Season One Finale!As we wrap up Season One of R&M, our host Daisy Clementine discusses in a solo episode the meditation she desperately needs as we head into Australian summer - the summer body meditation and all things body image and self esteem.Daisy talks about how seeing bad photographs of yourself can impact your self-image and how having cute petite friends can make you feel like a giant and shift the reality of what you actually look like. Body image is a never ending rollercoaster and whilst there are positive, inclusive shifts being made within the media and fashion industries - there is a long way to go until we don't feel like there is one 'perfect' body to be 'achieved'.We'll be back in early 2022 with Season 2 for more relatable conversations and niche meditations!**Please note if you are affected by an ED or triggered by this topic, please skip this episode and seek professional support.---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could  SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU THINK NEEDS THIS! It will take max like 2 minutes and makes a huge difference.

This weeks episode is a little bit different - it's our second to last ep in Series 1 and I chat to Laura Tilley, one of our resident meditation leads, all about her journey with meditation and how the process of creating Relate and Meditate has been for us both.Whether you've meditated with us through the episodes or not, we hope this conversation (and this series!) makes you feel seen in all your relatable spirals.Laura's business The Half Between - she is running a course in November which I'm signing up for if anyone wants to walk with me into the big 'scary' next step of finding a meditation practise.---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Laura Tilley on IG - @thehalfbetween

Today’s episode is with prolific journalist who often uses her internet as a diary - Melissa Mason and is all about relationship anxiety  (kind of the extension and more ‘grown up’ way to talk about the ick). It’s something we have both been riddled with for years - even though i didn’t know it until very recently. Have you ever seen a couple on instagram and been like wow that’s goals why aren’t we like that? Or find yourself in a panic wondering if you’re with the person you’ll actually end up with?Thought of moving in together making you freak the F out?Ever seen the film the runaway bride and been like - yeah, i get it?Then this episode is for you.—Please note that if you’re in an abusive relationship, this isn’t one for you and we’re included some links in the show notes for some places you can go for support:White Ribbonhttps://www.whiteribbon.org.au/Find-Help/Help-Lineshttps://www.1800respect.org.au/daisy1800RESPECT1800 737 732--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Melissa Mason on IG - @melissamasonFollow Laura Tilley on IG - @thehalfbetweenIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could  SHARE WITH SOMEONE YOU THINK NEEDS THIS! It will take max like 2 minutes and makes a huge difference.

This weeks episode is what we've all needed at some time in our times - a spirit guide for going to Ikea. We spoke to Miranda Lorikeet after she'd just moved house and discussed her Ikea game plans, how impulsively putting together furniture and we settle the question about what the best snack is for your little reward at the end.This is literally the most niche meditation we've ever made - and it's not even #spon. Ikea, if you want to send us some cinnamon scrolls, we'll be waiting.--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Miranda Lorikeet on IG - @mirandalorikeetFollow Rachel Crethar on IG - @rachelcretharIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

Wondering if recycling is really even worth it?Feeling powerless as we watch billionaires take off into space and we're trying to keep our carbon footprint down with a fkin keep cup?Feel those 'um, is the world ending?' vibes on the regs?This weeks conversation is with Tanzy Owen, a sustainability consultant with years of experience making film and TV sets more sustainable who has just launched her own buisiness - The Good Ways. Tanzy’s mission is to make sustainble business just ‘business’. We spoke all about climate anxiety which, after the earthquake today in Melbourne, I feel like what’s happening with the Earth is at the forefront of our minds right now. This conversation is for everyone - from full on eco warriors to people maybe more like myself who are still very much learning and working towards a more eco conscious lifestyle.RESOURCES:The Goodways - Tanzy's sustainability consultancy business Good On You - Ethical brand ratings - search before your next purchase decisionMarket Forces - Information on where you're keeping your money and how you can make this more ethicalFuture Super - Ethical Super Fund This Wild and Precious Life by Sarah Wilson - will make you quit single use cups 4evaSimply Cups - Found at every 7/11, you can recycle your coffee cups here (in case Sarah's book didn't make you quit 4eva - we all make mistakes!)Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams - Tanzy's Earth-humbling fave--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Tanzy Owen on IG - @tanzyowenFollow The Goodways on IG - @thegoodwaysFollow Kaylene Langford (this week's meditation lead) on IG - @startupcreativeIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

