    “Relationship Revolution” with Rachael and Andy Seymour

    In the years of 2021 and 2022 Divorce rates in Australia spiked as high as they had been since 1976. The year in which The Family Law Act was reformed to include “No Fault”, meaning spouses could for the first time opt that they just no longer got along, and it was a mutual decision at “no fault”, in turn that year, the divorce rates spiked to the highest in history… until the pandemic. 2 years after the pandemic and lockdowns, it only feels now like the relationships that were pushed to the edge, have either finally regrouped from the pressure and trauma of the unknown, or reset as rebuilt individuals than prior couples. But the fallout of it all begs the question of, how can a marriage survive the modern world? The pressures that come with the pace in which our society now runs, the cost of living crisis, the unavoidable content that gets consciously or unconsciously shoved down our throats by social media algorithms, or the access to endless sexual fantasies online, that remove you far from your own reality, and set an unhealthy and unrealistic tone for intimacy and connection with a long term committed partner. So when you come across a couple that have somehow managed to navigate their way through from being high school sweethearts to parents of teens, that still remain healthy partners to each other, it’s like finding a rare glistening gem in the jungle, and you wonder how did they get there and how are they still sparkling? Bec met Rachael Seymour, Co-Founder of The Energy Studio that focuses on well-being practices such as Kundalini Yoga, Meditation, Sexual Energy and so much more and her husband Andrew Seymour, a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist and Partner at Physica, and it was intriguing to see a couple who view life with difference lenses, Rachael focusing on spirituality and Andy following the science he practices, whom are still so connected and even more impressively, respecting of each others differing views.  So we ask how have they grown together over grown a part? And how have they done it whilst staying true to who they are as individuals?   Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke Morgan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    “Connected & Supported: Empowering Families in the Digital Age” with Dr. Charlotte Keating & Dr. Billy Garvey

    You may have heard or seen headlines lately with the concern over the impacts of social media on children and Anthony Albanese’s recent announcement about age regulation and policy reform for when children will be legally able to access certain social media apps. These are all steps in the right direction, but what do we do in the meantime? And really, in the wise words of Clinical Psychologist – Dr. Charlotte Keating - without trying to implement some foundational and fundamental skills to your child’s life, and your families – who is to say when they do turn 16 they will be ready to handle the world of online and social media? Further to this, Developmental Paediatrician Dr. Billy Garvey concurred that we don’t just give our children a car license and the keys and say – drive! We start children with their Learners Permit and sit with them whilst they learn to drive, before they earn their license and the right to drive alone. This week’s episode was a special one to Not Super. Woman, as we hosted our first community live event and had the privilege of both Dr. Charlotte Keating & Dr. Billy Garvey uniting to combine powers and give parents, their children and family units guidance on what are the steps we can take now, and rather than trying to find the silver bullet solution in the outside world. Let’s start with looking within our own homes and the things we can control, as there is a lot we can’t at the moment but we have time that can be spent well, whilst we wait .   Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke Morgan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    “Your Health - the Epicentre of Functioning” with Frida Aalgars Founder of The Tenth Co. and Dr. Oscar Serrallach

    No one ever really talks about how as a woman you go through puberty and then enter your reproductive stage, where if you have the ability to have a child, the physical and emotional changes go well beyond the first 6 weeks post birth. Most commonly in western medicine, we focus on the labour and then the first 6 weeks, but beyond that for the majority, women get left to resume motherhood with little acknowledgment of the biological, hormonal and physical changes that continue to occur to them for years after birthing children. Matrescence is somewhat of a new term that has recently been defined, similarly to adolescence as the physical, psychological and emotional transitions that occur to women for years once they become a mother. In the past the fatigue, the highs and lows, extreme periods, anxiety and so on, all were simmered down to the ripples effects of taking care of your young children. But with the dedicated work of people such as Dr. Oscar Serrallach and Frida Aalgars, it’s becoming more commonly understood that far more is happening to you that needs attention and support in the bid to manage the Matrescence stage of life. Dr. Oscar Serrallach is a renowned Doctor that has been a leader in the area of Mothercare for 10 years, writing and publishing world renowned book “The Postnatal Depletion Cure” in a bid to guide women through this previously ignored stage. Frida Aalgars was an established corporate calving out an impressive career for herself but once having children suffered sleep deprivation and burnout, which led her to be a patient of Dr. Serrallach, and in-turn making wholesale changes to assist in living a more balanced and holistic life to manage being a woman who is also a mother, in this new era of parenting, navigating parenting and life, and everything in between. Since then, Frida and Oscar have collaborated in an attempt to combine their expertise and provide women a better chance to manage their well-being, with their wellness brand The Tenth Co. The key to all of this goes back to the essence of being a woman who is also a mother, you can’t care for anyone from the place of an empty cup, so prioritising support and your health in today’s world is the key to helping manage your wellbeing alongside motherhood.

    “Understanding Feng Shui” with Kelly McCloskey

    For the uninformed, the term Feng Shui is heeded as Chinese ideology relevant to the energy and balance within your home, but beyond that, truly understanding its purpose and proposed power can be overwhelming, complicated and sometimes too much to take on. Though the question begs why this practice has existed for thousands of years and those committed to it, swear by its positive influence in their life. Kelly McCloskey was a renowned real estate agent within the Melbourne housing market for years and often found herself selling the same home, multiple times, to new owners. One thing that struck her, was the habitual cycles of these particular homes - repeated illnesses, divorces or declines in wealth where she started to question the philosophy and connection of good energy, bad energy and the impact of a homes Feng Shui. That’s when Kelly leapt from Real Estate to undertaking years of study to learn the foundations of Feng Shui and merge her knowledge of real estate with understanding the energy and flow of a home. So we’re going to start at the beginning to get a grasp of the foundations of Feng Shui. What’s westernised myths and what is true to the philosophy practices that can make a positive impact of the energy flow of the place you spend most of your time - your home.   Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke Morgan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    “F*ck Cancer!” with Jess Armstrong

    Our skin is the largest organ of the human body and what we apply to it is absorbed by that organ (our skin) and in-turn absorbed into our blood stream and internal organs.Somewhere along the line, marketing genius became the majority focus of our attention, and we have gotten distracted by what is the ‘in’ product, what looks cool, what’s chic and what smells nice, over what is actually good for our skin and in-turn us. Jess Armstrong came to this realisation through her own confronting and deeply personal journey.Jess was in the throes of early motherhood with two young children when she found out she had breast cancer. Through this incredibly distressing time, Jess had to undergo chemotherapy, radiotherapy and a mastectomy. But cancer didn’t keep her down, Jess was driven to understand what was happening to her and her body and learn about that products that she had used for most of her teen and adult life. Through investing her focus in learning about this, Jess discovered that a lot of the beauty and skin care industry has gotten carried away with what looks and smells good over focusing on what is actually safe for good skin health and our overarching health, in turn the confronting realisation that majority product ranges were made up of ingredients that are actually toxic for us, especially those that are immuno compromised and in treatment. Now knowing all she has learned, Jess took this as a challenge to not only provide the market with a safe product range, but also a product range that still gives women the feminine feels of nurturing ourselves with something special and founded FUCA Skincare range.
