Roll With The Punches

Are you still setting goals, implementing what worked for the 'successful people' but pulling up short of the desired outcome? Come on, put that cookie-cutter down and take my hand... 

I'm back with PH360 Personalised Health super-stars, Anne Larsen and Dr. Cam McDonald to explore the concept that success and goal achievement, like all things, isn't one-size-fits-all.

We discuss how understanding our unique personal traits and tendencies (those ones that are biologically hardwired) can significantly influence our approach to goals, rather than blindly following others' methods. We discuss how motivation is deeply linked to feelings and the need to understand our individual triggers and preferences.

In this conversation we expand on epigenetics and the role of our biology in shaping our behaviour and response to goal setting, recognising the importance of creating an environment conducive to these biological needs and the profound impact it can have on our success and outcomes. 

So, if your first month of '2024 is my year to succeed' isn't flowing with the ease and grace you anticipated, perhaps this conversation will offer up valuable insights!

"The terms 'psychopath', 'sociopath', and 'narcissist' are often heard in today's society. Many of us have experiences or stories about encounters with those who exhibit traits associated with these psychological profiles. Today's conversation features Dr. Kevin Dutton, an expert whose research into psychopathy has gained significant attention.

Dr. Dutton is well-known for his bestselling book, 'The Wisdom of Psychopaths', in which he explores the concept that certain traits typically associated with psychopathy can in fact have a positive spin. His work challenges the common perception, heavily influenced by media, that psychopaths are predominantly serial killers or cold-blooded criminals. Instead, he unpacks the complexities of (and potential wisdom to be gained from) psychopathy.

Buckle up and grab a pen and notepad too, as Kevin also guides us through an assessment to explore where you and I might just fall on the spectrum of psychopathic traits.

In this episode, I have a heart-to-heart with the incredible Jem Fuller. We really dive into some big topics like mental health, the wild journey of parenting, and how life-changing it can be to truly embrace self-acceptance and forgiveness. Jem opens up with some stories and insights from a community event he was involved in, focusing on the tough topic of suicide, particularly among men, and highlights the importance of having a solid support system.

We also have an honest chat about the complexities of parenting in today's fast-paced world (as clearly, I'm an expert!). We explore how even the small things parents do can have unintended impacts on their kids and how our best intentions don't always align with their experiences.

A major part of our conversation delves into forgiveness and reaching a place of peace with who you are at any moment. I dig into Jem's thoughts on how to let go of hard feelings and find forgiveness, even when forgiveness seems the toughest. And of course, we tackle the topic of shame head-on, discussing the importance of self-acceptance and self-understanding.

Today, I'm excited to welcome back Joe Williams, a respected and passionate advocate from the First Nations community, to discuss a range of vital topics. Our conversation dives into the richness of indigenous culture, history, and humanity, and explores pathways for national progress and understanding.

Recognising the significance of one of the world's oldest civilisations, I feel like many of us can gain new insights from Joe's perspectives. Soon-to-be-Dr Joe is continuing to make remarkable contributions in this field.

Leah Mether, a renowned expert in communication and leadership, returns to the show to dive deeper into her specialty. This time, she's all about courageous communication and leadership amidst change. While many discuss leading change, few actually address the intricate 'through' aspect - the leader's own journey and internal struggles during this process.

And change isn't confined to the workplace; it's just as present in our personal and family lives, sometimes those two collide simultaneously. It sure couldn't hurt to have some strategies for that scenario, right?

If getting a grasp on handling difficult conversations, having some perspective on 'work you' vs 'home you' and understanding the rules you're going to play by in this complex role of humaning you've landed in the middle of floats your boat then buckle up and listen in.

This podcast ep was sparked by some thoughts on a mind-bending book I've been getting stuck into this week, "The Courage to be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi. Big thanks to our pal Mark LeBusque for the killer recommendation!

Reflecting on the past year, one thing's crystal-clear - life's a bloody rollercoaster, right? Instead of chasing that elusive and unattainable perfect, stress-free life, why aren't we embracing the chaos?

During a stroll, I mulled over some New Year's self-reflection questions and one key question stuck with me: What have I stated I want to change but haven't? This led to a deep dive into identifying obstacles, intentions, and committing to action.

So, I'm throwing out an invite for a mini-coaching session. Let's set some solid intentions for 2024 and turn aspirations into actions, shall we?

With that question in mind, I unpack some of the following:

1. Defining what's needed for change.
2. Identifying obstacles and assess their validity.
3. Figuring out who's needed to support the change and how to communicate effectively.
4. Assessing our willingness to give up certain things for the desired change.
5. Digging into the motivations behind the stated desire to change.
6. Tackling any inner-dialogue and doubts about self-worth and deservingness.

Jump in, let's make 2024 the year of actionable change!

It took Penny Moodie a whopping 23 years to get a diagnosis for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Over two decades riding a mental health rollercoaster of intrusive thoughts and the mental or physical compulsions that follow. The stigma and misconceptions surrounding OCD make this type of delayed diagnosis all too common. 

'I'm so OCD' seems at times to be a pretty familiar off-hand remark from every second person who likes to throw the label on their little quirks and habits without too much thought, however this is the first in-depth conversation I've had on the show regarding obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it raised a lot of questions around how we can differentiate between anxiety on this type of clinical disorder. 

Penny used her experience to dive deep and write her book The Joy Thief (yep, I flogged the title for this episode too) where she speaks to other OCD sufferers, as well as some of the world's leading OCD doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists to put together a resource to help close the potential 23-year gap on sufferers getting some solid help.

Today, she joins me to peel back the layers of her world over the last 12 years, offering us a glimpse into the emotions, experiences, and discoveries along the way.

It's not just about the diagnosis, it's about how Candice has navigated the body and mind stuff in the face of such seemingly dire circumstances. So, get ready to be moved and motivated as Candice Walker walks us through the highs, lows, and in-betweens of her journey, leaving us with an understanding of what it truly means to manage not just a body, but a spirit, amidst life's unexpected turns.

Imagine if you could invest just three minutes a day and the outcome was having better days! A better attitude, more gratitude, no platitudes (ok, I just really just wrote that one because it rhymes), less stress and more joy & positivity. Well, that's what I've experienced since putting this journaling prompt into practice last month and much to my delight, it DID turn out to be no platitude after all. More of the good stuff and less of the crap stuff. 

So, as always, I'm sharing it with you in this episode.

Meet Mick Cummins, the unsung hero of police veteran peer support. Now, this guy's no big shot; he's as humble as they come. A career in policing that spans decades, with stints in Iraq training the locals thrown in for good measure.

Mick started leaning into supporting his colleagues early on, and once he hung up his police hat he kicked things into high gear. Teaming up with the brilliant Vicky Key, they set up the very first peer support network for police veterans and after several meetings with former Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton, they birthed what we now know as Police Veterans Victoria.

Mick has touched the lives of countless first responders. No doubt, his empathy and knack for being there when it matters most have saved more lives than we can count.

In this chat, Mick share's it all... he's raw, he's honest, and it's an absolute ripper. Get ready for a conversation that goes beyond the surface with this legend.
