  • I'm all about keeping it real and giving you a peek behind the scenes of my life and business, not just the polished highlights. In today's fast-paced and individualistic society, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and disconnected. I often found myself striving for success and happiness on my own, without realising the power of community and collective development.


    So, guess what? I recently had this heart-to-heart chat with my friend Georgia Refalo on her show. It was pretty raw and honest, and I couldn't help but feel like you needed to hear it too.


    We talked about the power of community, why asking for help is a game-changer, and took a jab at the whole self-made success idea. Turns out, supporting each other is where the real value is at.


    Big shoutout to Georgia for letting me share our convo with you here too!

  • When you think about holistic health what comes to mind? Maybe you picture a mental to-do list with 'drink more water,' 'get enough sleep,' 'try to meditate,' and 'eat those leafy greens' all competing for your attention. Maybe your mind goes to breathwork on the beach followed by an ice bath to invigorate your body (If you didn’t take an ice bath selfie, did it really happen?)
    But in all seriousness, for many of us, it's the ever evolving journey to find balance in our busy lives and make healthier choices – even if the snooze button occasionally wins. In the hustle and bustle of our fast-paced world, it's easy to forget how closely linked our mind, body, and spirit are. Holistic health brings it all together, offering us a roadmap to complete wellbeing.
    In this episode we explore what holistic health is all about, its core principles, and how you can incorporate holistic health into your daily life to enhance your overall quality of life.
