We Evolve Podcast

As we wrap up season 4 and head towards the end of 2024, we thought it would be the perfect time to check-in and make sure we've been focusing on the right things.Where we choose to put our limited amount of energy and attention matters.    To put this to the test, we decided to run some of our podcast themes and focus areas through the lens of "the top 5 regrets of the dying" as captured by palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware.  We hope this conversation helps you to pause and reflect on whether you are living in alignment with what you truly value and your deepest hearts desires.    Much love - keep evolving! xxSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Over the past weeks, we have been bringing ritual to honouring the 1000s of women we have been in our lives - inspired by the beautiful Emory Hall poem.  If you have ever looked back at younger you and felt less-than, cringe, sadness or judgement - you are not alone!  Today is a reflection of the beautiful and surprising ways the ‘making peace with all the women we once were’’ ritual has unfolded for us.  Whether you joined us in doing the ritual or simply witnessed our journey, we hope this inspires you to honour the many versions of you that have formed the rivers of wisdom in who you are today.   Resources mentioned in the episode:   i have been a thousand different women - Emory Hall X Trevor Hall Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Today we’re going a little deeper on a concept that’s really been landing for us - the concept of  ‘creation energy’. When you’re in survival mode in any area of your life - be it your relationships, work, finance, health, friendships… going from ‘surviving to thriving’ can feel like an impossible leap.  But stepping into the creator energy opens up the space of possibility, especially when we build momentum by taking small steps within the realms of close proximity first. It’s something we’ve been experimenting with and have a few approaches and tools that are feeling good in our bodies, and we’re starting to see the unfolding of how we’re connected to the outcomes we’re desiring.  We hope creation energy inspires you to nurture the space of dreaming & possibility in your life.

How important are our desires? It seems like so many of our chats come back to knowing what our truest deepest desires are.  So much so, that we thought we’d pop this earlier conversation we had back in your feed. For a long time desire felt like a dirty word to us.If we start to connect to and even pursue our deepest desires, will we end up on a slippery slope that leads to our destruction?We discovered that this was one of the subconscious limiting beliefs we’d attached to desire.  The more we’ve unpacked the layers of the things that have held us back and kept us in small contained boxes, the more we’ve realised that desire is like a map that leads to our most delicious aligned lives. Join us as for this we explore the not-so-great meanings we had subconsciously attached to the word, and the beautiful path that opens up when we truly connect to our deepest desires. Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

In today’s short & sweet chat, we follow on from the theme we started last week about recognising how living in ‘lack’ limits our joy and experience of life. Instead, if we can lean into the juiciness of anticipation, this can replace the space that lack so often fills with fear, elevating our experiences.  It’s really about identifying what we desire, then revelling in the journey to fulfilling our goals, dreams and desires.Enjoy!  xxSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Have you ever woken up thinking I didn't get enough sleep, or gone to bed thinking I didn't get enough exercise or enough done... I'm not rich enough, smart enough, fun enough, pretty enough... I don't have enough time... there aren't enough good dates, jobs, people - and the list goes on. Today we explore a limiting belief that is very sneaky and pervasive. The theme of ‘lack’ or ‘not-enough’ runs deep and keeps us living small, fearful, anxious lives.  Lack will always limit the joy and satisfaction we deserve to experience and keep us disconnected from our desires and living lives that we’re actually energised for. In a culture built on scarcity, it can be hard to avoid - but not impossible once you can recognise the tricks that lack plays with our minds.    After years of making conscious choices to live from a mindset of enough-ness or abundance, we’re continuing to find new levels of awareness and ways to shift out of this limited way of being.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Today’s episode is building on our recent chat about being truthful with ourselves - we’re talking about bringing that self awareness and truth into our relationships.  Most of us have developed codependent and people pleasing tendencies as a means of safety and survival in a world that rewards compliance with a sense of belonging.  Even if this means denying the truth of our own needs and desires, and suppressing our most potent selves.  Belonging trumps authenticity in most cases as it’s more closely tied in with our survival.In codependency, both people are sourcing something of value from the relationship, however this is often “at the expense of our own needs, sense of self and overall wellbeing” (Liberated Love).   We all deserve to live deliciously rich lives as the most potent versions of ourselves without having to abandon parts of who we are.  In this episode we explore how can we start to move towards this level of truthfulness in a way that feels safe for us.  Curations & Vibe checks: our favourite spaces, places & things… Robin Clark - Instagram accountSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Being human means we’re constantly shifting through life transitions, shedding layers and growing. We often find ourselves navigating these in between spaces where things can feel ambivalent, uncertain, unknown.  Our tendency can be to rush onto the next thing or to fill the void as quickly as possible. Today we’re chatting about….Why does  it feel so weird to sit in these liminal spacesWhat is the value and the gift that is wrapped up in these times of ambivalence What choices can we make during the void to not become victim to life’s continual cycles of change Ultimately, how can we navigate these transitions in a way that honours the women we have been and who we are becoming Curations & Vibe checks:  our favourite spaces, places & things… Heifer Station Cellar Door - Orange Australia Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

