This week's episode is about how we are conditioned into silence and the power of personal branding in the world today. How building a personal brand can help you cope with your day to day corporate glass prison.

Have we become a society where learnt helplessness is prolific?

Where we'd rather be told what to do and how to think rather than take any type of responsibility.

This episode explores some current observations and state of play as we're starting 2024. How little by little the additional tasks are adding up to create systems and structures that are leaving people despondent, burnt out and tired. Even though the year has just started exposure of structures, systems and the rocky foundations they sit on are being shown all around.

It's time to take stock, what do you think?

Today we delve into the latest exclusive by Rick Morton for The Saturday Paper which uncovers the inner workings of the Mental Health Commission.

Read the full article here.

We cover how having the hard conversation is the answer to so many of the internal organisational issues.

How listening is important and making changes that matter.

We cover dysfunctional organisations and how they are more concerned with their own reputation rather than meaningfully caring for their staff or customers for that matter.

How focusing on people matters over profit and how to identifying a company that has a poor culture. The big red flags that stand out.

In this episode we speak with Karina Kalilah, a leader in Rebirthing Breathwork, Embodiment and Sound Medicine. A former high school teacher who after experiencing burnout, found healing through sound and breathwork. Her journey has seen her create the Embodied Breath Academy where she teaches and certifies people to be rebirthing breathwork practitioners. 

We spoke about the healing of breathwork, how breath can help to reduce stress and be a catalyst to help people find what they truly love. Karina shares her personal journey to how she came across the healing modalities she now teaches. We delve into shame, our stories and loving ourself and being more compassionate through our experiences. 

You can find Karina through her website or on instagram and facebook

Karina does private sessions for Rebirthing Breathwork, Coaching, Sound Healing and Voice Activation.

Getting real personal here. Sharing part of my journey, the big experiences that I've gone through and why my mission is to make workplaces better. 

Please be warned, we touch on miscarriage, depression and suicide topics in this episode. 

This is just sharing part of what has been a catalyst to speak out about what's really going on in workplaces, the lack of meaningful support is palpable when you go through some big life experiences. 

I cover chronic fatigue, my experience being diagnosed with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome), burnout and the contrast of different workplace support and the moments that matter. 

Returning to a workplace after personal ordeals. What that can look like and how it can and should be so very different. How getting to the truth can be so incredibly challenging when responsibility is shirked. 

In sharing my experience, I hope this helps you to not feel so alone in what you're going through.

In this episode we delve into how fear is ruling our institutions and our society. "let them hate so long as they fear"

We go into the kyrarchial systems as outlined in Bri Lee's book, Who Gets to be Smart. The examples of cognitive dissonance of leaders, the ridiculous dealings with Optus that seem to never end and the overarching world of education and what's behind the mechanism of it all. 

In contrast we explore how Ted Lasso is a prime example of a very different type of leadership style that the world needs to see more of. 

We look at what meaningful inclusion really can look like. 

The psychological damage and psychosocial risks of being gaslit by companies or organisations and how they are continually continuing awful behaviour with performatory efforts. 

We also cover why outsourcing is not the answer to your workplace culture issues.

This episode is about how awful woman can be to each other, I explore how in my experiences while men's sexual innuendos can be not so nice - I've found the way women treat other women can be even more damaging and incredibly disappointing from those who you think would be supportive. 

My new found hero, Cindy Gallop is referenced multiple times in this episode - sorry, not sorry! She's incredible - go follow her musings on LinkedIn, like the International Woman's Day one here - she calls it how she sees it.

In this episode we chat with Ryan Butta, author, writer and editor of Out of Office. A newsletter that charts his course of quitting office life to pursue a writing career. 

We discuss his experience of starting his newsletter about leaving the office. A post Australian Government job life and what that looks like along with some interesting experiences he's had back in the public service office days. We also explore what success looks like and being the master of your own time. 

This episode does have a trusty internet drop out in the first couple of minutes, although it is stable after that!

Ryan gives insights into how people are relating to their workplaces and hopes the questions that he asks himself and his writing, helps others to question and explore their experiences also.
