If you think back to yourself in 2019, and where you wanted to be in 5 years time, is that your current reality? All going well, if you have dedicated your life to one of growth and alignment, you should essentially be, where you once dreamed of.... I was recently reminded in a podcast about how much can change in 5 years - so I took it as an oppor…

This episode was so fun to record! I asked ChatGPT to analyse my birth chart with specific questions around my life purpose and the ideal location of where I should settle down. Now I know ChatGPT answers based on a whole load of information and data but it's still so fun to use it as a tool in this way to help me to think about things differently.…

It's weird calling it a challenge because it's just my life now - but let's recap on my 8-week challenge to lose some weight and heal my gut. I am so proud of myself for what I achieved, the discipline and new habits I created, and the information I educated myself on to ensure I continue to nourish my body in a happy and healthy way going forward.…

Are you someone who lacks boundaries? Says yes to everything but doesn't actually sit back and think about whether this is something you want or have the capacity to do? In this episode I chat to you about what having no boundaries has cost me, how I learned that I needed them, and what I started doing to implement them. Then I chat a bit about rej…

It's very common to let ourselves down first before anyone else, and that's because we often believe we don't deserve the best, we put everyone before ourselves and when something has to give, it usually is the commitments we make to oneself. In this episode, we dive deep into the science behind keeping your word, why we do it, and how it leads to …

So yeah....it's been 6 weeks! Hey guysss!! August and September are notoriously hibernation months for me, it's the thick of Winter, no public holidays in sight, and I'm hanging on by a thread waiting for warmer days. Well we've almost dug ourselves out of this little trough and I'm ready to feel more alive and thrive as we head into Kiwi Summer! T…

Hello, my friends - in this episode, I share my financial journey from saving as a child, putting my scholarship money in term deposits, purchasing our first home, investing in shares, and now looking ahead to the future.

X Emily's Instagram⁠ Click below to chat wi…

And just like that another quarter bites the duuuuust! I can't believe we are in Quarter 3. We have 6 months left to create 2024 into whatever our heart desires. Now that we're halfway through the year, I can confidently say I've been loving the 12 week year. It's an easy way to structure my goals, and it also forces me to reflect and pivot as nece…

Earlier in the year I created my own little 6-week challenge that was achievable, sustainable and fun. After doing 75 hard last year, I realised I thrive and get shit done when I have structure, however, I wanted to spice things up a bit as 75 hard is not sustainable at all. Join me in this episode as I chat about my 6 week challenge, what I learne…

We're back with another guest episode, which is with one of my besties this time!

She's back with another episodeeee! Today I wanted to chat to you about messy action and how it is the one thing in my life that has always helped me to GET SH*T DONE. As a recovering perfectionist, taking small and imperfect steps toward a goal has helped immensely in boosting my self-confidence and motivation to keep going. If you're starting a b…

Oh, it's a bit of a scandalous topic hitting your ears today! I felt really called to chat about this, especially in the midst of returning to the corporate world on a part-time basis after full-time self-employment. And I'm not the only one, there is a certain allure in the air at the moment to be in a secure 9-5 job rather than taking the risk of…

It's my first sissy chat and I am SO EXCITED to bring you none other than my amazing sister, Emily! She's a force to be reckoned with, and I am so incredibly proud of her journey. We chat all about her university career studying a Bachelor of Engineering with a major in Mechatronics and how she navigated being the only girl in her class. 💀 Then we …

Yip, you read that right....ya girl is going back to work! But why? Don't worry I'll still be running The Sweet Spot and Something New Socials.

Join me in a powerful chat as I discuss my learnings and takeaways from an event hosted by Ben Warren (Founder of BePure). A lot of the teachings he mentioned were from Eckhart Tolle and his book The Power of Now of which I have read half of. A super profound chat on understanding that all we have is the present moment, human being vs human doing, …

It's juicy and profound, giving you insight into t…

It's time I let you all in on the new branch of my business! As most of you know I'm a marketing girly, and have been specialising in content creation for the past four years. A few years ago I saw the offering of wedding content creation over in the States and I kept my eye on it, and now fast forward to 2023/24, it's becoming a fast-growing trend…

It's been a hot minute since I've set myself some kind of challenge or journey to stick to - and I'm no stranger in admitting that the best way for me to get sh*t done is to have some kind of structured routine. I'm currently in a season where I've come off the back of one of the most exciting times of my life (getting married) and with that came a…

I'm a UGC content creator and have been taking it seriously since the end of Nov 2023.

