    SLP 522: From Country Roots to Retreats: Lucy’s Journey of Growth, Nature, and Connection
    Oct 13 2025
    In this inspiring conversation, Kim sits down with Lucy Devenish to explore her journey from growing up on a sheep and cattle property in rural Australia to creating a life centred on personal growth, community, and connection with nature. Lucy shares how her path led her to become a marriage celebrant, retreat facilitator, and the creator of a unique geodesic dome Airbnb near Toowoomba. Together, Kim and Lucy dive into themes of resilience, self love, and the power of reconnecting with natural rhythms. Lucy opens up about her passion for supporting women through personal growth retreats, including her upcoming Spirit of Santo Retreat in Vanuatu (November 13–20, 2025) and how she weaves practices like crystal pendulum work, nature therapy, and authentic connection into her offerings. This episode is rich with wisdom on embracing change, finding meaning in simple practices, and honouring both our personal journeys and the cycles of life. Whether you are seeking inspiration, curious about alternative healing, or considering a retreat experience, Lucy’s story offers insight and encouragement. About Lucy From three decades raising twins on a remote cattle station —120 kilometres from the nearest town, through crippling droughts, devastating floods, and everything in between —to facing her own health challenges and an inner unrest, a sense that something was missing, Lucy Devenish has come out the other side with a passion for guiding women through healing, retreats, and the art of self-love. She brings warmth and wisdom to remind us all that caring for ourselves isn’t selfish… it’s sacred. WHAT I DO THESE DAYS…. Marriage Celebrant; Bespoke wedding ceremonies honouring each specific love story. Holistic Healing; Therapies embracing energy and spirituality. Over years of study, practice, and a thirst for learning every modality I could, I wove those teachings together and created my own signature practice -The Dance of the Crystal Pendulum.” Luxury Glamping Dome; Log fires, starlit nights and peaceful vibes. A sanctuary shaped by sacred geometry and grounded in the healing frequencies of the earth. Spirit of Santo Retreat–November 13th–20th, 2025. The Dance of the Crystal Pendulum: is a profound and unique experience that weaves together spirituality, ceremonial elements and healing techniques from a diverse range of holistic modalities. The crystal pendulum becomes a conduit, translating the language of energy and intuition… where each movement and swing of the pendulum reveals insights and facilitates a deeply personal connection with your higher consciousness. This mesmerising approach is a commitment to self-care and self-exploration. It is an investment in your own well-being, allowing you to embrace the dance as a beautiful and sacred journey toward healing and growth. Especially beneficial for those uncertain about their needs, the dance allows intuitive guidance to unfold, providing exactly what is required. Her definition of Self Love is: It really has to come from within… make peace with where you are, and have faith that everything is as it should be… my granddaughter who puts on all her tu tu’s, hats, glasses, necklaces….and is unashamedly unique… she just loves herself…. It’s simple. Her favourite quote is from: Is a Poem from Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep ...

She encourages listeners to consider the impact of their spending choices and the positive ripple effect of supporting small businesses.

Links to follow: Website: https://twenty8.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials Quotes: When you support small business, in the wellness space you are saying it is important. And you are letting the owners know they are important. Globally, small and medium business are considered the backbone of the economy, driving more than 90% of businesses worldwide and around 70% of employment. When you choose a small wellness brand, you are not just making a purchase, you are making a statement about what you value. Small businesses aren’t faceless corporations. They are real humans pouring heart, souls, love and creativity into something they believe will truly make a difference. Shopping consciously boosts community wellbeing. It strengthens social ties, circulates money locally, and builds a ripple effect of trust, belonging and pride. Behind every small business is a person who does a little happy dance with every purchase. Your support keeps their dream alive. When you buy local wellness products, you are supporting families, communities, and even the nation’s economy. Every dollar you spend is a vote and choosing small business you are investing in dreams, wellbeing and a better future for all of us. As author Anna Lappé reminds us: “Every time you spend money, you’re casting a vote for the kind of world you want”.

