Life Changes YOU

From the Archives.

This episode was originally recorded and released 18 July 2021. I like playing the older episodes for those of you who have just started listening :)

As its the Holiday season around the world I thought it was a good idea to replay them.

Conor's story is brave and one that we don't hear very often. We hear a lot about females having anorexia but males not so much and that is why Conor wanted to share his story. By him speaking up it removes some of the stigma for other boys or men to feel confident about seeking help and treatment.

One of the things I wanted to do with this podcast is highlight issues that don't get as much attention in the mainstream media. With Conor's story you will understand what he went through and how great it was for him to come onto the episode and share his story.

Arlene Bailey is a country singer with the band Bailey. She speaks openly about her life with bipolar and how she has managed to incorporate it in to her busy life. This was a great conversation when it first came out and I wanted others to be able to have a listen.

Sarah Edmondson is a Canadian actress and podcaster.

Edmondson is a former member of NXIVM, a multi-level marketing company co-founded by Keith Raniere. In 2017, she left the group and confirmed longstanding criticism that NXIVM operated as a cult.

Hollie is a Clinical Psychologist and has a wealth of information to talk about. In this episode we discuss addictive behaviours and how we can manage them.

It's surprising how many addictions there are that we probably don't even think about.

I hope you enjoy this episode with Hollie :)

I was excited to have this conversation with Rob! He is a man who knows happy and what it takes to be happy :) He is a critically acclaimed author and celebrity endorsed happiness coach. Before the conversation I read his book "Happiness from the Inside Out" and what a great book it is. Rob covers so many topics and it's a really easy read. I read it in a few sittings.

What I love about Rob is his genuine take on what it means to be happy and how he explains it in a way that everyone will understand. I hope that this is one of many conversations I will be having with Rob!

I have added the links to his books and to his website and I hope that you enjoy this amazing conversation :)

Many think that happiness, like success, comes from getting what they want. But new evidence from positive psychology suggests that happiness is something else, or at least something more.

Presenting surprisingly practical wisdom in a playful and entertaining format, Rob Mack delivers a simple-to-follow instruction manual, based in both science and personal experience, for living a happier, healthier, and wealthier life, starting today.

Mack describes eight tried-and-true principles for realizing unconditional happiness and achieving the unparalleled success that comes with it.

With a little effort, anyone — regardless of current circumstances — can discover new levels of joy and contentment on the inside and live a wonderfully prosperous and abundant life on the outside.

This is a very important episode! It has taken us 2 years to be able to bring this to you and Emmas story will shock and inspire you.

Emma didn't choose her young life, it happened to her. Emma is extremely brave in talking about this part of her life and you will hear how traumatic it was at not just a young age but at any age. She hopes that by listening you will understand what her life was like and help others that have been through similar situations.

Emma can now speak about this because she is the first out of dozens of confirmed victims to win a legal settlement with the 2 lawyers who were on the team that got Larry Nasser 175 years in jail. Her settlement now proves that Yogi Bharjan is not only a serial predator of adults but a confirmed paedophile of children.

We don't want this to be the focus on the yogi but how Emma was able to turn her life around into a positive future! This is also not about Kundalini yoga but about Yogi Bhajan and 3Ho and the atrocities they committed in the 90s.

This week I collaborated with the Mind Tradie to have a conversation around mental health and how we remove the stigma. It's the first time since Covid that I have been able to have a guest in the studio with me and it was great to be there. I have known Jamie for around a year online and it was great to meet face to face to have this conversation in person instead of on zoom.

We talked about the ways that we can both try to normalise the conversations that people are having around mental health. I hope you enjoy this episode ant that you go and follow Jamie on his podcast
