In this day and age it's fair to say everyone experiences anxiety to varying degrees, what we delve into today is how anxiety makes us feel, the feelings that have been coming up for us with creating our podcast, and the lack of time. We chat about how open communication really may be a key factor in welcoming some calm, along with needing to feel like we have a semblance of control within our life, and that life isn't just happening to us.

We touch on when big decisions and the thought of the unknown can feel huge, and sometimes when everything feels too much we can almost be left in this state of paralysis. We discuss how Rach & Han both have very different coping skills and touch on what it can look like for us when we are trying to dig ourselves out of an overhwleming spot within our lives.

This was a chat relavent to where we are right now, and in time we would love to explore further what living with anxiety can look like for some over the longterm, day in day out, and not just a fleeting thing that comes up from time to time.

Thank you for being here, and as always, find those hot minutes where you can Hotties.

Hello dear Hotties! This week Rach generously and openly shares her experience with something she kept hidden from those closest to her for many many years. This raw and vulnerable chat, exudes honesty and a real insight into how it felt to live with Bulimia.

Rachael dives into the lowest points in her life, how her brain responded to certain situations, where it began, her feelings in amongst her colleagues and friends and how it felt when it was no longer a secret amongst those closest with her. She speaks about how she climbed out the other side with the help she received, both professionally and through those that were closest to her.

This is the very first time that Han and Rach have spoken about Rach's journey with Bulimia. Hannah asks all the questions that she has wondered about for years. This week's chat ended with the biggest of hugs.

Rachael is brave sharing her experience in the hope that it will reach someone who needs it most. We have no doubt you will share this with anyone that needs to hear it.

Hotties, come for the ride of pregnancy and birth with us! Hannah and Rachael not only share Birkenstocks, clothes, food and some quirks, but we shared the same midwife and both had a homebirth!

Today we dive right into the journey we had in both of our pregnancies and the lessons we learnt from our first births in order to shape our second births. We went through Mamatoto Midwives and both shared Juliana as our private midwife (not at the same time!). Today we talk about what that journey is like; the decision to have either a hospital or homebirth, the continuity of care, the ongoing support both mentally and physically, the after care in our homes and the birthing debrief that was so needed. We rave about Mamatoto Midwives and their mother-like care in this special period of our lives.

One of us share how they birthed their child themselves at home and we both reflect openly about our first birth experiences becoming quite traumatic. We both made decisions moving forward to empower ourselves and not let that happen second time around.

It is a personal one, but we are confident you will enjoy the chat.

Please, if you haven't already, follow, rate and review. We are excited to get into more ears and hearts and this really helps.

Love Han & Rach x

Strap yourself in for this one Hotties; whether you have been pregnant, birthed a child, been a sporty person, hit the gym or looked closely at your body in the mirror you will be able to relate to this one. It is a lot to navigate... you fall pregnant, you honour your changes within your body, you birth and then you are back to you again, right?
Absolutely not (for most)!

In today's chat, we dive into all of the feels around our post pregnancy bodies. We share the joy we have felt through the process of pregnancy, and the massive miscommunication between our brain and body that we have felt postpartum. Not spoken to enough is our pelvic floor after pregnancy and birth; we go there! The mind and body connection is explored today as well as how we now feel sexually.

What we will say is that we know the human body is incredible. This episode is not about disrespecting our bodies. We fully respect our bodies, more so since having children. We have found a new appreciation for what our bodies can do, where our bodies are at and we are a lot more loving towards our vessel. The change is however, a lot to navigate.

Come with us for this chat and get in touch if this episode spoke to you.

B, B, B, BONUS Episode! Hotties, you guys asked for more and we listened. This one is FOR YOU! We asked for your questions and they blew us away.

Today we answer a fun question where we share our quirks; the perculiar traits that make us who we are today that form us, our behaviour. We learnt things about each other today. One of us doesn't like dry feet or hands, one of us needs things to be tight to feel secure and both of us have no filter on stopping with our pizza ingredients.

Tune in to find out more of our quirks. Please share with us some of your quirks and let us know that we are not alone with some that we mention today. Jump over to our Instagram and send us a DM with one of your perculiar traits that help to make you you. If you have another question for us for future Bonus Episodes, fire away.

Have a beautiful day Hotties and thanks for coming along this ride with us.

Welcome back to A Hot Minute With Us. We are so glad you are here.
Today we dive into Rach's experiment with turning that black box on the wall off; the TV. She chats about how it has impacted her parenting, her family dynamic and what opportunities it has now opened. The outcome has been incredibly positive for many reasons.

We chat about what has been lost since TV's have come into our lives; more so paid TV where we can choose whatever we want to watch whenever we want. This is at a cost of human connection. Hannah shares what it is like to live without a TV by choice. It has been over 5 years now. Yes, she does not have a TV in her home!

This isn't a chat about trying to convince anyone to delete their TV. This is an open chat about our experience with Rach's reset of no TV and Hannah living without one.

Clothes out, shoes on, lets go for a walk for both the body and mind. Today once your laces are done up, lets take you with us for a walk; we chat all about the benefits for us, the benefits on the brain and mental health, how it fuels our day as individuals and as mums looking after little ones and our secret to ensuring you get out and make it happen. No excuses.

Before we hit record on this one, we went out for a walk together. As enjoyable as it was, we do reveal we prefer to walk alone! We have inspired you guys by simply doing us; by getting out and walking most days. So, this episode is for all of you. We love that we have inspired you without meaning to.

Hoping this gives you that extra little step needed.

Come fly with us! After many requests, today we go in the air with Rach. Han can stay on the tarmac where she prefers. Rach is an International Flight Attendant, and one day soon enough, she'll be back in the skies. She takes us on the plane with her and into a day in the life of a flightie.

Hannah guesses what she thinks Rach does as a flight attendant and Rach explains exactly what her job in the air entails. She dives into the goss around the mile high club, the vomit, the brown stuff on the mirrors, the celebs on board, her sleeping arrangements and how she feels as the trolley of food gets towards the end of the plane. Hannah's biggest take away was around the importance of safety in her job.

Come with us in this light and informative chat. Maybe one day in the near future, you might see Rach in the air. Make sure you listen to her safety briefing and do not talk to her during take off and landing. Oh, and make sure that tray table is stowed away.
