The Wholeness Show

In this episode, Jamie Raine and Joey meet to ask three questions each to each other about their journeys, spirituality and faith. We talk about how our faith shaped and shapes our lives, becoming aware of the emptiness that exists in us all, the mind-body-spirit connection, Indiana Jones and The Matrix.

Wholeness cannot be complete without faith, and it's something that's often not shared in the public space. One of the things we most love about Jamie is his openness, and we hope that people from all faiths (and none) can listen in and connect their own sense of meaning in their lives.

Jamie was born in Indonesia, raised in Australia and moved to Phnom Penh to pursue his music and career as an influencer for good, for young people.

In this episode, Nady and Joey reflect on the topic of connection, off the back of Cambodia's first-ever ICF International Coaching Week: 'Vision for Connection in Cambodia'.

We talk about different "levels" of connection - connection to self, connection to others, and connection to the system. We also dip our toes into the topic of levels of consciousness.

In this episode, we’re joined by Helena Yan, a Business School graduate turned Pilates teacher, Yogi, Zumba instructor and a certified life coach. She’s a very international woman, being of Chinese descent but has lived in various across all over the world, and recently arrived in Cambodia a few months ago with her family.

Helena is an accredited Associate Certified Coach under the ICF, one of only three ICF accredited coaches in Cambodia. The ICF is the largest and most reputable accrediting body for professional coaches in the world and represents a group of coaches dedicated to upholding a professional quality and code of ethics. Many coaches train at different schools and learn different approaches (e.g. Sokcheng, who studied with Co-Active Trianing Institute), but these training programs are all accredited to be of sufficient quality by the ICF.

In this conversation, we explore the impact of the body and regular physical activities on shifting our mental, physical and spiritual states, both in the moment but also longer-term. I love how the different stages of personal development that Helena was going through INSIDE was reflected by different EMBODIMENT PRACTICE OUTSIDE that she was inviting into her life – first Pilates, then Yin Yoga then Zumba. And how finally she moved into coaching, training with an MCC, and is now looking to integrate her expertise and experience in these areas. She is passionate about bringing wholeness to her coaching, mind, body and soul. I’m excited to introduce her to you all.
