Speaker 1: Apoday production.
Speaker 2: We begin today by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the
Speaker 2: land on which we gather today and pay our respects
Speaker 2: to their elders past and present. We extend that respect
Speaker 2: to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's here today. Welcome
Speaker 2: to the Grow and Glow Podcast. I'm Ashy, I'm Kiara.
Speaker 2: This is a podcast where we learn, laugh, and level
Speaker 2: up together. Let's go deep, let the emotions flow, and
Speaker 2: find the lessons to grow and glow.
Speaker 1: Nothing is off the table with Grow and Glow, and
Speaker 1: we're here to be your expander. Hello, guys, welcome back
Speaker 1: to the show.
Speaker 2: Excited to be here Monday morning.
Speaker 1: Or afternoon, whenever you are listening to this. Got a
Speaker 1: fun episode or not a fun one, more informative one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for all of our gals on their healthy girl era. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but before we get into it, share over the week.
Speaker 1: What have you got for us?
Speaker 2: These drops really excited. So they're tanning drops, which I
Speaker 2: haven't really gotten into before.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So I initially got these drops to like just try
Speaker 2: it on my face because I always found that when
Speaker 2: I use self tanner on my face, it went really dry.
Speaker 2: I got breakouts. So I've changed over to it's called Tanologist.
Speaker 2: They're Tenologists, the extra dark ones from price Line. So
Speaker 2: you literally mix with moisturizer like five drops and rub
Speaker 2: it in really really well, and then put all over
Speaker 2: your face, and your face is just like glowing the
Speaker 2: next day. Then I looked on TikTok, good old TikTok. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and you can use it all over your whole body.
Speaker 2: So now I've been doing that as well. So you
Speaker 2: know how you're talking about finding a tan that doesn't smell, Yes, babe,
Speaker 2: it does not smell. Mix it in with my Hideaway.
Speaker 2: So you do one body part at a time, put
Speaker 2: about five or six drops and you can spill it
Speaker 2: up if it's not dark enough. Next day, add some
Speaker 2: more drops and more hideaway and it's so easy you
Speaker 2: can sleep in. It doesn't go on your sheets, it
Speaker 2: doesn't transfer, doesn't stink, it's not sticky or tacky. I've
Speaker 2: just been loving them.
Speaker 1: So I've always used them for my face, not that brand,
Speaker 1: a different brand, really natural one. I love it. Not
Speaker 1: for my body. I've never tried that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So mine is the black Essence perfume from Hideaway.
Speaker 1: I love it it's the dupe of black Opium by
Speaker 1: why Cell. It smells so similar. It is just beautiful
Speaker 1: and out of all the fragrances that we've done at Hideaway.
Speaker 1: When it comes to the perfumes, which if you're doing
Speaker 1: a Hideaway warehouse right now, every single order has perfume
Speaker 1: in it, Like it is our number one selling product
Speaker 1: right now, which is crazy. But the Black Essence is
Speaker 1: just the number one seller. It is the most sexiest, feminine,
Speaker 1: beautiful scent. I love it.
Speaker 2: It's literally in my handbag right now. Ye.
Speaker 1: Last time we both had it, so choose one, but
Speaker 1: I just keep going back to that one. Yeah, Whereas
Speaker 1: when it comes to my custards, I prefer more fruity sense.
Speaker 2: I do really like the Aurora roots for daytime though
Speaker 2: sometimes yes, yeah, Kurt loves the Black Essence, but I'm
Speaker 2: really liking the Aurora roote, the dupe of Baccarat, yeah,
Speaker 2: which is like four hundred dollars. Yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Popular, but it is really nice. Yeah, love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So that's my share of the week is a nice
Speaker 1: new perfume. I don't use perform daily, but on like
Speaker 1: date nights or like going somewhere special. It just makes
Speaker 1: me feel like, I don't know, it's just so nice
Speaker 1: springing my step. I'm like, oh, it's like when Steve
Speaker 1: Red's Colonne. He doesn't wear it off to either, but
Speaker 1: when he wears it, I'm like, oh, hello, so nice,
Speaker 1: so sexy.
Speaker 2: So sexy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're right. So we're going to get into
Speaker 1: an episode all about restoring our health and happiness. So
Speaker 1: we wanted to share a bunch of different things that
Speaker 1: we have consistently done that we really think improves our
Speaker 1: overall vitality, overall mental and emotional wellbeing. We want to
Speaker 1: share them because I feel like we can always learn
Speaker 1: more and do better when it comes to that. So absolutely, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get started. I want to ask you, and I'll
Speaker 1: share mine as well. What are some things that you
Speaker 1: think that all of us should be incorporating more of?
Speaker 2: Meditating, like honestly, just stopping branding, putting our feet outside
Speaker 2: in the grass, meditating. I feel like we've just all
Speaker 2: become so disc from ourselves and from the earth and
Speaker 2: from just like how lucky we aren't even just be
Speaker 2: here and be alive every single day. They're just taking
Speaker 2: that time out, that tiny bit of time like five
Speaker 2: minutes in the morning. Eve, it takes to just yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: connect with yourself one per how about you?
