447: {Part 2} How To Consciously Uncouple With Friends, Setting Friendship Boundaries, How To Move Past Conflict, Having Courageous Conversations & More | Sally Jane Douglas & Tamsyn Neill Apr 05, 2022

Show notes

We’re back for Part Two of our conversation on cultivating epic friendships!

Continuing on from last week’s episode, I’m joined by my real life soul sisters, Sally Douglas and Tamsyn Neill.

In Part Two of this intimate, insightful conversation, we’re delving into some of the more tricky and uncomfortable aspects of friendships that are often not talked about, and that can sometimes trip us up, impact our connections, and even cause us pain.

Tune in to hear how we make time for our friends even when life gets full, why you’ll never catch us ‘ghosting’ anyone, how to close out a friendship loop when your relationship has run its course, the easiest way to stay in touch with old friends, the red flags that may signal you’re in an unhealthy friendship, how to accept that a lifelong friendship is over, how to break up with a friend in a way that honours and respects your shared history, the surprising skill that’s CRUCIAL for meaningful relationships, and what to do when a friend always says they want to catch up… but never do.

Just like last episode, this conversation is the next best thing to being on a real life juice-date with the three of us. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, it’s filled with so much love… I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it for you.

446: {Part 1} How To Call In More Friends, How To Be A Better Friend | Sally Jane Douglas & Tamsyn Neill Mar 29, 2022

Show notes

How do you make new friends as an adult?

How do you create rewarding, fulfilling, aligned friendships — either with friends you already have, or with new like-minded people?

What’s the best way to navigate the complexities of friendship — including disagreements, feeling left out, misalignment of values, and being at different life stages?

To answer these questions, I’m doing something I’ve never done before. I’m bringing two of my real life soul sisters onto the show to share the real life strategies we use to nourish, nurture, maintain and grow our friendship. (What better way to share my own approach to friendships than to share our actual real life friendship with you?!)

Sally Jane Douglas and Tamsyn Neill are the two dear soulies joining me for this juicy, intimate, and deeply personal two-part conversation — which also packs a hefty punch of practical tips and inspiration.

Tune in to Part One to hear the incredible story of how we met, how we knew we’d be a great fit for each other, how we navigate any differences or difficulties that may arise in our relationship, what we do when someone feels left out, how CCC (Crystal Clear Communication) is the secret weapon that allows our friendship to thrive, how marriage and babies have impacted our connection (and how we handle being at different life stages from each other), the power of asking the right questions, mastering the art of showing up for your friends, and so much more.

How do we raise kids who are curious, creative and independent? How can we make our experience of parenthood more joyful, ease-filled and mindful? And is there a way to respect the rhythms and individuality of each child, so that they can thrive as their truest, fullest selves?

443: Healing From Trauma, Turning Pain Into Power, How To Stop Taking Things So Personally | Yemi Penn Mar 09, 2022

Show notes

What happens to us when we experience trauma? What impact does trauma have on our bodies, brains, hearts, relationships and lives? And what does it take to truly heal physical and emotional trauma — especially when we’ve been carrying our wounds for a long time, maybe even generations?

To help answer these questions and more, I’m joined on the show by Yemi Penn — author, documentarian, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and all-round powerhouse woman.

Yemi’s work around trauma stems from her own deeply personal experience of childhood abuse. Determined to free herself from the wounds she was carrying, she began searching for ways to empower her own healing journey and overcome the other forms of trauma she recognised in herself — including generational trauma that she inherited.

In this fascinating, inspiring, and incredibly important conversation, you’ll hear how Yemi turned her pain into power, how she processed and integrated her trauma so she could set herself free, and how her journey towards healing became a catalyst for transformation and growth. You’ll also discover the simple but powerful technique she swears by for releasing stored trauma, how hidden trauma can be impacting your relationship without you even realising, how trauma can hold us back from achieving our full potential, and how you too can set yourself free.

** Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of child abuse. Follow your intuition if you know this conversation is not for you right now.

442: How We Potty Trained Our Baby, Elimination Communication, Why Babies Are Smarter Than You Think, & Reducing Your Carbon Footprint | Andrea Olsen Mar 01, 2022

Show notes

Today’s episode is a little different. You’re going to hear me being interviewed by Andrea Olson for her show, ‘The Go Diaper Free Podcast’. Our conversation was so awesome and stacked with practical tips — and I’ve had SO many questions about our personal experience with Elimination Communication (EC) — that I knew I had to share it with you!

Tune in to hear how Nick and I introduced our little girl to EC at 3 months, what our ‘potty routine’ looks like, the huge benefits we experienced right from the start (including some epic ones that took us by surprise), the scary environmental impact of disposable diapers, what the world's major diaper brands don't want you to know about childhood development, how to cultivate an enriching learning environment for your kids, and why EC is a surprising saviour for any mamas with sore backs and shoulders!

This episode follows on from when Andrea first came on the show (Episode 401), so if you love this conversation — and I know you will! — then you should definitely go back and listen to that one too. Enjoy!

Show notes

Have you been searching for answers, trying out every modality under the sun, doing all the “right” things for your health and happiness… and yet nothing seems to work?

Today’s guest knows that feeling well. Twenty years ago, Dain Heer was on the verge of ending his own life. He felt like he’d tried EVERYTHING to lift his headspace and find happiness, but nothing was working and nothing was changing. At that moment, when he was desperate and ready to give up, he discovered a set of transformative tools and energy practices that changed the course of his life forever. And in this powerful and inspiring conversation, he’s revealing how these simple, actionable tools and techniques can create lasting change in YOUR life too.

Press play to hear strategies for creating the wildly fulfilling life of your dreams, how to tap into the immense wisdom that lives inside your body, how fear-based thinking is keeping you trapped (and how to overcome it), how to eat intuitively, and why being the fullest, truest version of yourself is the tipping point that can change *everything*.

(Please note: this conversation includes discussion of self-harm and suicide.)