  • SLP 520: From Herbal Wisdom to Magic Earth Mama Janette Tibbs Part Two

    SLP 520: From Herbal Wisdom to Magic Earth Mama Janette Tibbs Part Two
    Oct 6 2025
    In Part 2 of this conversation, Kim and Nette explore the evolution of Magic Earth Mama . From Nette’s first formulations to building a business with over 300 natural products. They discuss safe skincare ingredients, lifestyle changes that transformed Nette’s health, and her unique approach to self-care through food, herbs, and rituals. Nette also shares her philosophy on self love as a daily practice of intentional living and respect for both ourselves and the environment. This episode will leave you with practical tools for wellness and inspiration to choose natural, holistic paths in your own life. About Janette A dedication to a natural and organic lifestyle came from a desire to radically improve my health after a childhood and adolescence of debilitating conditions. Finding and utilizing the holistic philosophy absolutely re-established my health in mind, body and spirit. Studies into complimentary therapies and alternative health techniques has been an ongoing process for the last 20 or more years. After suffering my first major reaction to general medication at the age of six, severe dermatitis episodes from the age of 15, and chronic migraines that eventuated into seizures by the time I was 18, I could see this pattern emerging where there was no ‘one reason’ why my health was failing, but a conglomeration of choices that were shaping my life. Specialists told me I was going to live a life of blood tests and medication, but I decided to refuse to do that. I chose instead to educate myself, find the best possible life I could and improve my health bit by bit. This included studying health and nutrition, herbalism, esoteric and complimentary therapies along with meditation and energy healing. After two decades of study I have embraced the beauty of truthful, high quality, natural products, super nutrition and the stability of a considered mind. I feel I had to achieve this level of health and strength to be able to genuinely say ‘Yes, this works’. My focus is firmly on what I term ‘real natural’, using the whole botanical wherever possible, and formulating in micro-batches to maintain freshness and potency. After studying herbalism, aromatherapy, complimentary therapies and Holistic Feng Shui, I found that I was able to weave together healing through various modalities, maintaining ’High Quality Qi’ in the creations I produced. It was only when my health reached a critical point of achievement that I felt I could begin to offer it to others. I am now in the fortunate position of formulating products for myself, my clientele and other businesses, using nourishing, high quality ingredients that are truly ‘real natural’ and botanic-organic, and which do not use any synthetics at all. This has given me the opportunity to be of service to those who also desire a less toxic and healthier life experience. Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is intrinsic to self-respect and it’s very much reciprocal with the environment you live in and the people you engage with. I know that self love is giving me the friendships that I have always wanted. I know that my self love is giving me the place that I love to dwell in and my self love is giving me the environment that I hoped to pass on to my children. There is a knowledge in self love that is going to make our lives richer. Self love is self respect to want something good for yourself and by doing so you become able to give to others. Her favourite quote is: We are all responsible for our future.

I want to teach ‘deep green formulation’, botanical natural so people can see that natural skincare is both possible and powerful. I have been on a journey educating myself about the new naturals that are coming through. I am inspired to see large brand manufacturers are looking at safer ingredients. I have a responsibility as a maker, creator and manufacturer. SLS, parabens, and synthetic fragrances don’t belong on our skin. Nature provides safer alternatives. My product and industry knowledge gives me a different perspective on what people think is natural. If you can’t read the ingredients, then you have no idea on what you are putting on your body. When we slow down enough to watch the sunrise and sunset, we reset our biological cycles. There is a repositioning of your spirit centre. I am a pattern recognition person. My severe injuries forced me to reimagine my lifestyle and health practices. You many need to do something dramatic. The protocol I undertook cleaned up my system so dramatically and completely transformed my health. I proved to myself that I can get...

