3 quotes about fear stopping you | Episode 87
We’re talking about fear and the way it stops us from doing the things we want to do. Fear is at the base of any time we show hesitation or doubt. I’ve spent alot of time, and wasted alot of time, making decisions based on what scares me, and I think it’s something we need to face.
Here are 3 quotes to help us look at fear and how it stops us.

Uncertain, imperfect, irresponsible | what I’m learning about OCD | Episode 80
Hooray it’s episode 80! I’m so glad you made it :)
This week I wanted to talk about a set of words that have kept me going while I start to understand and work through my OCD and anxiety - a lot of the healing is through action and being and doing, so working with our brains (thoughts) and teaching our bodies (action and stored trauma) new safety signals is how we start to live with challenges like this.

Whatever you’re not changing, you’re choosing | Episode 79 | Eczema & chronic illness, Sydney city adventure
Hey guys, I’m back with a new episode - maybe one of the most important ones I’ve made.
If you can watch this video on Spotify or YouTube, i’m sharing with you (visually) 2 things - my eczema rash and a mini vlog from my trip into the city over the weekend. It’s the first time I’ve shared a photo of my eczema online - I’m about 3 months into this flare up and it’s sucks BUT I know someone will relate. I really like making videos - so if you like seeing more about my life, let me know on instagram @makesunshineco so I can create more for you :)
Remember this quote - we cannot change everything, but we can choose alot of things instead and despite it. What do you choose?

Everything you thought was drowning you, was teaching you | Episode 74
I’m back!
this week I’m taking a bit about learning experiences - whether it’s in hindsight, or using mindfulness when we’re in the middle of it.
I do believe we can learn something from all experiences in life, and while it never feels easy or good, it’s worth knowing you will be okay and something will come from it.

Who am I? What do I want? How do I get there? | EPISODE 69
This episode is sort of a 'part 2' from last week's quote - I think once you know who you AREN'T, then asking yourself these 3 questions becomes easier.
Who are you? What do you want? How are you going to get there?
This doesn't just apply to your career choices - think about it as a guide & compass for anything in your life that you really want to work on right now. Relationships, your physical health, your mental health, how you speak to yourself, how you parent...

The World Needs One Of You Too | Celebrating Your Uniqueness | Episode 64

"how cool is it, that the same god that created oceans and mountains and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too"
I thought this quote was so special - it really encapsulates how I feel about celebrating who we are and embracing our uniqueness, instead of trying to fit in with others.
