• 335. I’ve Interviewed Hundreds of Wellness Experts & They ALL Do These 5 Daily Habits 29.03.2026 20min

  In this episode, I’m sharing something powerful I’ve noticed after interviewing hundreds of the leading wellness, beauty, skin and business experts on The Face Yoga Expert Podcast. Across different backgrounds, specialties, and approaches, the same core habits come up again and again. These are simple, daily practices but they are also the foundation of long-term health, glowing skin, balanced energy, and a calm, focused mind. If you’ve ever wondered what truly makes a difference (without overwhelm), this episode is for you.   The 5 Things All Wellness Experts Have in Common 1. They take quiet space every day Whether it’s meditation, breathwork, journaling, or simply a few moments of stillness, they prioritise time to reset their nervous system and connect inward.   2. They move their body daily This doesn’t have to mean intense workouts—it’s about consistency. From walking to yoga to strength training, daily movement supports circulation, energy, and overall wellbeing.   3. They focus on prevention over cure Rather than waiting for symptoms to appear, they take proactive steps to support their health—through lifestyle, nutrition, skincare, and holistic practices.   4. They prioritise sleep and recovery Rest is non-negotiable. Deep sleep, relaxation, and recovery are seen as essential—not optional—for both physical health and skin vitality.   5. They stay curious and keep learning They are always open. Always evolving. Always learning—whether that’s through research, personal development, or new wellness practices.   If this episode resonates, I’ve created something to help you go deeper into one of the most important pillars—sleep and recovery.   My brand-new course: Face Yoga for Deep Sleep & Beauty Glow This course teaches you simple, effective techniques to: • Improve your sleep quality • Support your nervous system • Enhance your skin’s natural overnight repair process • Wake up looking and feeling more refreshed   Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Replenish Overnight Balm My new overnight balm is designed to work alongside your body’s natural nighttime renewal process, helping to: • Deeply nourish and hydrate the skin • Support repair while you sleep • Leave your skin looking plumper, smoother, and more radiant by morning   Together, these create a beautiful evening ritual to support both inner wellness and outer glow.   Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Replenish Overnight Balm: https://shop.faceyogaexpert.com/products/fusion-by-danielle-collins-pro-replenish-overnight-balm Face Yoga for Dream Skin and Beauty Sleep course: https://www.faceyogaexpert.com/face-yoga-for-dream-skin-and-beauty-sleep

This is exactly how I’ve built The Face Yoga Expert into a global wellness brand through small, intentional up-levels over time.   In this episode, I share: What the 5% Shift really means and how to apply it to your life and business Why small changes can be the tipping point for big results The importance of listening to your intuition in business decisions How to take aligned action rather than forced or frantic action Why consistency beats intensity every time How to avoid overwhelm and build success in a sustainable way Real examples of how I’ve used the 5% Shift to grow my brand, courses and community How you can start making your own 5% shifts today   Key Takeaway You don’t need to change everything overnight.

• 330. The 44 Life Lessons I Have Learnt In 44 Years (Birthday Special!) 22.02.2026 19min

  Tomorrow (23rd February) I turn 44… and as I always do on my birthday, I pause, reflect and ask myself: What have I learnt? What do I know to be true? Who have I become? In this week’s solo episode, I share the reflections, lessons, inspirations and deeper understandings I’ve gained over 44 years of life, business, motherhood, wellness and growth. Birthdays feel like energetic portals to me, a moment to honour where we’ve been and consciously choose where we’re going. In this very personal episode, I open my heart and share the 44 life lessons that have shaped me the most. These lessons span intuition, health, business, healing, family, energy, confidence, ageing and purpose, and I hope at least one of them lands exactly where you need it. Here are the 44 life lessons I’ve learned in 44 years: Trust your intuition. Always be kind. Friends and family are the most important thing. Everything is energy. Listen to your body. When your mind is stuck, move your body. When your body feels stuck, move your mind. Every physical ailment has an emotional onset. Let go of perfection. Consistency is key. The greatest business advice: always be of service. Say thank you as much as you can. Rest is productive. Slow growth is still growth. Be in nature more. Age is just a number. Breathe deeper and slower. Your story can heal others. Be here now.  Confidence is built, not born. Protect your peace. Small rituals create big change. Eat more plants. Comparison steals joy. Your work should serve your life, not run it. Education creates freedom. Natural skincare nourishes your skin. Simplicity is underrated. Celebrate the small wins. Quick fixes rarely work in the long term. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Say no if it isn’t right for you. Your voice matters  Healing is not linear. Energy attracts energy. Find joy. Trust the timing. Have more fun. Nourish from the inside out. Walk more. Be yourself. Use visualisation daily. Gratitude changes everything. Keep going — your best years are still to come. This episode is honest, reflective and deeply personal. It’s about growth without perfection. Success without burnout. Wellness without extremes. And ageing with gratitude. If you’re navigating change, building something meaningful, healing, raising a family, growing a business or simply trying to live with more alignment — this conversation is for you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for walking this journey with me. For more head to faceyogaexpert.com

  In this episode, I’m sharing one of my favourite simple yet powerful self-care tools for both skin and wellbeing, the jade roller. We explore where jade rolling originates from, why it has been used for centuries in traditional beauty rituals, and how this gentle practice can support not just your skin, but your nervous system too. I talk about the real benefits of jade rolling, including how it supports lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and fluid retention, boosts circulation to bring oxygen and nutrients to the skin, and helps release facial tension held in areas like the jaw, forehead and around the eyes. You’ll learn why jade rolling can help the face look smoother, fresher and more sculpted over time not by forcing change, but by supporting the body’s natural systems in a kind and consistent way. In this episode, I specifically talk about using a jade roller alongside the Fusion by Danielle Collins Pro Lift Moisturising Serum, a botanical-rich formula designed to hydrate, support skin elasticity and enhance glow. When paired with gentle rolling, this kind of serum creates the perfect glide while deeply nourishing the skin. The exciting thing about this episode is that if you’re watching on YouTube, there’s a full five-minute Jade roller Face Yoga tutorial that you can follow along with. I show you exactly how to use a Jade roller through simple, effective facial massage techniques to boost self-love, relax facial tension, improve circulation and naturally lift and sculpt the skin. You can listen to the episode while following the tutorial, making it a beautiful self-care ritual for both your skin and your wellbeing. If you’re listening on your favourite podcast platform, you can still enjoy the episode in audio form and then head over to YouTube whenever you’d like to try the Jade roller routine visually.
