Perhaps I'm too irritable, but I tire of society trying to fool its members in to believing that they've invented some profound new ideas by giving familiar ones ridiculous names and unnecessarily complicated definitions. Here, I debunk the mind control tactics.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ebony Uamaki. Ebony is a proud mother, intuitive reader, model, coach, speaker, and disability advocate. Ebony is also blind, and it's a testament to her resilience and wisdom that she has overcome the challenges and stigma associated with disability and stands as an inspiration to all.

Raising children will always be perhaps the world's most important job, and it brings joy in to the lives of many. But it also brings with it great responsibilities, including self-regulation, discipline, patience, sacrifice, and empathy. While we may consider becoming a parent to be a natural progression for adults, too many ignore or are unaware of how easy it is to influence their children in undesirable ways that could have consequences for the rest of their adult lives. Ebony and I discuss some of the most important (and sometimes most ignored) issues in the domain, including the need for personal responsibility, informed choice, and conscientiousness in helping children to develop in a psychologically and physically healthy manner.

I'm adamant that enterprise has great potential to be of benefit to society, but all parties involved need to act in good faith and with consideration for each other. Here, I share some thoughts on this.

Welcome to this special collaborative episode of the Your Listener and Eb n Flow podcasts, made especially for the third edition of Podcasthon in 2025. I'm John Cuturilo; I own Your Listener Counselling and host the Your Listener podcast, in Melbourne, Australia. My co-host is Ebony Uamaki; Ebony is a mother, intuitive reader, model, coach, speaker, disability advocate, and host of the Eb n Flow podcast, in Brisbane, Australia.

Podcasthon is a global not-for-profit event in which more than a thousand podcast hosts across the world will host an episode dedicated to a charity of their choice, to raise awareness. Ebony and I have the great pleasure of dedicating this episode to Guide Dogs Australia, a charity who, in collaboration with their state- and territory-based associations, provide assistance services to blind or vision-impaired individuals, including the namesake assistance dogs. As a blind individual and ambassador for Guide Dogs Queensland, Ebony provides us with excellent insight in to the work that the charity does for the community. We encourage you to visit Guide Dogs Australia's website to learn more:

We also encourage you to visit Podcasthon's website and peruse the other podcasts that are participating:

Housekeeping isn't the most exciting topic for most and we often don't give it much thought, but we definitely notice when it's neglected. In reality, anything we do in life can be done with aforethought and conscientiousness, and housekeeping is no different. Here, I share my philosophies and techniques for making housekeeping as effective and efficient as possible, so I spend the most time doing what matters to me.

With the proliferation of progressive slogans in favour of vulnerable groups, we like to think that the days of neglecting and abusing mentally ill and disabled individuals are well behind us. While we've improved significantly in our handling of these issues, there is a real concern that the neglect hasn't disappeared, but rather shows itself in more subtle manifestations.

Do you actually have an "inner child", or is it just one of those pop psychology tropes? In this episode, I explain the true meaning and utility of this idea.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Amey Greenaway, host of the podcast Your Honest Ally. Amey discusses life and personal wellbeing to fulfil her calling of helping people to be their best selves. Here, we discuss the concept of what it means to be deserving. We explore how encouraging people to perceive themselves as worthy is an antidote to suppressed self-esteem, and the boundary at which deserving ends and self-entitlement begins.

Isn't it curious that times were always better in the past, or are better in the present, regardless of the date on which we make the claim? Here's a gentle reminder to be aware of your biases.
