      <title>Lyndon&apos;s legacy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this deeply moving and powerful episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and workplace safety advocate, Jacci Quinlivan, for a conversation that will stay with you long after it ends.</p>
<p>At just 32 years old, Jacci’s life changed forever when she lost her husband Lyndon—her partner, best friend, and the father of their two young children—in a tragic workplace incident that was entirely preventable. In an instant, she was thrust into a reality no one is ever prepared for: navigating grief, loss, and widowhood while raising a young family.</p>
<p>With remarkable courage and honesty, Jacci opens up about that devastating time in her life. She shares the heartbreak of standing beside Lyndon as he was taken off life support, and the promise she made in that moment—that his legacy would live on, and that she would make him proud.</p>
<p>And she has done exactly that.</p>
<p>Through her advocacy, Jacci is transforming unimaginable pain into purpose. Her story is not just her own—it’s a powerful reminder of how quickly life can change, and why safety in the workplace must never be taken for granted. Her message is clear and urgent: every person deserves to return home safely to the people who love them.</p>
<p>Jacci’s newly released book, <i>Endurance</i>, is a testament to resilience, strength, and the human spirit’s capacity to rise, even in the face of profound loss.</p>
<p>🔑 <strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></p>
<ul>
 <li>Jacci’s personal story of love, loss, and life after tragedy</li>
 <li>The life-altering impact of preventable workplace incidents</li>
 <li>Navigating grief and rebuilding life as a young widow</li>
 <li>The promise that sparked a mission: honoring Lyndon’s legacy</li>
 <li>Why workplace safety is everyone’s responsibility</li>
 <li>Turning pain into purpose and advocacy</li>
 <li>Insights from Jacci’s book <i>Endurance</i></li>
</ul>
<p>This is a conversation about love, loss, responsibility, and legacy. It’s about perspective. And ultimately, it’s about what truly matters.</p>

This event led her into the world of widowhood at the young age of 32.

      <title>Allowing emotion</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the path to healing wasn’t about controlling your emotions—but allowing them?</p>
<p>In this insightful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with author, speaker, and coach Manal El-Ramly, who brings a refreshing perspective on anxiety, emotional wellbeing, and personal transformation. With a unique blend of analytical thinking and grounded spiritual wisdom, Manal challenges the traditional idea of “managing” anxiety and instead invites us to transcend it.</p>
<p>At the heart of her work is her powerful 5-4-3-2-1 framework, designed to help individuals reconnect with their Four Bodies—Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Egoic. Through this process, she guides people back to their natural state of worth, freedom, and inner power.</p>
<p>Manal’s warmth, clarity, and humor make this conversation both accessible and transformative. She reminds us that healing doesn’t have to be complicated or heavy—it can be gentle, intuitive, and even liberating.</p>
<p><strong>In This Episode, We Explore:</strong></p>
<ul>
 <li>Why “allowing” emotion is more powerful than resisting it</li>
 <li>The difference between managing anxiety and transcending it</li>
 <li>Understanding the Four Bodies and how they shape our experience</li>
 <li>How Manal’s 5-4-3-2-1 framework creates alignment and clarity</li>
 <li>Letting go of resistance and reconnecting with inner wisdom</li>
 <li>Why healing can be simpler—and lighter—than we’ve been led to believe</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></p>
<ul>
 <li>Emotions are not problems to fix, but signals to understand</li>
 <li>True transformation happens when we stop fighting ourselves</li>
 <li>Alignment across mind, body, and identity unlocks real freedom</li>
 <li>You already have the wisdom you’re seeking—it's about learning to listen</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Memorable Quote:</strong><br><i>"The moment we stop trying to control our emotions is the moment we begin to understand them."</i></p>
<p><strong>Final Thought:</strong><br>
 Healing isn’t about becoming someone new—it’s about allowing yourself to be who you’ve always been, without resistance.</p>

      <title>Faith and Health</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Rob Rene—former elite athlete, near-death survivor, and now a leading voice in natural health and faith-based healing.</p>
<p>Rob’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. After a near-fatal accident changed the course of his life, he began searching for deeper answers—beyond conventional medicine. What he discovered reshaped not only his health, but his entire philosophy on healing, purpose, and faith.</p>
<p>Today, Rob is a keynote speaker, herbalist, molecular hydrogen researcher, and host of the <i>“I Am Pain Free”</i> podcast. Through his work, he’s helping people rethink their approach to health by combining ancient biblical wisdom with modern scientific insights.</p>
<h2>🔑 In This Episode, We Explore:</h2>
<ul>
 <li>Rob’s near-death experience and the moment that changed everything</li>
 <li>The connection between faith and physical healing</li>
 <li>What “frequency medicine” is and how it impacts the body</li>
 <li>The role of natural health in a world dominated by pharmaceuticals</li>
 <li>The power of biblical herbs and ancient healing practices</li>
 <li>Why Rob believes many natural health solutions are being suppressed</li>
 <li>How molecular hydrogen is emerging as a powerful wellness tool</li>
 <li>Breaking free from old patterns and stepping into a new version of yourself</li>
</ul>
<h2>💡 Key Takeaways:</h2>
<p>Rob challenges us to think differently about health—not just as a physical state, but as a spiritual and energetic experience. His message is clear: true healing happens when we align body, mind, and faith.</p>
<p>This episode invites you to question what you’ve been taught, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and explore a more natural, empowered approach to wellbeing.</p>

