A Practical Guide To Dying
July 25, 2022 18:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBJust a warning this episode is a touch on the heavy side. It’s about death, a subject we don’t often give much space too, particularly in Western Cultures. This week I have guest Jackey Coyle, author of In The End, A Practical Guide to Dying on the show to talk about all things… well… death. Jackey is a writer and researcher who wrote her beautiful book in collaboration with Fernlea, a palliative care facility. In this episode, we talk about death, preparing for death and how to help l...
Let's Talk About Sex with Isiah McKimmie
July 19, 2022 18:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBOne thing I don’t talk about much in my work is sex. Not for any particular reason, it’s just not something that’s high on my list of priorities to research and form opinions on. However, I have lots of listeners who have asked about sex therapy so I’ve got Isiah McKimmie on the show to well, talk about sex! She is ridiculously qualified, with a masters degree in Relational Psychotherapy, a masters degree in Science in Medicine(Sexual Counselling/Psychosexual and a Post-Graduate Diploma of...
Ultimate Time Saving Tips from Amantha Imber
July 12, 2022 18:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MBI’m a sucker for time-saving tips. If there’s someone on Instagram who’s like ‘Oh here’s a hack that will save you time!’ I’m like ‘Go on. I’m listening.’ I am absolutely delighted to have Amantha Imber of Inventium and How I Work podcast. If you’ve never listened to How I Work get it in your ears she has some mega high profile guests including Micheal Mosley, Abbi Jacobson from Broad City and other very amazing people. Amantha has a new book out called Time Wise and she’s on the show to...
Self Improvement Bookclub - The 48 Laws of Power
July 05, 2022 18:00 - 25 minutes - 23.3 MBWe chose this book because it has a weird controversial reputation. It's kind of a guide for manipulating people but the author Robert Greene seems really legit and actually very smart so we are deeply confused. Join us as we dissect this thoroughly strange, contradictory, quite alarming book.

Why We Need To Stop Ignoring Quiet Resilience
June 28, 2022 18:00 - 10 minutes - 9.71 MBThe inspiration for this episode came from a newsletter I sent a few weeks ago about quiet resilience. I had so much feedback for an expansion of my thoughts so I put it all in a podcast for you! I see you, I know this is hard. You're brilliant. x Links https://carlyjacobs.activehosted.com/f/69 https://www.patreon.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.instagram.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.facebook.com/groups/veryexcellenthabits See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy informat...

There are 3 Types of Perfectionists - Which One Are You?
May 10, 2022 18:00 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MBToday's episode is with Nicole Baker who is a life coach for perfectionists. In this episode, Nicole talks us through perfectionism, what it means, what it's not, the different types of perfectionism and how you can work WITH your type to achieve your goals.

Changes, Fear and Coping with Loss of Control
May 03, 2022 18:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MBThis week I have my psychologist mate Fliss back on the show to talk about uncertainty, fear, boundaries around your own safety and dealing with loss of control. In this episode, we talk about... What's happening in our brains since we've been in a constant state of uncertainty for over 2 years The circle of influence vs the circle of concern 4 x 4 breathing An unusual side effect of meditation The Negative Bias Effect Tips for cutting back on catastrophising It's a great list...
Your Hormones with Ebony Crameri
April 26, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 57.5 MBThis episode has been a long, long time coming. It’s all about hormones - not just for fertility but for everything. PCOS, endometriosis, and general thyroid issues. Women’s hormones are ridiculously overlooked and can be the answer to many different issues you might experience. So this week, I have Ebony Crameri from Project Nutrition. She’s a fertility and PCOS dietician who helps women balance their hormones not just for fertility but for general hormone health. Can I just say Ebony i...
Overcoming Overwhelm, Delegating and Outsourcing with Michelle Broadbent
April 19, 2022 18:00 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MBSo recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the mental load. The whole thing. It unfairly targets women, and how no matter how hard we try to have equal partnerships, it never seems to work out that way. It’s that ever-illusive work/life balance struggle. So this week, I have Michelle Broadbent, a business strategist who is an expert in work-life balance on the show. This episode talks about delegation, outsourcing, and working with what you have. Whether you're a single parent or self-em...

April 12, 2022 18:00 - 43 minutes - 40.2 MBRecommendation episodes with Chrissy get so much love I decided to make them a regular series. Here's a random selection of our favourite things.

