Self Love Podcast

In this weeks Quicky of the Self Love Podcast, Kim explores what true self care really looks like and why it has far less to do with expensive treatments and far more to do with the small choices we make every day. From getting out of bed and drinking water to moving our bodies, nourishing ourselves, prioritising sleep and paying attention to our self talk, Kim shares simple ways to show ourselves that we matter, especially when life feels challenging. She explores the idea that we can behave our way into self love by consistently taking small actions before we necessarily feel motivated, and reminds us that self love isn’t a destination to reach, but a practice we choose again and again. Kim invites us to choose three tiny daily self care rituals and discover how these seemingly small acts can create meaningful shifts in our wellbeing.

Quotes:

Self care is how you show yourself that you matter.
Keep making small choices that say, I am worth looking after, my body deserves this. My mind deserves rest. My heart deserves kindness.
Eventually those little choices become evidence, evidence that you can trust yourself.
Do not underestimate the little things, because it is the little things done consistently that become the big things.
Taking care of yourself isn’t only for the days when life is going well.
Sometimes self love simply says today we are just going to keep going.
Discipline becomes devotion, devotion builds self trust.
Self love isn’t something you finally achieve. Self love is something you practice day after day, choice after choice, moment after moment.
You simply have to keep coming home to yourself. One foot in front of the other, take the next loving step, and ask yourself, how can I love myself well today?

In this inspiring conversation, Kim sits down with Katie Johnston to explore her remarkable journey of resilience, self discovery and self love. Katie opens up about her experiences with bullying, personal trauma and her time on Married at First Sight, sharing how these challenges shaped her approach to health and wellness. She discusses the philosophy behind her book Health Through Self Love and her belief that meaningful change comes from authenticity, compassion and taking small, consistent steps towards better physical and mental wellbeing.

Katie also shares how she has transformed her personal experiences into a platform for positive impact, from her social enterprise cafés and online community to her humanitarian work in Uganda. At the heart of the conversation is the 500 Mums initiative, supporting Serena and the 38 children in her care while working towards a sustainable future through education, land and income generating opportunities. Katie and Kim explore the power of self love, forgiveness and community, and how individual actions can create meaningful change far beyond ourselves.

About Katie:
Katie is the founder of It’s Wild Wellness, a shame-free wellness community built around the belief that taking care of yourself shouldn’t come from hating yourself first.

She is the author of Health Through Self Love and has a background in behavioural science, psychology, life coaching and remedial therapy, with a particular interest in the relationship between our psychology, biology, behaviour and physical health.

Katie’s own wellness story has been anything but linear. After years of navigating significant changes in her body, weight, health and relationship with herself, she began questioning the traditional idea that lasting change needs to be driven by discipline, restriction or dissatisfaction with who we are.

Instead, her work explores what can happen when self-love becomes the starting point rather than the finish line.

Through It’s Wild Wellness, Katie brings together evidence-based health information, psychology and real-life experience to help make wellness feel less overwhelming and more accessible — particularly for people who feel like they’re starting from scratch, starting again, or have spent years believing they’ve somehow failed at health.

At the heart of her approach is what she calls the Positive Upward Spiral: the idea that one small act of self-care can make the next positive choice a little easier, gradually creating momentum across our physical health, mental wellbeing and everyday life.

Katie is also known for sharing her life very openly — including her experience with body image, obesity, weight loss, strength training and appearing on Married at First Sight Australia — while challenging the shame and judgement that so often surround conversations about bodies and health.

Her message is simple: you don’t have to hate yourself into becoming healthier. You can care for the person you are today while still wanting more for yourself tomorrow.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self Love is one foot in front of the other. It is the little micro things. It is the consistency and practice of those. It is not big, grand goals and gestures and this and that. It is the little things that you do.

Her favourite quote is : Nothing is Perfect.

