Self Love Podcast

In this episode, Kim discusses the challenges and rewards of parenting tweens and teens, emphasising that this stage is a period of growth for both parents and children. She explains that adolescence involves significant brain development and that the natural pulling away by teens is a necessary part of their journey towards independence. Kim encourages parents to focus on personal growth, authentic communication, and self love while navigating this stage, reminding listeners that the process is about nurturing relationships rather than seeking perfection.

The natural pulling away is a biological and psychological necessity. It is how they form their own identity. Parenting isn’t about controlling them. It is about growing alongside them. When we do the inner work and show up authentically, with love and honesty, we create a space where they can thrive. Our children are some of our greatest teachers, reflecting back our patterns, values, and even our wounds. They invite us to practice patience, compassion, and self love. This is not a battle to win, but a relationship to nurture. Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, love, and the willingness to grow together.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this insightful episode, Kim speaks with parenting educator Michelle Mitchell who shares her professional journey and expertise in working with tweens and teens, discussing the challenges and joys of parenting during the teenage years. The conversation covers various aspects of parenting, including the importance of balancing independence with support, managing technology use, addressing mental health concerns, and navigating family dynamics. Michelle emphasises the need for parents to educate themselves about their children’s experiences, maintain authentic relationships, while providing guidance and support through the complex teenage years. Packed with stories, wisdom and practical tools, this conversation will leave you encouraged and equipped to parent with self love. About Michelle Michelle Mitchell is an author and speaker, sought after for her compassionate and grounded advice for parenting tweens and teens. She began as a classroom teacher but soon found a special interest in wellbeing. In 2000 she left teaching to establish a health promotion charity and psychology clinic which delivered life skills programs and psychological services to thousands of young people and their families each year. Today she uses her experience to write and speak in schools, community events and through media. The core of her work is helping parents be the trusted, leadership presence that their growing kids need. Her definition of Self Love is: At its heart, Michelle sees self love as a parent showing up happy and authentic, so our kids learn they have permission to do the same. Happiness is important, relationships are give and take and chasing your dreams is something to be proud of. Her favourite quote : If a mum says “You are my 7minutes” and the child says “What 7 minutes” and mum replies “After death the human brain lives for 7 minutes to replay its best memories”. “You are my 7 minutes” Links to follow: Website: www.michellemitchell.org Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/michellemitchell.author/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michellemitchellspeaker Quotes: I know that one caring trusted adult in a kid’s life can literally change the trajectory of a child’s life. Parenting has never been more challenging. There is a grief of letting go in the growing up years that we don’t talk about enough. Parenting is u turn that comes right on back to you. Parenting flows through three stages: dependence, independence, and interdependence. There is flip of being so needed and then receiving messages that you are not needed in the same way. I talk to parents about owning that needy energy. Their ability to differentiate from us as human being is so important. We want the stretch to be manageable, a safe pull away. Our kids need to make mistakes. I am expecting you to act like a teenager, but you need to expect me to act like a parent! Parents chill out! Your kids are ok! AI and social media are shaping a generation. We can’t ignore it, but we can guide our kids through it with boundaries. We need to be on the front foot in our homes. Keep devices out of bedrooms, use parental controls, and have open conversations about tech usage with children. The world is not a safe place, and we need to educate our kids. Parents don’t need to have all the answers. They need to be the safe place where kids feel seen and significant. We need to know who our anchor people are. Strengthen those support layers so no one carries the load alone. When our kids are not communicating. We think talking is the answer when connection is the answer. There is a big difference. What they are needing to know is am I safe, do I belong, and do I matter? They are the things we need to try and answer as a community. Never hesitate to ask for professional support if things are spiralling. If we want to get serious about kid’s mental health, we need to see life through their lens and step into their shoes. Challenging teenage years aren’t lost years. They are full of opportunities for growth, humour, and deeper connection. Limit questions to teenagers to no more than two at a time to avoid appearing needy. It is natural for partners to have different ideas due to their diverse upbringings and backgrounds, but the common goal should be the child’s wellbeing. Using a timer to allow each partner to express their views without interruption. Test and measure ideas when there’s no mutual agreement. Teenagers don’t expect perfection. Perfection is intimidating to them. Get a bit messy with them. Be authentic. Assess whether school issues are “high stake” or “low stake” before determining your response approach. Don’t take teenage disrespect personally. It is usually a reflection of their struggle, not your failure as a parent. Go with the flow! We need to be sharp with them with they are disrespectful. For Example “Love you but don’t love the way you are speaking to me”. To the single parent, the research shows it only takes one caring adult to get a child through. Make sure your kids know how valued and loved they are and stay safe!   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

