The Wellness Puzzle Podcast: Recent Episodes
Andrew Jobling, Heather Rendulic
We get one shot at life on earth, and when it’s over, it’s done, no second chances. That being the case, why not make it the best it can be? Why not aim to live a life of joyful longevity? That means a long life full of; purpose, passion, achievement, happiness, fulfillment, love, community, significance and joy. It’s possible, and it’s available to you, when you put all the pieces into the wellness puzzle, no matter who you are, where you live, what your age is, or what your circumstances are. It simply starts with a thought and a decision to live your best life, the rest you will learn as you listen to this podcast.
What happens when you’ve spent decades being dependable, capable, and strong for everyone else—but somewhere along the way, you’ve lost sight of yourself?
In this powerful episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I speak with Kristen Crabtree, author of Be the You That’s More You Than You’ve Ever Been and creator of Paramour Paradox, a self-recovery ecosystem born not from theory, but from lived experience.
For 52 years, Kristen describes herself as forgetting who she truly was—including 22 years in a psychologically abusive marriage. Eventually, she began the courageous process of rebuilding her life, peeling back the layers of expectation, conditioning, hurt, and invisibility to rediscover the person who had always been there.
Kristen helps people who have spent years being steady, dependable, and often invisible realise an important truth: it is never too late to feel alive again.
We explore identity, psychological abuse, self-worth, courage, healing, and what it means to “excavate” the authentic person underneath all the roles we play and stories we’ve accumulated.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I now?” or felt there must be more of you waiting to emerge, this conversation is for you.
It’s time to start digging, start remembering, and start becoming more YOU than you’ve ever been.
This is an honest, hopeful, and empowering conversation—not to be missed.

What if the greatest success strategy isn't about working harder, but becoming the person you're capable of being?
In this compelling episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Andrew Jobling sits down with entrepreneur, technology CEO, real estate investor, bestselling author, and devoted father Ed McCarthy to explore the life-changing lessons that emerged from a near-death experience in the Colorado Rockies.
Facing mortality gave Ed absolute clarity about what truly mattered. It inspired a promise to leave behind more than wealth—it inspired him to pass on the wisdom, principles, and life lessons that would help his children, and others, live extraordinary lives. That promise became his bestselling book, Life Letters: 5 Decisions to Wealth, Wisdom, and Happiness.
As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms the way we work, live, and create value, Ed believes success will depend less on technical skills and more on developing what he calls the real X-Factor—character, wisdom, accountability, purpose, adaptability, and intentional living.

In this deeply honest and compassionate episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, I sit down with Tim Tedder, an affair recovery coach and counsellor who has spent more than two decades helping individuals and couples navigate the devastating impact of infidelity.
What makes Tim's work so powerful is that it comes from lived experience. After facing the consequences of his own unfaithfulness, Tim embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery, healing, accountability and transformation. Rather than allowing his past to define him, he chose to use it as a catalyst to help others find hope in the midst of heartbreak.

More recently, he has focused on helping unfaithful partners understand the deeper reasons behind their behaviour so they can create healthier, more secure and more authentic relationships.

Tim's message has always been clear:
"To creatively communicate a message of hope and healing to wounded people."
This episode does exactly that.
It is an inspiring reminder that while betrayal may break trust, it doesn't have to define the rest of your story. With courage, honesty, accountability and grace, healing is possible.

What if the greatest magic you'll ever discover isn't outside of you... but already within you?
In this inspiring episode of The Wellness Puzzle Podcast, Andrew Jobling sits down with author, entrepreneur and eternal optimist Terry Bean to explore the extraordinary power of perspective, imagination, and choosing joy.
From playing Mother Nature in a fourth-grade school play—walking on stage in darkness and leaving transformed in a beautiful gown and rose-coloured glasses—to navigating the highs and lows of business, Terry has always believed that life holds a little magic for those willing to see it.
After studying Communications and Marketing, Terry built successful businesses in property management and real estate before life's unexpected twists led to reinvention. Through every chapter, one dream remained alive: a magical story she wrote in 2014 that would eventually become her book, ABRACADABRA.
Now living in New York while caring for her mother, Terry has discovered that life's greatest lessons often come through its quietest moments. Her mission is simple yet profound—to help people rediscover wonder, embrace kindness, and awaken the wizard within themselves.
In this heartfelt conversation, Andrew and Terry explore:

- The hidden gifts that often emerge from life's biggest challenges.
- How reinvention can become one of life's greatest adventures.

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with speaker, author and purpose-driven coach Larry Kesslin, whose remarkable journey has taken him from entrepreneurial success to discovering a far deeper definition of what it means to truly live.
Larry is the proud father of two incredible young adults and the author of four books, including his latest, The Joy Molecule. In it, he shares eight powerful stories of extraordinary people who helped him uncover five life-changing lessons about joy, purpose and authentic living.
After decades in business and a transformative journey through Africa that reshaped his perspective on life, Larry realised that success alone isn't enough. Today, he helps high achievers move beyond external achievement, reconnect with who they truly are, and create lives filled with meaning, purpose, connection and lasting joy.

What happens when the person everyone depends on finally decides to choose herself?
In this deeply inspiring, empowering, and entertaining episode, I speak with first-born daughter disruptor and transformational coach, Adaku Mbagwu, about healing, identity, and the courage it takes to rewrite your story.
Born in Nigeria and now based in Tulum, Adaku is not just a coach—she’s a movement. After building a 7-figure recruitment business, battling depression, and surviving a suicide attempt, she found herself at a crossroads. What followed was a profound journey of inner healing that transformed every aspect of her life.
As the eldest daughter of seven children, Adaku spent years carrying the invisible weight so many first-born daughters know too well—overfunctioning, overdelivering, people-pleasing, and quietly feeling unseen. But everything changed after a random and unexpected meeting with a Rastafarian man who became her coach and helped her see a different path forward.
Today, Adaku is the founder of Healed Hero, a global movement helping high-performing first-born daughters stop carrying everyone else and start living for themselves. Known as The First Daughter Coach, she works with six- and seven-figure women to break free from generational pressure, perfectionism, and burnout—without sacrificing ambition.

This is a heartfelt and transformative conversation that will challenge you to rethink success, healing, and what’s possible when you finally stop carrying the weight of everyone else.

In this deeply inspiring episode, I speak with physician, psychiatrist, researcher, and author Oluwole Babatunde, about resilience, reinvention, and the remarkable power of adapting through adversity.

Faced with grief, uncertainty, and immense challenges, he could have easily lost hope. Instead, those experiences sparked a profound sense of purpose, resilience, and faith that continues to guide his life today.
After becoming a physician in Nigeria, Wole made the courageous decision to move to the United States in 2014 to pursue a PhD in Epidemiology. Against the odds, he built an extraordinary career—publishing more than 60 scientific papers, receiving the prestigious NIH F99/K00 award, and becoming Chief Resident in Psychiatry at Prisma Health in South Carolina.

What if anger isn’t the problem?
For years, Davina Hehn tried to manage, suppress, and avoid anger—until she realised something profound: anger itself wasn’t the issue. The real problem was what happened when emotions were ignored, buried, or misunderstood.
In this powerful and deeply insightful episode, I speak with mental health coach, anger and conflict specialist, and podcast host, Davina Hehn about what it means to stop apologising for our emotions and start understanding them instead.
With more than 15 years of experience in forensic and counselling psychology, Davina has worked with professional athletes, C-suite executives, high-conflict families, and survivors of trauma.

What if changing the world started with changing just one life?
In this inspiring episode, I speak with entertainer, author, philanthropist, and charity founder Peter Nicholls, a man whose extraordinary journey has taken him from jeweller, to entertainer, to finance broker—and ultimately to becoming a force for compassion and hope across some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
Peter shares the powerful moment that changed everything.
In 1997, while witnessing the devastation caused by a tsunami in Papua New Guinea, he stood on top of mountains of rubble, overwhelmed by the destruction and the seeming impossibility of helping. It was in that moment of helplessness that a simple but life-changing idea was born: you may not be able to change the world, but you can change one.
That philosophy became “Change the One”—Peter’s mission to impact lives through practical support, kindness, and sustainable change.
Today, Peter and his team are creating meaningful impact in Vietnam and the Philippines, providing ongoing relief, care, education, clean drinking water, food supplies, school facilities, and pathways toward self-sustainability for remote and underprivileged communities.
Peter also shares the heart behind his beautifully inspiring children’s book, CC the Caring Cow, which follows CC the Caring Cow on a heartfelt journey to spread kindness alongside her loyal best friend, Bizz the Bee. Through warmth, friendship, and compassion, the story gently teaches children—and adults alike—that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. It beautifully reflects the values Peter lives by and the message at the centre of his life’s work.
Peter recalls that defining moment:
“As I stood on top of the rubble, trees, rocks and silt, three stories high that had been cleared off the road and stretched as far as the eye could see, I looked to the heavens in utter frustration and helplessness, cursed for the little I could do—the task was insurmountable.”
This conversation is a powerful reminder that even the smallest act of kindness can ripple outward and transform lives.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Peter’s remarkable personal and professional journey
• The life-changing experience in Papua New Guinea that sparked his mission
• The philosophy behind Change the One
• Peter’s inspiring book CC the Caring Cow and its message of kindness
• Why one act of kindness can create lasting impact
• The work being done in Vietnam and the Philippines
• Lessons in compassion, purpose, generosity, and service
• How ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference
If you’ve ever wondered whether one person can truly make a difference, this episode will leave you inspired to act.
This is an uplifting, heartfelt, and deeply moving conversation not to be missed.

In this deeply moving and inspiring episode, I speak with the incredible couple, Sheree and Justine Elliott, whose lives have been transformed through faith, community, forgiveness, and a commitment to helping others.
Both Sheree and Justin know hardship intimately. Sheree experienced homelessness, while Justin’s journey included neglect, anger, drug addiction, and prison time. Yet despite the pain and adversity they faced, they found a new path forward — one grounded in faith, family, and purpose.
Today, they dedicate their lives to supporting Melbourne’s disadvantaged and homeless communities. As founders of the YouTube channel The Short Straw Melbourne, they rally support, raise funds, collect donations, and organise outreach walks through the streets of Melbourne, handing out backpacks, essential supplies, and most importantly, genuine compassion and connection.
This conversation is raw, honest, uplifting, and a powerful reminder that no matter where we begin, transformation is always possible when people are met with love, hope, and forgiveness.
In this episode we discuss: Sheree’s experience with homelessness * Justin’s journey through neglect, anger, addiction, and prison * The role faith played in changing their lives * The healing power of forgiveness * Creating family and community when you’ve never had it * Supporting Melbourne’s homeless and disadvantaged communities * The mission behind The Short Straw Melbourne* * Why compassion and connection matter more than ever * How anyone can make a difference in the lives of others

In this powerful and deeply reflective episode, I sit down with Kelsey L. Green—digital minimalist, strategist, speaker, and community builder—to explore what it really means to curate your space in a world full of noise, distraction, and disconnection.
Kelsey’s story is one of resilience and conscious reinvention. Growing up in a traumatic environment surrounded by drugs, alcohol, and abuse, she learned early how to hide, distract, and escape just to feel safe. But through that adversity came a profound realisation: while we can’t always control our circumstances, we can take ownership of how we shape our environment—physically, emotionally, and digitally.
This conversation goes beyond surface-level productivity hacks. It’s about reclaiming your attention, redefining connection, and intentionally creating a life that supports who you truly are.
Kelsey shares how our digital habits are quietly shaping our relationships, our creativity, and our sense of fulfilment—and why setting simple, intentional boundaries can open the door to deeper presence and meaning.
At the heart of her work is a powerful message: community is not optional—it’s essential. Yet in today’s hyperconnected world, building genuine, supportive relationships has never felt more difficult. Kelsey is on a mission to change that.
Drawing on her diverse background—from nonprofit leadership and public advocacy to entrepreneurship and strategic communications—she now helps people build authentic circles of connection rooted in trust, alignment, and belonging.
Whether you’re navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected, or simply craving deeper relationships, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you show up—and who you surround yourself with.
In this episode, we explore:
- Kelsey’s journey from survival to self-leadership
- The hidden impact of digital overload on our lives
- What it really means to “curate your space”
- Why boundaries create freedom, not restriction
- The importance of intentional, in-person connection
- How to build meaningful community in a disconnected world
- Creating your “circle” from the inside out
Key Takeaway:
You don’t need to escape your life to change it—you need to curate it. When you take control of your environment, your habits, and your relationships, you create space for clarity, connection, and purpose to thrive.

Before becoming a global voice for transformation, Laurette was known as “The Woman of 101 Voices,” a successful actor and improv comedienne. But behind the performance was a life marked by anxiety, emptiness, and spiritual confusion.
After years of searching—traveling the world, visiting sacred sites, and immersing herself in alternative spiritual practices—everything changed in a single moment of surrender.
On April Fool’s Day in her twenties, Laurette gave her life to Jesus Christ… and in an instant, she was set free from alcoholism. No withdrawal. No relapse. Just complete transformation.
Four days later, she met her future husband.
Her life has never been the same.

If you’ve searched for peace in all the wrong places…
Or if you’re ready to experience real, lasting transformation from the inside out…

In this powerful and deeply practical episode, I sit down with Stanley Bronstein—attorney, CPA, life coach, and author—whose life transformation challenges everything we think we know about change. Once weighing 367 pounds, Stanley didn’t turn to surgery or medication. Instead, he rebuilt his life from the inside out through simple, sustainable habits—and lost over 220 pounds, keeping it off for nearly 17 years.
But this conversation goes far beyond weight loss. It’s about identity, belief, discipline, and the systems that shape who we become. Stanley shares the frameworks he’s developed—The Way of Excellence and his sustainable weight loss model—that help people create lasting transformation in every area of life.

With a unique blend of analytical thinking and grounded spiritual wisdom, Manal challenges the traditional idea of “managing” anxiety and instead invites us to transcend it.

What happens when the people who are meant to guide you through life are suddenly gone?
In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Mark Motsenbocker to explore his powerful story of loss, longing, faith, and ultimately—purpose. After losing both of his parents at a young age, Mark was left with a profound void, especially the absence of his beloved father. Rather than allowing that loss to define him, he embarked on a lifelong journey—searching for father.

- Do nothing – withhold your time, your presence, your generosity
- Give of yourself – invest in others and strengthen your own heart
- Receive from others – allow yourself to be touched and transformed
Givers, Mark says, are like saints. They awaken our potential. They call us forward. They help us run toward growth and become the very best version of ourselves.
There is no true beginning or end in this journey of life—only the continual opportunity to impact one another.
🌟 A Truth to Live By
“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why we call it the present.”

What happens when creativity, play, and purpose collide? You get Joel and Troy McRae — co-authors of delightful children’s books who are on a mission to inspire young people (and grown-ups too) to be more active, more creative, and a whole lot less hard on themselves.
Joel is the writer, Troy the illustrator, and together they’ve created two much-loved picture books: Birdwatching Betty and Giraffe Cannot Play Hide and Seek. What began as heartfelt gifts for the children of friends has grown into stories that are now bringing joy, laughter, and important life lessons to readers of all ages.
In this fun, thoughtful, and surprisingly profound conversation, we explore the idea of progress over perfection — in creativity, in life, and in the stories we tell ourselves. Joel and Troy share how setting a deadline can unlock creativity, why finding fun in every element of life matters, and how comparison quietly steals our joy if we let it.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to get it perfect to get it moving — and that sometimes the most meaningful things start small, playful, and imperfect.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why progress will always beat perfection
- The power of deadlines in getting creative work done
- How children’s books can carry powerful life lessons
- Finding fun and curiosity in everyday life
- Why comparison really is the thief of joy
- Creating for impact, not applause

What if your purpose isn’t defined by what you do—but by what you’re designed to carry and grow?
In this soulful and faith-filled conversation, I sit down with Dawn Stephens, a self-proclaimed Fruit Pot, whose life and work are shaped by a powerful metaphor: we are vessels formed by the Potter, created to bear fruit—not pressure, performance, or perfection.
Like the beloved main character in her award-winning children’s book The Little Pot, Dawn spent years searching for her identity through roles and titles—educator, wife, mother, fundraiser, sales manager, business owner, and even school principal. Along the way, she learned a life-changing truth: purpose isn’t found in what we hold, but in what God chooses to grow through us.
As Dawn shares, being filled—and emptied—isn’t failure. It’s formation.
Together, we explore how God uses seasons of pouring out and refilling to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit:
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Dawn also walks us through the deeper message behind each book in her children’s series:
- The Little Pot – discovering identity and purpose as a vessel of the Potter
- The Tea Pot – learning the beauty of serving and pouring into others
- The Oil Lamp – overcoming fear and shining the Potter’s light
- The Small Jar – understanding that God is never finished with us, and even our wounds have purpose
Beyond writing, Dawn lives this message daily—as an inspirational speaker, blogger, and the leader of EA Books Publishing, where she helps future authors bring their God-given stories into the world.
This episode is a gentle reminder for anyone feeling empty, overlooked, or unsure of their calling:
You are still being shaped. You are still being filled. And God is not finished with you.
✨ A conversation about identity, purpose, faith, and becoming fruit-bearing vessels—exactly as the Potter intended.

What happens after survival?
After the pain, the addiction, the loss, the rebuilding—who do you become next?
In this powerful episode of the podcast, Andrew sits down with Andrew Drasen, author of A Vision of Hope and creator of a transformative 90-day framework designed to help people turn pain into growth and live on purpose—not by accident.
Andrew Drasen’s work was forged in adversity. His journey through addiction, incarceration, loss, and recovery forced him to confront the deepest question many of us avoid: Who am I when everything I built my identity on is stripped away? What emerged wasn’t just a personal redemption story, but a practical roadmap others could follow.
At the heart of this conversation is identity work—the often overlooked but essential step between healing and lasting change. Andrew believes that everyone has something to recover from: addiction, grief, trauma, burnout, broken dreams, or simply a life that no longer fits. His message resonates because it doesn’t stop at inspiration. It delivers structure, clarity, and action.
We explore:
- Why healing alone is not enough—and what must come next
- How rediscovering identity creates direction and purpose
- The power of measurable, actionable steps in real transformation
- What it means to live intentionally instead of reactively
Andrew also shares the deeply personal story behind A Vision of Hope, the first book in a trilogy that bridges story and practice. Written in part while incarcerated—and finished minutes before his release—the memoir is raw, unflinching, and human. The trilogy continues with Reflections, distilling 29 core lessons from his experiences, and The Workbook, a structured program designed to turn insight into action.
This episode also touches on profound loss. In 2025, Andrew lost his fiancée Caroline to suicide after her long battle with bipolar disorder and depression. Rather than derailing him, her death sharpened his mission—to build community, reduce stigma, and ensure that no one has to face their battles alone. Her presence, and her absence, are woven into the heart of his work.
Beyond the books, Andrew is expanding his impact through Skool-based virtual communities—designed as scalable aftercare, recovery support, and resilience hubs for individuals, schools, justice systems, and treatment providers.
This is a conversation about hope with structure, growth with direction, and identity as the foundation of lasting change.
Whether you’re navigating recovery, standing at a crossroads, or simply asking deeper questions about who you are and how you want to live—this episode will meet you where you are and invite you forward.

Imagine waking up one day and not remembering the life you built — the faces you love, the dreams you once held close. For Shannon Michelle, that unimaginable reality became her truth after a horrific motorcycle accident left her in a coma, fighting for her life.
Before the crash, Shannon was one of Los Angeles’ most celebrated interior designers and a devoted single mother to her beautiful daughter. Life was full, fast, and vibrant — until one ordinary weekend on the open road changed everything. Struck by a car, Shannon spent weeks hovering between life and death, her future uncertain.
But the challenges didn’t end there.
As she began the long and painful journey of recovery, Shannon was dealt another devastating blow: a breast cancer diagnosis. Trauma layered upon trauma — physical, emotional, and psychological — forcing her to confront the deepest questions of identity, purpose, and survival.
And yet, from unimaginable pain came something extraordinary.
In this powerful and deeply moving conversation, Shannon shares how learning to live fully in the present — and trusting that it would be okay — became the foundation of her healing. Through loss, fear, and profound uncertainty, she experienced a rebirth of spirit, a heightened self-awareness, and a deep understanding of the human mind’s capacity to heal.
This episode is a testament to resilience, surrender, and the quiet strength found in acceptance. Shannon’s journey from trauma to triumph will challenge how you think about healing, purpose, and what it truly means to be alive.
If you’ve ever faced a moment where life felt unbearable, this conversation is for you.
Because sometimes, the most powerful words we can hold onto are simply: It’s okay.

