In this episode I share two stories of friends who are Mom's who came to me, sharing how they're uncertain whether they've made the right choices in life. One works full time, and one stays home with her kids full time. Both of them feel inadequate, unsure and judged.

This episode is not about motherhood; nor is it an episode relevant to only parents. This episode is about something we all face - finding happiness in our own unique juggle of balance in life. Whether you're a full time student, just starting a career, a new Mom, a new Dad, or a world traveler, we all struggle with the comparison game and finding a balance that works for us.

Happy listening.

In this episode I chat with Campfire Conversations founder, Nicolette Louw. Nicolette is a former Speech Therapist who, after navigating her own midlife trauma alone, saw the need for more authentic & healing conversations in our communities. Her journey to seeking deeper conversations with the people around her led her to establish a company called Campfire Conversations.

Campfire is a philosophy, a practise & a structure rooted in holding space, vulnerability, non-judgmental awareness & self-processing. These conversations take place among groups of around five people and these engagements are governed by four central pillars. 

In this first ever dive into the "why" behind Nicolette's Campfire Conversations, we unpack how the idea came about, the four central pillars of deeper and more connective conversations, and why this approach to listening and sharing is so important for us individually and as a society.

This
episode is an oldie but a goodie. In fact, it is one of my best chats of all
time, and a most listened to episode. And I am bringing it back to you in perfect
timing friends, because (drum roll…………) we are going to record again in a few
short weeks! Stay tuned for the amazing update.

Before
I bring you the newest version of the CEO of Self-Love herself, you have to
listen to this incredibly raw and inspiring chat we had in 2020.

In
this episode, Tracey and I dive deep into her “why” behind the popular
@fitnessgirl_za journey. In late 2016, after struggling to recover from a
common cold, Tracey-Lee realised that she needed to change her way of life. Her
doctor informed her that if she did not lose the weight now and commit to a
healthy and active lifestyle, that she would develop diabetes and other
catastrophic health concerns. Tracey-Lee realised that her way of life then had
led her to gain more than 50KGs in the preceding two years and, as such, she
chose to make some serious changes. She embarked on a mission to prove to herself
that she could achieve anything she put her mind to.

To
remain accountable, Tracey-Lee made the brave and vulnerable decision to share
her honest journey on Instagram and created her account @fitnessgirl_za.
Initially her intention was for the account to be her commitment device and to
act as a visual diary of her own progress and achieved goals. With dedication
and commitment and lots of hard work, she endlessly sought the happiness that
she believed would undoubtedly be found in her “goal weight”. However,
@fitnessgirl_za eventually turned into so much more; it became a testimony of
realising her innate worthiness, regardless of her size or weight. That
happiness, she realised, was always there irrespective of her weight.

Tracey-Lee
is the full package. Not only is she a fitness motivator and body positive
advocate/influencer, but she is also a full-time family law attorney. To this
day, she holds the eyes of nearly 40,000 women from around the world, all
shapes, sizes and nationalities, who are inspired by her truth, humility and
very public internal shift from goals to gratitude.

In
this episode we unpack how Tracey-Lee’s purpose and intentions for her brand
shifted from aesthetic weight conscious goals to self-love and body positive
goals; all while sharing her mental health shift publicly and with
vulnerability over the last 4 years. We discuss why she is a mental health
warrior, her tips for how she handles her anxiety, how she juggles the balance
between her legal career and her personal brand, and so much more. Most
importantly, we address how “healthy” is the new skinny and worthiness is a
CHOICE made within.

It
was a dream to speak with such an authentic, raw, and motivational person – I
am truly inspired, and you will be too. Happy listening!

In the continued spirit of personal development, I am
bringing you another solo episode today about “choosing your hard”.

We all heard it growing up, “life isn’t fair”. The truth is,
it is not fair, and it is really hard! Staying unfit is hard, getting fit is
hard. Staying unhappy is hard, getting happy is hard. Having no boundaries is
hard to deal with, setting boundaries is hard if you haven’t been doing that!
Change is hard. Life is hard. But we have a CHOICE.

This is a short and sweet solo episode that may be the motivation you
or someone you know needs to hear today about making that tough choice.

Happy listening.

Your host,

Christina
