As we have now come up for air after the very big season of buying, selling and moving house between November 2022 and March 2023, I thought I'd share some of the lessons I learned through the process.

I don't think I've been quite so tired since I had small children! It was a very big job, but I'm grateful that we've found our dream home and can now settle into this next phase of family life.

In this episode, I'll share some behind-the-scenes of the journey from buying a house off-market, to preparing our home for sale, selling at auction and moving into our new home. I'll also share 10 of the life lessons I learned along the way - which are not real estate specific, so hopefully you can take away what's important for you if you're facing your own big project or transition.

Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist, Coach and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why’. Her curiosity has lead her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire and now business owner.

Mel Daniels is a Content Strategist, Coach and Speaker who loves to understand ‘why’. Her curiosity has lead her on an interesting life journey from academic achiever to corporate leader, mum extraordinaire and now business owner.

Mel’s purpose is to teach and empower women who want more from their business, on how to use content in a powerful way. She gives them the confidence they need to become more visible, seen as the expert that they are and inspired to take their business to the next level.

Mel is  probably one of the most organised people I know, so I really wanted to have a conversation about how she plans for the year ahead.

In this conversation, Mel and I discussed:

• why she loves to reflect on the year that has passed before launching into the new year, and the ways she does that
• Mel's six step process for setting goals for the year ahead, from big vision down to tangible tasks
• the software Mel uses to keep track of her tasks and how she reviews progress on her goals
• the importance of family conversations and how Mel's son learned that achieving his big dream was possible
• what goal Mel is working on this year, and how to call in the right support for achieving your goals

When she’s not talking about content and client journeys, you will find Mel cheering on her clients from the sidelines. Her other favourite hangouts are the kitchen and gym. Luckily her love of dead-lifting counteracts the amount of baking she consumes. Kind of.

In December 2020, in episode 26 of the Mummalove podcast, I had a conversation with my nephew, Tyler Mitchell, and his mum Naomi, about their journey as a family of Tyler coming out as a transgender man. I’m so delighted that it is the most downloaded episode that we’ve ever shared.

In this episode, I’m talking to the now 18 year old Tyler about what has changed for him and in the world over the past two years, all the exciting things he’s looking forward to after leaving school, and how it feels to show up in the world as your true, authentic self. 

Everyone has different perspectives to offer the world, and Tyler has shared his perspective as a young Australian, recent high school graduate, a transgender man and a lover of literature. His aim is to leave this world a better place than he found it through advocacy, education and respect.

Franceska Jordan is an internationally recognised counsellor, speaker, author and healer, as well as a mother and grandmother. In her life, she has worked extensively in Africa, Europe, Latin America, Asia and India and was awarded the Australian Medal (AM) in the Order of Australia Day Award for her work with the aged, community care, disability and mental health. 

After retiring from her life’s work in the health industry, Franceksa completed her memoir, Under The Boab Tree, which has recently been released. This is a story of love, abuse, loss and exile, as well as one of hope and inspiration. Franceska is dedicated to sharing her and her mother’s story to honour their journey of being tenacious survivors who choose to live with a loving heart.

In this conversation, Franceska and I discussed:

• The journey of writing 'Under the Boab Tree' and the village required to write a book
• Experiencing a traumatic childhood in South Africa with a violent father, a mother largely absent due to her political activism, and being introduced to the spirit world through the love of her nanny, Regina
• Having a younger sister with Down syndrome and how that has influenced Franceska's work with the aged, community care, disability and mental health 
• Franceska's connection to nature and how that weaves in to her self-care
• Her experience of motherhood and how it was influenced by her childhood, and how the family began their new life in Australia.

Franceska now resides amongst her beloved trees in Queensland, Australia. 

