After finishing her studies, Honor had an opportunity to work with women who had Post-Natal Depression

•Then at around the age of 30 she experienced burnout and all she was offered was medication
•She went on her own healing journey and uncovered her perfectionism and how it was manifesting
•Perfectionism comes from the way we're parented and also the way we're socialised to be the good girl, be polite, be neat etc.
•There's a lot of pressure to fit into these roles and when we step outside of these roles, we don't really know what to do with ourselves
•Mini goals - break down the big goals into tiny steps and just focus on one at a time
•80% of something is better than 100% of nothing

About Honor
Honor Newman is a psychologist who has been specialising in women with perfectionism for the past 7 years.

After experiencing depression as a teenager and especially severely in my 20s I've dedicated my life to learning how to heal in every area of life - including health, wealth, love and happiness. I've seen my life and those of clients transform as there has been shifts in limiting beliefs and traumas from of my mind and body.
I went from living in a falling down share house with no partner and no job to owning a gorgeous four bedroom home with amazing views, a great career as a psychologist and coach, great friends and 2 beautiful children. ( I have a cute lover too but-shhh!)

Habits - taking small sustainable action (breaking big goals down into sustainable steps

INTRO
Suzanne Culberg is a weight loss coach who doesn't do weigh-ins! She helps women press the reset button on their life, establish new habits and chunk down their goals into doable bite-sized parts so they can feel good about the progress they are making.

•Suzanne had 2 kids and a FIFO husband when she decided to enter online business in the weight release area
•She was still 150kg but really wanted to know what was actually going on, beyond the calories in and out
•We understand habits as an adult, such as brushing our teeth or having a shower
•When we go to make a change, we compare ourselves to what we want and it's too big of a jump
•If we discount the power of small steps, we set ourselves up for failure
•Choose a minimum baseline - 5 minutes, 3 days a week - it's about consistency, sustainable and habit rather than outcomes
•Celebrate what you're achieving as you're achieving it!
•Everybody is different - when we're feeling motivated to make a change, it's easier to do stuff so we pick too many
•The process is more important than the outcome
•Add things in, don't cut more out
•Don't wait for motivation... be a GPS - where do you want to go (not away from)

About Suzanne
Many of us want to make life long changes to the way we eat and move, but instead we cycle through patterns of dieting and binge eating. Having overcome this cycle herself, going from super obese at 150 kilograms Suzanne has released 78 kilograms.

Suzanne's great passion is helping people break out of this cycle by understanding that it isn't about the food, people can never get enough of what they don't truly want, and instead she helps them release the weight by uncovering what it is they are truly hungry for!

Suzanne knows that no single approach is right for every individual and so she has trained in a range of modalities including Neuro-linguistic Programming, Personal training and group fitness training (she holds a Certificate III and IV in fitness). Suzanne's educational background also includes a Bachelor of Medical Science from the University of Tasmania.

Katie is all about reclaiming your awesomeness - which is whatever that is for us and how we want to grow our awesomeness!
People work from an emotional level - we carry around our baggage... she helps to lighten the load and get rid of the stress.
Optimal wellness is different for everyone!
When she first started, it was all about helping people change their lives. She was baking paleo foods commercially, as well as working as a teacher and all the usual life stuff. She realised that people needed more than just the recipes and plans - that started her on her NLP and mindset training.
She wanted to teach adults how to handle anxiety!
Katie was always told to 'step out of her comfort zone'.. but it's more like 'expanding your comfort zone'... Step in until you're frightened... then step back and reflect
Breaking it down:
⁃ Support yourself with 4-5 people whose opinion you trust implicitly
⁃ Trust they will tell you their honest opinion
⁃ Have a coach who can push you - they will put it right back to you - who can hear your story or what you're creating

Observe yourself
⁃ get curious about yourself in order to be a great leader for our families or tribes, or communities
⁃ we need to be compassionate with ourselves

Katie has been a Type 1 Diabetic for 33 years - her focus is on getting to optimal health and staying there for as long as possible. She had to have the perfect timing, perfect sugar, perfect health. There was no room for error. Now she's delving into her vulnerability - this perfectionism is no longer serving her!

Katie's passion lies in helping ambitious but health-depleted women increase their productivity and motivation through managing their anxiety/stress, strengthening their mindset and reclaiming their vitality so that they can ENJOY life.

Katie believes you need to give yourself permission to live beyond your fears and free yourself from anxiety. She know what it is like to be BUSY, and to feel like life is spinning out of control, and more than anything, I want to help you create practical solutions to eliminate the overwhelm that has been filling up your life and getting you off track.

Katie is a wife, mum, business owner, anxiety/pts survivor, speaker, educator and the founder of Katie Godden Coaching, your calm and courage coach. In my own life, I've discovered that courage doesn't mean we're never afraid, but instead that courage is simply taking action, even in the face of fear and uncertainty. And now I'm here to not only help you unleash your dream lioness, expand your comfort zone and help you take the steps necessary to make those goals a reality. I never realised the power of taking the chaos out of life.

Lisa is a sales copy specialist helping online entrepreneurs scale their service based businesses with high converting sales copy and funnels. A fast thinking Gemini, Lisa has always been a word wizz, but found her business superpower by accident when she was mentoring start-ups. Whether it was her nursing background or her teacher's instincts, she discovered an uncanny knack to instantly immerse herself in another business, zone-in on the strategic sticking points and effortlessly find intuitive solutions to move past them.
When she's not writing copy, Lisa can be found sleeping under the stars in a swag, experimenting mercilessly in the kitchen or adventuring under sail. Although climbing Mt Kilimanjaro was her biggest challenge yet, she believes adventure is a state of mind, one that she brings to her business everyday.

We often teach children to avoid mistakes and even shame them when they do make mistakes. What we're missing out is the opportunity to help them nurture the qualities of persistence, courage, humility, kindness, stamina, self-control, resistance, and so forth.

Kim Foster-Carlson has been a journalist 30 years, with a history steeped
in international sports. Based in San Francisco, this mother of 3 found her
perfectionism rubbing off on her 2 daughters, who are athletes themselves,
and knew it was time to find a better way.

Caylie and I share a lot of common ideas. Namely around taking Imperfect
Action to get started or begin a new project... getting out of your comfort
zone is called that for a reason.

- Growing up she was obsessed with her body 'not being perfect'
- Body image and conforming to what society refers to as 'beautiful'
- What beauty is for us?
- Understanding your truths. Knowing your absolute, core, top 5 values - the things that you can't live without or we will lose our sense of self, sense of integrity and sense of who we are.
- Knowing your core values will allow you to express yourself without caring about what norm/society will think about you and what you wear, etc.
- She wants to be an inspiration to her girls to break good girl rules
