We've all "been there, done that" with medical professionals who don't seem to truly listen. Of course, many of these people are busy and under a lot of pressure. Many also don't have a deep understanding of chronic conditions and the holistic, root-cause approach to treatment. But that doesn't make it feel any less painful, upsetting or unsettling when you don't get the ears or answers you need. This episode is here to help you get more out of your medical meetings - starting now! It's based on my personal experience of attending WAY more than my fair share of doctor's appointments - good and bad. (Some of those stories included on the pod too!). We cover my top tips PLUS qualities to look for in a medical practitioner. Hope it helps!

More Mojo's first Christmas episode! And although I'm a total Christmas fairy, the contents of this episode is more about personal growth and reflections for the New Year. It all kinda just came to me and flowed, so I had to share: We're talking about "too muchness", bitchy boundaries, feeling "behind" on life, knowing you're not broken and NO MORE WAITING (featuring some big personal news on the topic of CHANGE... hehe). Merry Christmas honeys. Love, Sarah xox

If you're feeling FRAZZLED, ungrounded, uninspired or BLEH right now, this episode is for you. Anthony Thompson of MindMojo is the soothing soul you need in your ears today. Anthony has been practicing Vedic meditation for over 50 years and he now teaches it to students across the world. Throughout his life, he has used this powerful practice to overcome obstacles with grace and I'm so excited to share his wisdom with you.
In this enlightening conversation, we chat about:
- Anthony’s experience with meditating for over 50 years (since being at school during The Beatles’ hay day and spiritual awakening)
- What it was like meditating without community and before the internet
- How meditation supported Anthony through his teenage years as well as during challenging times and transitions like divorce and redundancy
- How meditation helps us discover our true essence and find fulfilment through inner peace (which colours everything you think and do)
- How meditation helps your thinking become more independent
- Anthony’s experiences with further meditation study and retreats in India
- Everything is energy! Your energy governs every single aspect of your life. Meditation provides the nourishing rest you need to achieve this (it gets us into a deeper state than the deepest point of sleep!)
- Why running doesn’t count as meditation (sorry guys!)
- The importance of "the pause"
- How to make meditation a SUSTAINABLE part of your routine (not just an app on your phone that never gets used!)
- What Vedic meditation is and what makes it different from Transcendental Meditation
Plus so much more!

While the holiday season often brings a lot of fun, it can also cause serious chaos: Dramas at dinner parties. Running yourself down from running around. Multi-tasking mayhem and splashing too much cash. The pressure is high and many of us end up feeling pretty low by the end of it.
From the perspective of someone who has learned to honour her needs through living with a chronic health condition, here are 5 ESSENTIALS for managing your energy during the festive period.
The holidays can be an especially tiring and tricky time for those of us with chronic conditions and autoimmune diseases. If you would like 5 quick tips on making socializing with a health condition less draining and more FUN, then download my free Social Situations Cheatsheet now (before all the chaos kicks off!). You could even pass the link to a friend who would love to know you’re thinking of them.

Wow, this feels vulnerable but also NEEDED. I recently realised that since coming back to Instagram after having Jaxon, I've been sucked into sharing more REELS and less REAL stuff. And that's not what I'm about. My community has always been based on sharing the highs and lows because healing (and life!) isn't linear. So, in this episode, I'm deep-diving into 3 big themes that have been weighing on my mind lately and negatively impacting my mental health. I never want to come across as a "sage on the stage" just because I'm a coach. I'm far from perfect, I don't know it all and I want my content to be about authentic connection above all else. I hope this episode helps you feel less alone in whatever you're going through right now during this human experience. Love, Sarah xox

I feel like every woman needs to hear this episode because we're all dealing with some form of body image issues - and it's not surprising given our society's impossible and rapidly evolving beauty standards as well as the immense pressure of social media.
In this episode, with Amy-Kate Golby (PT, bodybuilder and women's advocate), we cover:
- Being a "sporty tomboy" at school and not fitting in with the popular girls
- Feeling out of place and not good enough because she had a different body shape
- Constantly asking, “Am I good enough?!"
- Dieting and losing weight for a job
- Feeling underestimated because of her body shape
- You can do anything! Don’t let others superficial judgements get in your way
- Training and doing fitness for the right reasons
- From cardio queen to strength trainer and bodybuilding competitor
- Qualifying as a PT, but still feeling broken inside
- Falling out of structure and control because of travelling and work
- Learning to move for the love of it
- Amy's bodybuilding competition and journey during the pandemic and what it taught her
- Knowing your deep “why” and using planning, discipline and commitment to push you through (hint: don’t rely on motivation!)
- Social media pressures, fake-ness and evolving beauty standards
- Doing social media in an honest, raw and vulnerable way
- Amy’s body positivity journey with lingerie partnerships and promoting body diversity and inclusivity to build women up
- Amy being told she was sexualising fitness and why she didn't let other people's opinions stop her
- How Amy got past her inner demons
- Why it’s important not to focus on the size of your clothes
- Tips if you’re struggling with a personal challenge right now
- Amy’s wish for everyone: Be brave!

