A New Dawn for Nicholls with

Join our today’s episode with Sam Birrell, Australia’s National Party candidate for the seat of Nicholls. Sam was raised in an Australian countryside town between towns Murchison and Toolamba, on the banks of the Goulburn River, with his three sisters. His mother worked as a teacher at Shepparton High School, while his father was a lawyer.

In his words, Sam says, “I love this region, and am very proud to live, work and raise a family here. Many people would say that I never miss an opportunity to talk the place up. I want to be the MP for Nicholls because I want to see everyone here do well, with great educational and economic opportunities and pathways into the career of their choice. I want to ensure people are looked after by the government, especially those who are marginalised, while at the same time making certain that Australia continues to be one of the best-governed countries in the world. After all I have seen and learned, I am convinced that a locally engaged National Party member in a coalition government is the best way to achieve this.”

Powerful Quotes by Nicole

● Nutrition is not always about the food you put in your mouth. Nutrition is everything. Nutrition is the thoughts that you think, your emotions, your feelings, your relationships, your environment at large. Nutrition is everything you take in as a human being.
● If you’re stressed, you need to be able to switch it off as quickly as you’re able to switch it on.
● To come out of a breathwork journey and to bring your brainwave back from that theta brain state can probably be one of the most relaxing feeling that you’ll ever have.
● The soul is our spiritual intelligence and our body is just the avenue that we have to walk through life. I’m a very firm believer that communication and access to the soul is from the heart.
● Everybody has the right to their own healthcare. Not everybody is buying what I’m selling; but I’m not always buying what the medical profession is selling, either. So, it’s just finding what is right for us as individuals.
