For the past 25 years Kate has worked in the people, culture and leadership space, building a reputation for sharp insights, compassionate challenge, warmth, and energy.

Leaders who are examples of what's possible when we commit to the highest levels of humanity and responsibility in the ways that we live, lead and work. A lot of ground is covered during this episode in terms of discussions topics, (all related to vulnerability of course) including, toxic positivity, how the term midlife crisis should be rebranded as midlife awakening, the definition of productivity and the importance of space (all topics that I LOVE talking about hence why this is one of our longest episodes to date).  On top of this Kate also shares her personal story and experiences around the big V.

Lisa helps clients feel beautiful in their skin by creating a lifestyle of movement and wellness from a place of love. Originally from California, Lisa has lived abroad in South America and Asia for almost 10 years. From a young age Lisa loved fitness and wellness and also spent almost 20 years working in education, specifically early years. Lisa's journey to find health and happiness, like many, has been a winding road. In her teens a love of fitness, along with trauma and grief, and living in California became the perfect equation for a negative body image. Then in her 30s Lisa experienced gut issues, hair loss and burn out which sent her searching for more answers. Since western medicine was not giving her answers Lisa found a health coach to do some deeper work, which is what inspired Lisa to train and become a certified health coach and personal trainer herself. Lisa is now passionate about helping people live healthier happier lives, looking at all areas of their life, making peace with food, eating intuitively, moving their booty, being fully present, and living intentionally whilst pursuing their dreams Lisa offers health coach, virtual personal training, and has a wellness, travel, fashion, and lifestyle blog at www.soultravelfitness.com.

    How vulnerability helped me heal burnout and chronic fatigue syndrome - Shelley Gawith

    Shelley used to be the stereo-typical higher achieving, super-busy, corporate girl. She worked insane hours, skipped meals, lost sleep, over exercised and by her own admission did not take care of her health. That all changed in 2010, when Shelley reached total burnout, her health crashed and Shelley lost all physiological function.  Doctors wanted to admit her to hospital, telling her she was on 'death's doorstep' and there was little hope to heal her fully. Shelley was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and spent many, many months bedridden, nursed day and night by her parents, unable to stay awake for more than 30 minutes a day. Despite speaking to several specialists, nobody was able to help. So, Shelley embarked on journey to heal herself, studying as a functional nutritionist.   Shelley discovered that her body had been giving her signals for many years up to when her health finally totally collapsed, but she'd been too driven and busy to listen.  Shelley was able to heal her own body and as a certified and trained functional nutritionist has now made it her career and passion to help others listen, treat and heal their bodies so they can live well.

    My Year of Living Mindfully - Shannon Harvey

    Shannon Harvey is a devoted wife, mother and award winning health journalist and filmmaker, on a mission to inform, empower and inspire people to make long-lasting health changes in their life. Shannon herself has battled her own health problems - being diagnosed with the auto-immune disease 'Lupus' several years ago. This led her to research and produce the documentary film 'The Connection'. While Shannon found plenty of recommendations on diet, sleep and exercise, discovering equivalent offerings to help the mind was more illusive, which prompted Shannon to look closely at the potential benefits of mindfulness and her most recent project the film 'My year of living mindfully'. During the making of this documentary Shannon embarked on a 365 day experiment that has turned in to over a 1000 days of devoted practice.  In this interview Shannon shares what motivated her to make the film, her experience with vulnerability and how she believes vulnerability teaches us how to suffer better (as does mindfulness), which is an unavoidable part of being human. To find out more about Shannon go to  www.shannonharvey.com To find out how to download a copy of 'My Year of Living Mindfully' or arrange a private screening go to www.myyearoflivingmindfully.com
