The JOY Broadcast

Ali talks with her friend & chiropractor Debbie Townsend, also lifestyle advocate, author & Dutch Test Provider about happy hormones during the festive season. This conversation covers hormone health, stress, menopause, and how to keep your body balanced when life gets busy. Deep science made accessible and practical.Debbie's Wellness Triangle: Three Sides of HealthDebbie's Complete Lifestyle approach looks at three essential areas:Physical - Movement, alignment, exercise Chemical - Food, water, air, supplements, medications Emotional - Mental wellbeing and stressKey insight: Stress comes from ANY of these three sides. Poor diet is chemical stress. Lack of movement is physical stress. Anxiety is emotional stress. Your body responds to all of it.Chronic health is preventable through lifestyle. Your body is like a bank account - you can't keep making withdrawals without eventually running poor.The Stress-Hormone ConnectionWhen stressed (physically, chemically, or emotionally):→ Cortisol spikes → Blood sugar becomes erratic → Sleep disrupts → Sex hormones get suppressed (survival mode = no reproduction) → Everything compoundsResult: Exhaustion, weight gain (especially around the middle), mood swings, hormone chaos.Food is 80% of Your HealthStop worrying so much about running every day. Start with your plate.The sugar problem: Modern food is loaded with hidden sugars. When blood sugar constantly spikes and crashes, cortisol works overtime to compensate.Simple rule: Pair sugar with protein (nuts, cheese, eggs) to stabilize blood sugar.Menopause Doesn't Have to Be MiserableHow well you go through perimenopause and menopause depends on your stress levels, diet, movement, sleep, and how you've treated your body up until this point.It's not inevitable that this transition has to be difficult.You Can't Delegate Your HealthGary Barlow's story: Despite success and resources, he found himself struggling with alcohol, weight gain, and low motivation. After seeing his doctor, his first thought walking back to his car was: "Who can I get to do this for me?"Before he reached his car, it hit him: This is the ONE thing only HE could do.He went home, put on trainers, tried to run around the block, and thought he was going to die. But that's where it started.The lesson: You cannot delegate your health. This is JUST ON YOU.Ali's brings the JOY: focus Just On You, That's Joy!Anytime you hear the word JOY, remember: it has to be JUST ON YOU.Your health. Your hormones. Your happiness. Your choices.When you focus on what YOUR body needs, on what brings YOU joy - that's when everything shifts.Practical TakeawaysStart with food - 80% of your healthPair sugar with protein - Stabilizes blood sugar (nuts, cheese, eggs)Stay hydrated - Especially if drinking alcoholAddress stress holistically - Physical, chemical, AND emotionalMake deposits, not just withdrawals - Your body is a bank accountOwn your health - No one can do this for youDebbie's Healthy Hideaway Retreat3-day immersive hormone and lifestyle retreat in January With Debbie Townsend & Kimberly (medical herbalist)Learn how to eat for your hormones, balance cortisol, stabilize blood sugar, sleep well, plus yoga, Pilates, and breathwork.

You're already a master at manifesting—you've been doing it your whole life. You've manifested your current existence. The question isn't "Can I manifest?" The question is: What do you want to manifest next?In this episode, Ali shares a powerful Love Club Live session from the 11/11 portal, designed to build your confidence in your manifesting abilities. This is the final part of a three-part series on manifestation, and it's all about recognizing the magic you've already created—and using it to create even more.Key Themes✨ You are already a master manifester ✨ The power of being "unreasonably optimistic" ✨ The 5 Questions that prove your manifesting power ✨ The 5 A's Framework for Manifesting As If By MagicThe Big Quote"A pattern I've noticed in successful people: They're all a little bit delusional about their abilities. Not arrogant, just unreasonably optimistic about what they can figure out. While everyone else is listing reasons why something won't work, they're already trying it. Half the time they're wrong, but the other half changes their lives. Reasonable people don't build unreasonable lives."Translation: Be a little bit bonkers. Be a little bit delusional. Be unreasonably optimistic.The 5 Questions to Prove You're Already a Master ManifesterAli guides you through five powerful questions designed to help you see the evidence of your manifesting power:What were your dreams as a young child? What did you imagine for yourself?Where are you living the reality of what was once a dream you never thought possible? Look at your life right now—what "impossible" things have you already manifested?In the miracle of the dream coming true—what was down to you? What actions, beliefs, attitudes did you bring? And what was magic, synchronicity, divine timing?What are your dreams now? Big, small, specific, abstract, watercolor? What do you want?You have dreams you don't even know about yet. How does that make you feel?These questions help you see: you've already manifested incredible things. You just don't give yourself credit for it.The 5 A's: Manifesting As If By Magic FrameworkAli's signature manifesting process:1. ASK - Place your order. What do you want? Be specific (like the exact Apple Watch with the raspberry band) or specific in feeling (I want to be happy).2. ACKNOWLEDGE - Notice the dominant negative thought working against it. Don't ignore it—acknowledge it, then drop it or dissolve it.3. ASSUME - Step into the energy of already having it. Assume the identity of someone who already has what you want.4. ACT - Take inspired action from that assumed energy. When you assume it's already happened, you know what actions got you there.5. ALLOW - Surrender to the universe. Trust the process. Trust the magic. Allow it to unfold in ways that might exceed your expectations.Real Example: The Apple Watch StoryAli wanted the latest Apple Watch with heart monitoring (for health anxiety around palpitations). The delivery wouldn't arrive in time for her London trip. She placed the order anyway, trusting Apple would "blow her mind."Her husband James cancelled the online order—because he'd gone into the Leeds shop and bought her the exact watch she wanted with the exact raspberry pink band she wanted, in time for her trip.That's magic manifesting. Ask, acknowledge doubt, assume it'll work out, act on it, allow the magic to unfold.Key Takeaways→ You're already a master manifester—you just need to recognize it → Be "unreasonably optimistic" about what you can create → Stop being a forensic accountant of your failurhttps://www.alimortimer.com/

This is intentional creation backed by neuroscience and energy.Key Takeaways✨ Your brain filters reality based on your beliefs—change your beliefs, change what you see ✨ You can't manifest from fear, shame, or anger—you have to raise your frequency first ✨ The more you believe in the process, the faster it works ✨ Manifestation is Ask + Acknowledge + Assume + Act + AllowThe 5 A's Manifesting ProcessASK - Place your order.