      <title>Show up for you</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it really mean to <i>show up for yourself</i>—especially when life looks successful on the outside, but feels misaligned within?</p>
<p>In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Valerie Pedigo, founder of Renewed Spirit Adventures, to explore the hidden reality of burnout among high-performing women. Valerie shares her personal journey from exhaustion and disconnection to renewal and purpose, and how that path led her to create transformational retreats and a global sisterhood dedicated to healing and reconnection.</p>
<p>This episode goes beyond surface-level self-care and dives into what true healing looks like—messy, real, and deeply human. Valerie brings a refreshing blend of grounded expertise, nervous system wisdom, and feminine insight, offering practical tools and soulful reflections for anyone craving more alignment, energy, and meaning.</p>
<h3>In This Episode, We Explore:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>The silent struggle of “having it all” while feeling completely depleted</li>
 <li>Valerie’s personal burnout journey and the turning point that changed everything</li>
 <li>Why traditional self-care often falls short—and what actually works</li>
 <li>The importance of nervous system regulation in healing and sustainable success</li>
 <li>How embodiment practices can reconnect you to your true self</li>
 <li>Building community as a powerful pathway to transformation</li>
 <li>What it really means to reclaim your identity, energy, and purpose</li>
 <li>Letting go of perfection and embracing authentic, integrated healing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Takeaways</h3>
<ul>
 <li>You don’t have to hit rock bottom to choose a different way of living</li>
 <li>Healing isn’t about escaping life—it’s about learning to navigate it differently</li>
 <li>Sustainable success comes from alignment, not overexertion</li>
 <li>Community and connection are essential, not optional</li>
 <li>Showing up for yourself is a daily practice, not a one-time decision</li>
</ul>
<h3>Final Thoughts</h3>
<p>If you’ve been pushing, striving, and holding it all together while quietly feeling disconnected, this episode is your invitation to pause—and reconnect.</p>
<p>Because the most important relationship you’ll ever have… is the one you have with yourself.</p>

      <title>Start with &apos;why?&apos;</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the secret to lasting health, vitality, and independence wasn’t just about <i>what</i> you do—but <i>why</i> you do it?</p>
<p>In this episode, I sit down with highly respected wellness coach and fitness expert Carlos Reyes, a veteran of the health and fitness industry with over 30 years of experience. Certified by leading organisations including the American College of Sports Medicine and the National Strength & Conditioning Association, Carlos has dedicated his life to helping people not only improve their fitness—but transform their entire approach to aging and wellbeing.</p>
<p>Carlos shares how a challenging start to life led him to discover fitness as a powerful coping mechanism—and ultimately, his life’s purpose. Today, he works with active individuals over 50 who are committed to maintaining strength, independence, and quality of life well into their later years.</p>
<p>This conversation goes beyond reps and routines. It’s about purpose, mindset, and creating a sustainable, holistic approach to living well.</p>
<h3><strong>In This Episode, We Discuss:</strong></h3>
<ul>
 <li>Why starting with your <i>“why”</i> is the foundation for lasting health</li>
 <li>Carlos’s powerful personal journey into fitness and wellbeing</li>
 <li>The biggest misconceptions about aging and physical decline</li>
 <li>How to train smarter—not just harder—as you get older</li>
 <li>The importance of functional fitness for independence and longevity</li>
 <li>Building a holistic approach to health: body, mind, and lifestyle</li>
 <li>The role of consistency and relationships in long-term success</li>
 <li>How to stay strong, capable, and confident into your 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>Key Takeaways:</strong></h3>
<ul>
 <li>Your motivation determines your sustainability—get clear on your “why”</li>
 <li>Aging doesn’t mean decline—it means adapting intelligently</li>
 <li>Fitness should be practical, possible, and productive</li>
 <li>Strength and mobility are key to maintaining independence</li>
 <li>Long-term health is built through consistency, not extremes</li>
</ul>

