We explore her family’s personal journey of living with a life-threatening food allergy after her youngest son’s frightening experience and diagnosis shortly before seven months of age. Already a registered nurse, Simone decided to pursue counselling due to the lack of support and awareness of the mental health aspect surrounding an allergy diagnosis and the impact this has on life for the individual and family.

In today’s conversation we also discuss some of the possible reasons behind the rising prevalence of food allergies. Most recently Simone has written her first book ‘Beyond the Allergy Diagnosis: A Guide to Understanding and Navigating the Emotional and Psychological Phases of Allergies’. Simone discusses how she wrote the book centred around the 8 phases of an allergy journey and how the book is written to provide practical tools and support to individuals and families.

   HHL, Jane Vandermeer and Personal Care Products that Support Us, Fast Fashion and Dressing for Confidence- Episode 10

   With people becoming more conscious of the benefits of lowering the amount of chemicals they are exposed to and searching for more ‘natural’ products, it is important to be discerning when choosing products. You see when a company begins with the aim of it being low tox or healthier or green, it is important to look at the motivation and ethics behind it. As our interview with researcher and business owner Jessica Kiely last month highlighted, manufacturers are clever at including some of the buzz words when describing their products in order to get your attention, without them necessarily being better or best for us. So it is not only difficult to filter through the jargon but it can also be notoriously time consuming when trying to access the information that helps us make informed choices. That’s why we couldn’t wait to introduce our listeners to our conversation guest, Jane Vandermeer. Founder of Intuitive Whispers, Jane’s product range are up there with the best on the market in terms of health and doing what they say they do. As a woman who has had a long and continued career in the fashion industry, she therefore knows what it is like to be on the go in high pressured environments and knows the need for products that perform. With her own journey with many breast scares, research into product development and her unwavering stance on keeping her products high quality, so they do what they say they do, she is an inspiration to feminine beauty. Beyond Jane’s divine range of personal care products, we believe it is important to highlight Jane’s expertise in the fashion industry where she still helps women as well. We enjoyed our conversation with the gorgeous Jane and are sure you will to. Join us for a chat about: Jane’s beginnings in fashion Women’s tendency to just ‘power through’ and ignore the whispers The importance of self-care for women What Jane takes from Eleanor Brayer Jane’s journey of suppressing the knowledge of toxins in personal care products due to the lack of alternatives that work Jane’s resulting breast lumps and heavy metal toxicity from the toxins in deodorants Jane’s message of being educated so you can make choices based on what sits ok with you Jane’s Breast Care deodorant and why it is a one of a kind product How Jane is actively supporting creatives and young women’s emotions as well as their personal care needs with her Young Woman Deodorant Jane’s product testing in different humidity’s and dedication to using what works Jane’s plan to support men too The Young Woman Deodorant’s angel wings and Jane’s special connection with her niece Jane’s love of French perfume and how that has inspired her to create her high-grade beautiful perfumes The benefit of purchasing the sample pack The inspiration for each of Jane’s perfumes “Pretty”, “Magnifique” and “Beauty” Jane’s nurturing work helping women and fashion Jane’s new monthly membership (opening Aug 2020) akin to an affordable ‘private stylist’ to support women further Jane’s realistic approach of focusing on our body shape and having key pieces as opposed to fast fashion Here are the links to Jane's divine products: Parfume Oils and Deodorants (https://www.ournewnormal.com.au/product-category/personal-care/) Head to our website for all the FULL show notes and links from today's podcast.

    HHL, Alexx Stuart and Going Low Tox - Episode 1

    Healthier Homes and Living Podcast Over the last decade you’ve probably heard the phrase ‘going Low Tox’, helping us launch our first podcast episode is creator of ‘Low Tox,’ educator & Low Tox coach, Alexx Stuart. Akin to us, Alexx has an inquisitive nature that needs to research and find out everything there is to know about her subject matter. It is therefore no surprise that she is recognised as a trusted authority on living a Low Tox life. Low Tox life started in 2009, initially as a blog centred around recipes, gf cooking and food ingredient awareness information. It has quickly grown from being a blog to include six e-courses, three smaller guide courses (i.e. going gluten free), Low Tox coaching course, her own podcast and a best-selling book. Links to Alexx’s courses are below. One of the many things we love about Alexx is her positive supportive nature. And if you have ever taken one of her courses you know what we mean. To quote her “Perfection doesn’t exist”. If you haven’t already delved into your Low Tox journey or you have started but what guidance on where to next, Alexx’s courses not only have something for everyone but you will be supported every step of the way.
