Fair warning - we've left in allllll of the utter nonsense of our normal conversations in. We lost count of how many times we lost our train of thought!

Yet somehow through it all, we end up having a rather robust conversation on self-awareness. How did we get there, how does it show up in our lives and tips on how to improve it...

Sam & Jess individually met Lena in Roxby Downs over 10yrs ago, and we were so excited to reunite for this epic pod floor chat. Lena now lives on a BOAT (from the desert to the ocean - talk about extremes!) and spends her time pushing herself through her limits emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually so that she can serve community through the embodiment of her work as an educator across a holistic range of human centric practices. Lena is a certified (twice!) teacher in tantric principals, a registered counsellor, certified coach and personal trainer who works with people on their holistic wellness goals, teaching from a place of personal embodiment of her work.

Sam shares her internal journey of cultivating self love through the development of self awareness. Calling out the problem in focusing on the external results (over 40kg of weight loss) as the focal point, cautious of contributing to body image issues caused by the 'before and after' process often perceived as 'good and bad', whilst acknowledging the power of using photos & imagery in bringing people into a conversation about achieving sustainable health. What a head fuck!
