Weekdays

World Hearing Day is on the 3rd of March and Bec had the privilege of speaking to Lize Coetzee who is the Head of the Lions Hearing Clinic. They spoke about what the main cause of deafness is. But hearing loss can effect people's self confidence in everyday life. Lize gave some good tips into how we can help someone who has a hearing disability and how we can make them feel more comfortable. 

Australian parents are calling for tougher restrictions on e-cigarettes in an effort to reduce uptake in teens, as research shows half of parents support a total ban on the supply, sale and use of all products in Australia. Bec had a chat with paediatrician, Dr. Anthea Rhodes and she discussed the effects that e-cigarettes and vaping has on teenager's health and it was found that 60 people have already died from e-cigarettes and vaping. 

Did you know that Tourettes Syndrome is not a mental disorder and not a retardation but is a neurological disorder? Dave Brebner is a TAFE teacher who has Tourettes and is currenlty studying the education of neuro science. Bec spoke to Dave about how he has overcome his struggle with this disorder and how people can overcome their struggle when Tourettes interfere with their career. 

Bec had a chat with Danielle Jeyaratnam who is a pastor at Hillsongs and today they spoke about confidence and who we should have confidence in our lives. If we are confident we can pass that confidence onto our children. But as women we tend to bring ourselves down and critisize our choices. Sometimes we might not feel like we are good enough but we are! We need to be kind to ourselves. The Bible says in Hebrews 10 "Do not cast off your confidence becasue it has rich rewards" When we are confident in what we do we will reap great rewards. And in 2 Timothy 1 it says, "For God did not give us a spirit of fear and timidity but of power and love and a sound mind". 

Bec spoke to Amanda from Kin Woman and they spoke about Amanda's new book, "Dear Creative Self". The power of the creative process is to spark new ideas. Some people say they are not writers but we write every day, be it on social media or sending a text message to someone. Our life is a letter but the way we write it and what we write will determine our creativity. Creativity is about the input and the creative process. We are creative people, God designed us to be creative. We can take something and make it creative. Creativity tends to bring satisfaction to those who foster it. 

Within her book she talks about the seven spheres of the creative process. These spheres are:

1. Emotional Wellbeing

2. Connection and Collaboration

3. Rest and Sleep

4. Technology

5. Innovation

6. Pioneering

7. Spirituality and a Sense of Purpose

Bec had the privilege of speaking to Kenny who is the lead singer of Birds of Tokyo and they spoke about their upcoming tour.

Bec had a chat with Scott Phillips who is from Kidsafe WA and they spoke about hot cars. The main points that Scott covered in this chat are:

1.     We recognise that farms are great environments for children to grow up on or experience.

2.       We also know that farms are also work sites with many machines or animals present.

3.       We know that many of the children injured on farms are visitors to the farm, limited experience.

4.       There are some specific dangers and ways to limit the risks

Also this is the link to our Farm Safety animation if that helps with Social media.