He holds certifications from the American College of Sports Medicine, the National Strength & Conditioning Association, the Functional Aging Institute, and the WellCoaches Corporation.</p>
<p>Carlos specialises in working with individuals over 50 who want to combat the aging process in an effective and sustainable way. His approach is holistic, focusing not just on physical fitness, but on lifestyle, long-term health, and maintaining independence.</p>

What he values most are the long-standing relationships he has built—and the trust his clients place in him to guide them through every stage of life.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and deeply moving episode, I sit down with author, speaker, publisher, artist, and entrepreneur <strong>Justine Martin</strong> to explore the extraordinary story behind her new book, <i>Moxie</i>.</p>
<p>Justine’s life journey reads like a series of unimaginable challenges. From early childhood trauma and complex family dynamics to surviving sexual assault and domestic violence, she has faced adversity at levels most people could hardly comprehend. Her physical health has also been tested through chronic illness and multiple life-threatening diagnoses, including multiple sclerosis, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and an acquired brain injury.</p>
<p>Yet Justine’s story is not about suffering—it is about <strong>moxie</strong>: courage, resilience, determination, and the refusal to be defined by hardship.</p>
<p>Rather than becoming a catalogue of pain, her life has become a blueprint for growth, strength, and service. Through her work as an author, creative, and entrepreneur, Justine now uses her experiences to inspire and empower others to face their own challenges with courage and purpose.</p>
<p>Her new book, <i>Moxie</i>, is a raw and honest reflection on adversity and resilience. It is a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, there is the potential for transformation, healing, and powerful personal growth.</p>
<p>This conversation is honest, heartfelt, and incredibly inspiring.</p>
<p><strong>In this episode we explore:</strong></p>
<ul>
 <li>What <i>moxie</i> really means and why it matters in life</li>
 <li>How Justine navigated profound trauma and adversity</li>
 <li>The lessons learned from facing serious illness and life-threatening diagnoses</li>
 <li>Turning pain into purpose and creativity</li>
 <li>Why resilience is built through honesty, courage, and self-belief</li>
 <li>The message behind her powerful new book, <i>Moxie</i></li>
</ul>
<p>Justine’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of choosing courage, even when life feels overwhelming.</p>
<p>This is a conversation that will move you, challenge you, and remind you what is possible when we refuse to give up.</p>

      <title>Learn from pain</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the breakthrough in your relationship doesn’t begin with your partner… but with you?</p>
<p>In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with Larry Bilotta, a man who spent 27 years in what he describes as a loveless marriage. Feeling disconnected, frustrated, and emotionally exhausted, Larry reached a point where something had to change.</p>
<p>But instead of trying to fix his wife…<br>
 Instead of demanding change…<br>
 Instead of walking away…</p>
<p>Larry made a life-altering decision: he chose to learn from the pain.</p>
<p>And everything shifted.</p>
<p>Larry shares how discovering self-love, emotional responsibility, and inner healing didn’t just transform his mindset — it transformed his marriage. Today, he stands as living proof that it only takes one person to change the dynamic of a relationship.</p>
<p>For more than 20 years, Larry has helped tens of thousands of people save their sanity, restore their marriages, and reclaim control over their own lives and emotional wellbeing. His message is simple yet revolutionary:</p>
<p><strong>When you change, everything changes.</strong></p>
<h3>🔑 In This Episode, We Explore:</h3>
<ul>
 <li>Why pain can be your greatest teacher</li>
 <li>The hidden cost of emotional dependency</li>
 <li>How self-love can revive a struggling marriage</li>
 <li>Why waiting for your partner to change keeps you stuck</li>
 <li>The mindset shift that saved Larry’s relationship</li>
 <li>How one person can heal a marriage</li>
 <li>Why hope is never truly lost — even in the darkest seasons</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in their relationship…<br>
 For anyone who believes they’ve tried everything…<br>
 For anyone wondering if it’s too late.</p>
<p>Larry’s story is raw, practical, and incredibly hopeful. If your relationship feels desperate, disconnected, or beyond repair, this conversation may be exactly what you need.</p>