How To Be Productive Even When You Feel Like Garbage with Kate Litterer
April 05, 2022 18:00 - 54 minutes - 49.5 MBOperating on the assumption that we have the ability to function at 100% at all times is so unbelievably dangerous. That kind of all or nothing, smash-yourself-for-success trope is very prevalent but there are more holistic and gentle approaches to self-improvement and I’m here for it. It’s also unbelievably relevant for the times we’re living in, which are confusing, exhausting and sometimes kind of scary. This week I have Dr Kate Litterer on the show. She’s an expert in sustainable and w...
The Pressure Cooker
March 08, 2022 17:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MBThis is the last episode of this season and I’ll be back on April 7th with season 2 for 2022. So this is just a fun little episode all about all about pressure cookers/Instant Pots. In Australia at least they seem to be the weird cousin of the slow cooker but trust me, once you go pressure you won’t go back. Here’s my favourite ever pressure cooker recipe - https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a34417937/instant-pot-soup-creamy-chicken-wild-rice/ And try The Pion...

March 01, 2022 22:45 - 14 minutes - 13 MBThis episode is just a little rescue remedy for the week. The world is a hard place to navigate but there’s also so much good. Rest when you can, keep caring when you can, fight when you can and rejoice when you can. Take care of yourself this week. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Best Fiction Books We've Recently Read - #1
February 22, 2022 17:00 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MBI've had some feedback that some listeners would love more fiction book recommendations and as Olly and I each read at least a book a week, we're going to do a fiction book episode each season. We'll each recommend 2 books (4 in total) of fabulous fiction books you have to read. Leave a review letting us know if you want more of these episodes!

Featuring my mate Olivia Jacobs (yes we have the same surname but are not related), self-improvement book club is where we pick a self-improvement book and critique it. This season’s book is Care and it’s lovely. In this episode, we talk about… - self-care and how underrated it is - Not sharing everything of yourself with the world - The importance of kindness on your physical...
Millennial Money and Why We're Broke with Emma Edwards
February 08, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 58.8 MBMoney is one topic that comes up again and again so this week I have Emma Edwards from The Broke Generation Podcast. It’s a genius podcast aimed at Millennials (people born between 1981 and 1996) and looking at how we can make the most of our money in the weird circumstances we’re in. In this episode we talk about the unique money struggles of millennials, how we can make sure we're not working until we're 80 and how we can turn the garbage economy and dismal job market around... Here are...
23 Very Excellent Recommendations with Chrissy
February 01, 2022 17:00 - 55 minutes - 50.6 MBThis episode inspiration comes from an old friend who listens to the show and asked for me more recommendations.

In this episode, we talk about everything we're reading, watching, eating and wearing right now. Here are some useful links.

The One Question That Will Save Your Sanity These Holidays
December 14, 2021 17:00 - 10 minutes - 9.44 MBThis week’s episode randomly came from an episode New Amsterdam. Season 18 of Grey’s Anatomy is coming out waaaaay too slowly for my liking so I needed a new medical drama and honestly it’s not bad. There’s psychologist character who asked one of his patients ‘Is that a feeling or is fact?’ when she mid-spiral and it reminded me that I researched this whole thing ages ago and never actually did an episode on it. This is the last episode of the year and I thought it was a great concept to e...

