"You're The Average Of The Five People You Spend The Most Time With" - Jim Rohn It is so important to surround yourself with people who lift you up, expect a high standard from you and bring out the best version of yourself. Otherwise, you find yourself accepting less. Less from yourself, less from others and eventually you find yourself unhappy in life, love and career.

"Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more" - Tony Robbins Monday, November 13th is World Kindness day. Would you consider yourself to be a kind person? Would you consider yourself to be friendly, generous and considerate? On today's episode, we take the opportunity to delve into the benefits of kindness, how we hold ourselves back from giving or being generous, how we can be kind on a daily basis, and to self reflect. Benefits of Kindness research was taken from the site: www.randomactsofkindness.org/the-science-of-kindness Kindness can increase the hormone of love, energy, happiness, your lifespan, pleasure and stimulates the production of serotonin. Kindness also decreases pain, stress, anxiety, depression and blood pressure. Hope you enjoy today's episode!

Do you find yourself judging yourself and other people on a regular basis? Is this a pattern we play or is it just being human? On today's episode, I talk about the effect judging others can have on ourselves and those around us. We talk about what is happening in the brain when we choose to judge others and how we can change our perspective to respect, learn and grow through judging others. Dr Wayne Dyer once said, "Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances." When we judge other people we close the opportunity for awareness and growth, connection and love. How can you look at the Whole person not just the surface value? What can I learn about the person I am judging? What makes them unique and interesting? What is my reaction telling me about myself? Am I noticing this in another person because I notice this within myself?

In today's episode, I had the privilege to interview Kylie Lowe, founder of Joining Hands Australia. I met Kylie in 2016 when I signed up to become a GiveBack Ambassador for Joining Hands to assist in providing wellness services to the homeless and vulnerable of Brisbane. Through these amazing give back days, where I helped provide Haircuts (I am a qualifiaed Hairdresser) to homeless youth, I got to know Kylie and her mission to connect on a deeper level to these vulnerable people. We talk about how she has overcome massive health challenges to be able to know that she is here for a reason and to be a voice to those who are voiceless on the streets of Australia. Kylie started out in 2009 giving wellness clinics to women and children for free and has developed a sustainable business where she invites other passionate business owners to become a part of the social impact she is creating. Kylie says, she started out with a vision and a dream  and with no business knowledge, she surrounded herself with successful people and looked for constant support to be able to make her mission possible. Through creating strong connections with these young people, Kylie understands the importance of creating kind and giving business relationships and how being aware of your inner narrative through mindfulness is a great way to keep you on purpose.
