Suffering and pain are essential to life. You can’t experience true joy and happiness without experiencing sadness, pain, suffering, loss and all those other shitty feelings we try to run away from. It’s inevitable, at some stage in our lives, we’ll be forced to go through the suffering in order to get out the other side a better person.

This week I talk through the realisation I had about dealing with trauma and why I think it's our responsibility and ours only to heal ourselves of whatever trauma we've experienced whether it's at fault of someone else or self inflicted.

As always, thanks for being here and coming along on this journey!

He was just a kid from Ballan who became Stone Cold Steve Moxon in the fight world (not to mention a 2x World Champion Kickboxer as well). But to his community at the gym he's Steve. I always love chatting with this because his stories are never ending and he can turn any serious topic into a fun one and in this episode we talk about what it takes to become a professional fighter and why it's also important to say no just as much as it is to say yes.

Here's the truth: you will always feel worthless when you look for others to tell you that you’re good enough. If we are constantly seeking and chasing validation from other people or things, we'll be left hungry and seeking nourishment from everything that is outside of ourselves. 

In today's episode I talk from personal experiences and breakdown why we tend to feel worthless and why we place so much value on other people's opinions rather than putting that kind of value on our own opinions or beliefs.

I met Lauren two years ago and she is someone who has had to overcome a lot of health issues in the two years I have known her. Her battle with Lyme disease after being diagnosed at the age of 23 has led Lauren down some dark places, but through her many ups and downs it has also lead her to find her true purpose in life which is to educate people about Lyme disease and help young people see that a body does not define you. Now a published author (and self proclaimed comedian) she shares her story of the highest of highs and lowest of lows.

Everyone experiences fear at some point in their lives.
Fear is one of those topics I love to explore because it's often the thing that holds us back from unleashing our full potential. Growth begins at the end of our comfort zone so how do stop allowing our deepest and darkest fears take control of our lives and instead start embracing them and overcoming them?
