Being mindful in your day-to-day life as a busy mum can be tricky. You understand, abstractly, how beneficial it is, but taking that final step to put it into action can be a struggle. I get it. I find it incredibly difficult amongst the noise of our home, the busyness of getting through each day, and the wall to wall chores than never subside, to find space to be mindful.
That's why I enjoyed my conversation with mindfulness teacher Michelle Gale, the author of the brand new book, “Mindful Parenting in a Messy World” and host of a podcast of the same name. Why? Because Michelle brings mindfulness right into your own kitchen while hurriedly serving up dinner and shouting through the house that you'll be there to wipe his bottom just as soon as you've saved the sausages from burning.
Michelle brings the message that life is messy. But it's right in the midst of this messiness that you'll find your greatest potential for growth and transformation. In a practical and down-to-earth way, Michelle teaches you that the act of parenting really begins with parenting yourselves by being in tune with what is happening, right here, right now.
Today Michelle will help you through the rough spots so you'll react less, connect more and feel at ease, so you can wholeheartedly embrace your messy life.

Go Conquer Motherhood!
Your hopes, dreams and priorities change once you have children. Your career, that once offered personal validation before becoming a mum, no longer cuts it now children are on the scene. So how do you figure out exactly what you want from life, and more importantly, how can you make it a reality?
Actor, writer, speaker and coach, Nicky Raby will help you do just that with some careful planning and down-to-earth advice. In this episode, Nicky talks about how life has changed since having her 21 month old son, and how she juggles the unpredictable world of acting around motherhood.
It’s clear that Nicky's grabbing life by the horns, and as a professional coach she helps other mums navigate similar changes. While it’s great that there are loads of self-development options available, Nicky takes the practical view that you can’t meditate for half a day and send off a couple of emails. Instead, she offers practical advice and suggestions to help you to find your own space, on your own terms.
Today Nicky will open you up to the possibility of 'and' rather than being closed off by 'but'. It shouldn’t be ‘successful but single’, and it shouldn’t be ‘creative but poor’. You can have both ‘creative and successful’. And it's OK to blend together your multiple passions to create a career and life that works for you. Why let yourself be limited by the expectations of others when you can fly, just like Nicky.

Go Conquer Motherhood!
Imagine leaving your home in the morning and returning to find out that your 9 year old son had experimented with fire and blown up your house.
The house is burnt out. Your son is fighting for his life in hospital covered in burns on 100% of his body. And you have four other children to care for.
That 9 year old boy was John O’Leary. John is now a husband, father of four; three boys and a girl. He's the #1 bestselling author of the book ON FIRE and a highly sought inspirational speaker.
In this incredible story, John - in my first dad-only episode - talks about how he and his family pulled through this unthinkable tragedy. The strength of character, resilience and determination of his mother. And how this life altering event changed John's world in such a positive way, he has dedicated his life helping others overcome their challenges and live inspired lives.
Through his story, John will "liberate you from excuses, destructive cynicism, limiting beliefs, broken relationships, and lousy results" because like he says, " you can’t always choose the path you walk in life, but you can always choose the manner in which you walk."
