It was Friday night, Chris and I were on the lounge watching the new episodes of Sex and the City. I wasn’t overly keen to watch them, although I loved the original series. I’ve loved Sarah Jessica Parker since Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and Footloose, and I wondered if it’d be like putting on an old pair of trackies that just feel oh so comfy.
It’s funny to be talking about my poo, but let’s do it and hopefully it’ll inspire you to explore your guts too.
That’s effectively what we’re doing. Our poo tells a story. Whether it be runny, stiff or a number 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart, you can still have ‘stuff’ going on that you need to sort out.
I wasn’t expecting the results I got, and maybe if I looked at other signs, the writing was on the wall. Doing a stool test was a quicker way to sort my shit out (pun intended) and help me raise my energy levels.
All our actions have equal and opposite reactions.
We’ve all heard that saying but have you ever really thought about it and applied it in your own life?
Mirrors are an opportunity for us to learn and grow, and in this episode Suze guides us through the process of seeing the mirrors in our lives, learning the stories we’ve been telling ourselves and how we can re-create those stories to live a life we love.
Let’s inspire each other.
To Do Lists, we all have them, but if you really look at the things that are on your to do list, are they there for the sake of doing them or are they there because they’re things that are in alignment with you?
Let’s strip back our to do lists and bring in things that fall under our key values and set ourselves up for success.
Let’s inspire each other.

Being perfect and sitting in perfectionism can keep us stuck, it keeps us in fear town and we’ll tell ourselves there’s benefits to doing things perfectly or looking perfect, but it doesn’t support us in connecting with ourselves and with others.
In fact, it keeps us lonely and not achieving our goals – the true ones that’re going to help us grow.
Are you ready to let go of perfectionism in your world?
Let’s inspire each other.
My first appointment with Brooke, my Naturopath, was on 12 October 2021. I wandered into her office with my list of health concerns and we talked. I didn’t share my list with her, we just talked.
She asked me about what brought me to see her and I shared with her what I was working on for 2022. That I’d given up chocolate in 2021 and I wanted to take my health to the next level and there were a few things concerning me. My first step was to get a baseline of my health and to work with someone like herself to do that.
My over arching desire was to create more energy in my life. I felt like I was constantly tired, sometimes worse than others, and generally just getting by. I wanted to wake up with energy, but that wasn’t the case more often than not.
I knew that Health was my focus, and to get started, I needed to understand my baseline of health, where my health was right now.
I went back to my list of health from Chapter 1:
On 31 December 2020, I wondered ‘if I was to make one change this year, that would have the biggest impact on my life, what would it be?’
I sat and breathed into it, getting into my body, not my head, and chocolate came to me.
Hmmm interesting.
I sat with that idea. Chocolate and I were besties, and I didn’t want to give up chocolate.
We’d been through so much together – celebrations, sadness, grief, just because. I could always count on chocolate to make me feel good no matter what.
That creamy texture, the crunch and smoothness of the chocolate, and the crack of the nuts – dairy milk almond, my fav.
