Today is going to dive deep into the modelling - how to get started, challenges that will come up, how to handle rejection and so much more. Today’s guest is Shannon Lawson, a model, health and fitness advocate, digital personality and a mum! Shannon has been modelling for over a decade and has shot all around the world. Our worlds always seemed to cross paths even in the early days, and I feel so lucky to call her a close friend of mine. 


Shannon has been an amazing role model to me and so many others so I can’t wait to pick her brain. I have always looked up to her not only physically because she is so much taller than me, but because she is so professional.


I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the episode! Make sure to follow and share.

Welcome back to Selfdom. Today is a solo episode all about seizing your morning! I am the biggest believer in the power of a morning routine. This time is sacred to me, and sets the tone for my entire day. 


Creating a solid morning routine has been life changing for me. I am calmer, more focused and to be honest a nicer person in general because I have my “me” time every day.





A big reason I am such a believer in seize the morning seize the day is because I know how crazy our days can be. We often have plans to go to the gym after work but then a meeting is pushed back, or we just feel a lot more tired in the afternoons. By getting it done in the morning, you have already achieved a goal. Not only does this take pressure off for getting it done after a busy day of work, it also means you are in a better mood all day because you have already achieved something before the business day has started. 





A reminder throughout this episode is that waking up early doesn’t mean you are jeopardising your sleep. More and more studies have come out showing the importance of high quality rest on your overall health. A good nights rest is importance for your cognitive functioning, it boosts your immune system, improves your metabolic health and helps your skin - beauty sleep isn’t a myth!





I promise that after a few weeks of sticking to this you will really see the positive impacts to your body and mind. Give these tips and go and let me know how you go. A reminder that I love seeing your dms and messages about your progress, so never be shy to share. .

Today we are going a little bit deep and a little bit personal. Self love is one of my favourite topics and It is something I work on every day. Like any relationship with a partner, family member of friend, it only exists when you put the work into it. 


I have had a lot of people ask about relationships on the Selfdom Dms, and you may be thinking that relationships are self love are mutually exclusive, but they couldn’t be more relatable. This was something I realised from spending a year single. 





I wanted to talk about 5 ways to find self love and nurture the most special relationship in your life, the one with yourself. These are practices you can do every day to check in and become your most authentic and genuine self. 

All I can say is wow! Some conversations really click, and this was one of them. Eddie is a qualified breathwork coach and has inspired many with her teachings. Eddie explains how the power of breath completely changed the trajectory of her own life.


This was a great reminder of how just 5 minutes of mindfulness can completely change your life. Breathing is the most natural thing we do, so be intentional and make the most of this incredible practice.

On today's episode I chat to my personal trainer and good friend, Janis Blums. Janis is IMG's and CHIC's go-to when it comes to finding their models a trainer. He has taught me so much when it comes to the mind body connection, and he is the man who changed my perspective when it comes to weight training!


I loved filming this episode. Let me know if we should do a part 2 as we had so much more we wanted to speak about.

It is sad to think that as a child we are full of joy, even over the smallest of things. As we get older, we start to lose that inner child and get so consumed by the outer world.


I hope you learn some new tricks in this episode that can help you to find happiness every single day.

Today’s pod is all about routine, which feels so fitting at the start of the year. My routine doesn’t make my life rigid, if anything it gives me freedom. Routine takes away a lot of decision making for me in the mornings and nights, which in turn gives my mind more time to be creative and make better decisions to the ones that really matter.


On todays’s episode I’m going share my tips and tricks when it comes to creating a routine. I promise to you that when you find the one that works, and fits your lifestyle, it really is life changing.

Today I am going to be covering the 5 ways I will be detoxing over the next 10 days. If you’re like me, by this time I am ready to get back into routine and have some alone time. I am craving a detox! A refresh before work and a way to get rid of some of the nasties i’ve put into my body over the silly season.


The holiday season is absolutely a time to enjoy and indulge a little bit more. This time of the year is about making memories with the people you love, and it is okay to let go of some of your usual healthy habits so dont feel guilty or talk negatively to yourself. It is now that we start prioritising our health and get on track for our 2024 fitness and health goals.
