What would life look like if you made space for your emotions, instead of trying to protect yourself from them?
Emotions are messengers of wisdom. They tell us sometimes what our mind can't see. When we disconnect from our emotions we disconnect from this information and wisdom.
What if we asked ourselves more "How do I feel" instead of "What do I think"?
What if we integrated the brilliance of our mind and the truths of our heart instead of pitting these parts against each other?

In this guided 10 minute meditation, Bek will guide you to drop into your heart space and intentionally tune into the powerful feeling of deep gratitude to start your beautiful day!
Your programming of negative thoughts and limiting beliefs still exist because they are serving you in some way. Instead of pushing them away or pretending like they don't exist, why don't we explore what we are getting out of them being replayed over and over? How do we benefit from them and why do hold onto them so tightly?
Instead of beating ourselves up in guilt and shame for 'not doing enough' how can you take the pressure off yourself and get into a rhythm of just showing UP for yourself.
Instead of have to's and need tos, what could DECIDING to live from a high vibration do for us? What if we shifted from focusing on the doing to envisioning the BEing?

Hello beautiful humans!
Catharine Ross and I would love to share with you a 5 minute Tapping session that you can do yourself, whenever you are feeling anxious or stressed.
Tapping, also know as EFT, stands for “Emotional Freedom Techniques” and incorporates the wisdom of Chinese Acupuncture with Western Cognitive Psychology techniques to ease emotional (and physical) discomfort caused by blockages in the body’s energy system.
The best part is we don't use needles! Instead we use the fingertips to tap on various points on the face and upper body.
Many clinical trials have shown that by doing this we re-balance the body’s energy system by short-circuiting the brain's stress response and re-programming it to think differently about the problem. EFT has also been shown to rapidly reduce the emotional impact of memories or traumas that trigger distress.
This wonderful self-help tool has gained widespread recognition and is now used by countless doctors, health practitioners and psychologists around the world to help their patients achieve beneficial, lasting change in all aspects of their lives.
Give it a go but please don't do this while you're driving!

Talitha is a Hynotherapist, Counsellor & Nutritionist.
In this episode, Talitha and I chat the broad range of what disordered eating can look like - from anorexia to comfort eating. Talitha shares with us her own recovery from anorexia as a teen, and how she uses Hypnotherapy now to help her clients overcome binge eating, night eating, anorexia, bulimia and so on.
We chat about how as a society we have not been taught to feel and express our emotions, or even to ask for help, so instead we turn to substances, distractions and food to help soothe us. We touch on the the power of the subconscious, but also the self destructive power of shame and guilt.
Talitha gives us steps as to what people can do right now in quarantine, if they are feeling triggered, and finding it difficult to break out of binge eating cycles.