What happens when your body finally says enough—and you can no longer push, hustle, or power through?
In this deeply moving and soul-awakening episode, I’m joined by Heidi Blackie, Occupational Therapist, speaker, consultant, and creator of UnshakableMe®. Heidi shares her powerful journey from chronic burnout and illness to healing, hope, and a profound reconnection with herself.
For years, Heidi lived life at full speed—doing more, achieving more, squeezing everything she could out of each day. But beneath the busyness, her body was sending warning signs she ignored… until life delivered multiple losses in a short span of time and her system finally shut down.
Unable to work, drive, or tolerate everyday activities, Heidi lost belief—not just in her body’s ability to heal, but in life itself.
And then… something shifted.
Through meditation, mindfulness, self-compassion, and a deep exploration of belief, Heidi began rebuilding herself from the inside out. She studied the biology of belief, the science of gratitude, attention, and intention—and made a courageous decision: to believe in herself again.
What followed was a slow, unfolding journey of healing, hope, and the discovery of what she now calls her UnshakableMe—an inner ally that grows stronger with every act of kindness, acceptance, and belief.
This episode is not just Heidi’s story. It’s a mirror—and an invitation.
✨ In This Episode, We Explore:* The hidden cost of high achievement and constant “doing” * How burnout and chronic illness can be messengers—not failures * Losing belief… and learning how to reclaim it * The mind-body connection and the science behind belief and healing * Why self-compassion is not weakness, but a catalyst for change * How adversity can become your greatest teacher * What it means to reconnect with your true self in a world that pulls you away

Life doesn’t slow down. The clock is always ticking. The question is—how are you choosing to spend your time?
In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, author, Ironman triathlete, nonprofit executive, and two-time cancer survivor, to explore what it truly means to live with intention when life reminds you just how fragile it is.
Jeff’s story is one of extraordinary resilience. Within just two years, he faced prostate cancer followed by Stage 3B colorectal cancer—all while continuing to draw strength from the mindset forged through endurance sport. A 15-time marathon runner and dedicated triathlete, Jeff discovered that the same grit, discipline, and mental toughness required to cross finish lines became his greatest weapons in the fight for his life.
His book, Every Mile Matters: Turning Triathlon Training Into Cancer Triumph, became an immediate Amazon top new release and offers far more than a cancer survival story. It’s a guide for navigating adversity, finding purpose in pain, and making peace with the countdown clock we all live under.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why life is a countdown—and how that truth can empower rather than frighten us
- How endurance training builds mental resilience for life’s toughest battles
- The mindset shifts required to face diagnosis, treatment, and uncertainty
- How cancer changes you physically, emotionally, spiritually, and socially
- Living with intention when tomorrow is never guaranteed
- Turning adversity into meaning, mission, and momentum
Jeff’s message is clear and unforgettable: Every mile matters. Every moment matters. Whether you’re facing illness, loss, or simply want to live more fully, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you use your time—and how you show up for your life.
This is not just an episode about cancer or sport.
It’s about making the most of every moment—because the clock is ticking, and your life matters.

I sit down with speaker, trauma and brain injury survivor, and mental health advocate Nicholas Ruchlewicz for a deeply moving and perspective-shifting conversation.
Nicholas has lived with anxiety and severe depression for more than 15 years. After a painful marriage breakup and a life-altering motorcycle crash that resulted in a traumatic brain injury, his world was turned upside down. What followed was a long, difficult, and humbling recovery—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Rather than allowing these experiences to define or defeat him, Nicholas chose to use his suffering as a platform for purpose.

Today, Nicholas is a powerful voice for hope.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with Isobel Franklin — Founder, Speaker, Mental Health & Trauma Recovery Coach, Author, and Men’s Rights Advocate — whose life story is a living testament to resilience, healing, and transformation.
Isobel has lived through the storm: addiction, abuse, homelessness, and losing everything she once knew.

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of DNA of Design, I sit down with Caleb Matthews, founder of The SeeLink and an international motivational speaker with over 20 years of experience helping people uncover their purpose and live in alignment with their true design.
Known for his unique blend of depth, humor, and spiritual insight, Caleb invites us to “see the links” — the often-overlooked connections in our everyday lives that reveal who we are, why we’re here, and how spirit, soul, and body work together according to our unique DNA of Design.
Caleb’s journey into purpose began early. As a teenager living in poverty-stricken Africa, he encountered hardship that awakened a deep sense of calling. That formative experience shaped the trajectory of his life — leading him through education, the traditional 9-to-5 grind, and ultimately into a life he loves, helping others step into the life they were always meant to live.
With a lifelong curiosity about the unseen side of life, Caleb shares how his fascination with dreams, spirituality, history, and culture became a bridge between worlds — from New Age festivals and Bible colleges to leadership circles, government dignitaries, and international radio. Across decades, he has spoken to thousands globally, built two businesses, interpreted countless dreams, and sat with people from every walk of life — leaders, skeptics, believers, and seekers alike — all searching for clarity and breakthrough.
His approach is refreshingly grounded:
✨ Tell the truth with humor
✨ Connect the dots across history and culture
✨ Translate timeless spiritual principles into practical tools for everyday life
In this essential and deeply relevant conversation, we explore:
- What it really means to live according to your DNA of Design
- How your past experiences are often clues to your purpose
- Why alignment of spirit, soul, and body changes everything
- How to recognize the “see-links” guiding your life right now
- Living with confidence, clarity, and calling — without striving
When he’s not speaking or podcasting, Caleb can be found exploring history, writing, or traveling — always searching for the fingerprints of the Creator weaving meaning through past, present, and future.
This is a conversation not to be missed — insightful, inspiring, and full of moments that may just help you see your own life differently.

What if meaningful change didn’t require more time, energy, or willpower—but simply learning how to use the moments you already have?
In this powerful and deeply relatable episode, I sit down with Daniela Wolfe, Licensed Master’s Social Worker, speaker, author, and host of the Best D Life with Daniela podcast, to explore how small, intentional “micro moments” can transform overwhelm into balance and burnout into clarity.
With over 27 years of experience supporting individuals through stress, life transitions, relationships, parenting, and emotional overwhelm, Daniela brings both professional wisdom and heartfelt honesty to the conversation. She openly shares her own turning point—navigating divorce while raising two babies and trying to “do it all”—and the realization that the life she was living was not the life she wanted her children to witness.
That awakening became the foundation of the work she now teaches others.
Rather than offering quick fixes or unrealistic routines, Daniela shows how intentional shifts in focus, mindset, habits, and daily structure—even in the smallest moments—can create sustainable balance, energy, and self-care without guilt.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why burnout often comes from how we manage our days—not how busy we are
- The power of micro moments to reduce stress and restore calm
- How to prioritize yourself without feeling selfish
- Practical strategies to “make over” your schedule one day at a time
- Why balance is not a destination—but a daily practice
Daniela is the author of Balance Breakthrough: A Practical Guide for Busy Professionals to Take Charge of Their Work, Life, and Well-being, where she equips overwhelmed professionals—especially women navigating major life transitions—with realistic tools to reclaim their time, energy, and sense of self.
This conversation is a reminder that balance doesn’t happen overnight—but with intention, compassion, and small daily changes, it is possible to take care of yourself while still showing up as a parent, professional, and human being.
If you’re feeling stretched thin, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself, this episode will meet you exactly where you are—and gently guide you forward, one micro moment at a time.

What happens when truth replaces performance—and purpose replaces pressure?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ryan Reichert, professional speaker, mindset trainer, executive coach, best-selling author, and podcaster based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Ryan’s life journey spans small-town America, global leadership roles, military combat zones, corporate boardrooms, and—most importantly—a deeply personal path of faith, recovery, and service.
A born-again believer in Jesus and a servant leader at heart, Ryan brings more than four decades of lived experience to this conversation. He served 23 years in the U.S. Army, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel, with four combat deployments and a leadership role as a Foreign Service Director. After military service, he transitioned into the Fortune 500 world, gaining firsthand insight into high-stakes decision-making, corporate leadership, and the inner cost of external success.
But Ryan’s story isn’t just about titles or accomplishments.
As a recovery advocate who overcame alcohol addiction, Ryan speaks openly about surrender, accountability, and the peace that comes from living in truth. His work today empowers overwhelmed professionals to break free from limiting beliefs, reconnect with their God-given purpose, and pursue meaningful, lasting transformation.
In this episode, we explore what it truly means to lead—from faith rather than fear, from truth rather than ego, and from service rather than status.
✨ In This Episode, We Explore:* What “peace in truth” really means in a noisy, performance-driven world * How faith reshaped Ryan’s identity, leadership, and purpose * The hidden emotional cost of success and constant striving * Lessons from military leadership that apply to everyday life * Recovery, responsibility, and rebuilding trust—with yourself and others * Letting go of limiting beliefs to step into aligned, authentic leadership * Why servant leadership is more relevant now than ever
🔑 Key TakeawayTrue peace doesn’t come from control, achievement, or approval—it comes from alignment. When we live in truth, rooted in faith and purpose, clarity follows, confidence grows, and transformation becomes possible.

What if the key to reclaiming your attention — and your life — was hidden in a simple moment, like noticing chairs in Paris?
In this thought-provoking episode, I’m joined by Ruby Ryba, former high school math teacher turned screen time strategist and author of How to Stop Scrolling. Ruby brings a refreshing blend of insight, warmth, and wit as we explore our complex relationship with technology and the subtle ways it shapes how we live, think, and connect.
Drawing from her background in education, her deep interest in psychology, and her own lived experience, Ruby invites us to look beyond how much we’re on our phones and ask the more important question: why. Through relatable stories, research-backed strategies, and plenty of “aha” moments, she helps listeners understand attention as a skill that can be reclaimed — not a moral failing.
The metaphor of the chairs in Paris becomes a powerful lens for slowing down, becoming more present, and rediscovering what we miss when we’re constantly scrolling. Ruby’s approach is empathetic, practical, and refreshingly realistic — offering adjustments that actually fit real lives, not rigid rules.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why screen time is about more than habits — it’s about meaning and needs
- The psychology behind scrolling and digital distraction
- How awareness can lead to freedom, not guilt
- Practical, compassionate strategies to reclaim your time and attention

In this powerful and grounding conversation, I’m joined by women’s health coach, speaker, and author Denise Mokadsi, who helps midlife women reclaim their energy, vitality, and sense of self by rewriting the beliefs that no longer serve them.
As the founder of the FeelGood Programs, Denise blends epigenetics, lifestyle medicine, behaviour change science, and embodiment practices to support women in designing a life that feels as good as it looks on paper. After years in health education—and her own profound midlife awakening—Denise realised that lasting transformation doesn’t come from striving or pushing harder, but from coming home to yourself.
In this episode, we explore how belief systems shape our biology, behaviours, and lived experience—and how midlife offers a powerful crossroads to consciously redesign our inner and outer worlds. Denise shares insights from her signature method, which integrates scientific rigour with feminine wisdom, helping women embody new beliefs rather than simply thinking them.
Denise is the author of The Belief Shift: Rewrite Your Story. Redesign Your Life. and is currently writing her second book, The Embodiment Shift, continuing her mission to support women through the messy, magical terrain of midlife with grace and power.
This conversation is honest, deeply empowering, and a reminder that midlife is not about losing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are.

In this deeply human and profoundly inspiring episode, I sit down with Magic Barclay, a woman whose journey from trauma, adversity, and self-abandonment to radical self-healing and empowerment is nothing short of extraordinary.
Magic never truly felt well growing up. Caught between a narcissistic father and an emotionally neglectful mother, she learned early that she could only rely on herself. Feeling like “the black sheep,” trust felt unsafe, and control became a survival mechanism.
In her teens, that need for control manifested through anorexia, binge-eating disorders, and eventually alcohol dependence. By 21, she was an alcoholic. And as life unfolded, her unresolved self-relationship spilled into relationships with others—leading her into a series of emotionally harmful partnerships and ultimately a marriage to a narcissist mirroring her childhood wounds.
To protect herself, Magic’s body became the shield she believed she needed. Morbid obesity felt like the only way to keep herself physically “off limits” to abuse. After 14 years of relentless emotional degradation—being told she was worthless, ugly, a terrible mother—Magic finally broke free. She fled with her children, dogs, and cats, leaving everything behind except the one thing she was determined to save: her family.
What followed were four grueling years of legal battles and starting life from scratch. Decades of ACEs, ACREs, chronic stress, and physical trauma took a devastating toll on her health, leading to multiple life-threatening conditions. But this was also her turning point.
Magic threw herself into study—learning the interconnected systems of the body, confronting her trauma, and rebuilding her physical and emotional health from the inside out. This commitment to understanding and reclaiming her wellness became the catalyst for a complete transformation.
Today, Magic stands as a powerful example of what’s possible when we heal the relationship with ourselves. She is now:
- An instructor of PNEI of Trauma
- Lead practitioner at Wholistic Natural Health Australia
- Host of her own podcast
- A woman who is truly well, truly loved, and truly free
In this conversation, Magic shares how she evolved—body, mind, and spirit—after once feeling devolved by life. We explore:
✨ The impacts of childhood trauma on adult health
✨ The hidden links between chronic stress, illness, and emotional wounding
✨ The dangers of self-abandonment and the power of self-reclamation
✨ How she rebuilt her health using an integrated systems approach

In this deeply moving and wisdom-filled episode, I sit down with author, speaker, coach, and creative, David Alan Brown, a man who has spent more than three decades teaching personal empowerment, leadership, organizational development, self-discovery, and spirituality to audiences across the U.S.
David’s journey is one of courage, reclamation, and truth. After years of living what looked like a life of purpose and power, he found himself losing connection with his inner strength as the demands of life, marriage, and family quietly eroded the relationship he once had with himself. Eventually, this disconnection led to profound mental health struggles and moments of deep internal crisis.
But David’s story doesn’t end in the dark.
It is a story of rediscovery.
Of remembering.
Of choosing to live authentically and joyfully as a Queer man in New York City, and of rebuilding his inner world piece by piece until it became a source of energy, creativity, and meaning once again.
Through this awakening, David re-encountered the inner voices he had abandoned—the instinctual/emotional, the actualized/behavioral, and the inspired/spiritual aspects of himself. By honoring and integrating these voices, he developed what has become his life’s work: Convergence, an online course that teaches people how to recognize, regulate, and collaborate with their inner voices in order to live intentionally and manifest the life they desire.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
- David’s early years as an empowered, energized teacher and leader
- The slow and subtle unraveling of self-worth—and how he found his way back
- How conversations with his inner voices became the key to healing and authenticity
- The creation of the Convergent Conversation and why traditional manifestation practices fall short
- Practical tools you can use today to deepen your relationship with your own inner voices
- What it truly means to build a relationship with joy
David’s most recent publication, Convergence, is a 27-lesson immersive course with hours of recorded teaching, worksheets, journal prompts, and live virtual community sessions—all designed to guide students toward intentional living through inner alignment.
This episode is more than an interview—it’s an invitation to reconsider how you speak to yourself, how you show up in your life, and how you might build a more honest, vibrant, and joyful relationship with your deepest self.
If you’re seeking clarity, encouragement, or a fresh approach to inner work and manifestation, this conversation will resonate deeply.

In this deeply moving and powerful episode of It Comes From Us, Jessie Torres joins us to share her extraordinary journey — one that began in trauma and transformed into triumph. Jessie’s story is one of unimaginable pain: surviving sexual abuse at the hands of her father, losing both of her brothers to murder—thirty years apart—and enduring an 18-year marriage of mental, emotional, and verbal abuse that left her spiritually shattered and numb.
But what emerges from Jessie’s story is not despair — it’s divine transformation.
Out of survival, she found strength. Out of fear, she found faith. And through relentless courage, she discovered that the only true limitation we face is the belief that there is one.
Today, Jessie lives with fierce purpose — helping others see their trauma through new eyes: not as punishment, but as preparation. She believes our pain is part of a divine choreography — that God never wastes our suffering, and that within every dark night lies the seed of our greatest light.
Through her lived experience, Jessie teaches us that when we can witness the gift in our pain — the muscle built through adversity — we begin to see ourselves not as victims, but as victors. She reminds us that forgiveness, self-compassion, and love are the keys to reclaiming our divinity and magnificence.
🌟 In This Episode, You’ll Discover: How Jessie transformed decades of trauma, abuse, and loss into purpose and impact * The moment she stopped running from fear and started standing in her truth * Why the belief in limitation is the only true barrier to freedom * How to find grace and divine order within even the darkest pain * The power of seeing yourself as the brave soul who got back up* * Jessie’s perspective on forgiveness, divine contracts, and the boundless human spirit

“The depth of our darkness is converse to the height of our light. If we can see the other side of the story, we can witness the brave one within us who got back up in the arena of life.”

As a Money Mindset expert, Pericles Rellas has worked with tens of thousands of people for over three decades.
About 30 years ago, he noticed that his coaching clients exhibited similar patterns around money. Regardless of how much more they made, their situation and experience around money stayed the same - stress, anxiety, overwhelm and treading water, being behind or just being stuck.
He knew there had to be something more to this, so he decided to study it. Over the next two years he discovered two things.
First, is that we all have a Financial Thermostat setting (or Money Mindset). This setting determines how much we can earn and keep as well as our thoughts, feelings and emotions around money.
Second was the 4 keys to resetting our Financial Thermostat so that money can flow more easily and abundantly in our lives while we experience a better relationship with money, ourselves and the world around us.
There are a ton of coaches who are great at helping you make more money. But what's the point if you can't hold on to it or if you are still are stressed, worried and have fear around money?
It's not about just making more money - it’s about resetting your Financial Thermostat.
In this conversation Pericles and I discuss his journey, the limiting beliefs we have about money that stop the flow of it to us, how to resent our financial thermostat to open the floodgates of abundance into our lives. Don't miss this cracking conversation.

Her father was a business owner who died at forty-two years old. She was just fifteen. The doctor said he died of a cerebral hemorrhage, but since she was grounded at the time for speaking truth to power again, she was pretty sure he died of her.
It was not until one day at the cemetery, when she finally broke down with her mother about how “all her fault” it was, that she found out it was not Her after all. In her shining moment as a mom, her mother said tenderly, “No, honey, it wasn’t you. It was work.” Although there was little she could do to help then, Madelaine have since built a career on a foundation of extensive education and experience to help other people enjoy happier, healthier, prosperous and productive lives—at work and at home.

Bob Martin’s story is as riveting as the narratives he crafts. Once a criminal trial lawyer deeply entrenched in Miami’s notorious legal battles, Bob began his writing career drafting legal briefs and essays.
In the wake of 9/11, disillusioned by the violence carried out in the name of religion, he conceived the idea of divine messages guiding humanity—a concept that evolved into his first book, Children of Abraham. Navigating an unfamiliar publishing landscape, Bob encountered every consultant and pitch imaginable. After a year of fruitless efforts to secure an agent or publisher, he boldly chose the self-publishing route—printing and selling thousands of copies directly from his garage.
His hands-on experience with grassroots publicity laid the groundwork for his next literary endeavor. With I Am The Way, Bob’s work captured the attention of Innovative Ink, a traditional publisher now poised to re-release Children of Abraham in April. Bob’s dual life as a lawyer and an author uniquely positions him to speak on both the creative process and the realities of modern publishing. His journey—from legal briefs to literary acclaim—offers invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of bringing meaningful work to market.
Now a two-time published author and Professor of Wellness at Elon University, Bob blends Taoist wisdom, brain science, psychology, and humor to tackle everything from breaking free of limiting beliefs to finding clarity and resilience in life’s chaos. He discusses a practical and inspiring way to help everyone, go with the flow. This is a wonderful conversation, not to be missed.

Jason Blyth's home, full of violence and volatility, caused an atmosphere whereby he was petrified as a child. The result meant he spent much of his childhood living with his grandparents and many years of countless visitations to psychiatrists. His first visit at just 33 months old. He left “home” a broken youth. Physically and emotionally abused, a life full of trauma, he spent the next fifteen years searching for a connection, a place in the world and a place he could feel a sense of worth.
Sadly, this only resulted in more destruction in his life, and those he associated with. Nonetheless, in those early years he had a small light that shone and he became a world class inline speed skater. He won multiple national championships, representing New Zealand on the international stage for a period of six years. As a gifted athlete, Jason played soccer in New Zealand’s National Youth League, as well as winning many swimming titles, triathlons, and the list goes on. This provided an outlet for survival as he continued to battle with the scars of his childhood. Sport taught him discipline, which Jason attributes to becoming necessary for his survival.
He left home at fifteen, and by sixteen, he had dropped out of school. Jason quickly entered a life of depression, full of anxiety and anger. He would give up on his skating at seventeen years, and instead indulged in drinking and partying to excess. It wouldn’t be long before Jason began building a career in music, which eventually would lead him to travel to Hollywood, to record music with world class producers. Desperate to please, succeed and belong, he found himself engulfed in a world of darkness that he had never experienced before.
He found himself mixing in the occult, where he was following some of the most prominent leaders in the time. It almost cost him everything, including his life. By 2018, Jason’s life had completely collapsed, he had actually gone from bad to worse. Having lost all hope, he checked himself into a psychiatric ward and then celebrated his 30th birthday in rehab.
During this time, Jason began to read an instruction book on life and how best to deal with its challenges. He had plenty, so it needed to be a good book… it needed to hold good news for this young man.
He began to read the bible. From there everything (and we mean everything) changed.
Jason is now unrecognisable as a person, compared to his former life. Through God’s amazing grace, Jason has overcome the destructive habits, and behaviours that had him chained to a position devoid of hope and life.
Jason is now focused on sharing his life story to give hope to those who are struggling. Showing through his experience, not just theory, that people can have hope. Showing that they can change and can lead fulfilling lives in this very challenging world.