Subtle energy is everywhere. Even five minutes of silence is enough to recalibrate. When we get quiet our nervous system settles and in that softer state, we hear more. Use your senses as guides. Use the power of aromatherapy to help allow your body to shift or still. Tune into your body’s language, it is always speaking to you. The body never lies. Create rituals that honour the energy flow. Rituals train you to move more gently, more consciously and more aligned with your inner world. Trust the whispers. Self love means trusting your intuition. Subtle energy is pure love. You already hold the answers that you need.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Blair and Kim explore what it means to restore our relationship with the earth in a world increasingly defined by disconnection. Together, they trace humanity’s historical separation from nature. Rooted in the divide between science and magic and amplified through modernisation, industrialisation, and technological progress. Blair shares insights from his work in sustainable farming and his personal journey toward attunement, natural rhythms, and cosmological time. From the power of walking barefoot on the earth to honouring solstices, equinoxes, and moon cycles, he reminds us of the simple, accessible ways we can return to harmony with nature and ourselves. The conversation weaves through themes of human behaviour, societal evolution, and the paradox of progress, highlighting how rules, structures, and even climate narratives can both guide and constrain us. Together, Blair and Kim discuss the importance of self love, intuition, and collective awakening as tools for navigating global challenges and personal growth. You will leave this episode with a renewed sense of hope, grounded practices for attunement, and an invitation to honour the wonder within and the natural cycles around us. About Blair: Soil-wise, soul-deep systems thinker — part earth whisperer, part community weaver, part cosmic cartographer. Rooted in the regenerative agriculture movement, Blair is not just growing food; he is cultivating connection — between land, people, water, and purpose. Work is both grounded and galactic: in one breath mapping crop rotations, in the next, you’re studying planetary dharma a fusion of Indo-Tibetan and Western pyscho spiritual tech — seeing Earth as a living university and humanity as students learning to live in sacred reciprocity. Blair’s mind moves like a keyline plough: precise, pattern-aware, and always in service to flow — be it water, energy, or story. Whether planning planting cycles or guiding audiences through sacred food visualisations, he blends practical know-how with mythic vision. For Blair soil and soul are not separate. Healing the land is planetary work, and planetary work is spiritual work. Speaking the language of biodiversity, sacred cycles, and systems change — not as abstract ideals, but as a lived ethic, a path of service, and a call to awakening. In short a land steward with a poet’s touch and a cosmic compass, reminding us that regeneration isn’t just a method — it’s a movement, a dharma, and a destiny. His definition of Self Love is: Blair’s definition is through a Buddhists lens. Love yourself as you tend to a flame in the wind with care, with shelter, with quiet hands. See this body, this mind, not as mine, but as a rare and precious vessel carried through countless lifetimes to arrive here now. Pour compassion into your heart. Not to fill it with self but to let its waters overflow. Washing the edges between you and the world until there is only thing, one breathe and one heart beating. This is self love to know your own worth because you recognise the worth of all beings to tend to your own awakening because the world is waiting for your light. His favourite quote is: The next Buddha may be a Sangha -Thich Nhat Nanh The next enlightenment will come through as a collective. That is us doing it together! Links to follow: @the_agventure @farmersfootprintaustralia Websites: www.farmersfootprint.org.au www.planetarydharma.com Quotes: My quest – what am I doing here? Who am I? What is my purpose here on earth? I have found purpose and passion in reconnecting people back to the food that they eat, the people that produce their food and in essence themselves. Mother Nature had always been my place of refuge. I always escaped to nature. I felt safe, held and supported. Modernisaton has created a story of separation between humans and nature, leading to an identity crisis. We are divine creatures and here to do a lot more! We are incredible technology on our own. The separation of science and magic 2000 years marking the beginning of commodifying everything from food to human relationships. Attunement is about tuning into the energetic system of another person. It is something children do naturally through wonder and awe. Touch is an amazing congruent for energetic exchange. These moments of connection are always available. Put down the phone, touch a tree, walk barefoot. Human made time structures have pulled us out of harmony. By honouring solstices, equinoxes & moon cycles we can return to natural rhythms. We have an invitation to wake up and watch the sun come up and what her go down. Honour the moments that are outside the captured time frames. Faith and hope are essential tools for navigating struggle. Pain is inevitable but it is also part of growth. Every time there was a challenge I can look back and say that was part of my growth and evolution. We are here for a human experience and that encompasses all of it. We don’t have to do it alone we have each other! I know I can reach out to fellow humans when I feel I need help. Food from the Farmers market is filled with integrity. They carry that vital life force. The Farmer’s Footprint is an expression of what is possible. Every time we eat, we can make a decision to support our farmers. We want food that has been nurtured by healthy soil, by beautiful humans, that give us the life force and the minerals we richly deserve to live an abundant life. We want health, abundance, and a future for our children. We all want the same thing. We are individuals but we are part of a broader collective. I am mindful and conscious of where my attention goes. Here is an invitation to tap into your intuition. Be curious about tuning into that part of ourselves which we have been separated from. It is our key advisors in our decision making. Our awakening is not an individual journey.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

With gentle guidance, Kim invites you to reframe the question from “Who am I without this?” to “What am I becoming?” and offers practical tools like journaling, meditation, and essential oils to reconnect with your heart’s true desires.

