PhD Candidate Alex Manson is interested in the opportunity for food to be provided in the school environment. Her thesis is examining perceptions of the current school food system and the features that influence parental acceptability of a potential school-provided meal system in Australia. We discuss the benefits of this potential system such as children’s school attendance, equal nutrition provided for all students regardless of SES, nutrition education, and the release of parent and family burden for the time and commitment to preparing school lunches. Alex is one month out from her PhD confirmation (the first major milestone here in Australia); we talk about her research progress and journey from undergraduate nutrition to honours and now full-time candidature including some past RA work. Listen in to find out more. Her order – Skinny Latte. Enjoy

Welcome to the Cook ‘N‘ Goals show, today we talk to Susan Pearse, author, leadership coach and presenter. Once Susan decided to go on a quarter life crisis trip overseas and try and find herself, she completely changed her perspective. Susan brought in the first mindfulness based leadership program to Australia 20 years ago after attending a conference with the Dalai Lama and has been coaching individuals, organisations and teams ever since. Susan and her business partner have written and published 3 books together, and Susan is publishing her 4th book later this year ’Spiritually Loose’. We have a great conversation about mindfulness, time and attention, as well as morning routines. The best thing I took away from this conversation is that, ’What you focus on grows’. Enjoy.
