Always With Me

In this episode, Fiona Redding sits down with Gillian Viljoen, Personal Freedom Coach - helping people to navigate change and create a life they love to live.

Her passion, purpose and calling is to inspire courage and contribute as she can to the collective human experience as a writer and guide. 

As a multi passionate person with two professions, an engineer and a life coach, as well as being a traveller, writer and eternal student, Gillian walks in many different worlds and believes we can really live our lives as we create it and it’s  never too late to create change in life and to make it one that suits our own unique selves.

Gillian shares her own journey of leaving a long-term relationship, switching careers, and learning to trust her intuition. This conversation is full of insights on how to integrate wisdom with confidence and how to navigate life’s unexpected turns with grace and courage.

Key Takeaways:

1. Confidence in Midlife:

   - Gillian talks about how many people lose confidence as they age, even as they gain wisdom. She encourages listeners to shift their perspective and see midlife as a time for growth and new opportunities.

2. Balancing Structure and Intuition:

   - Coming from a background in engineering, Gillian shares how she learned to balance structure with intuition in her personal and professional life.

3. Create visions but release rigid control and expectations: 

   - Gillian introduces the idea of grieving the future she thought she’d have and learning to embrace the one we’re living now.

4. It’s Never To Late: 

- Don’t like where you’re at or how things are going? Reinvent yourself, your potential for growth remains ever-present, the opportunities are always there waiting for us to seek them.

In this episode of the 'Always With Me' podcast, host Fiona Redding reconnects with an old friend, Kerri Gravina. 

Kerri holds roles in learning and development at a dual-sector university and an ACCO, advising organisations and staff on enhancing their workforce capabilities. She also has a private practice focused on helping individuals and organisations discover their purpose, or their 'why.’ 

Fiona and Kerri go into themes of faith, purpose, and spiritual growth, exploring how these have influenced their personal journeys. They emphasise the importance of human connections, the power of self-belief, and the synchronicities that guide us through life.

They touch on many topics, from the importance of truly listening in conversation, how having strong values shapes us and our lives, to how reflecting on our own journey as we evolve is what leads to further growth and deeper understanding.

Lisa is known for pouring her soul into every aspect of her work and life. Her love for people and seeing them realize their dreams and full potential has led her to the coaching and real estate industries over the past two decades.

In this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Frances Pratt, sharing her experience of coming back to Christianity after moving away from it when she left home, through exploring different paths during her 20's and 30's, and what inspired her to make the decision in her mid 40's to return to the church.

This is an interesting conversation, because while Frances made that decision, her husband did not (and they are still happily married).

Some of the points we talked about:

• 
  
• Communication and conversations with loved ones who share different beliefs and how it affects family dynamics
• 
  
• 
  
• Delving into her personal journey back to Christianity after realising the significance of faith in her life and the desire to introduce her kids to Jesus and core Christian values.
• 
  
• 
  
• Being part of a church community and personal growth and the importance of finding the right church community where one feels safe, connected, and spiritually nourished.
• 
  
• 
  
• Embracing imperfections and acknowledging mistakes as part of the human experience, and what it is to know the unconditional love of God
• 
  

I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Brad Yates, known internationally for his creative and often humorous use of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), joins us for this episode to share with us what we can do when we are in the midst of a challenge in life, what hope with substance looks like - and the importance of having hope, taking action and maintaining a positive outlook through all of life's experiences.

How acts of faith, builds on faith, even in challenging times.

Reflecting on gratitude as a transformative practice and source of strength, and how being grateful during the tough times creates the space for being grateful in the great times.

Practicing self-compassion and self-love especially during difficult situations.

How being proactive and taking action builds resilience and trust and confidence in yourself.

Giving yourself permission to be imperfect.

Integrating self-care and healing techniques like tapping, meditation, and self-care practices for overall well-being.

The incredible power of connection with others to help us feel better.

What being consciously conscious of living in the present moment feels like, what it is to be present, making peace with the past and recognising that all we can control is how we handle things right now - letting go of the need to control.

Remembering to remember.