Who am I becoming of this? If time and money was no problem, what would I be doing and where would I be? Life is seasonal. Your heart is your compass. Journaling Exercise: Find a quiet space, take a few deep breaths, write freely and just let your heart speak. What did I hope this journey would give me? What have I learned, gained, or become stronger in along the way? Without this role, title, or achievement – who am I at my core? Who am I becoming because of this experience? When do I feel most alive, most joyful, most myself? If no one had expectations of me, what would I choose? What in my life feels heavy and draining? What feels light, expansive, and energising? If my heart could whisper just one truth about what it really wants — what would it say?   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this powerful episode, Kelly Hine opens up about her extraordinary life journey from growing up in a strict religious sect in Perth to becoming a teacher, world traveller, meditation leader, and women’s empowerment coach. Kelly shares with Kim what it was like to live between “two worlds”, her school life and her church community, before marrying young within the church. She reflects on the challenges of motherhood, perfectionism, chronic pain, and divorce, and how these experiences ultimately became catalysts for growth and transformation. Her story unfolds through seasons of teaching, traveling, overcoming family struggles, and discovering meditation, which led her to create retreats and her women’s community, Soul Space. Kelly speaks candidly about surrendering control, embracing imperfection, and redefining self love as an essential practice of authenticity and self forgiveness. This conversation is an inspiring reminder that our hardest struggles often carry the seeds of our deepest growth. About Kelly Kelly Hine is a transformation teacher who specialises in helping motivated women navigate major life transitions by guiding them home to their authentic selves. Despite appearing to have it all – married with two children, a beautiful home, and a respected career as an award-winning educator – Kelly was drowning in anxiety, insomnia, and deep disconnection. Even after making brave external changes, including leaving a dysfunctional marriage, she discovered that lasting peace and fulfillment can only come from within. Through her own profound healing journey – from lying awake thinking “I can’t stand this anymore” to now living by the mantra “I create my life from the inside out” – Kelly found the path from external success to authentic fulfillment. Over the past decade, Kelly has developed her signature Inside-Out Method™ – a unique approach that works at the conscious, subconscious, superconscious, and energetic levels, combining modern neuroscience, evidence-based mindfulness, gentle subconscious reprogramming, spiritual wisdom and energy work. Through her 8+ years running Soul Space – her heart-centered online community and her transformational retreats, Kelly guides women from perfectionism and people-pleasing to living aligned and on purpose. Based in Fremantle, Australia, Kelly’s mission is to help women stop abandoning themselves for approval and start living from their inner wisdom, especially during life’s biggest transitions and crossroads. Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is a verb, a doing thing as much as a feeling. It is a responsibility, not an indulgence. It involves knowing, loving, and being your authentic self unconditionally. It is an ongoing practice. Her favourite quote is: A person sees in the world what they carry in their heart. Our heart is the portal to our soul.

If this speaks to your heart and you’re prepared to show up fully for yourself, book your call at: kellyhine.com/selflove Quotes: I would have never imagined I would be doing what I am doing today from my background and my past history. Responsibility was a big thing for me growing up. Looking back, I can see the trail, how one thing leads to another thing. I love being able to inspire other people. My thoughts and beliefs impacted my emotions. I had traditional beliefs, and I felt stuck! You can make big shifts, but life will not stop presenting challenges. Mediation became the doorway to a whole new life. I dove deep into spiritually and wisdom for myself. There was a cord around my heart pulling me gently to the next step. Beliefs are what form our view of the world, our behaviours. There are the conscious beliefs and the unconscious beliefs. They are just beliefs; they are not the truth. It is because of the struggles that we evolve. Perfection is killing our joy, embrace the imperfections. Stop projecting into the future, be in the here, now, today! Letting go of control as a mother was the most painful and powerful lesson. Surrender changed everything. Letting go! If you don’t love yourself, you can’t be your best to others. Forgiveness means looking back and knowing we did the best we could with the awareness we had. Self acceptance is a practice and an ongoing journey. My focus is guiding women to be back home. Being who we are here to be! The most aligned version of you is already within! You don’t have to change her, just uncover her.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this episode, Kim sits with Luka Kovacevic to explore his remarkable journey from a war-torn childhood in Croatia to building a life of freedom, family, and business success in Australia. Luka shares vivid memories of the Balkan War, his family’s migration, and the contrast of discovering freedom as a child in Australia. He talks about the challenges of learning new languages, the twists in his career path from aspiring pilot to engineer and eventually starting his own consultancy. Health and self care play a central role in Luka’s story. He and his wife Melissa prioritise natural living, research driven choices, and raising their family with strong values. Together, they’ve grown Melissa’s seed cycling business into a thriving enterprise, expanded with Secret Spice Co., and continue to focus on authenticity and community impact. This heartfelt conversation weaves together stories of war, resilience, family, business, and self-mastery. Reminding us of the freedoms we often take for granted and the power of living with intention. About Luca Luka Kovacevic is someone who’s never been afraid of a challenge. Born in Croatia and raised in Australia after migrating with his family in 1995, Luka grew up with the classic “suitcase and nothing else” story. That experience shaped his work ethic and drive to build something meaningful from the ground up. He started his career in engineering, working his way through local government before launching his own consultancy, which today is one of Canberra’s most respected firms. But Luka’s curiosity and love of business didn’t stop there. Together with his wife Melissa, he co runs The Seed Cycle, a business dedicated to helping women balance hormones naturally. And most recently, he’s taken full control of Secret Spice Co., an organic spice company designed to make healthy meals taste amazing. At his heart, Luka is a family man, sports lover, and believer in clean, healthy living. He thrives on building businesses that align with his lifestyle with quick decisions, smart risks, and creating products he’s genuinely proud to share. His story is proof that no matter where you start, you can turn resilience into opportunity and build a life you love. His definition of Self Love is: Health is Wealth Self Love is making sure I take care of myself as best as possible knowing that if I do that everyone else around me will be taken care of to a much better standard His favourite quote is from: Michael Jordan- I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

