Yes You

If you're starting a new business, or even just thinking about it, it can feel like there's SOOO much you need to know. In today's episode I'm sharing what I wish I knew before I started my business, and it just may surprise you. Let's Connect! Please get in touch with any questions, suggestions for future episode topics, and to let me know how you're going applying w...

Gratitude is more than an airy-fairy buzz word. There are loads of studies that show the positive effects of practising gratitude. Apart from anything else - it makes you feel good! Join me in this episode as I share three real-life benefits that all of us can tap into. This is the last episode for Season 2 of Yes You.  I'll be having a little break and will be back with you on the 26th Septe...

In this meditation, I will guide you through a process of creating a sense of space and easy throughout your body, before asking your body to speak to you. In a state of deep relaxation, it's a beautiful opportunity to listen to the deep knowing within your body.  This session follow on from last week's episode on remembering you have a body. If you haven't already, have a listen to...

Patriarchal culture espouses the devaluing and domination of the body - especially women's bodies. They're controlled, shrunk, groomed, objectified and judged. Even in spiritual or religious traditions, the body is often considered a distraction or temptation - something to be transcended. With all this going on, it's understandable that we've learned to ignore our bodies, how...

We all want to be successful, right? But have you considered what that really means for you? There's no definitive example of a successful person, life, or business. It means something different for each of us, and is ours to define for ourselves. What does it mean for you? Success is not so much a finish line to cross, but a north star guiding us on our way. It's away of being, regardle...

I've been through burnout twice, and I learned a lot each time. And last time, I made a promise to myself that I'd never let it happen again.  In this episode we're taking a look at what burnout is and what we can do to help prevent it. I share my experiences of being burnt out and lessons I've learned along the way, as well as tips for how to recognise it and what to do if you...

Have you ever thought about tracking the seasons in your business? I don't mean just tracking sales. I mean paying attention to the ebb and flow unique to your business. As you build a picture of this over time, you can begin to anticipate what's ahead and make plans to use each season in the best way for you.  A quiet patch in business can be stressful if it's unexpected and you do...

Naturopath (and my sister🥰) Louisa Carter shares what she sees in her practice supporting women through perimenopause. Often people have recently ramped up anxiety, sleep issues, and PMS with seemingly no explanation, not realising the hormonal fluctuations of this life season could be responsible. We chat about how to best support yourself during this time, and Louisa shares her own approach, pe...

In today's episode we're looking at the thoughts and actions that you're practising over and over, maybe even without realising it.... and where these might be taking you.   If you practice playing guitar every day, you'll get into the habit of practising AND you'll probably get good at the guitar.  That's obvious.  But what about the thoughts you're practising?...

Do you tend to tell other people about goals you have for yourself? Who do you tell? How has that worked out for you? Today we're chatting about whether sharing your goals with others makes a difference in actually achieving the goal. It turns out, the real question might not be whether you share your goals, but who you share them with. I'm chatting from my own experience and looking at...

Do you love what you do? I'm really grateful that I can genuinely say I do. My business, Eve Studio, just passed the 10 year mileston, and after all these years, I am still loving it.  In today's episode, I'm sharing why. If you're interested in my upcoming group mentoring program , send me an email at hello@anniecarter.com.au   I'll add you to the waitlist so you're...

Feeling a bit flighty? Whether it's a physical restlessness, emotional flutters or racing thoughts, this 10 minute guided meditation will help you settle and ground yourself.   Ideally done seated, you could also do this meditation while standing or walking. Let's Connect! Please get in touch with any questions, suggestions for future episode topics, and to let me know how you're go...

You know those moments when you find yourself feeling frazzled? Overstimulated? Pulled in a million directions? I had one of those moments just the other day. It crept up on me. I was feeling fine and then, seemingly suddenly (though not actually suddenly) It all just felt like a bit much.  In today's episode I'm sharing about those moments and offering 5 things you can try when they hap...

Ok, so despite the fact that I've been sharing about living according to seasons and cycles for years now, it turns out I had a blind spot. It hadn't occurred to me to take a seasonal approach to this podcast. 🤦🏼‍♀️  It turns out, just a simple shift of mindset and bringing in a seasonal approach made a big difference, renewing my motivation and inspiring some fresh ideas. So as we lau...

Today I'm chatting with the wonderful Tarin Calmeyer.  Tarin and I met when we were training to become yoga teachers and, thanks to the way she said 'hello', became instant friends. Tarin was all set for a career in dance, but an injury meant her path changed direction. She has studied Osteopathy, consulted 5-star resorts on their wellness programs, and lived all over the world.  In...

I had an experience recently where things went wrong. Like kinda scarily wrong. In this episode I'll tell you the story of what happened, along with some tips to help you when things 'go wrong', whether in your business, work, relationships, or your health. References from this episode: Radio National interview with Stan Grant, by Scott Stephens.  Do yourself a favour. Grab a cuppa,...

This guided meditation will help you to be with emotions as they show up in your body. Rather than analysing the emotion, we meet it as physical sensation. Instead of judgment, we bring curiosity. Notice what a difference loving awareness makes. This meditation is a great one if you've had a situation or event that 'caused' a reaction in your body like a 'lump in your throat&ap...

Menstrual Leave is becoming increasingly common across the world, including in Australia. To me, that's a good thing. But it's not completely simple. In this episode I chat about some of the ideas and questions you've shared with me, as well as some of the concerns about menstrual leave. Is it a positive step for feminism, or could it even set us back?  Have a listen, and get in tou...

In today's episode I share about how and why I started offering menstrual leave in my business, Eve.  It came out of my personal experience of resting during my period, and seeing what a positive difference that made in my life. It was also about wanting to be part of the change that I believe we need in the world. I talk about the practicality of bringing in menstrual leave, and the financia...

What do you do when your period arrives super early, or late, or behaves differently than you're used to? It could be easy to get frustrated or feel like you're body's doing something wrong. But in this episode I share some tips for listening, learning and honouring your cycle, even when it seems to have gone rogue. References in this episode: Book:  The Period Repair Manual by Lara...

In a world where goals are meant to be 'big, hairy and audacious', and where 'if your dream doesn't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough' this might be a controversial question... is your goal too big? Now stay with me here. I had a conversation with a dear friend in Nepal, and I asked him what he believed was the key to happiness. His answer (which I share in th...

Today I'm sharing a little trap I've fallen into a number of times when starting new things.  It's a sneaky one that can undermine the success of getting something new - like a new routine or habit - off the ground.  And of course, I've got some ideas for how to avoid falling into this trap, and how to get out of it quickly if we happen to fall in. Follow me on instagram: @_ann...

As I prepared to kick off Yes You for 2023, I got thinking about starting things. More specifically, about the timing for starting things.  Are you inclined to jump in with no hesitation? Or do you brew an idea for a while before you take action? Whether it's a business, a personal project or a new routine, giving some attention to when we start it can be the difference between a big success...

As we approach the end of the year, things can get pretty busy, whether it's with work, family or the festivities of this time.  It's really easy to find ourselves running on empty.  The temptation may be to 'write ourselves off' until the new year - to stop trying to take care of ourselves amidst it all. But what does this mean for our relationship to ourselves? In this episod...

'Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.' I love this quote from Howard Thurman. And I love seeing people who are fully alive, fully themselves. I come away from being around those people feeling more alive myself. It's a beautiful ripple effect. So in today's episode I'm...