Speaker 1: For me, I think daily movement.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think as we get older and we're sitting at desk,
Speaker 1: like more often most people sit at a desk for
Speaker 1: their work. Now, just moving your body. It doesn't have
Speaker 1: to be a gym session. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: swimming laps. It can literally just be a walk, stretching,
Speaker 1: just movement. It's so good for your energy and for
Speaker 1: your mental health. Like it is honestly like an antidepressant
Speaker 1: for me. If I don't go to the gym, I
Speaker 1: just mentally do not cope. Yeah, I go there. It
Speaker 1: mentally and emotionally helps me show up as a person
Speaker 1: I want to be, and it consistently has for the
Speaker 1: last twenty odd years. Definitely, it's like one thing that
Speaker 1: I just know does not fail me. Yeah, So daily movement.
Speaker 1: And also I think we all should be having a
Speaker 1: massive skull of water when we wake up in the morning.
Speaker 1: A lot of people just don't. You're so dehydrated from
Speaker 1: sleeping six seven, eight, nine, ten hours not having any liquid.
Speaker 1: I scull back five hundred meals every single morning.
Speaker 2: Do you drink throughout the night. No, see, I drink
Speaker 2: a glass water throughout the night.
Speaker 1: Oh, broken sleep.
Speaker 2: Every time I wake up, I'm like, I'll just have
Speaker 2: a few muffuls of water, but I wake up peeps
Speaker 2: throughout the night.
Speaker 1: Yeah I do.
Speaker 2: I'm a light sleeper. But yeah, you speaking about stretching
Speaker 2: before the other day, I actually put on wasn't a
Speaker 2: guided meditation with just meditation background music, and did like
Speaker 2: a big stretch right before bed. It was so nice. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and I didn't get to the gym that day, and
Speaker 2: it's just like the one thing that I was like,
Speaker 2: I need to do something.
Speaker 1: Yes, it was beautiful. Even you're watching a TV series
Speaker 1: like I'll just go down for five minutes and choose
Speaker 1: like three stretches and hold each for a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: You do that every single night. Yeah, for a couple
Speaker 1: of months. Imagine you're much more flexible, You're gonna be
Speaker 1: much more easy, your body's going to be the less
Speaker 1: chance of injury, like so important. You can just choose
Speaker 1: a couple of things, so daily movement, hydration in the morning,
Speaker 1: more sun being present. I know, I know it's controversial,
Speaker 1: and my mum's had skin cancer, I get it. There's
Speaker 1: a fine balance, but I think we've gone so far
Speaker 1: the other way that we're just so like sunscreen orientated
Speaker 1: and stay out of the sun. But vitamin D is
Speaker 1: so important, and if you're deficient in vitamin D, your
Speaker 1: body can't even absorb, it can't regulate as well. It
Speaker 1: affects your cicadia and rhythm. Like it's just so important.
Speaker 1: They reckon you should get out first thing in the
Speaker 1: morning and like just go out and like bask in
Speaker 1: the sun for five minutes to start your day. Just
Speaker 1: wakes your body up. It's so good for you. It's
Speaker 1: good few energy.
Speaker 2: So nice in summer as well, Like we're speaking my
Speaker 2: way up when it's a bit warmer, but you can
Speaker 2: go out and just like if you want too nude, yeah,
Speaker 2: and just like fully let the sun have access to you.
Speaker 2: That's a bit chilly.
Speaker 1: Every time I was breastfeeding, and one of the best
Speaker 1: things for sore nipples is going out in the sun
Speaker 1: because it toughens them up.
Speaker 2: Oh there you go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember just like being in the backyard and I
Speaker 1: was like, after a bed tiler, just go out and
Speaker 1: like put them in the sun.
Speaker 2: I've never heard that in my life.
Speaker 1: It's so good and just so grounding too. It sounds
Speaker 1: like really relaxing, but it's also energizing. Yeah, so they'd
Speaker 1: be my top.
Speaker 2: Three the heat. Yes, what certain things would you never eat?
Speaker 1: Oh? I really try to avoid artificial sweetness like sugar, alcohols.
Speaker 1: They just upset my stomach so much. And I just
Speaker 1: think it's so artificial that your body doesn't recognize it
Speaker 1: doesn't know what to do with it, and it just stalls
Speaker 1: in your body. Like it's just it's not good for us,
Speaker 1: and it can cause hormone issues, headaches, bloating, digestive issues.
Speaker 1: Just no, thank you. I want to say soft drinks.
Speaker 1: But every couple of months I have a Pepsi Max.
Speaker 1: I actually even have one in a really long time
Speaker 1: because I've been having their Sodaly and next bar. So
Speaker 1: I feel quite satisfied with my bubblies. Personally, I don't
Speaker 1: love tofu. It upsets my tummy and it's just so processed.
Speaker 1: I know a lot of ven Sharings have it, but
Speaker 1: it's not good for my guts.
Speaker 2: I get upset stomach from it too. Yeah, real bloated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because it's so processed, it's not a natural thing
Speaker 1: that's like grown from the ground, nice, so processed. But
Speaker 1: a lot of people love it and like that says
Speaker 1: source of protein. But for me, it's just no go.
Speaker 1: Not something i'd ever give my kids either.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: My top three are about you.
Speaker 2: So soft drinks after talking to you when Lee, But
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with that anyway, because I
Speaker 2: don't like fizzy drinks. So I spoke with Ashy about this,
Speaker 2: like I'm not a fizzy drink gal. And for me
Speaker 2: would just be smoking and vaping. There are two things.
Speaker 1: For me.
Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends at the moment that
Speaker 2: are vaping and they're like, I'm so addicted and it
Speaker 2: looks like it's such a hard habit to break.