      <title>Coming home</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it really mean to <i>come home</i> to yourself?</p>
<p>In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I sit down with therapist, speaker, and podcast host <strong>Malisa Hepner</strong> for an episode that feels like a warm embrace and a courageous invitation all at once.</p>
<p>Malisa knows what it’s like to live with the noise of trauma. She also knows what it takes to move through it.</p>
<p>Blending lived experience with professional expertise, she guides people beyond overthinking, perfectionism, and the fear of being seen — into a life that is grounded, authentic, and deeply joyful. This episode is not just a conversation about healing. It’s a roadmap back to yourself.</p>
<p>We explore what it means to:</p>
<ul>
 <li>Move through complex trauma instead of being defined by it</li>
 <li>Practice emotional hygiene in everyday life</li>
 <li>Release the pressure of perfectionism</li>
 <li>Feel “safe to be seen” in your relationships and work</li>
 <li>Navigate profound grief — including child loss — with the right tools and self-belief</li>
</ul>
<p>Malisa vulnerably shares how she is living her healing journey in real time, showing what surviving unimaginable loss can look like when you believe you are enough.</p>
<p>Her transformative workbooks — <i>Emotional Alchemy</i>, <i>Safe to Be Seen</i>, and <i>The Beauty of Imperfection: Good Is Enough</i> — blend storytelling, soulful reflection, and practical tools to help people return to their truest selves. And in this episode, she generously shares tools you can begin using immediately.</p>
<p>What makes this conversation so special is Malisa herself. She brings warmth, humour, and grounded wisdom to topics that can often feel heavy. You’ll feel understood. You’ll feel less alone. And you’ll walk away empowered.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking… trapped by perfectionism… afraid to be visible… or disconnected from who you truly are…</p>
<p>This episode is your invitation to come home.</p>

Andrew is the author of A Vision of Hope and the creator of a 90-day framework that helps people discover identity, clarify direction, and build purpose-driven lives. For years, Andrew’s life was defined by addiction. Heroin consumed his twenties, leading to overdoses, treatment programs, and prison sentences. But in those quiet moments behind bars, he realized that if he could write his way toward clarity, maybe others could read their way toward hope. That realization became the foundation of his work today. It was the identity work that changed his life and now it&apos;s his mission is to help people see not just who they are, but who they can become — transforming pain into growth and purpose.

He&apos;s the author of &quot;Every Mile Matters: Turning Triathlon Training Into Cancer Triumph,&quot; which immediately became a top new release in several categories on Amazon. Just months after crossing the finish line of an Ironman Triathlon, he discovered that his athletic endurance and mental toughness would become essential tools when facing two cancer diagnoses within two years – prostate cancer followed by Stage 3B colorectal cancer. Drawing from decades of helping others through their darkest moments, he navigated surgery, chemotherapy and radiation with the same grit and discipline that carried him across finish lines. Today he combines lived experience as a two-time survivor with nationally recognized leadership to advance the power of purpose, health equity, and strength and resilience for patients everywhere. His journey offers a roadmap for life after cancer and beyond. His message, as the clock of life counts down, do the things now that you want to do.

      <title>DNA of design</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of <strong>DNA of Design</strong>, I sit down with <strong>Caleb Matthews</strong>, founder of <strong>The SeeLink</strong> and an international motivational speaker with over 20 years of experience helping people uncover their purpose and live in alignment with their true design.</p><p>Known for his unique blend of <strong>depth, humor, and spiritual insight</strong>, Caleb invites us to “see the links” — the often-overlooked connections in our everyday lives that reveal who we are, why we’re here, and how spirit, soul, and body work together according to our unique <strong>DNA of Design</strong>.</p><p>Caleb’s journey into purpose began early.

      <title>Everyday athlete</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this inspiring and practical episode, I sit down with <strong>Grant Jenkins</strong>—a renowned coach who specialises in developing athletes and helping everyday people unlock their physical potential. Grant was recently awarded <strong>‘Master Coach’</strong> by the Australian Strength & Conditioning Association, the highest level of qualification in the country—an honour that reflects decades of expertise, curiosity, and commitment to human performance.</p>
<p>Grant has trained elite and developmental athletes across multiple sports, but what makes him truly unique is his ability to take the <strong>High Performance mindset</strong> of professional sport and translate it for <i>anyone</i> wanting to improve their health—whether the goal is fat loss, muscle gain, injury resilience, or simply feeling fitter and more capable in daily life.</p>
<p>As the founder of <strong>Wonderfoods</strong>, a nutritional supplementation company, Grant also brings deep insight into how strategic nutrition can support sustainable wellbeing, energy, and performance goals.</p>
<h3><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></h3>
<ul>
 <li>What it <i>really</i> means to be an “everyday athlete”—and why it’s not about competition</li>
 <li>The biggest mistakes people make when trying to improve their fitness</li>
 <li>How to apply High Performance principles to normal life without burning out</li>
 <li>Why consistency beats intensity every time</li>
 <li>The powerful connection between movement, confidence, and mental wellbeing</li>
 <li>How supplementation can enhance—not replace—a solid foundation of lifestyle habits</li>
 <li>Grant’s simple frameworks for becoming stronger, fitter, and more resilient</li>
</ul>
<p>Grant’s down-to-earth wisdom and evidence-based approach make this conversation a must-listen for anyone who wants to live with more vitality, strength, and confidence. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible and embrace the idea that <strong>every person can be an everyday athlete</strong>.</p>