In this episode we’re pondering the idea of truth telling with ourselves and the value of being our most potent selves. And why we can sense so much discomfort when we step into new identities and ways of being in the world.   We’ve been noticing that sometimes we dull down the potency of our own unique flavours of who we are by diluting what we feel, need or desire so that others are more comfortable with how we are showing up in the world.     This conversation explores how this ties into our sense of worthiness, our people pleasing tendencies and what happens when we water down the potency of who we are.  When we can bravely move into our potency, despite the discomfort of not fitting the mould of what people expect, we can more authentically connect with our desires and live in integrity with ourselves.Curations & Vibe checks:  our favourite spaces, places & things… Book: Liberated Love - by Kylie McBeath & Mark Groves Instagram Account: Florence Given  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

In recent years, we’ve become increasingly aware of the concept of ‘energy’ and thinking about life in terms of energy. Like the energy exchanges we’re making with the world around us.How our energy impacts others.How other people’s energy impacts us.How energy creates the realities we live in.How our energy is our most valuable asset. We invite you into this exploration about the benefits of deepening our intention and observation of the energetic focus and flow in our lives.  Curations & Vibe checks:  our favourite spaces, places & things… St Soleil - Celestial Journal Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Do you ever feel like you’ve done so much work to heal, create great relationships, set high standards and healthy boundaries, yet you feel like you can’t relax into your own life? Like you are holding it all together by a tenuous string. Like you are just waiting to exhale. But afraid that if you relax, everything is going to fall apart. Today we’re talking about this sense of hypervigilance and internal tension. When we hold on so tight to the outcomes that we expect by almost forcing them into existence, sometimes we aren’t getting a true gauge of what’s actually present in the circumstances and relationships around us.  As we raise our standards & set boundaries in our lives, we create a new baseline for the lives we want to create. But it can take a conscious softening into the new thresholds we’ve set for ourselves as we build proof that we have our own backs. Curations & Vibe checks:  our favourite spaces, places & things… EFT & Psychotherapy with Morgan WebertSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

How many times have you looked back at previous versions of yourself and felt regret, shame or criticism for decisions you’ve made, how you’ve shown up in the world, for repeating old survival patterns and not learning the lessons sooner…For not knowing what you couldn’t have known before grew wiser. Today we’re chatting about the f-word. Yep forgiveness. Or maybe it’s more a case of radical acceptance for what was. For the many versions of ourselves, the beautiful and flawed women we have been.  ‘For they are the bones of the temple we now sit in, and the rivers of wisdom leading us’ (in the exquisite words of Emory Hall).  It’s time to make peace with all of the women we once were.  Resources mentioned in the episode:   i have been a thousand different women - Emory Hall X Trevor Hall Curations & Vibe checks - our favourite spaces, places & things… Gentle Habits - This Is IncenseCorey Ashford - Oyster Incense Holder (Brass)  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Sometimes you stumble on a concept or way of thinking that launches you into the next level of your human experience.  The concept of manifestation did that for us.  And it’s been an absolute game changer.  Understanding manifestation and the energetics of how situations play out in our lives has completely transformed us. It’s elevated our understanding of the events that unfold in our lives, and how we approach working through transitions and challenges.   While it’s a bit more mainstream these days with an array of programs to join and books to read, we want to share some of our favourite teachers and resources.  Plus we’ll share a few personal manifestation stories!    Enjoy!