Speaker 1: So I just would not start smoking, vaping any recreational drugs, no,
Speaker 1: thank you, yeah, no thanks.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Vaping's a scary one, isn't it. It is?
Speaker 2: And it's like I feel like we're smoking. There's so
Speaker 2: many bad effects, like you smell like it, but vaping
Speaker 2: smells nice, I know, So it's not even like a
Speaker 2: bad thing, or it's very discreet. It's easy to do
Speaker 2: because it's not really smelly or smoky.
Speaker 1: Or every path is like you're inhaling ten thousand chemicals
Speaker 1: or something like. It's something about like that. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: they're the foods that we would avoid. What are the
Speaker 1: foods that you make sure you have every single day
Speaker 1: or you like to focus on because it makes you
Speaker 1: feel so healthy and happy.
Speaker 2: Something that I always speak about to you. You'll know
Speaker 2: this Straightaway's avocado, Yeah, and even just more healthy fats
Speaker 2: in general. I feel like growing up, when I was
Speaker 2: like looking into all that stuff, I got really scared
Speaker 2: of healthy fat.
Speaker 1: Everyone got scared of the word fat, healthy fat.
Speaker 2: But now I really really feel so much better when
Speaker 2: I incorporate just like a tiny little in my breakfast.
Speaker 2: I have like a little palm full of nuts, yeah,
Speaker 2: on the top of my birch amusally every morning, and
Speaker 2: then some avocado. Just some healthy fats make me feel
Speaker 2: so good. Obviously protein feel incredible of protein as well,
Speaker 2: But there's something about when I don't have enough fats
Speaker 2: and I'm lacking, I can feel it in my body.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not surprised. And avocado it's an actual super food. Oh,
Speaker 1: it's incredible, so nutrient rich for you. Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 1: Greens in general, that's definitely one of my top ones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't think we're eating enough greens, but quality greens,
Speaker 1: like try to go organic because yeah, I've spoken about
Speaker 1: this before, but the soil that grows in affects the
Speaker 1: nutrients in the actual vegetable. But we have broccoli every
Speaker 1: single night, like guaranteed. But even in smoothiess like I'll
Speaker 1: either put a handful of spinach or put half a
Speaker 1: zecchini in there. Yeah, green powders like I just try
Speaker 1: and make sure I get enough greens and fiber each day.
Speaker 2: Even veggies too, chomper not having roast veggies roast.
Speaker 1: So young, it's so delicious and fiber. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are lacking in fiber and toilet regularly.
Speaker 1: But you're going to get through your fruits and vegetables
Speaker 1: as well. Very true.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big fruit eater. I've been trying to
Speaker 2: purposely eat a bit more because I do feel better
Speaker 2: when I happened like eat and kind of did that
Speaker 2: a little bit for me. But I would not just
Speaker 2: go like I'm just going to pick up a piece
Speaker 2: of fruit normally unless I'm like on the go, bring
Speaker 2: a banana with me.
Speaker 1: I love fruit there's so many antioxidants in fruits.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, I've been trying to consciously eat
Speaker 2: a bit more. I need to think about it. It's
Speaker 2: not something I just like pick up and in summer.
Speaker 1: I feel like you probably have more like stea beets
Speaker 1: watermelon in summer the day to day. He doesn't eat.
Speaker 2: Fruit either, so controversial. I'm not a huge watermelon. I'll
Speaker 2: eat it, I'll always eat it when it's out, but
Speaker 2: I'm not like, oh my gosh, like I would rather strawberries.
Speaker 1: Over Yeah, I love watermelon.
Speaker 2: Oh mango is my jam.
Speaker 1: Oh mango is good that we spoke a lot about
Speaker 1: supplements before. I feel like I've gotten you onto a
Speaker 1: lot of supplements you're so proud of, like how consistent
Speaker 1: you've been.
Speaker 2: What thinks mate?
Speaker 1: But I feel like there is a handful of supplements
Speaker 1: that most of us could incorporate or should be having,
Speaker 1: magnesium being one of them. If you've listened to the
Speaker 1: episode with Levi as well. I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people are really zinc deficient and vitamin D deficient for
Speaker 1: shu oils. I've recently started taking Vishalis again. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I do think a lot of us need to do
Speaker 1: a course of probotics more often. Yeah, not just after
Speaker 1: you have antibotics or not just when your gut feels
Speaker 1: really yuck. Like, do a couple of courses throughout the year. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Two things I love to have now after speaking to
Speaker 2: Levi as well, is vitamin B six and B twelve.
Speaker 2: So they're both really great for nervous system and regulation. Also,
Speaker 2: I went through a big phase when I was really
Speaker 2: stressed where I was taking ashwagandha. But it's not something
Speaker 2: you can take consistently for a long time, but if
Speaker 2: you're having because it throws your balance off if you
Speaker 2: do it for a long period of time. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: I did a bit of research on it. But whenever
Speaker 2: you went through a stressful situation, yeah, or even if
Speaker 2: you just got a stressy day off, the kids are
Speaker 2: really getting at you just to like have one or two.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's really helped me out when I've gone
Speaker 2: through different challenges in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of mushrooms, actually took Turkey's taiale for a while. Incredible.