Quotes:
I always just felt like there was something a bit different about me. I was felt a bit more mature, a bit more insightful, I could see patterns and I could see things that other people couldn’t realise.
I stuffed a lot of emotions down. I didn’t reach out to anyone because I felt like every time that I was hurting, I was being ungrateful.
I learned to mask a lot of things. I learned to suppress a lot of things.
I am big on empathy but I am also equally big on boundaries.
It can be part of your story as a victim or it can be part of your story as a lesson.
It has been such a journey and it has been such a roller coaster and life constantly presents new lessons, new challenges and new things to make you more resilient.
It is the hardest things that have happened to me, that has helped me realise how strong I am.
I can walk forward, take one foot in front of the other and use it as evidence of my resilience or I will let it crush me.
Don’t shame yourself, don’t judge yourself, don’t knock yourself, don’t put yourself down. Don’t talk badly to yourself.
Just celebrate each time you take a step forward.
Life just wants me to be stronger.
I need to see strong women who can go through the fire and come out the other end stronger.
You can just be a normal person trying to be a good person in the world, doing the best you can, and that is more than enough.
Forgive, not yourself, forgive others for yourself. Free yourself from it.
Love yourself from the start. That is your starting block. And then everything that you add to it is little practises of self-love.
If I can do it and I can stand here as the strong, self-loving, healthy, independent woman that I am. Given where I have come from, then I sit here as an example of that.
We need to see people being raw and honest and real and not just pouting on Instagram for a selfie. We need authenticity.
If I can take up a bit of that space and provide that for people, then that is my legacy.
The concept of perfection is flawed
Nothing is perfect, nothing has to be perfect.
There is no end goals. It is just one foot in front of the other.
It is those tiny little nudges and practising and compounding over time that will take you to where you want to go.

In this episode of the Self Love Podcast, Kim explores the power of setting a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG). A goal that stretches you beyond your current capabilities while remaining deeply aligned with your personal values. She shares a practical framework to help you uncover what you would pursue if failure weren’t possible, identify what truly matters, embrace the excitement and fear that come with big dreams, and consider who you need to become along the way. Most importantly, Kim reminds us that we don’t need the perfect plan or to feel completely ready before we begin. Confidence, clarity and momentum are built through action, so the invitation is to dream bigger, take the first step today, and regularly check in to ensure your goal continues to feel meaningful and aligned.

Quotes:
A big hairy audacious goal must be a goal that is big enough, bold enough, and exciting enough to stretch you beyond who you are today.
We are designed to fully grow, fully bloom. Fully be our best versions of ourselves.
I think gratitude and ambition can coexist right next to each other.
You can love who you are today and still be excited about who you are becoming.
You do not need to have the entire plan or have this whole strategy all written out.
Clarity often comes through action.
Confidence comes through taking action and then momentum will arise through taking action.
What can I do today that will move me 1% closer?
Sometimes the greatest gift isn’t actually in achieving it. It is who you become whilst you are pursuing it.
It is about discovering just how much it is possible when you decide to truly show up and back yourself in your own life.
You do matter! Your goals matter.

In this episode of The Self Love Podcast, Kim Morrison chats with author, speaker and business mentor Emma Maidment about the journey from a traditional PR career to building a business grounded in authenticity, personal branding and alignment. Emma shares how her own health challenges led her to listen more deeply to her intuition and rethink what success meant to her. Together, Kim and Emma explore the importance of understanding your personal values, recognising when your business or life is out of alignment, and taking practical steps to create meaningful change. Emma also shares insights from her work helping entrepreneurs find their flow, build magnetic personal brands and turn lived experience into a powerful foundation for business.

The conversation dives into the realities of digital marketing, the importance of testing ideas and listening to the market, and how AI can be used as a productivity tool without outsourcing your own decision making. Emma also opens up about navigating motherhood, grief, stress and the challenges of writing and launching her book, Find Your Flow, and how embracing both the highs and lows of life has allowed her to connect more authentically with others. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful message about self love, listening to yourself early and having the courage to create a life and business that genuinely reflects who you are.

