3 quotes about fear stopping you | Episode 87

3 quotes about fear stopping you | Episode 87

We’re talking about fear and the way it stops us from doing the things we want to do. Fear is at the base of any time we show hesitation or doubt. I’ve spent alot of time, and wasted alot of time, making decisions based on what scares me, and I think it’s something we need to face.

Here are 3 quotes to help us look at fear and how it stops us.

Embrace your weird, its what makes you, you | Stay true to yourself always | Episode 83

Embrace your weird, its what makes you, you | Stay true to yourself always | Episode 83

new week, new episode, new quote to share with you!

I really wanted to talk about how we try to remember to do the things we like, even if they seem weird to others, or not what is expected of you. Staying true to what you like is keeping aligned to who you truly are - I love the weird ones, because I know they have the confidence to be themselves :)

 3 quotes for building better habits | Episode 81

3 quotes for building better habits | Episode 81

Thank you so much for your patience - I was supposed to be back last week, but I underestimated how much time I would have to myself and then it was Friday and still no podcast - which is completely okay for course isn’t it?

This week’s episode is about building better habits so we can stay on track with our goals :) I have 3 quotes that I’d love to share with you!

I didn’t come into camera today to record the podcast so only check out the video version if you want to see the artwork I made for each quote ;) 

Let me know which quote is your favourite, come and find me on instagram @makesunshineco

Uncertain, imperfect, irresponsible | what I’m learning about OCD | Episode 80

Uncertain, imperfect, irresponsible | what I’m learning about OCD | Episode 80

Hooray it’s episode 80! I’m so glad you made it :) 

This week I wanted to talk about a set of words that have kept me going while I start to understand and work through my OCD and anxiety - a lot of the healing is through action and being and doing, so working with our brains (thoughts) and teaching our bodies (action and stored trauma) new safety signals is how we start to live with challenges like this.

i’m taking a 2 week break while my kids are on school holidays, so I hope you can check back on a past episode or two while I‘m away. Let know if there are any quotes you love - come and find me on instagram @makesunshineco or thisquotepodcast.com

Whatever you’re not changing, you’re choosing | Episode 79 | Eczema & chronic illness, Sydney city adventure

Hey guys, I’m back with a new episode - maybe one of the most important ones I’ve made. 

If you can watch this video on Spotify or YouTube, i’m sharing with you (visually) 2 things - my eczema rash and a mini vlog from my trip into the city over the weekend. It’s the first time I’ve shared a photo of my eczema online - I’m about 3 months into this flare up and it’s sucks BUT I know someone will relate. I really like making videos - so if you like seeing more about my life, let me know on instagram @makesunshineco so I can create more for you :) 

Remember this quote - we cannot change everything, but we can choose alot of things instead and despite it. What do you choose?

Everything you thought was drowning you, was teaching you | Episode 74

Everything you thought was drowning you, was teaching you | Episode 74

I’m back! 

this week I’m taking a bit about learning experiences - whether it’s in hindsight, or using mindfulness when we’re in the middle of it. 

I do believe we can learn something from all experiences  in life, and while it never feels easy or good, it’s worth knowing you will be okay and something will come from it.

Hello! I am back for another episode of the podcast - no YouTube video of me recording this for you again this week, but I wanted to share this new quote with you this week :)

Nothing triggering in this episode (I hope), but this quote is helping me stay present and not try and worry too much about what may or may not happen in the future. I hope it gives you a little courage and inspiration to keep going, to stay mindful and embrace the current moment you're experiencing a bit more.

Who am I? What do I want? How do I get there? | EPISODE 69

Who am I? What do I want? How do I get there? | EPISODE 69

This episode is sort of a 'part 2' from last week's quote - I think once you know who you AREN'T, then asking yourself these 3 questions becomes easier. 

Who are you? What do you want? How are you going to get there? 

This doesn't just apply to your career choices - think about it as a guide & compass for anything in your life that you really want to work on right now. Relationships, your physical health, your mental health, how you speak to yourself, how you parent... 

Let me know if this quote helps you! Come and find me on Instagram @makesunshineco or thisquotepodcast.com

How are you holding yourself back? 

How will you push past your obstacles and start moving forward?

I think the whole world is feeling all kinds of stuff right now - I've been keeping it low this past week and wanted to share some words of hope, instead of my usual motivational story telling. There's never enough words I can share that will ever be enough, but I hope this small offering helps someone today.

I hope wherever you are in the world, you are safe.

The World Needs One Of You Too | Celebrating Your Uniqueness | Episode 64

This week's quote is a long one (LOL) so it's not in the full title of this episode, but there it is: 

"how cool is it, that the same god that created oceans and mountains and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too"

I thought this quote was so special - it really encapsulates how I feel about celebrating who we are and embracing our uniqueness, instead of trying to fit in with others. 

Let me know what you thought of this quote and whether it will help you move forward with how you show up in this world x
