On The O-Studio Podcast, Margo and Rosa, the dynamic duo behind Two Raw Sisters, delve into what wellness means to them. The episode is packed with valuable insights on balancing wellness and entrepreneurship, making it a must-listen for anyone looking to improve their lifestyle while managing a business.
The Journey to Wellness
Both Margo and Rosa's passion for wellness stems from personal health challenges. Margo's struggle with chronic fatigue and endometriosis led her to discover the transformative power of diet and lifestyle changes.
"I did this big gut reset and within three months my chronic fatigue had pretty much disappeared," she shares.
This revelation was a game-changer, highlighting the impact of natural, whole foods on health.
Rosa's journey was equally transformative but rooted in her background as a high-performance athlete. She struggled with an eating disorder and a training obsession, leading to severe health consequences. "I wasn't mentally well. I had really low bone density and didn't get my period until I was 21," Rosa recounts. Her recovery involved understanding the importance of rest, proper nutrition, and balanced living.
Intelligently Lazy in the Kitchen
One of the key philosophies of Two Raw Sisters is being "intelligently lazy" in the kitchen. This concept emphasises creating nutritious meals without spending excessive time or effort. Their cookbooks and app provide practical recipes that are both healthy and easy to prepare. This approach resonates with many busy individuals who want to maintain a healthy diet without the hassle.
Balancing Work and Wellness
Managing a business while prioritising personal health is a common struggle for many entrepreneurs. The sisters emphasise the importance of flexibility and self-care.
"For a long time, I never differentiated the energy between work and exercise," Rosa admits.
She now practices mindful movement and meditation, finding that these activities make her more productive and focused.
Margo and Rosa also stress the importance of delegation and team support in running their business which helps with compartmentalising and being present in the moment.
Regular self-assessment is crucial for maintaining wellness.
Rosa mentions, "Instead of having New Year's resolutions and checking in with ourselves every single year, we should actually check in with ourselves every quarter."
This frequent self-evaluation helps in recognising and addressing issues before they escalate.
