Your Revolution

For the month of June we will be delivering 2 episodes of the Your Revolution Podcast a week to celebrate the awesome women we have all around us.

Tune in every Monday and Friday in June.

Every day I discuss costs with people. The cost of education, of training, of healthy food, of betterment, learning, growth health. Does the cost stop you from taking action?

What about the cost of inaction? Of illness? Of dissatisfaction? Of a life whittled away by missed opportunities?

We're here to live big lives. To be happy, have experiences and make an impact.

Stop sitting on the sidelines.

Stop making excuses.

Pay the price or pay the price.

You choose.

Time. Money. Effort. Energy. Regret.

What is it really costing?

Meet Brady Walker. Dad, husband, trainer, coach, business owner. While he has a lot on his plate and balancing them all in itself is impressive! It isn't even about what he does but rather it's how he does it that makes him extraordinary.

Brady is one of those people you meet who has that "it". The "x" factor. That zest for life that just makes you feel good and want to be better.

Energetic, passionate, driven and so much fun, Brady cannot help but inspire and influence. And today's podcast you get to hear how he does. How he balances all of his responsibilities and priorities and how he still every, single day strives to be better.

The Your Revolution Podcast is about inspiring you to live a life that excites you. To approach the life you have with energy and passion, and to give you the courage to make changes if you are not. Brady Walker is the Your Revolution Podcast. He's changing the health, fitness and lives of so many people every day and he's doing it with care, intention and so much passion.

Thank you Brady, you've changed my life for sure.

What does it take to be one of the best in the world in one sport? Then what about two sports? Meet Matt Murphy. Previously one of the best triathletes in the world and now top 10 Obstacle Course Racer, Matt is a rare breed of superstar. Passion, drive and determination oozes out of him as he normalises a life of pushing his absolute limits.

Matt is the perfect person to feature on the Your Revolution Podcast as he has absolutely created an extraordinary life for himself. He won't settle and daily he chooses to better himself in every way. Driven by the desire to be the best Dad and husband he can be, as well as continually fight for everything he can, Matt shows us all what we are actually capable of.

Currently chasing top 3 in the world for OCR (Obstacle Course Racing), Matt is also a business owner. As the director of Bright Bootcamps, Matt runs a successful training business in the beautiful Alpine region of Bright in Victoria's north. Bright Bootcamps is currently expanding into a custom built facility that will host not only the daily training of his clients but also a range of specific camps for people looking to take their training and fitness to the next level.

Matt Murphy is one in a billion. We all have so much to learn from this incredible man and we are so excited to welcome him to the podcast.

So often we say we don't have time or we're too busy, but all we're really saying is that it is not enough of a priority for us.

Priority is the centre point of time, energy and effort allocation. And if by analysing your schedule you feel like the allocation is off, then this is your cue to create change.

Our brains try to keep us safe and to our brains change is unsafe. But what about a life whereby you live by someone else's priorities? Or worse still priorities set for you by society? How safe is that?

The only question you need to ask is what is important to you? And how is your schedule reflecting and supporting this?

If your health is a priority, make time for it. If the love of your life is a priority, make time for them, engage with them, show them love, through your energy and enthusiasm as well as your time. Work taking up too much of your time? How productive are you actually being? And what about those kids? Number 1 priority? Yet you're stuck at work and grouchy and tired all the time as a result, not to mention ashamed of your body and disappointed in yourself so of course you snap at them constantly. That's not priority. That's turning the joys of your life into chores because you lack pride in the place that you are in.

What kind of life are you allowing for yourself by sacrificing your priorities for what you think you "should" be doing?

Want this to change? Then take notes on this one.

Meet Hayden Quinn. At just 30 years of age, Hayden has shown us what passion and hard work can do. Years ago he starred on Masterchef, but since then he has created TV shows, written books, opened a gym and inspired millions of people through education, insight and excitement about how they can live their best life.

Hilarious, natural and so driven, Hayden is a total game-changer. I sat through the interview amazed at the passion of this Aussie-guy-next-door. I learnt so much from his attitude, his perseverance and his energy.

Hayden isn't a success today because of Masterchef 8 years ago. Hayden is a success because he chooses to be every day. He works hard and sometimes he struggles, but none of it has been handed to him and it's his attitude and work ethic that keeps seeing him climb.

What I want for this podcast is for you to realise that his story isn't a fairytale of luck but it's a story that shows us that we can do anything we want. We don't need to wait for perfect conditions to start we just have to start. And once we start that's when the magic really begins. The process of our life is our life and the longer you put everything on hold because the conditions aren't perfect, the further away your life gets.

So with that being said I hope you enjoy todays episode with Hayden as much as I enjoyed recording it for you.

I guess you could say haters are gonna hate. But what can we do about it?

This week on the Your Revolution Podcast, Jane Erbacher talks about criticism. Where does it come from and what can we do when it's directed at us?

It's clear the majority of time that when criticism comes our way it's not even about us. It's a reflection of insecurity and it's usually within the context of our deeply ingrained tall poppy syndrome. But does that help when we feel under attack? And when we are, what can we do?

Have a listen to find out how you can stand up for yourself and how you can stop the movement of jealousy and hate.

This week on the Your Revolution Podcast, Jane Erbacher speaks with Eliza Paschke.

Eliza is a bright, bubbly, enthusiastic and fun 30 year old with what seems to be a carefree life. But Eliza's story is one that many of us can relate to. For years Eliza has battled with anxiety and depression and at her lowest could barely leave the house.

This conversation is open and honest and really tackles some of the most relevant issues affecting our society today.

We underestimate the courage it takes to talk truthfully about our lives and I am so grateful to Eliza for sharing her experience. We can all learn something from each others story and I hope so much that Eliza's story leaves an impact on you and inspires you to change the conversation around mental illness.

Choice starts with the acknowledgement that everything you want is within your reach. Choice starts with what. It continues with how. And it survives with why. Deciding what you want, taking the ongoing action to achieve it and understanding why it is important to you. Every single day. Is it always easy? No. Is it always worth it? Yes. What's stopping you? Fear. How can you change it? By choosing to. Simple in theory. Nearly impossible in practice. But that is what life is all about. Choosing to be better. Choosing to open yourself up. Choosing to take risks. Choosing to grow. Choosing to pick yourself up after mistakes. Choosing not to settle for a life that is less than you deserve. I choose to love my life. I choose to surround myself with people who build me up and make me better. I choose to work hard, get uncomfortable, strive to be the best I can and I hope that this episode of the Your Revolution Podcast inspires you to do the same.

What drives someone to persevere when their entire identity is in tatters? This is the question that this weeks episode of the Your Revolution podcast asks Lee Carseldine. A professional cricketer who saw a terrible back injury rob him in his prime shares with us the resilience he developed in order to overcome his career ending set back.

Lee is not an ordinary man. He is one of those people you meet who takes set backs as lessons and bounces back stronger than before. He is one of those people we can all learn from and we are so lucky to have him share his story with us.

From professional cricket to studying a double masters, to surviving Survivor and now running a successful business and raising two young boys, Lee has done it all. But it hasn't all been smooth sailing and his story is one that will change your perspective, your attitude and potentially your life.

This weeks Your Revolution podcast is all about overcoming set backs and creating your own strength, both inside and out. Don't miss this opportunity to tune in and create the change necessary to make your life even better.
