Join me here today for an inspiring conversation that I had with Jennifer Borg who is a 6/2 Manifesting Generator and multi-passionate entrepreneur. 

Jen is a mum of two boys, a personal branding and lifestyle photographer, and an activation coach. She also has an online shop where she sells her beautiful photographic prints and journals.

As you listen to the episode you’ll hear how she really embodies her Human Design and to me is the epitome of a Manifesting Generator with her warmth,  sustainable energy and her ability to have many creative projects on the go at once.

We talk about:

>> Jennifer's life of creativity & adventure and how she continues to expand on this in her life and business.

>> Her 3 highest values of connection, creativity and adventure, and the way they influence her lifestyle.

>>  How learning about her Human Design really allowed her to trust herself even more, to leave the  behind the ‘shoulds’ and to step into her greatness.

>> We unpack some areas of Jennifer's chart and how that aligns with her business

>> How Jennifer tunes into her sacral authority to make decisions and take bold action

>> How her Human Design reading illuminated her gifts and gave her the freedom and  validation she needed to follow what lights her up 

I hope that you feel activated and inspired after hearing this conversation! Enjoy x

MAGICAL MORNINGS

A slice of magic direct from our WelleCommunity.

Photographer, mentor and mother, Jen of The Calming Collective, pens a guest column about the magic inherent in the still of the morning. She demonstrates the power of an early morning ritual –– how it grounds and guides your entire day, improving the very fabric of your relationships, with yourself, with your loved-ones and with your world. Jen provides the perfect lens from which to welcome in the new year (and, if you’d like to follow in her footsteps, you can commit to a small ritual of your own by signing up to our 30 Days Welle reset, starting next week).

We know Jen from her involvement in our global Beauty of Motherhood campaign. Her seeming ability to squeeze every last drop of magnificence out of this life (and, let’s be honest, her love of WelleCo!) is as uplifting as it is inspiring. We hope you enjoy reading about the power of a perfect start.

Magical Mornings

“There is simply something so magical about mornings. The sunrise skies, singing birds, empty streets, and absolute stillness. It is exactly where I choose to be.

Every morning, I rise to the appreciation that today is a new day. A new day of hope and a fresh start, to start something new or to try again, to practice productivity or tranquillity. Yet, as busy mothers, business owners, or young adults, I know how far-fetched this magic may sound. Too often I hear “I just don’t have time - I don’t have time to exercise or meditate; I don’t have time to make myself breakfast or read a book; I don’t have time for myself or for my family.”

Let me ask you this: how many hours a day are spent scrolling on your phone first thing in the morning? Remember, the morning is there for everyone to enjoy, you just need to be present to experience the magic.

My morning always starts with a nourishing cleanse of The Super Elixir™ by WelleCo, then I continue my daily dose of wellness with 20 to 40 mindful minutes of meditation, a morning walk, connection with nature, a yoga flow or reading my beautiful vision scripted journal, ‘She Designed a Life She Loved’. Of course, my routine also includes the usual daily habits of brushing my teeth, making my bed and cleansing my face. As simple as these may seem, they are important to note as for so many of us, these become subconscious habits. The same can be true for the mindful habits we choose to implement. Eventually, they will become second nature. I call these my non-negotiables and they just get done!

However, the magic is not just about what you do, but what it does for you. My magical morning hour of stillness awakens my body, opens my mind, cultivates clarity and creativity to make clear and mindful decisions. I find I am so much more productive, and I am able to show up as my best self which definitely translates out into the world and everyone around me. It essentially allows me to create calm before chaos and set my highest intentions for the day.

True wellness is about nourishing the mind, body, and soul - a balance of all three is key! For our community and clients, wellness means advocating for the beauty of nature and all its wonderful benefits, both mentally and physically. It reduces negative emotions, improves focus, increases happiness as well as reduces blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension and the production of stress hormones.

As a busy mother I have learnt the key to nurturing my children is by firstly nurturing my own wellbeing. When I have properly looked after myself and spent the time and freedom to enjoy stillness I can show up as a more conscious and fun mum. I’m a better wife and a much more clear-thinking business owner. I live life at a higher frequency, creating moments that are filled with my highest values and when living through a higher frequency, you also experience a higher level of awareness, ensuring you can respond in those tough busy mum moments. Most importantly, regardless of age and responsibility, no one should ever lose their inner child. Laugh, be silly and create fun moments, surround yourself with your favourite music, food, and people.

“Everything is quiet and still, so magical even the sound of the birds chirping along with the steady breeze. Everything around me is so peaceful, just like my mind first thing in the morning. I absolutely love quiet mornings; the peace and stillness are exactly where I choose to be.”

THE BEAUTY OF MOTHERHOOD

Welcome to The Beauty Of Motherhood, WelleCo's celebration of women who inspire us through their commitment to others, while still making the time to nurture their own wellbeing. Here they share the beauty and wellness rituals they rely on to cultivate self-love throughout their busy lives.

Jennifer Borg is a lifestyle photographer, head creative of Calming Collective, a mother of two, and a member of the global WelleCommunity. She tells us how she begins her morning to benefit the rest of her day.

"I always start my day with stillness, just to quiet the mind. 20 minutes is all I need for a bit of meditation, yoga or even a bush walk. It really sets the day up for success, allowing me to be more present, conscious and definitely a more fun mum."

Jennifer Borg is a multi-passionate creative with multiple revenue streams in her business, from lifestyle photography to activation coaching.

In this episode of The Finance Fix podcast, we celebrate Jen’s TWENTY YEARS (😱) as business owner and how she’s navigated challenges from external ones such as the pandemic to more internal ones such as falling out of alignment with an income stream.

Thank you Jen for sharing the wisdom you’ve acquired on your journey and being such a role model about the power of creating flow in your business. This is feminine energetics at its finest 💫