If I don’t do this no one is going to do it for me. My need and determination to have a friend drove the need to learn. The experience I didn’t know I was getting at the time has set me up for greater opportunities. There is no way you can be a good manager or coworker if you don’t know how things work in the field. No choice attitude, you sign up, you commit. It’s not all about work and money. I make a health a priority. If you don’t look after your health, you can’t run a successful business. Our intuition is what we follow first. My health approach is to look at nutrition, exercise, supplements, the natural way first. Food is medicine. Our business primary focus is based on helping people as well as being profitable. It is important I do something for myself everyday. Everyone is fighting a battle we don’t know about. Make the best of what you can from today.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this inspiring episode, Kim chats with Courtney Dow, a mother of three from the Sunshine Coast, who shares her journey from corporate life to building a thriving essential oils business through network marketing. Courtney opens up about the challenges of self-doubt, the misconceptions around MLM, and how she found freedom, confidence, and community in an industry often misunderstood. Together, Kim and Courtney explore the structure and benefits of direct selling, its flexibility for mothers, and the importance of leading with genuine product love. They also highlight the therapeutic power of essential oils, from simple daily rituals to creating lasting emotional anchors for children and families. This conversation is a beautiful reminder of the possibilities that open up when women choose authenticity, self-love, and entrepreneurship. Courtney’s advice? “Make decisions based on what makes you truly happy and brings you joy.” About Courtney: Courtney Dow is a mum of three, entrepreneur, and proud advocate for the Network Marketing industry. As a healthy home educator and Content Creator, she inspires modern mums to embrace natural wellness – especially through the power of essential oils – while building her business that fits around family life. With a background in wellness and a passion for helping women rise, Courtney shares real, relatable stories alongside evidence-based education, showing that business and motherhood don’t have to be separate dreams, but can thrive together. Her definition of Self Love is: It is coming to a place where you are so comfortable with who you are. When you don’t need a mask or pretend to be someone else. It is knowing I am enough and showing up as my true self. Her favourite quote is: ‘Make decisions based on what makes you truly happy and brings you joy.’ ~ Courtney Dow Links to follow: IG: @itscourtneydow TT: @itscourtneydow W: www.theconsciouscoven.com Quotes: There is a risk to keep doing what feels safe but it doesn’t fulfil you. Things might look easy but nothing has been easy. I now have so much more choice and flexibility. There has been more acceptance due to a rise of influencers using affiliate marketing. You need to be authentic and a genuine love of the products. If it aligns with you and your message and the way you live your life go for it. This is a different structure that supports and mentors you. Some might see it as a cult like experience but that is because they don’t understand. This has helped me to be a business woman and prioritise motherhood. You are celebrated and elevated and valued. Career or Motherhood – you can actually have both. The risk is small with no overheads. There is a huge emphasis on personal and professional development to set you up for success. I love this industry there is so much heart and integrity and passion. There is no us versus them – there is space for everybody. They are not just nice smelly things, they are powerful tools. Make decisions based on what makes you truly happy and brings you joy.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this Self Love Quicky, we explore grief as a non-linear, wave-like process that is deeply connected to our brain’s wiring for attachment. We look at how grief can feel physically painful, describing it as “love with nowhere to go,” yet also holding the potential for profound transformation. There are practical strategies for navigating grief, including creating meaningful rituals, moving the body, connecting with nature, and using essential oils such as frankincense, lavender, cypress, and rose to support emotional healing. And this week’s Quicky reminds us that grief is not about “getting over” loss but about integrating love and lessons into who we are becoming. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com. Don’t forget to use your Self Love Podcast special code below.

Grief comes in waves. The human brain is wired for attachment. Connections give us safety, love, and belonging. Grief is also love. There is no right or wrong way to grieve. Let your heart lead the way. Loss can make us want to curl up and collapse inward, but movement helps regulate the nervous system. Essential oils can be profound companions during times of grief. Let the waves come, let the rituals hold you, let nature and oils comfort you. Grief is not about “getting over it.” It’s about finding new ways to carry love forward.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

‘I see the gratitude and I see the light and I see Lauren every day in our beautiful Lucinda. And as much as it is sad, and it’s hard, and it hurts, there’s great days and there’s terrible days, I am still very grateful for the time I had with Lauren and the connection I had, still have with her through Lucinda and through this energy that I’m still learning about, this unknown that’s there and the words she said to me, the knowledge she’s imparted to me, the Zenko Yoga Studios that she’s entrusted with me… every day I am reminded of Lauren, I’m reminded of the way she lived her life, you know the best possible way she could live her life, every single day.’ ~ Ryan Gaylard In this deeply moving conversation, Ryan Gaylard shares his journey through immense personal loss, military service, and the challenges of navigating life after trauma. From his years in the Australian Defence Force and the struggles of post-traumatic stress, to the heartbreaking loss of his wife Lauren after childbirth, Ryan opens up about the resilience, healing, and transformation that followed. With honesty and vulnerability, he discusses his story, the importance of self-love, and how yoga and meditation became lifelines for his recovery. Ryan also reflects on Lauren’s legacy as a yoga teacher, his commitment to carrying her vision forward, and the power of community in times of grief and growth. This episode is an inspiring reminder of how love, healing, and connection can guide us through life’s most difficult chapters while igniting a greater purpose. His definition of Self Love is: It is so important, countless times Lauren would often talk about the need to look after yourself and put yourself first and foremost. Yoga is the greatest way to help people, and the best hand you can give anyone is the one at the end of their arm. It’s great to help others but the best gift is to help oneself. Be the change, take care of yourself, look after yourself and honour oneself. His favourite quote is from Lauren herself: Trust in the Universe. Trust in a higher plan. We are all exactly where we are meant to be. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Everything happens for a reason. Just trust. Trust in Yoga.

