play

05/29/23 • 79 min

Welcome to the first episode of 'Explant Chats', a side series where I invite women to bravely share their own unique breast implant illness (BII) + explant journey with you. Hearing women share their stories is so powerful, and if it wasn't for the women before me who bravely shared their journey, I wouldn't be where I am today. From these 'Explant Chats' episodes I hope to continue to raise awareness of BII and to even help you on your own BII journey, no matter where you're at 💕
Meet Jade Drew, a loving mum, a passionate life + fitness coach for women, an entrepreneur and a dear friend of mine - whom trusted me to guide her on her BII journey. Jade openly shares her story and we dive deep into life pre and post explant and the emotional waves that the BII journey can bring. She even shares her deep fears she had and all the questions she asked herself along the way. From denial, self-love and self-worth, we talk about it all!
In this episode we cover...

  • What were your reasons for getting implants?
  • What you wish someone said to you before getting implants?
  • What were the initial symptoms when you started to feel unwell?
  • How did you feel when you first learned about breast implant illness? What emotions and thoughts showed up?
  • Let's talk about DENIAL!?
  • The reality of day to day living with breast implant illness
  • The process of unpacking 'self-worth', breaking through limiting beliefs and 'authenticity'
  • How implants can become part of your 'identity'
  • Knowing when it's the 'right' time for surgery
  • What did you do to prepare for explant surgery?
  • How did you communicate your BII + explant journey to your kids?
  • Recovery and life after explant
  • and so much more!

Jade, I celebrate you and thank you for sharing so vulnerably - to help bring awareness to BII ✨

Today I welcome my second guest to the podcast - a very dear and inspirational friend of mine - Jennifer Borg. Jen is a lifestyle photographer and mentor for young creatives - and a passionate manifesting generator.
Jen shares her brave story about trusting her intuition to guide her decision to have breast surgery following a strong family history of breast cancer. Jen shares deeply her journey to making the decision to have surgery and the practices she integrated to help her move through the experience. Jen also shares how trusting her intuition throughout her life has led her to create a life of abundance and a life that allows her the opportunity to share her wisdom and mentor teenage girls to 'listen tot he whispers' and step into their vision
In this episode we dive into...

  • what is your 'intuition' and how to tune into it (tap into the 'whispers')
  • how to trust your intuition and yourself to make brave decisions
  • the power of having a 'positive' & 'growth' mindset
  • advocating for yourself in healthcare
  • the power of mantras and meditation on your mindset and your healing
  • 'vision casting' - getting clarity on your vision and the women you desire to be
  • how to tap into your body wisdom - our body is always community to us
  • how to shift and take a step when you feel 'stuck'
  • how to 'embrace the challenge'
  • investing in yourself and your proximity
  • and so much more!!

Jen's Mantra - "today is a beautiful day of opportunity - I am exactly where I need to be. I open myself to the universe and trust the unfolding of my life"

To get to know more about Jen, follow her instagram @jenniferborg.inc
I want to say a huge thankyou to Jen for bravely sharing her own story and her Aunty Sandra's journey so vulnerably with myself and all of you listening. To Sandra, I send you so much love.

play

06/04/22 • 42 min

In this episode I dive deep into self-trust, honestly I believe self-trust is one of the most important elements of your relationship with self. To me self-trust is that knowing-ness that no matter what life throws at you, you can handle it...✨
In this episode you will learn,

  • My definition of self-trust
  • Simple practices to help you cultivate self-trust
  • Why it's the little things we do each day that have the biggest impact
  • How 'freedom' is linked to taking radical ownership
  • Why you should be mindful of the times you haven't listened to your gut instinct

AHHH this episode has been so long in the making and I am so excited to finally welcome Michelle Shapirord to the podcast - I know you'll love her too. Michelle and I connected on Instagram about 2 years ago, in our DM's to eachother we dive deep into the nuances of nutrition and finding the middle ground between 'diet culture' and 'body positivity'. We just knew we had to bring this conversation to you ✨
Michelle is an integrative functional registered dietitian from New York City. Michelle started her professional journey to be a dietitian because of her own personal story through weight loss and diet culture. Michelle is an incredible and passionate professional who cultivates a safe space with her clients and supports them to lovingly find their inner voice and authentic health. On her Instagram she cuts through the diet culture BS and explains the nuances that live within the nutrition space!
In this episode we unpack...