Grant was recently awarded <strong>‘Master Coach’</strong> by the Australian Strength & Conditioning Association, the highest level of qualification in the country—an honour that reflects decades of expertise, curiosity, and commitment to human performance.</p>
<p>Grant has trained elite and developmental athletes across multiple sports, but what makes him truly unique is his ability to take the <strong>High Performance mindset</strong> of professional sport and translate it for <i>anyone</i> wanting to improve their health—whether the goal is fat loss, muscle gain, injury resilience, or simply feeling fitter and more capable in daily life.</p>
<p>As the founder of <strong>Wonderfoods</strong>, a nutritional supplementation company, Grant also brings deep insight into how strategic nutrition can support sustainable wellbeing, energy, and performance goals.</p>
<h3><strong>In this episode, we explore:</strong></h3>
<ul>
 <li>What it <i>really</i> means to be an “everyday athlete”—and why it’s not about competition</li>
 <li>The biggest mistakes people make when trying to improve their fitness</li>
 <li>How to apply High Performance principles to normal life without burning out</li>
 <li>Why consistency beats intensity every time</li>
 <li>The powerful connection between movement, confidence, and mental wellbeing</li>
 <li>How supplementation can enhance—not replace—a solid foundation of lifestyle habits</li>
 <li>Grant’s simple frameworks for becoming stronger, fitter, and more resilient</li>
</ul>
<p>Grant’s down-to-earth wisdom and evidence-based approach make this conversation a must-listen for anyone who wants to live with more vitality, strength, and confidence. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible and embrace the idea that <strong>every person can be an everyday athlete</strong>.</p>