All farmers in this country do it tough and remind me of the power of resilience. I never wanted to be someone who was affected by PTSD, I did not want something ‘wrong’ with me. I couldn’t get enough of yoga, it was incredible, it was euphoric and I needed more. When we’re green, we grow, when we’re ripe we rot. I’ve always been a big kid, love hanging out with kids. She could tell you a hard truth but do it in a loving way. Whatever you do ask questions of self, be curious. We married on 20-02-2022 as the numbers aligned for us. Then came the most unfathomable moment of my life. Their words were so spot on – it is the happiest and saddest day of our life. Lauren had a mission to bring yoga to as many people in the world. I see the gratitude and the light every day in Lucinda. I aspire to live my very best life. Simone was instrumental in getting donated breast milk every day for 18 months. Very grateful for the Zenko tribe who have support me The decision had to be made and I just have to get on and not lie down. Love is the word that encompasses the need to keep going. The Universe has a path and plan for everyone. We are more capable than we give ourselves credit for. There’s perfection in every imperfection. Be the change you want to be. Lauren is the most genuine person I know. Live in the moment, let it go, and just show up. Movement is meditation. The yoga session you miss is the one you’re going to regret. Show up on the mat but also show up off the mat. Nothing is good nor bad but thinking maketh so. Once we can truly love ourselves then we can spread that love.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this episode, we explore what it really means to commit to yourself – not just in the easy moments, but in the deep, intentional work that transforms how you see yourself, how you show up, and how you create your life. This is about curiosity, self-awareness, and courage. It’s about uncovering the beliefs and patterns that shape us, and learning how to release what no longer serves. If you’re ready to step into clarity, confidence, and purpose – this is where it begins. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

‘I believe life is one thing. It’s not professional life and personal life – it’s one thing. It’s got a very clear starting point and an incredibly clear ending point as well and everything in between is just life. I do very much look at the whole person. And I love the fact I am going to die. Because it makes me live.’ ~ Mick Todd In this powerful and inspiring episode, Kim connects with global leadership coach Mick Todd, founder of 2B Limitless.

Who is Mick Todd: Mick Todd is the Founder and Chairman of 2b Limitless, a global coaching and leadership development firm he launched in 2003. Today, the organization operates across more than 35 countries and was recently named the Professional Services Coaching and Training Organisation of the Year, 2025. With over 25,000 hours of coaching experience in more than 30 countries, Mick was also honoured as Professional Services and Executive Coach of the Year, 2025. Mick’s journey began in Australia, where his background in education and aspirations as a professional rugby coach laid the groundwork for his future in leadership development. While pursuing studies in psychology and organizational behaviour at CQUniversity, Mick was deeply influenced by the strengths-based philosophy of Donald O. Clifton, creator of the Gallup StrengthsFinder. The question “What will happen when we focus on what is right with people rather than fixating on what is wrong with them?” became a core belief that would shape his entire coaching approach. After relocating to Dubai, Mick built 2b Limitless from the ground up, navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship and cross-cultural leadership. His vision was clear: to empower individuals and organizations to unlock their full potential through a strengths-driven methodology. Over the years, his coaching expanded from individual leaders and teams to global enterprises and senior executives. Mick holds academic qualifications in education, psychology, and organizational behaviour, and is a certified coach with credentials from the NLP MindBridge Institute in North Carolina. He has also collaborated with Dr. Bill Joiner of MIT on Leadership Agility and is certified in several psychometric and strengths-based tools. Mick’s coaching is anchored in cultivating “rituals of great leadership” and inspiring meaningful, strengths-based change. Now working alongside CEO Peter Turner, Mick continues to lead 2b Limitless in its mission to deliver transformative coaching experiences worldwide — driven by their powerful guiding belief: “Because YOUR world needs YOU at YOUR best.” His definition of Self Love is: It’s my courageous, compassionate commitment to deeply know honour and express who I truly am. It’s my strengths, my values and my purpose. His favourite quote is from Socrates: ‘Wisdom starts with wonder.’ Links to follow and connect with Mick Todd: Website: https://www.2blimitless.com/ Email: mick@tobelimitless.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/2blimitless/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/2b-limitless/ Attend the To Be Limitless Global Conference – Dubai, October Quotes: Because your world needs you at your best. Strength based organisation to get the best out of people. Get busy living. Failure is no longer an option. It’s fantastic – not unbelievable. What people say at the beginning ends up so much more at the end, I love that. I guess – why are you guessing or hoping? Voltare says; The world will punish you when you’re vague and over reward you when specific. Optimism is action, positivity is a thought. Whatever the ill community is the answer. Your purpose has to be intentional. Today is not a practice run. I am so intentional with my words. Go away and do the rituals and then watch what happens. I typically wear my underpants under my trousers not over them. I am here to celebrate your achievement that belongs to you. If you are judgemental fearful or frustrated – or curious, courageous and excited change will happen either way. I have to go out and make life HAPPEN to be not wait for life to happen. Most of the best things that happened to me weren’t the best on the outside. Change the way you think about what you do. Ask someone… what’s the best version of me for you? Build on a foundation of strengths. Do you have rituals that anchor? Do you have meetings that matter? Have you built the space to create? Do you know a great model for a great life? The thing about self-belief is having a plan. At the end of life what matters most are – relationships, contribution and realising it’s not the risks I took – it’s the ones I didn’t? Risk always has a plan recklessness doesn’t? Life is not about what happens to you it’s the way you respond. How do you manage the squeeze because what get’s squeezed comes out. From entitlement to gratitude and sarcasm to humour. Life is not a transaction, it’s beautiful and it’s uncertain. The bi-standers are always the fulcrum. I am here to serve. The meaning of life is to give. Connection creates commitment. The people who make the biggest difference in the world put connection over everything else. Go out there and be the person you were meant to be. A strength is not how strong you are it’s saying I feel strong when… The investment that pays the biggest return is investing in yourself.

