Have you ever felt completely drained after spending time with certain people? Uncover the strategies for protecting your energy in our latest episode.
I reveal how to recognise and manage interactions with "energy-sucking vampires." These individuals, often unknowingly, tap into your energy to recharge themselves, leaving you exhausted and emotionally depleted. We'll explore key strategies to identify these people in your life, manage your interactions, and maintain your emotional well-being.
I also discuss trusting your intuition; and how women in particular, are frequently facing societal pressures, and being shamed into ignoring their inner voices and risking their own safety.

1 The Effect of Working from Home on Mental Health (Is Remote Work Ruining Your Well-Being?) | Ep 110 27:54
Send us a text Working from home has become the new normal for many of us, but how is it really affecting our mental wellbeing? This episode unpacks the complex psychological impact of remote work, revealing surprising statistics about burnout, isolation, and productivity in home-based workers. I dive into the research showing that 41.6% of remote workers report declining mental health, while paradoxically, many others rate their happiness higher than their office-bound counterparts. The key difference? Personality type, environment, and personal habits. Introverts often flourish without the social demands of an office, while extroverts may wither without human interaction. This episode offers practical strategies for protecting your mental health while working remotely. Whether you're struggling with remote work isolation or trying to optimize your home office setup, this episode provides the psychological useful insights. Your mental wellbeing shouldn't be sacrificed for workplace flexibility – learn how to create a remote work routine that genuinely supports your psychological health.

Send us a text This episode is the first of 2 episodes where I discuss my concerns about gender ideology and it's affects on children. I delve into the changes in language and terminology and why it matters. I question the shifting narratives and the noticeable rise in young girls identifying as non binary and transgender. My intent is to provide parents with a grounded perspective and understanding of the many factors driving these changes in our youth. I also examine the controversial topic of gender-affirming care. What does it mean and is it a good thing? Or are children having unnecessary, life changing medical interventions? I encourage critical thinking about the broader societal narratives and personal challenges that may influence youth, drawing parallels with past trends and social contagions. Ultimately my goal in this and the next episode is to draw attention to the dangers of this ideology and help adults to understand this topic and it's possible implications for the young people in their life. My heart goes out to all who are effected by this complex issue and I wish only the best for these individuals. This discussion is a criticism of the ideology and the poor safeguarding for children, not an attack on individuals. I cannot emphasise enough the importance of open dialogue in safeguarding children's well-being.

In this episode, I welcome Tina Summers, a passionate artist from the picturesque Port Stephens (north of Sydney), who shares her powerful journey of overcoming doubts and insecurities about her artistic ability. We discuss imposter syndrome and perfectionism, providing insights into embracing artistic identity through a creative process that balances joy and self-expression. My conversation with Tina doesn't stop at personal growth; it extends into the broader impact of creativity on society. We explore how engaging in art, music, and communal creative activities can reduce stress and create a sense of belonging. Creativity isn't just for the artistically inclined; it's a vital element of life that can be nurtured through simple, everyday practices. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion on how creativity is not only a joyful pursuit but a crucial component of emotional well-being, personal growth and achievements (personal and in society).

Join us on the Wellness Connection podcast with a compelling conversation with Sam Ebblewhite, a somatic sexologist and intuitive healer who shares her deeply personal journey with body image. We examine the pervasive impact of edited images on social media and the unrealistic beauty standards they promote, especially for young girls. Our discussion underscores the urgent need for self-acceptance and the power of authenticity in a world driven by external validation. Fiona candidly reflects on the struggle of maintaining authenticity amid personal challenges with weight, health and self-perception as a nutritionist. We then discuss how embracing our vulnerabilities may empower others to accept their imperfections and prioritise self-care over societal expectations. We confront the delicate balance of self acceptance while cautioning against normalising unhealthy habits. Self-worth should never be tied to body size, however health must always be a consideration. Rejecting diet culture has led some to go too far in the other direction! Finally, we delve into the nuanced world of cosmetic procedures, Sam shares personal experience and insights on navigating these choices, urging listeners to consider both mental and physical implications before proceeding. Our conversation highlights the significance of aligning one's mental, emotional, and physical health, advocating for a holistic approach to body image and self-care. This episode aims to empower our listeners to embrace their unique body image journeys with confidence and compassion.
