    #63 Understanding my menstrual cycle with Miriam Stener
    2025/04/04
    My guest host Miriam Stener is back and we're talking menstrual cycles.

    Did you talk to your parents about menstrual cycles when you first got your period? Or was it something you almost discovered and learnt about on your own, perhaps with your friends? How do you talk to your children about it?

    We talk about working with our periods, as opposed to working against it, and that it is ok to take it easy if that's what feels right for you when you're in the middle of your period.

    The app Miriam uses to track her cycle is called Stardust. If you too use this app, I'd love to know how you're finding it.

    For her exercise, she uses Barre Definition.

    None of these are sponsored, just recommendations from Miriam herself because she loves them so much.

  • #62 Women and transitions with Jenny Sumner

    #62 Women and transitions with Jenny Sumner
    2025/03/21
    Jenny Sumner and I are having a long overdue chat on this episode of the podcast, and it's all about women, transitions, finding ourselves and being ok with all the changes.

    Jenny is an Identity and Mindset Coach and a Holistic Therapist.
    Working predominantly with women, Jenny's passion lies in supporting women amidst transition, which, let's face it, is most of our lives. By supporting women to not only consider their needs, but to realise them, guilt free, Jenny supports women to live happier and more fulfilling lives, by shining on their very own throne.

    As well as coaching, Jenny is a clinical reflexologist (MAR). Reflexology and coaching go hand in hand, as personal growth can only happen when our bodies feel safe and balanced.

    It's funny, because with some people it almost seems impossible to have a surface level conversation, and Jenny is one of those people. Whenever we bump into each other, I find myself going straight in the deep end, and it feels comfortable. I hope this shines through for you in our conversation.

    To work with Jenny, please follow her on instagram @berkhamstedreflexology and @jennysumnercoaching, or visit her website www.berkhamstedreflexology.com.

    #61 Dreams, plans and hopes, and what comes of it all, with Miriam Stener
    2025/02/28
    My good friend Miriam is back on the show as a future semi-regular guest!

    We did not plan this episode at all before hitting record, and as always with me, those are the best podcast recordings.

    We're talking:

    Human design
    Raising children
    Feeding your children nutritious meals
    What success is
    Negative self talk
    Peri menopause


    and much much more!

    No filter on, so our language isn't always child proof, but it's what happens when emotions are high.

    You can find Miriam at The holistic wellbeing hub: https://open.substack.com/pub/miriamstener?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3aybdi

  • #60 Motherhood, trauma, and protecting your energy with Hannah Flores

    #60 Motherhood, trauma, and protecting your energy with Hannah Flores
    2025/02/12
    Hannah Flores had quite the traumatic child birth, and this episode she sits down with me to talk about it, what she's learnt from it, but also how to move forward.

    20 minutes in to the conversation, my recording equipment failed, and the second part of our talk happened 2 months later, probably covering a completely different topic than what we set out to do during the first talk!

    Hannah is currently suffering from chronic migraines, and has done for a while. Whilst she'd get rid of them in a heartbeat if given the opportunity, they are also teaching her a whole lot. Like how to say no.

    This conversation feels a bit like listening in on two good friends having a deep natter about a variety of topics, and I hope it will also leave you with the feeling of "man, it's good to hear someone else struggling with XYZ and not just me".

    You can find Hannah on Instagram under @digitalnourishment and as usual, I'm under @smallstepstowellness

  • #59 Money can't buy you happiness, but.... with Andrew Logan

    #59 Money can't buy you happiness, but.... with Andrew Logan
    2025/01/27
    After a very long Christmas break, The Small Steps to Wellness Show is back with a fantastic guest.

    Andrew Logan - a top leader within Network Narketing, a fantastic coach and successful podcast host - is my guest on this episode, and we dive into the notion that money can't buy happiness.

    After graduating from University as a Physiotherapist in 2004, Andrew was following the traditional path – get a good job, progress into small business, buy some investment properties, retire with a nice nest egg. But the further he was going down the path, the more he started to question its viability. The traditional path was a well-trodden path, but not one that would provide the lifestyle of financial freedom and travel that he wanted, in the timeframe that he wanted. This began a decade long search for a way out of the rat race.

    Andrew and his wife Angie eventually discovered Network Marketing, and whilst at first being sceptics, they eventually decided to take a closer look at what it had to offer.

    Andrew and Angie reached the pinnacle rank in their company and are Top 3 Income Earners. They have a team of over 70,000 people in 13 countries, having generated over $30 million in sales and earned over $6 million in commissions – so far.

    Over the past 4 years, Andrew and Angie have continued to grow their Network Marketing business, alongside taking to the stage around the world training business and financial mindset strategies for the industry.

    In 2020, Andrew released his book ‘The Way Out – 7 Steps to Financial Freedom Through Network Marketing’ – a Step by Step blueprint for building true wealth in Network Marketing.

    Andrew and Angie live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia with their 2 children, 1 dog and Angie’s cat.

  • #58 Bobbie Leigh Town on healing and being in tune with your body

    #58 Bobbie Leigh Town on healing and being in tune with your body
    2024/12/20
    In the 58th episode of The Small Steps to Wellness Show, I'm talking to Bobbie. I'd heard some stories about what Bobbie has gone through, but honestly, none of it came close to hearing it all from the source itself.

    I know that this episode can be triggering for some, especially if you have gone through, or know someone who has gone through cancer. Please be aware that this is Bobbie's experience (and we do point this out in our conversation as well), and not necessarily an experience that others might have.

    This is Bobbie's story. There is a lot I don't understand, and perhaps I might have chosen a different path to Bobbie's, but this show is all about communication, listening, and learning from each other.

    Bobbie Leigh Town is predominantly a Shamanic healer, and an animal and spirit guide communicator, with a very eclectic skillset of other creative and spiritual gifts, who is also very passionate about the magical world of natural healing.

    Having had a pretty “colourful life” single handedly healing her mind, body and soul of several aggressive physical, emotional and mental conditions more times than she can count, including a severe form of brain tumour, she is now super passionate about taking her knowledge, wisdom and lived experiences to help others heal. Her wish is that through supporting others in their healing process, they too can ve the best lives they possibly can in this human experience.

    Apologies for the slightly off sound in the beginning of the conversation. It does improve.

    You can find Bobbie here:

  • #56 Dr Hans-Thomas Richter on the importance of omega 3

    #56 Dr Hans-Thomas Richter on the importance of omega 3
    2024/11/28
    Dr. Hans-Thomas Richter is a seasoned practitioner and researcher in the field of
    Traditional Chinese Medicine and nutritional science, with a robust career transition from
    biomedical research to natural medicine.

    He owns and operates NatureWorks Therapeutics and the wellness resource, Omega3Health.us.

    In this episode, I sit down to talk to Hans-Thomas about the challenges he believes we are facing when it comes to health. The biggest problem, he says, is our skewed omega 3 / omega 6 ratio, and the effects which that in turn can have on our bodies and long term health.

    A balanced omega 3 to omega 6 ratio is not the only factor in the puzzle that is health, but one we should pay more attention to. With the amounts of ultraprocessed foods we consume, that mostly contain omega 6 rich oils, we end up with a far higher ratio of the proinflammatory omega 6 in our body than we need.

    Too much inflammation over time can be the precursor to a whole host of diseases, which is why I think this episode is one worth listening to.

    Dr Hans-Thomas and I use and advocate for different omega 3 products, but our views on the importance of a good quality omega 3 supplement if you cannot (and I don't think most of us can) get it through your diet, are aligned.

    If after listening, you have questions, please get in touch with either of us to discuss further.