In this week’s Quicky we’re diving into something pretty powerful – Tony Robbins’ 6 Human Needs – and how understanding them can radically transform your relationship with self-love. Tony teaches that we’re all driven by six basic human needs. These aren’t just wants – they’re needs, wired into our psychology. And the way we meet them – positively or negatively – shapes our happiness, health, and yes… our capacity for self-love. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com.

Variety – The need for change, surprise, and new experiences. Significance – The need to feel important, unique, and worthy. Love and Connection – The need to feel close to others and to yourself. Growth – The need to develop, expand, evolve. Contribution – The need to give beyond yourself. Remember, the most important relationship you’ll ever have… is the one with yourself.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

‘Life can give us these horrible bolder moments that make decisions that we are sort of forced into change. Or we can say, hey I am going to create some change myself, some positive change and shake things up. So that, Universe or Light whatever you want to call it doesn’t do it for us. And there are Japanese concepts that I love and it’s called Kensho and Satori. And so, for those listening who have not heard of it which I heard many many years ago and it’s stuck with me. Kensho is growth through pain, growth through those rock bottom moments that force us to change. And Satori is growth through inspiration. And it’s much more enjoyable, it can be somewhat slower growth journey but it’s obviously a chosen pathway and much more enjoyable.’ ~ Maritza Barone In this inspiring episode, Kim is joined by the incredible Maritza Barone – former TV presenter, podcast host, and voice coach – who shares her journey from Melbourne to Fiji and the Sunshine Coast in search of deeper purpose and self-discovery. Together they explore the power of storytelling, the growth of podcasting, and how personal challenges can spark transformation. Maritza opens up about her family’s move during COVID, the lessons learned, and how self-love, mindfulness, and authentic confidence became the foundation of her work. They also dive into the generational impact on youth, the importance of mentorship, and creating space for powerful, purpose-led voices. An uplifting conversation you wont want to miss about change, connection, and living with intention. Maritza Barone has had an illustrious career in the mainstream media world as a TV presenter, radio host, and producer — gracing red carpets, MC’ing & hosting major sporting events and film premieres, and interviewing celebrities across Australia. But behind the polished media presence was a deeper personal journey — one of learning to break free from self-doubt, build authentic confidence, and step into her true voice. Maritza knows what it feels like to question your worth, to dim your light, and to wonder if you’re really “good enough.” And that’s exactly why she’s made it her mission to help others move past those same doubts. Seeking greater purpose and meaning behind her work, Maritza created her own platforms to inspire and empower. She launched the Things You Can’t Un-Hear podcast — now a top-ranked show in self-development and wellbeing — to share transformative conversations that awaken confidence, expand perspective, and spark personal growth. Through her purpose-led Guide Your Light Network, Maritza helps emerging and established voices bring their message to the world through powerful, purpose-driven podcasts. As a speaker, coach, and mentor, she supports people in finding the courage to be seen and heard, and in developing the confidence to express themselves with impact. Maritza’s work is rooted in the belief that everyone has a story worth sharing — and that real confidence comes not from perfection, but from owning who you are and showing up anyway. Her definition of Self Love is: I’m a tea lover. Having a cup of tea is one of the biggest self-love actions. I do it whilst I am drinking and moving around the house for half an hour is pure bliss, a non-negotiable me moment. It allows my thoughts in my head to catchup. It’s a switch off, a cup of tea in silence. Let it all catch up. Write it down and get it out of your head. Her favourite quotes are: If they say it’s impossible they mean it’s for them, not for you. Be a creator in your life, you can create the life that you want to live.

Life’s short, take risks, be a little crazy. Kensho is growth through pain and Satori is growth through inspiration. Our biggest learning is we know we can do it. There are both sides there in Fiji. The mountain calmed my nervous system right down. It is an awakening of sorts where you start to question a lot of things. The term personal development kind of annoys me now. There comes a point where you have learnt a lot and it’s time to meet yourself in the middle of who you were beforehand. When we are always going into the healing we can forget to have fun. Those bathroom floor moments lead us to the healing. Once you hear it or see it you cannot unhear it or unsee it. It’s called the Guide Your Light network. I call it sharing my voice and that gives us freedom. If it’s in you to speak up then this is a pathway to share your voice. There can be cycles over generations and it’s up to you to not follow that same path. You can be the one to create change. Work out what you enjoy doing to know what to do next. Don’t take everything surface value, trust your gut and know what’s right and wrong for you. Question everything. Spend time with yourself so you know who you are. We are not meant to consume we are meant to create. That inner knowing is my greatest mentor. Let it all catch up. Write it down and get it out of your head. If they say it’s impossible they mean it’s for them, not for you. Be a creator in your life, you can create the life that you want to live.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