      <title>Devolved to evolved</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this deeply human and profoundly inspiring episode, I sit down with <strong>Magic Barclay</strong>, a woman whose journey from trauma, adversity, and self-abandonment to radical self-healing and empowerment is nothing short of extraordinary.</p><p>Magic never truly felt well growing up. Caught between a narcissistic father and an emotionally neglectful mother, she learned early that she could only rely on herself. Feeling like “the black sheep,” trust felt unsafe, and control became a survival mechanism.</p><p>In her teens, that need for control manifested through <strong>anorexia, binge-eating disorders, and eventually alcohol dependence</strong>. By 21, she was an alcoholic. And as life unfolded, her unresolved self-relationship spilled into relationships with others—leading her into a series of emotionally harmful partnerships and ultimately a marriage to a narcissist mirroring her childhood wounds.</p><p>To protect herself, Magic’s body became the shield she believed she needed. Morbid obesity felt like the only way to keep herself physically “off limits” to abuse. After 14 years of relentless emotional degradation—being told she was worthless, ugly, a terrible mother—Magic finally broke free. She fled with her children, dogs, and cats, leaving everything behind except the one thing she was determined to save: <strong>her family</strong>.</p><p>What followed were four grueling years of legal battles and starting life from scratch. Decades of <strong>ACEs, ACREs, chronic stress, and physical trauma</strong> took a devastating toll on her health, leading to multiple life-threatening conditions. But this was also her turning point.</p><p>Magic threw herself into study—learning the interconnected systems of the body, confronting her trauma, and rebuilding her physical and emotional health from the inside out. This commitment to understanding and reclaiming her wellness became the catalyst for a complete transformation.</p><p>Today, Magic stands as a powerful example of what’s possible when we heal the relationship with ourselves. She is now:</p><ul><li><strong>An instructor of PNEI of Trauma</strong></li><li><strong>Lead practitioner at Wholistic Natural Health Australia</strong></li><li><strong>Host of her own podcast</strong></li><li><strong>A woman who is truly well, truly loved, and truly free</strong></li></ul><p>In this conversation, Magic shares how she evolved—body, mind, and spirit—after once feeling devolved by life. We explore:</p><p>✨ The impacts of childhood trauma on adult health<br />✨ The hidden links between chronic stress, illness, and emotional wounding<br />✨ The dangers of self-abandonment and the power of self-reclamation<br />✨ How she rebuilt her health using an integrated systems approach<br />✨ What true healing looks and feels like<br />✨ How to move from surviving… to evolving</p><p>This episode is for anyone who has ever felt broken by their past, trapped by their patterns, or disconnected from their own worth.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this deeply moving and powerful episode of <i>It Comes From Us</i>, Jessie Torres joins us to share her extraordinary journey — one that began in trauma and transformed into triumph. Jessie’s story is one of unimaginable pain: surviving sexual abuse at the hands of her father, losing both of her brothers to murder—thirty years apart—and enduring an 18-year marriage of mental, emotional, and verbal abuse that left her spiritually shattered and numb.</p><p>But what emerges from Jessie’s story is not despair — it’s <i>divine transformation</i>.<br />Out of survival, she found strength. Out of fear, she found faith. And through relentless courage, she discovered that the only true limitation we face is the belief that there is one.</p><p>Today, Jessie lives with fierce purpose — helping others see their trauma through new eyes: not as punishment, but as preparation. She believes our pain is part of a divine choreography — that God never wastes our suffering, and that within every dark night lies the seed of our greatest light.</p><p>Through her lived experience, Jessie teaches us that when we can witness the gift in our pain — the muscle built through adversity — we begin to see ourselves not as victims, but as victors. She reminds us that forgiveness, self-compassion, and love are the keys to reclaiming our divinity and magnificence.</p><h3>🌟 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:</h3><ul><li>How Jessie transformed decades of trauma, abuse, and loss into purpose and impact</li><li>The moment she stopped running from fear and started standing in her truth</li><li>Why the belief in limitation is the only true barrier to freedom</li><li>How to find grace and divine order within even the darkest pain</li><li>The power of seeing yourself as the brave soul who <i>got back up</i></li><li>Jessie’s perspective on forgiveness, divine contracts, and the boundless human spirit</li></ul><h3>💬 Memorable Quote from Jessie:</h3><blockquote><p>“The depth of our darkness is converse to the height of our light.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this powerful episode, we’re joined by <strong>Ron Reich</strong>, a leadership consultant, coach, and expert facilitator with over 28 years of experience across diverse industries. Known for his engaging and interactive approach, Ron helps leaders and teams develop the skills that drive trust, motivation, and lasting results.</p><p>But Ron’s story goes far beyond professional success. He opens up about his battle with alcohol addiction — a challenge that forced him to <strong>peel back the layers</strong> of his own identity and discover the deeper purpose beneath the surface. Through self-awareness, courage, and growth, Ron found his way to joy, authenticity, and a renewed commitment to helping others do the same.</p><p>Together, we explore:</p><ul><li>How peeling back the layers of your life leads to personal and professional transformation</li><li>Why emotional intelligence is the foundation of effective leadership</li><li>How to truly listen — to others <i>and</i> to yourself</li><li>Motivation, recognition, and respect as keys to lasting influence</li><li>Practical tools for handling challenging conversations with empathy and clarity</li></ul><p>Ron’s journey reminds us that leadership starts from within — and that the most powerful lessons often emerge when we’re brave enough to look inward.</p><p><strong>Tune in to discover how self-understanding and vulnerability can unlock the leader — and human — you were meant to be.</strong></p><p>To find out more about Ron, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-reich-7809829/" target="_blank">Click Here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In episode 313, I speak with Christine Sadry, an award-winning author and former United Nations peacekeeper whose story proves that no matter what you’ve been through, there’s always hope. After escaping communist Poland at just 9 years old, Christine came to America seeking freedom—only to face 13 years of silence and hardship. Through resilience and determination, she rebuilt her life and rose to the global stage. Today, Christine inspires others to reclaim their voice, rise above adversity, and believe that anything is possible. There are many powerful messages in this podcast, none more transformational than the willingness and ability to let go of the trauma, the anger, the bitterness, and unforgiveness to live a life of ultimate freedom and joy. This is an inspiring podcast, not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

Little did he know then how valuable those long, hard years would prove to be; it was in that boot camp where God prepared him for His work as a Christian apologist.  If there is a God who is both good and all-powerful, then how can there be so much evil and suffering in this world? Does God care? How could a perfect God have created so imperfect a world? How can we be sure that He even exists? Is it possible to really know Him?  In this powerful podcast we answer these questions and celebrate how faith and have food have healed his wife and children.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 300, I speak with yogee and author, Jeff Bailey. At the age of 50, he suffered a high-speed ski accident that severely damaged his hip. It was a defining moment when he discovered that joints crave compression. This revelation sparked a new approach to joint health that addressed the root causes of arthritis and degeneration head-on rather than merely masking the symptoms. With over 45 years as a yoga teacher, Jeff has a knack for simplifying complex concepts and making them accessible and practical. He has shared his knowledge on various podcasts, resonating with audiences far and wide. He has mentored hundreds of teachers and built a community dedicated to mobility and independence. Now in his 60s, Jeff is a living testament to his method. When you liberate the mind, the body will follow. Jeff&apos;s compelling story and revolutionary approach to health promise to enlighten listeners and empower them to take charge of their joint health. With a wealth of experiences to share and insights that resonate on both personal and practical levels, Jeff is not just another guest—he’s a catalyst for change in the lives of those who tune in. </itunes:summary>

