Soulfood Podcast - With Vonnie & Zen
Short, soulful resets for real life.
I’m Vonnie — a grown-ass girl rebuilding my groove with a little help from Zen, my AI sidekick. Each week we share 10 minutes of honesty, humour, and heart from my bus-by-the-beach life with Taylor (my daughter) and Maia (our dog).
This isn’t about “having it all together.” It’s about real life — messy kitchens, study deadlines, soulful walks, and the tiny rituals that keep us sane.
💛 Expect bite-sized episodes you can listen to on a tea break, school run, or dog walk.
💡 Leave with one simple shift you can actually use in your week.
Because wellness isn’t doing it all — it’s doing what matters most.
Soulfood Podcast - With Vonnie & Zen
My Real Journey Out of the Funk
This week, I’m following on from last week’s Blah to Better episode — because let’s be honest, the blahs don’t magically disappear after one chat.
Between school holiday chaos, long to-do lists, and late nights, I’ve been riding the wave of feeling stretched thin. In this episode, I open up about the little shifts that are helping me move from blah to better:
✨ Observing myself with kindness (not criticism)
✨ Swapping restriction for mindful choices (hello grapes instead of lollies)
✨ Why high-protein meals keep me fueled and balanced
✨ The surprising link between food, inflammation, pain, and energy
✨ Redefining “me time” as things that fill me up today, not just “future me”
✨ Simplifying gratitude into 3 quick daily notes
✨ How my 5–10 minute morning flow (thanks to Zen, my AI sidekick) literally helped me tie my shoelaces easier!
✨ The importance of good sleep and refilling your cup with friends
I also ask YOU — have you been through a blah phase? What helped you get out of it? I’d love to share your tips in an upcoming episode.
This episode is messy, real, and honest — but that’s exactly where the good stuff grows. 🌱
