I can’t quite believe that it’s nearly two years since I started this podcast. I don’t know if you are like me, but I rarely ever stop to acknowledge my achievements, let alone share how I feel about them. But two years is incredible and I’m actually really proud of what I’ve created. I have had some truly beautiful conversations, and it fills me with so much joy to be able to share them with you. So in this very special episode, I’m recollecting some of my favourite pieces of advice and moments from the show, and I really hope that you enjoy it.

So to celebrate I’d like to do a special episode that will collate all the ways my guests and you my beautiful listeners, create your kindspaces. So I’d love to hear from you. Whether your kindspace is something you’ve always gravitated towards, or something you’ve started doing more recently, I’d love to hear your stories and how it helps you to feel more centred and balanced. Perhaps you’ve even been inspired to try something after listening to one of my guests talk about their work or how they create their kindspace. I’d love to also see your pictures too, perhaps you have a favourite spot in your home or maybe you love the outdoors, maybe you love Munro bagging, or listening to live music, or spending time with family. If you have pictures that show us that kind of insight into what lights you up. It would bring me so much joy to see your smiling faces.

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us. Sometimes I get so fed-up trying to figure out what to eat and after I’ve looked after everyone else, I just don’t have the physical or mental energy to meet my own needs. If you’ve ever said this, I have the perfect guest for you. Dr Monica Gostic is a dear friend of mine. Not only is she an incredible scientist and teacher, she’s also an award-winning businesswoman and champion powerlifter. So keep listening to find out more about how stress impacts our physical wellbeing and how a lifestyle medicine approach can help reduce inflammation. So if you’re ready let’s dive in to find out more about Monica’s unique approach to wellness, which starts with encouraging us to be a little bit more BAD. Timestamps: 00:02:05 Monica’s Journey to Becoming a Nutrition Coach 00:07:03 The "BAD" Movement – Balanced, Authentic, Deserving 00:12:19 Lifestyle Medicine and the Impact of Stress 00:14:31 Nature and Movement as Stress Antidotes 00:19:50 Managing Chronic Health Conditions 00:23:33 Your Gut Microbiome 00:27:56 The Mental Overwhelm of Managing Your Diet 00:29:35 How to Make Little Adjustments to What You Eat 00:35:21 Progress Over Perfection – Building Healthy Habits is Like Training Muscle 00:38:15 One Size Doesn’t Fit All and the Danger of Weight Loss Influencers 00:42:45 The Benefits of Working with a Coach 00:48:33 Being a Role Model for the University Students 00:49:51 How Monika Got Into Powerlifting 00:56:23 Strength Training for Women 00:59:36 Variety is the Key to Monika’s Kindspace 01:03:12 Monika’s Programmes and Research (and How to Get in Touch) Links: Website: https://monikagostic.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrMonikaGostic/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthnfitness_coach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmonikagostic/ Bored of Lunch: https://boredoflunch.com/ 21-Day Research Programme: https://monikagostic.com/programmes/ Transcript: https://createyourkindspace.com/the-stress-inflammation-cycle-breaking-bad-with-dr-monika-gostic/ Monika shares some incredible advice, and there is one quote that really sums up everything that we talked about, where she said “let's really start feeling amazing in our body. So to the point that we are radiating that energy and happiness and it just overflows to our children, to our spouses, and everything else that we're doing.” Some pretty fantastic advice isn’t it?