On July 16, 2021, Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen was burned over while trying to outrun a wall of fire. He suffered 3rd degree burns over 60% of his body. He should have died that night.
After waking from a coma at the Utah burn center, Dan prayed to God. And just possibly, God answered by sending him a thousand angels in rescue, medicine, honor guards, therapy, workman’s comp, friends, and family.
This is not just a fire story. It’s a human story about the town of Red Lodge, Montana, during what is still called the “Summer of Hell,” when Dan’s burnover was just one of many horrific tragedies. It is about firefighters and their families and how they responded when, as Dan says, “Shit happens fast.”
Though there may be challenging pieces in the pages, to quote Chief Tom Kuntz: “We sleep well at night because 1) Dan knew what he was doing and did the right thing in a bad situation that was not preventable; 2) our organization did an incredible job to support him and his family; 3) we are fortunate that Dan is such a tough guy.”
In this conversation, I speak with Dan and A.J. about their stories, how they met, and how they came to team up together to write the book. There is so much in this podcast that will lift and inspire every single person. Dan is the epitome of courage, persistence, and loving life. A.J. is the epitome of compassion and community. Together, they are a powerful team inspiring people all around the world to embrace trauma, connect with others, and live their best life.

Louise Siwick is a global certified fertility coach, heart-based leader, passionate advocate for fertility in the workplace, and a fellow infertility warrior. She completely understands the unique emotional challenges faced by people faced with fertility challenges.
Louise and her husband faced a six-year fertility battle that changed her career, as much as it changed her. A career which included accounting at the world’s most famous strip club and a national development manager role. Her role now is to transform clients’ mindset to get them to a place where they truly believe they will become parents when the time is right—and to accept sometimes we can’t control over how that looks.
Louise had many external achievements including; a business degree, extensive travel, and confidence which saw her talk her way into Peru without a passport. It meant nothing when She and her husband wanted kids. She was 31 and until I was 37, they did every reproductive and fertility treatment you can think of.
In 2017 her specialist told her to take six months off. The mental and physical stress had led to coeliac disease, adrenal fatigue, depression. Seeing coaches and hypnotherapists, Louise uncovered so much about what was behind her lack of self-worth that manifested as infertility: unresolved guilt and fear around growing up with a beautiful brother with a major disability.
Since 2018, they've had two sons and a daughter. Three babies and the realisation our minds and bodies are completely linked which led to her also birth her business. She stripped back the layers, learned how be productively unproductive, and then started to heal. This is a powerful conversation for everyone.

I love my conversation with Andrew Matthews. His books, including BEING HAPPY, have sold over 8 MILLION copies in 48 languages. Andrew has addressed over 1000 corporations in 30 countries on attitude, enjoying work and resilience. His clients include McDonalds, Lenovo, Honda, Dell, Intel, HSBC, Motorola, Wal-Mart and Citibank. Andrew's talent is in making complex ideas simple. Andrew is popular with CEOs and surgeons, with teenagers and even prisoners.

Andrew has done over 5,000 media interviews on 5 continents and he lives in Queensland, Australia, with his wife and publisher, Julie.
These are the facts about Andrew, but wait till you hear the stories that provide the inspiration and content for Andrew's work. Dealing with being bullied at school. Watching his step-son overcome impossible odds to survive a horrendous car accident. Dealing with 78 rejections before he found a publisher for his first book. His stories illustrate that anything is possible, no matter the circumstances, if you apply joyful persistence to everything you do.
This is a wonderful conversation. Please enjoy

Having lived with lower levels of energy for a few years as she moved through my early 50's, Adrienne's life took a downward spiral that did not look pretty. She was no longer in control of her life. In fact, her life controlled her. Scared of what life would look-like 1-5-10 years ahead (if she did not make some drastic changes), she chose instead to live life on my terms.
Over a 12-month period starting with a 180% mindset shift, and she started to treat her body with the same respect she would treat her best friend. As a result, she lost the 25 lbs she'd gained over the previous year & half, rebuilt her physical, mental, emotional & spiritual energy banks and reclaimed her youthful VITALITY. She started to become aware of a few colleagues and friends complaining and suffering with their own varying degrees of chronic fatigue and how it was affecting the afternoon production. She knew what they were going through and it broke her heart.
Adrienne decided, if she could re-build then reclaim my energetic vitality, maybe she could help others do the same. As a result of this decision, she created the 'Energy Edge: Unlock Your Energy Potential' coaching program. She works with corporate professionals, small business owners and those (like her) with a foot in both worlds. Anyone suffering from that dreaded afternoon chronic fatigue, tired of living life on their chronic fatigue terms, ready to kick their fatigue out the door, and ready to tap into unlimited energy, needs to listen to this conversation.

Louise Johnson is a burnout prevention and recovery coach, dedicated to helping professionals and organisations combat burnout. Foremost, she is a burnout survivor. She connects wholeheartedly with her clients as she understands firsthand the pain and frustration they are experiencing.
Her unique advantage is her natural talent for spotting patterns (survival strategies) and gently yet thoroughly addressing the underlying concern to bring about healing. By healing the concern, the survival strategy is no longer necessary, and a healthier behaviour can be instilled in its place.
She knows how much of a winding and lonely road it can be to recover from burnout when those around you seem to have it all together, or they also can’t relate to what you are experiencing. When she was recovering from burnout, there weren’t burnout coaches or specialists who could assist her, and she really felt something was wrong with her. She learned through a lot of trial and error, research, and bounced from one practitioner and healer to the next. Her recovery took the scenic route – yours doesn’t need to. This is why she trained to become a coach and is devoted to continued learning in this area to bring tried and tested techniques and the most current information. She realised on her journey that work and achievement do not define us, but that we are great just as we are.
Her experiential acumen is backed by sound qualifications as a certified life-, wellness- and trauma-coach (The Life Coaching Academy Australia). She is compliant with the International Coaching Federation (ICF) core competencies, policies, ethics and code of conduct. She originally trained and received an Honours in Bachelor of Molecular Sciences (BSc) (Genetics and Biochemistry). She furthered her studies in business completing a Masters in Business Administration (MBA). In experiencing her own life challenges, she became interested in well-being and alternative healing therapies whilst still in corporate employment. Louise has worked in global corporations for the past 18 years in specialist roles at various levels. Industries include Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, R&D, Government, Mining, and Oil & Gas. This background allows her to easily relate to the various scenarios and challenges experienced in corporations
She lives in Perth, Western Australia with her husband, son and two dogs. There is never a dull moment! Here favourite things to do are to spend time with her family, explore nature, travel, learn new things and move her body.

Benjamin Smith's interest in health started at a young age. He remembers asking my dad who is a dermatologist, all kinds of abstract and philosophical questions. Why is the sky blue? Or why does the sun cause skin issues? He was fascinated with wanting to know why.
In his early 20s, he thought about pursuing a career in the medical field, specifically a naturopath. Life changed course on him and he got into the automotive detailing industry, owning his own company for the last 30 years.
All this time he was still interested in health and how the human body worked, but it was more of a leisurely pursuit. He read a few articles and watched a few videos here and there. It wasn’t until 2012 when he became more or less obsessed with why people get chronic disease. That year his sister died of cancer and he thought to himself, “does the body want to kill itself?” It didn’t make sense.
In 2014 he started to really dive “deep into the woods” and started to learn some amazing things about water, nose breathing and other things that could lead to optimal wellbeing. He started to voraciously read everything I could get my hands on about health.
Fast forward to 2019 and he was realizing he needed to share this information with people around him and with his loved ones. He thought, “I can become a health coach!” This way he can share his information and help people get well. He signed up for The Primal Health Coach Institute after much research as they were in line with his values. After getting his certificate, he realised he wanted to help people through teaching and lecturing.
A friend suggested “Why don’t you write a book?“ He thought this would be perfect. He could get his message out there for people who wanted to listen. Over the past four years, he has been researching and working on this book and it has finally come to fruition. This “model” that he created and developed is a decade of research and reviewing hundreds of articles as well as talking and learning from experts in their respective fields.

Jonathan Marion grew up in a dysfunctional home, surrounded by emotional and physical abuse, and never fully feeling like he belonged anywhere. He grew up around conflicting views around religion and physical and mental health struggles, including suicide. Attending a private religious day school (while a privilege compared to the lives of many) did not provide comfort for the sensitive, insecure little boy, with a broken heart. Educational/ academic accomplishments were highly stressed in his culture, and especially in private school, everyone had to fit the mold. There was no personal assessment plan: there was “the way,” and if you didn’t fit it, you didn’t stay. And he didn’t fit.
He kept going through the motions for decades, finishing his MA, finishing his PhD, publishing his first academic book, being elected to professional boards, starting to teach university classes, being named outstanding lecturer at his university, being elected President of a professional association, getting hired into a tenure track position, writing his second book, winning more teaching commendations, being elected President of a second professional association, publishing his third book, getting tenure, publishing my fourth book, etc.
He realized none of his measurable, externally-facing accomplishments mattered. That the most meaningful relationships in his life were with people who didn’t care how good he was at “jumping through hoops.” He now lives how he wants to be, aware of considerations, but not allowing them to drive his choices. He is able to identify what really matters, knowing that everything that happens is just part of a story. He jumps through far fewer hoops, and when he does, he doesn’t attach a sense of identity or self-worth to them. Jonathan is now loving the steps along the way. If you are ready to live your best life, and are looking for some simple things you can do to help you on this journey, then this is a the podcast for you. Enjoy this fabulous conversation...

I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for almost 25 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.
His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.
Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts in this conversation. Some simple tips to eat well, exercise more effectively, and create a mindset that will lead to an abundant &meaning life of joy, purpose and longevity. After doing his N90 program myself, I can definitely attest to is worth. I would encourage everyone to take control of their wellbeing, because every choice we make is leaving an indelible imprint in the hearts of people and on the legacy we are leaving.

Early Challenges and Inner TurmoilSince birth, Marcy Langlois has faced formidable difficulties, undergoing more than twenty surgical procedures to address her cleft lip and palate. This physical struggle only compounded the emotional burdens she endured. Marcy was subjected to relentless teasing and bullying during her childhood, as her appearance and speech differed from her peers.
Navigating Identity and Overcoming Self-DoubtAs Marcy progressed through Catholic grade school, she confronted another layer of self-discovery: her attraction to girls rather than boys. Confusion and shame about her sexuality reinforced her already entrenched beliefs of being worthless and unlovable. The struggle between external and internal insecurities intensified, compelling Marcy to become a perfectionist in an attempt to deflect attention from her perceived flaws.
The Destructive Path of AddictionIn her quest to silence the nagging voice in her mind, Marcy turned to alcohol during her middle school years. While it temporarily numbed her pain, it accelerated a downward spiral. The tragic car accident she was involved in during high school claimed the lives of three individuals, fueling her guilt and deepening her reliance on alcohol as an escape. Thus began a decade-long struggle with alcoholism that resulted in the loss of employment, devastated relationships, and a battle with chronic illness that nearly cost Marcy her life.
Breaking Free and Embracing TransformationRock bottom was the turning point for Marcy at the age of 27. Utilizing resources provided by a Twelve-Step Program, she embarked on a miraculous journey of recovery. Embracing sobriety, Marcy engaged in extensive therapy, personal reflection, and spiritual exploration to heal her wounds and discover her true self.
Finding Love, Fulfillment, and PurposeToday, Marcy lives a life filled with self-love and contentment. She and her wife have cultivated a beautiful, lasting relationship for over twenty years. Professionally, Marcy achieved remarkable success as a Mortgage Banker and Vice President in the banking industry and now works at a top mortgage banking business. However, her greatest passion lies in sharing her transformative story with others, providing them with hope and healing in their own struggles.
A Message of Resilience and EmpowermentMarcy Langlois exemplifies the power of resilience in the face of daunting challenges. Her journey serves as an inspiring testament to the possibilities of personal growth and triumph over adversity. Marcy’s story resonates with individuals navigating their journeys, reminding them that healing, self-discovery, and the redefinition of their narratives are always within reach.

Ed Doherty, a Massachusetts native who has lived and worked all over the United States in his roles as a restaurant executive, leadership development expert, and volunteer, has completed his new book “Observations at the Speed of Life”: a compelling memoir comprised of short stories from throughout the author’s life, documenting his struggles, triumphs, and various life lessons learned along the way as he managed to find his place in the world with friends and family by his side.
Best known for developing talented individuals into top performers, author Ed Doherty’s varied experience includes roles as vice president for a national company’s $58-million region based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, years as the chief human resource officer of an eleven-thousand-employee company based in Memphis, and serving as president of a $22-million franchised restaurant group in Cincinnati. His volunteer experience spans decades with the March of Dimes, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, his community, and his church.
Today, Ed heads up Ambrose Landen LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in strategic planning, leadership development, and employee engagement in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. “Observations at the Speed of Life” is a collection of stories that have been shared with others throughout a career of mentoring and motivating friends, family, and coworkers. Sometimes humorous, sometimes inspirational, and occasionally packed with wisdom. They are all about aspiring to be the best version of yourself. Some of the essays are very personal, and some are philosophical, but regardless, each one packs a message about hope and the value of persistence. This book is a result of more than forty years of preparing and writing weekly messages to the teams Ed managed. Those messages consisted of his workplace observations about performance, motivation, management, leadership, and integrity. They were timely lessons that could be applied immediately.
In this conversation, Ed shares many of his observations and powerful stories. None more powerful than the message he shared when I asked how he had stayed married for 50 years. He told me he made a decision early that his marriage would be a feedback free zone and that he would choose being happy over being right. This is a wonderful conversation I know you will enjoy.

Ian Westmoreland spent 42 years working in the Australian and New Zealand telecommunications and energy industries mainly as an IT project manager. On 10 September 2013 he experienced a life changing moment so profound, it would lead him to give up paid work in May 2014 and commence a full-time volunteer career.
It was during his work as a volunteer for not-for-profit youth programs such as the Raise Foundation, Kidshope and COACH, Ian noticed a gap for comparable services for mature adults. However, it wasn’t until his own moment of challenge that he realised just how urgently these services were needed, especially for men, a demographic that has historically struggled with vulnerability and asking for support.
In response he developed the Mentoring Men program in June 2018 and it was officially launched as a registered charity by Julian Leeser, Federal Member for Berowra in November 2018. In just 3 years, Mentoring Men grew to become an Australia-wide, free mentoring service to support men.
With the Mentoring Men organisation now independently up and running, in December 2022 Ian launched another “passion project” called Kintsugi Heroes. Complementing his previous volunteer work, Kintsugi Heroes aims to show how those major moments of challenge we face can change the course of our life, making it even more beautiful and fulfilling than ever before.
Kintsugi Heroes is a weekly podcast of inspirational interviews with people who have discovered beauty, despite the incredible adversities they have faced. It’s a no-holds-barred approach that does not sugar-coat the difficult road to a life of fulfilment and hope.
Ian’s story has been covered on national TV, referred to in both Federal and NSW Parliaments, and included in the best selling Moments in Time book as well as numerous podcasts, newspapers and radio shows.
Ian is using his own strengths to help others do the same, and so impacting is his work that he was awarded and OAM in 2024. This is a powerful conversation, not to be missed.

Lisa Sugarman is a Boston-based author, a columnist, a crisis counselor with The Trevor Project, a storyteller with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), a multiple survivor of suicide loss, and a mental health advocate. Her personal mission is to help end the stigma surrounding suicide and mental illness by normalizing conversations about mental health, suicide, loss, and grief. And by encouraging everyone to share their story. Because when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable by talking openly about our losses and fears and challenges, our walls come down and we begin to trust each other. And that’s where the real healing happens.
She lost her dad to suicide in the summer of 1978, two weeks after her 10th birthday, but didn’t discover he’d taken his own life until she was 45 years old. So, she actually lost her father twice in her lifetime—once to what she was told was a heart attack and again, 35 years later, when she learned that he’d died by suicide. Two very different types of losses and two radically different types of grief that she needed to learn to process. And she had to come to terms with the fact that her beautiful father was mentally ill and suffering in silence. Sadly, her dad was struggling at a time when mental illness was considered shameful and taboo, so couldn't be saved. But others can. And that’s why she is here.
What she has learned over the last decade of re-grieving and re-processing her dad's death is that losing someone we love to suicide is a unique and isolating kind of loss because:
- it can often be sudden and unexpected
- we don't always know the person’s “why” and that can be distressing
- the stigma surrounding death by suicide can create feelings of shame
- many survivors wonder if they could’ve prevented their loved one’s death
- finding someone or imagining what happened to your person can be extremely traumatic
That’s why survivors of suicide loss and those suffering with mental illness need help and support and community. And this is the reason why she has turned her pain into purpose by working as a mental health advocate and as a crisis counselor with The Trevor Project, the country’s largest suicide and crisis support network for at-risk LGBTQ+ youth. Now, her purpose is to share content and spark conversations to help end the stigma of suicide and connect people with the support and hope they deserve. One conversation at a time. Enjoy this powerful conversation.

Being medically discharged from the Army in 2017 after 31 years’ service was the lowest point of John Giampino's life. After a traumatic experience, and suffering from being treated very poorly by the very people who should have supported him, he spiralled. John had spent most of his life alongside like-minded soldiers only to find himself on the other side of the fence was the day he lost his self-worth. It was a daily struggle just to keep himself in a happy place. In fact, it led him to an unsuccessful attempt to take his own life.
One day he decided to get on with his life and find something that would give him the same form of joy the Army did. He has always loved to fix things, so he sat for his carpenters ticket and started working for himself but his company just didn’t function the way I wanted it too. He founded I Can Fix That (www.icanfixthat.com.au), however it wasn’t until he did the program with IGY6 that he was able to make it a professional business that employs other Veterans.
Via PTSD, he developed anxiety and depression and explored assistance with the NDIS. He was referred to a Life Coach who changed his life more than he could imagine it was possible. He is very grateful about what happened to him and is proof that the IGY6 program based on Neuroscience, works. He is a different person, lost 37 kilos and changed his mindset. John is very proud to have become the Ambassador for IGY6 and helping people is what he loves doing. IGY6 has already helped many other people on the NDIS as well as Veterans and he hopes that they can help many more.
Through his own treatment in the army, he is committed to treating people right and helping them in any way he can. John is making a powerful difference in the life of Veterans and Civilians alike. Enjoy this powerful conversation.

Kate Watson and Sheree Elliott are passionate about helping, supporting, serving, encouraging, empowering, and providing a friendly and welcoming space for many homeless and marginalised people in Melbourne, through the charity Pentecost Care. The most recent statistics suggest that more than 120,000 Australians will not have a home to go to tonight, and that number is growing. We can all do something to help, and that is what this conversation is about.
Kate is the director of the charity. Sheree a passionate volunteer because she knows what it is like to be on the streets, not knowing where she would sleep or where her next meal was coming from, for 12 months as a teenager. For most of us, as we go to our comfortable homes, enjoy eating regular meals, and then sleeping in a warm and comfortable bed, we are not even aware of the many people who do not have those simple luxuries that we take for granted.
Both Kate and Sheree are very clear on the message that these people need a hand up more than they need a handout. Every one of us can do something to help lift these people and help them in life. Just giving attention, a smile, or an encouraging word can do so much. As Sheree and Kate talk about their own very different experiences, I hope you will be inspired to help.
To find out more about Pentecost Care, watch this short video.
If you are in Melbourne and can attend an event call Being Well, Staying Well on Tuesday June 25, we would love to see you. All proceeds will go to Pentecost Care, click here to book.

Dana Skaggs has a master’s degree in clinical psychology and is a licensed psychotherapist. She has been in private practice for 16 years specializing in anxiety and adjustment issues along with trauma work. She is a 6-yr board member for the Intermountain Psychological Association and a frequent guest on WJHL Daytime Tri-Cities discussing how to navigate the emotional terrain of everyday problems. She contributed to the article “Second Opinions: How You Can Leverage Mindset to Change Behaviour” in the Journal “A Plus” from the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
She experienced a toxic relationship with my mother involving the navigation of her significant mental illness, manipulative behavior, and narcissistic patterns. And during her 15 years of practicing psychotherapy, she began noticing how often boundary dysfunction was the root cause of many issues. Setting and defending healthy boundaries saved her life.
After having her third child in 2001, she decided to become a stay-at-home mom and was able to do that for over 6 years. When her youngest went to first grade, she started back to work, conducting disability evaluations. She was grateful for that experience, after having been home for years, but discovered my desire was for private practice which she have done for over 15 years. She taught several classes on Boundaries at her church which led to the development of her podcast, Phoenix and Flame.
That’s why she is passionate about providing others the opportunity to do the same. She wants people to know there’s a better life ahead. A new sunrise. You’re just really, really overwhelmed by all these different people in your life that are pulling and tugging at you. She has achieved peace in her life again, and wants to tell you it’s possible for you too. This is a powerful and empowering podcast you will love.

