The You Project

I have a body but l'm not a body. I think things, know things, believe things and want things but l'm not thought, not knowledge, not a belief and not a goal. And of course I do things, own things, achieve things and create things but neither am I an action, possession, achievement or an outcome. And in the middle of all the things I'm not, there I am. Who I am to you, is not who I am to my mum, not who I am to my friend, not who l am to a stranger and not who I am to me. Identity is indeed a slippery construct and in this episode with Dr. Lillian, we solve no problems, and answer no age-old questions, but we do have an interesting conversation. Enjoy.

Today I put my Exercise Scientist hat on and talk about some of the myths, mistakes, misconceptions and common misunderstandings people have about exercise. And of course, I share some general thoughts, suggestions and overall recommendations (but no personal prescription, of course).

Hi Team, I'm tied up with grown-up things today, so l have decided to share a (very) brief episode that I recorded last year for 'LIFE' about the opportunities, growth, insights and benefits (yes, benefits) that can accompany failure. Consider it a mini coaching session. See you tomorrow.

At 43, Nicole Liddell had never been to University, didn't know the difference between an undergraduate and post-graduate degree, was a single mum of three (still is), was living below the poverty line and struggling to feed her kids, was navigating numerous psychological, emotional and physiological issues, was a victim of domestic violence, had very little self-esteem, self-worth, self-belief or confidence, and to say that her future wasn't looking bright, would have been a massive understatement. Well, now she's completing her PhD in Psychology, she's not broke, she's lost 35kgs, life is very different, she's very different and this was a conversation that many of you will find encouraging and uplifting.

Hi Team, up to my blurry eyeballs today (Saturday as I type) in PhD writing, so today we’re revisiting an episode from a while back, that was very well received. See you on the morrow with a freshie. *Treading water. Spinning our metaphoric wheels. Stuck in a Groundhog Day of mediocrity, dissatisfaction and frustration. Wasted time, talent and energy. Thinking, habits, behaviours, rituals and fears that keep us trapped in a prison of our own making. This episode is a workshop (of sorts) about stepping up, breaking through and getting unstuck. Enjoy.

Not sure what's happening at TYP Central but boy, we've been having some very real, organic, unplanned and vulnerable conversations lately. We go in with an idea of what we might talk about and end up somewhere totally different. We plan for Sydney but end up in Perth. In this episode, the emotional curtain gets pulled right back and Tiff and I talk about her ‘motorbike riding buddy’ who’s “definitely not her boyfriend” (ahem..), living in an emotional, psychological, behavioural, and/or sociological box, thought cults, having an awareness and consciousness bigger than us, the impossibility of being (totally) objective, and for some strange reason, the two least-qualified people in the world, decide to dispense some relationship advice.

(*Read the following synopsis in a cheesey radio voice for optimal effect)... Are all politicians psychopaths? Can ice baths 'treat' addiction? Has Gillespo ever ridden a motor bike? Why are Aussies becoming more distrusting? Is honesty a dying quality? Is it prudent to assume that people could be lying? All this (and more) in today's riveting instalment of (make your internal voice cheesier and a bit echo-ey.. the You (you, you) Project (project, project).

What is the relationship between the situation we find ourselves in, and our experience in the middle of that situation? How much of our experience is created by the situation, and how much is created by us? My friend Joel Sardi does life from a wheelchair. He has a C5 spinal cord injury, no feeling from the chest down, some use of his arms, limited motor skills with his hands, a myriad of other physiological and practical challenges and in the middle of what is (from the outside looking in) a highly-undesirable situation (navigating life with quadriplegia), Joel is as happy, or happier, than most people I meet.

Wow, this episode was an unexpectedly deep conversation and we opened all the doors; spirituality, psychology, emotions, religion and sociology. I even gave Tiff a mini coaching and feedback session mid-podcast (at her request). The title will make sense once you listen. Enjoy.
