The power of myth.

For centuries story sharing has been the centre of wisdom and learning. Right through our ages we have learnt through the power of story. Finding belief and wisdom in the power of myth.

Mythology has power. Mythology has wisdom.

Lets embark on a journey of an age-old mythological story of Iron Jon. The story of the little boy who finds his essence. This is Robert Blys version.

The Journey Continues...

Why I went Vegan.
My journey of violence led me to the decision of going vegan. The PTSD and the traumatic flashbacks sent me there. It was like karma paying me a visit.

Seeing this trauma helped me link compassion to my heart and reset my values back in alignment. 

Cant fight for a cause if you are part of the problem.

Join Craig as we dive deep into this episode why going vegan is an important step and why.

The Journey Continues...

Have you ever been Sentenced?
Have you ever been held accountable for your actions?

Two very loaded questions that get crossed over by mistake of our culture. Two very different topics have different outcomes.

Punishment for example is punishing or sentencing an individual to be punished and not breaking their although strengthening their behaviour patterns of criminal behaviour

Being held accountable is holding someone accountable to their proposed agreement, 

In our justice system, there is no agreement made. Only punishment, Victims and offenders used as chess pieces in a system.

Join Craig we dive deep on this subject and create awareness to change.

The Journey Continues...

How humorous are you? Could you take a joke before your break? What about now? How do you handle comedy?

Do you enjoy comedy?

My journey of recovery has discovered a humorous side of myself. And no I don't use humor as a mask.  I love comedy. Stand up comedy. I grew up and idolized Rodney Rude, Kevin Bloody Wilson just to name a few. The PC free style comedy.

I found along my journey I got back into watching comedies such as Jerry Seinfeld etc and loved it and it actually helped ease the tension of my mental health challenges. If not aided in my recovery. Now Im a bit of a clown who always thinking up one liners. Go stir crazy around my work mates.

Join me on this episode. We journey into why humor is a pivotal part in recovery.

Season Two of this podcast will be directly published through the 2ndchanceman2020 Instagram page as I am in Facebook jail until June 10. I can still chat and respond to direct messages, just cant post.

The Journey Continues...

What does our society teach us about shame? Is it ok to shame an individual for their actions or shame the actions of an individual?

A topic I have studied immensely from different historical Sociologists.

In this episode, we look at systematic shame and the effects. And why it doesn't work yet we continue to do it. We breed further offending behaviour and division.

Shame is powerful. Shame is toxic if its used in the wrong way.

I will do another episode on this soon as well as there's more to this than what we see.

The Journey Continues...

Have you ever had your Great Awakening? Whatever that defines to you? To keep things simple and not conflict with religions or spirituality as I am Science based and to much Woo woo does my head in. Prefer the atheist approach. 

The three warning signs to a great awakening are;

1.  The AHA moment.

2. The realization. 

3 The Great Awakening which may happen within a crisis moment. Studies have found during moments of critical decision making on a suicide attempt an awakening occurs.

Join me on this episode as we navigate this. I share insights from my journey. A lot of experts talk about a breakdown but never the incremental moments.

The Journey Continues.....

How Our Emotions Influence our behaviour.

Recently triggered?
Feel like giving someone a keyboard bashing? There are enough keyboard warriors around. What's driving this? What are you hiding by projecting onto someone else?

Emotional Tangents can be toxic. I know. I have been on enough of them to stop and go oh fuck what am I doing....

Join Craig on this episode as he shares how to calm your emotions and don't let them influence your behaviour. 
The majority of criminal behaviour comes from emotionally influenced directions. Regardless if its rationally planned or irrationally acted.

This Podcast series will be released entirely through Instagram as My haters have successfully thrown me in FB jail dues to my activism until June 10 2021.

Join Craig as he explains the value of taking time out. Hitting that pause button on an already busy, chaotic to reflect, readjust etc.
How important taking time out and stepping away on a journey of recovery is crucial. Burnout sucks. Burnout sabotages. Burnout is something that's already got you burn out in the first place.
No matter who you are or what you do. Pause, reflect and readjust.

Simple episode. A time out episode.

All episodes from this series will be on Instagram only as my Facebook has been locked until 10th June 2021. Yes I have some haters out there who don't appreciate my activism.

Hey everyone. I'm back for now. Season two has begun.

After a brief absence as my uni degree and working 60 hours full time got a bit full on. Had to focus on my uni units and take a step back. This is the key to get me where I need to go.

Second Chance Man is evolving. Have not registered for a non for profit. A Second Life Foundation.

Join me in this episode as I uncover The Second Chance Mans 4 tier approach at targeting recidivism.
1. Introducing COSA. (Circles of Support and Accountability). Within prisons for all. Both minimum and maximum security inmates. 
2. Incorporate an animal-free lifestyle inside prisons as studies show that consuming animal flesh aids anger, stress and tension.
3. Introduce Medibeds into prisons to help aid healing and unwinding of trauma
4. Purchase land through A Second Life Foundation to build permaculture and plant-based farms. Model pro-social behaviour and teach skills that will become certified for employment.

This is The Second Chance Man's vision.