This weeks episode is with Michelle Banares - my absolute style icon, the coolest Reel maker and DEFINITELY not a regular mum. Mish has 2 crazy haired 2 year old called Zev and this week we spoke all about her anxieties as a new mum - particularly when it came to heading out into the world and tackling public transport with a pram and unpredictable tantrums. Mich and I have never actually spoken about her role as a mother so I loved this chat and all the real moments that came out of it - even if you’re not a mum, which I’m not, I know you’ll love this one.- Have you ever tackled a pram solo in public?- Does the thought of being pregnant terrify you- Are you constantly like WTF am i doing and who is this child that lives in my house?We got you.--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Michelle Banares on IG - @michellebanaresIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

This episode is a special one - it’s extremely light and there’s a lot of laughter because honestly at the moment, we feel like we need some lols to break up the heaviness of the news and the amount of hectic stuff happening in the world right now.  This ep is with Relate & Meditate’s number one fan - Daisy's mum and is all about a very first world problem - the stress of throwing a party. Are people going to show up?Have I got enough food?What if people hate the seating arrangements?Is the playlist perfect?Theres a lot to be thinking about!---Our host Daisy is also taking part in a free online event tomorrow 9th September hosted by Rachel Crethar who you may recognise as one of our meditation leads - its for R U OK day and will be a safe space to come, have a chat and connect with us and each other in an effort to provide some connection during these weird lockdown times in Australia.

This weeks episode we spoke to Victoria Houllis aka Mannequin Hands - a nail artist currently killing it with her Press Ons and Nail Stickers whilst we’re in lockdown and usually working crazy hours with clients when we’re not. Her designs are seriously amazing - she’s given me the funnest nails of my life on multiple occasions now and seriously, it is wild how much having cute nails can change your mood.We spoke about all things work and boundaries. The chat covers a lot but the meditations niches down to help you get clear on which work opportunities you want to be saying yes to - it’s so easy to see an email and get excited and agree to doing everything for free for exposure or because its a cool brand - this meditation will help you step into your worth and value yourself first before  going above and beyond for everyone else.--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Victoria Houllis on IG - @mannequinhandsIf you love this episode, i’d so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

In this weeks episode, I spoke to Evie from  Mum Pack Travel - a travel blogger and solo parent that has had her incredible lifestyle she lives on the road brought to a stand still by Covid.  Evie has travelled all over the world with her daughter for the past few years, writing a book, From Backyard to Backpack, about it along the way.  A quick google and you'll find pages and pages about all the adventures she's been on and all the articles she's written about how she did it along the way.Like so many people, Evie has been struggling with the realities of boarder closures and dealing with the abrupt change to her usual way of life. We speak about everything from how she designed her own unique way of doing life with her daughter Emmie to the mental struggles she’s been facing due to the current limitations on our freedom. Whilst we both whole heartedly agree that Australia is beautiful and we are in such a fortunate position, this doesn’t take away from some of those down days where we long to jump on a plane and have a change of scene. --Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Evie Farrell on IG - @mumpacktravelIf you love this episode, we would so appreciate if you could leave a quick rating and review on Apple podcasts so we can reach more people.

We are back from our mid season break and this weeks episode is all about self confidence with photographer and visual artist Martina Martian.  Is confidence something you're born with or something learned? How does your confidence affect your day to day life and the decisions you make? Have you ever not something because you didn't feel confident enough? If all these questions are hitting home for you - this is your episode.Martina is definitely one of the most fabulous people I know -and one of the most confident - but as it turns out even the most confident people feel a little rattled every now and then. We spoke about how confidence affects basically every area of our lives - from work to friendships - and the key things that have helped us both grow our confidenceWe hope you enjoy the episode.

