Live Brave with Dr Margie Warrell

Is a past experience of failure keeping you from taking the very actions that would lead you to greater fulfillment in your work or other areas of your life? When looking at successful people, we often overlook their setbacks and mistakes and only see their triumphs. Yet every story of success is also a story of learning how to 'fail forward' and never letting failure define us. How you interpret your failures will either move you forward or hold you back. Every 'miss-step' you take in life is a lesson in what not to do. Every setback is an opportunity to dig deeper and discover strengths and courage that would otherwise lay dormant. This podcast will help you reframe your failures so you can use them to move ahead wiser, smarter and braver than you ever could have otherwise.

Few business figures in Australia's history have suffered such a public and humiliating fall from grace as Warwick Fairfax. At age 26, he took over his family's 150-year-old media empire and within a few years, the Fairfax media dynasty had ended. In this rare interview, Warwick shares his extraordinary journey of refinding himself after such a public shaming. His 'hard-won wisdom' will inspire you to forge a life of greater significance and discover within your hardships and setbacks a far greater sense of purpose than you ever would have otherwise.

Emotions are contagious. The challenge we face in our everyday lives is spending more time feeling the positive emotions – optimism, gratitude, connection, confidence - that fuel our wellbeing and success, and less with the negative ones- fear, anxiety, resentment, blame – that don't. Margie talks about how to short-circuit the low order (often destructive) emotions that sabotage success and hurt relationships and amplify the high order emotions that help you thrive. If you've been feeling flat or stuck or negative, listen up!

If you've been putting off getting into action, this episode is for you! So much of our potential and creativity never gets to see the light of day. Why? Because we have bought into the belief that we have to know everything or be masterful or have a fail-proof plan before we even start out. Margie will not only talk about the importance of stepping into action but how you can do it and why it will help you move forward far more quickly than waiting until you're sure you're ready (because that may take a lifetime!).

Many people can be pretty tough on themselves, focusing more on their faults and failings than on their strengths and wins. Maybe you're one of them? If so you must listen to this interview with one of the world's top experts on self-compassion, Dr Kristin Neff. She will share how to quiet your inner critic by being kinder to yourself and why doing so will actually help to boost your motivation, improve your learning and achieve more than you would by being super hard on yourself.

In this episode, Margie unpacks why the most impressive people are those who aren't trying to impress. They are so at home in their own skin that they have no need to prove, please or impress. They don't name drop. They don't puff out or pretend. They are just themselves. While we all like to be liked, by learning to let go our need to be more like anyone else, we liberate ourselves to become the best version of the fabulous, fallible and "flawsome" person we already are.
