  • Season 1 Bonus Episode - Starting a podcast is hard

    That’s what we, Kerrin Smith @theelevatedapproachau and Dr Maike Neuaus @theflourishingdoc , are wondering atm regarding our passion project that is @flourishingunfiltered !

    If there’s one thing we’ve learned from all our chats with our fabulous guests this season it’s that about everyone is clueless about the questions we’re currently asking ourselves in the beginning of a new endeavour.

    What do YOU think we should do? Would love your feedback!

    Thanks a bunch for listening! We’ve had a blast and cannot wait to share Season 2 with you in January!

  • Shona Vertue (The Vertue Method) on Setting Boundaries

    In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with Shona Vertue!

    Shona is an ex-elite gymnast turned certified personal trainer and yoga teacher and shares her journey from gymnastics to becoming a fitness influencer and aspiring sports psychologist. Shona opens up about the challenges of balancing multiple roles, dealing with self-doubt, and finding strategies to overcome guilt. She talks about the importance of time blocking to stay focused and present in different areas of life. 

    We also discuss the impact of technology on boundaries and the need for self-care and managing time effectively. Shona shares her personal struggles with boundary-setting and how she has learned to prioritise her own needs. We also get a glimpse behind her decision to go back to school and study psychology to better understand human behavior and help her clients. 

    Shona highlights the importance of being motivated by intrinsic goals rather than external aesthetics and advises her younger self to not be afraid of what others think and to be selective in giving power to people's opinions.

    ***

    Shona is an ex-elite gymnast turned certified personal trainer and yoga teacher with nearly half a million followers on Instagram alone and one of the most popular yoga channels on YouTube. Shona's Vertue Method combines weighted resistance training and cardio with her life-long passions - yoga and meditation – and is now practised in over 65 countries around the world by thousands of people. She encourages her clients (who include none other than David Beckham btw) and fans alike to acquire new skills whilst training, and to play and have fun rather than focus on aesthetic goals and punishing routines. 

    Shona has lived between London and Sydney for many years, has the cutest squish of a baby daughter, Ayana, and makes me jealous frequently with the delicious meals she gets spoiled with by her partner Justin Wong. Oh and because having a baby, currently a mom to care for, and being a fulltime fitness influencer apparently barely fills your diary, she’s now also a sports psychology graduate, and host of The Vertue Podcast, in which she uses a biopsychosocial lens, to traverse through the intricate pathways of what it truly means to be well.

  • Corey Keyes (Flourishing Researcher) on Self-Liberation

    In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with Prof Dr Corey Keyes!

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr Corey Keyes, Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Emory University, and possibly the foremost voices in the study of human flourishing and languishing. Corey takes us on a journey through his groundbreaking work, exploring how he carved out a new research area that has transformed our understanding of mental health and well-being.

    During our conversation, Corey highlights the power of saying no to the things that don't nourish your soul, offering a reflection on the importance of asserting yourself in a world full of demands. He shares personal stories and professional insights into how we can actively seek out the things we need and create a robust support system to sustain our well-being.

    Corey also talks about the concept of freeing ourselves from the chains and bonds that hold us back—whether they are self-imposed or societal. He passionately discusses the necessity of finding your own path to happiness, encouraging us not to wait for permission from others but to focus on what truly liberates our soul and helps us become more expansive in our lives.


    ***


    Dr Corey Keyes is professor emeritus of Sociology at Emory University where he held the Winship Distinguished Research Professorship. He was a member of the prestigious international MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Successful Midlife Development and Aging. He has participated in several National Academies of Science initiatives – “The Future of Human Healthspan” and improving national statistics to measure recovery from mental illness.


    He organized and co-hosted the first Summit of Positive Psychology held in 1999 at the Gallup Organization. His research introduced the concepts of social well-being, flourishing, the two continua model of mental health and illness, and his work is being used to prevent mental illness via the promotion of positive (flourishing) mental health. And Corey’s most recent book is titled  “Languishing” in which he describes his own personal and scientific journey to create a scientific body of research to address two serious problems in himself and the world, one that wasn’t being addressed at all – languishing – in order to deal with another problem that was being addressed (mental illness) but continues to this day with little progress.

  • Greg Lacey (School Principal) on Educational Leadership

    🎙️ In today's episode of Flourishing Unfiltered, we speak with Greg Lacey!

    Greg is a retired school principal with an impressive 24-year career in education and leadership.

    He spent ten years as the Principal at Tyabb Primary School before moving on to Lyndhurst Primary School, where his leadership and commitment to fostering a positive school culture have left a lasting impact. His extensive experience extends beyond individual schools, as he has also contributed significantly at the network level, shaping educational practices across the region.

    In addition to his professional achievements, Greg is an accredited Executive Coach with Growth Coaching International. His passion for leadership excellence is evident in his most recent role as Principal in Residence for Leadership Excellence, where he continues to mentor and guide the next generation of educational leaders.

    Greg's influence reaches beyond the schoolyard. He serves as a State Councillor for the Victorian Principals Association, advocating for principals and ensuring their voices are heard in shaping educational policy.

    He is also a dedicated Board Member for Menzies Inc., a not-for-profit organisation that provides residential care and therapeutic programs for young people in need and at risk on the Mornington Peninsula. As Vice President of the Committee of Management for Menzies Caring for Kids, Greg plays a crucial role in supporting the organisation's mission to deliver quality care and support to vulnerable children and youth—a tradition that has been upheld for 147 years.

    👉 Greg shares his profound passion for working with youth and his commitment to helping them develop into well-rounded individuals. He opens up about his journey from a classroom teacher to becoming a principal, driven by a clear moral purpose and a desire to make a lasting impact on students' lives.

    Throughout the episode, Greg reflects on the challenges he encountered as a school principal, including navigating difficult conversations with parents and the complexities of building and maintaining a positive school culture. He stresses the importance of self-leadership, highlighting how having a clear moral compass guided his decisions and actions throughout his career.

    One of Greg's key messages is the crucial role of building a strong, positive culture within an organisation. He shares his experience at Lindhurst Primary School, where the environment he cultivated led to only four people leaving in the first five years, with two of them eventually returning. Greg underscores that attracting great people and creating a work environment where they can thrive is essential for the success of any organisation.

    Authenticity, according to Greg, is at the heart of effective leadership. He emphasises that leaders should lead according to their own personality, embracing vulnerability and striving for continuous improvement. He also touches on the importance of living the values of the organisation, with respect and integrity being fundamental in fostering a thriving culture.

    Finally, Greg discusses the significance of creating a psychologically safe environment, where individuals feel empowered to show up as their authentic selves. This, he believes, is key to not only leading successfully but also ensuring that everyone in the organisation can flourish.
