Optimise – Details, episodes & analysis

In today's ep I share 10 of my favourite wellness habits that are SO normal to me now that I do them without even thinking, that others may find weird, strange or not ever think to do!!

--------

🚨 REMINDER! 🚨

Because this is my birthday month I am gifting any new health coaching clients who start in October a free WHOOP! The band and a membership for a whole 12 months 💪🏼

a) Im feeling generous

b) gifts is one of my love languages

& c) I know how beneficial having a Whoop has been for me to experience better sleep, more energy, a more regulated, calm nervous system + feel more resilient + adaptive with my training but life in general 

If you don’t know what Whoop is

It’s a device you wear on your wrist that monitors all your vital signs, your sleep - shows how quickly you fall asleep, what phases of sleep you are in throughout the night

& monitors your HRV which is the variation in time between each heart beat - reflects how adaptable your body is being from training, stress etc

& now steps as well !

It provides really useful data about how our activity, choices, behaviours + sleep impact our bodies + our health

⚡️

So if you have been thinking about health coaching + having support, guidance & accountability to optimise your health, improve your sleep, if you’re struggling with low energy or wanting to actually prioritise your wellness and how good you actually can feel..

now is the time!

The Whoop will give us real time data on how your body is functioning + combine that with my coaching & together we will be able to start optimising your sleep, nervous system + get you feeling more energised, calm, + in control of your health and your life

My coaching is a minimum 12 week block but you will have the Whoop for a whole 12 months

Different package options available + payment plans available so there really is an option for everyone, including you

Send me a DM on insta @iamsophiekate if you would like to learn about the different options and we can get your free whoop out to you ASAP!

A question I ask most of my guests is:

⚡️ What does Optimal Health mean to you? ⚡️

Episode #2 brings on my FIRST GUEST! Rae who lives in sunny Sri Lanka living her absolute best & most vibrant life 🌞

Rae is an exercise physiologist + transformation coach helping others reinvent their whole life using vision boards, neuroscience + movement.

This was SUCH a juicy convo + will really help you think about the reality you are creating & the mindset you are allowing.

🪩 We speak about:

How your environment can affect your joy & how to optimise your environment for joy

How you can optimise yourself to then affect the environment you ARE in (if you can’t change it)

How WALKING daily can help with this! 

Why movement must be a non negotiable in your day, especially for your mind

Moving your body as a self love practice & understanding & seeing your body as a physical being

Rae’s practices that are second nature to her now because of how they make her feel

Why having clarity on what you want is important & the trap we get in to that stops us from gaining clarity

The magic of vision boards for our brains & how they create a level of self trust & power

How neuroscience impacts your vision board coming true + the power of Cause & Effect

Hello & welcome back!

Today's ep I run you through my favourite elements to my morning that help me feel calm, clear, confident and excited for my day ahead.

I've gone through phases of having NO morning routines or rituals, to being TOO strict with it, & now I have a beautiful balance of having particular standards in place, behaviours & habits that are now second nature, & have found what works for ME

I share what I believe ARE important to incorporate in your mornings, & how you can start to figure out what is going to work out best for you.
