    The Wisdom of Cacao with Irma Schutte Ep#133

    We are so excited to chat with Irma from Mamamuti, a woman with a wealth of knowledge and what we lovingly call the "Cacao Queen." Irma truly lives and breathes cacao, drinking up to a litre a day. Cacao has been a powerful part of her own healing journey, supporting her through many of life's challenges and helping her cultivate deeper connection, wellbeing, and self-care. In this episode, Irma shares everything you need to know about cacao — its rich history, how it is grown and prepared, and the journey it takes before becoming the beautiful, decadent drink so many of us enjoy today. She also explores the many health and wellbeing benefits that have made cacao a cherished ritual for cultures around the world. If you've heard people talking about cacao but aren't quite sure what it is, or you're curious about how it could become a meaningful addition to your self-care practice, then this episode is for you. Irma has a captivating way of sharing her passion for this ancient superfood, and we know you'll come away inspired, informed, and perhaps even ready to brew yourself a cup.

    Self Care Balance with AI Ep#132

    What is your relationship with AI? Do you use it? How do you use it? Does it create more time for you to do more things for you? Or does is make you want to do more and achieve more because of the speed you can achieve things at now? Where ever you sit with this new unfolding technology we are here today to bring up the important topic of balance and self enquiry around what place it has in your world, and knowing if that serves you. We all know it's important to keep up with the times, so as we do that, how do we also know what balance looks like along the way? We encourage you to ask what does an intuitive balance look like, so that we are to use AI for meaningful progress as opposed to dumbing us down, and doing everything for us.  Here at the Press Pause Podcast we want you to reflect on how you can have a healthy balanced relationship with AI, while also living to your greatest potential, as well as maintaining self care and personal development.  If you would like more support in this area you can connect with us via our websites or social media platforms.

    Toxic Overload Ep#128

    Toxic overload often comes from the small, everyday things we use without thinking—cleaning products, personal care, sprays, and household items. Over time, these can build up and impact our wellbeing. This episode is about awareness, not overwhelm. There are simple ways to make changes, like swapping chemical sprays for an environmental cloth, or choosing more natural products for your body and home. You don’t need to change everything at once. Start by noticing, get curious, and choose one small thing to shift. Self-care isn’t just what you add in—it’s also what you reduce.

    What Really Matters Ep#126

    Today we thought it was rather relevant to have a conversation around what really matters. This is different for everyone and doesn't always stay the same. It's important to remember out of all the priorities that occupy our mind, what is it that matters most?.  When things don't go the way you'd hope it would or when life gives you curves balls, usually the things that really matter aren't tangible, but who you are being, the memories, or the simple things that are provided day to day. Hold close what matters to you, this will remove stress and unnecessary reactive ways we can respond to the world around us.  Join us as we talk about why it's so important to grasp this and have a clear picture in your mind for what this means to you.  If you would like more support in this area you can connect with us via our websites or social media platforms. Feel free to get in touch, share your thoughts and feedback, or ask any questions you have.