Get ready for a spicy ep that will blow your mind - most of us are all on our own personal healing journeys, that for the most part don't look pretty. Personal growth requires discipline and a willingness to let go of everything you've ever known. I watched a Tiktok a while ago that shifted my whole perspective around my growth and development and …

This episode is a bit of an anomaly as it's more of a life update than a episode that teaches you all something - but I hope you all still enjoy it nonetheless. Our wedding day was the 2nd of March 2024 and it was literally one of the best days of our lives! So much fun, love and good vibes. Join me in this ep as I take you through the festivities …

Mid Jan 2024 marked one whole year of being self employed and without the guarantee of a secure income! To say I was naive when I left my job was an understatement but when you're responsible for your income, you make it work. And that I did. The focus on 2023 was slowing down, and having fun whilst making enough money to sustain my bills. Now in 2…

It's Feb but don't fret! If you're still sussing out your life for 2024 let this episode be the catalyst to set your goals for this year. 2023 was the year of feminine energy, rest and flow for me.

So yeah...if you haven't been following my personal IG you wouldn't know that I went into the mountains of Colombia and drunk ayahuasca whaaaaat! If you don't know what aya is, it's a plant medicine that has healing properties for mental illnesses. It also has psychedelic aspects to it which is why it has gained popularity as a "drug" in the new ag…

Happy New Year Special Humans!! That's right it's a new year and she's making a comeback as she does every January!

Hola mi amors! She's back with a special bonus episode to update you all on my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to Colombia. 🇨🇴 You all know how much anticipation I had built around this trip (literally five years in the making thanks to Covid). 🤒 So ngl, it feels pretty surreal to be typing this from my co-working space in Medellin, Colombia. 💻 I ha…

Hello poddy fam! I'm sad to announce that this is the finale of Season 3. I've appreciated all of your ears this season, but it's gotten to a point where I need to focus on my overseas travels and I'll be back in your ears later in the year with Colombia content. 🤩 Managing burnout and avoiding it is something that I am very passionate about having…

We've all got an angel 👼 and devil 👿 on our shoulders ~ one telling us that achieving balance is an absolute load of crap, and one telling us maintaining a balanced life is necessary for happiness and fulfillment. So who's right? It's a constant battle between the two so in this episode let's dive deep 👇 ⚖️ what is balance? ⚖️ is life just a whole …

A topical question in my life as I consciously step more into more of a human being rather than a human doing. When things feel hard, you have to ask yourself whether this is an opportunity to learn and grow or if this is the Universe telling you that this job, relationship, or situation is not for you? Because there are two parts to it, do you nee…

It's done! She did it! I have successfully completed 75 Hard and in this episode, I share with you my biggest learnings. As I type this it is literally Day 1 of completing it so I'm still processing what I have just achieved and thinking about ways to celebrate. 🎉 I started Day One only committing to 30 days because my 26th birthday was during the …

She's a short and snappy ep this week but that doesn't mean she's any less jam-packed with golden nuggies!

Ok this chat was so fun! Having Emily on from the Hot No Matter What Podcast honestly felt like a catch-up with a friend. As part of 75 HARD, I can't drink alcohol, I'm roughly two months in and it's the longest I've not had a bevvy in my adult life. And Emily has not had a sip of alcohol since the end of last year. So we're both in the midst of ou…

Day 37! I'm at the halfway point for 75 Hard and I didn't even realise it. I know when we last chatted about the challenge I was umming and ahhing about doing 30 days or the whole thing - and it's safe to say I would've been sad if I stopped at 30 days because I'm loving the journey and process and I don't want it to end. I bet you thought you'd ne…

This ep is a long one but she's a goodie! Grab a cuppa and sit down to hear Steph and I chat about all things self-employment and digital nomad life. Steph was on the podcast in March 2021 (S1:E28). In her first ep we chatted about gender pay, achieving work-life balance and making bold decisions. So if that sounds like a bitta you, I highly recomm…

If I've learned one thing from recording this episode it's that the mum and parenting scene can be judgy as heck. If you prioritise your physical and mental health you're selfish, and if you don't you're not looking after yourself to be the best version of yourself for your child. Like with anything, no matter what you do, people will have somethin…

Meditation - it's such a buzzword, we've all heard it's good to practice meditation to give our minds a break - but what is the true power of it? In today's ep I speak with meditation expert Caroline about her teaching practices, how she got into meditation, and how it has changed her life. Now I know meditation isn't for everyone, it wasn't for me…

Learning a new language is hand-downs one of the hardest things I've ever had to do - it'll test you in ways you could've never imagined, and make you question everything you've ever known. Now I know I'm not exactly selling it to you haha, but it will be one of the most rewarding things you ever do because it requires a high level of commitment an…

Yup that's right - I'm jumping on the clickbait bandwagon but I honestly am telling the truth, I have already been paid $15,000 towards my Colombia trip which pretty much covers all of my expenses. For those that don't know, I'll be heading over to Colombia in August to do an internship, I have been planning this since pre-Covid days (2019) and the…
