Welcome to Rediscovering Connection!

In this episode I speak to Aarti Palmer, a brand strategist, who spent 10 years in Malaysia before returning to the UK, and finding her ikigai.

We navigate topics of authenticity vs AI, our online/offline personality, and getting used to local customs, even when they go against our natural impulse! 

Aarti shares valuable insights on creating the foundations of your personal brand, and the importance of only sharing what feels comfortable on social media. 

Tune in for an engaging discussion on connecting with and through our personal brand.

Chris Chandler Yates is a US expat currently living in New Zealand. Once a police officer, Chris has transitioned into running Masterminds, and these aren't your typical business gatherings – some even involve motorcycles!

My interest in Masterminds was piqued through Napoleon Hill's "Think & Grow Rich," and in this episode, Chris and I delve into the intricacies of curating and participating in Masterminds, whether in person or online.

Chris sheds light on the often-overlooked issue of loneliness among ex-cops, leading him to create a unique not-for-profit Mastermind called "The Debriefing Room." This safe space allows current and former police officers from around the world to come together and share their experiences.

Tune in for an engaging discussion on connecting people with a purpose through Masterminds, and discover the diverse range of topics these gatherings can encompass – including ones with a touch of adventure, like motorcycle-themed Masterminds!

If you've ever dreamed of running your own retreat or simply want to peek behind the scenes, then this episode of Rediscovering Connection is made for you!

Join me as I dive deep into conversation with Josephine Palermo, an executive coach, consultant, and bestselling author of "Rising to Feminine Power: The Lasso of Truth."

Together, we explore the art of holding space for guests before, during, and after their retreat experiences, offering insights into navigating post-event blues and ways to transition from work mode to lover mode when we work from home.

Ever wondered about the dynamics of sharing a room during a retreat? Our conversation sparks reflections on communal experiences, drawing parallels to my own story of room-sharing during a six-month student exchange in Melbourne at the age of 20. It's a reminder of the connection that communal experiences can ignite, should we choose to embrace them.

Join us as we share the highs and lows of our personal transformations, offering practical tips for achieving balance and enjoying the ride of growth and self-discovery.