You can connect with Franceska through her website at https://www.franceskajordan.com.au/, on Instagram @fj_authorpage or on Facebook @franceskajordanauthor

"Boaboa - pronounced ‘Bow-a-Bow-a’ - is the name given to a real tree—the Baobab—that imparts wisdom to a growing child in a South African garden. This stirring memoir traverses Africa and Australia following the Speer-Jordan family, who fled persecution and poverty in Varniai, Lithuania, to South Africa. The political machinations they witnessed in that time in South Africa changed the women forever in this unusual family. As the story unfolds, Isabella and Franceska’s tenacity and courage surface as they prove to be hardy and, at times, seemingly indestructible with their strong roots."

You can buy Under the Boab Tree through Franceska's website, on Avid Reader, Amazon, and in selected bookstores.

"I was born from the strong, tangled roots of the tree of life, as was my mother and grandmother before me.” ~ excerpt from Under the Boab Tree

Jolinda Johnson is an award-winning Certified Life Coach, Wellness Mentor and Priestess who specializes in burnout and perimenopause. She’s obsessed with helping changemakers and revolutionaries get their spark back so they can go set the world on fire. She wants to change the narrative around perimenopause and give attention to the voices that are typically left out of the conversation, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people under 45.

After originally hearing Jolinda on a podcast a few years ago and then following her on social media, I’ve learned so much from her and really wanted to share her with you too! 

In this conversation, we talked about:

• What led Jolinda from studying at Columbia University, destined for law school, into becoming a Wellness Mentor and Priestess, living in Spain.
• What it means to be a Priestess
• How Jolinda started supporting clients in Perimenopause and what she wishes all women knew about Perimenopause.
• Being the single Mum to an 8 year old son and how motherhood has changed Jolinda, including her new perspective on her relationship with her father.
• Jolinda’s passion for shopping, and other ways she takes care of herself and finds joy.
• The best parts of being in midlife.

Jolinda is originally from Detroit, Michigan but earned her B.A. from Columbia University in New York City and completed her Master’s of Science in Education as part of the NYC Teaching Fellows program at Pace University in 2006. For the last thirteen years she’s made her home in Barcelona, Spain, and she lives there with her son and two dogs.

Jolinda is a sought-after guest on podcasts such as My Daily Business Coach, The Female Wellness Hub, and The Priestess Podcast, has been featured on the cover of Inspired Coach magazine, and was the recipient of the Beautiful You Coaching Academy CEO Shine Award in 2021. She’s also taken to the stage as a motivational speaker for other life coaches and can be found on the popular website Healthline.

You can connect with Jolinda through her website: https://jolindajohnson.com/

Or follow her on Instagram @coachjolinda or Facebook.

Susan Pearse is a three times best selling author, founder of Mind Gardener and business expert who is passionate about motivating people to trust their intuition, think differently, lead consciously, and let life guide them to fulfilment.

Susan's life purpose hasn’t always been clear. Her wake-up call came in the form of a quarter-life crisis, which sent her on the first of many worldwide searches for answers. A shopping trip to New York led to a chance meeting with His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, and the first hint of her life’s purpose. She’s explored everything from quantum physics and neuroscience, to philosophy and eastern traditions, and even qualified as a kundalini yoga teacher.

‘Spiritually Loose’, released in August 2022, is Susan’s fourth book and tells the story of this search and exploration. Initial reviews have described it as “raw, honest and ground breaking.”

In this conversation, Susan and I discussed:

• The story behind the title ‘Spiritually Loose’ and how it came to Susan well before the book was written
• How darkness is relevant to our search for light, and the importance of sitting with our emotions
• Making peace with our bodies and how being ‘in our bodies’ fits in with spiritual practices
• Bringing an energy of joy to our work to our business and how that impacts success more than number of hours worked
• The simple ways Susan looks after herself and finds joy,
• And the importance of 80s music.

To buy Susan's book, Spiritually Loose, you can access via her website, Amazon, Booktopia and all good bookstores.

You can connect with Susan through her website: www.susanpearse.com, as well as on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn.

As an almost-20 year old, Marta Bukowska left her homeland of Poland for a "short" visit to see a friend in the US, seeking freedom and adventure, and quickly fell in love with the bustling city of NY (and a man). 

