What do you cook with, what shouldn’t you heat and what should you stay away from? The Up For A Chatters talk all about fats, delving into the fat we put on our skin as well as what we eat. It’s confusing, for decades we’ve been told fats are bad and now there is talk that fat is good. But what fat is good, is it saturated, polyunsaturated, omega 3, 6 or 9. And what about our skin oils, is Bioil safe and what about essential oils. The topic is huge and the chatters try as much as they can to fit in all the aspects of fats and oils for cooking, dressings and skincare.

How to do it, how to get started and the joy of it all. Carren has started to coconut pull but is struggling to get past 1 minute. Kim and Cyndi teach her the tricks of their 20 minute morning routine. The conversation morphs from coconut pulling to what we put down our sinks and delves into social and environmental conscience, which then turns into a discussion on the 2015 book Dark Emu by Bruce Pascoe. It’s a sign of the times, realising that what we’ve been told about toothpastes, brushing teeth and even our own Australian history is perhaps not what is seems. Listen in on an education not to be missed.

This week Carren and Kim are talking all about their brand new collaboration called ‘The Essential Miracle Retreat’ to be held on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland 10th – 12th June 2016! If you would like to spend a weekend with these two here’s a taster of what you can expect!
Everyone has been asking us how we do it. We’ve been getting calls, emails and requests for the last three years asking how we create magic and magnificence with such ease (especially NOW given how tough life can get ). How do we keep surrounding ourselves with abundance, bliss and peace when life has thrown Carren challenge after challenge in the form of suicide, terrorism and illness and for Kim, how does she keep the home fires burining and the family functioning when her own yearning for greater experience and growth often forces her to chose her focus.
At The Essential Miracle Retreat we are peeling back the curtain to share EVERYTHING we know about creating a purposeful life and living with powerful, profitable intentions day after day. Taking you behind the scenes of self mentorship, self discovery and self realisation, you’ll be doing a new dance in no time!’ Carren and Kim