It all started for Jemma O'Hanlon when she was just three years old, whipping up delicious recipes in the kitchen with her Mum. As a little girl, her Mum could never get her out of the kitchen. She had a soft spot for sweets and licking the bowl was always the best part. Her dream was to have her own cooking show. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she was madly scribbling down recipes as she watched celebrity chefs whip up a storm on the TV. Afterwards, she would bound into the kitchen, excited to cook and find a way to add a healthy twist to the dish.
It was on Channel 10’s My Market Kitchen that her dream first came true, taking the program’s audience on a journey from farm to fork. Fast forward to today, where cooking remains a huge part of her life. It’s how she shares special moments with loved ones and nothing brings her more joy than inspiring others to find health & happiness through food.
With almost two decades of experience across the public health, food production, food manufacturing and foodservice sectors, Jemma works with businesses to drive growth through health. For over a decade, she has worked in the media to bust nutrition myths and comment on topical nutrition matters, from the latest fad diet, to research breakthroughs and the big issues affecting the health of Australians. Her call out to all people, is to opt in to health at a time when it is increasingly more difficult to do so.
We get feisty and passionate in this conversation as we discuss the devastating effect of the AFL's choice to use McDonalds as a sponsor and then use athletes to advertise products that can only cause harm to young Australians. In this podcast we are appealing to people to not just opt into optimal health, but to also speak out against the myriad of advertising and sponsorship that devastating lives all over the world. This is a conversation for every single person to hear.

As an accomplished, driven, passionate, engaging, and energetic pioneer woman, Dr Cindy Starke encourages audiences to reprogram their subconscious minds to challenge their preconceived notions of what they are capable of, and unleash and discover the champion that has always been inside of them.
She grew up in a blue collar home where poverty, sexual abuse, drugs, and alcoholism ran deep through both sides of her family. She knew by age 14 she had to do something different with her life. She was determined to make something of herself and excel. And She did. She obtained a bachelor's degree, then an MD, then a PhD, the first person in her family to achieve such a high level of education.
She became a Doctor, doctor more for the feeling of self-worth she believed it would give her than anything else. She went through life trying to prove to herself that she was worthy - worthy of protection, worthy of respect, worthy of love. It took her many years to understand that what happened in her family was not her fault, and never had been hers to "fix". It wasn’t because something was wrong with her or that she was bad or wrong in any way.
That journey of forgiveness helped her see that there are so many other women over the age of 50 that are struggling with their own past, with their own inner demons, with their own “I’m not enough” or “I’m not good enough” variation of imposter syndrome. This is what has made her someone who is able to help these women overcome this legacy of tragedy, and turn it into a future of triumph. This is a powerful conversation not to be missed

Ann Swanson teaches meditation to busy people with busy minds. She is the author of the bestselling book Science of Yoga, which has been translated into over 15 languages. Her new book, Meditation for the Real World, illuminates the fascinating science behind meditation with step-by-step practices to find peace in everyday life.
However, Ann wasn’t a naturally “chill person,” and meditation didn’t come easy to her. Overcoming chronic pain and anxiety led her to India to study yoga, to China to explore tai chi, and, ultimately, to earn a Master of Science in Yoga Therapy. She says:
I dealt with anxiety so extreme I’d pass out, chronic pain since my teens, and debilitating perfectionism. Listen, if I can meditate, anyone can. Now, I help busy people with busy minds meditate using science-backed practices that work. My first book, SCIENCE OF YOGA, has sold over half a million copies, and my second book was just released. I collaborated with a Harvard meditation researcher and a New York Times illustrator to write Meditation for the Real World. I'm excited to teach your audience how to cross meditation off their to-do list and, instead, integrate realistic practices into their lives! You don't have to sit in silence on the floor for 20 minutes a day; even one-minute meditations can make a surprising and immediate difference!
Now, Ann blends cutting-edge research with ancient wisdom, resulting in realistic techniques you’ll find yourself integrating into your day! Order her new book at MeditationForTheRealWorld.com for exclusive bonuses available to our listeners. This is a wonderful conversation, not to be missed

In Jerry Scarlato's own words:
One thing I’ve struggled with on and off throughout my life is self-confidence. Which is ironic considering, from the outside looking in, I had a lot of the boxes checked to have enough confidence for anything.
I grew up in an upper-middle-class family. I had good supporting parents. I was born with a ton of natural physical ability to help me excel in sports. I had enough brains in my head to get through school without much effort. And yet, my confidence was always a soft spot that kept me from pursuing and reaching my true potential.
Of course, at the time I wouldn’t have pinpointed self-confidence as the problem. At the time I would have pointed to everything and everyone else around me. Either a Coach didn’t give me a fair chance. Or an injury kept me from getting better. Or my dad wouldn’t let me make my own decisions. Whatever excuse I could find to justify my shortcomings, I would use it.
And it wasn’t until my early 30's that those beliefs and justifications really started to feel like bullshit. At that time, I had owned a fitness studio for about 4 years and had been married for the same amount of time. The fitness studio was growing enough for it to feel successful. And the marriage was comfortable enough to make it feel…well…comfortable. But things just didn’t feel right. I had run out of excuses as to why things weren’t continuing to improve and doing the hard work of introspection to see if something inside of me was holding me hostage.
By the age of 39, which is where I am now, I had put enough pieces together and done enough internal reflection to realize that the life I was living was not my life at all. The reason, or at least a big reason, why I struggled with confidence when I was young and through to my mid-30s is because I wasn’t aligned with the person that I truly am, which wasn’t allowing me to pursue higher and higher levels of potential.
In other words, I was trying so damn hard to make other people happy that I wasn’t being my true self. And because I wasn’t being my true self, I wasn’t able to level up my life in the way that I knew that I was capable. That year, 2023, I got divorced and left the fitness studio business, both of which had been part of my life for 10 years. The marriage was fine, but not flourishing because our values didn’t align and I was trying too hard to override mine to fit with hers. The business was good, but not empowering because it was in a poor geographical area and I had to be a different person to attract the right demographic. I had figured out that I was not giving my true self to the world and it was time to wipe the slate clean and start from the very beginning.
Jerry and I discuss real stuff to help people fill their confidence gap and live the life destined for them. This is a wonderful conversation, not to be missed.

I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for almost 25 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.
His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.
Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts. There is lots of catching up, banter, but some crucial conversation about the role of protein in the body, how to avoid sarcopenia, and how to eat to create optimal wellbeing. What you will learn will transform your eating habits and your life, if you take them on board and take action. He is a knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining man who I loved talking to. I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.

Carlo Taormina grew up with the intention of "Being Somebody" in this world. Ever since he was a kid he told himself he wanted to help people and be successful. It wasn't until later in life did he realize the need for significance was a huge driving factor for him. He subconsciously felt as if he "wasn't enough". He told himself that if he could; get the six pack, build a successful business, make a bunch of money, then that impossible feat would mean he could accomplish anything in life.
It's December 2020, right before Christmas and his birthday where he had what he describes as "Hell Week". Everything that could go wrong did go wrong and his whole life spiraled out of control.
- He got fired from his Gym Management Position
- He Injured his back (Herniated Disc L5S1) and couldn't walk
- His Online Personal Training Business was failing and losing money
- His girlfriend at the time called him randomly to break up with him
With being hit from every direction all at once he didn't know what to do, or how to react. He took a step back and looked at the big picture of his life and asked "What just happened?" "What did I do to deserve this?" After his "Hell Week" and for the majority of the year of 2021, he became clinically depressed, suicidal, hopeless, and without a purpose.
After help from his brother, a random trip to Florida, he found hope, got inspired and started on a journey to help others deal with self-doubt, adversity and to deeply believe that things happen for them, not to them. Carlo has achieved the “near impossible” as he puts it when he describes overcoming clinical depression and suicidal ideation. Carlo has always been one to help people with his background in Personal Training, Life Coaching and as a Keynote Speaker. This is a wonderful conversation not to be missed

It has been her experience throughout her 26 years in the industry and also her own personal experiences, no matter what circumstances have created trauma, anxiety or dis-ease, with the right tools in your toolkit for life, you can thrive rather than survive.
Madonna is living proof of her methods working, having been told at the age of 30 she would never walk again after the doctors who administered a spinal block during the delivery of her daughter made a mistake that resulted in her being incapacitated, experiencing chronic pain, fatigue and consequently being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, chronic migraines and a heart condition. This did not stop her from reaching her goals and creating the life she deserves. It propelled her into a journey of healing, understanding how the medical model of health, whilst helpful for acute illness, is far behind ancient wisdom and natural medicines, especially when it comes to women’s health. She discovered the true power of mind over matter, applied it to her life and lives a healthy and dynamic life and wants to share that with other’s so they too, can thrive rather than just survive through their lives.
Having a background in behavioural studies, community development and psychology, Madonna researched how to use neuroplasticity and wonder words to bring her back to wellness and it is her life’s mission to help other’s do the same. With her no nonsense, dynamic and inspirational way of imparting information, Madonna will have you focused, energised, bouncing back to health and creating the life you deserve in no time.

Jacob Smith came from an environment that would socially accept him to fall into the category of being a product/victim of his environment. Yet, he was able to define the odds by pulling myself out of a life of trauma, violence, pain, and suffering that almost led him to being dead or in prison. He hit complete rock bottom in my early 20’s before changing the direction of his life to becoming a successful executive business leader. Jacob believes and uses his hardships, trails, and tribulations as his greatest strengths.
Understanding that a life without pain and suffering will never allow a person to be fully introduced to what they are capable of enduring and overcoming without being faced with extreme opposition and adversity to persevere through. His life’s purpose is to reach and inspire men to never allow any circumstance or situation define their life, yet turn all negatives into positives by growing through what they go through. He believes his testimony and unwavering dedication to his renewed life as well as perspective will provide people with hope that if he can make it, so can they.
Jacob now happily married with two beautiful children, and a successful executive and coach, is living proof that, no matter our circumstances, we can change direction at any moment and create a different outcome in our lives. This is a wonderful conversation that will inspire and empower you to believe more in yourself and pursue the life that is available for you. .

Greg Elliott's journey has been fueled by an unyielding passion for unraveling the mysteries of human health and potential. Growing up in a very active and health-conscious family, the importance of being healthy was ingrained at an early age and was further developed by playing for high-performance programs in Canada and the US. He wanted to know how to gain an edge over everyone else, so his nights and weekends were filled with educating himself of how to be bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter than his opponents.
His formal training began at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, where he pursued a Master of Science in Exercise Science on a basketball scholarship. Those formative years weren't just about the sport; they ignited his fascination with the intricate science behind human performance. Through rigorous research and exploration, he unearthed the potential of non-invasive technologies to peer into the heart's complexities, a voyage that introduced me to the captivating realm of Heart Rate Variability (HRV).
The unlikeliest of discoveries greeted him —HRV readings that transcended medical labels. Astonishingly,
individuals of utmost discipline and success mirrored patterns akin to those burdened with chronic ailments. This paradox set him on a profound quest: to redefine the very essence of "Health". In his pursuit, he started to get a deeper understanding of human anatomy & physiology, applying this new skillset to clients. What was once an impassioned endeavor transformed into a beacon for professional growth, opening vistas of possibilities. This is a powerful and paradigm shifting conversation that will change your ideas around optimal wellbeing forever

Kelly Myles and I go back many years and I consider her a wonderful friend. I am very grateful to have been with her on her journey to become an author and watch her courageously transition out of many decades in the hairdressing industry and into a coaching career that she is loving. Kelly is now having a powerful and profound impact on many lives through her coaching business. Not so surprising is how many of her clients are finding challenges when it comes to balancing stress in their lives. So, in this conversation we discuss it.
I think it is fair to say, we all deal with stress on a daily basis. There is a negative connotation to the word stress, as we seem to perceive it as a bad thing, however, stress is required for any growth, achievement or change. The challe occurs when we fixate on the wrong things. When this happens, stress can very quickly turn into a health threatening, relationship compromising, creativity crushing, and life damaging thing. So, there must be balance.
Kelly talks in detail about some very simple things we can all do to improve balance in life and when dealing with stress. We all want to use stress to propel us forward into a happy, successful, joyful and meaningful life, so the ideas Kelly suggests are powerful and critical. This is a wonderful conversation with Kelly that I enjoyed immensely and hope you do also,

When Kate Seselja revealed publically that she’d had a twelve-year struggle with a gambling addiction, that drove her to almost take her life, no one had expected this revelation from the well-spoken, married mum with six children.
The way our society judges and stigmatises people’s struggles is wrong, it only compounds the pain and isolation the person feels. Kate knew she had to be a voice in the darkness talking honestly and vulnerably, her talks help audiences connect not just with her, but back to themselves in a way that builds greater understanding of self and others.
Recently in Canada and the USA visiting the UN, Kate is passionate about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Her recent partnership with United Nations Association of Australia (UNAA) to highlight Goal #3 of Good Health and Wellbeing. “It is the most vitally important SDG through which all others will be able to be achieved.”
The Hope Project is about shifting the culture of coping and existing, to one that is informed of what we need to thrive sustainably. This skill set is a powerful prevention tool of further social decay. This involves engaging educators to spread the message of living a mentally sustainable life. The AWAKE program teaches people how to recognise, understand and overcome their own life challenges, using the same strategies she used herself.
Featured on CNN’s Vital Signs, Kate has helped many people to remember their humanity and reclaim their lives, going from surviving to thriving. She was a finalist in the Australian Institute of Management Awards and the Telstra Women in Business Award in 2016.
Kate is invited to speak in classrooms, universities, workplaces and community groups, no one is immune to struggle and the more we can enable honest conversations about our humanity, the more we can grow and learn from our stories and increase the capacity for compassion and forgiveness. This is a powerful message every person needs to hear.

Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul to speak about love?
His childhood experience was of the opposite of love, borne out of generations of abandonment, abuse and trauma. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside Paul, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief.
Paul wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In his book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. The game he created off the back of the book, The Five Love Languages, by Dr Gary Chapman is literally a game-changer. It helped him, and helping many people around the world find the true role of love.
This is a wonderful and essential conversation, that will inspire you, and transform you into a love language linguist, one roll of the die per day. Please enjoy.

She had a successful career climbing the ladder, working in communications, marketing, customer success, and executive management. She supported Fortune 500 clients and saw several startups through investment and exit.

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Clay Boatright has lived in Texas since 1994, where he and his wife Carole raised three daughters, including identical twins with severe intellectual disabilities and autism. On a crazy Friday night, when his twins were two, Clay allowed faith to step in and help him find his purpose. As a result, with undergrad and graduate degrees from the University of Memphis, Clay managed two full-time careers for almost twenty years, one in the consumer-packaged goods industry to pay the bills and another as a volunteer advocate for people with disabilities.
Over the years, Clay developed a deep understanding of the disability industrial complex and served on a host of health and education advisory committees, including Board President for both The Arc of Dallas and The Arc of Texas. In 2011, President Barack Obama appointed Clay to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities in Washington, DC, and in 2013, he was appointed Founding Chairman for Texas Health & Human Services’ IDD System Redesign Advisory Committee, which he held for six years. Published multiple times in various media, Clay is often contacted by legislators, the media, nonprofit organizations, and parents of children with disabilities to help understand the challenges that families like his live every day.
Then in 2020, just as the couple became empty-nesters, Clay's wife Carole died from ovarian cancer. In his grief, as he wandered through the local supermarket, he had an epiphany that helped him transform his life and launch, as he describes it, Clay 2.0. Following Carole’s death, Clay maintains a close relationship with his daughters and embraces the future with enthusiasm and a desire to help everyone know that God has a plan for their lives. His message is simple, We will all have experiences and challenges in life, that is certain, but baggage and drama is optional. Happiness is a choice.
This is a wonderful conversation, that will inspire you, challenge you, and entertain you. Please enjoy.

From a young age, Naomi Pendergast showed a passion for movement and athletic pursuits. The first half of her life was dedicated to dancing, seeing her work professionally in Europe for 6 years. She has owned and run training studios, worked as a personal trainer, Pilates instructor, and movement coach for nearly 20 years. Being an avid athlete that has a keen interest in triathlon, she understands the demands of the sport and how tough it can be to fit in the training required to be race-ready while working 9-5 and dealing with life’s commitments. From this, RPX Fitness Online was born.
In recent years Naomi has had the opportunity to work with a number of movie stars helping them gain physical fitness, strength, and agility for their role.
Naomi is passionate about teaching people to change how they move to create a strong and resilient physique and a life of healthy movement.
SHE BELIEVES GOOD MOVEMENT IS ESSENTIAL
Good movement is essential for maintaining a healthy and balanced muscular structure in the body. Very commonly healthy, fit people end up with unwanted injuries that could have been prevented through understanding how their body moves, how it should move, and how to move it safely. Most people seek out a trainer for a strength program, or for weight loss. At RPX her first and foremost goal is injury reduction and prevention by teaching people how to train themselves correctly. This is done by passing on over two decades of movement technique and specific training cues to each person so they can learn how to identify poor movement in their body, train themself correctly by knowing which exercises are right for their body, and improve daily movement and performance for a long life of good movement.
This is a wonderful conversation, and a simple and powerful concept, with a very inspiring lady. Please enjoy your planking!

I was privileged to meet Bill Williamson in September 2019. At the time he was the senior pastor at a church in the beautiful town of Yakima, Washington, USA. Myself and Dr Allan Meyer were speaking at his church to a group of men. At that time Bill didn't know of my struggles, and I didn't know his. However, we were both 'straining at the oars' in life. As I was finishing my talk I asked, 'if there is anyone who has it in their heart to write a book, let me know. Bill put up his hand and said, me!
Soon after, Bill started writing his book Straining at the Oars, and soon after that his world started to unravel. God was giving him content to make sure his book would be one that could truly help people, because it was written with real life experiences in heart and mind. His marriage ended, COVID saw his job as a pastor terminate, and very soon he found himself battling depression, as he bounced from state to state, home to home, and job to job. He was truly 'straining at the oars'. He got through his struggles, published his book in 2023 and he says:
This book, although not originally intended to be so, comes from a lot of painful experiences and mistakes I am still learning and recovering from. However, this book also comes from the many blessings I continue to receive as I encounter Christ in my personal “storms of life” I pray that this book will be a blessing to you or someone you know who is straining at the oars. I have three wonderful adult daughters, two amazing sons-in-law, and four beautiful grandchildren. Unfortunately, as I wrote this book, I saw my marriage of 38 years come to an end. I have been a Christian for most of my life. That doesn’t mean my life has been easy. I have been an ordained pastor for most of my adult life. That certainly didn’t make life any easier for me either.
This is a wonderful conversation, with a courageous and inspiring man. It is one I know will fill you will hope and encouragement and give you strategies to help you lay down your oars and let the wind fill your sails. Enjoy

Ilea Worsfold is now an exercise scientist, researcher, author and content creation specialist. She has experience in representing the interests of organisations that operate across the health, fitness, wellness and technology fields. She loves delivering research driven, innovative, unique and engaging advice to her brands that inspires their customers on their wellness journey.
It has been an interesting journey for her to get to this place in her life, to loving her career, helping many people, married to a the man of her dreams, and with two beautiful children. It is a dream life, and she got there by following her intuition and taking one leap of faith after another. This does not mean it was easy, but it does give evidence to the power of trusting the gut feelings we all have, but often ignore.
When asked, as a child, what she wanted to do when she grew up, Ilea said, 'I want to be a lawyer so I can buy a BMW'. She never became a lawyer, nor did she buy a BMW (yet). Instead she followed her gut and her first leap of faith led her to working in fraud investigation. After a while, she realised this was not her path and so started her own business doing what she is doing now. On the way, with many spontaneous actions, she has found herself exactly where she needs and wants to be in life. This is a conversation I believe every person needs to hear, and after listening I want to encourage you to take a leap of faith.

Ryan Peebles was ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. He had done everything to take care of his back, and yet he was broken. His back problems cast a shadow over his life for a decade. That time was painful, but it was also a journey of growth, where he developed an ever-evolving, deepening understanding of the body, which he will shares in this podcast.
It all started when lower back pain side-lined Ryan from playing basketball as a junior in high school. He couldn’t lift weights anymore. And he couldn’t pursue his passion of surfing because he felt nerve damage every time he went. He had one chiropractor tell him, after looking at his x-ray, that he would be in a wheelchair by the time he was 30. That severely affected his psyche, so his mind, emotions and back was really messed up after that, and I felt hopeless.
One day in 2010, he was curled up on my bedroom floor dwelling on his pain. It was his usual spot, but this time was different. Not only did he have his normal lower back pain, but both my knees hurt too. He also had neck pain, and could feel that his jaw was jutting forward, and his bite was even messed up! In that moment he knew… he would either have to accept his wheelchair-bound fate, or take responsibility in his own hands and become his own healer. So when he was 24 years old, he committed his life to healing his back.
In the following years he became obsessed with research, consuming countless books and articles online. Eventually, he identified muscle imbalances as the cause of his back problem. This whole body concept resonated with him. It connected the dots and gave him an explanation for many of his body problems. It was a way to look at chronic injuries from a full body perspective. By continually adapting his personal routine as he learned, he found a process that gets to the "core" of the problem. Piece-by-piece, and day-by-day he created this unique program that teaches people how to retrain their body for healthy movement, and get out of pain for good.

