Let's Explore the 9 till 3pm DayThere is a life that happens between 9 and 3pm and a life that happens outside this!This is the life of a mumpreneur and the boundaries need to be firm!At the beginning of our Mumpreneur journey (working from home 9 till 3) Mel and I both encountered the creeping in of all the extras.Walking past the dirty dishes and just spending 5 mins putting them in the dishwasher, seeing the laundry pile so just putting on one load, walking around in bare feet noticing the sand sticking to the bottom of your feet and just quickly vacuuming the floor.....Sound familiar???There are even things such as the pings from the school emails, and the life admin that becomes your problem, holding all the things in your head, whilst getting passionate about your biz...Hmmmm I can see why things can go pear shaped quickly.How do we keep this very sacred space, sacred?How do we protect this time, where we get to show up in our genius, and share with the world our unique gifts? Yes it takes practice, and the first thing we can do, as we always say, is start a conversation.  The firsts one being with yourself.Remind yourself how important this passion space is for you, remind yourself that there will always be mess, but you still get to show up.Get clear on the boundaries you will set in order to protect this time of your day, and then start these conversations with your nearest and dearest, sharing your clear boundaries and also inviting them to help!It's ok for you to live your passion too.Until next timeNat and Mel xx ooHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

SOCIAL MEDIA pages for the support group @myohmeno on insta & fbBOOKS A great starting point for getting educated about the Menopause Phases, in an easy to digest format (and funny) is Kaz Cooke's book 'IT'S THE MENOPAUSE' Available at Big W etc or librariesPODCASTSThriving in Menopause Podcast by @preventionaus (shortish episodes) - they also have a Magazine aimed at midlife aged womenThe Doctor Louise Newson Podcast @menopause_doctor (also has written books) and she was interviewed on The Imperfects Podcast good intro to definition of Menopause and what to expectRECOMMENDED INSTAGRAM PAGES TO FOLLOW@jeanhailes@menopauseallianceaustralia@australianmenopausecentre@menopause_doctor@doctormaryclaireUntil next time....Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

Add MORE to your schedule to create MORE space in your weekNow I know that sounds like an interesting concept. Mel and I hear mums all the time talking about how they don't have enough time for themselves, well to be clear they don't have enough time to add anything extra in!And now we are here, asking you, to rethink that strategy.Often the feeling of not having enough time is more about how we feel on the inside than what is happening on the outside (and I do acknowledge those times when life is just full).The feeling of overwhelm, stress, not having it all together, pressure to make the perfect decisions, not feeling like you are enough, can really clog up your system and this then gets reflected by the limited time you feel there is to get everything done.But what if you created more time for the things that you love, the things that fill up your cup, the things that create that feeling of spaciousness and openness in the body?Would you also start to feel that in your outside world?Mel and her hubby somehow found over 20 hours a week combined to bring in more of the good stuff that helps them feel grounded and present. And they didn't remove anything else.  What they received was a flow feeling, easier communication, and could better handle the wild cards that throws at them.They noticed that they were now so much more aware of the goodness that life has to offer and felt more able to gift that goodness back to their family and friends.There is almost a new sense of confidence when you get to stand in this space.Choosing to embrace the extra hours actually gave them back something that can't be replaced by just aching for more time.It gave them back that feeling of being ALIVE and living in the present moment. So next time you see an opportunity to allow yourself some fun, stillness, excitement, wonder, movement, in your life, say YES and see what happens.You might surprise yourself.Until next time....Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

Reclaiming your BEST Life in the Mess of LifeFrom one Mumma to another we know, we REALLY know what the juggle entails.It's supermarket shops, in between work and school drop off. It's after school sport coordination plus laundry. It's cooking dinner at breakfast so you can work your passions during the day.And did I mention cleaning the cushions after the dog has jumped all over them with dirty paws (true story for me this week!)You will have your own examples to draw from....But even in all of this mess there is a fire in my belly to find the time to immerse myself in my passions plural. To bury my head deep in an incredible book about someone who beat the odds.  To watch my fav movie for the 100th time, to walk along our most incredible everchanging beach.To bring my ideas to life through engaging in my purpose of supporting women to listen into their needs, to find the courage to know what their passions are and to help these women to speak with those near and dear to them about what they want in this life.The truth is I want no mother to feel like she left her best years behind her, like she never quite got to feel that excitement in her body of doing the thing she loves most.This is not to say that some of our best moments are being in our family space.It's saying that we can have those moments and we can have a passion too.It's time,Nat and Mel xxooHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

