OFF STAGE with Lisa O'Neill

We often talk about what goes into our bodies and we're conscious of our physical diet, but I don't think enough of us are conscious of a head diet or a mind diet.

Breathing is one of the things that will impact your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual energy all at the same time. When my head and my heart can't agree, I give myself the space to just breathe. The Energy Club is for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their energy. People who want support, accountability and inspiration. Join me at lisaoneill.co.nz

There is no point working hard, saving money just to die. The whole point of life is to enjoy it and have experiences. Every now and then, one must have a consolidation week where you just have to do the mercy of all the shit you haven't been doing.

We are not born new. We are born renewed, rested and restored from our previous battles, but scarred nonetheless. 

Sleep is so vital because it's like a body reset, and I think of it as a software upgrade. Creating a space for sleep is something that's worth looking into.

From hosting 60 amazing women at our first-ever energy festival in Hamilton to unexpectedly meeting my idol Liz Gilbert, I'm buzzing to share it all with you. Join me as I chat about these magical moments and get a sneak peek at what's coming up in Hawke's Bay and Alexandra!

My overachieving energy has turned into me constantly overdoing things. Perfectionism is an energy, and there's a fear there of not being good enough. Find joy in the mess. Embrace imperfection.

Relationships should be two way streets where you get and you give. If you're just giving all the time or you just become their problem bulletin board, find a way to pause them.

Looking forward to stuff gives me so much energy. It fills my cup.  What could you look forward to?

I think our lives are just loads of eras, all sequenced up. What's the thing that you're into at the moment?

Keep an eye on your physical energy, know how your body is feeling, and take the time to at least once a week check in with your body as if it is what your body requires.

I just decided it was time for whatever the fuck I want weekend. A weekend of relaxation, creativity, doing the things I love. I tried to override my settings.

There’s no excuse for being rude. We're not always able to be amazing but just be decent and don't be rude.

My word this year is buoyant. To be buoyant, you need space; you can’t bob around if your shoulders are touching the walls. Getting rid of a third of everything makes your life 33% better.

Break free from people-pleasing, set boundaries, and design a life you love. It's time to stop existing and start truly living.

This week, I'm getting myself organized and looking after my body, and prioritizing myself over all the facts. We get burnt out when our energy outweighs our energy in so be gentle with yourself.

When you feel wobbly, eat, sleep, and write. Eating, sleeping, and writing are probably three of my biggest priorities every day.

If it's your first day back at work, be nice to yourself, be lovely. Just float around. Give yourself some space.

The beautiful chaos of farewelling my mother-in-law, celebrating my last year of school parenting, and setting intentions for 2025.

What's been the highlight of your year? Who's been the person of your year? What's been the best thing? What do you not want? What are you not taking into next year with you?

The 9th to the 15th of December is what I call The Before Before. This is the week to get organised before the real Christmas rush hits. This week is full of hope.

What are you not providing for yourself? What is the thing that you need that you've been avoiding? Find out what you need and go get it done. 

Exciting trip to Fiji, reflecting on a busy year and the chaotic energy of the holiday season.

Everything you see is not as it seems. Everything you look at doesn’t show you the chaos behind it. Don't worry about the chaos.

In this episode, I had a conversation with one of my favorite energy experts, Karla Brodie, who is an experienced yoga teacher and expert in rest and embodiment practices. We explored the importance of rest as a learned skill, challenging the notion that rest is lazy while discussing practical ways to incorporate restorative practices into daily life. Karla shared her knowledge from 30 years of te...