The Art of Writing in the Digital Age with Sara Matthews 52:13

منذ 9 weeks52:13

52:13

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us. Now does anyone else find it hard making friends as a grown up? To be fair I’ve never been very good at making friends, as a child I was painfully shy. And it’s actually really rare to find people you connect with instantly. But my next guest is 100% one of those people. Sara Matthews is the founder of Baravere Studies and I cannot wait for you to meet her. Timestamps: 00:02:31 Sara's creative journey and background 00:07:41 How creatives often wear many hats 00:10:38 Overcoming the barriers to creativity 00:14:04 Creativity as a wellbeing tool 00:16:07 The birth of Artful Encounters 00:20:03 What does the research say? 00:22:08 Building community through creative workshops 00:24:03 The power of handwriting vs. digital tools 00:29:02 AI is a tool, don’t be afraid to experiment with it 00:34:43 Conversations with AI 00:37:03 The European Chatbot Summit in Edinburgh 00:43:35 How does a creative like Sara switch off? 00:46:04 Mother's Day workshop announcement 00:50:08 Where to connect with Sara Links: Website: https://www.baraverestudio.com/ Sara’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saramatt2025/ Sara’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adsycreative/ Baravere Studio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/baraverestudio/ Mother’s Day Event: https://createyourkindspace.com/mothers-day-creative-writing/ European Chatbot & Conversational AI Summit: https://theeuropeanchatbot.com/ Transcript: Link to the transcript: https://createyourkindspace.com/the-art-of-writing-in-the-digital-age-with-sara-matthews/ It’s so interesting the linkage between technology and creativity. I think it is one of the things that I love most about what I do now. But like most things in life there does need to be a balance, and I hope that what comes across in our conversation is that technology should support rather than replace creative processes and that human touch. I think the other thing that struck with me from our conversation is how important it is to have an outlet for self-expression, whether that’s something like journaling or a creative hobby like painting, or music. So if you wanna join the conversation, you wanna get in touch and let me know your thoughts about this episode, I would love to hear from you. Also if you could give this episode a like and share on social media that would also be really helpful. And a final thing, if you’re in the Aberdeen, it would be so wonderful to see you at our Mother’s Day event that we’re planning on the 22nd of March. So make sure to check out the show notes. And I’m also gonna pop a link to the European Chatbot and Conversational AI summit, just in case you’re in Edinburgh that week as well.

In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, I reflect on 2024 and how I ended up publishing the Create Your Kindspace guided journal. I did a lot of things last year that stretched me and I’m so glad that I took the time to invest in myself and focus on fewer but more meaningful projects. So grab yourself your favourite tea or coffee and join me for an intimate look at how a year of consistent journaling transformed both my personal and professional life.

Pelvic Health Myth Busting with Rosie Davie 52:32

منذ 16 weeks52:32

52:32

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us. So right before the festive holidays I caught up with Rosie Davie, a physiotherapist who traded the rugby field for a mission to transform women's health care. I think it’s a topic that we don’t talk about enough and advice can often be unhelpful or outdated, so I’m so delighted to have Rosie help shine a light on the issues and share her top tips and advice. Timestamps: 00:02:15 Introduction to pelvic health 00:04:39 From sports physio to pelvic health specialist 00:12:11 Understanding the gender health gap 00:17:33 Breaking down pelvic health taboos and the lack of education 00:19:43 How marketing preys on women’s vulnerability 00:25:02 A holistic approach to women's health 00:36:57 Supporting women post trauma 00:39:02 What’s next for Rosie’s business 00:45:25 Creating a kindspace through movement, puppies, family, friends and the beach 00:49:39 Where to get in touch with Rosie Links: Website: https://rosiedaviephysiotherapy.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosiedaviepelvichealth/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosie-davie-a47237156/ Access Rosie’s Pelvic Health Resources: https://rosiedavie.teachable.com/p/aboutrosie Transcript: https://createyourkindspace.com/pelvic-health-myth-busting-with-rosie-davie/ I am sure I am not the only one after this discussion feeling empowered that our pelvic symptoms are not just something that we have to put up with as women. Yes, our bodies go through significant changes through pregnancy, motherhood and beyond in the transition to menopause, and these changes they are natural, but there are proactive and holistic approaches that can help us to improve how we feel and also allow us to still do the things we love. I think the call to action here is to prioritise our pelvic health and if we’re not getting the answers we need, seek out specialist support from someone like Rosie. Thank you so much for listening all the way to the end, before you go, I have a little favour to ask, so if you’ve liked this episode, please screenshot it, tag us on social media @createyourkindspace and maybe share what your key takeaway was from the episode. It would also be so wonderful if you could rate and review this podcast as it helps other people to find it. Thank you so much.

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us. I have had some truly wonderful guests this year and I’m really excited for you to meet my last guest of 2024.

I think the big takeaway for me from my discussion with Gemma was the power of being honest about our struggles - whether that's with our health, our businesses, or just life in general. Gemma's openness about living with IBS and the realities of running a business really resonated with me. Thank you so much for being part of the Create Your Kindspace community this year. I've loved sharing these conversations with you, and I can't wait to bring you more inspiring guests in 2025. Until then, keep creating your kindspace.

