Marj Hartmann isn't anti-mainstream schooling. She thrived in it herself. But when she couldn't find an education option that honoured her son's natural curiosity and innate love of learning… she decided to build one.

That was over two years ago.

Since then, she's received federal government approval, state government approval, and majority community support for High Trees Primary, a revolutionary nature based school on the Gold Coast however the local council continues to knock back and refuse the entire project.

In this episode, we dive deep into what's fragmented in traditional schooling, what a whole child approach looks like in practice, and what nature-based education actually offers children. It's a conversation about whether we're willing to evolve education beyond the outdated industrial-era model that prioritises compliance over curiosity and, it's about the cost of being a visionary in a system designed to maintain the status quo.

This is the High Trees story and if you're a parent, you need to hear it.

You'll learn:

- The neuroscience of why stressed brains cannot learn
- What nature-based, whole child education actually looks like
- Why connection is always the answer when children are struggling
- The correlation between early childhood intervention and our youth mental health crisis
- How to support your child's big feelings when mainstream schooling isn't working
- How $2 million has been spent on this project since 2022, with nothing to show for it (yet!)
- The real reason council keeps rejecting this project
- Why the power of the positive needs to be louder than the minority of negativity

If you're a parent questioning whether there's a better way… this episode will give you hope, clarity, and a vision for what's possible.

If this resonates with you, share this episode. Let people know what's happening. Be part of the movement for change.

Love you lots, Chani xo

Ash and Jase are the founders of one of Australia's most popular and worn labels, Sabbi. What started as two broke creatives who couldn't afford the clothes they wanted to wear has now become a brand in hundreds of thousands of wardrobes across the country. And this is the story of what it’s taken to get there.

If you've ever wondered what it takes to build a recognizable brand from scratch, this episode pulls back the curtain on the unsexy parts no one talks about. From packing orders in their home while juggling parenthood, to moving boxes around just to watch TV at night, to losing $10,000 on their first samples that went straight to the dump… Ash and Jase share it all.

This conversation is raw and deeply inspiring. We talk about the moment that set them into a fast moving whirlwind of growth and momentum where everything changed overnight, the mental load of juggling business and a family, how they navigate online criticism and cancel culture, and the mindset that's kept them going when most people would have quit.

In this episode, we dive into:

Chapters

00:00:00 Meet the Founders Behind Australia's Most Recognizable Brand
00:03:48 Broke Beginnings: When Two Creatives Couldn't Afford The Clothes They Wanted To Wear
00:05:48 The Moment That Changed Everything
00:08:11 Packing Orders in "The Crack Den"
00:10:02 The Winning Formula (Spoiler: It Has Nothing To Do With a Marketing Plan)
00:17:11 Navigating Online Criticism and Cancel Culture
00:29:01 The Mental Health Mission: The Margarita Tour
00:12:32 Business Partnership as Life Partners: Making It Work
00:42:18 The $10,000 Dollar Dump Run: Learning from Failure
00:44:31 Final Words of Wisdom From Jase & Ash

Together, they've created something that's so much more than a clothing brand… it's a movement of confidence, self-expression, and good vibes. If you're building something and feeling like giving up, this episode will remind you why you need to keep going. If you've ever felt like you're not enough or don't have what it takes, Jase and Ash are proof that you don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to start, stay true to yourself, and keep showing up.

Happy birthday season to all the Aries babes out there!

This episode is your complete guide to the Libra Full Moon happening today. If you've been feeling the tension between giving and receiving, doing and resting, or pushing and surrendering… this lunar event is here to bring clarity, balance, and closure.

Libra is all about relationships, harmony, partnerships, and reciprocity. And this Full Moon is shining a light on where things feel out of balance in your life. Whether that's in your romantic relationships, friendships, business partnerships, family dynamics, or even just the relationship you have with yourself… this moon is asking you to notice what's working, what's not, and where you need to either set boundaries or ask for support. I’ll also walk you through how to personalise this Full Moon to your natal chart so you can see exactly which life area is being activated for you right now.

