist?

    In this episode we tackle the subject of cultural change and how to approach it.

    We take a deep dive into the the issue of volunteer roles for women, and how even in today's much more progressive society, they can still be highly gendered.

    Does it matter? Why should we care? And how can we make change for the better?



    We also talk about all the things we are loving, including podcasts, Small Hall Festivals, the fabulous autumn weather (which only two out of three of us are loving) making sauce and relish with the neighbours and how Katrina is all fired about making a difference in the farming community - stay tuned for big things in this space!



    This is a big, juicy and heart-filled episode and we hope you enjoy it!

    Unpacking International Women’s Day

    Unpacking International Women’s Day

    In this 3rd episode of Series 2 of Spreading the Good Stuff we discuss the success and challenges of International Women’s Day (IWD), which was held in early March, and chew through what it means and what it should represent. It’s an interesting conversation, that has parallels with other struggles for equality and equity.

    Katrina shares details from a local IWD she hosted and loved peeling back the layers to find out what is really happening behind the scenes (and the Instagram posts) of the women we admire.

    Leonie took comfort in this insight and shares her feelings about overwhelm, creating the all-important wriggle room we need in our lives, and asking for help.

    Christy talks about her frustrations with real equality for women, how she is feeling sore, but good, after almost four weeks of her Yoga Teacher Training and is hoping for a bath at some stage this week!

    We want to thank all our lovely listeners for tuning in, and there’s a special shout-out by Lee in this chat to one of our male listeners who recently shared some very special feedback.

    Real and Raw - Asking the Big Questions

    Real and Raw - Asking the Big Questions

    In today's chat we get real, raw and vulnerable about life by asking each other a series of big-hearted questions:

    Where are you at right now and how are you feeling?
    What’s feeling good?
    What’s feeling challenging for you?
    What do you need right now?
    What are you loving?

    This makes for some great podcast fodder and we chat all things silent retreats, juggling work and family life, productivity and wellbeing hacks, yoga and empty nesting. There are also some gems to catch around podcasts and books that we are loving.
    Thanks again for joining us here on Spreading the Good Stuff. You'll find all the show notes for this episode over at The Splendid Word website here, and you can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
    Thanks for listening,

Revitalise your soul

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a while & I look forward to every release. One of my favourite things to do on the weekend is pop some earphones in & listen to an episode of Spreading the Good Stuff and I’m never disappointed. From setting goals, health & fitness, grief and coping with a busy lifestyle, these chats really talk to me and are sooooo relatable. I particularly loved a chat with Erin Barnes- and found it so inspiring with real tasks/actions I could implement immediately. Keep up the great work girls!
