  • Sam Daily | Master Your MONEY Mindset
    Today we’re talking Money, Mindset & Manifestation...
    From a slightly different perspective than you may have been exposed to previously… as I'm joined by Sam Daily.
    This is one of the most enjoyable chats I've had on the show, and perhaps one of the most insightful! You guys are going to get a LOT out of this one.
    We cover:
    - The cosmic mix of the ‘spiritual’ and the ‘tangible’... What does this look like exactly?
    ‘Being a ‘magnet’ for money…
    How do we make sure we spend the majority of our time in that state of abundance?
    What is perhaps something most people HAVEN’T considered that is probably keeping them stuck in a bad money cycle?
    How do we break the cycle?
    A ‘lack’ mindset - what does this look like and how does it impact people’s ability to grow personally, and of course financially?
    How do we ‘condition’ ourselves for wealth?
    Imposter Syndrome and limiting beliefs about ourselves, the world, and our capacity to generate and keep money.
    Importance of healthy money habits…
    Allowing money to FLOW - money in, money out..

    In this episode of BrainTainment, I chat with inspirational speaker, coach and author Michael Crossland.
    Michael Crossland is one of Australia's most sought after inspirational speakers - and rightly so!

  • Kirstene Ciappara | How To Find Your Passion & Purpose
    Do you find yourself pondering if there's more to life? To YOUR life?
    Do you feel a little 'lost' at times, and lacking any real passion and sense of purpose in your career, hobbies etc?
    THIS is absolutely the episode for you.
    Kirstene ('KC') helps people unlock their passion & purpose. She helps people design careers that light them up!
    Now listen - this idea of creating a life of passion and purpose is arguably one of the most important conversations to have...
    The challenge is, a lot of information out there is too abstract and doesn't help move the needle for those of us who still feel entirely 'lost'.
    Well, KC can truly help. This was one of my favourite conversations I've had on this show...
    If you're someone who feels a little lost, dreads their day-to-day, or simply just wants to explore what it is that's missing from YOUR life... then I think you'll love this episode...
    We talk about best practices to help identify interests, and the process of turning something into a fully fledged passion, that's aligned with YOUR natural human design.
    We explore the different 'archetypes' in this chat too, which help tremendously when it comes to identifying what it is that will light YOU up.
    Which archetype are you!?

  • Kybor Garner - Importance Of A Brotherhood And Integrating Our 'Shadow'
    This is an episode tailored for all the fellas out there - though for any women who want to tune in, no doubt you'll find it interesting also.
    I speak with Kybor Garner today - A Coach and facilitator doing great work in the 'Men's Space' to help men level up, free themselves from limiting conditions and beliefs, and integrate their 'shadow' selves to become full expressed.
    This sounds a bit abstract I know - but there really is a mountain of work to be done for blokes out there today... who are feeling stuck, and living a 'small' life in terms of society deems is the norm.
    Pretty chill convo, but some powerful ideas in this one!
    Are we fully expressing our true nature? What is the consequence of not doing so? Are we fully connected to our kin? Certainly questions worth exploring, which we touch on in this brief chat.

  • 3 Powerful Lessons I've Learned Recently...
    In the midst of continued lockdown here in Melbourne, I have time on my hands...
    Naturally, my mind wanders to a more introspective state. Also quite naturally for me - I felt compelled to 'think out loud', and so here I share 3 really powerful lessons that I've noticed in recent months.
    A couple of personal stories and examples, but I really think all 3 of these lessons will land with you guys, and offer something of value to consider... to help feel clearer, and less 'stuck' mentally & emotionally.
    Ya'll fuck with this? (Lingo for 'Did you enjoy this episode?)

  • Mark Scrivens - On His Time on 'MAFS' TV Show + Importance Of Breaking Mental Health Stigma
    This is a super fun, relaxed AND important conversation with Mark Scrivens.
    An absolutely ripping bloke. I really enjoyed this one... and I know you guys will too!
    Mark shares:
    - The (funny) story behind how he ended up on Married At First Sight (Season 6)
    - The highlights of that experience
    - The work he's doing with the LIVIN' non-profit organization, helping to break the stigma of mental health
    - His own story of flirting with some mental health challenges
    - His approach to feeling good and boosting mood (including an easy little practice worth exploring)
    We also discuss the idea that there is indeed no 'One Size Fits All' when it comes to optimising our mind and mood.
    This is a very important message in my book, given the magnitude of information currently available for us all to subscribe to...

  • Understanding The Effects of Trauma, c-PTSD, and How To Recover | Jessica Lowe
    On this show I tend to follow my own curiosity to determine which guests to bring on the show and what topics to unpack and share with you guys...
    Lately, I've been wildly fascinated with the world of TRAUMA - all the intricacies of how trauma both as a child and as an adult can drastically impact the human experience... on both a psychological and biological level.
    On this episode, I'm joined by Jessica Lowe, the create of the @cptsd.hope account on Instagram, providing useful info, tools and inspiration for those affected by complex trauma.
    This is largely motivated from her own experience as a child, which she touches on in this chat.
    For anyone that has experienced trauma, knows someone who has, or who is simply curious about the lasting impacts that even the 'smallest' traumas can have on our body, brains and psyche - then you'll enjoy this episode.
    We only scratch the surface of this deep field of conversation, however there's some gold in here and it was super interesting to hear Jess's story, perspective and thoughts on this topic.
    NOTE: There are a couple of moments throughout this chat where the audio/technology falters. I do apologize. Hopefully your listening experience is not too heavily impacted, and you still get tremendous value from this chat!
