Episode 140 - HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time with Brad Aronson, Bestselling Author

Brad Aronson is Husband, Dad and Bestselling Author of HumanKind: Changing the World One Small Act At a Time.

HumanKind is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller, USA Today Bestseller and Canadian Book Club Awards Winner.

HumanKind - "An elegant, wise book of love in action" - Deepak Chopra

HumanKind - "The most uplifting and life-affirming book in years" - Forbes

----

Brad Aronson's life changed in an instant when his wife, Mia, was diagnosed with leukemia.

After her diagnosis, Brad spent most of the next two and a half years either by her side as she received treatment or trying to shield their five-year-old son, Jack from the wort of Mia's illness.

Amid the stress and despair of waiting for the treatment to work, Brad and Mia were met by an outpouring of kindness from friends, family and even complete strangers.

Inspired by the many demonstrations of "human kindness" that supported their family through Mia's recovery, Brad began writing about the people who rescued his family from that dark time, often with the smallest of gestures.

But he didn't stop there. Knowing that simple acts of kindness transform lives across the globe every day, he sought out these stories and shares some of the best ones here.

In his National Bestseller book - HumanKind, you'll meet the mentor who changed a child's life with a single session in show tying, the six-year-old who launched a global kindness movement, the band of seamstress grandmothers who mend clothes for homeless people, and many other heroes.

Yvette Le Blowitz, Podcast Host sits down with Brad Aronson who shares ways we can make a difference through the simplest words and deeds.

HumanKind will leave you grateful for what you have and provide a refuge from the negativity that surrounds us.

This #spaitgirl podcast episode 140 is a heartfelt uplifting reminder of what really matters and how easily we can change a life - including our own.

In Podcast Episode 140

- a little bit about himself

- his HumanKind book journey

EP.138 - When We Become Strangers with Maggie Hamilton, Social Researcher, Author

How Loneliness Leaks into our Lives and What We Can Do About It

Maggie Hamilton is a Sydney based Author and Social Researcher. Maggie writes books and for magazines.

She gives frequent talks and lectures and is a regular media commentator and a keen observer of social trends.

Maggie Hamilton has held a number of senior roles in publishing and at the ABC.

Her professional memberships include serving on the Executive of the Sydney Peace Foundation, as a Member of the Organising Committee for the Federation Australian Women Speak Conference, Office for the Status of Women, set up to examine the future of Australian women, and Member of the Organising Committee for the Federation Australian Women's History Project, Office for the Status of Women, Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet.

While immersing herself in a world of ideas and possibilities, Maggie Hamilton has written a handful of books for children and feels so lucky to work with so many brilliant writers and thinkers.

In between times she loves to travel off the beaten track (well pre-covid) to recover those parts of her that are silenced in everyday.

One of her most memorable journeys was through Amercia's southwestern desert, as it made her feel so liberated while traversing those breath-taking landscapes.

Returning, Maggie always yearned for more space in her life, in her head. Eventually she left work to write and explore more soulful topics.

Three years later in 2005 she was invited to set up Allen & Unwin's Inspired Living imprint, which she managed until 2012.

Three huge bodies of research followed alongside this work, culminating in her books What Men Don't Talk About, What's Happening to Our Girls? and What's Happening to Our Boys? which all had a huge reception, each striking a chord with many.

Her latest research, captured in When We Become Strangers, looks at our growing estrangement from ourselves and each other - as seen in our children, wider relationships and workplaces, in our communities, and towns and cities.

And, most importantly, what we can do about this.

Everything Maggie Hamilton does is informed by an insatiable curiosity about life, about people.

She is passionate about exploring the possibilities before us, and how we can create a better tomorrow.

Her toes still curl at the possibility of more travel to out-of-the-way places. Maggie also loves film and vintage clothing, new projects, theatre and dance, and endless soulful moments that present themselves daily.

Yvette Le Blowitz, Podcast Host sits down with Maggie Hamilton to find out more about her brand new book: When We Become Strangers - how loneliness leaks into our lives and what we can do about it.

After decades of affluence, we're busy renovating our homes, buffing and botoxing our bodies, and losing ourselves in passive entertainment and shopping, as depression and anxiety soar.

And with the arrival of Netflix and Uber Eats, there's less and less incentive to leave home.

Could our constant need for connection be messing with our brains? Is this why we're losing our ability to strike up a conversation with anyone we don't know?

And given the so many of our kids lack one-on-one attention and regular touch, are we raising this new generation to be profoundly lonely?

Right now, many of our relationships at home and at work, as well as in our communities are struggling.

What, then, are the best ways back to belonging, and what might a more engaged community look like?

Find Out..........

In Podcast Episode 138

Maggie Hamilton shares:

- a little bit about herself

- her brand new book - When We Become Strangers

- our growing estrangement from ourselves and each other

- how loneliness leaks into our lives and what we can do about it

- powerful ways to bring back connection

- practical to our increasing social isolation in our families and communities

- effective ways to engage with iGEN

- ways to help our iGEN feel connected and less lonely

- how to bring back a more engage community lifestyle

- how we can create a better tomorrow and future

- the changing workplace and space

- some of the mental health challenges that come with loneliness

- what her self-care rituals are

and of course we talk about so much more, because it's TALK SHOW......

EP.137 - Life is Tough (But So Are You) with Briony Benjamin, Viral Video Producer, Author

How to Rise to The Challenge When Things Go Pear-Shaped

Briony Benjamin is a prolific viral video producer. After creating cheeky and impactful videos for Australia's leading purpose-led campaigning groups, she landed the job of Executive Producer of Video at women's media site Mamamia.

However, a few months into the job she started to feel crappy, All. The. Time. Doctors told her she was just stressed and should rest more and learn to meditate.

She started to think maybe she was a bit crap at life and not cut out for a busy, fast-paced media career. But it turned out she had cancer, all through her body.

Unsure of what was to come, Briony turned the camera on herself and started documenting her journey. This resulted in a short video, 'You Only Get One Life', which went viral.

Its raw portrayal of a journey through cancer - combined with the powerful reminder that life is fleeting and precious - touched millions.
