You are exactly RIGHT as you are right now!

16/8/2025

We are bombarded every day with the hundreds of ways that we are ‘wrong’. Billion dollar industries exist to make sure we don't forget it and buy their stuff to ‘fix it’.
 
Too loud
Too quiet
Too big
Too small
Too old
Too young
Too hairy
Too everything!
 
But what if there's actually nothing wrong with you at all? Seriously? Like nothing. That how you show up in the world is exactly right. 
 
It can be really hard to feel right in a world that likes to point out your ‘flaws’. I'm here to tell you that you ARE right. And I'm also here to encourage you to find yourself right. To start to approve of yourself and all that you do. 
 
Sure you'll make mistakes, but then we all do. Stuff happens that we might have been able to avoid and that we might have wished we could. But if you had avoided it, what else might you have missed out on?
 
To approve of all that you have done and what you want to do next takes some effort. To start the ball rolling you can write down a list of all the phrases that come into your mind when you disapprove of yourself. Then go back over your list and change it to an approving phrase instead. When you then have the disapproving thought, try to notice it, and gently change it to the approving phrase instead. 

Taking the time to do this exercise will dramatically improve your self-talk and your thoughts and feelings about you. 

Because you aren't wrong and you never have been.

The Power of Body Neutrality

16/8/2025

Women have been taught since they're born that the most important thing about them is how they look. We tell little girls how pretty they are rather than how smart or strong they are. There are billion dollar industries that create and feed our insecurities to sell us their products. 

Thankfully things are changing. The Body Love movement empowers women to love their bodies as they are now. It shines a light on the systems that lead to women hating their bodies and that it’s possible to love it.

However for many women going from loathing to loving their bodies can be a massive leap. It seems as impossible as trying to jump the Grand Canyon. But what if you aimed for the midpoint of Body Neutrality instead? It’s a landing pad to aim for in the middle of the canyon that looks far more achievable.

Body Neutrality is when you can look at yourself and there is no hate, no love, just ‘this is my body’. You view your body as an instrument that allows you to live this life, rather than an artwork to be admired. 

My top two tips to start you on your path are: 
  1. Try to catch yourself when you have a negative thought about your body and change it into a gratitude, eg ‘I'm grateful for my arms because I can hug my doggo’ or ‘I'm grateful for my bum because it’s comfy to sit on’.
  2. Find an activity that helps you out of your head and feeling into your body. There are so many different ones out there – Qoya, Yoga, bushwalking. It doesn't matter what your chosen activity is, it's about feeling into your body and realising how wonderful she is. 

Once you achieve Body Neutrality, keep going on towards Body Love. You're already halfway there!

​Liz the Radiance Coach and Sunranges Qoya in all its beingness acknowledges the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation as the Custodians of the places we dance on. I acknowledge you as the custodians throughout the flow of time and honour the custodial role you have always undertaken. I love seeing the incredible connection of the Wurundjeri People with nature and their community in the motion of cultural dance. The beauty and power of nature here is a fabulous reflection of the care and conservation you have provided. The trees of this place are particularly majestic and fill me with ease and calm which is an awe-inspiring reminder of the sacredness and ancient nature of the land and of your people. I pay full-bodied respects to the Wurundjeri Elders past and present. I am committed to having the movement of my business to be an embodiment of respect to the Aboriginal community.
