Does it feel like the juggle of a high stress career and caring for your family often comes at the cost of your own personal welbeing? Well you're not the only one. It's a common issue where capable, high achieving people often struggle to maintain their own wellness habits because they're too busy caring for everyone and everything else. 

Peter Bristow is an executive wellness coach who helps leaders and high performers improve their energy, manage pressure, and perform sustainably, and he believes you can in fact have it all it just comes down to prioritising. 

In the episode Toni and Pete chat about how seeing his wife on the brink of burnout encouraged him to help others avoid the same fate, why overcommitting to wellness habits is setting yourself up for failure, some small things you can do in the next 24 hours to begin your wellness journey, and so much more.

This week on We Need To Talk we're bringing back one of our favourite episodes from the past few years.

Emma Lewisham is name now known across the world, with their products being sold by stores like Net-A-Porter and Onda Beauty. But the brand started simply, with Emma noticing there weren't any all-natural, sustainable skincare products on the market.

On this episode, Toni talks with Emma Lewisham, the founder of the all-natural skincare company of the same name about the importance of understanding what you're really putting on your skin.

They also discuss balancing founding a business and being a mother, how going against the grain can make your business stand out, and being approached by big names such as Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Patrow to sell her products.

You probably recognise Allyson Gofton best from the iconic Food in a Minute, a one minute long cooking show-advertisment hybrid that she hosted for 13 years. After leaving Food in a Minute, Allyson has continued to write cookbooks, including her latest, Give which is all focused around creating delicious food to give as a gift. 

However, you probably don't know the struggle Allyson and her family went through for years after her son Jean-Luc suffered a severe concussion during a high school hockey game. Allyson believes that concussions have become so commonplace and normalised that most people don't fully understand how dangerous they actually are. 

In the epsiode, Allyson tells Toni Street the heart-wrenching story of what Jean-Luc went through and the years long recovery it entailed, the incredible toll it had on their whole family, and why she believes there should be more education around concussions. Plus she shares the inspirational story that inspired her to write Give, and how buying the book can help support breast cancer research in New Zealand.

Allyson Gofton: A mother's terrifying experience with concussion

WARNING: This episode contains brief mentions of drug addiction. 

Aaron Fleming hasn’t had the easiest run in life, when he was 16 he suffered multiple collapsed lungs which lead to multiple major surgeries and years of recovery. This lead to a period of depression, and addiction to pain medication. After this his surgeon said he’d never be able to physically exert himself again. To prove his surgeon wrong, Aaron decided he was going to compete in an Ironman, an incredibly difficult, full-day triathlon.

Cut to now, Aaron has completed more than 20 Ironmans across two decades and is heading to Hawai'i to compete in the world championship. Aaron credits connecting with nature as a huge part of his recovery, and is now on a mission to educate people on the healing abilities of nature. 

Whether it's simply spending time in your garden or taking a walk along the beach, or heading out for big, multi-day treks in Aotearoa's most remote locations, the power of connecting with nature cannot be overstated. But even more importantly, giving nature a helping hand can have unexpected benefits to you own wellbeing.
