    Help Is Always Available When You Need It

    Sometimes life gets really hard. We can feel overwhelmed, depressed, isolated and as though we’re carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders. In this episode, I get personal and talk about the realities of life, the challenges of being a carer, and how easy it can be to lose ourselves along the way. I also want to acknowledge that I’m letting off a little steam in this episode. Being a carer is incredibly difficult and emotionally taxing. Sometimes you spend so much time looking after someone else that you forget to look after yourself. Over time, that can lead to frustration, tensions and even resentment. And I think it’s important to be honest about those feelings. It doesn’t mean you don’t care about the person you’re looking after. It means you’re human, and you have needs, feelings and limits too. Finding the balance between caring for someone else and caring for yourself isn’t always easy. Sometimes you have to take a step back, work through those feelings and figure out how to do the best you can for both of you. Because carers need care, too. We also need to remember that we’re never as alone as we might think. There are millions of people around the world going through their own struggles. It’s okay to admit that life is hard. It’s okay to feel depressed, overwhelmed or simply not okay. One thing I’ve been trying to practise is bringing my mind back to NOW. So much of our worry comes from things that have happened in the past or things that might happen in the future. Sometimes, just concentrating on this moment can give our minds a little breathing space. And when things feel particularly heavy, it’s often the little things that help. Watching a favourite movie or YouTuber, listening to music, going for a walk amongst the trees (a little tree therapy), or treating yourself to something sweet. Simple things, but sometimes they’re exactly what we need. I also discuss Dead Poets Society and why I felt drawn to talk about support, connection and the importance of knowing that help is available, particularly for carers who can often feel incredibly isolated. I’ve included information about support services such as Lifeline, Beyond Blue and Black Dog Institute. There are many other organisations and services available too. If you’re struggling, please reach out. You don’t have to navigate everything alone. A little note about this episode: This is a new format for my podcast, and I’m still finding my feet with editing and audio production. Please bear with me while I learn what to leave in, what to edit out and how to improve the sound quality. There are a few ums, ahs, pauses and silences, and some of the audio isn’t perfect just yet! This episode is quite personal, and I hope that sharing some of my own feelings and experiences doesn’t leave anyone feeling more down. My intention is quite the opposite: to remind you that you’re not alone, that it’s okay to struggle, and that sometimes the smallest things can help us get through another day. Life gets hard sometimes, but we keep going. We see it through. And remember, you don’t have to do it all on your own. ❤️ A little more about me: 🎵 Check out my music and creative journey @sianassongs. 💄 Discover Lippy Links, my Australian-designed beauty accessory brand:https://lippylinks.com Thank you for listening and for allowing me to share a more personal side of myself.

    Frankenstein, Bee Venom, Spellbox, Art Therapy, Perseverance

    Welcome back to Diary of Sia Nas! 🎙️ This week, we're talking about good neighbours, corruption, magical herbs, literary legends, witchcraft, movies, perseverance, and everything in between. I dive into the wonderful book Magical Herbs and the incredible story of its author, Scott Cunningham. He wrote around 30 books during his life and sadly passed away at just 36. His story is one worth knowing. We also explore Mary Shelley and Frankenstein — how she came up with the idea at 18, wrote it at 19, and saw it published at just 20. With a family and husband who encouraged her creativity, she was surrounded by literature from the very beginning. I share my experience attending a full moon class at Spellbox, explore divination, and chat about the UK traders, my love of movies, and the wonderful world of The Good Witch films and series. There are also some thoughts on intention, patience, perseverance, and seeing difficult things through, even when you'd rather rush ahead. And as an Aries, patience isn't always my strongest quality! We get into hypersensitivity to other people's feelings, finding yourself in a foul mood, and the isolation that can come with working from home while caring for a parent. I talk about trying art therapy, searching for a therapist who uses Schema Therapy, buying far too many books (if that's even possible!), and doing lots of spells. Oh, and losing my keys. Again. Plus, I treated myself to Japanese ice cream and a fortune cookie. What did my fortune say? You'll have to listen to find out! 🥠 And of course, there's a little update on my business, Lippy Links. I've been working away behind the scenes, and I'd love your support. The Merry & Bright collection is available now, featuring beautiful links with gold sparkles — perfect for the festive season! ❤️✨ Shop the collection at https://lippylinks.com and please share Lippy Links with your friends, follow along on social media, and help spread the word. Every bit of support means so much to me as an independent Australian inventor and business owner. Finally, this episode might be my last podcast… but you'll have to listen right from the beginning to find out why. Thank you to everyone who listens, follows, and takes the time to be here. I appreciate you more than you know. 🎧 Listen, follow, share and join me for another week of Diary of Sia Nas.

