Self Love Podcast

‘Surfing brought joy back into my life and I just kind of sobbed as I paddled out into the line-up and a Brahminy kite was flying overhead, and I just sobbed at the gift of choosing joy again in my life, and the ocean brought it back in for me. Which is what it did when I learnt how to surf at 46 as well. There was just this experience of choosing joy and choosing the wild inside that surfing brin...

If there is one word that is often overused, misused or misinterpreted in many different ways, it is love. Love is an incredible expression and a word that carries many emotions. Our children can use it to describe anything from a favourite pair of shoes to a favourite meal. And as parents we may wonder the kind of impact it can have on our children. But there is one amazing place to start cultiva...

‘I think fundamentally we have to break up with all these old programming like punch through, work hard, push, do your best, turn up exhausted and then it shows that you have got this badge of honour. The tall-poppy syndrome – yes it did exist – but we’re buying into it even more now, and I think confidence is unstoppable but that needs to come from within and we need to almost re-write the script...

Yin and yang is a concept originated in ancient Chinese philosophy that describes how obviously opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. In this week’s quicky we look at the important of the extremes in movement and how important the balance is for...

‘So, the research has become a very, very big part of it, even though people don’t want to say, like the pharmaceutical companies, oh this is true it does work, that’s why they have to have this knowledge behind them, and this is why the research goes into so much today. It’s just like how we learnt how to use herbs, we just worked with them and I suppose in the very beginning there wasn’t a lot o...

One of life’s biggest challenges we sometimes face is the ability to prioritise oneself. We get told all the time if we do not top our own tank first we will not have anything left for others. Today we take a moment to truly honour the important aspects of self-care physically, emotionally and spiritually.   Links to follow: Website: https://twenty8.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twenty...

‘I suppose I look at myself and think, well I have been working here on the Coast now since June 2000 so it’s 23 years, so I am well established here, my business is going well, I know lots of people and so it’s very much now my turn to give back, or how can I contribute and make a difference in my community and whether that be through my role at Visit Sunshine Coast focused on our event and touri...

Basil is a herbaceous oil that is derived from the flowering tops and leaves through steam distillation. Known botanically as Ocimum basilicum this beautiful oil is renowned throughout history for being the ‘royal herb’.  Originating from the Greek word basileus which means ‘king- like’ it has a very noble and strong aroma that was prescribed in the Middle Ages for depression and melancholy behavi...

‘Lead with compassion and with values, strong values because people will align to that and that’s the thing that will help them to feel fulfilled, to have a sense of wellbeing, to fulfil their professional aspirations but also to sustain their personal health and wellness, which is critically important. If you want longevity of your team to bring them with you then they need to be fully sustained....

1:09:22 – 1:10:00 - Paul ‘A belief is really a feeling of certainty around something. Our beliefs are formed in different stages and usually there’s a decision made that precedes the belief. Sometimes people have one event one situation happen and from that moment on they think I am good enough or I am not good enough, or whatever different belief they could give themselves. And then they go throu...

There is an evolving science around epigenetics which considers how our genes are affected by a constantly changing environment and what we expose ourselves to each and every day.

‘People can see things in you that you can’t see in yourself. They can see the impact that you are having. I call it a ‘genius zone’ and I believe people don’t know what their genius zone is, and people are always searching for their purpose. And if you actually just sat really quietly, it’s all already inside you and sometimes the clues come from when the people around you saying things and if yo...

We all know that today’s lifestyle is often at odds with the past. And this is even more obvious when it comes to our sleep patterns. Our ancestors followed a more natural daily cycle where they rose with the sun and went to bed at sundown. When we follow a similar pattern, we are in alignment with specific hormonal changes in our body that are responsible for putting us to sleep and waking with e...

‘We definitely need both. I mean without emergency medicine and intensive cares and Western medicine we unfortunately wouldn’t be able to survive certain events and things happening. So, absolutely appreciate and adore that system for what it is. And then when it comes to the Eastern medicine and integrative health and bringing the two together with functional medicine, it looks at the root cause....

What do you do with a problem that just seems to follow you around and doesn’t want to go away? You can ignore it, run from it or worry more about it.

‘I really believe that the people who are working within the system are doing their absolute best to provide really beautiful care for their clients, their patients and the people in there, but looking outside of those systems allows us to look at human beings as whole and find them new resources and ways to be able to do things. And it takes them out of the need for just the diagnostic and the la...