Ever seen an Instagram post of your ex with 'the new you'? Lol fucking sucks, huh? We've made a meditation for that. In the case of this meditation we recorded it from our own personal need of it being ‘a new girlfriend’ but i’d love to hear if anyone listening would like us to create a meditation from another perspective - new boyfriend, new partner - we want to be inclusive and will create another version if there’s the demand so please let us know.I can remember the exact moment I found out about my ex’s new girlfriend - from the first initial inkling of it and then the dreaded official instagram post which landed right on Christmas eve. I was honestly hysterical and it felt like i had to go through the whole break-up again a second time - i feel like a lot of people still kind of hold on to that feeling in the back of your mind that you might get back together one day and the announcement of a new partner feels like a door slamming shut in your face. It can be so tempting to compare yourself to their new partner but with this meditation  we want people to feel comforted, empowered and on their way to healing. We're the break-up coach you need right now to get through this fkin nightmare of heartache.--Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow  Laura Tilley on IG - @lauraatilley / @thehalfbetweenPlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

We're on a two week mid-season break as we catch up on recording! We'd love to hear form everyone listening on what kind of topics you’d like us to cover and what niche meditations you would like us to create for you. The more specific the better! If you could leave your meditation request as a review in Apple Podcasts, we pinky promise that we will create it.This week's meditation written and read by Tasmania based meditation teacher Laura Tilley is all about phone addiction - which I genuinely feel is the biggest addiction I’ve ever had to kick - much bigger than cigarettes or sugar. Full transparency, my current screen time is between 4 and 6 hours a day which is insane to me - and something I feel really shameful about if I’m honest. We know so many people will relate to this and I hope this meditation helps you to refocus your energy and cut down that screen time.Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow  Laura Tilley on IG - @lauraatilley / @thehalfbetweenPlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

Today's episode is a conversation with the incredible Amie McNee - author, book doula and creativity coach. We talk all about feeling uninspired - all the tried and tested ways to get out of productivity slumps and the ebbs and flows of creativity. We’re currently in lockdown again in Sydney which is definitely not the most inspiring place to be but we feel like these periods of feeling uninspired can appear out of nowhere regardless of external circumstances. Amie is one of our favourite people to follow on social media - her account is one of our go-to sources for inspiration and encouragement when we're feeling a bit stagnant so we hope you enjoy our conversation and get something out of it that sparks your inspiration into action again.This episode is also a little different this week because Amie had recorded her own meditation to help with feeling uninspired - it just made sense as her role as a creativity coach and we feel like this is one of our most magical meditations yet. ---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Amie McNee on IG - @inpiredtowritePlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

In this episode, we spoke to event stylist and content creator Nina Sky all about her pre-date anxiety, first date lol stories and her tactics to battle the nerves. This conversation is full of laughing, ridiculous stories and extremely relatable thoughts on how everyone feels before a date.

In this episode, we spoke to Mark Conlan - an absolutely incredible illustrator based in Melbourne - all about the pressures to maintain a social presence and stay consistent with posting. With ever changing algorithms and trends, this topic is one we're sure will hit home mainly for people using their socials as their online resume (but sometimes even personal SM use can be stressful too!).---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Rachel Crethar on IG - @rachelcretharFollow Mark Conlan on IG - @markconlanPlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

This episode we spoke to Georgia Somary - bass player in Nasty Cherry and founder of No Good resin. Georgia is a friend from back when we were teenagers and she has literally has had the most hobbies and side projects out of anyone I know - she has a license to fly a plane, knows how to make swords and was very into taxidermy for a second there. We spoke about that moment when something really small and annoying - like someone talking loudly on their phone near you - just ruins your day and kills your vibe. In an effort to create a meditation that means your day isn’t a total right off and to act as a quick reset.Disclaimer: this episode is chaotic, unprofessional and basically brain chewing gum.