Creating an easy exit from the house with value based parenting strategies - with Suzie Forbes This week we have with us Suzie Forbes, she has a wealth of knowledge in working with children across many ages.As we know one of the frustrations we can sometimes feel when we are about to Grab our Keys and Go, literally heading out the door, is the 'Muuuuum' cry from our kids!When we hear this, we are torn between doing what we do best, holding space for our child, hearing and comforting them or wanting to pretend nothing is happening and just get out of there!Suzie walks us through ways to support our family before this moment even arrives.  Good idea hey!Suzie starts by sharing her beautiful story of 'life in session' as she calls it, where she is in the juggle and the juggle is real, when her children were little and she was the sole carer of their wellbeing.  Again reminding us that our needs can become invisible when we are in this space. It can feel incredibly overwhelming, and it's not easy, but even in this time, Suzie still chose to step up, to be the role model for her children.We do laugh, looking back at these times, but there are some amazing messages in these moments.  Suzie wisely says when it comes to getting our needs met that it's about tapping into our values, understanding what everyone needs to feel safe and supported in the space, and also what each person needs to feel like their cup is full. We are playing the long game here.  To set up an easy exit out the door it requires a thoughtful plan, thoughtful conversations, and setting up spaces for these conversations so everyone in the family feels seen and heard. It is possible.Until next time,Nat and Mel xxooHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568YOU CAN FIND SUZIE HERE:https://bit.ly/Stop-Fighting-Now-BOOKhttps://www.facebook.com/WonderfulSocietyhttps://www.instagram.com/the.wonderfulsociety

Is there Such a Thing as Balance ???Bec starts us off with some real GOLD straight of the bat in this episode, as we are sharing our Grab Your Key and Go moments, she reminds us that we are always only 5mins away from feeling better.5 mins of walking, 5 mins of a conversation, 5 minutes of breathing.We get to remember that we are very capable human beings, and when we are in the mess, often the first thing that we let go of is taking care of ourselves.But does it have to take 30mins to take care of ourselves, or can we create some openness in 5mins if that's all we've got in that moment.What we discovered was (as our coach and mentor says) Balance is Bullshit.That life continues around us, things pop up, our kids come home needing to chat, someone in the family gets a cold and we can't equally set out our week for Health, Wellbeing, Connection, Business, Family, Friends etc etc.  It's about being messy whilst having it together! Both/ And (as Bec mentions).How can you incorporate what you love into your life daily?The first part is understanding yourself, knowing what works for you. Bec explains that from an early age movement was incredibly important in her life, and now that's part of what she does daily.It's more about priorities rather than how much time you are spending on any one thing.Bec talks about it in the form of 'dropping a few balls',  or which balls do we need in the air to keep us feeing good.  What can we keep, what can we let go of at any given time. For Bec the important balls are: Sleep, Strict boundaries around social media, Creating healthy guidelines around communications, No comparisons, Space for emotional processing with the children, She lets herself off the hook! and Doing things that she loves is ok. What are yours?

And how to get those things that you want on any budget.This is only a small part of what she is all about, if you would like to know more head to www.tillowcc.com.auJess has always had a great money story and beautifully shares with us here how that plays into how she chooses to view money. One of my favourite sentences she speaks in this episode is when she says she was 'bossy with her money'.   In that moment Jess established that she was in fact the one in control.And when we realise we have the same opportunity to be in control of our relationship with money our whole world can change.Then we can start to explore what is important in our world and allocate according to what we have available.Jess says even putting $1 away a week can keep us moving towards what we want.We also got her perspective on some of the issues that Mum's can have around spending money on themselves, when they are working or Staying at home with kids, and touched on the conversations you can have with your partner to establish so that everyone's needs are met.Jess connects us with the emotions we feel when spending money on those things we love and that's what its all about.  JOY!Until next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

Is there Fair Play in your Home?I love that there is passionate women out there writing incredible books like the one I am reading now called Fair Play by Eve Rodsky.https://www.fairplaylife.com/the-bookThis is what stepping out of your comfort zone looks like, this is what speaking up about your needs looks like.Eve's journey started with her listening in and recognising that something wasn't feeling right.She started getting curious, she started having conversations, and before she knew it, she was creating something that would change the lives of other women who felt the same.This book spoke to me because I am one of those women who had fallen into the pattern of taking care of the children and looking after the home.My joyful self, the parts that were once interesting about me seemed to be a very long distance second as I plummeted to the bottom of my list.Mel and I have a great chat in this episode about my 'Time Audit', and the 'Shit I do' list, looking at where our times goes in the day.  We laugh in here, but these things take up a lot of our time, they interrupt our time and they zap our mental space.Take a listen and see what you can start to create in your household that allows you more time freedom to Grab Your Keys and Go.Until next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

It is his 'to live by' mantra.We had a lot of silliness in our household.  I think it became more so when the Video Camcorder arrived in 1993 ish.  The thing I love about this is that we still get to laugh at all the crazy things we did even now through watching the reruns!This 'silliness' theme has been embedded and passed onto our kids also and when we get together, anything can happen.The cool thing about silliness, is it's very freeing.  It brings fun and lightness to an experience and it's an incredible connector of people.One laughs, and we all know how contagious laughing is!I hope you get a good laugh out of this episode, or at least crack a smile, and can invite a little silliness into your day today.  I wonder what will happen......Until next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

