Who would you be like to sit on a park bench with if you could choose anyone dead or alive? Jo went with the famous - Anthony Hopkins, Ghandi, Melissa McCarthy for various reasons.  Vicki chose her mum who died a number of years ago. She would love to talk to her about Op shopping, the garden, what the kids are doing and just hang out with her. Was Ghandi crazy or brilliant? Are the Two Natural Ladies a bit crazy, and are they brilliant as well? Talking of genius – Abraham Hicks has made a difference to Two natural Ladies. A lot of wisdom. An emotional guidance scale. We often try to take a leap from depression to happiness. We need to start with small steps. Find where we are on the scale and find thoughts to lift us up 22 emotions. At the bottom is Fear, Despair, grief, powerlessness if you’re there the only way is up. Anger is a step up from despair. A great way to put things into perspective. Reaching out and find a better feeling thought. And remember where ever you are now just give it time and it will shift. We never have it all handled.

Feeling joy, feeling grateful and accepting what is Two Natural Ladies start this podcast discussing the benefits of getting out of a funk by going for a walk, finding a better feeling thought. And when you are feeling good enjoy the joy - the ‘good place’. ‘This too shall pass’ can be a great message to keep in the forefront when you are having a bad day. Vicki shares more wisdom? from her book ‘Older but not Wiser’ “I’m going to retire and live of my savings. Not sure what I’ll do on the second day.” Gratitude and turning life around.  Two Natural Ladies share a great quote and a great story. Little gifts of kindness can make such a difference. AND Abraham has a wealth of information around acceptance and allowing. Jo & Vicki move on from age to youth. Would it be better if youth came a bit later? The passion of youth is so important and our experience as we age gives us the ability to see things in a more holistic light. Two Natural Ladies finish with the pivotal age of seven age: The Steiner Philosophy goes in cycles of 7 years. The series “7 Up” explores Aristotles quote: “Give me a child to the age of 7 and I’ll give you the man” following a group of children every seven years. Jo & Vicki chat about what is achieved in this series and also the impact on some of the participants. A quick mention of Zack Efron talking about Blue Zones gives this wonderful upbeat podcast an “attractive” ending.   By the way, we remembered the name of the Documentary is called “Down to Earth”

A fun little snippet from the Two Natural Ladies What particular things about our mums (or dads) drive us crazy? Jo shares a few of hers before Vicki reads out something from the book “Older but not wiser”  How crazy do we get when we are told “you’re getting just like your mother!” And finding ways to communicate some of our frustrations without being grumpy. “If I’d known I was going to live this long I'd have taken better care of myself!” “At my age I can say exactly what I like” Listen to this delightful little snippet for more. ************ For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/ Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/ Find out more about what we do join our group at http://bit.ly/2nlgroup Please subscribe to the Video podcast on the Two Natural Ladies YouTube Channel at http://bit.ly/tnlyoutube Video production sponsored by Nurture Queen Videos https://www.nurturequeenvideos.com  

A quick discussion on energy efficiency – how to save our energy. The hot water on the back with the doona and what a difference this makes. Using a rug, an Oodie a hot water bottle. Then Jo & Vicki go back to a discussion about electricity – sharing facts from Natalie Issacs book. “Every woman’s guide to the planet” The average household has 60-70 gadgets plus light bulbs. How many can we turn off when not in use and how many can we do without. Ditch the dryer – 12% of use in a household. Half a ton of carbon dioxide per year! AND if one million of us made our shower 4 mins or less it would be the same as planting 900,000 trees. What’s the best way to turn off our gadgets! if one million women took on #Letsdoit321, picking up three bits of rubbish, what a difference that would make! ************ For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/ Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/ Find out more about what we do join our group at http://bit.ly/2nlgroup Please subscribe to the Video podcast on the Two Natural Ladies YouTube Channel at http://bit.ly/tnlyoutube Video production sponsored by Nurture Queen Videos https://www.nurturequeenvideos.com

‘They had fear in their eyes’: how to handle motherhood rage - The Age newspaper article. https://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life-and-relationships/they-had-fear-in-their-eyes-how-to-handle-motherhood-rage-20210602-p57xg3.html Before getting onto the more serious topic of motherhood rage, Jo has a present for Vicki – a photo album of themselves and the people they have interviewed. Our photo’s stay on our phone and never get seen. Two Natural Ladies then discuss this line -‘they had fear in their eyes’ around the rage parents can have with their children’ Something Vicki regrets – like most mums, particularly in our culture. “It was either me or them” in those moments when we get caught up in whatever has happened. Afterwards we regret, apologise and ‘hug it out’. But sometimes we have been at the effect of such rage and not had the apology. The isolation that Mum’s feel. And we don’t have the same ‘village support’. Two Natural Ladies share what worked when their kids were young and what didn’t. Running a business from home with four kids. We are left on our own too. Jo questions “Parental burnout’ – do people need to work as hard as they do? For some people they could work less? Quantity does not cancel out quality. This is not about being against mums working but for some, who could be OK without working crazy hours and be with their children more. We are “Victims of our own culture’. How can women working full time do it? Not a judgement an admiration. And we need to be something other than a mother sometimes. “I don’t want to lose me” It’s like a see-saw. We can only have a balance for a short time. When our children are little there is so much going on, finances, being the best mum, creating a legacy or our children’s future. This is a great podcast for all Mums whether you are a ‘stay at home mum’ work part-time or full time. ************ For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/ Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/ Find out more about what we do join our group at http://bit.ly/2nlgroup Please subscribe to the Video podcast on the Two Natural Ladies YouTube Channel at http://bit.ly/tnlyoutube Video production sponsored by Nurture Queen Videos https://www.nurturequeenvideos.com

We are fluid just like the ocean. But is a door always a door?  Two Natural ladies discuss the need for some certainties – nature for one!   While Jo was packing boxes, Vicki was chilling out on the top of Mt Baw Baw. Editing shows. Walks up to the summit.  Feeling abundant and thankful. Connection and Community.  In downtown Parkdale, Jo was trying to get her sun rays and Vitamin D (a bit like a solar panel) and then she shares she is perplexed! Having a plan and getting things done and then things happen.   Kids pop in, boxes to be sorted. Things shift and change as people walk in and out of our lives.  The enquiry: How to enjoy the moment and not get caught up in the ‘Must do’ Find something to be Thankful for: – how lucky are we to have the flexibility to be able to hang out with our kids! ************** For more information about the Two Natural Ladies visit https://www.twonaturalladies.com.au/ Or follow the Two Natural Ladies on Facebook or Instagram @twonaturalladies https://www.facebook.com/twonaturalladies https://www.instagram.com/twonaturalladies/ Find out more about what we do join our group at http://bit.ly/2nlgroup Please subscribe to the Video podcast on the Two Natural Ladies YouTube Channel at http://bit.ly/tnlyoutube Video production sponsored by Nurture Queen Videos https://www.nurturequeenvideos.com
