I had the absolute privilege to interview Sara Pahi for my Transform Your Wellness Podcast.
I met Sara a few weeks ago in Torquay when we went down the beach for an early morning dip in the ocean for some cold therapy. At the time my intuition told me that I wanted to know more about this woman as I felt she had an amazing fighting spirit. A few weeks later we connected via Zoom for this interview.
Sara is a mother, wife and she is currently studying to become a life coach.
She was diagnosed with a stage 3 breast cancer 2019 and have gone through 6 surgeries, including bilateral mastectomy & five months of chemotherapy.
She has 4 children (13-25). She is originally from New Zealand but has live in Australia the last 6 1/2years.
She’s worked in the health and fitness industry for most of her life and she was in the army reserve for a few years.
Sara has faced many challenges from mental health, suicide attempts, abuse and domestic violence, eating disorders and cancer.
Sara has learnt from every experience and she believes that she would not be the woman she is today without these experiences.
Sara’s passion now is to help others to connect to their potential and live life from there.

My diffuser has had a big "workout" this week. It has been on most of the day in my office.
My favourite blend this week was one I called the "Fresh Energy" Blend.
It had 3 drops of Purification, 3 drops of Lime, 2 drops of Spearmint and 2 drops of Lemon grass.
Wow! This blend made my room smell so amazing and I help energised.
Definitely a lovely combination.

Simple Guide to Starting your Essential Oil Journey.
What an incredible sunrise we had here in Torquay, Australia this morning. It was the best one I have ever seen and it made Winter Solstice extra special. 💕
I went for my morning walk and took some photos. I also made the short video below. Enjoy watching it.
Here are also some photos that I took.
They are pretty spectacular. No filter or anything adjusted, just as it was. Stunning!
Winter Solstice is a powerful time. It's a closing of one chapter and a beginning of a new one. But before you do, take the time to contemplate your immortality and forgive. Then make a fresh start and Awaken!!
Sending You Love and Light this power time on this planet,

Today I received a new parcel to my front door and I have been so excited about receiving this one. Firstly because it's got my favourite single essential oil in it - Northern Lights Black Spruce and secondly because this oil reminds me about my home country Sweden. I used to spend time in the forest with this smell and it's divine and so grounding.
This essential oil blend has also got Peppermint, Cedarwood and Orange in it.
I have it diffusing in my office and the moment and it smells amazing. I am feeling uplifted, happy and I also feel that things will be fine. 😀
Comment Below to find out how you can get this oil into your home.

Some ways you can use this crystal is by wearing it as Jewellary or by carrying a stone or incorporating it into your space. Wearing Citrine in the form of jewelry is a powerful way to connect with the stone’s energy throughout the day. Your citrine necklace, bracelet or earrings can remind you to choose happiness, and to tap into the light and positive energy that is always available to you. Some people like to carry a Citrine in their wallet or purse or pocket to allow you to bring some positive energy wherever you go. I like holding this crystal in my hand if I feel down as I feel this helps to raise my vibration and to fill myself with positive energy. You can also place some citrine in your home, this gives you a good reminder to be happy. It can act as a source of positive energy and good vibes. I also love using Citrine when I set intentions such as "I choose to be happy". I also love carrying Citrine with me or wearing it to enhance manifestation and to create Abundance.
Natural citrine will very rarely ever grow in clusters like amethyst, so when you see a yellow, orange, crystal in a cluster formation, it is most likely a form of heat-treated amethyst. Another way to tell is if the root of the crystal is white but the tip is an orange or yellow color. The only chemical difference between Amethyst and Citrine is the oxidized state of the iron impurities. Naturally occurring Citrine is quite rare, which is the result of natural heat and pressure applied to Amethyst over a very long period of time. ... Ametrine contains the healing properties of both Amethyst and Citrine.
I feel like a treat tonight, so I decided to make some healthy Vegan Nachos. These are delicious!