The Opportunity is Yours to Create I have spent a lot of my life creating my community.If I couldn't find what I was looking for, I would gather people together and make it happen, and it was always more incredible than I ever dreamed of.I think it's understanding that all of us have the ability to create what it is we need.When I started my parenting journey, I was at a bit of a loss.  I was very keen on Attachment Parenting techniques at the beginning, and I really wanted answers to all the questions I was asking in that space.I joined a parenting group, but it was a 45min drive with a baby who really didn't like being in the car at all!!So instead of missing out, I created a mothers group space at home, inviting people in with similar values of parenting to me and we were able to provide support to each other.It was so wonderful and nourishing for the parents and the children.I even created a folder with information for frequently asked questions and a library of books that people could borrow.It was a great space and served us all well.When that stage of life was coming to a close, I entered a new space with the kids going off to school.This started to open up some gaps.  As the children were becoming more independent, I was able to do more for myself.So again I called up a friend and suggested we get together once a month to chat, and do an activity that felt good for our growth as a person.Well that soon, became 3 people, then 4,5,6 and is currently sitting at around 8 regular attendees.And again it has grown into something I could never imagine!!Instead of meeting in one of my small spare bedrooms, we meet in a beautiful dome at the back of one of my friends houses, and we dance, sing, laugh, cry, learn, grow and take turns leading, while also bringing to the table our own talents aaaaaand we meet weekly, no waiting for a whole month to nourish ourselves.I highly encourage you to seek what it is you want.To grab your courage and run with it.Community is everything.

Really epic things occurred as you will hear in the podcast.

Listen into my story around cheap meals and being thrifty (not in a good way), and Mel who chats about how her story around money changes when she is not feeling like she is contributing financially to her family.Stories can either move us away from what we want or towards what we want.And guess who gets to choose which way you want to go.Yes, you do of course.It all starts with awareness.This is what our podcasts are about.  If you don't know, you don't know, and if you do know, it's so good to share that information with others, so they can make choices that feel right for them.This will lead you to your YES.We chat about how we can still create possibilities even if we are a stay at home mum.We talk through the internal fight for worth when we become a stay at home mum doing the invisible work and how we can be ok with using some of the funds coming into the family home to continue to say YES to what we love.It's a wild roller coaster ride.  Mel says beautifully in here that often it's not the pressure from your partner around the money you spend, but how you feel about yourself that stops you from spending the money on the things you love.Lots of good things to ponder in this one.Until next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

I have another question for you?Do you have your own play money?  Some money set aside for those times when you want to say YES to something fun?Having your own play money allows you to easily say YES to the opportunities that come your way.BUT....I know how many stories we have wrapped around money, particularly when we are talking to our partner.So many things can come up.And even when we do have our own play money, we can often find ourselves justifying or restricting ourselves on how we spend it.It's ok to spend it on a book, but it's not ok to spend it on a weekend away.So our money for ourselves doesn't really feel fully free.This is where we go a little deeper, money can show you what you value, what's most important to you because you can always find money for that.It's also interesting to note that the money is there, but if we are not intentional about how we spend it, the next minute we are off buying fish and chips (now $60 for a family of 4!) and the money is gone again.Creating a special account for your play money will help you feel more free to use it on the things that are important to you.  Guilt freee!!!

With 23 episodes under our belt, we have been able to speak about some potent topics around getting yourself first on your list, or as we like to call it, moving from Mess to Yes. We are starting this year with a bang, getting straight into the nitty gritty with our topic of Permission.Episode 24. PermissionWe are currently speaking about Permission in our online Soul Presence Membership space and it was such a good chat, we thought we would bring it to the GYKG podcast community.Permission helps us to say YES to what it is we love.Sometimes it's the silent missing piece.   Helping us go from possibility to putting something in action!And who do we need it from?Usually it's ourselves.Giving ourselves permission is like getting a green light. It's time to go.We are no longer sitting in indecision, we have checked in with our yes and no, our decision has been made and we are good to go.I think giving yourself permission feels like a huge sigh.  A weight of your shoulders and you can just enjoy the next step forward.  It feels so much easier.But eventually when we get really good at giving ourselves permission, we can let go of that step and just say YES.I encourage you to fill in the gaps below..........Play around with it and see how it feels to complete the following sentence. I give myself permission to...... I give myself permission to......I give myself permission to.......Write it in the positive, or as I often say 'in towards language'.  This sentence is taking you towards what you want, so no, 'no more or not that's'.Something more like......  'I give myself permission to learn the cello'  (random but yes that was my permission giving sentence at the start of this year).If you are looking for a place that supports your Yes journey. Check out our Membership space, affordable for all women if they choose to create the space.We will keep you posted when the doors open next..... ( wink wink it's not toooo long away)While you are waiting for the doors to open join us over in the Facebook Group GYKG community and we can chat more there.Until next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