  • SLP 519: Self Love Quicky - Why Reading Labels Matter

    SLP 519: Self Love Quicky - Why Reading Labels Matter
    Oct 1 2025
    In this weeks quicky Kim discusses the importance of reading labels to avoid harmful chemicals in skincare and food products. She highlights common red flags to look out for such as parabens, SLS, phthalates, synthetic fragrances in skincare and artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and flavour enhancers in food. Kim encourages choosing natural and whole ingredients and suggests making small, gradual changes to reduce one’s toxic load. She emphasises that reading labels is an act of self care and self love, as it allows individuals to make informed choices about what goes into and onto their bodies. All the essential oils mentioned in this show can be found at www.twenty8.com. Don’t forget to use your Self Love Podcast special code below. Links to follow: Website: https://twenty8.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twenty.8.essential/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twenty8essentials Quotes: Labels tell a story! If only we take the time to read them. Most of us are unknowingly layering our bodies with toxins that accumulate and build up over time. What we eat and what we put on our skin directly influences our health, hormones, energy, and even our mood. Clever marketing often disguises harmful ingredients under ‘natural’ claims or pretty packaging. If you can’t pronounce it, your body probably can’t process it. When you know what to avoid, you get to discover incredible alternatives. Real food doesn’t have a label. Each small choice reduces your toxic load and strengthens your body’s resilience. Reading labels is an act of self care and self love. I choose what goes into and onto my body. Choose things that are close to nature. Every swap you make is a vote for your health, for your worth and for a cleaner planet. The choices you make on a daily basis truly do matter.

    SLP 518: From Healing to Herbalism: Janette Tibbs Journey into Natural Living Part 1
    Sep 29 2025
    In this two part conversation Kim speaks with Janette Tibbs also known as Nette, founder of Magic Earth Mama, about her powerful journey from personal health struggles to creating natural, plant-based products. Nette shares how herbalism, nutrition, and self-care rituals transformed her health, inspired her product line and deepened her connection with nature. She also offers practical insights into safer skincare, parental intuition, and holistic living, encouraging listeners to embrace self love and intentional wellness. About Janette A dedication to a natural and organic lifestyle came from a desire to radically improve my health after a childhood and adolescence of debilitating conditions.

I don’t create a product unless I have tested it on myself and lived with it first. Cures are not magic bullets they are all part of processes and protocols. I always tuned in to what was effective rather than what was on trend. Failures in formulation are not mistakes. They were lessons that guide me to a better solution. Pregnancy taught me to prioritise my health and trust in nature’s support systems. You will always learn from people as long as you are willing to listen to what they say, research and take the time to learn. I always felt a big connection to where I was living and being outside. Herbs like holy basil, yarrow (balancing hormones for women) and helichrysum (wound healer) are more than remedies. They are teachers. Traditional knowledge play a role in our intuitive understanding of herbs. The information has always been there, it is whether people are receptive. Plants protect themselves as they can’t move away from a threat. They have abilities to keep animals and people away from them. Hands on healing is so beautiful for mother to baby/child. Parents should cultivate their own confidence and not hand over all authority to the medical system. I encourage parents to have the confidence to take responsibility for their own children and to observe. A mother knows their child more than anyone else. And they should be given more respect as to what they are doing and knowing for their child’s health. Intuition and observation are powerful tools in parenting and healthcare.

    SLP 517: Self Love Quicky - The Gift of Parenting Tweens and Teens
    Sep 24 2025
    In this episode, Kim discusses the challenges and rewards of parenting tweens and teens, emphasising that this stage is a period of growth for both parents and children. She explains that adolescence involves significant brain development and that the natural pulling away by teens is a necessary part of their journey towards independence. Kim encourages parents to focus on personal growth, authentic communication, and self love while navigating this stage, reminding listeners that the process is about nurturing relationships rather than seeking perfection.

The natural pulling away is a biological and psychological necessity. It is how they form their own identity. Parenting isn’t about controlling them. It is about growing alongside them. When we do the inner work and show up authentically, with love and honesty, we create a space where they can thrive. Our children are some of our greatest teachers, reflecting back our patterns, values, and even our wounds. They invite us to practice patience, compassion, and self love. This is not a battle to win, but a relationship to nurture. Parenting isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence, love, and the willingness to grow together.

