Getting Shiggi with...

Like a wounded donkey, the show will go on! This episode has been sitting on my hard drive waiting to see the light of day for about 3 weeks. And today (a random Friday) it finally lives. Lockdown 3 in the UK is ravaging on. Whilst work is great, my static state isn't. So episode 31 is a lyrical lamentation over mental wellness.

I'm still experimenting with intros and outros - I think I'm getting there.

Episode 30 brought to you by mostly going through the motions of processing my father's recent passing which brought up a lot of curious thoughts around my being adopted by him and what that actually now means.

It's a touch more solemn than usual, but them's the breaks.

Good morrow! Fair listeners...it's been a while. A few months in fact, since the last episode. Life in the land of Shiggi got tough and I decided I needed to take some time away from basically everything and look after myself for a bit.

That all worked out great as you discover in this super short 15min episode.

The biggest takeaway is a short summary of a January challenge I did and had people do a few years ago that had you follow 3 basic mantras for a whole month:

1. Speak no bullsh*t
2. Eat no bullsh*t
3. Move your body (just a little bit)

Super simple, but a far easier and encouraging way to get yourself through the year than most.

Once again, I thought I didn't have much to say - and once again the day before I found I was thinking about a multitude of things. This was helped by taking over Ex TeamGB climbing member Louis Parkinson's Instagram page for a day. I shared 4 long posts covering thoughts about rock climbing (whilst Black) which you can find as a collected article here: Contemplating Climbing whilst Black
The second part, I wax lyrical about the spectrum of full-time work versus being self-employed and how it's ok to flip from one to another and back again if you want.

I think I just about had nothing to say this morning, but dragging my butt to online Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class spurred this episode's content into existence! So, settle in and let's discuss why Mel Robbins' 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 method is absolute gold. How the importance of the previous "100 Sessions" comes into the spotlight in the depths of a pandemic. And experience how one's train of thought can completely crap out, if you haven't fed yourself properly. 
The two podcasts I guested on recently are from Dennis Ball on his YouTube Channel (there are 3 parts!) and The Liminal Podcast

It's a Wednesday! And my brain...poor thing, needs a gym or something! Anyway, it's been a curious old week including conversations with old school friends which ended up in a self-schooling around Anti-Racism and really looking at what you do to be happy...not having happiness, genuinely BEING happy...

Mine definitely includes a bit of Jamiroquai

Happy Solstice! Once again, this episode came up out of the blue, orange, yellow, red, green, purple...well, it's certainly rainbow-powered. Carrying on in the fashion of wanting to at least help one person understand a little bit more about themselves or some aspect of the world (and maybe feel a little bit less crazy) - this episode surfs the surface of my journey into more "New Age" experiences. Kambo and Iboga are probably not part of your everyday conversations, but they were certainly key ceremonies I took part in and helped me understand myself a little bit more...

Hark, another 2 weeks have gone by. And you know what? That's OK. I took a week off of social media (sorta) and it lay the way to many insights, ideas and planned action going forwards. "Implicit bias" was the phrase of the week and it spurred on some fun moments to recall from my university days and issues I had with my mother. Whilst we can't fully delete our internal bias - it helps to put a mirror up to it sometimes. So join me! In this little adventure down today's rabbit hole.

I didn't want to record today's podcast....but in a lighter er, light...who knows what's going to rock up in the next 7 or so days? The killing of yet another black man in the US by way of a brutal blood choke under a crooked police officer's knee has sparked global outrage, in the midst of a pandemic. To be quiet now would be foolish, so I share some thoughts and ideas. A few parts of this episode I'd have redone but they're done on the spot and from the hip.

Has it been 2 weeks? Really? I guess the subject of time is fitting. Come jump into a quick episode that gives you a snap of what's going on in my head, why it's been two weeks and a timely email from the past sent to the future via the wonderful world of www.futureme.org
