My guest today is Olivia Arezzolo, Australia’s leading sleep expert, speaker, author, coach and advisor and she is here today to share her expertise with you. 

Olivia has been featured in Forbes, the Today Show and Sunrise and her knowledge has been sought by global brands Google, Fitbit and Ikea. She has her own column in Body and Soul and is partners with Sealy Posturepedic. Olivia has recently released her book ‘Bear, Lion or Wolf’, and designed an online program called ‘Sleep School’ and we’ll chat about it all today. 

Olivia makes it count by being truly present, not focusing so heavily on the future and making space for walking every day. 

In this episode, we dive into how Olivia became a sleep expert. She talks openly about dealing with depression and anorexia and then wanting to support and help others with their holistic health. Olivia then explores the physical, emotional and cognitive benefits of sleep and why you should be prioritising it every day. 

Light is a key contributor to poor sleep. Olivia talks about the importance of removing blue light and using blue light glasses to block out blue light wherever possible.  

Olivia walks us through her signature bedtime routine and talks about the differences and significance of knowing your chronotype: lions, bears, and wolves. 

The most important thing I wanted to know was the effects of coffee on sleep. Olivia shares how coffee impacts our ability to get to sleep, stay asleep and the quality of sleep. 

You’ll find so much value in Olivia’s expert advice and information. Check out the steps in her signature bedtime routine, read her book and have a look at her programs to improve your sleep and feel energized every morning.

The Secret to a Great Night Sleep with Olivia Arezzolo

There’s a tendency for so many leaders to constantly want more, do more and strive to be more. But what happens when we continue to forge ahead without ever slowing down? 



I know firsthand how operating like this can lead to burnout. So today, I’m talking about an incredibly important yet undervalued strategy that will get you the results you want: taking pause.



While it may seem counterintuitive to stop and breathe in the midst of all the busyness, it’s often the very thing we need to be able to keep going - and improving. I talk about the benefits of pressing the pause button, such as giving your brain a break from overthinking, enabling yourself to process the chaos and reducing overwhelm.  



By stepping back from the constant busyness in our work and personal lives, we create space for self-awareness and enhance our capacity for growth. I encourage you to develop a daily practice in setting aside time to breathe, reflect and reconnect with your centre.



A simple breathwork practice can work wonders to calm your nervous system, and I take you through a breathing technique you can implement in your routine to ground yourself when you’re in overwhelm. 



I also share with you 5 practical tips to effectively press the pause button:


Pick your quiet time
Set the length of time for your pause
Find your solitude
Remove distractions
Sit with the silence



Taking pause is not just a valuable strategy to enhance your performance and that of your team; it’s a mindset shift that will empower you to choose how you show up in the world, both as a leader and an individual. 



So join me today and learn the tools and techniques to help you become the most resilient and effective leader you can be.

An Undervalued Strategy That Will Get You Results

How do we work in a way that is sustainable and avoids burnout, while still being successful? This is a difficult question for women to answer, with a 2023 survey of Australian working women finding that 54% reported increased levels in stress. Another 30% experienced ongoing burnout and 16% left their jobs in 2022 citing lack of flexibility. 



Today, I’m joined by the wonderful Jo Wagstaff, internationally renowned leadership coach and speaker. She has worked with many premier Australian and global firms to support thousands of professionals to embrace the power of conscious, authentic leadership. Jo has recently written her book, Lead Like You, a roadmap for women to lead more authentic and fulfilling lives. In this episode, we’re talking about just that. 



Jo takes us through her earlier years of working in the corporate world, where she seemingly had it all. However, a pivotal moment in her life (at a party hosted by James Packer, no less!), along with a season of loss and grief, caused her to step away. We hear about the following messy years, where she became a person and mother she wasn’t proud of, and how she made the conscious decision to change her life. 



We talk about the limiting beliefs formed in childhood that often drive us to overwork as adults. Jo talks about how writing her book helped her unpack how her experiences shaped her, and how she found self-acceptance on the journey. 



So many of us struggle to find true meaning in our lives. We’re overloaded by society’s expectations on how to be, work and raise children. Jo talks about the importance of self-reflection, boundary-setting and values alignment to combat this. She also believes it’s not just about leaning in; it's about knowing when to step back and breathe. 



There's no question that this world needs successful women. Those breaking glass ceilings, sitting at the top of the decision making tree and helping to develop the world that we want to live in. For Jo, it's about how to make them successful in a way that still feels meaningful.



Her motto? Know yourself, care for yourself and be yourself. What is really driving you? As Jo says: our greatest strengths, when overplayed, become our greatest weaknesses. So join us today as we uncover the secrets to combating burnout and finding our true, authentic purpose in life.

From Rock Bottom to Finding True Purpose with Jo Wagstaff

Do you find it hard to speak up in the workplace, as well as in your personal life? If so, it’s clear that you are not alone.



Studies show that the rate of women experiencing burnout at work has grown to 42%, with men at 30%. Why is this happening? I believe that a huge part of the problem is that people are too tired or lack the confidence to speak up for themselves when too much is being expected of them. 



Today, I’m talking about the incredibly important idea of digging deep and using your voice. I share with you how I did that in one of my darkest moments, and encourage you to use your own voice to lead you through life’s challenges and towards opportunity.  



In my previous roles as a leader, I noticed that if I didn’t raise some of the issues I was observing, I'm not sure that the people impacted by them would have spoken up. It made me wonder: Did I not have the level of trust with them? Or is speaking up just something that they're just not used to?



If you’re struggling to use your voice to address an issue in your life, I encourage you to look inside and ask yourself why. Whether it’s societal, cultural or a confidence issue, there will be something deep down for you that is preventing you from taking a stand. I also talk about the practical side of sharing your message, such as giving it at an unemotional time and with a healthy amount of detachment. 



I take you through three tips to help you effectively position yourself in using your voice authentically and building trust:


Know what you do and don’t stand for
Connect to your values
Take action using practical strategies



Speaking up for yourself isn’t easy at first, but remember: practice is progress. If you just start doing it, whether it’s at home, work or out in society, you’ll soon feel empowered to use your voice where and when it really matters.
