The Full Stop

Alternative Approaches to Resolutions


Listen Later

Welcome to the 70th episode of the Full Stop Podcast! We’re joined by returning guests Bindi Shah and Lisa Kissane, alongside co-hosts Berenice and Michael Hughes, for an inspiring conversation about setting intentions, goals, and how we navigate life as childless individuals.

What We Discuss:
  • Gentle Intentions vs. Rigid Goals:

    Lisa and Bindi contrast the pressures of goal-setting with the more flexible, empowering practice of setting intentions.

  • Writing as Healing:

    Writing plays a pivotal role in self-expression and healing. From Bindi’s poetry to Lisa’s intention to write her first novel, we explore how creativity can unlock personal growth.

  • Adapting to Life Challenges:

    How can we be kind to ourselves in the face of life’s challenges? Michael opens up about family dynamics and the importance of taking life’s reins, while Bindi highlights the transformative power of meditation.

  • Seasons of Change:

    We discuss how the rhythm of the seasons—especially spring—can offer renewal and inspiration.

  • Creating Safe Spaces:

    Lisa shares her intentions for “Flow,” her unique business community for childless and child-free individuals, providing a supportive environment away from parent-centric norms.

    Contact Lisa on Instagram, LinkedIn and via her website for Really Honest Business and Flow.

    Contact Bindi though her website and on her Youtube Channel: Soul Wisdom. Read her World Childless writing on adoption bias and watch her WCW webinar.