20 something years later, she still lives in New York with her second husband and two boys. With her eldest son now finished high school, she’s started reigniting her dream of adventures in Costa Rica.

In this conversation, Marta and I discussed her two different experiences of motherhood raising sons who are 12 years apart and surrendering into the expansion of motherhood. We also discussed how Marta was able to follow the Universe nudges from being in chaos to leading a purpose-driven life and the first steps she took.

Marta is a certified wellness and life coach and founder of the multi-modality coaching practice, Mind Body and Purpose. She supports her clients through principles of mindset, emotional intelligence, embodiment, holistic nutrition, and movement to create a vibrant life on their terms.

Fleur Chambers is a multi award-winning internationally recognised meditation teacher, and creator of The Happy Habit app. She is also the newly published author of her first book, Ten Pathways: A Framework for Redefining Happiness.

In this conversation, Fleur and I discussed:

• how winning a business award spurred on Fleur's journey to becoming an author, how she approached creating her first book and how she is choosing to celebrate
• using meditation as a tool for social change, the evolution of her business into a social enterprise, and who Fleur needs to be to make that happen
• Fleur's experience of being ill with long Covid, making space to receive and trust clues and signs from the world, listening to our bodies and embracing synchronicities
• Offering ourselves grace in the transitions in those 'moments in between' 
• Moments when you have to reflect on your own identity without the peripheral 'stuff' in our lives.

Claire Devine was born in Toulouse, France and grew up in an art gallery space in Brisbane, Australia. A classical musician and high school teacher, she started painting as a way to pass the evening hours while her handsome Irish husband, Seamus, was away for work.

Claire took a break from her regular work when Seamus became ill and their infant son was diagnosed with partial blindness. This break allowed the family to reprioritise, focus on each other and give energy to Claire’s painting. As popularity for Claire’s work grew, The New Devine quickly evolved from a painting pass time into a serious, full-time business.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The great love story between Claire and her flatmate-turned-husband, Seamus
• Why Claire moved from being a teacher to artist, and the challenges and joys of being a business owner and primary income earner for the family.
• Being Mum to three gorgeous boys, two of whom have Albinism, and how Claire and Seamus have navigated the diagnosis so far
• Whether it’s possible to live a good life after dealing with a long list of curve balls, how Claire finds joy in the little things, and trying to find moments of self-care in this busy season of life.

And there’s special mention of our mutual friend, Matt Hawkins, and his album ‘Love, Loss & Washing Lines’.

You can find Claire and her vibrant Australian artwork over on her website, The New Devine, on Instagram or Facebook.

Kylie Holmes is a Past Life Healer and Intuitive Coach for big-hearted women, light workers and leaders. Known for her grounded, magnetic energy and her powerful intuitive guidance, Kylie holds her clients in unconditional love, which allows them to dive into the depths and come home to their truth. Her clients often describe working with her as transformational, magical, life changing, validating and more often than not, a little bit weird (in the best of ways, of course). 

In this episode, we talk about:

• The evolution of Kylie personally and in business over the past ten years, and the self-trust required through these transitions
• Discovering and tapping into our intuition, embracing our spiritual gifts and following those intuitive nudges even when it doesn’t feel easy or comfortable
• The spiritual practices that helped Kylie navigate grief and allowed the space for important conversations with her Nan in her final months, and the connections that continue beyond earthly relationships
• What self-care looks like for Kylie and understanding that ‘movement’ can be different for everyone (and we can ‘walk ourselves’ even if we don’t have a dog )
• The practices that help Kylie be in her body, especially when she’s feeling a bit nervous
• Celebrating being part of the sisterhood and embracing collaboration over competition

Kylie loves to chat in Instagram, so send her a DM at @kylieholmes_ and keep an eye out for her offerings on her website. You can also listen to Kylie's podcast, Leading Lightworkers: Raw & Unfiltered.
