PAP 68: Cinnamon Morrissey – Passion to Product – the EveryMite Story

Cinnamon Morrissey, is the product developer and business owner of EveryMite, the allergy-friendly super spread.
Cinnamon and her husband have three sons. Cinnamon is a professionally trained social worker with no prior business training or experience; working in state government for her working career.
After having her third child William, who has Down Syndrome and numerous food intolerances, Cinnamon discovered she needed allergy-friendly nutrient-dense products for William that he could safely eat.
For example, William loved Vegemite but had to stop eating it as he was intolerant to its ingredients and was causing him ongoing gut issues. Cinnamon discovered that there were no alternatives to Vegemite William could safely eat. So over three years with a passion for cooking and creativity, Cinnamon experimented with creating one. EveryMite is the result of these years of development, and now William has a Vegemite-like spread he loves and thrives on.
When the word spread that this alternative existed, Cinnamon discovered that EveryMite was in demand. As such, she started a business from scratch to manufacture EveryMite and distribute it around Australia so everyone could access EveryMite to make their life easier too.
EveryMite is now available in most health food stores around Australia, with its demand increasing everyday as people with food intolerances learn there is a Vegemite alternative they can safely eat. Cinnamon has even found that people who don’t have food intolerances love EveryMite because it gives them a healthier spread – one that is preservative-free and nutrient-dense.
Cinnamon knows how difficult it is to have a son with serious food intolerances and gut issues.
As such, EveryMite’s purpose is to make life easier for people with a food allergy or intolerance.
EveryMite’s motto is to “Spread on a Smile, everyday” with EveryMite.
EveryMite has three versions now available- The Original, Low Aussie Salt, and Fodmap Friendly- which means that almost anyone can eat EveryMite.

PAP 64: Addiction with Tamala Ridge

On today’s show I am joined by my good friend Tamala who is an Addictions Specialist, empowering women to overcome their self-sabotaging habits-so that they can hold space for themselves and others with a higher level of integrity in order to increase their income, influence and impact.
If you keep coming ‘undone’ on your health journey, or keep self sabotaging yourself, the key to success and freedom is to understand WHY.
Can you conceive that we are more addicted to the come down than to the high?  Sounds crazy right, but it is true and Tam is going to explain why.
I think you will experience some major a ha moments listening to this!
Food and drug addiction are simply physical manifestations of an addiction to stress or to be more exact to fear…
our addictions are simply trying to turn off our stress response – the wind down wine – but they ultimately feed the stress response through the come down – the hangover
Our cells are physiologically addicted to adrenalin and cortisol
What we want to do is to become more addicted to oxytocin – love vs fear,
through our 4 connection strategies – self, others, earth and spirit – there aint no come down from these babies!!
But fear will ultimately rise again to be fed – and this is where mindfulness and EFT are so important as tools to overcome addiction.
We are more addicted to our fearful thoughts than we are to sugar!!
You can get a Free Masterclass from Tam on “The Root Cause of all Addiction and How to Overcome it ” here.
After having been a drug and alcohol counsellor for over 10 years – Tam realised that we have all been focusing on the wrong thing – that we are more addicted to the come-down than to the high! She has developed her own groundbreaking, earth shaking – completely upside down way of working with addiction and is having incredible results.

PAP 63: Self Love? How Selfish! With Kim Morrison

There is so much more to Kim Morrison than meets the eye. Tenacity is probably the first word that comes to mind. Her journey and all she has accomplished to date has all stemmed from her unwavering self-belief and her deep understanding that you must also take care of yourself first and foremost.
Kim set a world record as the youngest female to run 100miles in less than 24 hours in 1989. 68 year old world record holder Cliff Young was her mentor at the time and to this day lives by his ethos that success is 90% mental and 10% physical. She has used her running story as a direct metaphor for life – riding the highs, hitting the walls, pushing through the pain barriers, crossing the line and never, ever giving up!
Kim believes it is your inner power, passion and commitment and having truckloads of self-belief that distinguishes you as an achiever. It’s about visualising your dream and going for it – regardless of the feedback you receive or the challenges you face. As a 5 times best-selling author, creative director of Twenty8, aromatherapist, health and lifestyle educator and a multi-tasking mum and wife, Kim is someone who shares her essential tools for self-care, discipline, leadership and teamwork and most of all the importance of the art of self love.
In this episode we dive into all things really doable about Self Love and Kim walks us through her circle of Self Love.
We dive into:
– self care is not selfish it’s essential
– daily rituals for self-care
– the art of self love and the what are the 6 steps to get there