Once upon a time Eva Sifis was a dancer working across Australia and performing in cabaret shows in Japan. When she sustained a serious Acquired Brain Injury in 1999 due to being hit by a car, that life ended. After a prolonged coma, a new one began. She refers to this time as her second childhood. The second one lasted just as long! She had to learn everything over again – walking, talking, relating and, most importantly, dealing with a new Eva. However, at the time she didn't realise she was actually poised for potential and purpose.
She applied herself to recovery: physically, mentally and spiritually with great dedication. Through this very difficult period, she have realised a capability to overcome – to call on her resilience and strengths. Her physical needs were attended to very effectively within the system however she experienced a gap when it came to rejoining society. In order to actively integrate herself with the ‘outside world’, she both volunteered and worked widely within the national disability arts and advocacy arena. Through this her sense of self was bolstered and, while doing so, her direction has been laid before her.
Advanced Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2009 was a huge challenge but she took the chance to re-evaluate her situation. She is now on the verge of her first book, and she is totally on purpose to live a life of joy and significance helping people all around the world. This is an incredible conversation with a wonderful lady.

For most of early life, Andrea Nicholson followed mainstream health advice, blindly trusting what she was told. She's tried all of the standard diets and advice, only to find herself continually getting sicker. From carb-addict and vegetarian, to low fat and low calorie, and from extreme workout to another, she did some serious damage to my body. But how could eating all those vegetables be bad? Because they're all carbs! She was seriously nutrient deficient, lacking in quality proteins and healthy fats, and left with high inflammation, a bloated and irritated gut, and flat-lined energy.
Even though those vegetables were filled with nutrients and fibre, she wasn't absorbing any of those nutrients and even with the fibre, she had decimated my gut microbes. Functional testing showed she had very little microbial activity and even less diversity. Clearly this was NOT the path for her. Ultimately, she took her health into her own hands, did her own research, ordered functional tests, and used technologies to uncover her personal imbalances.
She started doing the opposite of most of the common advice to restore her body - more quality proteins from animal sources, more healthy fats including saturated fats, far less carbohydrates (even fruits and vegetable sources), and eating far less often. Now, she is healthier and more vibrant than she has ever been and has maintained the results for years. No more bloating, constipation, migraines, stiff muscles, or fatigue. Effortless weight loss and it's been easy to maintain.
Now Andrea uses everything she has learned from her own journey and education to help others, and she is passionate about making a difference in many lives. This is a wonderfully practical and empowering conversation that I hope moves you into positive action.

Jemma trained as a classical flute player, but she realised, soon after a classmate hit her on the head with a flute, that it wasn't her jam.

Bill Heinrich found success at a very young age. He was living in one of the most beautiful places on earth and from the outside everything looked perfect, but something was always missing. Surrounded by material success, with everything in place by normal standards, he found myself dissatisfied and nothing seemed to fill the emptiness inside. No matter how much money he made or how successful he was he never felt whole. Painfully aware that something was lacking, Bill continued to try to fill the empty space he felt inside. Over the course of time, this feeling got worse, never better, no matter what he did.
It was almost 30 years ago that he was so miserable he walked out the door to change his life and never looked back. Since that time he has experienced many ups and downs along his path of personal growth. At each stage, he's gained new perspectives, and those new perspectives in turn created more opportunities for growth, and more realizations which have allowed him to see and understand the world with more insight and wisdom.
For Bill, personal transformation is at the core of his essence, it is who he is. He has walked in your shoes and knows that, whilst experiences might not have been exactly the same and perhaps he has not had the same authoritative people or groups, or geographic influences in his life, but he knows we are all more alike than you can imagine.
If you’re looking for a way to make lasting changes in your life – changes that are always going to be for the better - then this is podcast to listen to. There are many great moments including the belief that self-love is not selfish. Enjoy this remarkable conversation.

Martin Henry said: It was on my second 10-day residential healthy eating and living retreat that this principle finally sunk in, that the body was made to win, to thrive, to heal. Give it the right nutrition, the right training and conditions and it will do all it can to bring itself back to health. Of course there are many occasions when more than this is needed, I am all for Doctors and the medical world, but much of what we encounter our body is designed to overcome, and so it was with me.
His own body, and those of his wife and three children, are all affected by the same chronic and incredibly debilitating condition that many would consider a barrier to living a joyful life. But, not the Henry family. No matter what they are experiencing they have dedicated themselves to finding joy and gratitude every day, but also moving forward no matter hard it may seem. It has been this trudging to triumph which saw Martin become incredible successful in business, and then help navigate his family though the day to day challenges of chronic issues.
Martin is now a personal trainer, helping many, soon-to-be an author, and is changing lives every single day. This is one of the most inspiring conversations, with one of the most humble people I have ever had. There is so much richness in everything Martin discusses, and I know this conversation will impact many lives, starting with your own.

Imagine a world where people thought of themselves as whole and beautiful. A world where people knew how to heal themselves through daily self-care. That’s a world Cameron Tukapua wants to live in. Discovering Chinese medicine at aged 21 showed her a true view of reality. A world of energy where everything is connected and in right relationship to everything else. What Cameron loves about her life is facilitating connection to our original nature and a search for wholeness. Acupuncture rebalances the energies of the mind-body. It enlivens the innate healing power that lives inside all of us.
Along with shifting the energy, she supports people to know and be themselves. Cosmology, ‘how to see our place in the universe’ is one of eight limbs of Chinese medicine. When we see the truth of life as energy, we tap into a source of power which is immeasurable and unlimited. When we listen to our own Hearts we live guided by our true Sovereign Ruler and the power of LOVE.
Across 4 decades of healing practice Cameron valued sharing ancient wisdom teachings that empower us to show up as co-creators of our beautiful world. In the last two decades, she has created healing pathways which support people to listen to their own knowing as their ultimate guide in life. She has learned all she teaches after seeing the light during her own unsettling beginning to life.
Currently Cameron sees a lot of lost, confused people trying to navigate the ‘non-sense’ of a weird world. At the same time she sees people everywhere waking up to the importance of taking charge of their lives. She believes grassroots change, from bottom up, is the essential healing remedy for our current health care crisis. Our health is up to us. It’s a choice. No-one else rules our mind. This conversation with Cameron is an essential one for every human being.

Kathy White's own yoga journey began when she was 25 years old, many years ago. She hated aerobics (which was all the rage in the 80's) as it just made her face red, her blood pound and she felt awful afterwards! She wanted to try something else. She was a keen cyclist and swimmer and yoga fitted her personality. When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died. Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children.
However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees. Then she discovered Kaiut. An amazing practice from Brazil. She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM). So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.
Kathy offers a 21-day challenge for anyone wanting to start and introduce simple daily yoga practice into their lives. I then threw a spanner in the works by talking about creating an unconscious routine of daily yoga, which will actually take at least 63 days. So, this conversation is devoted to helping people, who want to receive the ongoing benefits of yoga, to get through three 21 day cycles and change their lives for the better forever. All you really need to do is just Win the Day! This is a message that is vital, and can be applied to every area of life.

He explains that it can be emotionally exhausting, and when he reaches those moments, he sets boundaries for my mental wellness.

Michael Harris is an author, coach, trainer, yoga teacher, entrepreneur and co-founder of Endless Stages. One of his specialties is helping anyone move from fear of speaking in front of others to powerfully sharing their message with any size group or audience. For years he struggled with health issues, addictions and low self-esteem. Then one day he decided he'd had enough and became willing to make a change. It wasn’t easy. He had to stop dreaming about what he wanted - and begin to take massive action by applying the Law of GOYA. Everything changed through sobriety, walking, food and yoga. Many of his friends and colleagues urged him to use his metamorphosis to inspire others.
At one point, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) reminded him that “your mess is your message.” Jack went on to join Michael's book launch for His #1 bestselling book, "Falling Down Getting UP”. He has owned (or partnered) in several successful yoga studios - and in his prior business coached other studio owners around the world on attracting and enrolling new students - while increasing revenue and profits (over $40 million in sales). He's helped certify about 7,000 yoga teachers and as a teacher, my primary focus in class, is to help the students calm the mind and increase awareness.
Whilst Michael will always teach yoga, his main focus today is to help others break free from the constraints that are holding them back, through the law of GOYA, and then, use podcasting, books, and speaking to get their message to the world. He believes everyone has a story that will impact lives. This conversation and this story is one that will impact your life, so strap yourself in and enjoy.

Michaell Magrutsche’s talent is recognizing awareness to seed a new consciousness that allows us to unveil the untapped superpowers of human’s limitlessness, art/creativity, healthy discourse and adaptability to make all humans fit within our human tapestry.
Because Michaell has been a sick child and because of his dyslexia and dysgraphia (hand eye coordination) he could only navigate in very few systems. Michaell was forced to find his salvation in art. Interacting and creating art outside of systems helped him feel human and got him through life. Michaell is completely self-taught. Art allowed him to experience life with other humans and 5 books later, Michaell produced with Robert Evans and became a City Arts Commissioner.
Michaell discovered that creating art is humans greatest inherent superpower, followed by healthy dialogue and our adaptability. These superpowers are applicable to everything from Creativity, Leadership, Business, Education, Relationships and what else humans focus on.
Today, Michaell keeps unveiling the limitations of all man-made systems like technology, science, economy and generalized knowledge to change systems to be more human adaptable instead of humans keep forcing themself to be system adaptive. This work raises our human potential instead of making us blinder and ignore our human worth for system values. Michaell believes we are wasting too much life force and energy on system navigation to achieve limited system value. This is a very powerful conversation that I plan to listen to multiple times. I hope you enjoy it.
Here is a short teaser by Michaell, click here.

Filipa and Chris Bellette are having a profound and positive impact on lives all around the world. But, it wasn't always like that...
Filipa found her body is breaking down, as she was trying to juggle the demands of motherhood & building a business. It was crushing and debilitating and she was searching for answers, for solutions - for YEARS. She tried this way of eating. She tried that supplement. She tried this doctor. That practitioner. Some things helped reduce symptoms. Yet she still wasn’t getting to the root cause of her health issues. This led Filly to be treated by one of the world’s best in Functional Medicine, Dr Daniel Kalish, who, at the same time, mentored her in the practice of Functional Medicine. He gave her a PLAN to uncover ALL the root causes of her health issues, so that she could finally get on top of her health and become the mum, the wife, the healer & business owner that she wanted to be.
Chris had always been blessed with health of body and mind. For many years, however, he devalued his blessings and abused his body, mind and spirit. He was so obsessed with elite level sport and being ‘the best’ - first, national-level basketball, then national-level Strongman - that he broke his body down with multiple injuries, burnt-out adrenals, and was left living on energy drinks to get through work, and conking out on the couch when he was at home. This left little time for his kids and his wife. He was also burning the candle at both ends, trying to build a fitness business.
He had lost his way. Although he was a physically 'big' man, he felt weak and broken inside. His family life & business suffered because of it. It was through his own 2-year mentorship with world-renowned Holistic Health Coach, Mark Buckley, that he discovered the power of Mindset Coaching - which literally saved his life in more ways then one. Through intensive psychological re-shifting work, and healing of his own body systems (with the help of his wife!), he found his way back.
Together Chris & Filly are a powerful force as they combine their personal experiences and overcoming, with what they have studied and learned on the journey. Filly a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, and Chris an NLP practitioner and life coach have combined to create Chris and Filly's Functional Medicine. Together that are changing lives, and I know this conversation will inspire you to end body burnout.

When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died. Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children.
As an older mum, age 40+ with two young kids, yoga helped Kathy keep up with them, play on the floor, climb the trees (which she still loves to do today). However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees. Then she discovered Kaiut. An amazing practice from Brazil. She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM). So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.
Kathy wants to leave a legacy of people living freely in their bodies, and to help people understand that their mindset is often the place that is stuck. She wants to help people be open to learn new movements and new ways to approach restrictions, tightness, stiffness and pain in the body with mindfulness and kindness. She would love everyone to know that a sustainable yoga practice starts today, but lasts for life. She wants to help people put on their pants when they are 100.
Kathy is from the UK, she lived in the spiritual community of Findhorn in NE Scotland for over 23 years and in 2018 moved to Vancouver Island, where she achieved a long time dream and opened a yoga studio in the basement of her home. When she speaks about yoga, there is so much she can share, with stories about students (including her 91 year old dad who practices twice a week with her), her own personal journey, and ways in which yoga has truly transformed lives.

Kelly Myles and I go back many years. I am very grateful to have been with her on her journey to become an author and watch her courageously transition out of many decades in the hairdressing industry and into a coaching career that she is loving. Kelly is now having a powerful and profound impact on many lives through her coaching business. It's interesting how many of her clients are finding challenges with their relationships and sex life. So, in this conversation we discuss it.
We all love sex, and we all want great sex, yet for so many people - including myself for many years - sex has been more a source of stress and anxiety than one of joy and pleasure. Whilst there are many short term, quick-fix, and gimmicky suggested solutions out there to help people improve sexual performance, the key seems to have very little to do with sex at all. It's all about communication and connection.
Kelly talks in detail about some very simple things we can all do to improve connection, improve communication and significantly improve intimacy. None of which involves tablets, toys, or toe-touching! This is one of those conversations that is relevant to every person, no matter age, gender, or relationship status. This is a wonderful conversation with Kelly that I enjoyed immensely and hope you do also,

Not long after Matthew Caruana had attempted suicide, severed his spinal cord, was categorised as a para-plegic, and found himself in a wheelchair, something happened within him. It was at that moment, he realised that what he thought was the worst thing to ever happen in his life was now the one thing he was most grateful for. If it wasn’t for everything in his past that led to his attempted suicide, he wouldn’t have been in the position he was, where he is now able to inspire individuals of all ages to see and sense their true worth and potential.
He started to believe he could help people and so began sharing his story. As he did, all thoughts and feelings of Depression, Anxiety and Suicide magically disappeared. The questions about self-worth and self-image were soon replaced with a sense of purpose and a reason to live. He had found his calling and realised he could help others to find theirs. He went on to become an inspiring speaker and advocate to help people find purpose in their lives.
Since my conversation with him in 2021, episode 77, Healing through feeling, even more amazing things have happened in his life. In addition to the impact he is having on lives, he has rediscovered his love for basketball and is achieving amazing things, and he is now in the process of doing something that was considered medically and physically impossible. He is a man on a mission with incredible wisdom for a 23-year-old. He is full to the brim with what is really all that matters, trust and belief. His message is powerful, and it is one one every person needs to hear.

At 23, Matthew Loudon was healthy, fit, had a well-paying job and generally loved life. Although everything seemed perfect from the outside, he had this feeling deep down that he wasn’t being true to himself. At the time, he also didn’t realise that he was about to hit rock bottom and be diagnosed with depression and anxiety, which turned his world upside down. This diagnosis turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Matt was forced to confront his reality, look inwards and work on his inner self in order to truly understand the value of health and well-being.
Since the age of 26, he has been on a journey to continually educate himself and to live a fulfilled, happy life while still looking after his health and well-being on all levels—mentally, physically and spiritually. As his wellness journey progressed, he also discovered that his true purpose lies in helping others. These days, he is still learning and training himself in different ways to be the best husband, father and friend he can be. And, as a health and wellness coach, he's been fortunate enough to support others around the world who are looking to regain control of their health and well-being in order to lead happier, healthier and more purposeful lives.
Whether you’ve hit rock bottom like he did or are simply looking to switch to healthier habits, Matthew is here to support you on your journey to reach your full potential. There are some wonderful insights in this podcast, including a great strategy: to get off the grid. This is a wonderful conversation to help you find the health and happiness that is waiting for you every single day.

It is so good to be back on air with the 'Cheeky Cockney' Chris Freer. If you listened to episode 134, Saved by compassion, with Chris, you will know his story. He had a successful career, lots of money in the bank, and everything that seemed to be what one would desire for happiness. However, he was not happy, and his health was failing. The struggles he was experiencing led him to a decision to end the pain, by way of suicide. However, in a moment, he changed his mind and the direction of his life.
Chris is now a powerful and inspiring coach, counselor, speaker, and soon to be author, who is living a life of joy and having a powerfully positive impact on many lives. So, the question I hear you asking is, what happened in that moment when he went from the helplessness of a suicide attempt to a desire to get help, and then a life dedicated to helping others? The answer is... love.
He started to find the worthiness he had, and began to love himself for who he was, not what he had or did. This is a powerful message that every single person needs to hear, the one most responsible for the outcomes people are experiencing in their lives.

On August 5, 2015 Phil Barth took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. He had suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. He remembers thinking, "if this is small I'd hate to see medium." Whilst it took him a while to come to terms with the reality of his situation, he finally listened to his wife, friends and doctor, and took the advice to change his diet, start exercising more, and work on controlling stress.
It was a transformational period in his life, as he started to live more in the moment, and be able to find the incredible joy and gratitude that was waiting for hi every day. All he had to do was look for it. Since that time he has published a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day he celebrates the great things that happen. Since he started this journey, he has met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. And he has laughed a lot. He even wrote a book on the subject - he describes it as an International Best Sort of Seller (it went to #1 on free books when he released it... that's sort of a sale).
Phil is an exceptional communicator, with a powerful message. As a speaker, before his experience with heart disease, he shared some inspiring thoughts around goal setting as he tells his story of a three year journey to spend 15 minutes of fame, on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 2003. On that show, he walked away with $32,000. This is a wonderful conversation to help you find the joy that is waiting for you every single day.

Chris Freer had a life many would see as successful. He was the owner of five pubs and two clubs in the United Kingdom, and he was working hard to provide a lifestyle for himself and his family. As often is the case with very driven individuals, great career success comes at a cost. The cost was his marriage, and his wellbeing.
When Chris started feeling unwell, he went on a journey to find out what was impacting his well being. Many doctors visits and tests revealed that he had Multiple Sclerosis. The good news, as he was told by one doctor, was that he would still have 20 years before symptoms would really start to appear. Unfortunately for Chris, this was not to be and very soon he was experiencing daily challenges.
Coupled with his marriage ending, his ailing health led him to a decision to end the pain, and his life. On the day he decided to commit suicide, and in the moment it was to happen, the eyes of a stranger saved him. Since that day, Chris has made it his mission to show more compassion towards himself, and others, and he is now impacting lives every single day. Trust me when I say, this is a conversation not to be missed.

She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway.

Rhi is challenging many people with confronting pictures she is regularly posting on social media. Her goal is to honour herself and her missing breast, and to inspire people to learn to love every part of themselves just as they are.

Elise Peck had a challenging upbringing. She developed beliefs about herself, relationships and happiness that were having a very destructive impact on her life. She was very keen to change her situation and became heavily in involved in personal development from a young age. In her obsession for personal development, she lost sight of who she really was, and the fact that she was amazing, just as she was, even with her flaws, imperfections, insecurities, and quirks.
Through a transformational journey in which she really learned to love herself, she became inspired to help others. Her niche is to help people find the magic that is available to them in romantic relationships. She refers to a wonderful quote from Dr Seuss: “We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
Having completed thousands of 1-on-1 hours with coaching clients from around the world to create incredible results in their lives, Elise is most passionate about supporting people to experience deep connection, more fulfilment, to uncover and accept who they truly are, and to unleash their true power and potential.

As I was talking to Sean Bell in Episode 102, called Run for wishes, I was amazing at the incredible believe and capacity of this young man. He had run 50 marathons in 50 days to honor his friend Joey and make a difference and was talking about his next adventure. That was to run from Cairns to Melbourne with a vision of 60 in 60 for 60. In other words, to average 60kms per day for 60 days to raise $60k for the Make a Wish Foundation. He called it Run for Wishes.
Well, he didn't do it. He did way better! Instead of 60km's per day, he averaged about 67km. Instead of 60 days, he ran for 62 days. Instead of raising $60,000, he raised over $100,000. He went through seven pairs of running shoes, he ate about 300 donuts, 250 slices of pizza and 14kg of hummus. But the greatest joy for Sean was, not just getting the job done, but was the impact this run has had and will have on many many lives.
His vision is to inspire people to get out of their comfort zone, think big ask the question, what if?, and chase their dreams. Sean faced many challenges on this 62 day adventure, but with a dream in his heart, a great team of people around him and the vision of his purpose, he got the job done, one step at a time. Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.

