The Health Coach Approach with Emma

I originally came to yoga to support my mental health back in 2010 so I am very excited to share my chat with Dr Lauren Tober, who is a Clinical Psychologist and Senior Yoga Teacher based in Byron Bay and Mullumbimby, Australia. 

Dr Lauren integrates the best of western psychology with ancient yogic wisdom and we dive into how your yoga practice can be an effective way to support your mental health, as well as be a guide for living a healthy and happy life. My favourite part of the chat is when Dr Lauren gives us complete permission to just let go and break down if we need to - it's powerful stuff!

If you want to slow down the pace of your own life, create more ease and flow or are a health professional looking for evidence-based ways to support your client's wellness (not just illness!) ~ this episode is for you.

I was overjoyed to chat with Kristine Weber, MA, C-IAYT, eRYT500, in this episode as it was many years ago I came across her teachings and they expanded my notion of what it is to be healthy and transformed my movement practices both personally and professionally. She is a leading world authority on the neuroscientific benefits of slow, mindful movement and an advocate for the use of these practices as a solution to the healthcare crisis. She is leading the charge to get slow, mindful practices to people who desperately need them through her Subtle Yoga Revolution – which has been praised by thousands all over the world.

If you want to slow down the pace of your own life, create more ease and flow or are a health professional looking for evidence-based ways to support your client's wellness (not just illness!) ~ this episode is for you. 

This episode is different from any others that I've done before - this is no pre-written script or pre-thought. It is straight from the heart, straight from the soul. 

Spoken at a time when I felt lost, uncertain and overwhelmed, feeling physically sick and rundown. Chatting to you from a vulnerable place, walls down, nowhere to hide. 

My intention with this was to start really, truly being ok with not being ok. I hope this gives you permission to do the same. It's ok not to have it all together, not to know what the next step is, to be a highly sensitive person in this modern, fast-paced world and speak out about it! 

I hope it gives you permission to let go and know you are wonderful, exactly as you are - walls down, heart out. 

*A little disclaimer: Some technical difficulties on my side of the chat so apologies so that one, sorry guys! I hope the conversation is still an enjoyable experience for your earholes!* 

I came across today's guest by watching her TED Talk. Lael Stone's talk hit me in the heart. I shed a few tears and had to get her on the show to discuss and unpack. In this episode, Lael helps us understand how to raise emotionally intelligent kids and how we can become emotionally intelligent adults and deepen our self-awareness in the process. 

We discuss the magic ingredients in creating harmony in our homes and within ourselves. We also plunge into schooling and the need for deeper connection in the education system and what this means for future generations.

At the end of our chat, Lael shares super practical tips for doing inner work so we can enjoy healthy relationships with our kids and perhaps most importantly, enjoy a strong, understanding, and caring relationship with ourselves.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our chat. 

If you want to work with Lael or myself, see our information below. 

Welcome to Pillar 4! The final foundational principle of The HCA Wellness Curriculum. 

Pillar 4 is Mindful Moments. Embedding Mindful Moments into our day makes physiological changes to our nervous system that helps us be calmer, clearer and more relaxed. Mindful Moments help us to feel like we have space like we can breathe and move with more ease throughout our day and, ultimately our life. This pillar guides us to dance with the day and get into a more natural rhythm of flow, where we feel more connected to ourselves, each other, and our environment in positive, feel-good ways.

I was beyond excited and fangirling hard for this interview with Dr Peta Stapleton!

Welcome to pillar number 3; The HCA Wellness Toolkit! 

This pillar arms you with a variety of simple and practical tools to safeguard and support your health and wellbeing. These tools help keep you moving forward, accept what is and tap into what’s already within you to create a life you love and feel well from within!

Find out exactly how this meaningful pillar can be used in your life in this episode which is actually a recording from a live wellness webinar earlier this year!

Today’s guest is Garima Bharti, founder and business owner of Get Better Physio and Pain-Free Mama. Garima shares her story of how she wasn’t satisfied with the quality of physiotherapy that was being delivered in Australia and this spurred her on to create a service that offered more. Her purpose is in helping others, particularly women, to overcome chronic pain and help them in their journey of recovery and pain-free living.

During her own pregnancy, Garima suffered from horrendous back pain and experienced post-natal anxiety which eventually led to a pretty big breakdown as she calls it. Through this experience, however, Garima was able to turn her focus to nutrition, mindset and her own physiotherapy practice to make a full recovery and then some. She made fascinating discoveries in its relation to chronic pain and now shares this knowledge with her clients.

A heart-warming, very real and inspiring personal story, I hope you enjoy this latest podcast episode on The Health Coach Approach with Emma.

Welcoming Steve Morley to The Health Coach Approach with Emma podcast! 

This episode is a super special one. I sat down and chatted with Steve Morley on the topic of men’s health. And not men’s health where we talk about getting a six-pack, smashing it out at the gym or pumping pre-workout powders. No no! This shit is the real deal. 

We discuss toxic masculinity and the negative effects it has on our men and our boys. Steve created The Mateshop as a space, as a community, for men to be truly seen, heard and to connect with one another. A place that holds room for empathy and bonding without judgement. A community fosters brotherhood and creates an atmosphere of positive masculinity.

I believe this is such important and needed work, so I’m grateful for guys like Steve and others out there, leading the way and paving the way for men to be healthy in holistic and genuine ways and well in a way that makes a real difference to their lives and the lives of those around them.

*Sensitive Issue Warning* We touch on mental health issues and suicide. If these topics cause distress, please tread carefully.

An incredibly raw chat about life and mental health, with a man that chases down the biggest waves in the world for fun, Brenden Newton. An ex-professional bodyboarder, a father and husband, Brenden blows the lid off what it's like to live with a mental illness such as obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). 

In this episode, Brenden gives us an insight into what it was like living with OCD in his younger years and the struggle he still faces today. An honest and open conversation about highs and lows, as well as his achievements in professional bodyboarding, such as creating documentaries and landing on the front pages of magazines with mind-blowing images from his bodyboarding expeditions. 

The work he does with the Australian Indigenous Mentoring Experience (AIME) is also another captivating chapter in the life of Brenden. He reveals why he rejected the idea of teaching as soon as he finished studying a four-year degree in Physical and Health Education and how it led to something that makes him feel extremely fulfilled and like he is making a true difference in kids lives.  

We discuss what helps pull him back when OCD is taking hold and what keeps him his healthiest self, and you might be surprised by the answers. 

Hold onto your headphones and strap yourself in listeners as you get ready for an insight into the inspirational and truly incredible human being that is Brenden Newton.

Zachary Bennett-Brook, an Indigenous man of Torres Strait Islander ancestry born and raised on Dharawal Country (Wollongong), is the artist and owner of Saltwater Dreamtime. Creating artworks on buildings, schools and surfboards, he is a contemporary artist whose love for the ocean and surroundings inspires his well-known artwork. 

In this episode, we discuss what health means in a holistic sense, why creativity, culture and connecting with nature is important and how becoming aware of who we are is essential if we want to live out our dreams, achieve success and be truly happy from within. 

We discuss how, despite being reluctant to even finish year 12, his final schooling years sparked a deep connection to his indigenous heritage that came out through his art. In this chat, Zach speaks of how he continues to align his values with his work and this was tested when it came to designing a surfboard piece for Chris Hemsworth. 

Sensory deprivation float tanks, sitting under the stars at night, as well as how it can seem as though we have two voices in our head at times is also discussed!
