In our first ever Dear Caz episode, Caz answers the question, "Can grief get lodged in the body? How can you gently release it with Chinese medicine."

Grief is a topic that is close to Caz's heart. It is both violently unique to an individual, but somehow an achingly similar experience amongst those who experience. This episode is for you if you hold your own grief, know NOTHING about the experience, or if you have a loved one in the trenches.

As a bite size episode, you can listen while you do the dishes, to get an insight into the treatment of grief from a Chinese experience and a few things you can do to take care of yourself.

See you next week!

Is purpose the silver bullet to leading a fulfilling working life? Or can you make your career fit your lifestyle the way that you need it to? Today I speak with Jo Lippold from Good Cheer Leadership about work (work work), rest and play.

Kim K said "it seems like no one wants to work these days," but I would argue that a lot of people are just trying to keep their head above water. Join Jo and I as we discuss ways to use creativity throughout your work day, how to structure your days and the importance of finding time for rest and play.

EVENT: Jo and I will be running a workshop (acupuncture included) on this very topic on the winter solstice. Get in touch with either of us to be notified when tickets drop, or sign up for the waitlist on my website. https://cazbutler.com.au/events
