The more that we talk about and normalise autism, the better understanding we have.

Thank you to all the guests who have shared their stories and inspired others to keep going and to realise that we can make it through some terrible situations. Thanks to everyone who keeps listening and sending me feedback :)
This episode is all about setting boundaries around your self-care. I have been quite unwell recently with a brain bleed and had to really start taking care of myself. This was a great conversation to have at this time for me :)

I had a great conversation with Chris and found him to be a great ambassador for change. Chris has had a lot go on in his life and he could have easily given in!
Chris is a professional goals and habit coach with clients in business, recovery, and personal performance and development. Chris is obsessed in helping people turn doubt and failure into powerful consistent action so they can achieve their health and wealth goals with ease.
After having physical and sexual abuse as a child. Chris turned to drug and alcohol abuse for 17 years of active addiction. The last decade of his active addiction brought Chris to a deep darkness that he could no longer tolerate. He made the decision to do whatever it took. He teamed with a coach and found his sobriety.
Chris has accumulated 7 years of dedicated action and accountability. He, in turn, is creating and living the future he wants.
Chris competes in adventure races, marathons, and in 2020, he completed his first 50 mile ultramarathon. He is currently running every day for 2,000 days (March 2022 to August 2027) to prepare to run 6,600 miles across the United States. He embodies the axiom “choose your hard.” Chris knows not only the way to become a high achiever, but also the feelings of proudness, joy, and fulfillment that come from it.

I met Danyon the day we recorded this episode. I had been sent a reel of his on Instagram and thought he had a powerful story. I wasn't wrong :)
Danyon has been through quite a lot in his young life but to hear him talk with such emotion and insight you can see how far he has come. Danyon is a true fighter and someone who has really learnt some tough lessons. He doesn't shy away from what he has been through and uses it to teach others through his resilience. I am glad to know Danyon and he has shown me different ways to see ourselves and how to create better things even though life can seem stacked against you :)
I'm Danyon, I'm originally from Christchurch, New Zealand , From a young age I never felt like I was like the other kids.. In actual fact I wasn't.. I was ME.. Thru out my years on this earth I have gone down many rabbit holes and ended up in dark places.. Addiction and Prison being two of them.. However thru the dark I have found my purpose and that is giving brothers and sisters like myself some HOPE and making it clear if I can change anyone out there can and it starts within.. I am now training to be a qualified Chef and am engaged to an amazing Women called Cole.
I now know it's possible to have a good life and learn to love yourself...

This week is a bit different. I am playing an episode which appeared on another podcast by The Mind Tradie :) I listened to this episode some time ago and it really moved me, it made me connect with Jamie and ask him to be a guest on the show. We have become great friends and talk often, and he has appeared on instagram lives with me and a few episodes of this podcast.
What i loved about this episode is how raw Jamie is when he talks about his childhood. This was the first podcast i had heard that really made me feel sad but also inspired me. When you listen you will get a great understanding of Jamie and what he has been through because he is also losing his sight! Jamie is someone that I am really proud to know and call my friend and I hope his story moves and inspires you the way it did me :)

Karen and I have known each other for the past couple of years and she is a phenomenal grief counsellor, in fact she is good all round. We have had a discussion before on the 5 stages of grief on my Instagram lives and we had some really great feedback. I think with grief there are a lot of reasons why we don't openly discuss the issue and hope fully you will find some answers by listening to this conversation.
I really enjoyed sharing our personal experiences and how we have managed them and hopefully that will enable you to move through your grief a bit easier :)
Karen is a trained, fully qualified counselor with a special interest in grief, men's mental health, trauma, anxiety, and depression. She understands how hard it can be when people are faced with grief and navigating our way through the journey. Having experienced a loss of a loved one herself, she understands how to help individuals work through what they are experiencing.
Karen trained as a bereavement counsellor for her local hospice where she worked for 4 years and has now gone on to start her own private practice.