  • the polarity of social media 'diet culture' vs 'intuitive eating'
  • how you can lovingly lose weight - how do we land in the 'middle ground'?
  • I left 'diet culture'...now what?
  • why 'healing your relationship with food' is a STEP in the journey, it's not the whole journey when it comes to finding your authentic health
  • how to find your 'inner voice' and why reflection is key!
  • how to give yourself permission to find what works for you without the 'all or nothing' mentality
  • the cycle of nutrition trends and 'cults' and why the best 'diet' for you is unlikely to be 'trendy'
  • and so much more!

As always, I am so grateful for you listening to the wisdom I am here to share ✨
If you wish to connect with Michelle you can reach out on Instagram via @michelleshapirord and @quietthedietpod

Dr Kirsty Seward - (#31) Quality questions to unpack 2022
play

12/21/22 • 9 min

If you've been listening to this podcast, it's likely you already know I'm a big advocate of reflection journaling, because after all, we don't learn from experiences, we learn from reflecting on the experiences. So as we reach the final days of 2022 I thought I'd share with you the quality questions I'm asking myself to unpack 2022 ✨
I encourage you to block out some 'me' time before the end of the year to sit down and work through these prompts.

As always, I am so grateful for you listening to the wisdom I am here to share ✨

Dr Kirsty Seward - (#36) Becoming your own bestfriend with Katie Ford
play

06/26/23 • 64 min

Katie Ford is a mindset and motivation coach for women, author of two books, podcaster, solo mum to 2 boys - and an all round incredible human. She is the EMBODIMENT of becoming your own bestfriend! Through this conversation Katie shares her journey to tap dancing on stage to raise money for cancer and how she nolonger waits for the 'right' time to do the next thing.
My favourite quote from this conversation with Katie is...
"I constantly want to surprise myself, and that means that I'm constantly going to put myself in uncomfortable situations, and I think that there's such a beautiful gift to give ourselves when we let ourselves look awkward. You've got to let yourself look goofy, you've got to let yourself BEGIN"
In this episode we cover...

  • why trying to control how other people 'see' us is actually holding us back?
  • moving from a place of 'seeking validation' vs 'authenticity'
  • knowing when to let go of your current reality and embrace change (aka being 'uncomfortable')
  • why change, whether on a 'small' or 'big' level, requires the same level of self-belief!
  • how you can use the evidence from your current reality to discover your 'WHY' and cultivate the courage to embrace change
  • if we can't make the small decisions, it's hard to make the big decisions
  • we get to CHOOSE what fear and discomfort mean to us
  • learning to tune into your intuition and your 'intuitive pull'
  • and so much more!

Josh and I connected via Instagram over 12 months ago and it’s surreal that this episode is finally happening! Josh Hillis is an eating skills coach who is helping people transform their relationship with food. He has accumulated 20 years of coaching experience and authored not one, but two books!
In this episode we cover...
-Josh's journey from fitness and meal plans to studying psychology to better support his clients
-Why meal plans only work for a small portion of the population
-The way emotional eating shows up in day to day life (eg. stress eating, not being able to stop snacking at work)
-Why food becomes the go-to way to manage stress
-The 4 levels of motivation that humans have access to in order to drive change in eating behaviours
-How our 'values' can help guide our eating behaviours to become the person we desire to be
-Why a 'reward' and 'punishment' approach to changing your eating habits leaves you feeling exhausted
-The peace that comes when you allow yourself to make mistakes and learn - the outcome when you say goodbye to the 'all or nothing' and 'pass/fail' mentality when it comes to food
-The power of a PAUSE - putting a gap between 'wanting' and 'choosing'
-How to practice 'zooming in' and 'zooming out' when navigating uncomfortable emotions
...and so much more!