A second episode drop this week! We thought we'd start releasing mini episodes when the time suits to cover some hyper-specific, niche issues that we personally would love a meditation for. This week, in lockdown, it only seemed fitting to create one that calms the chaos and invites in gratitude for our homes and what we do have whilst under restrictions.Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow  Laura Tilley on IG - @lauraatilley / @thehalfbetweenPlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

In this episode, we spoke to tech entrepreneur and professional hand model Jess Ruhfus - founder of collaboration app Collabosaurus - about the touchy, private topic of money. We spoke about her own relationship with money, the social pressure of committing to a set menu and covered pretty much all of our key money memories.I wanted to put this episode out this week as I feel like money conversations amongst my friends and partner recently have just been cracked open, it’s been being talked about a lot as we all struggle through freelance life through another lockdown here in Sydney. It’s been funny to listen back to this episode as it was recorded right at the start of the year and l’ve spent the past few months doing a lot of work and education around money mindset over the past few months and identify what my relationship with it is. For Jess, it was a resistance to pay herself what she deserves as a CEO and for me it’s this fear that the money I have is going to be taken away from me. I do also want to acknowledge that although Jess and I both speak from such privileged positions which we’re so grateful to be in - I hope that the meditation we have crafted feels relatable and relevant to everyone listening.If the struggle is fkin' REAL for you at the moment - have a listen and let's raise those positive money vibes together.Resources that have helped me exponentially this year with money mindset are:Natalia Benson @nataliabenson + her Magical Money Manifestation Workshops/general IG contributions to the worldThink and Grow Rich by Napoleon HillOvercoming Underearning by Barbara Stanny (looks very old school but is very, very good)How to Start a Side Hustle by Kaylene Langford ---Follow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Rachel Crethar on IG - @rachelcretharFollow Jess Ruhfus on IG - @jessruhfus / @collabosaurusPlease share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

In this episode, we spoke to Cam Walker aka Struthless - an illustrator, cartoonist, animator and I would say mental health pioneer. His YouTube channel has been a source of comfort for me more times than one and i know how many other people he would have helped with his blunt honesty and dark humour too. This episode is all about sobriety, drunk war stories and the ways drinking can sometimes make us feel about ourselves. We recorded this episode a while back whilst I wasn’t drinking and I’m now recording this intro a week after probably my drunkest night of 2021 which has thrown me into an all-too-familiar mental health spin. I’ve had a love hate relationship with alcohol and despite last weeks’ overindulgence, i’ve managed to get a pretty decent handle now on knowing my limits. It only took me about 10 years, numerous blackouts, one devastating break-up and countless sundays of self loathing but hey progress is progress.Full disclosure and potentially a trigger warning, this episode does delve into the topic of alcohol and drug addiction so maybe give this one a skip if it’s not for you today.As we didn’t feel comfortable, confident or to be really honest, capable enough to write and record a meditation about addiction - we’ve created one around not taking your drinking too far and trying to stay true to your good intentions for your evening. This meditation will not be for people battling serious addiction issues and we’d advice anyone going through it to seek professional help and not help on a podcast nicknamed the fast food of meditationFollow us on IG - @relateandmeditateFollow Daisy Clementine on IG - @daisyclementinaFollow Rachel Crethar on IG - @rachelcretharFollow Cam on IG -@struthless69Please share this episode with anyone you feel it may benefit,  give us a rating on Apple Podcasts and subscribe to be kept in the loop with new episode releases.

We asked "what do you wish there was a meditation for?" to business coach, author and queen of podcasting Kaylene Langford founder of Startup Creative who responded - feeling like an imposter.Why do we sometimes feel like we're faking our way through our lives?  Having recently published a book - "How to Start a Side Hustle" and  (which will be available as of 7th July and already available for pre-order on Startup Creative website and Amazon!)  and running one of Australia's top business podcasts, a lot of people may be surprised to hear that like the majority of us (mainly women!) imposter syndrome likes to rear it head and rattle her from time to time.  The 'meditation' is at the last 6 minutes of the episode so if you're in need of a quick fix to tack your imposter syndrome - just skip to the end.
