Self Love Podcast

In this inspiring episode, Kim chats with Courtney Dow, a mother of three from the Sunshine Coast, who shares her journey from corporate life to building a thriving essential oils business through network marketing.

Together, Kim and Courtney explore the struct...

In this Self Love Quicky, we explore grief as a non-linear, wave-like process that is deeply connected to our brain’s wiring for attachment. We look at how grief can feel physically painful, describing it as “love with nowhere to go,” yet also holding the potential for profound transformation. There are practical strategies for navigating grief, including creating meaningful rituals, moving the body, connecting with nature, and usi...

‘I see the gratitude and I see the light and I see Lauren every day in our beautiful Lucinda. And as much as it is sad, and it’s hard, and it hurts, there’s great days and there’s terrible days, I am still very grateful for the time I had with Lauren and the connection I had, still have with her through Lucinda and through this energy that I’m still learning about, this unknown that’s there and the words she said to me, the knowled...

In this episode, we explore what it really means to commit to yourself – not just in the easy moments, but in the deep, intentional work that transforms how you see yourself, how you show up, and how you create your life. This is about curiosity, self-awareness, and courage. It’s about uncovering the beliefs and patterns that shape us, and learning how to release what no longer serves. If you’re ready to step into clarity, confiden...

‘I believe life is one thing. It’s not professional life and personal life – it’s one thing. It’s got a very clear starting point and an incredibly clear ending point as well and everything in between is just life. I do very much look at the whole person. And I love the fact I am going to die. Because it makes me live.’ ~ Mick Todd

In this powerful and inspiring episode, Kim connects with global leadership coach Mick Todd, founder ...

In this week’s Quicky we’re diving into something pretty powerful – Tony Robbins’ 6 Human Needs – and how understanding them can radically transform your relationship with self-love. Tony teaches that we’re all driven by six basic human needs. These aren’t just wants – they’re needs, wired into our psychology. And the way we meet them – positively or negatively – shapes our happiness, health, and yes… our capacity for self-love.

Al...

‘Life can give us these horrible bolder moments that make decisions that we are sort of forced into change. Or we can say, hey I am going to create some change myself, some positive change and shake things up. So that, Universe or Light whatever you want to call it doesn’t do it for us. And there are Japanese concepts that I love and it’s called Kensho and Satori. And so, for those listening who have not heard of it which I heard m...

Today’s Quicky is a gentle, powerful reflection on change – the kind we fight, the kind we learn to accept, and the kind we bravely choose to create. Whether you’re in the midst of a life shift or simply feeling the undercurrent of something new, this conversation is here to hold you. We explore the science of how change affects the brain and body, the emotional rollercoaster that can come with it, and the sacred self-care tools yo...

‘I mean it’s awful to have to go through them, but if I hadn’t gone through any of them, I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So, as painful as it is, you can’t have light without the dark, a rainbow without the rain, you just know you the more you avoid the dichotomies the more it’s going to be drawn to you, so I really am grateful for it. But the way I got through it was probably just having such a reassurance in myself and backi...

In this week’s Quicky we explore the powerful connection between smell and emotions, and how smell bypasses the thinking brain to influence the limbic system and affect memory and attraction. Our sense of smell can be dulled by pollution and synthetic fragrances, but we can do exercises like using essential oils to reset and retrain our sense of smell. We explore the power of the daily aromatic body boost ritual using essential oil...

‘The N8 Self, again it stands for our higher nature – N8 – it has eight characteristics, But, it has some qualities outside of characteristics and one of those qualities is – it is both individual and universal. So, it’s something I have, but it’s something you have, we all have this aspect of self. That is our being, that is our essence, the energy in our life. And I wanted to be sure that it was tangible, so how do we break it do...

In this week’s Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, we are talking all about the beauty and power of celebration – why it matters, how it transforms us, and why even the smallest gesture can create lasting memories. From the science behind feel-good neurochemicals to the soulful art of presence, we can see that birthdays, weddings, graduations, and everyday moments are sacred opportunities to honour life and love. There are a few oil b...

‘Just have really open honest communication with your kids, don’t shy away from subjects. Don’t shy away from conversations. I really try to maintain that with my own kids to not really make anything taboo with them. I want to have really open conversations. I know some parents might be awkward talking about teenage suicide and self-harm, those kind of mental health and emotional concerns that we have with the youth. But don’t be s...

In this week’s Quicky we explore the concept of balancing masculine and feminine energies, and how these archetypal forces manifest in every one of us regardless of gender and the characteristics associated with each. We look at how imbalance between these energies can lead to various negative feelings and certain essential oils we can use as a tool to reconnect. We talk daily practices to help activate and integrate both energies,...

‘My Dad right now has been diagnosed with some hardening of the arteries in his heart, and it looks to be pretty serious. I don’t want to make this morbid, but I got a real sense of mortality very quickly. But I feel like this is the same sort of thing. I am pretty sure he is a healthy man, he will be fine, but I think the word is ‘acceptance’. Rather than being scared or not really dealing with it, I know this is a part of life, t...

In this week’s episode we dive into something that affects us all at some point – self-sabotage. That inner voice that tells you you’re not ready, not good enough, or makes you hesitate just when you’re about to shine. We take a look at the neuroscience behind why we do this, how to shift out of those limiting patterns, and some powerful, nurturing rituals to help you reconnect to your truth. No matter where you are at this show is...

‘Food became a lot more than just food for me. It became my… the word ‘friend’ comes to mind. It became the thing that was there when I was in a lonely space or if I was in a vulnerable space. I never knew (and as you know with the work that we’ve done) it’s all about understanding the unconscious. I never knew any of that. I never understood what was going on. All I knew was that I had this problem and I never knew how to stop it ...

In today’s Quicky, we’re talking about a feeling most of us know all too well – overwhelm. That heavy sense of “too much,” when life feels like it’s piling on and your mind just can’t keep up. Whether it’s juggling family, work, health, or just the day-to-day demands of being human, overwhelm can leave us feeling anxious, foggy, and frozen. But what if I told you that overwhelm is not a sign of failure – it’s simply a signal? A mes...

‘If you don’t tie everything to what you deep down want, you don’t have the drive to move forward. And this is with everyone not just coaches, just in life. If you’re currently feeling like you’re just stuck and meh, and what am I doing, find someone to help you work out your values or work them out yourself. An easy way is to ask yourself, ‘If I had all the money in the world what would I do?’ That’s one of the easiest ways to fig...