If you are looking back on the first half of this year thinking - what just happened?! You are not alone… Let’s be honest, for many of us it’s been equal parts beautiful and intense and uncomfortable as we step into fresh ways of being in and creating our lives.  As we make decisions and take actions that move us forward into new things, our nervous system can often signal alarm bells and move into a state of dysregulation - keeping us feeling stuck or like progress is oh so slow.  So we thought we’d do a check-in to share where we’ve landed after an intense start to the year, and talk through how we are resourcing ourselves so we don’t get stuck here.   If you are anything like us,  it’s time for some reflective truths about where we are at. How does a dedicated cocoon to reset & refocus sound?  Well that’s what we’ve created for ourselves - come and join us!  Resources mentioned in the episode:   Book: Liberated LoveWebsite & App: My Human Design Podcasts - Mark Groves & Sarah Baldwin: The Nervous System ExplainedThe Attachment Theory & Nervous System ConnectionHow to Somatically Rewire Your Past to Create Secure Attachment  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Tolerance is a 2-sided coin. On one side tolerance is a valuable skill that can open up deeper connections to people, ideas and opportunities.  But on the other side, it can leave us open to being walked all over and putting up with situations, relationships and interactions that we don’t like or deserve.  Often compromising on our true needs, wants and desires.    In today’s episode we’re discussing how we’ve both been noticing and thinking about this concept, but from slightly different angles.  When we flip the perspective, and think instead about creating higher standards, we step into ‘creator energy’.  This type of energy draws us forward.  It puts the focus on what we want to create, rather than what we will no longer tolerate in our lives.  It moves us from being victims to empowered creators of our own realities.    Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Today is Part 2 of a conversation exploring fertility and what happens when you don't get the outcome you so desperately thought you wanted.  Sometimes there are certain outcomes that we think are a given in our lives.   Things we just expect are going to happen at some point, and for many of us - it’s having babies! This part of the conversation moves into some challenges of the fertility journey, IVF and exploring solo parenting via a sperm donor.We peel back the layers of the underlying outcomes we might crave, sometimes masked by our desire to have children, and realising that nothing outside of us will fill any sense of desperation unless we can first find peace within ourselves.   Part 1 covers the assumptions we make about our own lives… the assumptions people make about us and women in general...how our culture values women… and re-evaluating where our sense of purpose and worth comes from when we don't tick the boxes on the cultural measuring stick.  It's a reflective conversation about the challenges on the fertility journey, the internal shifts and the life changing transformation we can experience by being present to our own journeys.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

While we love to fantasise about living into our dream lives that are full of our deepest desires, let’s not lose sight of the truth that our lives are today, in this very moment. The concept of ‘dream life’  is not just about some far off fantasy, rather it’s about intentionally moving towards creating lives we love.  Day by day we get to decide what type of reality we want to create.  How about a little romanticising of our own lives - right here, right now?  Today we’re talking about how we can infuse our lives and spaces with juiciness. Making the daily routine moments pleasurable and exquisite.   Are you ready for a little extra infusion of savouring life’s goodness?   Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

