Get Merry

Before we get into this post let’s get you in the right frame of mind. Find a comfy seat, or simply get comfy where you are, roll the shoulders, shift a little side to side and now… find some stillness. Relax your shoulders.  Relax your face, feel the expression melt away as you read these words . Now take a deep breath in… and open the mouth, let the breath go, like you’re fogging up the gla...

In this episode, we had a chat with the amazing Dani Smith, a certified Wim Hof practitioner and Remedial Massage Therapist. Dani shared her Wim Hof experience and the importance of proper breathing. Stuff we talk about… How Dani's dad got sick and made her interested in starting her Wim Hof training. Health is the most valuable commodity that we have. How Dani's Wim Hof training helped her arrive...

In the light of the situation (global pandemic) that we're all living through right now, it's like we've been given this time and space to take stock of everything, an opportunity to re-look and re-evaluate at our goals. But with this also comes the pressure to get it all done and the anxiety of not doing enough during this time. Stuff we talk about… Not having time is just an excuse. The truth is...

What we’re all experiencing right now (global pandemic) is a challenge, but you know what? It’s also a time to seek out opportunities. Within these last four weeks, amongst the business and job loss we've also observed and experienced personal and business growth. It's been amazing to see people start new things, to move their offline business to online. It's truly inspiring to see people embracin...

Now is the time to do things other than watching Netflix! ;) How about feeding your mind with books that inspire, motivate and teach you something you never knew before? During this week's episode, we chat about 12 of our favorite books that do not only entertain but create motivation and inspiration to get moving. This list is for you if you want some personal development or if you want to feel m...

During this Get Merry podcast episode, we chat about a bunch of perspective shifts we've experienced over the last few weeks. You probably have had them too... maybe the same as us?!  Whether you're in forced lockdown or self-isolating with all non-essential businesses closed... life is different. Stuff we talk about… This experience is showing us all what is important and what is not. I...

We had an amazing chat with David Norris, an occupational therapist who specialises in brain health and wow did he blow our minds!

Dementia erodes lives, creates dependency, alters roles, relationships and impacts families and communities.   If you've noticed...

Are you suddenly working from home and everything is so weird and confusing? Not only because the world is in lockdown or self-isolation, but how the heck do you actually get work done at home? And what do you eat? How do you work with your significant other... right next to you? After working from home (also we just learnt the acronym WFH haha) for 7 years we got your backs, we got all the do's a...

How should we be reacting to the Coronavirus? It's a good question because never have we ever experienced something like what we are experiencing right now. Since when were 'self-isolation' and 'social distancing' words we used and things recommended for us all to do!? Literally we didn't even know what these terms were a week ago! The world feels weird, it feels strange, everything feels upside d...

We chat to  Dr Lea Freeman  on all things Coronavirus. We ask her about the symptoms of the Coronavirus, toilet paper and social distancing. If you want more motivation to #staythef*ckathome tune in. NO we don’t want to cause anxiety and YES we want to stay positive but we don’t want to be ignorant. It’s time to get real, Coronavirus is here and we can all take actions to help the s...

During this week's episode we chat about Facebook pic tags... the tag you absolutely hate. Where you see it and you say to yourself... "WTAF. This photo is horrible, I look gross, ewww I can see my stomach, urgh my arm is huge, why did they post that, they did it on purpose, far out I really do have a double chin." ...or something like that anyway. Warning: we almost had a sister disagreement on t...

We're so excited about this Get Merry Podcast episode. In this week's episode, we chat with our beautiful friend Jaimee Maree. We met her at a business conference and it was instant love. She's been in online business for almost 10 years so she has a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.  If you run a business or if you're thinking about starting a biz, or if your goal is to work your...

Without a doubt, we both believe there are more pressures for women to look good compared to men. But also, we're well aware that our perspectives are somewhat, maybe completely bias (because we are women) but let's be real here... there is more pressure for women to 'look good' compared to men.  And don't worry we know there are a whole set of other pressures for men that women might not exp...

We watched Taylor Swift's documentary on the weekend and we knew we had to talk about Miss Americana on the Get Merry podcast.  We always loved her music. We always loved her. But NOW... oh wow, the love for Taylor Swift is so big! Stuff we talk about… The constant goal of being 'a good girl' and 'doing what is right'. We can relate to this in so many ways! We talk about Joseph Campbell's quo...

This Get Merry Podcast episode was inspired by pizza, hence the name. And no... it's not 40 minutes of us talking about pizza and how to make it.

We had so much fun cross stitching in Canberra with our Mum. But who would have thought you could receive so many profound life lessons from a cross-stitch?!  One thing we know for sure... cross-stitching is our new favourite obsession and it inspired this Get Merry podcast episode! Stuff we talk about… The power of single focus... multi-tasking is so 2012! Why you should do your best fo...

During our last episode, we felt proud of ourselves... we were organised and we got our message across in a super concise way (even Kim, our videographer mentioned this hehe). Well, this episode is the complete opposite! We chatted on a cruisey Sunday afternoon, it's literally us having a conversation about life and what it means to live with LOVE vs. FEAR.  It's an episode on navigating life...

During this Get Merry Podcast episode, we chat goals and visions for 2020. It's not a drill down on specific goals... it's more thinking of the bigger picture. And we will ask YOU questions that will help you create your own big (or small) vision for 2020.  Stuff we talk about… Think of 3 words or themes you wish to welcome into the New Year. Our words are Unafraid, Connection, Prosperity. Li...

During this episode, we chat about 2019 and our themes for 2020. We reflect on the lessons from 2019, the good, the bad, the mess and the magic.

Creating this weekly show has been one of the most favourite aspects of our business. Without yo...

Rituals welcome in a sense of sacredness. They connect us to something bigger, they add magic to life. Whether you know about them or not, every single day you perform rituals. You wake up and you get out of bed, maybe you order your coffee, you make your brekky, you say hi to your work colleagues, you tick off your to-do list. Yes, every day you do many tasks that are done every single day. The c...

This Get Merry podcast episode is a reminder that change can be scary and that you'll most probably never feel ready to take that leap. You'll never feel ready to quit the job, say yes to the first date, move overseas, you'll never quite feel ready to say yes to your dreams and desires. It's also a reminder about the fact that YOU are not here for an infinite time, so although you may not feel rea...

During episode 221 we touched on the topic of loneliness and it sparked interest from many of you. Next minute we read an ABC article talking about a recent Aussie study on loneliness. The study found that the most lonely age group is 18-24 and that inner-city dwellers are more lonely than rural communities. It also mentioned that loneliness increases the risk of death more than things as poor die...
