State Shifters Podcast

Welcome to our 50th episode! To celebrate this milestone, I’ve invited my friend and the man who inspired the creation of this podcast, Josh Collins, back on to chat about growth, trauma, adjusting to the ‘work from home’ life and the benefit of pencilling in time to slow down. Josh (@jcoll11) has been one of my longest and best mates, and someone who I can always have deep and genuine conversations with. I invite you to tune into our discussion and, hopefully, pull something from it.

We discuss:

- growing in unexpected ways

- finding pleasure in the simple things

- managing the ‘work from home’ transition

- pencilling in time to slow down

- making peace with your current state

- the purpose in your pain

- accepting the neutrality of the universe

- evolving into love

- small practices for healing trauma

- and the biggest things I’ve learned since starting this podcast

For those of you who are have been here for all 50 episodes and for the ones who are new to the podcast… thank you for all your love and support.