Sleep
November 30, 2021 17:00 - 17 minutes - 15.6 MBThis week’s episode inspiration comes from my mate Chrissie from Hair Romance. She wanted me to do another episode on sleep and it’s been a while so I thought I would do a deep dive into sleep today. This episode will be less about sleep fixes (because we do actually know what we need to do - put our damn phones down!) but more about WHY we need to do these things. Warning - this episode is a bit scary and might make you freak out about your sleep habits. Be warned. Here are some useful ...
S02E41 The No List
November 23, 2021 17:00 - 13 minutes - 12 MBThis episode is a listener request episode from Steph who wanted to know what was on my No List. The original idea of the No List came from @wainwrightholly @miafreedman and @jessiestephens90 of Mamamia who wrote their own lists a couple of years back. I’ve heard lots of other prominent women in the media come with their own No Lists. Yumi Steines includes not doing anything for Christmas. As in nothing. She won’t so much as buy a box of Christmas crackers. So in the interest of inspir...
Whipping Your Digital Admin Into Shape with Dinah Rowe-Roberts
November 16, 2021 17:00 - 34 minutes - 31.5 MBOkay so I had to get an expert in here because I’m actually not that amazing at digital admin. I have high functioning anxiety which means that my brain never lets me forget a single thing. I still write things down in my calendar app but I’m never shocked when I see a reminder in there because it’s likely I’ve been worrying about it at 3am. For everyone else who isn’t totally highly strung I have Dinah Rowe-Roberts from Life Admin Life Hacks. I was featured on her and Mia’s podcast a few ...
Minimalism with Kids - False News?
November 09, 2021 17:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MBThis episode is listener Laura who asked me to expand on my minimalism, particularly when it comes to kids. I have one kid and she’s nearly three (that's just for context) but we've successfully lived a relatively minimalist life with her so far. This episode covers; Toys Clothes Babies Toddlers Essentials Other bits and pieces like hats and water bottles I've included a little bit about Montessori (we're not hardcore into that philosophy we just like a lot of the methodologies and ...
Growing Your Own Food with Hannah Moloney of Good Life Permaculture
November 02, 2021 17:00 - 40 minutes - 36.8 MBOver the last few years I think a lot of us had to look at our food supply chain with very honest eyes and realise that some things need to change. 7.3 million tonnes of food is lost or wasted every year while 5 million Australians go hungry 17% of total food available to consumers in 2019, went into the waste bins of households, retailers, restaurants and other food services The average Australian family throws away $3,800 worth of groceries per household each year The average Austra...
Self Improvement Book Club - The Secret
September 28, 2021 18:00 - 31 minutes - 28.6 MBWelcome to the new and improved Self Improvement Book Club! Featuring my mate Olivia Jacobs (yes we have the same surname but are not related that we know of) where we pick a self-improvement book and critique it. The first cab off the rank is The Secret. Spoiler alert - it’s garbage. In this episode, we talk about How poorly written this book is The mystery of why it got so much attention (like Oprah level attention) How we’ve read the book and still have no idea what The Secret ...
Cleaning Up Your Budget and Creating Investment Habits with Victoria Devine
September 21, 2021 18:00 - 56 minutes - 52 MBHow are your finances looking? It’s SUCH a loaded question and I hope I didn’t ruin your day. I feel like there are 3 money categories you can fall into. I Don’t Know (living fast loose), Medium (has a basic superannuation plan and maybe some savings) and I Eat Stocks and Bonds for Breakfast (swims around in their vault of cash like Scrooge McDuck). This week’s guest is Victoria Devine of She’s on the Money. Victoria a financial advisor who focuses on giving millennials financial advice...
How To Stop Re-Watching The Same Thing Again and Again
September 14, 2021 18:00 - 54 minutes - 50 MBSo a lot of us are in lockdown - fun times - and I’ve had some feedback from some listeners that they keep re-watching the same thing again and again and they want to get out of that rut. So this week’s guest if my very good friend Jordan Prosser who is a film director and screenwriter as well as just a massive movie buff. We are going to talk about our top 5 films of all time and then give some tips for how to find more films like them. Here's what we chat about in this episode... • Ea...
Resilience Tips Because Who The F*ck Knows When This Will End
September 07, 2021 18:00 - 52 minutes - 48.5 MBThis is an SOS episode. I had Fliss (my psych mate) on the show a season or two ago and seriously everyone loved her. I had so many requests to get her back on the show. Australia has turned upside since last season. Canberra and Victoria have been plunged into harsh lockdowns and the NSW outbreak is devastating. We're all tired, we're all over it. On a personal note, we’ve lost childcare again and for us, that’s the last beacon of hope. It’s really tiring with 2 full time working paren...
The Four Phases of Your Menstrual Cycle And How They Affect Your Productivity
August 10, 2021 18:00 - 53 minutes - 48.9 MBIt never occurred to me how much there was to learn about my period and menstrual cycles and when I started looking into I was horrified at how little I knew. This week’s guest is Lucy Peach, the Period Queen and in this episode, she tells us everything there is to know about the Four Phases of The Menstrual Cycle and how you can embrace them to take over the world. For real. If you’re interested in anything you heard about on today’s show just click here for the show notes. Don't forge...
5 Tips For Getting Back On Track When You Keep Getting Shoved Sideways
August 03, 2021 21:48 - 14 minutes - 13 MBWhen things are uncertain (and consistently uncertain at that!) it’s really hard sticking to your good habits. Illness, family illness, finances, job insecurity, the global economy, climate change… all of these things have the ability to totally derail the best of habits. The thing is, we can’t wait for ideal circumstances. They don’t exist. All we can do is keep trying. On that note, here are 5 tips for getting back on track when you keep getting shoved sideways. Here’s what I chat ...
Very Special Guest Episode: Catch Up With Kelly
July 27, 2021 18:00 - 55 minutes - 51.2 MBThis month has been a doozy so I'd thought I'd take a moment to breathe and reflect. This week's guest on Very Excellent Habits is my beautiful former co-host Kelly. In this episode we chat about all the things - what we're doing, how we're going, what cool things we've discovered. For old listeners, she needs no introduction. For new listeners, Kelly was once the cohost of this show when it was called Straight & Curly. Hope you enjoy this lovely catch up between two old friends. Here a...
Try These 5 Tidy Tips and Feel Super Smug About How Ace Your House Looks