Tips for an Organised, Stress-Free Home with Debbie Junor 52:13

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us. Our homes are such an important aspect of our wellbeing. But for many of us, they can be a source of stress and overwhelm when our stuff becomes too much to manage. Today’s guest Debbie Junor from Clean Slate is going to share all her top organising and decluttering tips and also how to approach more challenging things like bereavement, children’s toys and gifting in the run-up to Christmas. Timestamps: 00:02:08 How Debbie became a professional organiser 00:06:40 Decluttering is not just about hoarders 00:09:44 How to get the stuff out of your home 00:16:54 Debbie’s advice for bereavement and sentimental items 00:21:40 Giving and receiving gifts without the guilt 00:24:33 Children’s toys and capturing memories 00:30:16 The rewards of helping people transform their living spaces 00:32:29 Challenges of running an organising business 00:37:04 The APDO community and professional support opportunities 00:41:25 Where to start on your decluttering journey 00:45:27 Debbie's kind space and future plans Links: Clean Slate Website: https://cleanslateuk.co.uk/ Debbie’s Countdown to Christmas Planner: https://cleanslateuk.co.uk/countdown-to-christmas-planner/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cleanslateuk.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cleanslateuk.uk/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/debbie-junor-90500419a/ APDO the UK's professional body for Declutterers and Organisers: https://www.apdo.co.uk/ Transcript: https://createyourkindspace.com/tips-for-an-organised-stress-free-home-with-debbie-junor/ There is something so very freeing about letting things go, but often that can be hard to do on your own, and so I can see how working with someone like Debbie would make such a massive difference and kind of help you get back not only your physical space but also lighten some of that mental load too. So I really hope that you enjoyed this episode and you’re able to kind of implement some of the ideas that we talked about. Thank you so much for listening, before you go, I have a little favour to ask, so if you’ve liked this episode, please screenshot it, tag us on social media @createyourkindspace and maybe share what your key takeaway was from the episode.

Welcome to another episode of the ’Create Your Kindspace’ podcast, with me your host Caroline Laurenson. Create Your Kindspace is all about wellbeing and the different ways in which we care for ourselves and those around us.

Catherine Ann Reid Helps Us to Conquer Life's Admin 54:38

If I say the words Life Admin, what feelings come up for you? Is it immediate overwhelm? I think at this time of year, when we’re thinking about getting back to school and realising how the end of the year isn’t actually that far away, it can cause a slight sense of panic when you realise how many balls you are juggling. My guest today, Catherine Ann Reid has created a super user-friendly digital solution called Doqit that brings together all that life admin into one place and offers timely reminders so you’ll never drop a ball again. Timestamps: 00:01:21 Introduction and Catherine Ann’s Background 00:03:31 The Inspiration Behind Doqit 00:06:44 Solving the Life Admin Problem 00:09:29 Implementing Doqit and User Stories 00:19:50 The Role of AI and Future Possibilities 00:23:26 The Tech Founder Journey 00:35:23 Reflections and Lessons Learned 00:41:15 Inspiring and Being Inspired By Our Kids 00:48:38 Finding Balance and Creating Kind Spaces Links: Website: https://www.doqit.io/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherineannreid/ Transcript: https://createyourkindspace.com/catherine-ann-reid-helps-us-to-conquer-lifes-admin/ It never ceases to amaze me how resilient people can be. I am so blessed to be able to have such beautiful guests on, who share their life lessons and passion for helping others. You can hopefully tell from this episode that I feel a deep connection with Catherine Ann and Chloe, I’ve walked a similar path with my own disability. My mum had five kids and had to juggle all my appointments and treatment and I know she would have loved something like Doqit to help keep her organised. Can I ask you a favour?

It's not every day that you get the opportunity to share your story and do it on a day as meaningful as International Women's Day. Our life experiences have such a profound way of shaping our future selves and not always in the way that you might expect. There will be amazing people in your life that have gone through things and overcome things that you could never even imagine. I was honoured to share my story and also hear the stories of other brave inspirational women, but in all our stories what came out was how much our own mother's have influenced the women we have become. So this is my story...
