17 JAN 2019 · Today we're discussing fad diets – we're all used to hearing about all the different new and fantastic, life changing, diets and detoxes.
But do these things have downsides to them? What might they be?
We all want to be a part of the latest and greatest weight-losing life-improving fad diet, but at what cost and how can we do it better and without actually causing damage to ourselves?
Listen to us discuss the many upsides to all of these detoxes and diets, as well as the downsides and what we should pay attention to if we do decide to go for one of them.

11 JAN 2019 · Today's episode is more emotional than usual. Emotional but so important!
Today Maya will share the story of her friend, Florry, who was killed while crossing the road on her way to pick up her son from kindergarten. We decided to dedicate this episode to discussing the importance of being mindful of what we're doing, and to NOT using your phone while you're driving.
Our behavior has consequences, we mustn't forget that. Whether it happens to have a direct affect on us or others, we have to remember that we are a part of society and the things we do affect others – be it our own core family, or others in our community and even people we'll probably never meet. Be responsible

9 APR 2018 · It's time to pull out your notes from January, and take a moment to seriously consider your progress when it comes to achieving your dreams!
Before you set out to do this though, keep in mind one important fact: the goals you set for yourself – they are yous and yours alone.
No one else gets to judge you for the speed at which you achieve them. This process is 100% FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL BENEFIT.
In setting your goals for the year: Were you overly optimistic? Were you not optimistic enough? Are your goals still your goals? What progress have you made? What have you achieved that you never planned? Which are the areas of your life that still require work?
In this episode, we discuss the merit of taking a moment to check in with your goals!
Maya, Xx

27 FEB 2018 · Why are deadlines so important when it comes to setting goals for ourselves? What, if anything, would we achieve or aspire to if we knew we would live forever?
Today we discuss this and see how giving ourselves deadlines, framing our aspirations and goals can make a huge impact on how, and whether or not, we are able to achieve them.

18 FEB 2018 · How do you react when a relationship you're in ends?
Personally, I have been known to mope around with my friends Ben and Jerry.
Not today's guest though. Sasha broke up with her boyfriend at the time and found inspiration.She decided to use her dark sense of humor, and make herself a break-up card to cheer herself up. Guess what? Since that breakup, she's sold over 30,000 cards!
They're not just for breakups mind you, they're for all sorts of occasions when you just need a good laugh. They're the things you'd like to say to the people you love, all dressed up as pretty cards!
That's why (after over a year of stalking her online) we're super excited to be chatting with Sasha from cheekyzebra.com about the importance of laughing at yourself and at the people you love (good-naturedly of course…) and how to turn this into a successful business as well!
BTW, I'm really sorry about the weird sentence cut-offs in this episode, honestly, Georgie, my dog, who looks a bit like a Tasmanian devil (and nothing like Taz) got upset and barked a few times while we were recording – which took our conversation in weird directions and there was no good way to edit it into a seamless transition. We decided to embrace the imperfection…
Love,
Maya Xx

1 FEB 2018 · You are an inspiration to others. Whether you know it or not, this is the truth. You have the power to inspire others in every action you take and every decision you make.
Your kindness has the ability to ripple through the world, changing lives for the better far beyond you may at first imagine. For this to happen though, you need to be inspired yourself.
You need to be able to see the beauty to pass it on, you need to be able to keep an open mind to be able to find what you need. There's a verse from a poem we had hanging up on a wall when we were kids, that I memorised and goes:
"To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."
-William Blake
You need to find a way to do things that inspire you every single day. Seriously. Look for flowers, play with your kids, watch the sunset, listen to music, cook, knit, dance… whatever it is that allows all the crazy ideas questions and thoughts to pop into your mind. It's what feeds your soul.
Before you even think you don't have time for this nonsense, listen carefully: you can't afford not to spend time doing these things. It's these things that allow your growth, happiness, ability to love and which make your inner unicorn sparkle.
Love,
Maya, Xx