Today’s Quicky is a gentle, powerful reflection on change – the kind we fight, the kind we learn to accept, and the kind we bravely choose to create. Whether you’re in the midst of a life shift or simply feeling the undercurrent of something new, this conversation is here to hold you. We explore the science of how change affects the brain and body, the emotional rollercoaster that can come with it, and the sacred self-care tools you can lean into when the ground feels shaky. So, take a breath, drop your shoulders, and let’s dive into the art of enduring, accepting, and creating change – with heart, with grace, and with a whole lot of self-love. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com. Don’t forget to use your Self Love Podcast special code below. Links to follow: Website: https://twenty8.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials Quotes: You can either endure change, accept it, or create it. To endure change is often our first instinct. We brace. We hold on. Acceptance isn’t giving up – it’s letting go of the fight. Creating change takes courage. Our brains are actually wired to resist change. And the brain doesn’t like unfamiliar. Too much change, too fast, can overwhelm the nervous system. Anchor into daily rituals. Focus on what you can influence. Name your feelings. Trust in seasons. Be kind to yourself. Change is not the enemy—it’s often the very catalyst for the healing, growth, or breakthrough your soul has been craving.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

‘I mean it’s awful to have to go through them, but if I hadn’t gone through any of them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So, as painful as it is, you can’t have light without the dark, a rainbow without the rain, you just know you the more you avoid the dichotomies the more it’s going to be drawn to you, so I really am grateful for it. But the way I got through it was probably just having such a reassurance in myself and backing myself, that you know, eventually I would get a yes, whether it was in my career in dancing or business career, it’s going to put me where I am meant to be. So just backing myself, believing in myself and having a bit of trust in the Universe that it’s already mapped out is probably what got me through.’ ~ Tayla Morrison Welcome to this very special 500th episode of the Self Love Podcast. I can hardly believe we’ve reached this incredible milestone, and I truly couldn’t think of a more meaningful way to celebrate it than with someone who holds my heart – my daughter, Tayla Morrison. Tayla’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and reinvention. From her early days dancing on stage to navigating the highs and lows of life, to now stepping into her power as a leader in the wellness space, she embodies what it means to rise, to evolve, and to trust deeply in yourself and the Universe. In today’s episode, we dive into the challenges she’s faced, the courage it took to pivot, and the beautiful way she now channels her purpose through movement, mindset, and heart. She shares her philosophy on self-love, what it really means to back yourself, and how she’s found light through the dark. This is more than just a mother-daughter conversation – it’s a celebration of growth, legacy, and love. I’m so proud of the woman Tayla is and beyond honoured to share this milestone moment with her and with you. From dancing on stage to directing a thriving wellness brand, Tayla Morrison’s journey has been anything but ordinary. Starting dance at the age of five, Tayla trained professionally with the Queensland National Ballet and went on to live out her dream performing cabaret across Europe—including a once-in-a-lifetime role with a circus in Germany. After dedicating nearly two decades to her career as a dancer, a spinal fracture and the global pause of COVID brought significant challenges—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. This time became a catalyst for reinvention. Tayla’s resilience and curiosity led her to expand her skills, earning an Advanced Diploma in Dance, Cert III & IV in Fitness and Personal Training, Cert IV in Mat and Reformer Pilates, a Masters in Neuro Linguistic Programming, and a Diploma of Counselling. Her journey through movement, mindset, and healing paved the way to a rewarding career in fitness and wellbeing. She became a passionate Personal Trainer and Pilates teacher, eventually stepping into the role of Programs and Performance Manager at Project Reform, where she continues to lead with heart and vision. Today, Tayla brings her depth of experience, fierce drive, and creative flair to Twenty8 Essentials as Managing Director. Having watched her mum, Kim Morrison, build this incredible company from the ground up, Tayla always had a quiet knowing she’d one day be part of its story. Now, that vision has come to life. Working side by side with her mum, she’s proud to carry forward the legacy—infusing Twenty8 with fresh energy, bold ideas, and a deep respect for its roots. Her definition of Self Love is: Self-respect. If you know your worth ultimately you love yourself. Her favourite quote is: If you bet on yourself you can never lose. Links to follow: Website: www.twenty8.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylamadecoaching/?hl=en Quotes: I am a go-getting confident woman who loves giving it her all. Covid taught me to live in the moment good and bad. I am such a doer, so I need to fill my time and not waste my time. I was always confident and knew what I wanted at high school. I had someone like you in my corner helping me to feel confident no matter what. Have the space to get it mapped out – just DO something. It’s freeing to rebuild yourself over and over it’s an opportunity to remodel. If you are going to do some thing do it well. Commit to it. Do something every day to improve yourself by 1%. Body image around dancing has changed a lot but there is a lot of traditional ways too. Dance is a beautiful way express yourself. A lot of no’s bring you closer to the next yes. As painful as it is you cannot have light without the dark. You can’t have light without the dark, a rainbow without the rain. Trust in the Universe that it’s already mapped out – is probably what got me through. It was awful but at the same time it was insane. It made me rise above and keep putting myself out there. It was surreal but I was living what I had manifested. I loved that it was so in honour of the female body, it was seen as an art form. I was in such rejection and denial I stayed in bed for 3 months! Life isn’t going back to what it was before, so I had to slap on a smile. I was scared shitless to take a leap of faith. The pros are it’s all in my control the cons are it’s all in my control. You are in a bubble being a dancer. It made me want to question everything. Eventually you will come out the other side and take the learnings onboard. Having people support you is a game changer. To love and be loved is what I have learned. It’s a true blessing to be on this journey with you. I have been inundated with Twenty8 for 16 years and have been added feathers in my cap to make this business feel sexy. It is more than skincare and oils there is so much in behind the ethos. Everyone has played an important role in my life. Being close with family is a state of mind. When my dad is home he is fully present and always there. Our family’s cup is so full and we fill each others cup. I love my brother and so love and appreciate our relationship. You do you, I don’t care and I will do me! I am very much about living in the now. Do as much research as you can and control the controllables. If you bet on yourself you can never lose.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

