What It Means To Be Well Rachael Bonetti

In the first episode of season four I'm joined by the incredible and inspiring Lou Kelle for a soulful conversation on all things self discovery, authetic living and the liberation of living our truth.
Lou has dedicated the last nine years to teaching yoga full-time in Melbourne, Australia, while also co-facilitating international yoga teacher training programs in Thailand and hosting transformative retreats in Bali, Thailand, and Australia.
As a certified life coach, Lou's passion lies in combining yoga and self-development to create healing spaces where participants can shift limiting beliefs and create inspired lives.
Conversation Highlights:
The path to courage and willingness to follow the heart and pursue a life of freedom. Lou's journey and the experiences that have shaped her into a beacon of hope and freedom for others. Lou shares what excites her the most in her business and life, highlighting the fulfillment she finds in helping others transform and thrive. Lou discusses her journey of discovering high sensitivity and how it has influenced her life and work. And we talk about the importance of holding space for oneself AND others, particularly in roles like Executive Assistants and other in-service professions, to prevent burnout.

In this episode Rachael shares her story from moving from a career being behind the scenes supporting the success of others, to stepping into the spotlight and out of the shadows as a business owner.
It's a personal and honest reflection on the importance of learning to trust ourselves,  a reminder to always keep a focus on 'us' in some way in our careers, and why getting out of our own way can sometimes be the hardest thing to do.
Rachael explores:
Breaking the mold - both the ones we and others place us in How to create inner steadiness in times of doubt The magic in embracing possibilities without being sure of an end result What she's learned about disregarding the rule book and doing things in an unconventional way  How her business came to be, and how it nearly didn't The challenges and blocks she had to overcome on a personal level to create her own version of business success The event that took the wind out of her sails and had her considering closing her business within weeks of openeing Why we should be discerning about the advice we take from others, how the support of coaches can sometimes be more harmful than helpful How she came to realise her career experience was an apprenticeship in Business Management and why she trains assistants all over the world to regard their experience as this too and it's a peep behind the veil of the assistant world with its unique challenges  Whether you're a business owner or and employee, you'll relate to the pain points she shares and benefit from the wisdom about the ways we can suprise about ourselves when we least expect it.