This podcast episode WILL change your life, period (I feel like an imposter saying "period" like that!). But seriously, give this a listen ASAP because it applies to everyone and the insights are life-changing.
In this powerful episode of the pod, Aimee Rai and I cover:
- Aimee's dysfunctional childhood (+90% of us didn't receive the love, nurturing and guidance we needed as children)
- Aimee's struggles with addiction, anxiety, depression and self-harm as a teenager
- Toxic shame and low self-esteem as an earmark of trauma
- The importance of "doing the work" as a parent (or before parenthood)
- Why mindset work is flawed and the need for a trauma-informed, body-based approach to trauma
- "There's nothing wrong with you, something happened to you."
- The limitations of 12-step fellowship groups
- Hypervigilance, sympathetic nervous system dominance and seeing yourself through the lens of your nervous system
- Why a holistic, multi-faceted process is critical to trauma healing
- Aimee's issues with body image and working in the cosmetic surgery industry
- Tips for deepening your intuition and connection with yourself
- How to relax into healing
"This journey will be the most exciting and inspiring thing that you've ever done in your life. It's the journey of becoming fully human. There's nothing more magnificent. There's nothing more ecstatic. When we open to the pain, we open to all the joys and wonders of life as well, so as brutal as it sounds, there's really nothing to fear here and there's only wonder waiting on the other side."
"If I learn to regulate my nervous system and deal with the emotional impact of that trauma, everything else will resolve itself. What a relief!"

Our first interview episode is LIVE! And who better to kick things off with than my breathwork facilitator buddy, Chelsey, Co-Founder of Rooted Beings Meditation Collective. We’re starting here because Chelsey is an inspiring example of something many of us can relate to having worked in the corporate world and "hustle culture".
Chelsey used her mindfulness practice to pivot from law firm life into a purpose-driven legal career in the non-profit space. In doing so, she consciously created a more mindful and aligned life.
Listen now to find out how she got her mojo back!
I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did - and stay tuned for upcoming interviews with experts on trauma, body image, diet/exercise mindset, meditation, hypothyroidism, and more.

Mindset marketing is SO last year (or decade), but that doesn't mean mindset work isn't valuable or important. In this episode, I'm sharing what it means, why it matters and tools/tactics you can use to upgrade your mindset while ALSO explaining how this needs to be done alongside the deeper work (like trauma/emotional healing) in order to deliver MEANINGFUL transformation and results. This is one of three episodes in a mini-series. I'm excited! P.S. Sign up for my upcoming "I've Got Hashimoto's.

Going on holiday with a chronic or autoimmune condition, like Hashimoto's, can feel very overwhelming and stressful. But it doesn't have to be. I've learned a lot during my healing journey, and it no longer feels like I'm out of control or panicky about what I'll eat, how I'll manage my supplement routine or what might throw my health off. I'm sharing my top travelling tips as well as some funny real-life stories to lighten things up... I mean, we are talking about holiday FUN after all!

Figuring out how to feed your baby can be emotional, complex and exhausting. It isn't linear and you can feel like you're being judged for your choices - much like a healing journey! That's why I wanted to share my story (with all its ups, downs and funny moments!) because what women need is more education, support and empathy as well as the confidence to trust their own intuition... something that can be hard to hear amongst all the noise. However you feed your baby and whatever challenges you have faced, you are a SUPERHERO. All mums are. This is just my personal experience and I hope it helps you feel less alone in your struggles and successes.

My answer to this may not be what you think! I have always had an unhealthy relationship with food and struggled with distorted body image issues. It wasn't until I became ill and got diagnosed with Hashimoto's that things started to change for me, after years of eating extremes, guilt and self-hate. I wanted to share my perspective on the emotional side of eating that often isn't discussed, especially when we talk about healing diets, like the autoimmune protocol... because food isn't just a logical, functional thing for most of us. However, it can be a source of joy and healing if we approach it in the right way, recognise and heal our trauma, and are then able to shift our mindset/approach.

Who doesn't love a birth story?! I think this stuff needs to be talked about more. Women don't often get to hear about what happens - the highs and the lows. We are left wondering at best and fearful at worst. I loved listening to birth stories when I was pregnant, and it feels good to reflect on such a transformative experience in my life. I hope my positive (positive because I felt informed and in control of my decisions - not because it was perfect or went to plan!) birth story is helpful for you - whatever your reason for listening.

Health is wealth! But I took it for granted when I was younger (hello, life-and-soul-of-the-party type). I'm sharing the details about what happened when my body stopped whispering and started SHOUTING: kidney infection turned hospitalised with septicaemia, and later diagnosed with Hashimoto's. This is how I used rock bottom as a wake-up call to turn my life around (and become a healthy, happy hippie in the process!).