  • SLP 516: Parenting Tweens and Teens with Michelle Mitchell

    SLP 516: Parenting Tweens and Teens with Michelle Mitchell
    Sep 22 2025
    In this insightful episode, Kim speaks with parenting educator Michelle Mitchell who shares her professional journey and expertise in working with tweens and teens, discussing the challenges and joys of parenting during the teenage years. The conversation covers various aspects of parenting, including the importance of balancing independence with support, managing technology use, addressing mental health concerns, and navigating family dynamics. Michelle emphasises the need for parents to educate themselves about their children’s experiences, maintain authentic relationships, while providing guidance and support through the complex teenage years. Packed with stories, wisdom and practical tools, this conversation will leave you encouraged and equipped to parent with self love. About Michelle Michelle Mitchell is an author and speaker, sought after for her compassionate and grounded advice for parenting tweens and teens. She began as a classroom teacher but soon found a special interest in wellbeing. In 2000 she left teaching to establish a health promotion charity and psychology clinic which delivered life skills programs and psychological services to thousands of young people and their families each year. Today she uses her experience to write and speak in schools, community events and through media. The core of her work is helping parents be the trusted, leadership presence that their growing kids need. Her definition of Self Love is: At its heart, Michelle sees self love as a parent showing up happy and authentic, so our kids learn they have permission to do the same. Happiness is important, relationships are give and take and chasing your dreams is something to be proud of. Her favourite quote : If a mum says “You are my 7minutes” and the child says “What 7 minutes” and mum replies “After death the human brain lives for 7 minutes to replay its best memories”. “You are my 7 minutes” Links to follow: Website: www.michellemitchell.org Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michellemitchell.author/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michellemitchellspeaker Quotes: I know that one caring trusted adult in a kid’s life can literally change the trajectory of a child’s life. Parenting has never been more challenging. There is a grief of letting go in the growing up years that we don’t talk about enough. Parenting is u turn that comes right on back to you. Parenting flows through three stages: dependence, independence, and interdependence. There is flip of being so needed and then receiving messages that you are not needed in the same way. I talk to parents about owning that needy energy. Their ability to differentiate from us as human being is so important. We want the stretch to be manageable, a safe pull away. Our kids need to make mistakes. I am expecting you to act like a teenager, but you need to expect me to act like a parent! Parents chill out! Your kids are ok! AI and social media are shaping a generation. We can’t ignore it, but we can guide our kids through it with boundaries. We need to be on the front foot in our homes. Keep devices out of bedrooms, use parental controls, and have open conversations about tech usage with children. The world is not a safe place, and we need to educate our kids. Parents don’t need to have all the answers. They need to be the safe place where kids feel seen and significant. We need to know who our anchor people are. Strengthen those support layers so no one carries the load alone. When our kids are not communicating. We think talking is the answer when connection is the answer. There is a big difference. What they are needing to know is am I safe, do I belong, and do I matter? They are the things we need to try and answer as a community. Never hesitate to ask for professional support if things are spiralling. If we want to get serious about kid’s mental health, we need to see life through their lens and step into their shoes. Challenging teenage years aren’t lost years. They are full of opportunities for growth, humour, and deeper connection. Limit questions to teenagers to no more than two at a time to avoid appearing needy. It is natural for partners to have different ideas due to their diverse upbringings and backgrounds, but the common goal should be the child’s wellbeing. Using a timer to allow each partner to express their views without interruption. Test and measure ideas when there’s no mutual agreement. Teenagers don’t expect perfection. Perfection is intimidating to them. Get a bit messy with them. Be authentic. Assess whether school issues are “high stake” or “low stake” before determining your response approach. Don’t take teenage disrespect personally. It is usually a reflection of their struggle, not your failure as a parent. Go with the flow! We need to be sharp with them with they are disrespectful. For Example “Love you but don’t love the way you are speaking to me”. To the single parent, the ...

    Quotes:d Life is happening is the subtle, quiet nudges, gentle energy and soft whispers. Subtle energy is everywhere. Even five minutes of silence is enough to recalibrate. When we get quiet our nervous system settles and in that softer state, we hear more. Use your senses as guides. Use the power of aromatherapy to help allow your body to shift or still. Tune into your body’s language, it is always speaking to you. The body never lies. Create rituals that honour the energy flow. Rituals train you to move more gently, more consciously and more aligned with your inner world. Trust the whispers. Self love means trusting your intuition. Subtle energy is pure love. You already hold the answers that you need.
