Pleasing others comes pretty naturally to me and you might be a little bit the same. People pleasing is a habit - one that we likely picked up in our childhood or thanks to our personality type. Awareness is the first step to overcoming people pleasing and my guest today is a wealth of knowledge on this topic, because she too has lived and breathed people pleasing.

About my guest

Natalie Moore is a marathon running mum who has been on a personal adventure of growth and transformations over the last few years.

Natalie found herself stuck in life, completely lost in her identity and constantly yearning for more than the constant rushing syndrome, the never ending to-do list and the working mum juggle.

She set herself a life goal in early 2016 to address this stuck feeling and so her...

Having children changes a lot of things and fitness is no exception. My guest today is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to creating fitness programs to suit busy mums because she KNOWS that it's not always possible to spend 60 minutes a day at the gym getting in the ultimate workout.

If you have been wanting to incorporate more movement and fitness into your busy days without feeling like you need to spend an hour at the gym, then this episode is for you!

OMG I did something AMAZING! I wanted to tell you all about it #BecauseSharing...

Recently, my husband had a lady come to speak to his school staff about mental health and in particular, about how we will never complete all of the tasks on our to-do list.

Like, never. Ever. WTF? I know, it's kind of depressing to realise this.

Even though (deep down) we know this, we continue to beat ourselves up about never finishing 'all the things'. WHYYYY???

Do you know that 80% of the things we accomplish in our day, never existed on our to-do list in the first place? Yep! Crazy hey!!?? They're the things that we do incidentally, or opportunistically or sometimes urgently, due to timing, urgency or something going wrong.

So instead of working SOLELY...