Speaker 1: That incredible for your immune system. Very controversial, but there's
Speaker 1: a guy in America who grows them and no one
Speaker 1: come at me because I feel like this is such
Speaker 1: a controversial topic. Mushrooms haven't actually tripop fro mushrooms myself yet.
Speaker 1: But anyway, this turkey Tail one, he had four women.
Speaker 1: They all had stage four breast cancer, including his mother
Speaker 1: who was eighty eight years old. Two of them took
Speaker 1: turkey Tale, two didn't Stage four, like you're gone. Two
Speaker 1: of them that took turkey Tale fully made a full recovery.
Speaker 1: What the two that didn't passed away. So when one
Speaker 1: of my girlfriend's mum got diagnosed with breast cancer and
Speaker 1: it was in a sponge to cancer everywhere, I was like,
Speaker 1: watch this talk like do your own research, but if
Speaker 1: I ever get cancer, this is one thing I'll be taking.
Speaker 1: And I took it consistently just for immune system anyway,
Speaker 1: And she took Tookytail as well. Has got another mushroom
Speaker 1: blend from a natchpath in America, but cancers are gone far.
Speaker 1: She had it in her breast she had, and a
Speaker 1: spine she had, and a hips second time getting cancer
Speaker 1: and the doctors could not believe it fully gone. Holy
Speaker 1: So I just fully believe and the power of plants
Speaker 1: and mushrooms. Yeah, but yeah, I used to take to
Speaker 1: Caytail used to order HERB but it's just an incredible
Speaker 1: free immune system. I take vitamin D as well, because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, vitamin D all those feel good ones.
Speaker 1: Yes, the b's and the ds. I think at mega
Speaker 1: three's like fish oils and magnesium. If you're just starting out,
Speaker 1: there'd be the true I'd get to start with, and
Speaker 1: then I would do get a full blood count done,
Speaker 1: So get all of your blood's done, get them to
Speaker 1: check all of your deficiencies, see where your body needs
Speaker 1: more support. You can even go a step further, which
Speaker 1: I'm about to go into with Levi, whether he can
Speaker 1: do genetic testing to see where like, genetically my body
Speaker 1: doesn't function as well. Yeah, and then I could have
Speaker 1: more specific supplements to help support that. So for me,
Speaker 1: like he wants to put me on supplements that help
Speaker 1: my capillaries and my veins and arteries because of my aneurysm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing.
Speaker 1: So there's obviously just different things to reditary that you know,
Speaker 1: you might have more weaknesses in. But if you're just
Speaker 1: listening to this and you're like, well, start looking to
Speaker 1: supplements a good quality magnesium and there's different types of magnetism.
Speaker 1: It's eleven different types, so depending on what you're wanting for,
Speaker 1: I take it for sleep, for muscle repair recovery, so
Speaker 1: I take like a glaconate one, and then a zinc one, Yeah, an.
Speaker 2: Amega freeze zach ones. That actually sent me a photo of.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so handy having LEVI like, he's one of my
Speaker 1: best mates. We've been in business, natchpath and nutritionist. If
Speaker 1: you remember of our app, you get access to him
Speaker 1: in the forum. He can answer all of your questions
Speaker 1: about this is incredible.
Speaker 2: So amazing, so knowledgeable.
Speaker 1: So knowledgeable.
Speaker 2: What tools have you learned over the years that have
Speaker 2: increased your happiness?
Speaker 1: I think one of the big ones that stands out
Speaker 1: for me is to just focus on what I do
Speaker 1: have and stop focusing what I don't have. I think
Speaker 1: that just puts me in such a better state day
Speaker 1: to day. So easy to focus on what you don't have,
Speaker 1: what you want, what's so far away. But if you
Speaker 1: just sit in gratitude more often of what you do
Speaker 1: have and really soak it in and enjoy that, I
Speaker 1: just think life's nicer. Yeah, probably one of my biggest ones.
Speaker 1: Another one that I put down is that life doesn't
Speaker 1: have to feel so heavy and serious all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it all starts with our mindset, right, Like it
Speaker 1: can feel so serious and heavy depending on what you've
Speaker 1: got going on. But like my mindset switch, once I
Speaker 1: got my date for my next surgery, I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let this consume me like it has.
Speaker 1: I'm just going to live my life as if I'm
Speaker 1: not getting surgery. You know what, I haven't even thought
Speaker 1: about it that much because once I made that conscious decision,
Speaker 1: I've been more focused on my everyday life and being
Speaker 1: so present and enjoying it. So it hasn't consumed me
Speaker 1: and taken up a lot of stress.
Speaker 2: You've made that choice, Yeah, I feel like for me,
Speaker 2: there's so many different things that kind of pop up.
Speaker 2: But learning how your brain works and learning that not
Speaker 2: every thought you think is actually a fact and a
Speaker 2: little thing that Like I've talked to this with Ashy
Speaker 2: Heat times. I've told Kurt about this so many times.
Speaker 2: Whenever I have a negative thought pop up around a situation,
Speaker 2: I always say to me, what are the five other options?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 2: And it has helped me so much. So, say, if
Speaker 2: somebody doesn't answer your phone call and you're like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, like they're not getting back to me, blah
Speaker 2: blah blah, and it's been like two weeks you've been
Speaker 2: try to contact them. You can be like, okay, so
Speaker 2: they could just be ignoring me, or maybe they're really
Speaker 2: stressed right now, maybe their phones disconnected or something's happened.