      <itunes:summary>In episode 299 I speak with author, dietician, and eating psychology coach, Caroline Trickey. After nearly two decades of trying to “eat less and exercise more,” she ended up feeling frustrated and completely out of tune with her body. But now, with a deep understanding of how the brain really works, Caroline can see that the issue wasn’t her—it was the way we’re taught to approach eating. The typical advice creates stress and confusion, making it tough to build lasting habits that genuinely support health and wellbeing. It’s been almost twenty years since she stopped dieting and relearned how to eat in a way that feels natural. Today, she enjoys food without second-guessing or obsessing. With the help of the pause, her meals are deeeliciously satisfying and she doesn’t overthink every bite. This is a wonderful podcast, not to be missed</itunes:summary>

Almost everything we do in life we start poorly. Flossing, algebra, potty training. Our lives are FULL of poor starts. Yet when it comes to our dreams and goals we often feel we have to do them flawlessly or never miss a day. And if we don’t do it well enough, it’s not worth doing at all. This led him to write &apos;Start Poorly&apos;, an antidote to fear and perfectionism. Justin speaks to your potential, gives you the permission to be terrible, and provides steps to help you complete goals and form habits.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 293, I speak Wilk Wilkinson, husband, father, Christian conservative, and host of the Derate The Hate podcast. Wilk has, over the course of his life, made mistakes, but most importantly, has owned up to them and learned from them. He grew up poor, mostly in rural towns around the upper Midwest. He worked from the age of 10 years old so that he might have the things his parents could not provide for him. Wilk found himself heading down a self-destructive path, blaming his circunstances, and spiralling to a very dark place, when he finally discovered that ultimate freedom is not something to attain, but is something we already have. In this podcast we discuss many things from personal responsibility, gratitude, and how we attract everything we get in life. Hard to hear, but true. So, if you want to experience ultimate freedom, then listen to this powerful conversation.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Mark A. Hicks wears many hats – author, ghostwriter, speaker, counselor / life coach, and podcast host. His passion lies in unraveling the mysteries of love and relationships, digging deep into what makes them tick. He firmly believes that healthy relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life and career, and he loves sharing insights that resonate with audiences. </p><p>His expertise in building healthy, happy, thriving relationships developed from a three-fold path: First, he have a Masters Degree in Mental Health Counseling and has served as a therapist in several professional capacities. Virtually every problem addressed in counseling comes down to relationships at home, at work, and other areas of life. Second, he comes from a spiritual / theological background with a Doctor of Ministry Degree and Masters of Divinity. At our spiritual core we seek thriving relationships as a vital part of life. </p><p>Third, and perhaps most significantly, he knows the hardship of toxic relationships. Early in his life, he was in a toxic first marriage, which ended in divorce, and he still has the emotional scars to show for it. That painful experience planted a seed in him. Mark wanted to know what love really is and how to live it out with a practical understanding. Now that he is happily married he often says, "I've had a bad marriage and a good one and - GOOD IS BETTER." That's why he poured his heart and soul into my book, "Learning Love: Building a Life That Matters and Healthy Relationships That Last." In today's world, where loneliness and conflict are pressing issues, his insights can offer hope and guidance for those seeking deeper connections.</p><p>In this episode, Mark shares the five components of love that anyone can learn and practice to build healthy, happy, thriving relationships regardless of their relationship experiences so far. Love is absolutely the answer.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Bobbi Barrington is the real, authentic, deal. She doesn’t just talk about transformation—she lives it. After living 26 years in the wrong marriage, 40 years in the wrong career, and 59 years in the wrong body—Bobbi made a radical choice: to rewrite her entire life. In just a few short years, she went from feeling lost, failing, & in the wrong body, to becoming female,, fulfilled, thriving, & so FREE ! </p><p>She has lived as a man & she has lived as a woman. Now single, female, & so free, she has seen the world from both perspectives and gained profound insights into gender, identity, and the universal human experience. Bobbi is a trans woman & of course gender is a massive part of her story, but just one part, because Bobbi has transitioned twice, in body, & in mind. </p><p>Because her real story is about facing her fears & coming out stronger the other side. it’s about courage, facing fear & self-doubt, building an emotional capacity & nervous system that have made her almost bullet proof, and finding such power within her, the power we all have inside to break free of limitations and create a life on our own terms, if only we knew how to access it. A storyteller, traveller, and French speaker, Bobbi brings depth, humour, and wisdom to every conversation. </p><p>She is deeply reflective, articulate, and willing to go to the raw, real places others shy away from because she's been there - elbow deep in the messy emotions & fears, living & breathing transition, transformation & change, going places people fear to go, to make for an unforgettable, thought-provoking conversation. Listeners will be drawn in by her energy, her humanity, and her ability to reframe life’s biggest challenges into opportunities for reinvention and growth.