Spectacular Soul Saturday: Katie Hoodless

Katie is a friend of mine who made gradual, yet radical changes to her diet and lifestyle and reaped countless benefits for doing so.

Experiencing the changes herself has driven her to educate her community on how to live happier, healthier and more vibrantly – one baby step at a time.

Meet Katie …

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Megan Osbourne

You know when you hardly know someone, yet get the vibe that they are a ‘good egg’? That’s Megan. We met at the 2015 Wellness Summit and even though we only spoke a few brief times, I was overwhelmed by Megan’s genuine warmth and humble glow.

While I’ve been away

It’s been a busy, busy August! Semseter 2 has started at College (and lecture content is a wee bit complicated thus far), I volunteered at The Wellness Summit and (most importantly) I travelled up to the Sunny Coast for my Twenty8 Health and Lifestyle Educator Program Graduation!!!!!!!!! That’s too many exclamation marks, isn’t it?

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Kimi Hill

This week I’d like to share the insights of blogger Kimi Hill, author of www.sunandmoon.me. I don’t know Kimi personally, but she approached me after hearing my interview on Up for a Chat and asked me to do an interview for her website.

I decided to return the interview favour and here we are. Kimi is a driven young lady with a beautifully sensitive and creative streak.

Health isn’t a “trend”

Does it bother anyone else out there that health, wellness, well-being, nutrition, mindfulness, Paleo, vegan, GAPS, gluten-free, sugar-free, (and all the other common buzz words etc.) have become a trend? Or is it just me?

Don’t get me wrong. The real food movement is exciting! People getting excited about fruits and veggies is encouraging! The public is starting to explore and ask questions. I am thrilled about this! In fact, health being ‘trendy’ has many, many advantages.

Spectacular Soul Saturday: Simone Butchard

Meet my honorary ‘big sis’ Simo! A ray of  sunshine who lives according to my favourite proverb;

“Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared” – Attributed to the Buddha (c.563 BC – c.483 BC)

After finishing reading her candid and optimistic answers you’ll likely feel driven to check out her website which is bursting full of life – the biophilia practically jumps through your screen!

I’m near certain you’ll love her as much as I do,

Meet Simo …

What makes the difference?

I was recently asked this question by someone I really admire. She asked me what made the difference between the way I approach life and the way a lot of other people my age approach it. She wasn’t asking in a way that put me on a pedestal (thank goodness because that would be mis-leading … I really am just the ‘girl next door’), but rather curious about why I am pro-active when it comes to my health and education. How do I know what I know at my age? Why am I empowered rather than playing the victim? Why do I question things? How is it that I am so content in being different when most teenagers just want to ‘fit in’?

You see that gorgeous creature front right, bobbing down beside me? That’s today’s guest Donna Heathcote. Donna and I met last November at a retreat called Awaken the Change Within. We instantly developed girl-crushes due to our shared interest in gut health, mindset and puppies. I call her my ‘other mother’ and she calls me daughter (peas in pods!).

Meet Donna …