Speaker 2: Maybe they've forgotten to get back to me, but maybe
Speaker 2: it hasn't been going through. Like you can just think
Speaker 2: of all these different situations. And I think by doing
Speaker 2: that it's made me go, oh, okay, because you don't
Speaker 2: fixate our brain. What it's wide to do, and what
Speaker 2: it wants to do is pick one thing and fixate
Speaker 2: on and understand why.
Speaker 1: But if you keep safe, keep you safe.
Speaker 2: But if you can go oh yeah, that could be it,
Speaker 2: but also it might not be, everything just feels so
Speaker 2: much less personal.
Speaker 1: It's also nice for the person and the receiving end
Speaker 1: because you're being very generous with your assumptions, like you're
Speaker 1: not assuming the worst, you're assuming something else that just
Speaker 1: feel lighter, So then your energy is not going to
Speaker 1: be yucky towards them. Yeah, instantly being understanding, I.
Speaker 2: Feel like that's helped me a lot. Yeah, feel like
Speaker 2: that's helped me a lot, especially within relations.
Speaker 1: The other example you can give, like say that one
Speaker 1: of someone answering the phone, is there another situation.
Speaker 2: Just even say if Kurt is doing something and like
Speaker 2: seems short with me okay, or it's just anything even
Speaker 2: the kids, Like the kids will be something to be
Speaker 2: like far out they're being like this today, and then
Speaker 2: I'll think about, like how much sleep did they have
Speaker 2: last night? What about this? What did Lincoln say to
Speaker 2: Miller again this morning? Oh maybe she feels like that
Speaker 2: because he said that. Did I talk to her about that?
Speaker 2: So rather than just fixating on the one thing and
Speaker 2: I just try to stay to myself five options.
Speaker 1: That's amazing, Just five that's so powerful. I absolutely love that.
Speaker 2: It's really really this episode.
Speaker 1: That's incredible.
Speaker 2: It's really great.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, shared that with me before. I know. Wow,
Speaker 1: I'm so blown away, So you mustn't it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I use it all the time.
Speaker 1: I'm so going to use that. Yeah. It's kind of
Speaker 1: like that old one of like if it's not going
Speaker 1: to matter in five years time or something. Yeah, makes
Speaker 1: you think like I was this really worth getting this
Speaker 1: upset about?
Speaker 2: Definitely? And I think of, well, just knowing how your
Speaker 2: brain works. We as humans are wired to straight away
Speaker 2: think of the most negative outcome. So when you start
Speaker 2: to know that and be aware of that and be like,
Speaker 2: this is my brain protecting me protect this is what
Speaker 2: it wants to do. This is what it's doing. Hello,
Speaker 2: I know this is what you're thinking. I know what
Speaker 2: you're doing. You kind of acknowledge it. See it. It's
Speaker 2: catching yourself. It's going, how amazing you're catching yourself. Because
Speaker 2: as soon as you start to catch yourself, that's when
Speaker 2: you're making a change.
Speaker 1: The lame.
Speaker 2: That's it which gears. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another one that I've had is just to let go
Speaker 1: of jobs, of people, of businesses, of situations, of relationships,
Speaker 1: of whatever it is. If it's not feeling good, if
Speaker 1: it's not feeling aligned, it's not bringing you joy, it's
Speaker 1: not bringing new energy, to let go. I just always,
Speaker 1: I don't know, growing up, probably just for safety. Once again,
Speaker 1: you think, you know, once you find the one, or
Speaker 1: you know you've got this friend or you've got this job,
Speaker 1: you just want to keep it forever because that feels safe,
Speaker 1: and that means I'm worthy of it. If they disappear
Speaker 1: or abandon me, then like all that stuff comes up,
Speaker 1: but it's actually okay to cut the cord, unplug, and
Speaker 1: let go if it's not serving you anymore. And it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anyone's bad or anyone's anything wrong, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just you're living in alignment and you're choosing what's
Speaker 1: best for you and your life right now, which helps
Speaker 1: you show up as the best version of yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's uncomfortable, Just like I've closed down a business
Speaker 1: like that was really uncomfortable. That was a really hard
Speaker 1: decision that I know I would feel better on the
Speaker 1: other side, but to actually go through that process that
Speaker 1: took a lot. Not an easy decision. It's the same
Speaker 1: if you're listening to this and you're like, ow, I'm
Speaker 1: just not happy in my marriage. That's a big decision
Speaker 1: to make. But you have to know when to let go.
Speaker 2: Something that I feel like gives me a lot of
Speaker 2: happiness as well. Is having passion and.
Speaker 1: Purpose Oh so important.
Speaker 2: And it doesn't need to be a job at this that.
Speaker 2: It can be being a really fucking good mum. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it can be exercising and being like, fright, I'm really
Speaker 2: into the gym right now, and like, you know, just
Speaker 2: like researching about it. Having something that lights you up
Speaker 2: and gives you purpose and something you wake up each
Speaker 2: shape being excited about.
Speaker 1: I think that that's important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's really important. I feel like whenever
Speaker 2: I've gone through phases of life where you know, maybe
Speaker 2: early days of having a baby, when you can't really
Speaker 2: have much passion or purpose or you don't feel like
Speaker 2: you have it can motherhood. Outside of motherhood, it can
Speaker 2: feel a bit like, you know, a bit yucky. But
Speaker 2: as soon as you start to get that passion and
Speaker 2: purpose back, I feel like it definitely makes you get
Speaker 2: a lot happy.
