Guys! This is the longest I've gone without recording a podcast!!! It's been way too long and so many happy and sad things have happened in my life in the past 10 months.This episode is just a big old yap of euro summer, navigating the loss of both of my grandparents :(((( and then being pregnant with my first baby!Times are changing and it's so important to me to document on these moments so that I can reflect. I can't say how frequently I'll be back but there are a few episodes here and there that I'd like to record and get into your ears. Happy listening :)))

A short but sweet episode about how I'm navigating my faith and spirituality journey! As a born and raised Catholic it's been interesting to witness the similarities and differences of catholicism and christianity. I moved completely away from the Church in my early 20s and instead found myself interested in nature, crystals, oracle cards, plant medicine, astrology and energy work. And I really loved being in this space! But now as a married woman, coming to the close of my 20's I have found myself turning to God again, and this has been encouraged even more by my husband who wasn't raised religious at all.It's been a nice time to explore it together and the most important thing for me is to not put any pressures on myself and to instead give myself grace. Enjoy! x

One of my fave topics of all time, and that's because it is one of the first topics I ever chatted about on the podcast back in 2020!! Listen to episode two of the poddy here. If you've been around for a while, you know I've unfortunately had some pretty bad burnout periods in my life and it's taken years to recover from them, and ultimately led to me quitting my job at the end of 2022 so I could focus on healing my nervous system. Sometimes, it takes a drastic change to get back on track - I wouldn't like to think what my life would be like if I didn't do that though.Enjoy this chat about what I've done over the years to unlearn hustle culture and how to not buy into it, especially as a girl.

I broke my hiatus of reading personal development books with one of the most popular books atm - The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins.I had heard about the concept prior to reading and I thought it was a cool idea, and then I had the opportunity to read it in our book club. There has been mixed reviews about this book but I really loved it so much! It has already brought SO MUCH PEACE into my life as someone that wants to fix things, make everything better, and often I try to control how other people react to certain things. In the book you'll learn about the basics of the let them theory, and examples of how Mel has applied it to her life and then she expands further on the second part of the concept (which is very important) and thats the LET ME, but I'll leave you to listen to the episode (or read the book) to find out more about that. Happy listening! xx

This one is for the guys and the gals!! One of my fave chats is women's hormones and our cycles because it wasn't something we were taught at school or by our parents.We live in a man's world on their 24 hour cycles which is not how a women's body works at all, instead we have a 28-32 day cycle that resets every time we get our periods.There are 4 phases within this cycle where we will feel tired, confident, happy, low energy etc depending on which one we're in.Learning to cycle sync in combination with coming off birth control was th best thing I ever did for my health - I hope you learn a thing or two from this ep!! x

I wasn't a runner until I became a runner! I need to preface this, because anyone can be a runner if they want to be!Used to loathe it, now I love it!I don't touch on too much in the episode of what running means to me - but it really has been my lifeline. The state of flow and calm I get to whilst running is so unmatched. I love pushing my body to new limits and seeing what I can achieve.Running is 100% a mental game and I'd like to say that I'm doing a pretty good job at playing it. I hope you enjoy this episode and it inspires at least one person to go for a run!!

It's so funny how a silly little book about dragons, fairies and magic can heal your inner child!I remember reading fiction books as a child but I was never a hardcore bookworm, and then at high school and uni I dropped the habit all together because I was too busy reading textbooks.In the last few years, I've found myself lost in fantasy worlds - what kickstarted it for me was the Colleen Hoover book 'It ends with us' and then I finally bit the bullet and read 'A court of thorns and roses' and now I'm a die hard fantasy book reader and I make everyone I know read the books!There is a huge misconception that these books are smutty and that's all they are good for, but they make me feel like a girl again - they help me connect to my feminine, get lost in the world of magic, and connect with the characters (who are totally my friends) lol.I hope you enjoy the ep and if you're a book girlly (or guy) too let me know what you're reading currently!!

Have you ever thought of buying a business? 75M baby boomers will retire by 2030. This is the generation that owns about 2/3 of all businesses.And many of those business owners won't have a succession plan, and so if they don't sell, the business shuts down.I've had my eye on businesses that are for sale in my local area for a while now and I'd love to make it as part of our wider wealth strategy.I always used to turn my nose up at the idea of buying a business, as I wanted to build something from the ground up with my own blood, sweat and tears.But this is the work hard mentality, and why can't I just work smart? Established businesses have all the systems set up, the brand reputation, the client base and the good will - they've got it all ready to go.All you need to do is come in, modernise and automate and you've got a roaring successful business. In this episode I chat about the idea of this, and what businesses I've been looking at purchasing over the past year.

It's fair to say that public speaking is hated by most of the population - you're on display, all eyes on you, your hearts racing, and palms are sweaty.Sounds like a shit time to me.Well those are all normal reactions to pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and getting on stage.My public speaking journey starts when I was just 10 years old as Cinderella at my school production, next was when I was 16 years old and I became house leader at my high school , and then it was in my third year of uni when I won top of the class and $2.5k for my internship presentation.No one is born with the ability to public speak, it's something you craft over time, and if you're an extroverted person, you might get a little kick out of the thrill, and the pre-stage nerves are worth the feeling of euphoria afterwards.This is why I public speak.Because I am so damn proud of myself every time I do it. I'm not the biggest fan of the task itself, but I love the confidence it instills in me and that's what we're chatting about today!I can attribute most of my self confidence to the opportunities I have had to public speak and now I'm taking that to the next level this year with Toastmasters, tune in for a goodie.

Our big fish this year is the fact we are going to Europe!! I'm sorry what????? Literally won't believe it until I get there! Living in little old New Zealand means going over to Europe is a once in a lifetime trip, I know we can go back later in life but the holiday will look very different (with kids, or older and luxury) we're never gonna do boujee on a budget again! In this episode I run you through our budget, all the places we're going and how we're navigating this.And when I say "we" I mean me hahaha. I am a type A girly and I do love this shizz but phew its a lot of work but will be so worth it! If you don't want us to do another episode on how we saved / budgeted for this, let me know!
