Episode 68 - Letting Go Of The Past In Order To Live In The Now
12/04/2021 Duration: 24minWelcome to the latest Monday Motivational episode brought to you by Emilia. In this episode, Emilia talks about letting go of the past to be fully able to live in the present. As business owners, mums and women we can forget to be present and miss out on so much. We look to the future to plan and work on our business and we look to the past to evaluate or even (in the worse moments) relive our mistakes over and over. By letting go of the past, by forgiving ourselves or choosing to move on - we can live completely and fully in the now and enjoy every moment of our journey. Emilia reads a small extract from her book - "It's Your Life" to demonstrate how we can choose to let go. We hope you enjoy this episode and appreciate any comments or feedback on this topic.

Episode 59 - The Power Of The Pause
01/02/2021 Duration: 29minEmilia and Kyla are back and are welcoming you all in to 2021! This week they are kicking it off with a Monday Motivational episode about a simple practice they have been doing over the Christmas and New Year break which has re-ignited their motivation as they dive into the New Year. As you may have all noticed the podcast took a 4 week break over the festive season so both Kyla and Emilia could spend some time not only with their respective families but also time for themselves, so incredibly important. As you all know they are all about pushing the boundaries, striving for more and their continuous motto has always been "live your best life" but in order to do this they too need to take a little pause. What they realised is that there is so much power when it comes to doing this, taking some time out to reflect, journal and take a look at how the previous year felt. Now they know 2020 was a year like not other so the focus was not on what went wrong, instead what went right! So powerful! In this episode you
