Self Love Podcast

In this episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim sits down with Dr Andrea Robertson, an osteopath, naturopath, and nutritionist with more than 25 years of experience, to explore what it truly means to take an integrative approach to health. Andrea shares her journey from professional dancer to healthcare practitioner and how her own experience with burnout and chronic health challenges led her to expand her practice beyond osteopathy into naturopathy and nutrition.

Together, they discuss the importance of listening to the body’s signals and supporting health through balanced nutrition, movement, mindset, and nervous system regulation. Andrea explains how small, consistent lifestyle changes can create profound long term improvements and why symptoms such as fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and menopause related changes should be seen as messages rather than inconveniences to suppress.

The conversation highlights osteopathy’s whole body philosophy and its focus on the relationship between structure, function, and the nervous system. Andrea also shares insights into pain management, the healing power of touch, the benefits of strength training and walking particularly for women approaching menopause and the role of mindset in reducing the body’s stress response.

Andrea kindly offers podcast listeners a special discount for her three week inflammation detox program, designed to support the body in reducing inflammation through targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies.

About Andrea:
Andrea is an Osteopath, Naturopath, Nutritionist, and women’s health educator with over 25 years’ experience helping women reconnect with their bodies and restore their energy, clarity, and confidence.

Known as the Inflammation Queen, Andrea specialises in supporting women through perimenopause, menopause, and midlife transitions using a whole-body approach that blends functional medicine, nutrition, movement, mindset, and nervous system support.

A former professional dancer who performed internationally, including at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, Andrea brings a deep understanding of what happens when women push through stress, pressure, and disconnection from their bodies.
Her work is grounded in a simple belief: your body isn’t broken, it’s communicating. Learning to listen is the ultimate act of self-love.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self-love is listening to your body. Doing what is right for your body and that you love and that love you back.

Her favourite quote is: The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new by Socrates.

Quotes:
It’s been a very long journey of health and wellness and learning.
It is a big difference when you study something you love as opposed to being something you don’t want to be.
It was like I had these curtains close across the front of my eyes.
Knowing what I know now, I wish I had just dropped everything and gone the next day.
For someone to say to you, ‘it all makes sense’, when you’re feeling so unwell, that piece alone is really healing.
My elimination systems had stopped working and my body was carrying a toxic load.
That is when I really wanted to learn how to help people in this way as well.
Nutrition, movement, mindset and supporting your nervous system, they are all equal.
A little bit of everything improves everything but a lot of all of them improves a lot.
It is really about the one percent changes.
If it is done consistently over time, it has a really profound impact.
I don’t think enough people actually listen to their bodies.
Your body is giving you messages and signals all the time.
Anything that is opposite to good health is a whisper.
Your period is like a monthly report card into your health.
It is not junk food, because it is not food.
If there are numbers on the back of the packet, that is not real food.
Doctors are seeing people who are sick and potentially dying. That is where their focus has to be.
Naturopathy works in that space where you are not sick and you are not dying, but you are also not well.
It is never about treating everything at once. It is about finding the primary driver.
When you understand pain, the threat of pain is less, and when the threat is less, the pain reduces.
I am still a working progress in resting enough.
Be open to new things that may improve your health and wellbeing.

Quotes:
There is nothing wrong with you for feeling overwhelmed, disappointed, sad, tired or heartbroken.
Pain is not a sign of weakness. It is a signal. Pain is information.
We have to feel it to heal it.
Instead of asking, why is this happening to me? We could gently shift the question to “what is this asking of me”?
Your pain can become a barometer and it does show you when something really matters deeply or when a boundary has been crossed.
Resilience is not built by pretending things are fine. It is built by really feeling it.
By staying present and by choosing not to abandon yourself in these tough or hard moments.
I realise that my struggles are not detours. They are actually training grounds.
Your honesty and vulnerability gives others permission to truly feel and share.
Your survival, your story, becomes a beacon for someone else’s hope.
Ask what this is actually asking of me.
Self love is not about having it all together. Sometimes it is just messy.
You don’t need to have the whole story figured out to be inspiring. You just need to keep showing up with an open heart.
Trust that even now, something meaningful is being formed within you.

In this powerful episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim speaks with Sabeel Burgess, survivor, advocate and founder of Open Haven to share a story of resilience that spans continents and generations.

Born in Bangladesh during political unrest and later displaced across India, the UK, and eventually Australia, Sabeel’s early life was shaped by trauma, abandonment, identity loss, and homelessness at just sixteen. Along the way, she uncovered hidden family truths and began to understand how deeply generational trauma and early adversity can shape our nervous system, relationships and sense of self.

In her mid-twenties, Sabeel experienced a pivotal awakening, recognising that what she had endured was not normal and choosing to begin a conscious journey of healing. That decision transformed her life and ultimately led to the creation of Open Haven, a Brisbane based postcrisis organisation supporting women and children escaping domestic violence.

Open Haven bridges the critical gap between crisis accommodation and long term independence, offering transitional housing and holistic support including financial mentoring, practical assistance and ongoing guidance to help women rebuild their lives sustainably. With a compassionate and structured model, the organisation is helping break cycles of abuse and creating real pathways to freedom.

This episode is a moving conversation about survival, self-love, healing generational trauma, and turning personal pain into purposeful impact.

About Sabeel:
Sabeel is the founder of Open Haven and a lifelong advocate for women and children.
Shaped by her own lived experience of domestic violence, she transformed adversity into action, recognising a critical gap in support once survivors leave crisis and begin rebuilding their lives.

