This week Kelly and Carly discuss why we're all so afraid of going backwards. RE-starting a project, re-painting a wall, driving back home to get something we forgot. 

Why are we all so afraid of going backwards? 

Topics discussed - 

* The lost art of going backwards 

* Is going backwards seen as being pedantic? 

* Do we connect our productivity to our self-worth? 

* Can we change the way we think about our time? ... For more info on Kelly and Carly, and to see any links or resources mentioned in today’s episode, head over to   www.straightandcurly.com  or come join the  Straight and Curly group on Facebook .

Just a warning this episode is a touch on the heavy side. It’s about death, a subject we don’t often give much space too, particularly in Western Cultures. 
This week I have guest Jackey Coyle, author of In The End, A Practical Guide to Dying on the show to talk about all things… well… death. 
Jackey is a writer and researcher who wrote her beautiful book in collaboration with Fernlea, a palliative care facility. 
In this episode, we talk about death, preparing for death and how to help loved ones in their final hours.
Don’t forget that Jackey’s book is available on Booktopia - it’s called In The End, a Practical Guide for Dying - https://www.booktopia.com.au/in-the-end-jackey-coyle/ebook/9780645214611.html

A Practical Guide To Dying

One thing I don’t talk about much in my work is sex. Not for any particular reason, it’s just not something that’s high on my list of priorities to research and form opinions on. However, I have lots of listeners who have asked about sex therapy so I’ve got Isiah McKimmie on the show to well, talk about sex! 
She is ridiculously qualified, with a masters degree in Relational Psychotherapy, a masters degree in Science in Medicine(Sexual Counselling/Psychosexual and a Post-Graduate Diploma of Sexology just to name a few. She’s Australia’s most qualified relationship and intimacy specialist and in this episode she gives excellent advice on sex, couples therapy and how to get the intimacy you crave in life.

Let's Talk About Sex with Isiah McKimmie

I’m a sucker for time-saving tips. If there’s someone on Instagram who’s like ‘Oh here’s a hack that will save you time!’ I’m like ‘Go on. I’m listening.’

I am absolutely delighted to have Amantha Imber of Inventium and How I Work podcast. If you’ve never listened to How I Work get it in your ears she has some mega high profile guests including Micheal Mosley, Abbi Jacobson from Broad City and other very amazing people.
 
Amantha has a new book out called Time Wise and she’s on the show to talk about it today.

Ultimate Time Saving Tips from Amantha Imber

We chose this book because it has a weird controversial reputation. 
It's kind of a guide for manipulating people but the author Robert Greene seems really legit and actually very smart so we are deeply confused. 
Join us as we dissect this thoroughly strange, contradictory, quite alarming book.

Self Improvement Bookclub - The 48 Laws of Power

The inspiration for this episode came from a newsletter I sent a few weeks ago about quiet resilience. 
I had so much feedback for an expansion of my thoughts so I put it all in a podcast for you! 
I see you, I know this is hard. You're brilliant. x
