PS sorry I sound like I'm in a fish bowl must have OD on the salt!  

Faye Lawand talks about helping people on their journey from internal conflict to reaching their full potential. We all have conflict, but some stick like glue, deep in our body and can cause all sorts of problems emotionally, physically and spiritually. I touch on this big subject with Faye. 

During our lock down in NZ I had a chance via zoom (although the recording was not great) to  have the pleasure of speaking to Sharron Rose.   Sharron has so many words of wisdom we could have talked all day.  She is an author, film maker, teacher, practitioner and healer;  the list goes on.  We chat about courage to be who you are and how the world needs an energetic climate change, an inner one and how the world is changing and people are starting to be ready to tackle their emotions.

With years and years of experience in teaching, researching, writing etc Sharron is an absolute gem and leaves the world a better place each day.

Healing is the key and the media is fear, fear, fear this is the perfect time for people to take their healing into their own hands instead of perhaps getting a pill!

Today we talk about a simple basic example of corruption and how it can happen and the need for any type of organisation to talk about it openly. 
Perhaps you have found yourself in an awkward or serious situation where a person you work with or a friend acts inappropriately and does something when you are with them.  This has then naturally involved you and you are now entwined in their web.  
The innocent party (you) is then forced to make a decision about whether to go along with the person who has started doing or has done something that is not professional, may be criminal or is against company or organisational guidelines, policies and procedures and/or ethically or morally wrong.  Usually it is detrimental to another human being eg. Bullying, assaulting, harassing, misleading, coercing or whatever the case maybe.  
In this podcast I talk about how corruption can stem in an organisation and how at the time of someone’s action there is a reaction and your reaction from their action. Yes it gets complicated but there is no sitting on the fence here; because that in itself is an action. 

It is a big problem these days where loneliness takes over and before you know it you are being a victim of a scammer.  It is not only costly financially but above all emotionally.  Unfortunately it is an easy thing for professional individuals and circles of “monsters” to prey on those that they know are weak.  Just like in nature humans are prey; the hunted at times.  Half the time these people don’t even meet their alleged “lover”.  If things sound too good, need I say more....
Talk to others and listen and report; before it’s too late.  Violence on women is still strong just in different ways.

There’s a struggle that happens internally for a lot of people.  It makes their temperatures increase and their anxiety heighten. .  It is when they are asked a question;  one that they already know the answer to but for some strange reason the answer that they want to say often comes out the opposite.  Yes this is about the biggest little word - No.

This is part 2 of Walking on the Wild Side which was inspired from when Ollie spent 8 days alone on Stewart Island.  

We talk about the birds and do some stupid impersonations and do endeavour to make sure there is never a serious moment.  

Make sure you have a kookaburra moment in life as sometimes everything gets too serious.  

I didn't want to break the news to him but he really sounded more like a turkey.  

The purpose of this short podcast is to smile and laugh and not take yourself too seriously as life really is too short.

So bird lovers please forgive us; this is not serious; if in doubt laugh like a kookaburra at least once a day loud and proud!

Ever thought what it would be like to see no one for 8 days?  In this podcast I talk to Ollie about his interaction with only nature; which is one of his favourite things.  We chat about the benefits and how nature really soothes  us in this busy world.  Don’t expect anything too serious; we are on a joy mission as we endeavour to impersonate the kookaburra; so bird lovers please forgive us; this is not serious; if in doubt laugh like a kookaburra.

In this podcast I have a conversation rather nervously with voice coach Sally Prosser who is an ex broadcaster and has years of experience in voice.  She is not a singing teacher but she is someone who everyone could gain from getting to know.  Whether you want to improve your professional communication or have to give a speech, going to an interview, managing people or just want to feel heard.  She also assists organisations to improve their results by helping their employees communicate better... 

Sarah was always into dancing but felt she was never up to speed and would never be a prima ballerina.  She went in and out of dance and her body, mind and spirit knew dance is where her heart throbbed. However she always felt it wasn’t quite working; she wasn’t quite right, it wasn’t working.  She knew she wasn’t going to be a ballet dancer in front of the world stage; yet this feeling of failure nearly made her miss out on her dancing passion..  Every time she saw dancers, went to a show she got the call back and knew she had to do something about it. Then  Sarah discovered pole dancing and also discovered that it was a calling; to give up her “normal” job and go inspire others to move; no matter what size, what background and to embrace we are not perfect but that’s what makes us unique.  Sarah inspires us to move more than just our bodies; she gets joy in helping others move out of our comfort zone.
