no bullshit

Wrong. It is possible to work without stress! On today’s episode of No Bullshit, Alex will teach you exactly how to balance the everyday life pressures both on the job site and off the clock. It’s important to remember that life is a marathon, and your emotional well-being is critical to staying healthy and living it to the fullest. 

Building on our last episode, you’ll hear how each color personality naturally responds to stress, so if you haven’t found out which category you fall into, click the link below to take the 4 Lenses Assessment before we get started.

What to look for in today’s episode:

• The two traditional approaches to stress

When Amy Clarke had her second baby 5 years ago, she felt so lost. She couldn't go back to her full time office job and after coming out of a Post Natal Depression Fog. She really wanted to create a brand that resonated with her and my fellow female community. This drove her to create Confetti Rebels. It soon became her third baby.  Amy wanted to create apparel that made people feel happy, confident and speak their mind (without speaking their mind verbally). She wanted to create apparel that MEANT something to the person wearing it. Amy makes such an impact to her community supporting dozens of charities as well as making sure her products are ethically made and of the highest standard possible. Amy is such a delight and wonderful person, we are so stoked to be chatting with her today. We talk about: 

• Mums having a cheeky vino in Mothers Group in the park 
• How Confetti Rebels came to be
• The 4th Trimester and Postnatal Depression
• Amy's fav slogan on her tee's. And the idea of "Life/Child Balance"
• The most rewarding part of the business
• Success and what it means as a business owner and Mother
• Introverts and extroverts
• The most rewarding parts of Amy's business
• The biggest challenges of Motherhood and the most beautiful aspects and SO much  more
• The idea of "going deep or going home" and its not what you think. Get your mind out of the gutter!

This episode is brought to you by the incredible Rachael Rose who was a guest on Episode 10. Rach spoke about how lonely she was during her early Motherhood - and this was a catalyst to start running pregnancy and mothers circles, where she basically forces attendees to exchange numbers and start mum-dating. 

Rachael has released an online women's circle facilitator training called Together, where you can learn all about starting up a mothers circle, creating places where mums can connect, talk honestly and feel less alone.
