Max's Island episodes

  • #6: So, I stopped going to class.
    Larissa Muir is an active disrupter in the social services sector. She is
    highly client centred with an appetite for change and has a strong belief
    in people … especially to determine their own destiny. But how did she get
    there?
    When you’re bought up in a traditional Russian patriarchal family
    environment and your life direction is part of a family expectation, things
    seem pretty straight forward…but for Larissa that was not the case.
    In her words, this is what happened:-
    “ I was going to University …
    I was at UWA doing a human movement course …
    I’m really hating it …
    hating turning up …
    hating going to class …
    So, I stopped going to class !!! “
    What happened over the next few years were unconventional, but really
    defining for Larissa.

  • Episode 4: Perhaps you shouldn't put a gypsy on an island ... except maybe Max's Island!
    “I’ve learnt that maybe you don’t put a gypsy on an Island.”
    Tracy Wilson
     On Max’s Island we have our first guest (and most likely the only one ever) who actually has a house on an island. Tracy Wilson is a skilled mental health practitioner who has made a positive difference to the lives of many people with mental health challenges and is a fully inclusive workshop facilitator.
     In this episode you’ll understand what makes her a restless soul who does not take authority too well, how she uses a glass wine from neighbours to feel at home on her island and how she is fulfilling her dream of being a fiction writer.
     Enjoy your visit to another island.

  • Your voyage to Max's Island.
    We’re often told to be in the present moment … we’re told to set goals and achieve them … we’re told that life’s short and to live every moment as if it where our last.
    But what does all this mean?? 
    On Max’s Island podcast we have the answer to this … you’ll hear the unique stories from a range of special people … those who really did something for themselves … something that made them free, liberated, feel special … or just be, what they wanted to be.
    The soundtrack to Max’s Island is a song by singer/songwriter Steve Standing … it’s called “Island” and is off his latest album Little Rebellion. The chorus says it all … so listen to the entire song at the at the end of each podcast.
    “No-ones an island, but sometimes it’s good to pretend,
    Go for a hike, your burden’s just on your back,
    Walk on a beach, imagine you’re sailing away,
    Yeah no-one’s an island but sometimes,
    sometimes it’s good to pretend.”   
     Steve Standing – from the song “Island”, off the album Little Rebellion 2018.
    And a big thanks to Bec … who’s voice you heard in the intro. She is very talented and you can catch her regularly on the airways at RTRFM.
