Pissedoffedness

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 06:16:22 +0000

Pissedoffedness - a word I can't use on the air with Luke for obvious reasons, but it really fits how we feel sometimes.

I think anger is a good thing - it drives action. But how we release it that matters. t

Progress

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:28:46 +0000

Did you know authors only use chapters as a way of helping the reader digest the information? But chapters are a nice way of breaking things up, hoping us segment events.

Today Like and I talk about the value in seeing our life like this, and understanding you can't start a new chapter if you keep rereading the last one.

Victimhood

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 06:12:01 +0000

It's so easy when something happens to us, to land in this comfy place of what I explain to Luke I call Victomhood.

The world will embrace you.

But are you growing? Wouldn't you rather become a survivor?

What is grief?

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:21:41 +0000

When talking to Luke about grief it became apparent our language plays a huge part in how we see it. Grief is part of life. It is a human emotion we are equipped to deal with, we can DO it!

You Must Go Through It

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 06:01:00 +0000

Go through t, not over it or around it. This is the path to recovery.

Rock Bottom

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 05:43:03 +0000

Never thought this would be me but when it happened it suddenly was. What next?

Luke and I talk about the good news. You and climb out, you will climb out - getting the right advice is key.

Resilience is built in the trauma

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:12:03 +0000

Luke and I share something interesting.

We both get how going through the trauma, despite how challenging it may be - is when you grow.

Do the work

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:06:58 +0000

Today Luke and I talk about the value of doing the work, not just hoping time will heal all wounds.

Savour Something

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 21:03:00 +0000

Being interviewed by Luke is more than fun, he manages to extract some pretty cool info. In this interview we both talk about learning to savour something again, appreciating the small things and being in the moment.

Overcoming Grief

Tue, 11 Aug 2020 01:41:45 +0000

I had the pleasure of speaking with Luke and Susie from Light FM. Here is a recording of the interview as aired via their radio station.

LIGHT FM -

On the podcast today we are speaking with an amazing lady, author and speaker, Debra Pascoe.

Debra threw herself into writing during the first lockdown in April. And as she received the first printed copies of her book, Melbourne went into its second round of lockdown.

Now, as Melburnians face each new day with anxiety and uncertainty, Debra Pascoe wants to share how she “kept her head above water” in 2014 when she experienced loss on an unimaginable scale. Her husband survived a heart attack, they celebrated the purchase of their dream home, he revealed his infidelity, then took his life – all within a space of 4 months. That was 6 years ago but her fluctuating emotions during COVID felt strangely familiar because as she explains, “grief is grief, no matter what the loss.”

Time helps, but healing requires you to do the work. The work she did – from mindset to coffee, from writing lists to studying fiduciary duty, from boxing to food, from comedy to music – helped her heal in stages. To finally live again.

We’ll chat to her about her new book, VIVE! as she will share her story of recovery, to give others hope and promise, in a difficult time.

I trust my lawyer with Sharelle Staff

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 01:56:03 +0000

Everyone says 'the lawyers make all the money' and are only there for that reason. Supposedly they are not to be trusted. I can attest to the fact this is not always true. Sometimes, they actually have your best interests at heart, and are there to fight for you when you can't. Sharelle Staff from Scanlan Carroll is a living testament of this.

PT and Life Saver with Chris Koulatsos

Thu, 17 Feb 2022 01:50:25 +0000

When someone mentioned a PT to me, I imagined myself pulling a tractor tire down the beach and nearly vomited at the thought. Having worked with Chris for 6 years now, and over 1000 sessions later I can tell you it's NOT that if you find the right one. They can change your life.

Ep. 116 - Who Do You Trust?

Thu, 12 May 2022 22:34:56 +0000

He did this, she did that. Your walls go up. Lack of trust. You become suspicious, worried and stressed. Who can you trust?

Game changer - yourself. Your intuition, that inner voice screaming at you that we often ignore.

Others? Forget it. Trust yourself and the rest will fall miraculously into place.

Ep. 114 - Depression or Sadness?

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 00:00:30 +0000

In a world where we label everything, it seems the politically correct thing to do is label our feelings, often as health issues, rather than pure human emotion. Depression has become the label for feeling down, but perhaps it isn't always a syndrome - maybe it's sadness - something as humans we can manage.