With a background in teaching and close work alongside social services and child protection, Sabeel saw firsthand how many women were left without guidance, community, or long-term support. A natural problem-solver and researcher, she established Open Haven in 2017 to address what was missing: post-crisis care that restores dignity, stability, and hope.

For Sabeel, this is not just work, it is purpose. Seeing women reconnect with community and thrive affirms her belief that lasting change is possible when survivors are supported beyond survival and into new beginnings.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is not extravagant or indulgent it is choosing safety and resting when it says stop. It is setting boundaries even when things are uncomfortable.

Her favourite quote is from: Rest is not a reward it is a responsibility.

Quotes:
I think there is so much power in story telling.
I often wonder why, why did I survive?
That was my entrance to the world.
From an early age I experienced quite a lot of trauma.
They say the first five years of our lives are the most formative and yet for me they were the most traumatic.
I am a woman of faith and I do believe I have a .
Open haven was born because of the adversity and difficulty that I experienced.
I remember feeling an incredible sense of Abandonment.
I lost culture, language and identity.
It was a time of difficulty but growth.
People provided a framework of support.
We all want to be seen. We all want to be loved. We all want to belong and most importantly we want to feel safe.
What I considered normal was not normal, it was a pivotal time.
There were days I didn’t want to get out of bed but I had to face it.
It is a journey and never linear.
You are choosing to go forward. Every day is a choice.
I needed time to heal.
I always loved community.
It is looking after every aspect of their lives and providing support.
I look at a perpetuator with compassionate.
Our women do not go back. They know they have a framework that will support them.
As a leader when you give your yourself permission to rest you give others permission to rest too.
Self love is modelling what we do. It is saying I am enough.

Be gentle with who you have been and be super proud of you are becoming.
Never underestimate the power of owning your story and showing up as your true self.
Learn to step up and out of the pain into the growth. That is where the true magic lies.

In this powerful episode of The Self Love Podcast, Kim speaks with Peter Norris, author of The Bank Robber’s Boy, a deeply moving memoir about growing up as the son of one of Australia’s most notorious bank robbers.

Peter shares his journey from a childhood marked by abandonment, trauma, and instability to becoming a successful CEO, athlete and advocate for kindness and personal responsibility. He reflects on pivotal moments that shaped his resilience, including a life changing decision at just 11 years old to stop blaming others and take ownership of his emotional world.

Together, Kim and Peter explore self love, forgiveness, courage and the profound impact of small acts of kindness. They discuss modern masculinity, emotional expression, relationship dynamics and the challenges facing young men today.

Peter also draws powerful parallels between athletic performance and personal growth, reminding us that we are capable of far more than we believe. This episode is a moving reminder that while we can’t choose our beginnings, we can choose who we become, through courage, compassion and everyday acts of kindness.

About Peter:
At thirteen, Peter Norris made the kind of call that defines a life. His father was a career criminal – Australia’s Most Wanted, to be exact. His brother? Cut from the same cloth. Grandfather? Same story. Crime was the family business. Chaos, the inheritance. But Peter wasn’t here to follow a legacy. He was brave enough to rewrite it. He walked away from the only life he’d ever known – and built a new one from the wreckage.

Forged on courage, not crime. On leadership, not lineage. A road paved with bold moves, not bloodlines. Raised on the run, Peter learned early… Read the room. Make tough calls under pressure. Stay calm in chaos. That instinct didn’t fade – it became his superpower. Today, he’s the CEO of a multimillion-dollar hospitality group. A people-first influence in an industry defined by burnout. Foster carer. Elite athlete. Best-selling author of The Bank Robber’s Boy.
Peter doesn’t just talk about transformation. He is transformation. And when he speaks, he doesn’t just motivate. He moves people. From executives to entrepreneurs, middle managers to frontline teams, Peter has this uncanny ability to cut through the noise and tap into something deeper – the part of us that already knows we’re capable of more.

His delivery is raw, honest, and impossible to ignore. He speaks with street-smart wisdom and lived experience – on courage, choice, kindness and the brutal beauty of becoming who you were never supposed to be.

His message is simple. And it hits like home: You don’t choose the hand you’re dealt. But you’ve got the power to play it like a winner. Peter Norris doesn’t point to what’s possible. He gives you the guts to go after it.

His definition of Self Love is: Self love is forgiving myself when I make dumb decisions. Letting myself dream big! Trusting my own worth.

His favourite quote is his own quote: The life you seek is discovered in the brave choices you are willing to make.

Quotes:
In my first 13 years there were so many adventures and so much trauma, so much happiness and also so many tears.
I never become judgmental on what people perceive as tough.
We all have different or varying tolerance for difficult moments and resilience.
My Dad despite really poor choices was a beautiful Dad in terms of being loving, caring, nurturing and protective.
My Dad had been through similar experiences whilst incarcerated as I had and I saw the product of that in him.
I just said no more I would not be controlled. I would not let other people’s actions control how I feel.
I just took my life into my own hands and decided that my mindset would be different.
I had these little breadcrumbs of kindness throughout all this trauma.
I have this capacity to put my mind to something and just be relentless until I achieve it.
I meet people every day who say I wish I could make this decision I wish I could do what you have done.
Young men are so focused on self preservation that they are probably not in tune with everything around them. Which is a hard skill as a young man.
It is amazing how many people are sitting in the I’m not getting what I want out of life.
Just listening to young men, there are so many issues I see at the moment, they are just so confused.
When someone like me with lived experiences can step into this space and say, I know clearly what you are going through, it is a really different conversation.
Being kind is a big part of it and not judging anybody on their own experiences or their poor decision making.
My book has ended up being a source of reflection and insight for so many.
To be seen, recognised and appreciated is huge.
Start with small acts of kindness. You just don’t know the impact you may have.