In this episode, we dive into:

Chapters

00:00:00 Welcome to Aries Season and Libra Full Moon Energy
00:01:32 The Power of Arriving: Finding Peace in the Present
00:02:46 Personalizing This Full Moon Using Your Natal Chart
00:05:16 Connecting Back to the Libra New Moon from October 2024
00:09:56 The Libra Archetype: Love, Balance, and Reciprocity
00:13:13 The Five Love Languages: Speaking Your Partner's Language
00:15:30 Collaboration and Partnerships: Where Can You Ask for Support?
00:16:43 For the Caretakers: Balancing Giving and Receiving
00:17:46 The Mental Load: Sharing Responsibilities and Seeking Recognition
00:20:17 Inner Balance: Masculine and Feminine Energy
00:22:57 Poor Boundaries and Enabling Cycles
00:22:17 Reflection Questions and Closing the Loop

There's something so powerful about tracking the lunar cycles and seeing how the seeds we plant six months ago bloom into our current reality.

This episode is perfect for anyone who's feeling stretched thin, over giving, under receiving, or just craving more balance and harmony in a certain life area. If you're a caretaker, a parent juggling all the things, an entrepreneur doing it all solo, or someone who just needs to feel more supported… this one's for you.

Libra energy isn't about perfection. It's about fairness, reciprocity, and feeling seen for your contribution. So let this Full Moon be your permission slip to ask for help, create boundaries, and let go of what's no longer serving you.

Love you lots, Chani xo

If you've ever felt like there aren't enough hours in the day, or you've struggled with scheduling your calendar, time management, task planning or how to figure out when the best time to launch something, create content and just know when to rest… this episode is going to completely shift the way you think about time management & energy allocation.

I'm breaking down the exact system I use to plan my days, weeks, and months. This isn't your typical productivity hack. This is about working with your energy instead of against it, and using my secret weapon as a tool to optimise your schedule in a way that feels aligned, sustainable, and deeply intuitive.

Two questions came through on my IG question box that inspired this episode:

How do you juggle all the things you do?

How do I know when the right time to launch is?

Both of these questions have the same answer… and it's all about understanding the energetic seasons we move through every single month.

In this episode, we dive into:

Chapters

00:00:00 Welcome to the AMA Series on Time Management
00:03:01 The Two Questions: Scheduling and Best Launch Timing
00:04:46 My Planning system: An Introduction
00:05:41 Understanding How We Move Through (high and low) Energy
00:09:32 Extroversion vs. Introversion Tasks & Timing
00:14:03 Real Life Example: My Day Today
00:16:55 Yesterday's Example: Why I spent 48 hours down a rabbit hole
00:19:42 Using Claude AI to Plan Your Week
00:22:43 Different Tasks for Different Days : How To Allocate Correctly
00:25:27 When Things Don't Go According to Plan
00:27:37 Best Times to Launch: Avoiding Retrogrades
00:30:49 Fire Signs: Your Best Launch Windows
00:31:57 Air and Earth Signs for Creation and Planning
00:32:51 Rest and Self-Care (so important to take these opportunities)

I also walk you through my process for planning with the moon, including which houses are best for rest, which are best for launching, creating, connecting with your community, doing admin, and more. I also share how I use AI (specifically Claude) to help me organize my brain dumps and map out my week based on where the moon is transiting.

This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to stop forcing productivity, stop feeling guilty for low energy days, and start honouring the natural rhythm of their body - we are afterall, very cyclical beings! If you're someone who loves systems, astrology, or just wants to feel more in flow with your life and business, you're going to love this.

And if this resonates with you and you'd love to learn this on a deeper level with visuals, resources, and step by step guidance, please come let me know on Instagram! I'd love to create something more in depth for you if this is lighting you up.
