Today is a solo episode all about nourishment. I have had my ups and downs when it comes to how I fuel my body, but after years of trial and error I finally feel like I am in a really positive and balanced place. I am sharing my own personal experience and tips, and always encourage you to get your lab work done and see a nutritionist, because diet is so bioindividual. 


A little back story of my own journey when it comes to nourishment, I would always resirct myself and hold off eating for as long as possible in the day. I know a lot of women can ressonate with this! For so long social media was showing fasting for women and coffee instead of breakfast. Now that I have delved into the wonderful world of nutrition, I now know how detrimental this can be for our health. As someone who is trying to get their period back after being on the birth control pill for over a decade, balancing my hormones is at the forefront of my wellness goals. There is a trending sound on Instagram at the moment which says “girls understanding eloctrolytes, filtered water, 30grams of protein before coffee” this is actually facts! 


I will dive deeper into this on the pod, but in general today's episode is all about ways that I choose to fuel and nourish my body to perform its best!

Today’s episode is all about lympathic drainage, and more specificaly lympathic drainage massages! I have been obsessed with this detoxing mechanism for a long time but I feel like it’s really having its moment. A Lympathic drainage massage involves a gentle massage focusing on the lympathic system which is part of the immune system. I personally love it because it helps with water retention, my skin gets clearer, my mood is boosted and for its anti-inflammatory properties.


Today’s guest is the founder of Forme, Sophie Dulac. I recently visted Sophie and felt like I was on a cloud! We chat all about why lymphatic drainage massages are so important in modern society where facing toxins is almost inevitable, how to get the benefits without breaking the bank, how to look after our gut if we travel a lot and more.

Today’s episode is one I am so excited about. Jumping on the mic is Elle Ferguson. I have looked up to her for so many years, she is an icon in the fashion industry, a business owner of the beauty brand ELEFFECT, and is forever inspiring me with all her incredible travels.


I pick Elle’s brain on the social media space, starting a beauty brand, her experience of sobriety and more. There is so much to learn from this incredibe woman and I can’t wait to launch this episode. 

Today’s episode has me absolutey buzzing! Sarah Grynberg, the brains behind the podcast A life of Greatness is a true pioneer in the health and wellness space. Sarah shares her love for story telling by interviewing some of the most influential people. The likes of Robin Sharma, Ester Perel, Andrew Huberman and Doctor Amen just to name a few have been guests on her pod.


Sarah herself oozes good energy, and a life of Greatness is one of my personal favourite podcasts. It is such an honour to have Sarah joining me on Selfdom today!


We chat about meditation, how to become your greatest self, why we need the dark moments to shine and so much more.

On today’s episode we have the incredible Bella Varelis. Bella is a style icon, sharing her fashion and travel through social media. She also her own fashion label The house of Eve. On todays episode we chat about navigating the high and lows that come with a career in social media, her journey in business, what helped her find her flow when it came to her body and mind and more.

Today is all about how to find beauty from within. Gut health is such a hot topic in the wellness world at the moment, but today’s guest has been a pioneer in bringing its importance to the forefront. 


I am so excited to have Carla Oates on the pod today! Carla is the founder of the beauty chef, a wellness brand that is leading the way at brining awareness of the link between beauty, gut health and wellbeing. A little background knowledge on Carla, she worked as the beauty editor foer some Australia’s top magazines, she was shocked by all the toxins in our products, and moved more into the natural beauty space. We talk a lot about endocrine distruptors on the podcast, but this was in the early 2000s so Carla really was ahead of the game! This passion led to the creation of the beauty chef which if you follow me, you know is a non-negotiable in my routine.


During covid i got really Carla’s cook books and her journey and her story truely put me on my own wellness path. I am so so grateful to have her on the pod today.

Today’s episode is one that I am really excited for, because it aligns to a big change in my life. I have been on birth control for a decade, and for fear of breaking out and other side effects, I haven’t gotten off it. 


A little bit about my own experience, I was put on the pill when I was 15 and didn’t really have a choice or know much about it. My mum had been on it for majority of her life, and she made me go on it for contraception.


At the time the only risks we knew of were potential blood clots. I am 28 now, and I have made the decision to get off the pill for a number of reasons. The main one is that I have chosen to be as natural as possible when it comes to what I feed myself, so it feels right to become better intune with my 28 day natural cycle. 


I genuinely feel like I owe it to myself as an act of self love. In all honesty I am scared to get off it becasue I don’t really know myself without it. This is why today’s guest couldn’t have come at a better time. 


A lot of you may know Sarah Cooper for her instagram @scoopitup. A little bit about this power house, Sarah is a clinical nutritionist aswell as a pilates instructor who is well studied in how to move and nourish at different stages of our cycle. I personally feel like no one ever taught me anything about this and I am excited to be bringing this knowledge to the forefront. People like Sarah are my favourite to follow because I always learn and get inspired by her content.

Today’s episode is all about finding your flow state! I discovered this term when I was reading The Art of Impossible by Steven Kotler, and have since dived deep into ways to live in flow.


I am sure a lot of you are wondering, “Dom what is this flow state?” The term Flow state was created by Mihaly Csikszentmihályi in the 1970s - referring to flow state as being so immersed in the joy of their work or activity “that nothing else seems to matter.” To me it is when you’re living with so much purpose, that the world seems to be working for you and with you. You feel light, a lot of effort can seem effortless, and you are really in the groove.


The best example of being in flow is when we look at Athletes. They are so in their zone on the court that they are not thinking about anything else, they are hyper focused and fixated on what they need to do.


So today’s episode is all about helping you find your flow state! This has been a real game changer for me, it has in all honesty changed my life and i’m excited to dive deep into the episode.
