Identity Crisis
Who am I without the pain? What's life like when I'm not suffering? What's it like to be deserving of the good life? I was so used to identifying with pain and suffering that when the time came to shift out of that belief system, I went through an identity crisis. I wasn't used to feeling good or being in control of my life. Wandering in unknown territory, slowly, slowly I began to dismantle entrenched limiting beliefs and began the practice of creating my life whilst dying to who I no longer was. Support the show

How To Converse With Kids About The Ego
My youngest step-daughter confides a lot in me and one day she was telling me about a daydream (when her mind wanders off and she thinks "bad" things). Her daydream had her believe that the guest speaker talking at the front of the class was bad, which led her to treat him differently and stay away from him. When she told me this I thought, "shit, how can I help her see the difference between false reality and actual reality?" That question created an idea to share about the "dark voice" and the "light voice" inside of us. This idea has now become a framework for her to come back to when she's acting in ways that don't feel good or that impact others. It's a game-changer. Support the show

Moving Through The Discomfort
It's too easy right now to stay quiet for fear of getting it wrong. I am challenging myself to stay open, to show up and educate myself to serve the end result of normalising equality. And the topic of global interest is it's not enough to be "not racist". The game has changed to become antiracist. In today's episode I share where I'm at on that journey (the beginning) to help feel less alone who are falling silent or feeling helpless.Support the show

Giving Up Was Never An Option
I was waiting for my family to come over to celebrate my 12th birthday. My parents were quiet and seemed concerned. My family arrived late and it was less than a celebratory vibe. My brother had just been admitted to hospital for a skin condition that was taking over his body, and life. To be frank, it looked like someone had blowtorched his body, head to toe, leaving one a small ring of his natural skin around his eyes. It was fkd to say the least. After being told his condition was incurable, my brother went on one long ass journey, battling his own mind and the seemingly finite diagnosis from the medical profession. But that finite diagnosis wasn't good enough for him and never gave up on finding the solution he was after.Here is his journey of overcoming what the medical profession deemed impossible.Matt John : anatomy.studiosWebsite : anatomystudios.com.auSupport the show

Ask Empowering Questions
When my limited thinking gets in the way, I will ask limiting and disempowering questions that lead me to feeling shit about myself pretty quickly. Over the years I have learned and trained myself to shift my focus in many ways. One way is to ask empowering and re-orientating questions that take me out of egoic small talk and back into my true essence. This one is a goodie if you freak out before dates, job interviews, asking for pay rises, etc and I've added in a little medi at the end for you to enjoy.Support the show

Sneaky Sneaky Ego
What a whirlwind the last 48 hours have been. Steve's ego took us all on one epic goose chase over the weekend. Out of the blue he had us booked in to look at housing inspections, telling the girls about these new places with more space, doing an ace job at selling us all on why we should move. But my intuitive spidey webs were going off and after letting him toe the line for some-time, I took him for a long walk at 9PM to share truth he really (really) needed to hear. Enjoy this one, as it is an honest share of how sneaky that darn ego is.Support the show

Honour What Matters To You
I've had a lot of convos of late with clients, friends and also eavesdropped on a few when getting my decaf coconut latte, regarding what discoveries they have come to during COVID-19. A client of mine has discovered the beauty of knowing herself after being in relationship after relationship. Another has realised she loves waking up and starting her day on terms after rushing around like a mad-woman to get to work. I've discovered being more adaptable when it comes to my home after being rigid and controlling. Now that question is how do you honour these new discoveries moving forward?Support the show

When You're Focused On Shit, Expect Shit
Ugh, my ego has been such a drainer lately, focusing on attacking my physical appearance. When I have space for myself and I'm not working on the business, my ego starts picking on my body and how shit it is. I then go about comparing the me now, to me 10 years ago, then move onto comparing myself to others. It's been real shit and I had to pull myself up to quit making myself suffer. Support the show

What It Takes To Connect Into Your Superconscious
Intuition on demand is a thing! It's easy to think you have to be in the "right mindset" or "mood" to be intuitive, however that's conditional thinking and often born out of the ego. Intuition when you want it and need it can be available to you, not just randomly or when you least expect it.Support the show
