SELF Care 101

Life isn’t always rosey and sometimes, all the work that you can put in to achieve your goals can feel like they're in vein. In those tough times, I look to spirituality to help me get through. Spirituality for me is not just about religion and certainly not about any one teaching. I believe in ancient wisdom, learning from those who have walked before us and in discovering your own path to s...

Lockdown has opened us up to the world of self-care and wellbeing more than any other time since the wellness industry started to gain traction. At any given hour, there is a live yoga class, sound therapy, breath-work, meditation, EFT and a whole host of other off-shoots from eastern philosophy. On social media, every scroll offers us up a new way to look after ourselves, another type of class to...

I hear you and in this episode, I’m going to help you figure out what’s going on and help you to get some much needed clarity and direction for your next steps. Lockdown has been difficult for many reasons but I think the biggest reason is the amount of time it has actually given us to thin...

In this episode I’m talking about why you should exercise your mind and not just your body. This is a potentially controversial one today but it’s been a while since I called out the wellness industry and this time, as we head into round 2 of lockdown in this pandemic, I think it’s time to share this. No matter how many posts and articles I see about raising the awareness of mental health, loads o...

This episode marks one whole year of the Self Care 101 podcast’s existence. It’s also my 40th birthday this week.

I’ve talked a lot about taking this time as an opportunity for growth. Whether that’s personal growth by way of self-development or more practical pursuits like work and home-life. I want to take this a little further today and provide you with some information that has not only inspired me but also helps in getting truly practical about using this time as an opportunity.  I have a lot of mentors....
