    SLP 362: Life Is Precious with Wendy Barnes

    SLP 362: Life Is Precious with Wendy Barnes

    A twin, a black belt, a speaker and a cover girl, this week’s guest Wendy Barnes is one extraordinary soul. Competitive in spirit and wanting to travel, this woman was living her best life. She was training for the Mooloolaba Triathlon in 2008 when suddenly she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and her world stopped. She navigated and survived the highs and lows. And then, much to her dismay, five years later she was diagnosed again. In today’s episode we get to hear this extraordinary woman speaking from the soul, inspiring and reminding us all to live life out loud and appreciate how precious life is.

    Her definition of Self Love is so much about putting yourself number one. Believing in yourself, taking time out, do what you want to do. Live your life not no one else’s. Surround yourself with like-minded people. Love yourself. Stay in your own lane and keep reaching for your own dreams and no one else’s.

    SLP 360: Trust Your Gut with Alison Bell

    SLP 360: Trust Your Gut with Alison Bell

    When Alison Bell retired as a professional tennis player, she knew she wanted to pursue a career in either the fitness or health industries… She may have taken a while to get here, but now that she’s arrived, she is completely in her element!
    After suffering from her own injuries during her sporting career – and recovering from subsequent surgeries, Alison has a genuine understanding and appreciation of the importance of a speedy recovery.

    After being diagnosed and living with hashimoto’s disease, lupus, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and a leaky gut, Alison truly understands what it is to be unwell, and has found bone broth to be an integral part of her healing. She swears by it!

    ”Bone broth just works! I’ve sipped it through many colds and flus and am still amazed at how quickly it can prevent that slightly off feeling from progressing to a full-blown illness. I feed it to my entire family when flu season hits! I’ve taken it for muscular aches and pains as well as joint injuries to help recovery. And of course, for the big kahuna - gut health. As we learn more about the gut and its microbiome, the more we realise how incredibly important its health is for not only physical ailments but also mental health. Bone broth was the pharmaceutical before pharmaceuticals existed and it’s exciting to see it returning to everyone’s diet.”

    Alison is heavily involved in the preparation, cooking and distribution of the dehydrated bone broth… there every step of the way – from go to whoa! She is there from produce selection to the bottling up stage - to ensure that nothing but the best quality and nourishment goes into each and every jar.

    Alison also understands that there is no one fix all solution. Wellness comes from a change in mind, body, soul and spirit. She is constantly educating herself with new ways to find optimal wellness in nutrition and lifestyle. She is an advocate for alternate therapies and practices meditation through sound healing and shamanic learning on a daily basis.

    SLP 359: Self Love Quicky – Transitioning Between Goals

    SLP 359: Self Love Quicky – Transitioning Between Goals

    Setting a goal is actually more about embarking on a journey, with each milestone representing a step closer to our hopes, dreams and aspirations. But what happens once we’ve reached that coveted destination and achieved that goal? Do we immediately plunge into the next endeavour, or do we pause to savour the moment before creating a new one? Achieving a goal is undeniably exhilarating. It validates our efforts, reaffirms our capabilities, and propels us forward. However, amidst the euphoria of success, it’s crucial to strike a balance between maintaining momentum and allowing for reflection.