    Rage, Depression, Money Spells, Cops & Thieves

    This week on Diary of Sia Nas, it's been a rollercoaster of frustration, anger, anxiety, a little depression, and plenty of witchy goodness. After recording the first seven minutes of my podcast perfectly, I discovered that the next 45–50 minutes had absolutely no sound. Cue the rage! After a few days to calm down, I sat down and recorded the whole thing again. The audio is very patchy and I added commentary while I was editing after. I do apologise! In this episode, I'm talking about cops and thieves, chrysanthemums for protecting the home, financial teams, Oasis and their documentary, making mistakes, owning up to them, email disasters, being highly anxious and hypersensitive, complaining, and the reality that life isn't always easy. We also explore money spells, holy basil, fire scrying, Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, medieval tea, Chinese prosperity coins, divination boards, pendulums, vampire vibes, and my latest witchy purchases. Plus, there's the ridiculousness of US business taxes, catching a cold after a coughing kid in a doctor's waiting room, Cash, and the new Carrie series. It's a week of learning, frustration, trying to find answers, and doing the best I can while juggling life, creativity, and my business, Lippy Links. Sometimes things go wrong, sometimes you have to start again, and sometimes all you can do is take a deep breath and keep going. Thanks for listening to Diary of Sia Nas! 💗 Shop from my brand Lippy Links: https://lippylinks.com Let's Get Connected!

    Witchy Spells, Banned Books, Poverty Mindset, Lotto Win, PTSD

    Witchy Spells, Banned Books, Poverty Mindset, Lotto Win, PTSD | Episode 102 In this episode, I’m talking about a little bit of everything happening in my life lately. ✨ From experimenting with witchy spells and reading banned books to fighting a poverty mindset, winning a little money on the lotto, and starting Duolingo to learn Greek, there’s plenty to talk about. I also chat about decluttering, X-rays and blood tests, living a life of quiet desperation, dealing with PTSD and anger, making music, and watching The Whale. Life isn’t always easy, and sometimes it feels like you’re trying to figure everything out while juggling a hundred different things. But I’m trying to make changes, learn new things, clear some space, and find ways to move forward. Hopefully, you enjoy this episode and follow along as I continue sharing my journey. ❤️ Want to support me?

    LAST EPISODE EVER! - Flip It, Christmas Lunch, Family, Millionaire Mentor, Love Actually, Books

    So this is the last episode ever. Time to move on to greener pastures. Thanks so much to everyone who has listened and followed along on my journey, love you all long time.  So in this last episode I talk about copyright issues I had with my lofi beat Garden State, I went to a lovely Christmas Lunch with strangers. I have been connecting with more family members. I watched quite a few movies including Top End Wedding which is a wonderful Australian movie that has a lot of heart. I was surprised to find The Hitman’s Bodyguard had a lot of laughs, an enormous amount of violence but a lot of heart too.  I also watched Deadpool. Have to say Deadpool 2 is my favourite. I also saw Love Actually which is one of my all time favourite movies.   I have continued the Ableton course to learn how to use my music making program to make better beats.  I have a new millionaire mentor and I am hoping to follow his roadmap to make millions of my own!  I also been reading up to fill in my quota of reading ten books a year.  Plus lots more odd and ends. Beat of the week is Flip It a gruff hip hop beat ready to kick your butt, hahahaha. Enjoy! Thanks for listening.

    Garden State, Stan & Ollie, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Seal, iPhone 12 Pro, Seinfeld, DNA, Apple TV

    On the second last episode I talk about the very polite movie Stan & Ollie about the wonderful comedic duo Laurel and Hardy. It really is a must see. I got my new iPhone12 Pro and watched a great special on Netflix called Jerry Before Seinfeld which shows attitude is everything. Started a new course on Ableton to improve my music making skills and bought lots more courses for my creativity. I got my DNA pack from MyAncestry to find out about my heritage. I got a free one subscription to Apple TV because I got the new iPhone. I saw a songwriting special with Seal which I wasn’t too impressed with. I watched the new Taylor Sift special where she performs all the songs off her new album Folklore. See what I thought about her album. I watched a documentary about MTV which was very interesting and finished the week watching Mariah’s Christmas special which I loved and hated. See why. Beat of the week is a lovely lofi beat called Garden State. It will chill you out for the week. I love the vinyl crackle it’s my favourite. Thanks for listening. I love hearing from you so if you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact me on the social media platforms listed below.  Also I umm and ahhh a lot and repeat myself a lot and try to edit it out and sometimes it’s smooth other times not so much so please excuse the bad editing.

    Sounds, Bond, Lovely People, Sausage Fattner, iPhone 12 Pro, Easy Rider, Losers

    The week started with my invention and contacting the manufacturer in Thailand then watching Spectre with my favourite Bond. I got an aunty to help me fill in more details of my ancestry tree and I ordered the new iPhone 12 pro! I watched Easy Rider and a new series on Netflix called Losers about people who have tried in sports and not succeeded but their lives weren’t over! I got some plugins from the Black Friday sales including RC-20, Sausage Fattner, Endless Smile and updated my Melodyne package. I made a beautiful beat inspired by a new uncle, listened to the new Miley Cyrus album Plastic Hearts and enrolled in a new Ableton course to take my beat making production to a new level. It’s been a busy week. Beat of the week is Sounds a beat I made using different sounds such as aerosol cans spraying, air conditioner humming, city ambience, cassette tape playing inserting tape and closing, money flicking, champagne pouring, belt buckles, tennis balls, a cabinet closing, bicycle bell ringing and coloured pencils drawing. It's a full but simple beat. Thanks for listening.  If you have any comments or questions please feel free to contact me on the social media platforms listed below.  Also I umm and ahh a lot and repeat myself a lot and try to edit it out and sometimes it’s smooth other times not so much so please excuse the bad editing.