Jeff Teale is passionate about helping people turn their career hours into a meaning, fulfilling and joyful part of their lives. He spent many years of his life doing something that would seem to many as living the dream. However, he was not happy and even though he was travelling the world as a successful entertainer, he was not living his passion, and at the end of the day just doing it for the money. It was just a job. So, he went on a mission to use his experiences to find his calling in life.
Recognising that the time people spend in their income producing pursuit is the majority of their waking hours, he dedicated himself to helping people find their calling in life. He started HeXTalent, a Melbourne based Talent eXchange and Career Engagement business. Traditional agency recruitment models have remained unchanged for decades. In many ways the processes are outdated and broken! He wanted to know why haven’t they changed and discovered that it was because owners & consultants can ignore the negative ‘recruiter’ stigma & ‘commercially driven’ (often neglectful) processes, when they see the dollar signs and realise their earning potential.
HeXTalent hopes to challenge industry norms by providing an alternative (cost effective) engagement model for clients and a far more connected and humanistic career journey for talent. Now just four years in, he has found his passion and has created an App called HeXComm, to help people connect their career with their wellbeing. This is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and will change lives.

Tor writes (fiction and non-fiction), is a sometime artist (public sculpture & painting), loves reading speculative fiction, is keen on philosophy, architecture, community activism, feminism and… generally likes thinking about things and doing things. Patrick started his career as a radio journalist, now he does fun stuff running his own business and making websites, does graphic design work, is keen on gadgets and community activism and secularism and… generally likes thinking about things and doing things.
This unlikely duo have started a wonderful podcast called, Ok, Smart-ass. The show where they put technology under the microscope, they take a photo of it with their smartphones, zoom in really close, chuck it into the blender, press the button and look at what’s happening in technology innovation and gadgets that make our lives so much more exciting.
In this conversation, I am amazed at the incredible technology that is out there, and being developed, that is helping and will help people improve the quality of their lives. I challenged Tor and Patrick to discuss how tech can help people be healthier and live lives of joyful longevity. They did not disappoint and what you will enjoy is an incredible conversation that will give you hope, help and happiness.

For much of her young adult life, Josie Warren struggled with autoimmune disorders, severe food allergies, a debilitating eating disorder anorexia, alcoholism, ADD, and anxiety and depression. She was told by her medical doctors that each of her diagnoses was lifelong and that she just needed to manage them the best she could for the rest of her life. Josie felt crushed, like a lost cause and there was really no hope for her. She was only in her twenties – these were supposed to be the best years of her life.
Fortunately, Josie was on a quest for answers and had a lightening bolt awareness- the emotional stress in her life had unknowingly created all of her illnesses. The good news was she could do something about her stress. From this shift in awareness, she knew she could change her relationship to stress. So, as a result, she decided to jump out into life and face the things that were previously causing her stress. As she began to realize that her illnesses were in her control, in less than two months, all her symptoms dissolved and faded away.
Seven years later, Josie is 100 percent healthy and no longer has any of her former conditions. “I feel fully alive, not just surviving.” She is passionate and excited about sharing what saved her life with others. Josie knows in her heart that it is her calling to be a beacon of light to show the world that there is another way, that true healing is possible. This is an incredible conversation that inspired me beyond belief.

On his website, Jem Fuller says:
Through my colourful and wonderfully varied life, I have been curious as to how much influence we have over the quality of our experiences and the results we get. This interest has led me to study various ancient healing arts, mind practices and in the last 2 decades leadership, coaching, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Human Behavioural Profiling and Mindfulness Meditation.
The answer to my enquiry has been a resounding “YES”… The way we think, focus, act and move… our perspective and mental agility, our ability to communicate and access equanimity, have profound impacts on our lives and the lives of others.
My mission is to share this with you.
I loved my conversation with Jem as he honestly and transparently discusses his journey which has led him around the world, to devastating loss, to learning and growing, and finally to the place now where he impacts and inspires many people through his speaking, his facilitating and his writing. What he has discovered, and we discuss, is that communication is the key to happiness, fulfillment, wellbeing and prosperity. Not just communication, but deliberate, self-aware and conscious communication.
In this conversation we talk about a range of amazing things. We discuss communication, we delve into ego, and we talk about the importance of self-awareness coupled with self-okayness. We discovered the foundation of communication comes down to the identity we have of ourselves, and the basis of that identity. What would the fly on the wall hear that was spoken about you at your funeral? An important question to ponder. This is an engaging and inspiring podcast I urge you to listen to.

Stacey Copas was a sporty, energetic and driven young girl whose life was turned upside down after diving into a shallow pool at the age of 12 years old. After breaking her neck, drowning and then being revived, she was told she would never walk again. Now in a wheelchair for life, what would she do with a future that at one point seemed so bright?
After many years of despair, depression and drugs, Stacey finally came to a realisation. That realisation was that her accident was actually something she could not change. So, she could complain about it, be depressed by it, use it as her excuse, or she could find the answers, to get her through the tough times, in the midst of the emotions she was experiencing. She decided to feel every moment, and use it to gain the awareness, understanding and answers she needed to live a life of significance.
Stacey is now writing her second book, is speaking to many people and sharing a message that is impacting many many lives. She is passionate, she is relatable, she is wise beyond her years and she left me feeling totally inspired. I know she will do the same for you and you will feel amazing after listening to Stacey Copas.

Her success after sport, within many organisations, has happened with her same zest for living and willingness to just give things a go.
She has learned a lot about being more attentive, focussed and intentional about her 'yeses', however, she is still interested in squeezing the most out of life and the experiences it offers every single day.

I was totally spellbound as I listened the wisdom and felt the incredible energy of the amazing Cliona Byrne. She wasn't always so confident and radiant as she is now. She used to stand in front of the mirror, suck in her tummy, and emotionally beat herself up for how she looked. Her bitchy inner critic (as she calls it) used to love to tell her that she needed to lose weight.
She said, "I’ve since slapped the microphone out of that bitch’s hand."
Cliona used to believe that her life would be 10x shinier, happier, and more fabulous once she hit her goal weight. Long story short, that didn’t work. She also had a crooked bite for the first 20 years of her life and had to wear a brace for 4 years in her late teens and twenties AND had her jaw broken and re-aligned. As you can imagine, her body confidence wasn’t anywhere near the bikini wearing level it is now. She used to hide from the camera and felt uncomfortable in her body at family gatherings. She was the person who wore black baggy clothes to hide herself and spent the whole time feeling fat.
Over time Cliona started to see a confident woman looking back at her in the mirror, as she saw the real her. She started to actually like the way she looked! She began wearing whatever she wanted (that includes a bikini), She stopped being afraid of the camera, and finally felt that shiny happy feeling she thought she would feel once she lost weight and had the surgery to fix her jaw. It turns out that she didn’t need to change herself to get that feeling, she just had to change her relationship with herself. She has now become the coach for adults, parents and teens that she needed when she was a teen. This is a powerful and life-altering conversation, not to be missed.

I loved speaking with Dr Matt Zakreski. Full time American, part-time Aussie who spent many years down-under surfing, connecting with people and drinking VB. Dr Matt is a gifted and neuro-diverse person who has developed an incredible passion and become a longtime advocate for the underserved needs of Gifted kids, Dr. Matt has shaped his career around his passion for serving this population, starting with being a counselor (and a camper) at the Center for Talented Youth summer program as a teenager. Dr. Matt has his own private practice, The Neurodiversity Collective, LLC, and offers therapy, consultation/coaching, and assessment. Additionally, Dr. Matt's facebook page has become a fun platform for mental health advocacy and humor.
Hi perspective on helping all people get out of 'the box' that society tends to push people into is transformational. His focus on helping people identify values and living a value-driven life by getting them to ask 'the miracle question' is inspiring. His desire to help people play to their strengths and love their lives is empowering. His experience and close call with a shark while surfing in Sydney is a little scary, but entertaining!
Dr. Matt loves keynoting and speaking at conferences and has proudly done so all over the USA and internationally. He additionally provides trainings and consultations for business and school to increase support for neurodiverse individuals of all ages. He previously served as a board member of PAGE, the Pennsylvania Association for Gifted Education, and continues to work closely with multiple state organizations around the country.

The story of Leanne Spencer starts in March 2012. She was working for a market data company in the City of London; her career had spanned about 17 years but she was bored and unfulfilled, and self-medicating against increasing stress levels with alcohol (lots of it, daily). She felt like she was wasting her life, bouncing from pay day to pay day and living in an increasingly unsustainable way. Things came to a head one afternoon in March, as she was crossing over London Bridge having left a client meeting and had just received bad news about a deal she was expecting to hit my sales target. She was burned out, chronically abusing alcohol and several stone overweight. In addition to that, everything she was doing and saying lacked authenticity. It was time for a drastic change.
On Monday morning she resigned. She was free, but unemployed and with very little in her savings account. It was a nervous time because she had no clear plan about what she was going to do next. She realised what she wanted to do was really at the intersection of two things: business and health, so that was the genesis of her company, Bodyshot. Since then, she has written three bestselling books, hosts two podcasts, has been written about in Entrepreneur Magazine and have spoken for companies such as Odeon Cinemas, DAZN, Britvic, Zurich Insurance, iTech Media, Bacardi, Thoughtworks, Moonbug Entertainment, Flywire and many more. Her personal values are to live truthfully, considerately and to "suck all the marrow out of life" to paraphrase the poet Thoreau.
In this fabulous podcast we discuss the key aspects of living a life of joy, and totally aligned with identity, values and purpose. The key area we focus on is recovery and how to simply and easily incorporate slivers of recovery into even the most hectic of lifestyles. This truly is a wonderful conversation I know you will benefit from.

The first thing I noticed when I read Jonathan McLernon's profile was his mission to he marry the Science of Metabolism with the Psychology of Behavior Change and the Compassion of Human Connection to create life-changing transformations with his clients. Wow, that is a powerful statement and one I wanted to understand more fully. Jonathan calls himself an online nutrition and fitness coach, but I discovered very quickly that he is way more than that.
The fact he ballooned to well over 100lbs (45kg) overweight was an emotional and fear based response to a couple of pretty traumatic experiences. To be attacked by a group of four men who tried to beat him to death in Africa is a hard event to easily overcome. as is losing everything in a failed business venture. His binge eating to cover up his own self-loathing got him to the point he knew he needed to reach out and ask for help.
It was the compassion that was shown to him by his coach, and what he leaned about self-worth, that helped him to, day-by-day and one step at a time, transform his life. He now spends his life, with compassionate awareness, helping other people enjoy the lives they were destined to live. He is a humble and inspiring man, and this truly is a conversation that everyone needs to hear.

The first thing you will notice about Rhianne Miller, as soon as she starts speaking, is that she is totally down-to-earth and passionate about loving her life.

That is the life she has created for herself, so if that isn't a reason to listen to find out how she did that, I don't know what is.
Just a few years ago, Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world. She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway. She has publicly and unashamedly honored herself and her body as a message to all people that they are beautiful, just the way they are.
Rhianne is using her challenge and journey as a way to help other people experiencing adversity in their lives. She is currently developing an online wellness hub called Rhivive, as a one-stop shop where she is bringing together wellness businesses to nurture people through difficult times. She is now choosing herself and encourages people everywhere to choose themselves.

Michael Alcée grew up seeing therapy and thriving go hand in hand.
As a social worker, his mother had an office on the side of their house, and he would often pass clients on their way out as he was riding his bike down the street. They looked so much lighter than when they came in. Intrigued by the magic happening inside, he wanted to learn how to create and be a part of that magic, too.
It wasn’t uncommon for his piano practice to sneak in past the soundproofing of my mother’s office. Surprisingly enough, many clients told her how much they enjoyed the playing, lamenting it when it wasn’t there, and even requesting it when it was quiet. From this, Michael learned the importance of how much we all seek to have the arts in our lives – and what a difference that truly makes. As somebody who’s always appreciated music, literature, and the arts, he loves to bring it all together in his work as a therapist and to be part of the magic that therapy truly brings.
Michael, now a PhD in clinical psychology, a psychotherapist, a mental health educator and an author, his passion is to help his clients feel the freedom on the inside so they can create the life they want on the outside. With a unique perspective on emotional regulation and the power of the artistic creativity we all possess, Michael is having a profound effect on many lives. Including yours, as you enjoy this wonderful conversation.

Kate Strong and I, from different ends of the world, spoke as guests on each others podcasts. To be honest, talking to Kate, I felt, and still feel, that I need to play a bigger game. As she shared her story with me, and then told me how she had given up all her revenue streams to focus on building a bike out of bamboo in preparation to ride 5000km around the UK to create awareness of climate change, I knew this was a special lady and it was going to be an incredible conversation. I wasn't wrong.
Kate has incredible diversity in her background: engineer, athlete, coach, speaker, adventurer and advocate. She spoke about her transition from business owner, living in poverty, yet with so much richness, as she described it, to world champion tri-athlete in just two years, which is an incredible story in itself. Then to find her mission and passion for advocating for action against climate change and building sustainability, which has got her doing things that many would not believe possible. She is most certainly living a bigger game than many.
Kate is currently operating and thriving on faith that things will fall into place, and there are. She is focussed on her own identity and making sure it is one that she cannot lose in the journey of life. She is most definitely living and inspiring others to live a life outside their comfort zone and is reaping the rewards of joy, passion, purpose, meaning, significance and self-worth as a result.

I have to admit, I sat spellbound for the vast majority of this podcast as Charlene Madden told her story. I need to just warn you, as a potential listener, this podcast and what Charlene has experienced in her life is confronting and may be triggering for some people. But let me tell you, it will also be very inspiring, healing and hope-giving as Charlene, despite decades of abuse, addiction, mental health challenges and suicidal intent is now living a life full of passion and purpose inspiring people all around the world.
When she spoke at her first event after choosing to live and help other people, and told her story, she explained to the audience her mission was to save just one life. Well, that mission was achieved when, as she was walking off stage she was approached by a lady who said: You said your mission was to save one life, well, you did it! The lady then simply turned and walked away. This is testament to the power of the story you are about to listen to.
Abandoned as a small child by her parents, sexually abused by her grandfather for 9 years from the age of 3 is not the beginning to life you would wish on anyone! It's not hard to understand why addiction, self-harm, zero-self worth and suicidal thoughts followed for Charlene and haunted her for many decades. How she is still here and now doing what she is doing, with an unconditional love for herself, came through divine intervention, for sure. She is inspiring people all around the world to choose life. Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.

Kara Bitar had what would most would believe was the perfect life. She had a great job as a lawyer, worked on complex cases involving interesting legal issues, was appreciated and supported by her colleagues, was able to do a significant amount of pro bono work for victims of domestic violence and was eventually named leader of the firm’s pro bono domestic violence program. She made a lot of money, had a charming home in a beautiful city, had two cute little dogs and a loving husband.
Even though on the outside Kara looked successful, she was unhappy. She was not sure why she was unhappy. Given everything she had, she thought she should be happy. But she felt like my life primarily consisted of expending all of her energy at work, pushing her body and mind to their limits, coming home at night, eating dinner in a daze, collapsing into bed and then doing it all over again. She felt tired most of the time, her body ached, she had a number of health issues and her relationships felt superficial. She was also plagued by self-critical and fearful thoughts, nothing she did was ever good enough for her, no amount of success was enough.
After six years of law, she decided to leave and find healing, joy and her dream life. She tried everything and committed a full time approach for 18 months to find answers, only to find herself in a deeper and darker place than before she left law. Now questioning her decision to leave her profession, she decided to try one more thing, Kundalini Yoga. It was in that moment, she found something that actually helped her, and started her off on an exciting journey.
Kara now combines the dedication and commitment that it took to become a successful attorney, real-life training in what it takes to succeed at high-levels, and extensive research, experience and training in how to optimize our lives, to help individuals excel in their professional and creative endeavours, be energized and excited about life, and experience their full potential. She does this through Optimization Programs she developed, Coaching and teaching Kundalini Yoga. Kara is a KRI Certified Instructor of Kundalini Yoga, Reiki Master, Certified ThetaHealing® Practitioner and Certified SoulRealignment® Practitioner. She is dedicated to help people actually live the dream! Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.

I am incredibly excited to have reached episode number 100! When I started this podcast, I had no idea what I was doing, but, as I have done with many things, I just started one step at a time, one podcast per week and I simply kept going. To be honest, my first podcast was a little embarrassing, but with each week that came and each guest I had, the more I realised that this podcast is not about me. Instead, it's about the inspiration I can glean from amazing guests, and the impact it can have on the people who listen. This is why I love it so much.
There are times in all of our lives when reflecting on and celebrating what you have achieved is a necessity. If you don't, what's the point of doing anything. This podcast is a about reflecting. Reflecting on what has changed in the world over the last two years, reflecting on how I have changed in the last two years and reflecting on the amazing guests I have spoken to over the last two years.
As you listen to this podcast, I hope it inspires you to go back and listen or re-listen to one or more of the first 100 episodes. I know there is something in one or more of these podcasts you actually need to hear, and will absolutely impact your life, right now. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for listening to my podcast, and if you have shared it, I am very grateful for you. I hope you will stay with me for the next 100 episodes, and that you enjoy my reflections.

Several years before his AFL career really took off Shaun Hart experienced a severe mental health challenge. His focus was on his fitness, his performance and his work ethic to the point of exhaustion, physically mentally and emotionally. It got to the point he didn't even want to get out of bed, and if it wasn't for his wife and the club chaplain, he would have given up. Instead, he went on to play 273 games, including three successful premierships in a row with the Lions, and winning the coveted Norm Smith medal in 2001, for best player in the Grand Final.
What changed for Shaun, and in fact the whole team, was the shift in focus from performance based identity to identity based performance. Knowing that he was a valuable person, then player, irrespective of his on field performance made all the difference to his game, and was the reason for the club amazing success. Since then, Shaun has gone on to coach sporting teams, businesses and individuals with this same emphasis.
Shaun talks in detail about the third dimension of the human experience, one that many ignore, and highlights why it is the most important. The first dimension is physical, the second mental and the third spiritual. With a focus on the six elements of the third dimension: identity, purpose, significance, value, character and self-worth, anything is possible. Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.

Craig Harper and I go back many decades and he is a great friend and former business partner of mine. He is a powerful speaker, prolific author, popular radio presenter and host of globally acclaimed the 'You Project' podcast. We are back together in this podcast with a mission to help you do things differently in 2022. We re-coined the well-worn, over-used and less-than-effective phrase 'News Years Resolution', to the new-and-improved 'New Years Restitution'.
The definition of restitution is: The act of restoring to the rightful owner something that has been taken away, lost, or surrendered. We have all had things taken away, lost or surrendered and then we try to compensate by striving, pushing and fighting for external achievement in the hope that it will help us feel better about ourselves. Well, that's me anyway! For me, being a professional athlete, having an athletic body, being and author or the other things I achieved never worked to help me feel worthy. That is why I needed restitution. My feeling is that many people feel the same.
Craig shares his incredible insights into building the inner person, through focussing on values, identity and the things that bring joy. Life is to be lived and loved, and when we remove the rubbish that society expects of us and follow our own path, then loving life becomes a very real option. It is my greatest desire that you will immerse yourself into this conversation with Craig Harper and get all the wisdom that he has to share.

Because of his very analytical right-brain thinking, Matheo Galatis was formally trained as a Chartered Accountant with experience in mining, banking, retail and distribution. However, what his educational advice failed to take into account was that this career was not his passion, not did it energise or excite him. Consequently, Matheo spent an immense amount of time learning and studying various disciplines of healing and human potential. He has immersed himself in diverse personal development programs some of which he now facilitates.
He has personally trained over 200 consciousness coaches, has mentored over 40 coaches and has also trained and examined high performance transformational trainers and teams internationally. He has lead group transformational training programs for over 3000 participants in public courses, organisational trainings and retreats since 2012. Matheo is also a coach examiner and coach supervisor. He has worked with clients from 27 different countries, ranging from successful CEO’s, political and public personalities, executives, coaches, trainers, therapists and entrepreneurs.
What blew me away in this conversation Matheo was his perspective around self-worth and living a true and authentic life. When the truth is revealed, Matheo believes real communication and transformation can occur. He is currently writing a book on how to increase self-worth and transform feelings of unworthiness, and believes when we resolve our past, we allow ourselves to pursue our true potential. Matheo is taking the personal development industry to a whole new level by supporting people to find what he calls ‘your transformational why’ – the one thing that usually prevents them from getting unstuck and achieving their life ambitions. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

Steve Pinner describes himself as a run-of-the-mill bloke who loves his family, loves his mates and loves his sport. He is passionate about helping men to be the best they can be and be positive role models in the life of the women, children and other men in their lives. He is well aware that there is a challenging stage for men between 35 and 55 years of age, as they transition into their older adult years, that men can find themselves lost and asking, what is it all about?
In late 2014 he lost a job he loved. Made redundant out of the blue. With his 41st birthday only weeks away and with a young family to provide for, he found myself in a bit of a pickle. To complicate things, he was also struggling a bit in a number of areas of his life. In effect, he was putting up a brave front while battling away behind closed doors. He was not depressed, but he was down at times and often sleepless with worry. He realised this is not an uncommon feeling for men, and became passionate about finding a way to help men re-engage with their lives.
The research that he undertook was eye opening and life changing. It was changing his life and he knew that it would do the same to the men of his generation. He talks about a rite-of-passage that all boys need to go through to become healthy men and have a positive influence on many other members of their community. He offers some wonderful strategies for men to help them transition with ease and purpose into the many different phases of their lives. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for well over 20 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.
In this podcast we discuss a very topical and relevant subject: surviving the silly season and making it a season to be healthy. There are many temptations and challenges to looking after ourselves at this time of the years. Unfortunately, many people, in just a couple of weeks, will do significant damage to their bodies without even realising it, with the attitude of over-indulgence at this time of the year. It doesn't have to be that way, and you can still indulge, enjoy and stay lean, healthy and energised at this time of the year.
Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful strategies that will transform your eating habits and your life, at this treacherous time of the year, if you take them on board and take action. It is my greatest desire that you will take positive action and truly make it a season to be healthy. Perry is a knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining man who I loved talking to. I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.

