Throwing back to one of the most popular episodes of Yes You and an important reminder for any time, but especially this time of year. In Australia, it’s summer time, and we’re approaching Christmas. And so we need to be on high alert when it comes to two things: bush fire danger and B-S messaging that tries to convince us our bodies need changing! In this episode we’re talking about the latter. I share about how the Great Summer Body Lie has managed to thrive, and how we can choose to cultivate an alternative narrative for ourselves. Let's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.

Sue Sheehan and her partner Haydn opened their organic shop in a forklift bay in the market almost 25 years ago.In today's episode, I chat with Sue about turning a passion for organic produce into a business, uneasiness with capitalism, expanding out of necessity, and where the shop name, 'Rhubarb Rhubarb' comes from.

It's always the best to think postiive, right? Not necessarily so. In this episode we're looking at prospective hindsight, and how imagining something has already gone wrong can provide some powerful insights to help us get the most out of a project or experience. This is not just about ruminating or worrying about things outside our control. I'm sharing the 'premortem' exercise. More effective than a SWOT analysis, this method is better at predicting the reasons something might fail, and empowering you with information you can use to take positive preventative action.  You can use this in business of course, but really you could apply it in any area of your life - I'm thinking relationships, holidays, investments, and other big plans or projects.  Have a listen and give it a go. Let's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.

I'm chatting with remarkable human, Integrative Sexologist, and my dear friend, Vanessa Muradian. Vanessa thinks and feels wide and deep and we cover a bit in this episode, from experiencing grief during the ovulation phase to cultivating intimacy with and without sex, to the most common reasons people come to see Vanessa as a Sexologist, to my perception of Vanessa as someone with big feelings and why that seems ironic to them.Grab a cuppa for this one and enjoy. xxVanessa (she/they) is a sexologist, yoga teacher, speaker, community facilitator and pleasure activist of Armenian and Anglo-Australian descent living, loving and working on the unceded lands of the Kulin nation. Their work is grounded in the belief that the pursuit of pleasure is an act of resistance and a liberatory practice.At the heart of Vanessa’s work is a question. They ask: how can we more fully access the abundance of pleasure that is possible in our bodies, in our lives? As with any good question, it’s not about an answer — but, instead, a commitment to a slow, relational and wildly nonlinear process.Connect with Vanessa @vanessa.muradian.sexologist on Instagramand at miamuse.comLet's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.
