What a coo for the Chatters they managed to interview the extraordinary interviewer – Sean Croxton.  Sean began his life as an interviewer with his podcast Underground Wellness, he reached the peak of his career in that space and then walked away from the health realm to move into self help and personal development.  His change was that he understand that there were many modalities to healing, but he noticed that those that healed had a lot to do with their mind and positivity.  He followed his passion and has managed to secure himself as the most informed interviewer about his guest.  He also has interviewed the best in the self help space.  In this interview Sean tells The Chatters about a year of learning and what he learnt about an industry and about himself.

9 Strangers set off on an adventure around Namibia and Botswana. They tell of their time in ‘this is Africa” where time slows down, no one is in a hurry and small planes are fixed with gaffe tape.

8 people plus Cyndi venture on an Up For A Chat 2018 adventure to Africa.  After 2 weeks of fun, laughs, learnings and mishaps Cyndi decides to ask them why they came, what they learnt and what was there favorite part of the trip.  It’s surprising that some of the guests wanted to change what they were doing in their own lives.  It’s a fun filled hour, with a few tears, lessons and most of all unbelievable respect for each other after being with each other 24/7.

Cyndi has just arrived home from the Annual Up For A Chat hike and adventure from Namibia and Botswana.  Carren and Kim have so many questions, about the highlights, but the conversation flows to what we learn when we travel and put ourselves in places that are foreign to western society.  Cyndi has travelled through remote areas meeting the Himba’s and San Bushman of Namibia as well as the Kalhari Bush People.  It’s an adventure not to be missed.

Carren and Kim talk about Pressure?  Is it a distortion of time?  We all have 24 hours, but some seem to be under more pressure than others.  It’s usually because we have everything riding on what we have planned and time doesn’t work for us.  Physically, mental and emotionally can all be affected when we are under pressure.  Small bursts are fine, but continuous can be an issue.  Kim and Carren discuss pressure and how they handle it in their life using, organization, rituals, healthy food, yoga, meditation, breathing to name a few listen in on this informative podcast.

The Up For A Chatters are in fine form with the handsome Darryl Edwards.  Darryl hails from London and his story from corporate financial life to the founder of Primal Play is where the podcast starts.  Now his office is outside, traveling the world teaching people about Primal Play.  Darryl became interested in leading a healthier lifestyle when suffering from an array of lifestyle issues (chronic hypertension, pre-diabetes and elevated cardiovascular disease risk). Seeing amazing results from his lifestyle changes, Darryl quit his career as an IT consultant in Investment Banking and re-trained as a Personal Trainer and clinical nutritionist with a focus on natural movement and food for health. His passion is to share his knowledge and experience with others.

His new book Animal Moves combines cardio, resistance and agility exercises to boost power, conditioning and flexibility. It’s an all-in-one playout. Instead of spending 30 min on an exercise bike, 30 min doing weights and 30 min on the treadmill, you can combine it all into one single workout in a much shorter space of time.
