The season that was, everything I pushed out for the last 2 years in this arena I am currently doubling down on in this current time.  This is raw, vulnerable and the most important episode to date.  I dedicate this to my teacher, elder and grandfather Djayarla Dulumunmun-  “We have to give it away to keep it”  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

The good, the bad and the ugly, it matters most when we show up and be true.  Showing up for someone is sometimes as simple as a text message to connect, be someone's ears when they need it or guiding a group through adversity in challenging times.  This episode is dedicated to all of you who have felt the pressure, duress and hardships of recent times. Take a moment to take some of these reflections onboard, some might work out for you some won’t, but the key is to just try each and every day to be a better version of you.  Take care and I appreciate you all!  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Bringing in acts of kindness to society that really needs it right now, is a way we can transition back to reasonable functionality. Whether it is for self, for close ones or for the greater community, this powerful way of showing compassion and good will. Is what is needed in a world engulfed with fear and uncertainty.  What act of kindness can you show right now?  Remember it is ultra important to look at acts of kindness for yourself, forgiveness for past happenings , taking life a little seriously or just stopping and celebrating you for being you! Again if I can add something to your approach to life out of this, then I am happy and content.  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

We can all resonate with this in one way or another throughout our journey of life. This is one of the core terms I talk to when it comes to accepting what feeling, experience, situation, space or group we find ourselves in. It’s not always going to be in your comfort zone.  Nor should it, we cannot have it all ourway. If you have heard the saying ‘ I can’t have my cake and eat it too?’ That could happen, you could well get that full cake and scorf it all down for yourself. That would be satisfying right? Well I know you know that isn’t sustainable or even realistic, at some points in different situations and times we find ourselves in. We soon realise that we have to be able to be comfortable in the uncomfortable.  Not for everyone, but I hope you can grab some of this narrative to embed into yours.   Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Carving the time out for yourself, when is the last time you did that? The integral core pillar for holistic wellness in mind, body and spirit, the time to do something just for you. It doesn’t matter too much what that is, a walk in nature, a swim, reading a book or just breathing and being present.  I divulge some key concepts of my own journey of self care, but it is just as important for you to search, reconnect or continue the internal work you do for you to be a better version of yourself.  Make the commitment to do something that gives you purpose and fulfilment, at least 20 minutes of the day or 2 hours if you can. It all helps and grounds us back into feeling some enjoyment and working on being kind to ourselves once again.  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Can you rise above to really see the situation from all angles?  Today I take on the beastly last few months of what has been my lens of life throughout the recent lockdowns in the country they call Australia. If we can try our best to vibrate higher, along with using that time to grow and adapt then that is all very useful for us. An inward look at the learnings and reflections we’ve experienced can go a long way to making us better versions of ourselves and our journey’s in life.    Just taking a zoomed out view of it all, especially in these times of uncertainty just helps even if it is only subtly.  I hope you enjoy my deep dive into it all, hold on it’s a little rocky but I hope there is something there for you to take.

This one is an epic tale of a man who walks the walk for the greater good!  Josh has an uncanny resemblance to my journey of identity, that was a moment we both bounced off with this yarn.  The energy, focus and application of this man is incredible, traveling to communities sharing leadership, positivity, fun, culture and of course wellness. Josh has also put in the hard yards in immersing himself into the good powers of Bush medicine & nutrition.  I really enjoyed connecting with this brother, we had a lot in common and I look forward to getting some hard yards and walking country with him again soon.  You can check out all the amazing work Josh and his team do on https://blackfit.com.au/                           IG  https://www.instagram.com/blackfitfitness/  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Identity II  Who do you think you are? Take a moment and sit with that, do you know where your values sit? When we dive into our identity of searching within ourselves it  takes courage, time and growth.  My inner child is a deep wound within myself that carries a powerful trauma, but at the same time that inner child is a hero that demonstrates strength, determination and leadership. I often reflect on the child version of myself to help feel the pain, playfulness and energy of who I once was. I haven’t lost that, it will always stay within me. Honour, cherish and celebrate that inner child as he/she is now a central essence of who you are, good, bad or ugly. Take some time with this one and reach out to someone for a yarn if you feel you need to.  Take care  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Perspective of the otherside, the situation , the conversation or viewpoint. All of this needs to be taken into account to ensure we can make a considered decision or action.  Never easy, especially in times like the present with the societal change that is occurring for us all.  The virtue of perspective again is being in compromise, uncertainty or uncomfortable feelings, can you journey to the other side of the equation to see it from a different angle?  I take on a few aspects of what has helped me get through these difficult times, but just ensure you can take the key messages of positive learnings or reflections of it all to consider.       Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Ethan’s story is one to savor when it comes to turning 180 degrees to get back on track.  Listen for the pinnacle moment, it comes true and deep to the core. It is a moment that many ignore, dismiss or turn away from due to the unknown and having to have the toughest view of all looking at self.  Now helping other men on the road to recovery, Ethan is mobilising healing journeys and creating pathways for better social emotional wellbeing outcomes by sharing his life experience. This is ultra powerful as it comes from a place of understanding the real struggle of the work on self.  Taking a look into the accountability mirror each and everyday helps us be inline with our truth and how we approach life. This application to life also comes in handy when running marathons, we share our journey of long distance running and achieved our first 42.2km in the same week.       Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..

Acceptance right now may be really hard to find some perspective around, I feel ya and so many others too.  Left, right or somewhere in between where are you sitting? Remember it’s ok to question things internally in order to find a space of medium neutrality.  So much black and white, this and that or you versus us is not good for us. Looking for balance in a current time of severe imbalance and bias is not comfortable to many. Despite the obvious, we should do whatever we can to connect and listen to the natural laws and be sovereign, humble and find an understanding within ourselves. Once that is done, we can move forward to connect through impartiality but still stand in our truth whilst maintaining respect for one another  Don’t forget to subscribe and please leave a review..