Helen Mac has been inspiring and empowering people for many decades. She is the author of two books, has contributed to another four, is a professional speaker, empowering trainer and passionate coach. Her message is strong and clear and it is that optimism is where we need to be, if living our best life is the goal. She explained to me the difference between optimism and positive thinking, and it was very powerful.
Helen's resolve and message of optimism was severely tested when her husband of 30 years, Lachlan, became very ill and passed away only four years ago. As she was describing this heartbreaking journey, she also inspired me with the passion and love she and Lachlan had for each other. I was spellbound as she explained how they went about making sure Lachlan left as he chose to go and Helen lived her life after he had gone. I discovered one thing for sure: optimism is not just what Helen talks about, it is how she lives her life.
Helen's process for an optimising life is simple and empowering, and I know it will impact every single person who listens and acts of her four step process. She has transformed her life, her business and is now re-married and blissfully happy. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

Jan Cocks-Salvemini was born into a beautiful family with parents who encouraged her to dream big and fight for her dreams. That was certainly a profound strength when, at the age of 10-months, she became para-abled for life after being bitten by a diseased mosquito. She now has limited use of the right side of her body, wears a big bright red boot to get around, and is blissfully happy in her life.
Jan is on a mission to change the word 'disabled' to 'para-abled', as she believes 'disabled' is a negative word that somehow indicates these people are less than able-bodied people. This is a lady with plans to take her voice to the United Nations and World Health Organisation to state her case. So, as you can see, she is still dreaming big and believing for a global change in attitude towards the one billion people in the world who currently have a para-ability.
She is such an energised and engaging communicator who is passionate about her cause. She had me when she told me the story of walking through a shopping center wearing the bright red boot she needed to keep her ankle from collapsing. You will love the story as I did. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

I have an incredible passion, in fact mission and purpose, to create a wave of wellness all around the world and help people live their best lives. My guest host Deborah Stathis has a very similar purpose. As I launch my latest book 'TEARS of Joy', I am truly excited about and expecting that this book will impact the hearts and minds of everyone who reads it. I want people to experience tears of joy in their lives over and over again. I want people to understand there is a predictable process to make that happen. That is what the book and this podcast is all about.
Everything we have and will have, experience and will experience in our lives are the end product of the unconscious routines we create. Those routines if deliberately created, will produce tears of joy, trust me. It all starts with a deliberate focus of our thoughts, which leads us to experience an empowering emotion, which by definition moves us into spontaneous action. With determination and the right strategies we can all develop the routines that will lead us to abundant and joyful success in life. That is what the book and this podcast is all about.
Deb does an amazing job hosting this podcast, and she is an inspiring example of this TEARS of joy process. You will love the conversation. You will be inspired by the stories. You will be empowered to create permanent positive change in your life. You will be ready to get started as soon as the podcast is over. Enjoy this wonderful conversation.

Kelly Murphy, Jarred Kellerman and I got together with one goal in mind. That is to help teenagers believe more in themselves, find more confidence in the strengths they have and feel empowered to speak up and feel heard. You may have heard that it takes a community to raise a healthy young person, but actually, it takes a healthy and aware community to raise healthy young people. This is why we started YACC, Youth Advocates of Community Change. To help young people, parents, educators and community leaders come together, get on the same page and build a healthy and aware community.
Kelly Murphy after dealing with trauma and homelessness as a young person is a personal counselor who works with many troubled your people at the Australian Center of Trauma and Wellness. Jarred Kellerman, also with challenges as a disengaged young person, is now on a mission to help build resilience in adolescent youth & improve confidence in joining the "real world". These are two wonderful people who I respect totally and love working with.
This is a powerful conversation about how we can help empower the amazing potential that lies within every young person. Regardless of whether you are a teenager, were a teenager, have a teenager, educate teenagers or having any contact with or influence over a teenager, this conversation will have something that will make a difference, not just in the lives of young people, but in your own life as well. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

I first met Susan Meaney when she was senior leader, amazing athlete and Australian player with the Melbourne Phoenix Netball Club. Myself and my good friend Craig Harper had the privilege of doing the strength and conditioning work for the team for several years. She was a super-focussed and incredibly disciplined athlete who made the most of her time as a player, going on to play close to 250 games at the highest level, including 9 for her country.
Susan was way more than an incredible athlete. She was a great leader of people and did so by example and by encouraging (and entertaining) her team mates. When her first son came along, she decided to leave the sport as a player and focus on being the best mother she could be. Now with four children, Meaners (as I call her), has been able to find and love her new life as a mother, but also as an influencer in sport and with the younger generation coming through. How she transitioned from elite sport to amazing mum, is a wonderful story all parents, sports people and, in fact, everyone, needs to hear.
The comment that resonated with me the most was when Meaners said, 'life is not a competition', and that comparison with others will never lead to happiness. She suggested we stay in our own lane, which I love. Susan is focused on her own wellbeing, her family and making a difference in the lives of people she comes into contact with. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

Pavel Verbnyak is a passionate man. He was born in communist Soviet Union, under very strict and controlling rule, and he had a passionate desire to be free from the limiting thoughts and beliefs that were a hangover from that time.

On his website, Dr. Jacques Mitchell states that he is on an assignment to bring encouragement, motivation and life changing tools into lives across the globe. He is doing it in a big way. He has more than a decade of public speaking and leadership experience, both in the secular world as well as the church environment. He is an accomplished self published author of seven books, including; Effectively Conquering Your Day, 30 Days of Power, Growing To The Next Level, What God Is Like, Winning Quotes for Living, Secrets To Writing Your First Book, & Breaking Through & Burnout.
During this conversation Jacques announced some exciting news, which you will have to listen to if you want to know what it is. One of the most exciting things for me, is that my first association with Dr Jacques was when he purchased my 'One Word at a Time' online program to write his first book, almost ten years ago. Look at him now. He is a man with passion, purpose and a powerful vision to impact many lives.
In this podcast we focus on vision. It is the non-negotiable starting point of any meaningful achievement. Jacques discusses how to get it, how to keep it and how to make it reality. We also discuss overcoming the greatest enemy there is... doubt and discouragement. In a logical thinking world, we would subscribe to the theory that unless you can see something in reality, you can't believe it. In this podcast we subscribe to the focus of faith which says, in fact, that when you believe in your vision, then you will see it in reality, This is a wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.

The very last thing Yair Kellner said after this captivating conversation, and talking about more than 60 years of adventure, outdoors, camping, hiking, paddle-boarding, canoeing, climbing and bike-packing was this; It's never too late to have a happy childhood. Now in his mid-sixties, Yair is still loving his childhood, and all the adventures that go with it.
From the age of five he has had a passion for the great outdoors, the beauty of nature, and learning to adapt in environments much different to the one most of us are used to. The lessons he has picked up along the way are not just about how to survive when you fall through the ice in 30-50 degree below temperatures with an 80kg fully-laden bike. He has learned about perspective, humility, peace, mindfulness, determination and understanding the rules that each situation requires.
How he survived in Alaska, when all the odds were stacked against him, is a story you don't want to miss. I mean, when taking all your clothes off after getting out of the below zero river to avoid them encasing you in the 30 degree below outside air is your best option for survival, you know things are bad. This is a man with calm courage, life experience, amazing wisdom and powerful stories. This is a wonderful conversation you will want to enjoy.

Up until the age of 12, Matthew Caruana had lived a very typical life for a child in the city of Sydney. He had a great family, lots of friends and a comforting neighborhood, BUT everything was about to change drastically!
He constantly questioned his self worth, self image and whether he even brought any value to the world? He often wondered if people would even care if he was alive or not? This caused major depression within himself and after years of dwelling on these questions, he felt even more worthless and struggled to see a reason to go on. He could’ve sworn he was the only one at the time feeling these emotions and having these thoughts, so he bottled them up and kept them all within.
These thoughts sent him down a path of destruction with drug abuse, depression, anxiety and ultimately on the 9th of January 2016, at only 16 years of age, he decided enough was enough and it was time to end his suffering. He made the final decision that it was time to end his life. Suicide seemed like his only option. He thought it would be his final moment, but woke up in hospital, two weeks later, with a Spinal Cord Injury and a level of sadness and depression, now enhanced by the fact that he couldn’t even do suicide right.
He had to quickly adapt to new changes in his life. After a chance encounter with an inspiring stranger, he discovered the value in connection and relationships, and began to open up to others. With that, all meaningful relationships grew closer in his life and things started to progressively get better for him! Most importantly, he began to feel acceptance.
He started to believe he could help people and so began sharing his story. As he did, all thoughts and feelings of Depression, Anxiety and Suicide magically disappeared. The questions about self worth and self image were soon replaced with a sense of purpose and a reason to live. He had found his calling and realised he could help others to find theirs. His message is powerful. His message is that when we feel, we will heal, and when share, we see how much people care. Don't miss this conversation.

Jamie Ryder was gifted with the (dis) ability of dyslexia. This reduced his ability in reading and spelling, and it super charged his ability to see patterns. He sees through problems, tragedy & negativity and clearly see an opportunity, solution & possibility. Having this (dis) ability is hugely powerful, however, learning it for him has been a wild ride.
For Jamie, winning was everything, as a cowboy, a financial planner, a businessman and entrepreneur. His opponent wasn’t his enemy, he had become his own enemy. At his core he felt 2nd place was the first loser. He saw loss as him being a loser, he saw failure as worse than loss and had created his own false reality that loss & failure would define him as such. How wrong he was. He found himself through tragedy, won through loss and succeeded though failure. He gained perception, value, depth, meaning, experience, character and humility. And through this he found his purpose.
Since that time, Jamie has clocked up almost 250,000 connections on TikTok, is an empowering mindset coach and is an engaging and inspiring speaker. Finding gratitude when adversity hits is one of his specialties, and as a result of his dyslexia, being able to see solutions enables him to help many people. If you want to overcome challenges and trauma in your life, and create abundance, then this is a conversation you must hear.

In 2011, Geneviève Pépin got her dream job. She thought to herself, ”Starting today, I am waking up knowing that I am working toward saving the world." She gave it everything she got. A year later, she resigned. She was crying in the shower, developed an eating disorder, and didn’t want to get out of bed anymore. Enough!
She was lucky to be offered another dream job opportunity right after. New job, new life! She had a supportive boss, was working with awesome people, and loved her job. She worked hard and climbed the ladder and was on top of the world. In 2014, things started going south, again. Her anxiety levels were off the charts, she often worked until midnight, her eating disorder was getting stronger, and she found myself crying, alone in my city-center apartment more often than not.
Within 60 days she had moved to a different continent – and as soon as she got her work visa, was offered a great management job opportunity. This was late 2015. New country, new language, new colleagues, new job, new life! She was determined to succeed. In 2017, her stress levels were higher than ever, her eating disorder was replaced by other self-harming behaviors, she didn’t care about her job anymore and was coming home crying. She quit.
She then got into entrepreneurship and was determined to create the real change she wanted to see in the world. New boss (her), new industry, new lifestyle, new life! She was glued to her computer and gave it everything I got, and you guessed it, after the honeymoon phase passed, her health and happiness started going south. Again.

In 1995, Jackie Simmons was blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt after a day of clothes shopping went awry. This took Jackie down a path which led to depression, addiction, medical mysteries, and deadly silences. The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone. Although she declared to the outside world that she was fine, Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.
Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter, broke the silence. Jackie calls August 3, the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.” From that moment, with her daughters, Jackie's mission became to prevent teen suicide. Together they created “The Talk to Stop Teen Suicide,” a script to build emotional resiliency inside families and beyond. Jackie calls the strategy a way to create pure prevention, but trust me it is way more than that. It is absolutely a way to move people towards pure perpetual positivity.
Now a TEDx speaker, Radio Show Host, International Best-selling Author, Mindset Magician, co-founder and Director of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie is focussed on her mission to “Stop Teen Suicide.” This conversation is real, raw and powerful and you will be inspired to become part of this movement to, not just save so many valuable lives, but help lead them to purpose, passion and perpetual positivity. Enjoy my amazing conversation with Jackie Simmons.

Jade Lauren Edmistone, an Australian Swimmer, Entrepreneur, Author and Motivational Speaker, was born in Brisbane in 1982. At the age of 8, she joined her local swim club, where her natural affinity and love for the water developed.
As a late bloomer, it wasn't until the age of 16 that Jade started making headway in the sport, but after the tragic loss of a close friend and her resultant battle with depression, she quit at just 18 years of age.
Two years on in 2002, aged 20, Jade set her sights on becoming the fastest women in the world, and returned to the pool once again. With exceptional focus and drive, Jade's goal was achieved when she broke her first World Record in 2004, becoming the fastest woman ever over the 50m breaststroke. Jade continued her dominance over sprint breaststroke, breaking 5 World Records and winning 3 World Titles between 2004 and 2006, before retiring in 2009.
After a lengthy battle with serious mental health issues since retirement, Jade, a mother of 2 beautiful daughters, had to fight her way back to health as she navigated her difficult transition from elite sport to 'normality'. Sharing her story in a powerful book, Fish Out Of Water, Jade now continues her passionate involvement with sport as an entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker, passionate about helping the future generations by sharing her story.
I asked Jade what she would suggest to people wanting to get the best out of themselves and their lives, and she said, 'be open to anything.' Then, she went on to tell me her favorite quote, and the thing that most helped her break her free from the medication she was on, and that was, 'Jump and the net will appear!' . Enjoy this incredible conversation.

In 2018 Bruce Molloy could not have found himself at a darker place in life. Ironically, just a few months before losing his job, his relationship and his home, he had purchased a camper van to go on some travels with his then partner. As he contemplated his situation, and with some very dark thoughts, he spotted a twenty cent coin wedged between the windscreen and the dashboard of his camper van. He picked it up and, with nothing else to lose, decided to flip the coin to direct his next move.
That simple and single flip of the coin, started Bruce on a wonderful journey of travel, experiences, enlightenment and freedom, that he still enjoys to this day. It took him around Australia and over to Bali. It helped him face and overcome many fears. It was the reason why he wrote his book in just 10 days. It was what brought him back to Australia where he started his business Black Dog Green.
I was mesmerised as I listened to Bruce talk about this incredible journey. As soon as it was over, I flipped a coin to work out what I would have for dinner that night, and I ended up cooking something that I had not previously considered, It was yummy. I know you will be totally engrossed by Bruce in this podcast. Hopefully it will inspire you to flip a coin and let go of some of the things holding you back from living the life of adventure that is waiting for you. Enjoy this incredible conversation.

I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for well over 20 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.
His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.
Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts that will transform your eating habits and your life, if you take them on board and take action. He is a knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining man who I loved talking to. I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.

Lachlan Winter is director of Abilitive Pty Ltd an NDIS registered provider for support work, support coordination and allied health services. I am also a practicing Accredited Exercise Physiologist. His passion is around the concept of physical freedom. He believes the human body is capable of so much more than almost all of us give it credit for. It is his aim to spread that belief. This message comes from Lachlan's own lived experience of many extremes from professional athlete to decrepit and bed bound with illness and to his current state of a more balanced being.
Standing at a height of 7 feet (213cm) tall, Lachlan has spend many years of his life pursuing high achievement. He chased a professional basketball career, with the goal of being the best ever. He chased control over his circumstances after being bullied at school for his height. And for well over a decade, he chased optimal wellbeing after being stuck with the debilitating Crohn's disease.
At his lowest point point, and on the edge of life, he weighed only 60kg, when the normal weight for his height was 120kg. It was a relenting and heart-breaking journey looking for answers that finally led him to letting go of his need to have all the answers. After surrendering to the help of others and trusting that all would be okay, he finally found the answers that helped him regain his health and his life. This is a compelling and passionate podcast that you do not want to miss.

I am so grateful to have come across Millicent Tuhakaraina on LinkedIn. What an amazing lady. After spending much of her childhood exposed to violence, drugs and death, just trying to survive and to protect her siblings and cousins, she is now committed to creating positive change in the world. She is particularly focused on helping young people overcome trauma and triumph over adversity (TOA).
The saying goes, it takes a community to raise a child. Milli is more concerned about who is looking after the community to ensure that it raises healthy children. After telling her story and sharing it online, she found many young people reaching out to her, asking for help. This was the catalyst for her to quit her job in the middle of the 2020 COVID pandemic and start Pasifiika TOA. Her mission with this movement is in empowering young people to know, feel and see that we value them as our emerging leaders, and supporting young people to be who they already are!!
Milli's passion will burst though your speakers as you listen to her. Her desire is that any young people or people in communities who are suffering will reach out and ask for help. She is at a very early stage in this journey and has a big vision, so any help you can offer Pasifika TOA will be gratefully accepted, even if just sharing this podcast. I am committed to helping her, and this is a conversation that every person needs to hear and a podcast you do not want to miss.

Wow! What an incredible conversation with nine time author Petrea King, who holds a special place in my heart. She is an amazing lady who my mother and father reached out to when my mum was going through her cancer journey. Petrea had a profoundly positive impact on both my parents, and was a large part of the reason my mother outlived her cancer diagnosis by 15 years. In fact, my parents helped Petrea get the Quest for Life Foundation (QFLF) off the ground back in the 1980's.
Since that time, Petrea and the team at QFLF have helped tens of thousands of people living with cancer and other life-challenging illnesses, grief, loss, trauma and tragedy. She is at the forefront of wellness education and is a frequent lecturer at medical and other conferences. Petrea sees crisis as a catalyst for personal growth and understanding and as an opportunity for healing and peace.
I sat spellbound for this entire conversation with Petrea as she spoke about many wonderful ideas to help every single person on the planet deal with the trauma and suffering that is a part of the human experience. For me, the most profound moment came when she declared that one of the main things that helped her overcome her diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia and just three months to live, was weeping the tears over the following few weeks. This is a conversation that every person needs to hear and a podcast you do not want to miss.

Both Craig and I have struggled with moving from reacting then responding to the last 12 months or so and the impact of COVID in the world and our lives.

Craig and I go back many decades and he is a great friend and former business partner of mine.

In our first three conversations, episode 2, 13 and 28 we have discussed topics and ideas to help people create a different mindset and positive change in their lives. In this episode the goal is no different, as we focus responding instead of reacting and learning to love ourselves, just as we are. In the time when many people have struggled, Craig is doing amazing things and has even hit more than 10,000 downloads per day with his podcast. I want to know how he did that, you?
He is direct, honest, inspiring, hilarious, serious, straight to the point and feisty. Let me tell you, Craig shares openly about what it takes to love yourself, no matter your flaws, and achieve whatever you want, no matter your current perception of your ability. Make no mistake, you are good enough, just the way you are. Enjoy this engaging, powerful and inspiring conversation with Craig Harper.

At the age of 21, and insecure and scared Tiffany Johnson’s adventure started in the search for self-discovery, as many young people do as a rite of passage. After leaving home at 17, going to university and falling in love with the wrong man, Tiffany was finally brave enough to leave and pursue adventure. She explored Europe in hope of finding her missing puzzle piece.
And she found it, only the day before her life would change forever.
Tiffany is a survivor from the 1999 Swiss Canyoning Disaster, where 21 young people lost their lives.
It wasn’t until she returned home that the extent of her injuries were discovered. 5 broken bones, including a broken leg, dislocation to her jaw and soft tissue damage. Through damage sustained in the flood waters, her pancreas no longer works. Tiffany is now an insulin dependent diabetic. Like many survivors of this event and others similar to it, she also struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
After months back home, she finally began to truly listen to her own inner voice. She realised that no matter how dire things seem, the human spirit can overcome anything. Her determination to live her best life, not just for herself, but for her friends that were lost has showered her in determination for their story and hers to never be forgotten.
Tiffany has shared her story on Channel 7 News, Sunrise and ABC Radio National. Her new book Brave Enough Now is on sale now at https://braveenoughnow.com/
This conversation is inspiring for many reasons. Tiffany is raw and real about her accident, and how she healed and dealt with survivors guilt and PTSD. However, this conversation goes in a direction I wasn't expecting, yet am incredibly excited about. The real story is about a scared, insecure young lady who went searching for herself, and in the process learned to accept and love herself exactly as she was.