Speaker 1: It's a good thing you brought that up, especially because
Speaker 1: a lot of our listeners are moms or new mums,
Speaker 1: because I remember feeling like that. Obviously, your baby gives
Speaker 1: you so much purpose, but outside of motherhood you feel
Speaker 1: a little bit dead inside.
Speaker 2: Can you dabble in a few things almost?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's why so many moms feel so lonely,
Speaker 1: And just like I hear a lot of moms say
Speaker 1: they're bored, and it's like, yeah, you can have moments
Speaker 1: of boredom because you're so used to being able to
Speaker 1: do different things and like go to your classes, or whatever,
Speaker 1: and like for that season of being with your baby,
Speaker 1: that's all you're doing. Yeah, and it can be tricky
Speaker 1: to navigate.
Speaker 2: So even letting you go of hobbies like that's another
Speaker 2: big thing that you know, people can be so passionate about,
Speaker 2: like having to not do them anymore for a season.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so once you come out of it, Okay.
Speaker 1: I've got a question. Do you believe that everyone can
Speaker 1: feel happiness again?
Speaker 2: I feel like it could take huge change. Huge change
Speaker 2: could take like you said before about like leaving a marriage,
Speaker 2: leaving a job, doing this, rewirrying your brain, months or
Speaker 2: years of therapy, doing any work. I truly believe that
Speaker 2: everyone can feel happy again. I really do. I feel
Speaker 2: like it's not easy, and I feel like you might
Speaker 2: grow through moments of still not being the happiest version
Speaker 2: of yourself, but I feel like you can definitely keep
Speaker 2: getting back there again.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I don't think I could have worded
Speaker 1: it any better. It takes conscious choice. Like hugeness just
Speaker 1: doesn't fall in your lap. It's not something that someone's
Speaker 1: just naturally born with. It's an emotional we feel like anger,
Speaker 1: like sad, like frustrated, But you can choose to find
Speaker 1: more happiness. And yeah, I think a lot of the
Speaker 1: darkest and hardest, most challenging times bring you out to
Speaker 1: the most happiness. Yeah, because it puts you where you
Speaker 1: want to go. It helps you live the life you want.
Speaker 2: To live, and you feel more grateful after you do it.
Speaker 1: You're grateful, you know.
Speaker 2: It changes the way that you show up, changes the
Speaker 2: way you think about things. Yeah. And it's like we
Speaker 2: always say too, like all the one percent is to
Speaker 2: be happy.
Speaker 1: Yes, the daily choices, right.
Speaker 2: The tiny things like tiny minut you're just like not
Speaker 2: shaking your phone three less times in the morning, or
Speaker 2: you know, all the tiny little things that you can do,
Speaker 2: and you think, oh, it's not really going to make
Speaker 2: that much of a significant change. Man, oh man, they do.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, because I reckon, I know about you,
Speaker 1: but all right, I wonder how many little one percentage
Speaker 1: we do each day, which actually could end up to
Speaker 1: be ten to fifteen things. Absolutely also the day of
Speaker 1: a week, of a month, of a year, that shits.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that's huge.
Speaker 2: And if all these little things are making you feel
Speaker 2: one percent better, you're going to be going from waking
Speaker 2: up in the morning already probably feeling pretty good because
Speaker 2: you had a good day before, and then you could
Speaker 2: end up feeling twenty percent better by the end of
Speaker 2: the day by making all these tiny little choices that
Speaker 2: take no extra time, might even take less time because
Speaker 2: if you're on your phone less, you probably have more time.
Speaker 2: You know. Yeah, such a choice, though, isn't it. It
Speaker 2: really is a choice, And it's like you gotta consciously
Speaker 2: stop yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and work on it. So true, if someone's
Speaker 1: listening and they just feel like they're taking all this information,
Speaker 1: they're like, yes, Kiera, yes, actually love all of that,
Speaker 1: but they just feel so so stuck, like with their
Speaker 1: next step, how would you recommend them to break through
Speaker 1: and like get through this yucky feeling and yucky position
Speaker 1: that they're in.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but whenever I am stuck
Speaker 2: and that is my feeling, the number one thing I
Speaker 2: do is I journal. I feel like it really helps
Speaker 2: me get unstuck. I just have blank pages. If I
Speaker 2: know what I'm wanting to do, it on just blank pages,
Speaker 2: and I just go through and write and write and
Speaker 2: write and do pros and cons and this and that
Speaker 2: and get clear on it. Yeah, but you need somewhere
Speaker 2: to like brain dump all of that. How do you
Speaker 2: start like I feel and then just start writing yeah,
Speaker 2: and then it's honestly different every single time, and then
Speaker 2: start making changes. Okay. Then at the very end, i'd
Speaker 2: go action plan, Yes, how am I going to do that?
Speaker 2: It might be fucking hard stuff that you have to
Speaker 2: do and go oh my gosh, and you might not
Speaker 2: want to do it just yet. You might go okay,
Speaker 2: and you like save up a bit of money before
Speaker 2: I quit my job. I'm up. You need to do
Speaker 2: this or do that, but you need an action plan
Speaker 2: in place, otherwise you're just going to keep staying in
Speaker 2: the same place that you are.
