Did you know there’s a phase that hibernating animals go through as they emerge from hibernation? It’s a time of gradually getting back into their usual activities, but slowly. As we emerge from our own hibernation periods (hello, the world’s longest lock down!) we would be very wise not to skip this step. In today’s episode I offer some suggestions for emerging from times of withdrawal or reduced activity, well.

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss (PAIL) Remembrance Month and 15th October is PAIL Day. In this week’s episode, I speak with Clare Chambers as she shares the story of her first pregnancy which ended in the stillbirth of her precious daughter, Skye, at 35 weeks. We talk about how Clare grieved, and continues to grieve, this devastating loss, the reactions of her friends and family, and how she managed to keep a loving connection with her body. Clare also shares some vital information for pregnant people to be aware of, to reduce the risk of stillbirth and support a healthy pregnancy and birth, as well as suggestions for how we can support loved ones who have experienced a miscarriage, still birth or neonatal death.

It’s a longer episode than usual, but this is not a conversation to be rushed. 

Clare refers to a number of support services she’s found helpful and would recommend:

https://stillaware.org - Stillbirth awareness, education and prevention

https://preventstillbirth.org.au - Take the stillbirth promise to end preventable stillbirth

https://www.sands.org.au - Miscarriage, stillbirth and newborn death support

https://rednose.org.au - Research, support and education for ending baby and infant death

https://heartfelt.org.au - Giving the gift of professional photos to families who have experienced stillbirth or have children with life threatening illness.

‘Trust your gut’ or ‘Listen to your body’ sound like great ideas! But what happens when your body (including your gut) is constantly sounding the alarm that you’re under threat, even when you’re not? Tuning into your intuition can be really difficult when your anxiety is constantly scrambling the messages. Today we talk about how to distinguish between intuition and anxiety, and what you can do to quieten your anxiety to give more space for your intuition to speak.

Today I’m offering a shift of focus from what you’re going to do, to how you’re going to be. Sometimes we can be all about the to-do list, or achieving a particular goal, without giving attention (or intention) to how we want to be along the way. And this can lead to completing tasks or achieving outcomes, but winding up with a sense of dissatisfaction about how the experience felt, or the kind of person we became in the process. 

Pausing to consider and set intention for how we want to be in a day, a project, a conversation or a challenge, can be hugely grounding and very rewarding. Have a listen, and give it a go.

Today I’m sharing about the time I Pavlov-ed myself, and then coined the phrase, ‘Pavlov yourself!’ :D   When I found myself in a situation that I couldn’t change, but was regularly causing me stress, I did an experiment to see if I could change my conditioned response to the situation. And it turns out it worked! Listen to my story, and learn how you too can ‘Pavlov yourself!’

The ancient wisdom of Ayurveda teaches that nature is made up of five states: earth, water, fire, air and ether, and that different combinations of these form the doshas, Kapha, Pitta and Vata. You may have heard that each one of us has a particular type, made up of these doshas, but did you know that the doshas also govern different times of day? In this episode, we look at the Ayurvedic clock and how we might optimise our energy and wellbeing by aligning with these times. This is a great way of living any time, and I’ve found it especially helpful for providing some structure to my days during lockdown.

My friend and colleague, Kathy Peterson, and I just finished our first ever round of Project 333. It involves limiting your wardrobe to 33 items for three months. In this episode we chat about why we decided to do it, how the reality stacked up against our expectations, and the unexpected benefits of the experience. If you’re interested in living with less, reducing decision fatigue, or just trying something different, this could be for you. Have a listen as we chat through our experience and whether we’ll be doing it again.

Any time is a good time to get in touch with your menstrual cycle. But lockdown provides a unique landscape against which to witness your inner seasons. When you’re pretty much living groundhog day, you can really notice the ebbs and flows of your energy, motivation, mindset and mood. In today’s episode I talk about using the sameness of your lockdown days to observe the shifts in your menstrual cycle. You can, of course, still apply this if you’re not in lockdown. And if you’re not a menstruator, you can still witness your internal shifts, and give yourself permission to accept and flow with them, rather than struggling against them.

In this episode, I refer to the amazing documentary ‘In My Blood It Flows’ which is currently on Netflix. It’s a heartwarming and heart-wrenching insight into the life of an Aboriginal boy and his family, and some of the systemic issues  in our education system. 

Please go watch it and learn what you can.

Life is both awful and beautiful, devastating and joyful, bitter and sweet. In today’s episode I talk about embracing life’s bittersweetness and finding the exquisite richness in that. Rather than being overwhelmed with the suffering in this life, or ignoring it completely to pretend everything’s fine, what is it like for us to be present for all of it, one moment to the next, and perhaps sometimes all in a single moment?

We don’t have to spend a fortune on books, webinars, courses and mentors to develop as leaders. There are lessons all around us all the time, if we’ll pay attention. In this episode I talk about observing and emulating qualities of leaders we respect, as well as learning from and avoiding replicating those we don’t. Rather than just reacting with admiration, comparison or judgment, why not use our observations to grow as humans and as leaders? 

In this episode, I refer to NITV