25 JAN 2018 · We have so many things in our life to be thankful for and happy about =)
In today's episode we discuss our circles of influence, which are always around us and for better or worse, have a substantial effect on how we see ourselves, our lives, our achievements… We discuss the two types of people we have around us – the ones we should keep close, but separate ourselves from and the ones we should not keep close but still do for various reasons.
There are people we decide, for reasons that probably make sense at the time but are, in actuality, not founded in reality but in our own inner insecurities, to separate ourselves from – because they're just so good/talented/clever/whatever other excuses we give ourselves, that we can't compete with them.
There are also people, who – again – for what seems like good reasons, are close to us but are really not very supportive, not there for us, not contributing anything positive or good to our lives and yet are still there. These people make sure we stay in our ‘box', they keep us in this place where we are insecure, low in confidence….
Tune in to listen to our tips on how to tell these people apart and how to keep the positive people in and the negative people out!
Another little step in the right direction =)
We hope you enjoy!!
P.S. Got Maya to contribute her art for today's podcast image – what do you think??

18 JAN 2018 · Sometimes in life you are forced to make a choice- are you going to survive this or are you going to try your best to thrive with this. That's what we're talking about in this interview with Gemma Boak, from www.thisscientistsays.com with you.
Gemma was diagnosed at six years old with psoriasis and spent her life getting to know her condition, when at age thirty her condition changed, and she had to start all over again. She had a choice to make- and she decided to thrive.
She's started a website and blog all about empowering people suffering with the condition to educate themselves, find support and a sense of community, and take charge of their health and well-being - now that's something we are fully supportive of!
This podcast episode is longer than we usually do because it is absolutely fascinating and we felt we learned so much in this interview! Also, Gemma is such a sweetheart we enjoyed chatting with her too much to cut it off...
Here are a few of the things we discussed in passing 🙂
* A great cookbook called - Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking  by Samin Nosrat.
* A great show on Netflix called Lovesick (and interesting ideas to help Maya's dating life).
*
Psoriasis support organisations:
https://www.psoriasis.org
https://www.psoriasis-association.org.uk
*
Gemma's favourite online community for help and support (they have separate communities for most chronic diseases)Â https://www.inspire.com
And there was so so much more!
To vote if you're interested to get the Psoriasis podcast going (or request specific guests!)  head over to her Facebook page and like the post and if you want to keep up to date you can like the page too 🙂 If you want to connect with her further, she tends to hang out on Instagram and Twitter @Gemma_Boak and she'd love to see you there!
Also, just a reminder, it's not too late to join our Facebook group to enjoy daily affirmations and love all through January 🙂
Love, Maya Xx

11 JAN 2018 · How many of us feel overwhelmed by life more often than we care to admit? It's all too common to be talking about how stressed and tired we are, and instead of realising that's a sign for us to rethink our actions, we wear it is some kind of badge of honour.
We are constantly in competition to prove ourselves not only as worthy but as the best we can be, and that can become so utterly exhausting we may just burn out. We get bogged down in the details and lose track of the truth: that we're all imperfect beings just trying to do our best.
I know it's something we've brought up before in the podcast, how just getting organised can make a huge difference to our daily lives, but today we've got a real treat for you: this very special episode includes an interview with the lovely Hayley Forster from Simple Joy (www.simplejoy.co.uk).
We talk about with Hayley about how she quit her corporate job as a fragrance designer (which she assured me was nothing like in the book the perfume) to start her own business after her daughter was born, and she went through an incredible life-transforming journey of de-cluttering and self-discovery.
We talk about how decluttering can help you get more than your possessions under control, but also how to turn that process into a journey of self-acceptance and love.
If you want to join Hayley's 30-day decluttering challenge click here.
If you're still not part of the closed Facebook group where we're doing the positive affirmation challenge click here and join in the fun!
And I hope that you enjoyed this episode as much as I did...