Speaker 1: That's what I love about the coaching that you do
Speaker 1: with women as well. It's not only just like having
Speaker 1: an hour session with you or like whatever. It's afterwards
Speaker 1: they've got the action plan of like, Okay, now I
Speaker 1: can do this and that. Because if you don't have
Speaker 1: any progression, you just you do feel stuck. You can
Speaker 1: know all the things, but if you don't know how
Speaker 1: to take that next step, yeah, yeah, you feel stuck
Speaker 1: and you keep repeating the same pattern.
Speaker 2: And because I don't see them for two weeks I
Speaker 2: think then they can go for two weeks and they
Speaker 2: know what they've got to do.
Speaker 1: In that cleario. Yeah, so powerful. My first thing that
Speaker 1: I do when I feel stuck, I think of energy.
Speaker 1: So it's move It's movement for me. If I ever
Speaker 1: feel stuck, it's like a brisk walk, it's a gym session,
Speaker 1: it's a dance class. It's just like literally physically moving
Speaker 1: my body helps me physically move through the energy. Once
Speaker 1: I've moved through whatever stagnant, icky energy I feel, then
Speaker 1: I feel like I've got clarity again, like that blurry
Speaker 1: cloud that's hanging over me. I feel like I can see,
Speaker 1: I can commune Kate, I can write down. I can
Speaker 1: just get more clear on where I'm at, what I'm feeling,
Speaker 1: and what I'm doing next. The movement is just it's
Speaker 1: honestly always been my biggest tool for everything in life
Speaker 1: is movement.
Speaker 2: Also, something that I've become hyper aware of now that
Speaker 2: is life changing is whenever you're feeling really stuck and
Speaker 2: whenever you are like feeling like I need to get
Speaker 2: to the wom of it, I need to get to
Speaker 2: the womb, but I need you to do this that
Speaker 2: detakeeation and blah blah blah. That is not the time
Speaker 2: to do anything. Just still, be still, be still, let
Speaker 2: the waves come over you. You're in a low mood.
Speaker 2: Whenever you're in a low mood state is not the
Speaker 2: time to take action. You need to wait until you're
Speaker 2: feeling like at your peak again and then go related yep,
Speaker 2: and then go revisit it. So even with like work stresses,
Speaker 2: if something pops up and I'm like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: you know, like that didn't go great, Now we need
Speaker 2: to do this, It's like they're not the days to
Speaker 2: visit it. It's like, Okay, let's have a chat about
Speaker 2: this on Wednesday, when we've gone through the.
Speaker 1: Motion fresh es staate.
Speaker 2: Otherwise you're just running on water, like you're just like
Speaker 2: trying to frantically get stuff done. It's not well aligned.
Speaker 2: You're not thinking about what to do properly. You're doing
Speaker 2: it out of fear, yeah, rather than actually doing what's
Speaker 2: aligned with you.
Speaker 1: And you're so frazzled. You can't make good quality of
Speaker 1: decisions when you're not the time to like regulate, calm,
Speaker 1: get ground, and get centered and then yeah, take a step.
Speaker 1: So true, nothing worse than making decisions when you're frazzled
Speaker 1: or emotional notional.
Speaker 2: And can I say that now, like even if we
Speaker 2: want to have a conversation and like it's a bit
Speaker 2: of a confrontational one, like Babe, I'm in a low mood. Yes,
Speaker 2: let's have the chat. Let's have the chat tomorrow. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, sweet, and I will too. I'll be
Speaker 2: like I'm in a low mood right now, like just
Speaker 2: wait till my mood's back up, because.
Speaker 1: You know you can't handle as well, and you always
Speaker 1: say things you don't mean, or say things reacting or yeah,
Speaker 1: y say things that you'll regret and just be like fuck,
Speaker 1: I don't actually want that.
Speaker 2: But when you're in a low mood, everything feels really urgent,
Speaker 2: so you feel like you have to get it done
Speaker 2: right now. And it's like, what's actually.
Speaker 1: Going to die if you wait?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so funny, but to you, it feels so
Speaker 2: like you have to do it right now.
Speaker 1: And that can be in any situation, hey, Like if
Speaker 1: it's financial, for example, you feel like, fuck, if we
Speaker 1: don't take action, like do something quickly with work here,
Speaker 1: then we're gonna lose money or to pay I don't
Speaker 1: know whatever. Yeah, you think you have to do it
Speaker 1: then and there, but if you actually just take some
Speaker 1: time to recharge and plug back into yourself, you'll come
Speaker 1: back with so many.
Speaker 2: More ideas one hundred percent, and you have so many
Speaker 2: good ideas and.
Speaker 1: Be so much more productive.
Speaker 2: Yes yeah, yeah, Like I said, you're not acting out
Speaker 2: of fear. It's not exerting as much energy. Yes, yeah, alright, what.
Speaker 1: Are the first three things that you do? I know
Speaker 1: what you do, but share with everyone. That's the first
Speaker 1: three things you do when you wake up in the morning.
Speaker 2: Yes, first thing now is meditate every single morning. Miller's
Speaker 2: been doing like four mornings a week with me as well.
Speaker 1: She loves it.
Speaker 2: So meditate every morning. I read normally four between depends
Speaker 2: how earlier I get up, yeah, anywhere from ten minutes
Speaker 2: to an hour. And then I have a shower. I
Speaker 2: put on a podcast while I'm having my shower. Sometimes
Speaker 2: the kids are running up and down while meditating, jumping
Speaker 2: on me Mom, like morning, baby, Mum's doing your meditation.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Eaten taught me that we can do that and it's okay.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, in my shower, I try to really
Speaker 2: have it as like my nice time for me as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, have my.
