We don’t often step back and really take a look at how we’re living our lives until something big happens. We lose someone or something important, we get sick, or a pandemic comes along. But life is for living now, and today I’m chatting with Kate Christie who believes that creating your life list could be the key to your health, happiness and true sense of fulfilment.

Kate is one of Australia's top time management experts, with clients that include the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and the European Union. She has taught thousands globally to save 30-plus precious hours of time per month, and how to use that to design and live their best lives. Katie is a bestselling author of five books, and her fifth book is called The Life List: Master Every Moment and Live An Audacious Life, a call to action for women who want more.

In today’s episode, Kate talks us through her own heart-breaking story of loss, which became a catalyst for her to take stock and decide how she really wanted to spend her life. She encourages us to work out what’s truly important to us and adopt practical frameworks that will make sure we live out all the desires we have for our lives.

Kate describes what a life list is and how it differs from a bucket list. Rather than creating a list of things we want to experience before we die - and often put off until then - a life list is full of goals to be lived out today, while we’re still young enough to achieve them.

We discuss the struggle women in particular have with prioritising their own lives and happiness, and Kate gives practical advice on how to find time to make a rewarding life list. This includes changing your language around being busy, and valuing yourself as though you were your most important client.

Kate talks about the process of time audits and shares the alarming results she’s seen within workplaces. We discuss the importance of filling our own cup so that we can show up as our very best selves, living out our ideal lives.

I just love Kate’s vulnerability and the incredible message she has to share. I hope this episode inspires you to really think about what’s important to you, and how you can ensure you’re living out your most meaningful life.

With me today is Brianna Ansaldo, Head Honcho and Founder of Bamby Media, a trailblazing podcast and video production agency. Not only that, but Brianna is also an award-winning songwriter, audio producer and musician. With a focus on creating meaningful stories, Brianna works closely with her clients, all 65 of them globally, to ensure their messaging is on point, branding is clear and digital content is engaging. Bamby Media produces this podcast that you’re listening to right now!

Over the eight years since launching Bamby Media, Brianna has helped hundreds of clients launch and grow their podcasts, with incredible results. As well as podcast and video production, Bamby Media has just launched an advertising and sponsorships arm (Bamby Network) and is kicking off a range of exclusive content creation retreats later in the year.

With a fully remote team, Brianna’s systems and processes are absolutely on point. Drawing on extensive experience in training and development, Brianna explains how she has built a resource hub complete with detailed training videos. She attributes this hub to not only allowing her to effectively run a fully distributed workforce but freeing her up to focus on other parts of her life and business.

Brianna shares how enabling her team to work autonomously has allowed her to focus on client strategy and, importantly, to rediscover who she is outside of work. It’s rare for someone to do this proactively, and it’s so inspiring to hear Brianna talk about how she has created space in her life for joy, fun and her first love, music. This approach also allows her to model creativity to her team and encourages us all to reclaim the silliness we often lose as adults.

Of course, sometimes business involves periods of intensive hard work, and Brianna reveals how she gets through these times and the ways she overcomes challenges in her business such as effective hiring.

Brianna is an inspiring business partner and all-round wonderful human and leader. You will feel so inspired and uplifted after listening to this incredible conversation - dive in!

My guest today is Zoe Macfarlane - creative writer, intuitive coach and energy healer. Zoe helps her clients shift limiting blocks and beliefs in order to strengthen their connection to their purpose, passion and spirituality. Her mission is to help people level up and open up to receive more magic daily.

I first met Zoe at the Eden Retreat in Queensland last year and I’ve been so keen to chat with her about the power of manifesting, particularly the ways it can level up leadership.

Zoe demystifies manifesting, explaining that it’s simply goal setting plus energy. Everything in the universe has frequency and vibration and Zoe reminds us of the simple power of spending some time visualising and imagining your ultimate goals.

We are always manifesting. Zoe explains the importance of a positive mindset and gratitude and gives us some tips on how to break free from ego and the negativity bias that we have in Western culture. Intuition also plays a big role in manifesting and Zoe gives us some tips on how to get better at listening to and acting on our intuition.

The universe always rewards bravery. Zoe reminds us how important it is to take action steps that feel good for you, even if they run off on an unbeaten path. Good manifesting centres around flow and surrender and Zoe explains that it’s important to let go of the drive to do everything yourself. If you’re allowing flow, you’re allowing yourself to be open to different places, people and things to help you get what you want

How do leadership and manifesting interact? We discuss the power of positivity and bravery when leading by example. Zoe also shares a trick that will help you take control of your energy and not let others drag it down.

Zoe also shares her top three tops for manifesting - they are brilliant!

If you’ve always wanted to try manifesting and haven't been sure where to start, or you’d like some tips on how to reach that next level of success in life and business, this conversation is what you’ve been waiting for!
