Show 46 - June 30

Happy Anniversary to us!! Two Natural Ladies have been on air for a year!

Jo & Vicki celebrate with a care package sent from the UK and an intuitive discussion

Do we listen to our inner voice, getting those cues from our unconscious. This can be life changing as our story of an F1 driver displays. Or simple everyday things such as, do I colour my hair or go grey

We continue our discussion on environmental issues and answers as well as controversial veggies.

Vicki & Jo interview Jessica MacPherson from St Kilda Mums, a charity that supports over 20,000 families a year. Homeless, women in domestic violence situations, migrants and refugees being the main people they work with.

TNL’s usual discussions on hair, vegetables and picking up rubbish are also featured

Show 45 - June 23rd

 Unplugged and unhinged  – but unwavering nonetheless – the show must go on!!

Striving for better not perfect; handling setbacks and constant change

Two Natural Ladies certainly put all of these into practice when they had disaster hit- they were off air.

Finally pressing all the buttons worked (Laugh)and Vicki and Jo were on air discussing what happens when we are triggered, our blind spots and ways to keep up when feeling down.

Poetry is read, inspiring words quoted and the saying “we’re all in this together” is again a mantra for the times.

Eventually Vicki did her music quiz (sort of) and Jo showed how bad she was at it

With COVID-19 featuring after new lock down rules coming into force, Vicki and Jo continue to find discussion to uplift all of us

Two Natural Ladies Poem   

This is Vicki

This Jo

And we are the two

Natural ladies

 

We are two

Natural and  wise

Ladies of course

We love natural highs

 

We met at an expo

For health and well being

We promote Eco Cleaning 

…and living lives of our Dreams

 

Community and connecting 

Laughter, entertaining 

We love being inspiring

For others to share in 

 

Together we are perfect 

Tongue in cheek, 

Uplifting in a world of hectic

Creating magic

 

Challenged and struggling 

People everywhere

Who we may be supporting  

With a little bit of care 

 

We speak this - and more on radio

Every Tuesday morn

We hope you are listening 

We are on around dawn

 

It’s simple not easy

To help others out

What we say has meaning

And is worth shouting out

 

Environment is key

For our planet to be

Like care for the penguins

Who live in our sea

 

Pick up three little

Pieces of rubbish you see

Every day every where

It’s quick and it’s free

 

Together we can do it

Make the world as we want it

With peace love and happiness 

The central focus 

 

We wear many hats with colour that varies 

Some may think we are a couple of crazies 

This is Vicki, This is Jo

And we are the Two Natural ladies

Written by Jo &Vicki