We all have our ‘stuff’ we have to manage on a day to day basis, be it emotional, mental or physical health issues.  And sometimes there are additional, often invisible layers, that impact all areas.  Dealing with neurodivergence is one of those invisible layers that creates extra challenges for existing in a society that struggles to support anyone who sits outside the status quo box.  With the recent surge in ADHD/ADD diagnosis for women already well into adulthood, many people are reassessing what works for them and what doesn’t. Also how to find a way forward that’s both hopeful, but doesn’t dismiss the real challenges that exist.   I (Charis) have found myself on this very journey. After years of wondering, I’ve recently been diagnosed with AD(H)D. In this episode I share what the experience has been like for me, some of the challenges I’ve had to navigate, and importantly how I’m moving forward, learning to cultivate compassion for myself and choosing to focus on creating a lifestyle that I can expand and grow in.Book reference: Scattered Minds - Dr. Gabor MatéSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

If parts of your life don’t feel like a good fit anymore or maybe they never have, it could be that you are living out of alignment.  Today we’re in conversation with the wonderful Kell Quarrell who is passionate about living and working in alignment - in fact her whole business ‘Bold Aligned Business’ and podcast ‘Aligned’ are based on this value.   As a topic that we touch on many times in our conversations here, we loved this opportunity to learn from Kell’s insights and sage advice she’s gained from lived experience.  Kell has traversed the transitions of living in true alignment, to learning to recognise when seasons shift, and then how to know when it’s time to close a chapter and make space for something new to come into your life. A multifaceted unicorn - Kell is a business strategist & coach, stylist, founder of numerous businesses, speaker, mother, spiritual enthusiast and life long learning - wow, how amazing are women!  Check out Kell’s offerings: Bold Aligned Business - Business membership & coaching SheKan - Live events program to support women on their self discovery journeyAligned podcastConnect with Kell's socials: @KellQuarrell facebook.com/kellquarrellcoachyoutube.com/@kellquarrellSupport the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Just ‘let it go’ is easy to say but sometimes so annoyingly hard to do. Especially when it’s something we had no control over - something that happened when we were powerless to do anything about it.  In these situations, what happens to us or within us, can impact us to our very core and majorly affect the course of our lives.  Moving through the ‘letting go’ process is something I (Emily) have been wrestling with and honestly experienced great frustration at myself for not being able to let go of some things that have profoundly impacted my life.   I kind of wish I could just say a few affirmations, and phew, gracefully kiss that trauma goodbye. Today we invite you into this safe space we’ve created to discuss the process of being really ‘in’ something and walking through the letting go process.  No rose coloured glasses. No spiritual bypassing.  Just sitting in my own truth and validating my own experience - with the help of a soul nourishing chat buddy.  We need each other right?  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

It’s fascinating how some people always seem to land on their feet, be in the right place at the right time, win the random competition, bump into serendipitous connections and have amazing opportunities drop out of the sky.   Is it luck.... or coincidence? She’s such a lucky bitch we might say (an identity Denise Duffield-Thomas has aptly adopted!).  So apparently, lucky girl syndrome is actually a thing… who knew!  Well we certainly didn’t when we set one of our energetic themes for this year as ‘I am a very lucky woman’. For us it’s ultimately about living into what is possible if I truly focus on the good fortune that exists, and that I can expect in my life. It’s an experiment in creation energy.  But as we started to dig into the online archives of ‘lucky girl syndrome’, it raised some provoking questions worth considering on our quest to explore this theme in more depth. Join us in this episode as we play with some ideas and questions, and share why we want to be very lucky women.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

While most of us would probably say that we trust ourselves, it’s interesting to notice just how much mental & emotional energy we waste going back & forth on some decisions.   If you are anything like us, you may have experienced the mental merri-go-round of trying to make a decision, the right decision, the best decision. Only to spin yourself into a web of confusion. We’ve realised that a lack of self trust saps our ability to feel peace & pleasure, not just in the day to day, but also in the bigger life-path decisions we all face.  Quite frankly, we’re over it. “I deeply trust myself” is one of the energetic themes we’ve chosen to focus on this year.  We’re peeling back another layer, witnessing our own ‘stuff’ with loads of compassion, but most importantly removing excuses so we can have an overflow of deep deep trust in who we are, our intuition and the decisions we’re making for our lives.  For us we’ve decided that - no decision is a wrong decision.   Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

