Season 1 Finale!

Sally's questions were:  

1.  You and I have both spent a lot of time both professionally and personally reflecting, identifying and understanding our values. I recently spoke to a friend with a very different lived experience who said ‘she would not have a clue where to start' – what advice would you give to someone wanting to start identifying and realising their values?    

2  In your view – what are the pros and cons of having a clear understanding of your values, purpose and goals?    

3.  As a parent – do you think that there is more emphasis on young people now to understand who they are, what they value and have intent about where they are going?    

4.  Having courage denotes that there is an absence of fear but in my experience, it’s having the courage and accepting the presence of the fear… can you share your experiences of displaying courage despite fear?    

5.  What are your top 5 tips for living a happy and healthy life which pivots on your values?

1 Guest Louise McMilan

5 Questions

All Live!

Louise's questions were:

1.  We hear the phrase ‘role model’ more and more these days.  I think more so than when I was growing up.  Has there been a role model who has helped shape your values or purpose? 

2.  When it comes to values two people can share the same value, however, have different meanings for it.  Have you experience that and what was the impact.  

3.  Did you have a major life change that impacted your values and purpose?  

4.  There feels more pressure towards young adults to have life figured out sooner.  How far into your life did you acknowledge what your purpose was in life and took the steps towards it? 

5..  For anyone listening who may be experiencing some challenges with family, friends or colleagues who hold different values or dismissing their purpose in life.  What is your experience or advice to help them?

1. What can we learn about the human experience from (recognising) the mind-body connection?

2. What telltale signs do you associate with someone’s mind-body being out of balance?

3. In the current climate of uncertainty, lack of connection and control over our futures, what practices have you found helpful to manage your stress levels and remain positive?

5. A good example of the mind-body connection is the quote by Gabor Mate, “If you don’t know how to say no, your body will say it through physical illness”. What is your take on this?
