Katrina kindly joins me for virtual chats this week. Katrina shares very generously and openly about the turbulent times that have been the past 10 years in her life. A LOT has happened! 

Among all that happened is Katrina's experience of being diagnosed with cancer around the same time as her best friend and husband were also diagnosed with different forms of cancer. Katrina is now 7 years cancer-free, thankfully. 

Katrina and I also talk comedy, kids, covid, therapy, the importance of support, the kindness of people, gratitude, new perspectives and happy memories.

My guest this week is the witty & dapper Martin Angolo! This chat was recorded in pre-covid times, so it doesn't feature in our discussion! :) This is just two humans chatting back in the good old days of overcrowded buses, unprotected sneezes and no queuing.

Martin and I cover many topics during this chat, including: stress, how not to be stressed, doing more of the work you love and doing the work versus procrastination and laziness. Martin gives us some great tips on how to de-stress: just don't get stressed in the first place! ;)

We also talk stand-up comedy, first impressions, as well as getting to grips with our own impressions of ourselves.

It was a delightful chat and will be a delightful listen! Enjoy! :)

Steve Bennett joined me for some glorious existential chats. This was recorded pre-the current pandemic shitshow, so thankfully there is NO MENTION of covid in this episode! Oh the wondrous joy of it all! ;) 

Steve chats openly and honestly about his experience of trying therapy. We also chat about other things such as: expectations, gratitude, indecisiveness, friendship, commitment, hobbies, fun & games, moral dilemmas, making things and gardening. Lovely chat with a lovely human! I hope your ears enjoy it :)

Kerry Gandhi, Neil Kelders, kindly joins me for some great podcast chats this week. Neil shares with us how he's coping during covid lockdown times, his journey thus far in life, positive mental health strategies and the values he now lives by. 

Neil also discusses his experience of depression, reaching out, opening up and talking - which then led him on a healthier path towards improved mental health, better 'life balance', hope and a more joyful and jovial disposition! 

This chat was a lot of fun. Happy listening! :)

My special guest this week is my brother Sean. We chat about what we are currently going through: our father's recent cancer diagnosis. 

In this episode we discuss what the last few months have been like, how much our lives have changed with what we're forced to deal with, how we're coping, how we're not coping, what has been helpful along the way, tough times, better times, personal development and growth throughout.

Brian Pennie illustrates clearly how change is indeed possible in one's life. He is the living proof of it. Brian shares with us his life experience of overcoming a heroin addiction, detoxing, getting sober, staying sober and channeling his talents and strength into his new lifestyle and career as a life-strategist, author and public speaker. Brian also talks about anxiety, trauma experienced as a child, addiction, strategies that help him thrive daily and the key factor to successful change: consistency, consistency, consistency. 

Check out Brian's book entitled 'Bonus Time' - out now. You will find a link to his book on his website: BrianPennie.com or on his Instagram page @brianpennie78

Therese Cahill is my very special guest this week - in the week that marks the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY/ BIRTHDAY of my podcast, Humans Discuss Being! :) Hurray and Happy Anniversary/Birthday to HdB! ;) :) 

This was a really amazing chat. Therese opens up and shares honestly about so many experiences she has encountered thus far in life. We start off chatting about how things are in this new covidland we're all suddenly occupying, then we move beyond such matters. Therese talks about how her life has changed so dramatically in the past five years, since suffering an accident and having to deal with and adjust to life with a disability now as a result. Therese also shares openly about a particularly dark time she endured, this time last year, when she took an overdose with the intention of ending her life. 

Therese discusses what this time was like for her and her journey over the past year, with particular focus on what she does now that she finds helpful for her mental health and well-being. Therese also talks about how helpful comedy has been to her and how much she enjoys entertaining us all - and that she does, very well! Check out her hilarious videos and songs on her YouTube channel (Therese Cahill). She's also very active on TikTok and Instagram! 

Enjoy! :)

Christina Goetz - a very lovely human I have been fortunate to befriend after reading her book 'Truth Be Told' a few months ago.

Christina is an Intuitive Coach, Mindfulness Expert, Psychic Medium and generally beautiful soul of a person.

I really enjoyed this chat with Christina. We discuss how people may be feeling during these strange Coronavirus times: the anxiety of not knowing, fearing for one's health or the health of family members and other fellow humans, the mental health and overall well-being of our societies and the world in general. We discuss some practical self-care strategies that anyone can engage with.

Christina also shares with us her new venture, a podcast entitled 'Soulful Living' - which sounds amazing (currently available on spotify & anchor)

Christina chats very openly and honestly about difficult times she has experienced in her life, what she had to do to help herself out of these difficult times and what she has learned from these experiences.
