There is a word I have never really associated with that strongly and that word is ‘organised’. But as I have got older (and less wiser) I have found I have craved a greater sense of order in my life. Perhaps it’s the busy-ness that comes with constantly juggling keeping a little one alive, cleaning the house and finding enough creativity to help pay the mortgage and bills. My old ways of she’ll be right just don’t feel quite ‘enough’ anymore. I need more structure, discipline and hacks! So...

Let’s talk about SECTS BABY! I am joined today by Sarah Steel who is the host of the award-winning podcast Let’s Talk About Sects which focuses on a different cult each episode. Sarah regularly looks at the recruitment of members, their experiences, psychological aspects, and notable incidents during the sect’s existence.

We talk entitlement, taking responsibility for our actions and the power of...

New year, new you! Ahh we have heard it all before. Why is it that so often the resolutions we set for a new year don’t actually stick?

If you wanna work with the lovely Bridge she is running a course to  help you get set up for the year ahead and truly align...

In 2018 Lottie Dalziel made the resolution to be kinder to the planet but struggled to find reliable sources on the subject with easy info to follow. Instead of being disheartened she saw an opportunity and founded Banish, an online platform with easy to digest information and methods to help reduce everyday waste.

We get heavy, we get silly, talking everything from anxiety, endometriosis, being yourself and what the future looks like for Miss Tomasel… also why we’re not allowed...

Today we hear some advice that Brodie Kane would tell her 18 year old self… it’s sort of a question I’ve started asking my guests lately as I find the answers to be quite thought provoking. I thought it was only fair after playing hers that I reflect on a letter I wrote my younger self a couple of years ago. Is the advice still relevant or super cringe? I dissect after hearing Brodie… Happy Friday! X Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Following on from this week’s ep with Dr Abbie I wanted to dedicate a section to things you can do at home. I completely understand actually going to an acupuncturist may not be suitable/affordable for a lot of people so in this mini episode we look at practical things you can do to boost your health without breaking the bank! One of the suggestions is to incorporate foot baths and personally I totally rate it! Hope you enjoy xo Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
