Today on the podcast I had the honour of chatting with the absolutely incredible and inspiring Tami Roos. As you’ll hear in this episode, through a few experiences in Tami’s life, she came to the life-changing realization that the missing link to living a life of fulfillment and well-being is meditation. With meditation being the tool that aligns us with our untapped highest potential. Tami then earned her PHD in Parapsychic Science with her dissertation on meditation, which gave her the scientific knowledge behind meditation and many other practices. I know that a lot of people still see meditation as a bit ‘woo woo’, but Tami has the scientific knowledge to back it. Tami is the acclaimed author of Presence to Power: I AM the Gift, she is also an accomplished keynote speaker, coach, director at Nurture Her Retreats and wears SO many more hats. You’ll quickly hear in this podcast just how grounding and inspiring Tami is. We talk all about meditation and how that practice changed Tami’s life, how it can change your life and how you can start a meditation easily. Tami is something who I just feel so blessed to have spoken with and I guarantee you’ll love hearing from her! Enjoy!

YAY we're back! And this week, with a very special guest - the beautiful, bubbly and super intelligent Sarah Davidson, who you may also know as Spoonful of Sarah. Sarah is a self-proclaimed lawyer turned 'funtrepreneur', who left the corporate world to co-found the incredible Matcha Maiden. Her journey with Matcha Maiden came about after she was banned from coffee after becoming very unwell. From something that started out as a little side hustle, Matcha Maiden has become one of the biggest names in the industry, being stocked worldwide in stores such as Urban Outfitters - and the best part is that the product boasts sooo many amazing health benefits. If one business wasn’t enough, she’s also a co-founder of Melbourne's plant-based cafe Matcha Mylk Bar, has her own blog, Spoonful of Sarah and also her own podcast, Seize the Yay (which is amazing by the way - highly recommend!). And if that doesn't sound like enough, she’s also written a book which will be coming out later this year. Talk about AMAZING. Even with all of these achievements, Sarah remains so humble and down to earth, and is truly grounded in what she does. In this episode we talk a lot about career, about changing paths, about maintaining wellness even when super busy, and having the courage to take the leap to do what you love.

**Reminder that this is my last episode until April 1st when I return from my honeymoon!** After today’s podcast I genuinely feel like there is nothing I can’t do and that’s all thanks to Kim Peirce. If you don’t know who Kim is, she is the founder and director of Babe Australia! Those of you who are RY subscribers would be very familiar with Babe as we have partnered with them many times! And for those of you who don’t know Babe Australia, they make some of the most beautiful Australian made bath, body and home products and sell them globally. They’re seriously DIVINE! Kim’s journey to Babe is one that is so unique. After having worked her way up the corporate ladder, she listened to her gut instinct and took a leap of faith into the world of starting her own business. With the support of her family she proved that no matter where you are in life, or how old you are, whether you’re 20 years old or 40 years old like Kim was, you can achieve your goal when you believe in your abilities.