July 20, 2021 18:00 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MBConfession time - I’m a reformed messy person. I’m not even that reformed if I’m honest. I leave shit everywhere. If I come to your house I’ll leave a pile of crap in my wake. Shoes, my bag, often little piles of jewellery I’ve taken off. My sunglasses, a scarf. Growing up I was the butt of family jokes. My parents called my wardrobe the Avalanche because when you opened the doors a land slide of books, toys and clothes would come spilling out. I’ve made a lot changes over the last decade ...
How To Care For Carers
July 13, 2021 18:00 - 46 minutes - 42.4 MBI think it’s really important to be diverse and cover the stories of lots of different people. I’ve never been a carer (yet - it may happen at some point) but I used to be a special ed teacher so I’ve had more than a usual amount of contact with carers. Currently, there are more than 2.65 million carers in Australia, which means about 1 in 11 people in Australia are carers. In the UK, it’s closer to 8 million. This week’s guest is Penny Wincer - she’s been a carer for both her mother and ...
Is Your Fixed Mindset Sabotaging You?
July 06, 2021 18:00 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MBWhen you hear the term ‘mindset’ what do you think of? I immediately think of MLMs, Tony Robins and On Being a God in Central Florida. Oprah springs to mind too. The mindset ‘industry’ - yep that’s a thing - is rife with sharks, privilege, classism and ableism. This doesn’t mean that mindset training isn't useful, it’s just important to proceed with empathy and caution in this space. On that note, this week I’m dissecting the construct of Growth vs Fixed mindset and whether our fixed m...
You Don’t Have To Give Up Drinking, You Could Be ’Soberish’ Instead
June 29, 2021 18:00 - 34 minutes - 32 MBStraight up, I have a very scary and sad truth bomb. If you’re an Australian aged between 24 and 44 your mental health and drugs/alcohol are the biggest mortality risks to you. Both of those are amplified if you’re a man. I imagine the same is true of any developed Western country. Yikes. This episode isn’t designed to scare you (I’m still very much a classic if somewhat occasional binge drinker, even after recording this episode) it’s just a chat about alcohol, our relationship to alco...
How to Make Your Teaching Career More Wonderful and Less Hard
June 22, 2021 18:00 - 42 minutes - 38.5 MBWhen I was a teacher, I always lamented the lack of tips and self-care ideas available for us. Most work/life balance tips act on the assumption that you have any control over your time when you’re at work. Tips like ‘negotiate a later start time with your boss’ or ‘go to the gym on your lunch break’ infuriated me. There’s no negotiation on time when you’re a teacher - it’s pretty much illegal to not show up on time. If you’re a teacher who is supposed to be on before-school playground dut...
How to Simplify Your Life with Subscription Services
May 25, 2021 18:00 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBIn a recent episode of Very Excellent Habits I was chatting to one of my guests and we both realised how much we love subscription services. I didn’t realise it but I actually have a lot of subscription services I use and they’re really great so without further faffing here are some subscription services you might like to try. Just a note - none of this sponsored. They’re things I use and love all the time or things I’ve seen that I think look cool. Here are the subscription services I ch...
5 Very Excellent Habits To Help You Stop Obsessing Over Your Body
May 18, 2021 18:00 - 48 minutes - 44.6 MBI used to think I waxed my legs because I enjoyed the silky sensation of smooth skin but the truth is I was taught to enjoy the silky sensation of smooth skin. My male partner wasn’t taught this. So if it was so great why doesn’t he do it? And would I have ever even thought about how my legs feel if the beauty industry didn’t bring it up all the time? If I lived in total isolation and my body looked the same as it does now would hate it? To be honest, I probably wouldn’t even think about i...
Goal Setting for Totally Ordinary People
May 11, 2021 23:38 - 14 minutes - 13 MBFirst up, I hope no one found the title of this episode offensive. It wasn’t supposed to sound like like I am saying you’re not special. You are very special, I promise. 99.9% of the world’s population are ordinary. It’s not an insult, it’s just a fact. I’m ordinary - I have a job that pays my bills, I wipe my kids bum several times a day and I have to save up to buy things. I drive myself places in my very ordinary car. I spend most evenings with my ordinary partner with our ordinary kid....
Should You Start a Small Business?
May 04, 2021 18:00 - 32 minutes - 30 MBHonestly? Business ownership isn’t for everyone and that’s totally fine. You need be a special blend of nuts and bananas to make it work without it destroying your whole life. So… should you start a small business? Only you can answer that question. I wouldn’t have my life any other way but the stress of the constant hustle, no paid holidays or sick leave and the extra financial burden of dealing with your own taxes and super might not be worth it for you. I wake up every day and I get to ...
How To Get Into (or back into) the Habit of Reading
April 27, 2021 18:00 - 39 minutes - 36 MBI’ve had a lot of listeners comment that they’d like more time to read and honestly, it’s a skill. You can absolutely train that muscle and get in some good reading time. So I thought I’d do an episode on how you can read more because reading is bloody pleasant and everyone should do it more. This week’s guest is Kristy from @sometimes_i_read_books on Instagram. I discovered her this year when I started posting book reviews on Instagram and she gives fantastic recommendations. I asked her ...
Minimalism For People Who Live in The Real World
April 20, 2021 18:00 - 27 minutes - 25.1 MBRecently on Instagram I did one of those 'make an assumption' about me style things and someone made the assumption that I’m a minimalist and I said, yeah I kind of am and that lead to me to sharing a few of my minimalist ways. Since I did that little series people have been specifically interested in what WE do that’s minimalist rather than more general stuff. So here are some minimalist things we do in our house - and yes I do only own a single pair of exercise tights and I explain why...
Resilience and Self Care Habits for 2021 - When You're So Burnt Out You Can Hardly Function
April 13, 2021 18:00 - 41 minutes - 37.6 MBWe’re all tired. So tired. Everyone has been affected by the pandemic, most of us directly. Half the world are entering their second year in lockdown and even though vaccines are being rolled out worldwide it’s still going to be a while before things go back to whatever ‘normal’ will be again. This virus doesn’t discriminate and we’ve all had to do hard things. Give up work, work from home, work from home with kids. Stop socialising, stop travelling, stop visiting each other in our homes...
Very Excellent Personal Style Habits - What You Need To Know To Nail Your Own Look
April 06, 2021 18:00 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MBPersonal style is really hard. For a variety of reasons. Your body, your budget, your climate, your job. No wonder we’re all a bit confused. In this episode I help you unpack and then recreate your personal style. From finding your I Feel Amazing Formula, to creating your Ultimate Style Sentence this episode is a realistic and inclusive guide for nailing your own personal style.

