CONNECT WITH DAVID

On today’s podcast we have David Knoff. David is a specialist in remote leadership, management in isolation, Antarctic operations, resilience and mental health strategies. He has worked for 15 years in the Australian Army and in international relations with the Australian Government. He is a speaker and author of 537 Days of Winter which is a beautiful memoir that explores his mental limits as an expedition and station leader for the Australian Antarctic Program. 

What I love about this conversation is David’s strong leadership that is founded in the energy of strategy, humanity and getting the best outcome for both the program and people involved. He shares his mental and emotional experiences of spending 537 Days as a station leader in Antarctica and the challenges that come along the way in combination of remote leadership during a global pandemic.

Please enjoy this fascinating conversation with David.

CONNECT WITH Melissa

On today’s podcast we have Melissa Roberts. Melissa is a journalist covering China for Time Magazine during the years of the Tiananmen Square uprising, has worked as a staff correspondent for The Australian, reported on federal politics from the Press Gallery, and has covered Singapore and Australia for Newsweek Magazine. She is the co-editor of the books, ‘The Beijing Bureau’ and her most recent book, ‘Through Her Eyes: Australia’s Women Correspondents from Hiroshima to Ukraine.

What I personally love about this conversation is Melissa’s authentic passion surrounding the transformation and somewhat liberation of women in media. Melissa speaks to women taking their rightful place in the male-dominated industry; a true advocate for women and diversity in media. In this episode we explore the idea that, ‘when you only hear from men, you only hear half the story’. Please enjoy this conversation with Melissa.

CONNECT WITH SARAH

On today’s podcast we have Sarah Davis. Sarah, a former risk and project manager in banking, is an award winning adventurer who became the first woman to lead an expedition down the world’s longest river, the Nile, over a period of 176 days and over 4,000km.

What I love about this conversation is Sarah’s journey from leading a life she proclaims was ‘less ordinary’ in corporate, to deciding to make a change. Sarah puts this down to her innate pull to not settling, which influenced me to reflect, where in my life, where are you in your life, settling? The story from corporate to adventure, is one that is becoming more commonplace these days, but there remain still, people, some I daresay listeners of the To Be Human Podcast, that are yet to take the leap and give themselves permission to seek out their fulfilment and sense of aliveness. Sarah describes her journey as physically demanding, emotionally draining and mentally enlightening, and if you ask me, that is a life worth living! Be inspired and enjoy this conversation with Sarah.

CONNECT WITH ERIC
Website | https://ericteplitz.com 

On today’s podcast we have the lovely Eric Teplitz. Eric is a personal coach who is passionate about helping others open themselves up to a more expansive sense of what is possible and achieving a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life.

What I love about this conversation is Eric’s purity shown through his articulated vulnerability and ownership. He has had a good go at passions in his life that haven’t necessarily resulted in what he dreamt, and it is a refreshing conversation to hear straight from Eric how this has affected him and what he has learnt and integrated moving forward. There is a lot of focus on chasing your dreams and achieving one’s goals, but what is it like to actually do everything you can and still not get there? When do we know when to persist and when do we know when to let go and try something new? 

Enjoy this conversation with Eric.

CONNECT WITH RAJA
Website | https://integralsomaticpsychology.com/raja-selvam-phd 

On today’s podcast we have Raja Selvam. Raja is a licensed clinical psychologist and the developer of Integral Somatic Psychology; a complementary therapeutic approach based on affective neuroscience and the emerging paradigm of embodied cognition, emotion, and behaviour in cognitive neuroscience and psychology. He is the author of the book, ‘The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Method for Improving Cognitive, Emotional and Behavioural Outcomes.

What I love about this episode is Raja’s passionate generosity of in-depth teaching and reflection. This episode is certainly more of a lecture than a conversation and I am personally grateful to have received such a wealth of insight directly from the source. He is certainly a psychologist that practises and embodies what he teaches, and it is a privilege to have him here with us at To Be Human. Please enjoy this episode where we touch on your cognitive, emotional, behavioral, physical, energetic, relational, and even spiritual life, with Raja.

What I love about this podcast is Brigid’s clarity around the philosophy of Stoicism. She breaks down the developmental components of the Stoics into practical applications for modern day living. We discuss how to approach uncertainty and death, and how to experience a balanced state of mind and experience a sense of liberation. Please enjoy this episode with Brigid.

Website | https://coreywilkspsyd.com 

On today’s podcast we have Corey Wilks. Corey is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of psychological experience, Executive Coach, writer, entrepreneur and contributor for Psychology Today. 

What I love about this conversation is Corey’s no holds barred authenticity. He is a straight to the point, living on the edge of convention kind of guy which is extremely refreshing. We discuss the topic of freedom, the importance of getting clear on your core value, and The Four Horseman of Fear that are holding you back from living the life you truly desire.

Corey poses the questions: What do you give a shit about and why do you give a shit about it? He shares that most people die in mediocrity and die regretting it, which flows onto the topic of mortality and how we can use the inevitability of death to live fully.

Please enjoy this conversation with Corey.

CONNECT WITH JESSIE
Website | https://jessie-cole.com 

On today’s podcast we have Jessie Cole. Jessie is a notable writer having written an acclaimed memoir, ‘Staying’ on surviving the suicide of her loved ones and how she came to heal, and her more recent book, ‘Desire: A Reckoning’ based on a the thrilling exploration of the very nature of desire.

What I love about this conversation is Jessie’s vulnerability, strength and commitment to self-expression. Experiencing a somewhat numbing of the body and silence of the mind, Jessie has found her power through writing and speaking on the topics that culturally we tend to steer clear of. In this conversation we explore desire, the relationship between love and attachment, and the process of coming to feel safe in your own body. We also speak to the silence around suicide and the consequential grief that those close to them experience, and how others courage through fear can help the healing of those left in pain. 

Please enjoy this conversation with Jessie.

CONNECT WITH BILL
Website | https://www.williambirvine.com 

On today’s podcast we have Bill Irvine. Bill holds a PHD in Philosophy and is a Philosophy Professor who not only teaches, thinks and writes about philosophy, but has adopted a philosophy of living known as Stoicism. He is the author of the book, ‘A Guide To The Good Life’.

What I love about this conversation is Bill’s ease in speaking about philosophy and particularly Stoicism as a way of life. At times academics can show up in a somewhat pretension and Bill certainly doesn’t do this, and I think it's because he genuinely practises what he preaches. He’s extremely passionate about making Stoicism available for everyone to at least try, at least apply, and see if you too can reap the benefits that he has. Stoicism is all about living a life of equanimity, meaning to be calm and maintain your emotions during difficult situations. Bill shares practical tools, some of which I personally apply in my own life, that can help you to take control of yourself, your reactions, and essentially live what the Stoics believe to be a good life.

Please enjoy this conversation with Bill.