In a world that glorifies selflessness - especially for women - let’s talk about why it’s crucial to reclaim a bit of selfishness in our lives. While abandoning our own needs, wants and desires helps keep the peace and maintain the status quo, many of us experience exhaustion and depletion, and just can't shake that feeling of resentment that starts to creep in.  When we’re in a state of disconnect from ourselves, it’s incredibly tricky to show up as the people we want to be -  not just for those we care about, but for ourselves and the lives we want to create.    So what if being selfish is an act of self preservation.  And what if we nourished & healed ourselves first - what a different world we would live in.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

We’re all about the long, luxurious and curious chats.  We’ve noticed that a common thread through all of our favourite connections and friendships is deep, soul nourishing conversations.It’s also been the glue and the gold of our friendship and is one of the main catalysts for even starting a podcast - we love the deep chats! Have you ever thought about what makes you feel comfortable, heard and nurtured in a conversation, or what makes you feel like ending it asap? Today we chat about the types of conversations that we are no longer available for… you know when your body is sending signals that you want out?! We’re also exploring what makes a conversation feel nourishing, validating and regulating for our nervous systems, and how these chats have been such potent containers for our healing and ongoing evolution.Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

I’m sure you’ve figured it out… everything in us and around us is constantly shifting and changing. It can feel anywhere from mildly unsettling, sometimes exciting and very often just outright terrifying. To crave stability and security is a very normal human response, so we may often find ourselves resisting the natural and inevitable shifts.  If we’re not aware of our responses, we’re often pouring energy into trying to keep things the same comfortable way they’ve always been. But in doing so we miss out on the gold, the growth and liberation we’ll see in our lives when we move through the discomfort, embrace the shifts, and use them to propel us forward.  Given this podcast is all about navigating our own evolution, in this episode we delve into what we mean when we talk about the ‘conscious evolution’, why do we even care about evolving and how does it truly empower and liberate our lives.   We have a choice to spend our entire lives pouring our energy into resistance, or we can embrace the beauty of each transition - for in every ending lies the potential for a new beginning.  Our ability to navigate change with presence and self awareness will enable our evolution - it’s a super power because if we can tune in to what we are learning and what’s going on internally rather than being victims to circumstances, herein lies the secret sauce to make the shifts we want to see in our lives.  We’ve come to learn that leaning into the conscious evolution is an act of deep self love that offers growth and freedom - and it’s a truly refreshing way to live.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

How comfortable are you with feeling proud of yourself?  Does it feel like you really should be humble and not enjoy the good feeling it can bring because we’ve somehow picked up that it’s ‘bad’ to feel or be proud.  Or if someone else is shining bright in whatever way is authentic to them, does it leave you with a feeling that they should just tone it down a bit?  Let’s be honest - we’ve probably all experienced these feelings at some point.  Rather than the ‘shrinking back’ feeling of shame, or judgement of ourselves or others, we’ve done some deeper investigation and have come around to a new way of thinking about it.  We think that feeling proud of ourselves should be a regular part of our conscious evolution process and something that can  bring much pleasure and goodness and really elevate our lives.  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Many of us have spent our lives using 'good' as our internal compass and trying so desperately to be good. Good girls, good women, good humans, good students, good employees, good bosses, good partners, good friends, good mothers, good sisters, good entrepreneurs, good stewards of our earth, good enough…  and quite frankly it’s all a bit exhausting. Today we walk through a beautiful poem that feels like indulging in a warm soothing bath and melts the tension away. Sometimes art has a divine way of helping us access parts of ourselves that we’ve shut away or have lost connection with.  For us, the poem Wild Geese by Mary Oliver cracked us open and has helped us on our journey to heal from the insatiable demands of codependency, shame, ‘good girl’ syndrome and the sense of not-enough-ness.  We want you to know to your very core - you do not have to be good. Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

