Season One Finale!As we wrap up Season One of R&M, our host Daisy Clementine discusses in a solo episode the meditation she desperately needs as we head into Australian summer - the summer body meditation and all things body image and self esteem.Daisy talks about how seeing bad photographs of yourself can impact your self-image and how having cute petite friends can make you feel like a giant and shift the reality of what you actually look like. Body image is a never ending rollercoaster and whilst there are positive, inclusive shifts being made within the media and fashion industries - there is a long way to go until we don't feel like there is one 'perfect' body to be 'achieved'.We'll be back in early 2022 with Season 2 for more relatable conversations and niche meditations!**Please note if you are affected by an ED or triggered by this topic, please skip this episode and seek professional support.---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could  SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU THINK NEEDS THIS! It will take max like 2 minutes and makes a huge difference.

Today’s episode is with prolific journalist who often uses her internet as a diary - Melissa Mason and is all about relationship anxiety  (kind of the extension and more ‘grown up’ way to talk about the ick). It’s something we have both been riddled with for years - even though i didn’t know it until very recently. Have you ever seen a couple on instagram and been like wow that’s goals why aren’t we like that? Or find yourself in a panic wondering if you’re with the person you’ll actually end up with?Thought of moving in together making you freak the F out?Ever seen the film the runaway bride and been like - yeah, i get it?Then this episode is for you.—Please note that if you’re in an abusive relationship, this isn’t one for you and we’re included some links in the show notes for some places you can go for support:White Ribbonhttps://www.whiteribbon.org.au/Find-Help/Help-Lineshttps://www.1800respect.org.au/daisy1800RESPECT1800 737 732--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Melissa Mason on IG - @melissamasonFollow Laura Tilley on IG - @thehalfbetweenIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could  SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU THINK NEEDS THIS! It will take max like 2 minutes and makes a huge difference.

This weeks episode is what we've all needed at some time in our times - a spirit guide for going to Ikea. We spoke to Miranda Lorikeet after she'd just moved house and discussed her Ikea game plans, how impulsively putting together furniture and we settle the question about what the best snack is for your little reward at the end.This is literally the most niche meditation we've ever made - and it's not even #spon. Ikea, if you want to send us some cinnamon scrolls, we'll be waiting.--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Miranda Lorikeet on IG - @mirandalorikeetFollow Rachel Crethar on IG - @rachelcretharIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

Wondering if recycling is really even worth it?Feeling powerless as we watch billionaires take off into space and we're trying to keep our carbon footprint down with a fkin keep cup?Feel those 'um, is the world ending?' vibes on the regs?This weeks conversation is with Tanzy Owen, a sustainability consultant with years of experience making film and TV sets more sustainable who has just launched her own buisiness - The Good Ways. Tanzy’s mission is to make sustainble business just ‘business’. We spoke all about climate anxiety which, after the earthquake today in Melbourne, I feel like what’s happening with the Earth is at the forefront of our minds right now. This conversation is for everyone - from full on eco warriors to people maybe more like myself who are still very much learning and working towards a more eco conscious lifestyle.RESOURCES:The Goodways - Tanzy's sustainability consultancy business Good On You - Ethical brand ratings - search before your next purchase decisionMarket Forces - Information on where you're keeping your money and how you can make this more ethicalFuture Super - Ethical Super Fund This Wild and Precious Life by Sarah Wilson - will make you quit single use cups 4evaSimply Cups - Found at every 7/11, you can recycle your coffee cups here (in case Sarah's book didn't make you quit 4eva - we all make mistakes!)Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - Tanzy's Earth-humbling fave--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Tanzy Owen on IG - @tanzyowenFollow The Goodways on IG - @thegoodwaysFollow Kaylene Langford (this week's meditation lead) on IG - @startupcreativeIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

This weeks episode is with Michelle Banares - my absolute style icon, the coolest Reel maker and DEFINITELY not a regular mum. Mish has 2 crazy haired 2 year old called Zev and this week we spoke all about her anxieties as a new mum - particularly when it came to heading out into the world and tackling public transport with a pram and unpredictable tantrums.

This episode is a special one - it’s extremely light and there’s a lot of laughter because honestly at the moment, we feel like we need some lols to break up the heaviness of the news and the amount of hectic stuff happening in the world right now.  This ep is with Relate & Meditate’s number one fan - Daisy's mum and is all about a very first world problem - the stress of throwing a party. Are people going to show up?Have I got enough food?What if people hate the seating arrangements?Is the playlist perfect?Theres a lot to be thinking about!---Our host Daisy is also taking part in a free online event tomorrow 9th September hosted by Rachel Crethar who you may recognise as one of our meditation leads - its for R U OK day and will be a safe space to come, have a chat and connect with us and each other in an effort to provide some connection during these weird lockdown times in Australia.

Her designs are seriously amazing - she’s given me the funnest nails of my life on multiple occasions now and seriously, it is wild how much having cute nails can change your mood.We spoke about all things work and boundaries.

In this weeks episode, I spoke to Evie from  Mum Pack Travel - a travel blogger and solo parent that has had her incredible lifestyle she lives on the road brought to a stand still by Covid.  Evie has travelled all over the world with her daughter for the past few years, writing a book, From Backyard to Backpack, about it along the way.  A quick google and you'll find pages and pages about all the adventures she's been on and all the articles she's written about how she did it along the way.Like so many people, Evie has been struggling with the realities of boarder closures and dealing with the abrupt change to her usual way of life. We speak about everything from how she designed her own unique way of doing life with her daughter Emmie to the mental struggles she’s been facing due to the current limitations on our freedom. Whilst we both whole heartedly agree that Australia is beautiful and we are in such a fortunate position, this doesn’t take away from some of those down days where we long to jump on a plane and have a change of scene. --Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Evie Farrell on IG - @mumpacktravelIf you love this episode, we would so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

We are back from our mid season break and this weeks episode is all about self confidence with photographer and visual artist Martina Martian.  Is confidence something you're born with or something learned?

If all these questions are hitting home for you - this is your episode.Martina is definitely one of the most fabulous people I know -and one of the most confident - but as it turns out even the most confident people feel a little rattled every now and then. We spoke about how confidence affects basically every area of our lives - from work to friendships - and the key things that have helped us both grow our confidenceWe hope you enjoy the episode.