In this week’s Quicky we explore the powerful connection between smell and emotions, and how smell bypasses the thinking brain to influence the limbic system and affect memory and attraction. Our sense of smell can be dulled by pollution and synthetic fragrances, but we can do exercises like using essential oils to reset and retrain our sense of smell. We explore the power of the daily aromatic body boost ritual using essential oils and how we can create new rituals and habits by intentionally using scents through a variety of methods. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com. Don’t forget to use your Self Love Podcast special code below. Links to follow: Website: https://twenty8.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials Quotes: Smell is often the forgotten sense. It’s our most primal sense, fully developed in the womb by just 8 weeks. The limbic system is the home of memory, emotion, and survival instinct. Scent can take you back 20 years in an instant. Humans can distinguish over 1 trillion different scents, which defies the long-held belief that we could only identify about 10,000 scents. The olfactory nerve is the only cranial nerve directly linked to the limbic brain. Special smells are soul imprints. We can train our sense of smell – just like a muscle. To honour your sense of smell is to honour your soul.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.

‘The N8 Self, again it stands for our higher nature – N8 – it has eight characteristics, But, it has some qualities outside of characteristics and one of those qualities is – it is both individual and universal. So, it’s something I have, but it’s something you have, we all have this aspect of self. That is our being, that is our essence, the energy in our life. And I wanted to be sure that it was tangible, so how do we break it down into characteristics that we can like build on.’ ~ Jules Kuroda In this uplifting episode, Jules Kuroda shares the wisdom behind The N8 Self, a framework designed to reconnect us with the human spirit – the often overlooked but essential aspect of our being. Drawing on her global experiences and deep spiritual insight, Jules explains how the N8 Self is both individual and universal, offering a tangible path to self-awareness and fulfillment. Through the lens of eight core characteristics – Character, Contribution, Connection, Creativity, Gratitude, Generosity, Courage, and Meaning – Jules invites us to rediscover our innate light, reflect on our values, and reframe the way we relate to ourselves and others. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that we are all meaning makers, wired for connection, and capable of great courage and contribution. As you will see in this week’s show, we discover how embracing your true self – light, shadow, and all – can lead to a more purposeful, connected, and joy-filled life. Jules Kuroda’s life passion is helping people get past the ideas they have of themselves to unlock more fulfillment. She hopes to bring more joy and understanding into the world through her book The N8 Self. The N8 Self invites the reader into holistic connection beyond just the mind, body, and heart and into the aspect of self we don’t talk much about, the human spirit. This powerful part of our human experience drives our need for connection and meaning. Without a framework to wrestle with, this part of self often gets left out of how we think about ourselves. The N8 Self offers a tangible way to understand and cultivate more meaning and purpose in our lives. Through eight characteristics, the reader will discover both the individual and universal way we are all wired for connection and meaning. Discover principles that: Give you different tools to shift listlessness and anxiety Identify core values and ways you long to contribute Cultivate gratitude, generosity, and creativity Discover meaning through rethinking connection The N8 Self is for those who are seeking for more meaning and purpose in life, or for those who are looking to understand themselves more fully. To learn more about her book visit: https://then8self.myshopify.com/ Her definition of Self Love is: being, and taking care of the deepest part of you, the hidden parts of you, the secrets, the treasure… and let it shine. Let your light shine. Her favourite quote is from Rumi: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” Links to follow: N8 Book: https://then8self.myshopify.com/ Website: https://www.n8self.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/n8coach Quotes: I have worked with many different cultures which is actually a connective thread. The connective thread of humanity is the essence the spiritual connection. In Japan the only way we could communicate was through experiences! I learned how to not feel alone and for that I am so grateful. It showed me the fortitude and what I was made of and that I can do really hard things. We are so easily distracted its important we notice those distractions and then pause. Are you paying attention to a person you are listening to or are you paying attention to the thoughts you have about them. We don’t often experience full true presence with another and when we do it is so powerful. There is something really powerful in the reframe. It is very easy to get cynical and hardened by the world. I wanted to give language to the innate spiritual part of us. It’s important we recognise the light within us and encourage the light in others. What’s the contribution you want to make? There is connection with self and there is connection with others. Judgement keeps us from being connected to one another. A smile is a small way to connect. Self-sacrifice is embedded in courage. A good wolf and bad wolf lives inside of you – it depends on which one you feed. Life teaches people how to become hard and it is possible to succumb to the dark. Bravery is facing a fear, courage is doing something willingly and important to do. Service is a way of healing a part of those wounds, helping someone else. Creativity is the spice of life. It’s more blessed to give than receive. We all seek meaning and significance. Meaning helps us to become who we are meant to be – we are all meaning makers. We are on a journey of learning. Loneliness is not isolatorary, we are not alone, loneliness is a situation we create. Being the best version of yourself is the best thing we can hope for. Live your one precious life in this way and be grateful for it. The unknown is always the unknown. There are 8 characteristics of the N8 self – Character, Contribution, Connection, Creativity, Gratitude, Generosity, Courage, Meaning.   SELF LOVE PODCAST SPONSOR LINKS THANKYOU FOR LISTENING… If you would like to share your feedback on this podcast please head to my Facebook and Instagram pages below.
