Breaking Beige NZ

This week, we regroup after the school holidays and start to think about term four - which as we all know is the lead up to X M A S…!!! We talk gifting, traditions, and how we need to get our shit together; standard for us!!

This week, we discuss SEX. ...not the sex we have but how we approch the topic when talking to our kids. How much information is too much? When is it not enough? And what kind of education will they get if we don't talk to them? FULL DISCLOSURE: we probably don't have any of the correct answers to these questions but you know we love an overshare and hope you have a laugh along the way! Nuts and seeds for the win in this episode - enjoy!

In this weeks episode, we discuss overwhelm and pressure - work, kids, relationships, anxiety and what other people think of us. A vulnerable but important topic that affects many of us as we try to strike the "balance" in a busy life.

This weeks’ episode features Special Guest Fitstop Trainer, Caity Williamson. We chat to Caity about her career, body building competitions and she shares her hot tips about how to train as a female and as a busy mum. Caity is a powerhouse of knowledge and we loved having her on the poddy. Kate heard us say “exercise” so she popped on her hottest @p.e.nation outfit and hightailed it for the door (nah jokes, she was on childcare duty - love ya Kate )

This week, we discuss goals - personal ones, professional ones and everything in between. We talk about how we go about achieving what we want in life and when it's ok to muddle and enjoy the "now". Side note: it's ALWAYS ok to muddle and live in the "here and now".

In this episode, we chat with Holistic Health Coach and friend, Becca Smith of The Well Being Becca is a beautiful human (inside and out) is an absolute powerhouse of knowledge when it comes to everything health and well-being and Becca most certainly walks the talk, she’s also got a wicked sense of humour on her (and you know we’re all about that!!), and she makes a MEAN sweet treat that is nutritious AND delicious - which we gobbled up in .2 seconds. Get ready for some goodness and practical wellness advice from Becca, sure to power us all up out of the winter slump!!

This week we have a very special guest at the table! We have the legendary Monique Neeson from ShearWarmth joining us, sharing her story about how she turned her wool woes into a cracking business on her family farm. Monique is truly an inspiration both as a wife and mother, but also as a business woman. Having already been featured on Country Calendar, Sunday and Seven Sharp, we were pretty lucky to have her grace us with her fabulous presence, but it’s her views on parenting, marriage and business that really got us excited. Have a listen to her story, and her very special advice on keeping the spark alive and making big decisions in the household! Massive thank you to Monique for taking the time to hang at the table with us.

It's a slightly heavier episode this week, as we get vulnerable and each share a trauma or event that we have experienced in the past. We go a little bit deeper into the things that have had a big impact on the way we live our lives. We'd like to acknowledge that there are many different levels and types of trauma that people go through. It doesn't matter how big or small, if it has had an impact on you, it's valid. We hope this episode sparks a conversation with someone you love and/or someone you trust to talk through your experiences and trauma(s).

This week, we dive a little deeper into the highs and lows of being a mum. Feeling stuck, recreating a wardrobe that make us feel good and what it means to treat our partners and those close to us with kindness and understanding during stressful times. We hope you enjoy!