“Just trust the process” – it’s often advice we dish out to ourselves and each other when we’re feeling like things are heading towards a cliff. But does the process even know we’re trusting it? For something we’re putting a lot of faith in – what are we actually trusting? The basis of this podcast is about navigating our evolutions and sharing our process, so let’s talk about what it actually means.Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

We often talk about one day when we make it to our dream life – like it’s a far off destination somewhere out ‘there’. Join us on an exploration of figuring out just what is a dream life.  What does a dream life feel like and is it even possible?Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

In this episode we consider a rather confronting question we’ve both asked ourselves many times – am I a failure?Words can be powerful and carry a lot of weight in our lives.  ‘Failure’ is one of those words for many of us. Today we dig deep on the heaviness we can experience because of the meaning we attach to failure. We share how we’ve unravelled the limitations of failure by redefining and reclaiming what it means to us. In fact, we’ve shifted so far the other direction - we think our failures mean we have great courage and we should really be popping bubbles.Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Join us as we sit in the delicious new year energy. It’s such a beautiful time to reflect on how we’ve evolved over the last year and create space to dream about the year ahead.  We've learnt that the creation happens energetically in our intentions, before the actions and outcomes in our lives.  While setting goals or resolutions haven't always been a great fit for us personally - we’re sharing how we put shape around the reflection and dreaming process in ways that feel exciting and authentic for us. Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Sometimes we make things much harder than they need to be. But do we actually have any control over the ‘ease’ factor in the situations and transitions we all face? We think so - and we are deep in the process of learning to let things have an energy of ‘ease’ rather than taking the well-worn-familiar-path of ‘struggle’. This chat is a window into one our current favourite topics about how to make the shift to welcome more ease & flow into our lives. Enjoy!  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Stress & busyness seem like that status quo for simply being alive. But there’s a price to pay. And if you are anything like us, we’ve had to learn the hard way to listen when our bodies are saying ‘no’. Join us as we explore the shifts we’ve made from being completely overwhelmed by our own lives, to making conscious choices about the types of lives we want to be living.   Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

How important are our desires?  Join us as we explore some of the not-so-great meanings we had subconsciously attached to the word, and the beautiful path that opens up when we truly connect to our deepest desires.Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

As humans we are hardwired to survive, and playing out our worst case scenario is so often our go-to survival strategy.  For us, we noticed it was actually a deeply ingrained habit that has kept us repeating patterns based in fear, shame and lack. So, what if we flip the script?  Today we’re chatting about how we’re learning to refocus our energy on creating expansion and possibility in our lives instead.We hope you’ll love this conversation as much as we loved having it!Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Do you ever catch yourself saying ‘well that’s just reality’ or ‘that’s just life’? We’ve found these moments are little flashes of insight into our own personal glass ceilings or barriers that have kept us living lives that feel somehow lacking to how we pictured our lives turning out… And it happens to all of us, but often we’re completely unaware of why. In this episode we explore how we’ve dug down to the roots and discovered subconscious beliefs that have held us back from stepping into the realities we truly want to be living. It’s an ongoing part of our process and truly life-changing.  We hope it is for you too!  Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Come with us as we explore the ‘both/and’ concept.  For us it carves out a container to help us hold the complexities within ourselves and the world we live in. It creates a beautiful space for both your truth and my truth to co-exist.  Check out some journal prompts on Instagram @we.evolve.podcast Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]

Today we chat about the concept of ‘radical responsibility’ and how it has the potential to change our lives. So what is it?  And importantly, what is it not.  We discuss examples of where we've applied radical responsibility or where we would benefit from applying it.  And we both share our process for digging deep into learning why not-so-great things have kept showing up in our lives, as well as some of the uncomfortable discoveries we've made about our own beliefs. BUT once we had awareness, were able to do something about it and make some huge shifts in our lives. We hope you enjoy!  Ps. we are in the process of figuring out this audio stuff so thanks for joining us as we evolve ;)Support the showSubscribe to our newsletter: weevolvepodcast.com.au Connect with us: @we.evolve.podcast Podcast enquiries: [email protected]
