Have you ever looked up to someone? Tried to mimic someone successful? Did it work, or did you fail?

Chances are, like (in all honesty) your New Years resolutions, you failed. But do you know why?

This episode will lightly touch on what has gone wrong when you try to be someone or something that you are not.

I mentioned Toastmasters 1st all the way in my introduction episode, and figured it was about time to bring it up to talk about.

Toastmasters is a global entity that is all about developing speaking skills and leadership capabilities.

This episode is not made with their overview, perspective or input, but just purely my experience.

If you are interested in finding a club, as mentioned in the episode go to: www.toastmasters.org/findaclub

"What's your poison?"

This episode touches on the effects of alcoholism and the effects that this kind of addiction can have on someone. In this case it's about my now past fathers relationship with alcohol and how I relate it back to the truly amazing song "Familiar Taste of Poison" by the amazing Halestorm.

As such, please note if you are not in the right mind or have issues dealing with conversations about alcoholism in general, this might not be the best episode for you to listen to. Please be mindful of this, and if you do suffer from alcoholism or another addiction, please know that there are services and friends that are out there willing to help you!

Part 3 of my weight loss journey:

There is a glorious few weeks at the start of every weight loss journey, and during those 1st few weeks, you can usually smash out some amazing losses. I was no different.

Starting a new healthy eating regime can be challenging, having one to begin right before Christmas is even worse, but when you stick to it, you can and will reap the benefits.

What happens when the stories stop getting told? Today's episode is about the importance of our cultural and heritage stories being passed on from generation to generation.

You possibly have your own, passed from your grandparents, or ones that you have passed to your children or grand children...

But what would happen if they never got passed on?

Get them in before Saturday the 15th of January (Australian time) to get them included in the mailbag episode I'll be compiling for the completion of Season 01.

How music shapes our personalities, and affects our moods. How what we listen to really isn't part of our individualism, instead and consolidation by what is listened to around us.

It's that Christmas time of the year again. Remember your breathing, think of your happy place. Christmas isn't everyone's cup of tea, but we are all in it together.

Part 2 of a split series of how I got fat, and how I was now beginning my journey of actively losing it.