About Emma
Emma Maidment is an author, international speaker and business mentor helping established founders build authority-led personal brands.

Her first book, Find Your Flow, was published by Affirm Press in 2024. It grew out of a decade of learning the hard way that a life which looks right on paper can quietly cost you your health, your intuition and your sense of self. Emma spent years being told her symptoms were in her head before she found the answers, and longer still learning to trust her own voice over the experts around her.

That experience shaped everything she teaches now. Emma works with founders through Flow States Collective, using her Authentic Authority Method to help them build businesses that run on identity and alignment, not pressure, performing or proving. She speaks internationally on authentic authority, personal branding and the end of hustle culture.

Emma is currently based in Crete, Greece, where she is writing her second book and building what comes next.

Her definition of Self Love is: Self love is listening to yourself the first time.

Her favourite quote is: Be who you are.

Quotes:
Seeing an opportunity, seeing a gap and just filling it has always been the way that my brain works.
There is a deep connection between what is happening in my emotional body. What is happening in my physical body and the unhealed parts of myself that is holding me back from really healing.
It was through these practises of yoga meditation, that for the first time I sat still, and I met these parts of myself that I hadn’t been able to reconcile.
I really learned to deeply listen.
When you don’t listen to yourself, you just get redirected, and it takes a lot longer.
Alignment before action is the philosophy that I hold.
You have to actually take the action.
You are allowed to change those top priorities.
You just realise how blocked you are by pushing those should’s in your big wheelbarrow all the way up that hill until the moment where it just becomes too heavy and you are just going against that flow.
Being in that state of flow is that moment of time when you are completely present. You are not thinking about what’s happened or what is going to happen, you are just completely immersed in what you are doing.
Sometimes you have to neglect your feelings and follow the plan that you are on and stick to the boundaries, even when it feels uncomfortable.
The more that you learn to trust, your intuition, your gut feeling. The more powerful you become.
Don’t outsource the thinking, outsource the actual repetitive, boring tasks that could be done by a robot.
I feel like how you lead yourself is how you lead others.
You feel it, and then you allow it to move. You don’t allow it to define you.
Self-love is being willing to back yourself when everybody in the room is telling you something different.
Learn to listen to those knocks.
Truth, translation, transmission and trust is what equals a magnetic brand.
When you really clear on who you are, then you are clear on who you are for. And that is what makes you magnetic.

In this heartfelt Quicky, Kim explores how self-love can look very different during life’s darkest moments. Rather than rushing to find positivity or a silver lining, she encourages us to honour our emotions, sit with the pain, lean on the people we love, and simply take life one day at a time. Kim reflects on how challenging experiences can deepen our appreciation for the ordinary joys of life and, over time, cultivate greater compassion, courage, perspective, and self acceptance. She shares a grounding ritual to support us through difficult seasons and invites us to reflect on what our challenges have taught us about how we want to live. Above all, this is a reminder not to postpone joy, to embrace being alive, nurture your inner light, and choose to live and love fully, even when life feels hard.

Quotes:
I truly think that not one of us escapes these moments in this thing called life.
Sometimes we simply have to live it.
I want to invite you to feel it, to breathe through it, to cry through it.
Self-love is simply sitting beside yourself in the darkness and saying, I’m not abandoning you here. I am not letting you go.
You also don’t have to rush the darkness.
Grief needs room. Heartbreak needs room. Anger needs room, confusion needs room.
You don’t have to immediately turn your pain into purpose.
Some days, our only job is to get through the day.
There is enormous strength and allowing yourself to be human.
The gift can be who we decide to become because we lived through it.
Life is happening right now.
Don’t allow what’s happened to you to extinguish the light within you.
None of us get through this life untouched.
Every single chance you get, shine your beautiful light, because you are here. And that is something worth celebrating.