Your feelings matter and you get to feel them, and you get to explore them in a safe environment.Acknowledging and understanding your feelings and thoughts can be of great benefit not only to yourself but to the space you can hold for your LGBTQIA+ child.You can show up for your child as you will have more capacity and more tools to be a safe place as their thoughts and feelings arrive and they navigate their own journey. I love it when Tracy says that the struggle is real and so is the love, which is of course where her book begins. This is a book for everyone so we can all become an ally. xxYou can get your copy here:https://indigojourney.co/book/ and you can find Tracy here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracy.indigojourney/ Thanks for chatting with us Tracy xxUntil next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

How Supportive Spaces can help you say YES to YOU!We are so grateful to have Helene join in this episode!!!We chat all things self care in the bathroom!No really, there is so much more in this podcast....Helene beautifully shares her story with us, as we dive into how we can create supportive spaces in our lives as we journey to living the life that we desire.Setting up these supportive spaces in your life provides you with opportunities to continue to say YES to YOU, whilst filling up your cup of confidence to go out and grab those opportunities.  It's so important to have people in your corner.Supportive spaces, can be safe spaces to be seen and heard.  Here you can show up as you are, getting vulnerable as you continue to learn more about who you are. In safe spaces there is no judgement.    It can feel tricky at first to get vulnerable, but once you find the right space and the right people, it can be incredibly rewarding.I love that Helene and Mel both highlight the trust you need to have sometimes whilst finding your supportive space.  That it can feel a little awkward as you step into new places to see if they are a fit for you.Sometimes you just never know where a place will take you, so it's worth putting yourself out there, you are worth it. We have absolutely loved having Helene connect with us in Breathwork (She Breathes), Soul Presence Retreat and our Membership Space.  As well as being our friend of course. xxThanks for chatting with us Helene xxUntil next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568

You may have heard Mel mention in the podcast that she was very keen to start a Morning Ritual of her own. Luckily we had some time planned for a short getaway together, so we decided to play around with some ideas.It was so fun checking in with practices that light you up and weaving them together to create a magical space for yourself.I'm going to set the scene.  Picture this....Two women on the edge of a golf course, looking out across at the bay of water, sun is shining and the hint of a gentle breeze blowing (true story).We grabbed out a phone and pressed play on Christina Aguilera 'Fighter' and danced away!!  Mel then suggests we do squats, sit ups and star jumps and then out of the bushes we hear a man cheering us on from his backyard ha ha.  Tick 1st item done - Movement.   For Mel it was so important for her to move her body first before any other activity.Between the damp ground, the prickles and the possibility of being hit by a golf ball at any second, we found a spot and did a beautiful meditation from Insight Timer, which took us through the breath, calming of the body, compassion and an intention for our day.2nd item ticked. Stillness and Connection with the body.For the third activity Mel decided she was keen to journal.  Journaling works well after meditation as the mind is a little more quiet, and writing unfiltered can often bring some incredible awareness as you allow the words (your truth) to flow through.  Giving yourself space like this can often help you work through an issue or problem that has come up, but also can give freedom to possibilities around these issues.  Leaving you with a feeling of relief, feeling lighter, calmer, and more free.Do you are already have a morning Ritual?  Are you keen to start one?Let's chat more over in the Facebook group, would love to hear your shares.Until next time....Nat and MelFind Madhu athttps://www.facebook.com/Yogaforthepeople.online?mibextid=ZbWKwLHttps://Www.yogaforthepeople.onlineHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568Retreat websitehttps://www.soulpresenceretreats.com.au

Ha HaMel and I love a good conversation and this one is something special.In this episode we dive into how to bring the pieces together to support you to get out of the house to the BIG and small things.Rachel shares with you some of the things that you might be tussling with before you are ok to choose yourself and the things you love.  I love when she highlights the vulnerability hangover! The 'vulnerability hangover' can arrive after you have actually already said YES to yourself, and it's filled with doubt, unease, indecision, and can often show up questioning if it's ok for you to do the things you love.It might sound like this:"Am I really allowed to choose myself?"You might notice yourself starting to sabotage the activity through subtle ways as Rach so beautifully shares with you.She then moves through how she was able to RECLAIM what matters to her.And one of the first questions she asked was, 'What can we do to make this possible?'You can find Rachel and all her amazing offerings here:https://www.createvitality.com.auThanks for chatting with us Rach xxUntil next time,Nat and MelHead over to our Grab Your Keys and Go community for some juicy conversations around the topics of our podcastshttps://www.facebook.com/groups/1921054834941568
