Carren, Cyndi and Kim have just been in Fiji doing an Awaken the Change Within Retreat with delegates. They start the podcast by talking about the importance of retreating out of routine and everyday life in order to focus on what’s important in life. When we become trapped in the routine and hum drum of life it’s hard to stick your head out of the tall trees in order to get an overall picture of what you really want your life to be. Retreating to an educational retreat is one way to get a new perspective on life. The Up for A Chat girls are joined in this podcast by two of the delegates, sisters; Kaylene and Naomi.

Carren, Kim and Cyndi start this podcast with the discovery of a new book and mentor they have discovered in the field of addiction. They all have AHA moments as to the similarity between all addictions, but they find it perplexing as to why a food addiction is treated so differently to drugs or alcohol when in actual fact they should be treated the same. Sugar is the main topic and how the food industry has created this addiction knowingly, and The Up For A Chat girls give solutions as to how to break this and other food addictions.

Kim has just been to the US to study in Houston. Her studies took her further into her love of who we are and why we do what we do. Is it Nurture or Nature or a mix of the two. Why is someone orderly and neat and others playful and fun, what drives us to do what we do, why do we act certain ways under stress as opposed to when life is going well? This hour fascinates Carren and Cyndi as Kim explains the basics of human communication and action and the four basic temperaments. It’s not one to be missed.

The average 4 year old laughs 300 times a day, the average 40 year old only 4. Now you know Kim, Cyndi and Carren love a good laugh they especially love a good belly laugh. Cyndi thinks that Kim is the funniest person she knows, while Carren believes she is hilarious (but we’ll let you be the judge of that). This podcast is all about laughter. When did all the hilarity get replaced with furrowed brows? Are we taking life so seriously, getting so caught up in the pursuit of success, so bogged down with our problems, so busy with our lives, so lost in the web of fiction spun by the mind, that we forget to look at life through the eyes of wonder and mystery and notice just how funny things can be? Enjoy an hour of stories and fun as the Up For A Chat girls laugh there way through 60 minutes of fun.