5 Habits To Help You Do Things You Don’t Want To Do
March 16, 2021 17:00 - 42 minutes - 38.7 MBShould we let our likes/dislikes be the keepers of our life? The answer is… yes and no… but we’ll get to that later. I had a great friend guest in mind for this episode. He’s the type of guy who historically has pretty great boundaries and doesn’t really bend on things he doesn’t want to do but in totally on brand fashion he didn’t want to be a guest on the podcast so he’s not on the podcast. This week’s actual friend guest is my mate Denen. He’s rad, you’ll like him a lot. In this epi...
Low Waste Habits That Won’t Give You Climate Change Anxiety with Anita Vandyke
March 09, 2021 17:00 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MBStraight up, I’m not zero waste. Not even close. I’ve always tried to not be a dick to the environment but zero waste is a bit too intense for me. The reason why is time. That’s where I fall flat. I’ve nailed everything that doesn’t involve time. Reusable water bottle - sorted. I’m a full on beeswax wraps girl these days. I have a car boot full of reusable shopping bags. I use a menstrual cup and reusable sanitary pads so my period is now totally waste free. Those things are sorted. I str...
5 Habits To Get You Through The Day When You Feel Like Crap
March 02, 2021 17:00 - 12 minutes - 11.4 MBThis week’s episode inspiration comes from - this week. I had another episode all lined up but this one just felt a bit more appropriate. We’ve had a really, really bad week and I know a lot of other people have too. We’re totally out of routine. We’ve had visitors two weekends in a row which is lovely but also very depleting for our little quiet yet busy family. Our kid has been monstrously sick and is currently home from daycare for her third day in a row. We’ve been squeezing our work in ...
