    Building Loco Love with Emica Penklis | Selfdom Ep. 136

    How do you turn something you genuinely love into a brand that reaches millions of people? Today on Selfdom, I’m joined by Emica Penklis, naturopath, nutritionist and founder of Loco Love, to hear the story behind one of Australia’s most loved conscious chocolate brands. Long before Loco Love became the brand it is today, Emica’s own health journey led her to study naturopathy and nutrition, explore meditation and rethink her relationship with food. Eventually, her love of cacao and creating chocolate with her hands evolved into something much bigger. We talk about the early days of Loco Love, building a business before functional foods and conscious wellness became mainstream, the moments Emica wanted to give it all up, her biggest business lessons and how she has protected the integrity of the brand as it has grown. This is a conversation about trusting your intuition, building with purpose and what can happen when you turn something you deeply believe in into a business.

    10 Things Pregnancy Taught Me About Health, Happiness & Letting Go of Perfection

    As I near the end of my pregnancy, I’m sharing 10 of the biggest lessons the past nine months have taught me, and surprisingly, most of them have very little to do with pregnancy. From redefining what it actually means to be “healthy” and letting go of perfection, to learning to slow down, ask for help, prioritise sleep and move my body without aesthetics being the goal, pregnancy has completely changed the way I think about wellness. I also chat about our obsession with optimisation, why ordering the “healthiest” thing on the menu isn’t always the healthiest choice, the importance of food and supplementation, authenticity online and why I have more respect for mothers than ever before. Whether you’re pregnant or not, I hope this episode encourages you to slow down, listen to your body and remember that enjoying your life is part of being healthy too.

    Is Wellness Culture the New Diet Culture? Intuitive Eating with Lyndi Cohen | Selfdom Ep. 133

    Is wellness culture actually making us healthier, or is it just diet culture in disguise? In this episode of Selfdom, I sit down with dietitian Lyndi Cohen, also known as The Nude Nutritionist, to unpack our increasingly complicated relationship with food, weight and our bodies. We talk about binge and emotional eating, food noise, intuitive eating and why trying to eat “perfectly” can sometimes leave us feeling more out of control. Lyndi also breaks down some of the biggest wellness trends, including clean eating, intermittent fasting, carnivore diets, seed oils, ultra-processed foods and glucose spikes. We also dive into GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, what they do to appetite and food noise, the nutritional considerations that can be overlooked, and what can happen when you stop taking them.

    Starting Over After Success with Samantha Wills | Selfdom Ep.131

    There can be so much pressure to have your life figured out by the time you're 30. To choose the right career, keep climbing the ladder and never look back. But what happens when the life you've worked so hard to build no longer feels aligned? In today's episode, I'm joined by entrepreneur, bestselling author and speaker Samantha Wills. After building one of Australia's most successful jewellery brands into a global business, Samantha made the courageous decision to walk away and redefine what success meant to her. Together, we explore burnout, identity, the fear of starting over, and why changing your mind isn't a sign of failure, but often a sign of growth. We talk about knowing when you've outgrown a chapter, navigating career pivots, and giving yourself permission to choose a path that feels more aligned. Whether you're questioning your career, feeling stuck, or simply wondering if there's something more, I hope this conversation reminds you that it's never too late to begin again. In this episode, we discuss: Burnout and the hidden cost of success Knowing when it's time for a new chapter Career pivots and starting over Redefining success on your own terms Why it's never too late to change your mind Connect with us: Follow Selfdom (https://www.instagram.com/selfdom__) Follow Dom Elissa (https://www.instagram.com/dominiquelissa) Follow Samantha Willis (https://www.instagram.com/samanthawills) Samantha’s Book: https://samanthawills.com/book Shop Selfdom: Gratitude journals + more: https://selfdom.au For partnership inquiries: hello@selfdom.info (mailto:hello@selfdom.info) Produced by Talkback Media: info@talkbackmedia.com.au (mailto:info@talkbackmedia.com.au)
