Learning to Love Yourself Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

With Valentine’s Day coming up this week we thought it would be special to discuss the most important relationship we have throughout our life; the relationship with ourselves. The term; ‘loving yourself' is something we see on social media all the time (which we love), but it is a lot easier said than done. In today's episode we are joined by Kat John, an Inspirational Coach who has been through so much in life. Kat shares her own personal journey with self love, and how she was able to turn around from a darker mindset and find her own joy. We then touch on our own journeys, what has helped us shift our mindset in the past and share a little exercise you can do at home. Lastly, we also reached out to Jessie Quirk, one of our KIC girls from the community to speak to her own self love journey.

Getting Back Into Routine Feb 04, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to season 2 of the KIC POD! In today's episode we chat all about routine! One of the most common questions we get is 'how do you get back on track and back into routine?' We thought we would kick off the year with a discussion on how we both approach our routine and get back into it after a break and invited our PT from our KIC program, Danny Kennedy on for his expert tips and tricks!

On another note, we along with the rest of Australia, have been feeling incredibly helpless during the devestating bushfires. We wanted to support Wildlife Victoria for all of their incredible efforts in saving native wildlife.

Intuitive Eating Nov 26, 2019

The ‘Anti-diet’, intuitive eating is a styling of eating you may have heard over the past few months, so we thought we would bring in our Keep It Cleaner Dietitian and Nutritionist, Marika Day to discuss what exactly this style of eating is. Marika describes intuitive eating as learning to trust and listen to your body and eat in response to what your body is telling you. We talk about the way in which we can integrate this approach to eating into our day to day lives, how to become aware of the reasons in which you might be eating by checking in with yourself plus answer questions from the community.

Show notes

Alex Hayes is a competitive surfer boy turned content creator who now travels the world and documents his life for his job. At only 7, Alex started doing surf life saving which then inspired him to take up surfing which quickly became his passion. Suffering from an injury which forced him to step back from surfing at age 17 , Alex speaks about how his injury in turn, pushed him to become the successful content creator he is today. Fresh out of school, he found himself jet setting across the world to kickstart his career.

At only 21 years young, Alex chats about the stigma around mental health, especially when it comes to Males. Alex opens about about his own struggles with depression and post traumatic stress and how the practice of meditation really helped him focus on being present in the moment and aids him in his day to day life.

From a young surfer boy with a passion to travel, Alex has learnt to react to opportunities in front of him and to push himself as far as he can both physically and mentally as he continues to explore his twenties.