Pietro Girgenti is a born entrepreneur. Inspired by his parents who migrated from Italy with nothing and went on to create great success in Australia, he has also that courageous and adventurous spirit. After making money selling individual sachets of microwave popcorn at the boarding school he attended, then developing property at the age of 18 with his brother, he went on to own his own law firm at the age of 24 years old.
In his years as a lawyer, he developed the passion for helping business owners with the aspects of the business they needed but didn't enjoy. Things like; law, accounting and admin. As a result, and with his creative and courageous mindset, he came up with the idea of an app that could help fitness professionals streamline their businesses, and the general public more easily find a suitable fitness partner. He founded and created the app called 'Fitii.'
This amazing app has bought Pietro and myself together to partner in our mission of creating a wave of wellness around the world, and so 'Fitii' is the new sponsor of this podcast. As we talked together, I got some gems from Pietro and his entrepreneurial mindset. The most valuable was the power of naivety, believing that anything is possible, and having the courage to give it a go. You will get lots out of this conversation.

Heather Rendulic wants to live in a world where everyone feels empowered when they face life’s challenges. She knows how hard life can get. As a young stroke and brain surgery survivor, she learned the tools needed to become an overcomer. When she’s not working as a Human Resources Professional, Heather is sharing her message of hope as a motivational speaker, mentor and author as she shares the art of finding beauty in the chaos and helping people put 'the spring in their thing!'
Put the spring in your thing! What does that mean? It means giving power and strategy to anything you want to achieve. At the age of just 31, Heather has the wisdom and perspective of a person much older. What she didn't realise for the first 22 years of her life, was that she was effectively a ticking time bomb. Inside her brain was a cavernous angioma, a lesion, that was just growing and getting ready to rupture at any time. Well, it actually happened 5 times over an 11 month period and led to a nine hour brain surgery to remove it. As she woke from the surgery, paralysed, the sight of her sister sobbing and to be married 6 months later, led Heather to say, 'Stop your sobbing, I'll be dancing at your wedding.'
Amazingly, despite all professional opinions, Heather 'put the spring in her thing,' and was dancing at her sister's wedding. In fact, her attitude and the things she did to get herself there will inspire you and motivate you beyond belief. Heather has recently published her first book, Headstrong, and on April 8/9 she and I will deliver an online session, called, 'Put the spring in your thing!'

Carol Cooke is a truly remarkable lady, with character traits that we can all hone and develop. Her courage, her persistence, her self-proclaimed stubbornness and her total expectancy that it would happen, kept her going from one setback to the next until she finally overcame her many challenges to win her first Para-Olympic gold medal for Australia in 2012. She was 50 years and it took 41 years of creating, and she now has three gold medals from two Para-Olympic games.
Carol is about to turn 60 years old and is still acting like a women many years her junior. On the verge of heading to Tokyo to compete in her third Para-Olympic games, I asked her what she expected from these games. She looked at me and said, in no uncertain terms, 'I expect to win!' It is this powerful expectancy that has helped her overcome disappointment, heartbreak, disease and time to be where she is today, and having this inspiring conversation with me.
In addition to her remarkable athletic career, she is on the verge of publishing her second book, called, 'The Force Within.' How she received a publishing contract from a traditional publisher one week after she submitted the manuscript, is unheard of. However, for Carol, it was just what she expected. If you want better results in any area of your life, then the message in this podcast is not to be missed. Enjoy my conversation with Carol Cooke.

Ossie Khan is doing amazing things. Not only does he jump out of planes on a regular basis, he helps many people face and overcome their fears to do the same thing. His 27 plus years of experience and lessons have led him to a successful career as a sky-diver, teacher, speaker and encourager, and led him to say, “Skydiving at its core is about reading situations, making decisions and being accountable for your actions."
When he declared that he had done over 10,000 jumps and never once broken a bone, I was interested. He explains that the reason why is because he is always focussed on and committed to the preparation and process required to get everything done properly, even if it takes longer than he would like. Ossie says that when you follow the process, hitting the drop-zone safely and successfully is a predictable outcome.
The drop-zone is a metaphor for any or all of the things you want to successfully experience and achieve in your life. In this discussion, Ossie and I talk about the power of process, accountability and moving through fear if hitting the drop-zone in any area is a goal. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.

Peter Chambers is an inspiring Aussie who, whilst living with the incurable Motor Neurone Disease, has found a reason to be and is living a wonderful life. From deep within he has found peace in the storm and purpose in his adversity and is now on a mission to make the most of every second, enjoy the simple things in life and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
Peter's first symptoms in late 2017 to early 2018 led to a spinal fusion operation in May 2018. After the operation, his shoulders lost muscle rapidly and, whilst he gradually regained some use in his left arm, his left hand was severely weakened and he has never regained any more than about 10% of movement in his right arm. Neurologists, at the end of 2019, finally agreed the diagnosis was MND. He was diagnosed the Arm Flail version of MND, which lead to his arms losing all muscle first, then other muscles to follow.
Rather than fall into victim mode, Peter chose to find the positives in his situation, to live and love every moment and to fuel his purpose. He now devotes his time and energy to helping promote awareness of the disease and to be a voice of advocacy. I love his attitude towards life and Peter Chambers is a man who will touch your heart and your life. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.
Peter can contacted via his email or through LinkedIn.

I have known Natalie Matthews for more than five years, and the thing that stood out to me most, when I met for the first time, was the confidence this lady exuded as she towered above most people in her six foot three inch body and her three-four inch heels! She has always loved her height and the resulting benefits she has experienced in her life. The only challenge for her, and for many tall women, was finding beautiful clothes to wear, hence she began her fashion business, Height of Fashion.
I speak again to Natalie after a wonderful conversation in Episode 19 called 'Embrace your uniqueness.' More than 7 months later, despite her own COVID related adversity which has separated her and restricted her from being with her family in the UK, she has a very powerful message. It's been a tough time for Natalie, however, she has some powerful perspective which can help anyone going through a challenging time, or wanting to live their best life.
Natalie shares ideas about how to find the purpose that we are all put on this planet for, and she talks in detail and with great passion about the hidden benefits that can be found in every challenge, if we choose to look for them. Whilst I wasn't sure where this conversation would go when we began talking, I am excited about the result and I know this podcast will have a positive effect on your life.
Natalie can be found on her website at www.height-of-fashion.com and on Instagram at thetallceo and height.of.fashion.

I first saw Tracey Jewel on the reality show, 'Married at First Sight' back in 2018 where she really impressed me with the way she handled herself with an ongoing barrage of traumatic experiences on the show. It was then a random meeting where Tracey and I actually met for the first time, and after that, I was even more impressed with this inspiring lady
At that time I didn't know that she was already a successful author, speaker and coach who helped empower people to live their best lives. So, Tracey and I started running some events together, but the wheels started falling off Tracey's wagon, as she wasn't expecting the relentless and hateful fallout she would experience on social media from her time on television. It was this horrific and inexcusable bullying that left Tracey feeling helpless and spiralling to the point where taking her own life seemed to be the only way out.
The great news is that Tracey is a resilient and courageous lady who picked herself up, dusted herself off and has gone onto rebuild herself and her life. In this conversation with Tracey, I invented a new word, as I described her journey as going from survival to thrival. If you would like to know how to 'thrival' in your own life, then this is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.
Tracey can be found on her website and followed and contacted on his Instagram page

I first saw Tim Robards on the reality show, 'The Bachelor' back in 2013 where he really impressed me with his approach to the show, and the ladies on the show. It's no surprise he met and married his wife, Anna, on that show and they had recently had their first child. It was a random meeting at Melbourne airport where I first met him and Anna, and I was very grateful for their openness to chat.
Tim has a background as a chiropractor, but his passion was always to be an actor. His story of dreaming, working and getting way out of his comfort zone has helped him create an incredible life of passion and purpose. In addition to his appearance on 'The Bachelor', he has competed on 'Australian Ninja Warrior', acted in many TV commercials and finally, after 15 years, got his opportunity to act on the very popular TV serial, 'Neighbours.'
I love his attitude towards success. It's about having a go at things, even if they scare you. He made it a habit of getting out of his comfort zone time after time, starting when he was child who was influenced by his grandmother to hug trees! What I got most out of this chat with Tim is that amazing opportunities and a great life lies beyond the comfort zone. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.

Laura Hingston is an Australian 10m platform diver on a world stage and aspiring for her first Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021, but that was not always the case. As a determined 5 year old, Laura finally convinced her parents after 3 years of asking, to let her learn gymnastics. Very quickly, with incredible focus, she became an elite gymnast, but the young Victorian transferred through the VIS to Diving, after having career ending back surgery. Now, she is a member of the National Team and competes in both the 10m Individual and Synchronised events on the world stage
With the same passion she gave to her gymnastics, she took to diving and found herself diving off the 10m platform at a world class level. Now with her eyes firmly set on the Tokyo Olympics, she is doing amazing things. I have had this conversation with her at a time when she is in the zone and totally focused on her dream. As a result, the pearls of wisdom that come out of the mouth of a 25-year-old will amaze you.
From thinking big, to goal setting, to persistence, to overcoming fear, to resilience and to my favourite quote of hers, controlling the controllables, this is a conversation full of inspiration for everyone, no matter their age or aspirations in life. In addition to her diving, Laura is very open to share her thoughts and help anyone wanting to live their very best life. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.

Deborah Stathis was a normal, happy and optimistic 19-year-old, when the car she was driving hit a slippery part of the highway, slid out of control and wrapped itself around a telegraph pole, crushing her on the inside. There were no airbags in the car, so Deb sustained life-altering injuries to her face, her eyes and her brain. Medical professionals stated that she would never be the same and would be affected, physically and mentally, for the rest of her life. Deb did not accept that diagnosis.
The definining moment came for Deb whilst alone in her room in the rehab centre. She decided to look at the thing she had been protected from for many weeks... her face. She looked at the devastating injuries, she cried and she said to herself, "You're here now, what are you going to do?" What she did will amaze and inspire you as she went on to transform and reconstruct her face, her body and her life.
It was the fear she experienced when she thought about a permanently affected life that enabled her to harness the power of a relentless determination that moved her into positive action. This emotion and action continued until she had beaten every medical odd and recreated the Deborah Stathis she wanted to be. Having proved opportunities can be created from tragedy, Deborah shares how, by harnessing the power of emotion, anything is possible. Trust me when I say, this is a podcast and a conversation that will change your life.

Heather Rendulic wants to live in a world where everyone feels empowered when they face life’s challenges. She knows how hard life can get. As a young stroke and brain surgery survivor, she learned the tools needed to become an overcomer. When she’s not working as a Human Resources Professional, Heather is sharing her message of hope as a motivational speaker, mentor and author as she shares the art of finding beauty in the chaos.
At the age of just 31, Heather has the wisdom and perspective of a person much older. What she didn't realise for the first 22 years of her life, was that she was effectively a ticking time bomb. Inside her brain was a cavernous angioma, a lesion, that was just growing and getting ready to rupture at any time. Well, it actually happened 5 times over an 11 month period and led to a nine hour brain surgery to remove it. As she woke from the surgery, paralysed, the sight of her sister sobbing and to be married 6 months later, led Heather to say, 'Stop your sobbing, I'll be dancing at your wedding.'
Amazingly, despite all professional opinions, Heather was dancing at her sister's wedding. In fact, her attitude and the things she did to get herself there will inspire you and motivate you beyond belief. Heather has just published her first book, Headstrong, and is now on the verge of having an even greater impact on many people, all around the world. Enjoy my wonderful conversation with Heather Rendulic.

I met Morgan Beard through Fernando Parnes, founder of BestBeing and sponsor of this podcast. Morgan and I spoke in podcast #10, called Getting through the mud and the muck. I was immediately impressed, engaged and inspired by this 30 year old dynamo. Listening to her wisdom, you would certainly not expect someone so young in years.
As you listen to Morgan's maturity, it's hard to imagine she has been through so much torment, torture, suffering, depression and suicidal thoughts as she has. She gets raw and vulnerable as she talks about some of the ups and downs of 2020 and the impact of COVID on herself and her clients. As a talented musician, when she finally gave herself permission to enjoy this pursuit, the transformation was incredible. Behind the music was a fearful lady, but that same music helped her move through the darkness and into the light. Morgan is now really making a difference in many lives.
I threw a challenge at Morgan for this podcast. That was to write and sing a song that would show people the power music has to help deal with the dark places we sometimes find ourselves in. What Morgan shares, what she overcome and how she delivers it will delight and inspire you. I say it every week, but honestly, this is a podcast you do not want to miss.

As a nine year old, a skeptical Matthew Law had his first interaction with God in the way of a recurring dream. as a fifteen year old, the miracle occurred that took him down the path that had led to the life of a pastor at the Doncaster City Church. It's actually a pretty cool story.
Matt has a heart for people, is passionate about making a difference and is committed to the difference a relationship with God can have in people's lives. Since becoming a Christian myself, I have noticed positive change in every area of my life and this conversation with Matt is one I want to encourage everyone to hear, whether Christian or not.
If you feel something is missing, are looking for some answers, are feeling unfulfilled, are dealing with any stress, anxiety, fear or shame, or just want to live your best life, the power of faith cannot be ignored. I hope you will listen to this conversation with an open-mind and an open-heart and do whatever you are moved to do as a result.

Amanda Webster suffered trauma after trauma in her younger years which led to some serious mindset and emotional challenges. Years of therapy, prescriptions, journaling, Yoga and self-help books still left her struggling with unmanageable clinical depression that she masked with drugs, alcohol and self-harm. It got to the point where she stood on the window ledge of a foreign hotel room, ready to end her life. Fate stepped in, by way of a song, and moved her to step off that ledge and choose to give life and happiness one more chance.
It took a careful and mindful combination of nutrition, fitness and lifestyle changes, but she overcame depression and suicide on her own terms. She found the answers to help her choose happiness, despite the tragedy in her life, and consequently she went on to develop her five puzzle pieces to boost happiness. She has helped countless others make sustainable changes that have drastically improved their mental and physical health and, thus, their lives.

Derrick Kirk was born into a disadvantaged family in the USA. He was not eating every day and, at six years old, he was removed from his mother's care and placed into an orphanage. He stayed there until they could legally longer keep him, and at 18 years old he was given some money and dropped into the world to fend for himself. Ill-equipped to do so, Derrick very quickly found himself homeless.
His challenges began very early in life and continued throughout. But he learned that sometimes a wrong turn actually sets you on the right path. For a myriad of reasons, growing up in an orphanage was the best thing that ever happened to him.

I just knew, before the conversation started, it was going to be a powerful and profound conversation. Both Craig and I have struggled with an unhealthy relationship with food and eating, in two very different ways. In this podcast we get raw and real and discuss how to build a positive relationship with eating and make the consumption of all types of wonderful food, the pleasurable and energy giving pastime it should be.
Craig and I go back many decades and he is a great friend and former business partner of mine. He is an powerful speaker, author, radio presenter and host of globally acclaimed the 'You Project' podcast. In our first two conversations, episode 2 and 13, have discussed topics and ideas to help people create a different mindset and positive change in their lives. In this episode the goal is no different, as we focus on eating. Craig says, 'Despite what we may believe, it's not about the food, it's about our thinking.'
He is direct, honest, inspiring, hilarious, serious, straight to the point and feisty. Let me tell you, Craig pulled Warren the rabbit out of his hat, and you will definetly want to listen all the way through to find what that is all about.

From a young age and with the DNA to achieve, Nick Bracks pushed his body and mind to the limit. At the age of 11, he was training 5 or 6 hour per day, in secret, as he aspired to be the best of the best in the sporting world. This constant need to compare, compete, drive and push himself led him to anxiety, depression and ultimately alcohol related issues. He knew that if something didn't change, his life would be cut short. So, with the support of his parents and trained professionals, Nick began to work through his issues.
He says; "Really, my whole 20s were about trying things, failing, learning and searching for what I wanted to do with the rest of my life… that came with a lot of turmoil, but if I hadn’t gone and tried so many things and made mistakes I wouldn’t have found the things I am passionate about, I wouldn’t have found the path I am on now."
Nick has now found his purpose and spends his time advocating for mind wellness. Nick’s passion for changing mindsets, and finding the good in every situation, has led him to conversations with CEOs, school kids – anyone willing to listen – advocating for the cause closest to his heart: mental health awareness. His podcast, Move Your mind, is having a powerful impact and he is an in-demand speaker all around the world. You will be totally inspired by this conversation, so enjoy...

By her own admission, Alaina Schwartz was earning a high six-figure income as a lawyer in the brutally competitive music industry. From an external viewpoint, it would seem that she was living a dream life. She had money, status and profile, but she was miserable. She was not living her truth and the stress of this lie was reaping havoc on her physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, leading her to significant dis-ease.
As a result, her life spiralled. Her marriage ended, her health suffered and her strong financial position dissolved into debt. When Alaina finally realised she needed to shift her paradigm, things started to change for the better. She mastered many mindset tools that radically changed her life. In the process, she realised that she was creating her own suffering, and that she also had the power to end that suffering and live an extraordinary life.
She stopped chasing more as the answer to feeling satisfied and happy. She began again, this time very intentionally, to rewire her brain and clear the blocks and doubts that were standing in the way of having the life she truly desired. In this conversation with Alaina, she is real and raw and has a message that we all need to hear if we want to shift our own limiting paradigms and live an extraordinary life.

He worked in the health and fitness industry for over 25 years, presenting to more than half a million people in 55 countries on behalf of companies and sponsors including Nike. Regardless of his achievements, he had recurring questions about what life was going to be like for him at 50, or even 60 and beyond. What would his future look like?
Greg’s not sure what happened when he turned 40. It wasn’t a mid-life crisis, because there was no crisis, he just thought, “enough”. He’d had enough knowing that the upcoming year was going to be a carbon copy of the last. He knew his life was good, but he wanted phenomenal. If the next 40 years were going to be different, his cage needed some serious rattling.
In the spirit of “enough”, he hacked his status quo. He literally turned his life upside down. After moving back to Sydney following 17 years in London, Greg studied coaching, leadership and mentoring, focusing on neuroscience, positive psychology and NLP. He took everything he had learnt from his work, travels and the extraordinary people he’d met and decided to act. His speaking, workshops, coaching and programs are the result.
In this conversation with Greg, he is real and raw and has amessage that we all need to hear if we want a better life and hack our current status quo. Enjoy Greg Sellar...

The moment I started my conversation with Carol Cooke, I knew it was going to be an inspiring and compelling one. Her courage, her persistence, and her self-proclaimed stubbornness kept her going from one setback to the next until she finally overcame her many challenges to win her first para-olympic gold medal for Australia in 2012 after 41 years of trying, at the age of 50 years.
Starting with a dream to be a gymnast at the age of 9, she was told she could never make it happen. As a swimmer, she set the goal for the Moscow Olympics in 1980, when Canada and much of the world boycotted those games. Moving to Australia, being diagnosed with MS and told that she would never compete as an athlete again. The courage to get up and find rowing, but was unable to make it to the Olympics in that sport, Then finally, with no experience on a bike, she finally made her dreams come true in the 2012 para-olympics.
Carol is the most inspiring example of the power of inner strength I have ever met. Her attitude, as she navigated the challenges in her life, over 41 years to achieve the external gold medal, is a testament to the inner gold that she tapped into and drew strength from, day after day after day. She is humble, passionate, engaging, hilarious and inspiring and this is a podcast you do not want to miss.

I met Brad McEwan when he was in his 20's and just starting out in his media career. He was a fresh faced kid working on radio, and became a personal training client of mine back in 1999. The first time I met him, I knew he was destined for big things, and we have been good friends ever since, as I watched him rise through the ranks to become a well-known and much-loved Australian media personality.
Like everyone, Brad has faced challenges in life and he has faced them with a wonderful attitude and decision, no matter the circumstances, to find the positive and treat people with kindness. His initial experience with mental health trauma happened when he tragically lost both his Dad and his brother to suicide. As the demands of a fulltime media career started to take their toll, Brad decided to take a leap of faith and totally change his direction to be at a place, right now, where he is loving life and living on-purpose.
Brad is a great story teller and, with passion and enthusiasm, talks about the experiences of his journey that have led him to this point where he can say, with no fear of contradiction, that if living a happy and healthy life of joyful longevity is the goal, kindness really does matter.

I met Morgan Beard very recently through Fernando Parnes, founder of BestBeing and sponsor of this podcast. Morgan I chatted, we spoke together on a wellness panel and I was immediately impressed and engaged by this 30 years old dynamo. Listening to her wisdom, you would certainly not expect someone so young in years.

She gets raw and vulnerable as she tells the story of how she plummeted into such a dark place. You will be inspired beyond belief as she tells how show dragged herself out of, as she describes it, the mud and the muck, to the place of abundance, joy, success and gratitude she finds herself today.
If you are a parent, you really need to listen to this podcast. If you are someone suffering, or know someone suffering, from depression or dark thoughts you need to listen to this podcast.

Lindsay speaks with a rawness and vulnerability that is inspiring. It's this honesty that she credits for her ability to overcome so much adversity in her life, and help keep her optimistic. It's helping her and her husband as they current face another challenge in their attempt to become parents. Enjoy my captivating conversation with Lindsay Johnson.
