Auscast Inspiration

It’s a universal reality that at some point in our lives, we all assume the role of caregivers. It’s a responsibility that can range from intermittent to intensely demanding.

Kate Washington shares her personal story of caring for her seriously ill husband who was diagnosed with a rate form of lymphoma. Their once normal existence was disrupted and Kate’s role as a mother and freelance writer transformed into that of a full-time caregiver.

For those that missed the recent Facebook Live chat I had with the hilarious Aaron Gocs here's the edited version in full.

We spoke about Gocsy's comedy journey so far, the challenges that he has had to overcome throughout his life, the big Div 12 Ressies game that he was a part of and went beyond all expectations and what's happening for the rest of the year for Gocsy.

Thanks so much to Gocsy for his time, to Peter Oldfield from Southern Slugs Football Club for sponsoring the episode and for their continued support and to the team at PodBooth for putting this great video together.

It’s a common concern for parents feeling like their child doesn’t fit in or is just too different. There could be a problem. But when we dig deeper into that idea the disconnect is often more about a clash of personalities between the child and the parents, rather than an inherent issue.

In this episode, Kate, a skilled personality coach, sheds light into understanding and bridging the gap between parents and their unique children.

I was delighted to be joined earlier this year by good mate and comedian Jarryd Goundrey on Comedy Legends with Bevo.

Jarryd is going from strength to strength and performing with some of the world's best comedians.

Jarryd spoke about the financial challenges that came with being a stand-up comedian and why it's not easy, why going viral on social media isn't as good as what you think and Jarryd also shared a lovely story about the power of the community.

Jarryd is currently travelling around Australia doing gigs, give him a follow Jarryd Goundrey on Instagram to find out more.

Thanks so much to Jarryd for his time, to Pistol Peter Oldfield from Southern Slugs Football Club for sponsoring this episode and the fantastic team at PodBooth for putting this great video together.

We discuss essential elements that will empower them for life after they leave home and identify the ONE THING they need as a crucial prerequisite for success in our ever-changing and complex world.

Wimbledon is well and truly in full swing so to keep in the theme of things I had a chat with Australian tennis star and Riverland's very own Luke Saville.

We spoke about how he met his wife and fellow Aussie tennis star Daria Saville, the thrill of representing the Aussies in the Davis Cup for the first time and what it was like to play in the final of the Australian Open Doubles in 2020 with fellow Aussie Max Purcell.

Thanks so much to Luke for his time, to Rackets and Strings for sponsoring the episode as well as Southern Slugs Football Club and to the brilliant team at PodBooth for putting this video together.

This episode explores the universal struggle of never feeling like you have enough time as a parent. In a world where time seems to slip through our fingers, we delve into the profound impact of parenting our perception of time. We use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to look at how the feeling dimension plays a significant role in the parental time dilemma.

Grab a cup of tea, take a deep breath, and let’s discover how to reclaim your time and nurture yourself on this parenting journey.
