OFF STAGE with Lisa O'Neill

The last week of November has to be dedicated to the Christmas planning because once December starts, you're fucked.

Life loves a vacuum, so when you end something, you create space for new opportunities. You open the door for new beginnings.

This year is getting crazy. If I was running a marathon, I think we're in the last sprint. It's nearly December. We're really at the pointy end.

Everything we do has hard times and amazing times, and we need to acknowledge when things are hard. What is hard for you right now? What’s the challenge you want taken off you?

I'm not really into work life balance. I am into work life integration.

If you can take the time to consider the other person's ideas and expectations, I think it makes you more well-rounded. It's something I think we should remind each other of all the time.

I'm going to force myself to have some slow starts and some early finishes. That's what I like to do when I've got space.

Sometimes it's really hard to not agree. Just get those words out. If I can get more people to speak up before I die, I'll be happy.

What does November hold for you? What do you need to lock in now? It's time to start planning around Christmas and the rest of the year.

We've all got stories, shit that happened to us and people did to us. These stories are like boxes. We need to process our stories and move forward without carrying these boxes.

In this episode, I had a conversation with my friend, reverend and spiritual practitioner, Rachel Wotten. We talked about Rachel's journey from skeptic to a spiritual guide, the nature of intuition, different perspectives, and how to incorporate spiritual practices into daily life. The Energy Club is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their energy. People who want support, accoun...

Energy is designed to give away, but we also need to be really mindful of how much energy is in there.

Happy World Menopause Day! I don't think there's a person on the planet who isn't impacted by menopause, so listen up. This episode is not for menopausal women only. It's for you, too.

What have you got every day this week? Get some little treats for yourself, some pockets of perfect.

Spending time with your family is important. It's an opportunity to learn about ourselves. 

Be curious, explore possibilities, lead with love. Talk about things you love, hang out with people you love, try things you love, lean into the love space. Break free from everyday routine and start living.

When I'm going over the equator, I listen to Jonathan Goldman's Chakra tuner so I don't get jetlag. Back into my New Zealand life, it's time to compartmentalize. I've got conferences, events, and a Repotted retreat coming up and it's time to start thinking about Christmas!

Get good at decisions. Be present to what you truly want.

In this episode of the Energy Club podcast, our focus is on the importance of understanding our own energy through a three-step process: noticing, nurturing, and nourishing ourselves. Different foods, fabrics, and environments can impact our energy levels. Let's all slow down and reflect on what affects our energy. The Energy Club is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their energy.&nb...

Travel changes you. It opens your mind and your eyes. It makes you think about the things that you have always thought were normal. It lets you experience new food and new cultures.

People often talk about people being judgmental as a negative thing but I do believe it can have some merits. What are the things that you judge people on?

Turning up turned on means you're ready like you're on. You've got everything you need, you are ready to go. Are you ready?

If I had one wish to grant every woman in the world, it would be that you can ask for what you want. You're confident to tell people what you think and that you can be flexible and flowing in your beliefs. 

Having a pocket of perfect is very important. Giving yourself space, doing stuff for you. Put something in every week into your life just for you. What is the thing you do for you? 

Who are your friends? This weekend, phone a friend, connect with your friends and find new friends.