Speaker 2: Morning shower, put all my nice creams on my heart
Speaker 2: away and do my makeup and listen to a podty
Speaker 2: at the same time. And then yeah, I'm set for
Speaker 2: the day. And like I said, it's not as relaxing
Speaker 2: as it sounds all the time. Sometimes the kids run up.
Speaker 2: Probably three mornings a week. I will have a cold
Speaker 2: shower at the end, only ten seconds. I'm a bit
Speaker 2: of a silk in winter.
Speaker 1: To your top three meditate book and shower and shower, Yeah,
Speaker 1: mine would be stretch, make my bed and skull, water
Speaker 1: and tongues grape Doug's. That's the first, like first things
Speaker 1: that I do. But at the moment, I'm four mornings
Speaker 1: a week, going to the gym very early. I get
Speaker 1: up at like four twenty, meet Tiana at five, so
Speaker 1: I'll have my sea mass, I'll have my decaf no
Speaker 1: decaf coffee. It's so funny. It's such a placebo.
Speaker 2: It's such a placebo.
Speaker 1: Enjoy the taste of it.
Speaker 2: Do you know what somebody told me though they messaged me.
Speaker 2: They said to me, just to let you know though
Speaker 2: decaf isn't actually caffeine free. And I wrote back and
Speaker 2: I said, oh my gosh. I was like gosh. I
Speaker 2: was like, how much caffeine does it have? And they say, well,
Speaker 2: it's ninety eight percent caffeine in free.
Speaker 1: Goodness.
Speaker 2: I had a giggle. I was like, well, I'm ninety
Speaker 2: eight percent caffeine free. Then correctly, I said, it's a
Speaker 2: whole lot better than've been completely one caffeinated.
Speaker 1: Well, see, I go to the gym, have my degcaf
Speaker 1: on the way, come to town. Yeah, go home like
Speaker 1: quarter past six. Yeah, kids get up at six thirty,
Speaker 1: so quickly shower, put my makeup on, and they get
Speaker 1: the kids up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I did bottle.
Speaker 1: We hang in the lounge room was a family for
Speaker 1: like half an hour, and then it's like lunch, breakfast, school, dress,
Speaker 1: chaos out.
Speaker 2: Oh I feel you're on the chaos.
Speaker 1: Half an hour chill and then I'm like a sergeant,
Speaker 1: all right, taj, let's do it. Yeah. While she's hanging
Speaker 1: on my hip, climbing on my leg. Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: My reading's like my gym time for me in the morning. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I really love it. But then I do gym in
Speaker 2: the day.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's good. I do like the mornings, but I
Speaker 1: like getting it done because I feel like the endorphins
Speaker 1: I get like overflow. I agree, Yeah, okay, so we've
Speaker 1: done morning. What's the last three things you do at night?
Speaker 2: Five out of seven nights a week. I sauna, Oh beautiful,
Speaker 2: which is just sometimes it's like my favorite part of
Speaker 2: my day.
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, I love it so much.
Speaker 2: I have my feminine shower. This is why listening to
Speaker 2: nice music. I have those little like a light mirror,
Speaker 2: so it's got like the beautiful little soft light and
Speaker 2: I put that on and it's like all dark except
Speaker 2: for that.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 2: Just really set the mood to unwind. And then I
Speaker 2: cuddle with my hobby, yeah, watch a show and go
Speaker 2: to sleep.
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about you.
Speaker 1: I feel like my showers are kind of earlier, like
Speaker 1: with the kids. Yeah, but mine would probably be like
Speaker 1: snuggle with Steve for sure, take my supplements, and then
Speaker 1: normally gratitude. Tonight, I write down like three things I'm
Speaker 1: grateful for. Oh that's so yeah. And I always put
Speaker 1: rains sound on before I go to sleep too.
Speaker 2: I do that as well. Understands how good I love? Honestly,
Speaker 2: nighttime routines. How good are they? When you know you're
Speaker 2: going to bed the best the best.

Speaker 1: things takeaways. There definitely some takeaways. We just wanted to

Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm so pumped. Yes.
Speaker 1: Ps. Everyone thinks self love is liking what you see
Speaker 1: in the mirror or taking a long candle lip bath,
Speaker 1: but what actually self love is is believing in yourself,
Speaker 1: not restricting your favorite foods, setting boundaries forgiving yourself, rewiring
Speaker 1: negative thought patterns, making peace with not being perfect, fueling
Speaker 1: yourself with real food, standing up for yourself, working on
Speaker 1: your flaws and toxic behaviors, not fitting in with other
Speaker 1: people's expectations, getting enough sleep, learning when to say yes
Speaker 1: and also know. Staying committed to your goals and committed
Speaker 1: to living your best life because we only have one.
Speaker 2: Oh I love that one. That's so good. Ps Chase
Speaker 2: real dopamine, sun ice, sauna runs a get you high,
Speaker 2: workouts that hurt but feel like magic, slow walks at sunset,
Speaker 2: calm mornings in meditation, visualize, connect, create, sprint towards your
Speaker 2: future self field what you wish existed, and refuse to
Speaker 2: spend your life on screens because you won't reach your
Speaker 2: potential if dopamine is always within reach.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so beautiful, so true, so true. Yeah lots.
