So much better!We breathe deeper, we are calmer!When we look in the mirror we actually LOVE what we see... this is a complete 180 from how we used to feel. We used to look in the mirror and the first thing we’d both think or even say is “I’m so fat.” It was never about what we actually looked like

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? You've probably been asked these questions in an interview or some kind of questionnaire.You might define them and then label the strengths as 'good' and the weaknesses as 'bad'.But what if your strengths were actually some of your biggest weaknesses? And is your weakness your greatest strength?This is what we chat about on the podcast this week. It will flip everything on its head and potentially give you a whole new perspective.Stuff we talked about…we go through our personal strengths and look for the darkness.Carla's impatience helps our business, she helps us to create urgency, but at times it can make the process extra stressful.Emma has the strength to be able to see the big picture.

Tall poppy syndrome describes aspects of a culture where people who are excelling are resented, attacked, put down or criticised because they have been classified as 'superior' to their peers. It sucks and it's fairly common, especially in Australia. We've all probably done it... and we've all probably felt the impact at one stage or another.Either way, it's time to stop criticising others when they are excelling and start showing support and encouragement. Coz why the hell not?!During this episode, we discuss this topic and take you through super easy action steps to be a nicer, kinder human.Remember, we never come from a place of perfection... we are all human, we stuff up, we make mistakes. But it's all about how fast we come back to our higher, truthful self and how much awareness we have about our behaviour.Stuff we talked about…what is tall poppy syndrome?why would we criticise others?

We've noticed this conversation that keeps on popping up about social media being an extreme negative aspect of life. And we want to 100% disagree and in turn say that it's each of our own personal responsibility to use it in a conscious way. To curate our feeds and who we follow. To utilise the platform for GOOD!And of course, social media can be evil! But this doesn't mean it's ALL evil.Yes, you can lose connection to yourself and others around you BECAUSE of social media but it can also be used for good! It can connect you more! It can be a way to use your creativity (similar to authors when they write books, or artists when they paint.)So we can not just label social media as BAD. It's a personal choice, add conscious energy, bring awareness and ask yourself is it good or bad? And how can I change it if I need to?Stuff we talked about…consciously choose how you are using and consuming social media.when you discuss social media and the way people use it (actually when you talk about ANYTHING someone else d
