When Larissa met Ben, she knew she wanted children.
They got married and had their first beautiful baby, Olivia. They faced health challenges with Olivia before she was born, and despite being told Olivia would be a ‘dull child’ because she wasn’t breast fed, she’s definitely not dull.
They then decided to have Matilda, their second daughter, and the births couldn’t be more different. Be inspired.
Jenni helps women create a luscious life, and today we dive into self-pleasure and why it’s the best gift you can give yourself and your partner, especially after having a baby.
We are more than the nappy changer and toy tidier, and when we take time out to pleasure ourselves, we bring more energy into our life.
Sex also improves our happy hormones, which can mean you like being around you more – plus others will too. Be inspired.
Let’s think about self-love differently.
What if self-love was everything you did in your life?
What if the things you told yourself were bad or you shouldn’t be doing, were actually exactly what you should be doing?
We’re so hard on ourselves, and from that hard space we try to create change in our lives – but we can’t sustain that change. Loving on yourself, creates sustainable change.
Let’s dive in and inspire each other.
Chris Deal is my husband, and when I asked him to share his side of our journey to have Teddy, he said ‘sure’. Whilst Post Natal Depression is typically a feminine illness, I believe that men struggle too and in this podcast I hope to inspire you to have a conversation with your partner/husband, and create an even deeper connection.
There are 8 reasons why we crave foods.
And we’ve all been there – face first into that tub of ice cream, block of cheese (it’s healthy right?), bottle of wine.
Cravings are messages from our bodies, they’re signs of something being out of balance, so you can think of cravings as a gift – we all love gifts right? So let’s love ourselves more and listen in to the gifts.
Let’s dive in and inspire each other.
We’re good at making changes in our life, especially when we have a desire to do so.
It’s not about motivation, it’s about what we tell ourselves – it’s the stories that this is worthwhile rather than why bother, nothing will change.
It’s this change that can stop us from even starting.
I’ve started to see self-love differently.
A few years back my intuition was telling me to share information about self-love, so I ran a 14 day challenge.
I remember when I put that challenge together I wondered – how will I ever fill 14 days!
We’re being spoken to all the time, and our role is to listen.
We don’t though, and that’s ok – yes it’s ok because the messages will keep coming until we can create the space to listen, to trust and to apply.
Grow so your children can grow differently.
When Teddy was young, and he was learning to use an iPad, one of his brothers said to me ‘geez he’s better at using that thing than me’ and perhaps he is, even though he hasn’t been using if for a long time – and perhaps his brother wasn’t using apple, so if he did maybe he’d be pretty good at it anyway.
My response to him was ‘of course, Teddy’s upgraded software’.
Living in alignment isn’t hard but it isn’t easy either.
Much like eating for our body with foods that make us feel well verses foods that don’t make us feel well.
Living in alignment requires us to say no to things and we’re not always good at saying no. It can also requires us to sit with decisions, not make them on the spot because we need more time verses making the person happy in the moment.
