LOVE, ME Hanna Tittel

This is by far my favourite interview! As a mother's day special I chose to interview my mom. My mom and I are incredibly close so going into this conversation I thought I knew a lot about him, but I found myself realizing that there were a lot of questions I wanted to ask about her life and about my childhood. This was an incredible opportunity to find out more about my favourite human. I feel very lucky that she agreed to do this and that I now have this recording to hold onto forever. I HIGHLY suggest you reach out to a family member (specifically one that is older) and take the time to really get to know them or the time to make sure you tell them how much you love them. Life is so short and love is so important. Happy mothers day to all the beautiful, strong, hardworking, selfless moms in the world, you are all super heroes!

In this episode, I have a chat with Dr. Shainna Ali. Dr. Shainna is a mental health clinician, educator and advocate. She is dedicated to helping others understand the important role of mental health in fostering happiness, fulfillment and overall wellness. 
Together we discuss:
The meaning of self-love

The reason it's so important to take time for ourselves and to practise self-love.

How self-love affects our lives and our relationships.

Understanding what aspects we each need to work on.

How to avoid the overwhelm of mental health and Dr. Shainna helps to bring a professional perspective to the meaning and the importance of self-love. We also get an insight into her self love workbook and how we can learn what areas we need to work on.

It's here. It's finally happening. I am dedicating a whole episode to the direct topic of Self-Love. After a few failed attempts to reach a Self-Love expert, I decided to turn to some friends for help. Friends and Google of course. 

Together we answer these questions:
1. What does self-love mean to you?
2. What do you do to practise self-love?
3. What do you love most about yourself?
4. What's one goal you want to achieve but you haven't yet?
5. What's holding you back from achieving it?

Today’s episode is not like the usual, it’s going to be a shorter episode and it’s going to be just me. In this episode, I am giving you all an update, a small boost of motivation and as always expressing my appreciation for you all. 
In the last five months since I first had the idea to launch this podcast, I've learned SO much - through the conversations, through the vulnerability of telling my story, through to the challenges of learning how to create and produce episodes and of course through meeting all of you. It was a major goal of mine that through my self-love journey I find confidence. The confidence to believe in myself and to go after my dreams... I am so excited to say that I have found that. I feel brave and empowered and so excited to put my dreams to the test and share my writing, and hopefully publish a book. Unfortunately, this isn't a small goal so I have decided that I need to make sure I give it all that I can, which means that I need to devote all my free time to it. Because of that, I will be taking a small break from the podcast in the new year, I am not certain of the length of the break at this point but I promise it's for a good reason. 

Now that I feel this way I want to remind you all that you can feel this way too, and more than that you SHOULD. Go after whatever it is you want to. Re-write your limiting beliefs and chase those dreams.

Before the break I will have a few more episodes for you in December, so please stick with me.

I love you all and I can't wait to continue to grow and learn and love alongside you all. XO

In this episode, I have a chat with Tiffany Toombs. Tiffany is a coach, author, motivational speaker, and overall boss. Her main focus is to help empower people to live an intentional life by helping them to remove their limiting beliefs. After heartbreak and loss, Tiffany had to take a good look at her life and how she could change it. She chose to surround herself with positive people and attended many self-improvement workshops, which is where she discovered the NLP technique. She now uses what she learned during her years of healing as well as her vast education to help people to live the life of their dreams.
Together we discuss:
What NLP is.Where our beliefs come from and at what ages they are formed.How our subconscious can take something and create a narrative or belief from it.The importance of being kind to ourselves.The best methods to say affirmations.The power of gratitude and the best methods in which we should practise gratitude.​
Tiffany helps us to understand our minds, by helping us to understand where our fears and beliefs were formed. She also helps us to learn that the way to change a habit is through changing the belief system. In order to truly make a change we have to change the system that caused the habit in the first place, focusing solely on the habit and demanding motivation will bring consistent struggle.

In this episode, I have a chat with Hilary Kimball. Hilary is a  sex, intimacy and Jade Egg coach. After university Hilary began her search for more, more pleasure, more understanding and more love. Through this journey, she learned about the world of femininity, sexuality, pleasure, intimacy and the jade egg. She now coaches women on how to understand their bodies more and the beauty of bringing more pleasure into their lives. In order to understand and to learn more about ourselves, we need to go inwards and understand more about who we are on every level. Self-love touches every aspect of your life, but we often tend to associate self-love and confidence with our physical image. Hilary and I bring up questions that are not often asked:
How do you feel about your body from the inside? How do you feel about your womanhood? Do you bring enough pleasure into your life?Is your sexual side being fulfilled and cared for?

In addition to understanding the importance of focusing on your sensuality, we discuss some tools to increase your sensuality. Specifically, we discuss the use of the Jade egg:
What actually is the Jade egg?Why would someone use it?How do you use it?To end our conversation Hilary directs us through a mini-meditation - the perfect tool to kick off your sensuality practice.