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bobbi Barrington is the real, authentic, deal. She doesn’t just talk about transformation—she lives it. After living 26 years in the wrong marriage, 40 years in the wrong career, and 59 years in the wrong body—Bobbi made a radical choice: to rewrite her entire life. In just a few short years, she went from feeling lost, failing, & in the wrong body, to becoming female,, fulfilled, thriving, & so FREE ! </p><p>She has lived as a man & she has lived as a woman. Now single, female, & so free, she has seen the world from both perspectives and gained profound insights into gender, identity, and the universal human experience. Bobbi is a trans woman & of course gender is a massive part of her story, but just one part, because Bobbi has transitioned twice, in body, & in mind. </p><p>Because her real story is about facing her fears & coming out stronger the other side. it’s about courage, facing fear & self-doubt, building an emotional capacity & nervous system that have made her almost bullet proof, and finding such power within her, the power we all have inside to break free of limitations and create a life on our own terms, if only we knew how to access it. A storyteller, traveller, and French speaker, Bobbi brings depth, humour, and wisdom to every conversation. </p><p>She is deeply reflective, articulate, and willing to go to the raw, real places others shy away from because she's been there - elbow deep in the messy emotions & fears, living & breathing transition, transformation & change, going places people fear to go, to make for an unforgettable, thought-provoking conversation. Listeners will be drawn in by her energy, her humanity, and her ability to reframe life’s biggest challenges into opportunities for reinvention and growth. Whether discussing personal transformation, emotional intelligence, authenticity, the unseen delights of womanhood, or stepping onto a path you can't see & trusting one will appear, Bobbi brings real-world strategies and insights that inspire action. </p><p>This is a conversation that’s raw, real, and life-changing, and one not to be missed.</p><p>To find out more about Bobbi, <a href="https://www.bobbibarrington.com/" target="_blank">Click Here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Madelaine Weiss, in her own words, describes herself as 'fresh', and 'feisty'. She has been this way all of her life, and as a child often found herself in trouble, grounded, or punished. Her father was a business owner who died at forty-two years old. She was just fifteen. The doctor said he died of a cerebral hemorrhage, but since she was grounded at the time for speaking truth to power <i>again</i>, she was pretty sure he died of her. </p><p>It was not until one day at the cemetery, when she finally broke down with her mother about how “all her fault” it was, that she found out it was not Her after all. In her shining moment as a mom, her mother said tenderly, “No, honey, it wasn’t you. It was work.” Although there was little she could do to help then, Madelaine have since built a career on a foundation of extensive education and experience to help other people enjoy happier, healthier, prosperous and productive lives—at work and at home.</p><p>Madelaine is a co-author in the Handbook of Stressful Transitions Across the Lifespan, and author of the new release “Getting to G.R.E.A.T. 5-Step Strategy for Work and Life.” And now, to help executives, professionals, and entrepreneurs, so many of whom worry about their children, Madelaine is launching "What's Your Story?" a personal development workbook for kids and the people who love them. </p><p>We have a fabulous conversation that I know will help people who want to change their story and get to great. Her acronym and process, G.R.E.A.T. is a powerful one, and I know if applied will help every single person get to great.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Bob Martin’s story is as riveting as the narratives he crafts. Once a criminal trial lawyer deeply entrenched in Miami’s notorious legal battles, Bob began his writing career drafting legal briefs and essays. </p><p>In the wake of 9/11, disillusioned by the violence carried out in the name of religion, he conceived the idea of divine messages guiding humanity—a concept that evolved into his first book, Children of Abraham. Navigating an unfamiliar publishing landscape, Bob encountered every consultant and pitch imaginable. After a year of fruitless efforts to secure an agent or publisher, he boldly chose the self-publishing route—printing and selling thousands of copies directly from his garage. </p><p>His hands-on experience with grassroots publicity laid the groundwork for his next literary endeavor. With I Am The Way, Bob’s work captured the attention of Innovative Ink, a traditional publisher now poised to re-release Children of Abraham in April. Bob’s dual life as a lawyer and an author uniquely positions him to speak on both the creative process and the realities of modern publishing. His journey—from legal briefs to literary acclaim—offers invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of bringing meaningful work to market.</p><p>Now a two-time published author and Professor of Wellness at Elon University, Bob blends Taoist wisdom, brain science, psychology, and humor to tackle everything from breaking free of limiting beliefs to finding clarity and resilience in life’s chaos. He discusses a practical and inspiring way to help everyone, go with the flow.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jason Blyth's home, full of violence and volatility, caused an atmosphere whereby he was petrified as a child. The result meant he spent much of his childhood living with his grandparents and many years of countless visitations to psychiatrists. His first visit at just 33 months old. He left “home” a broken youth. Physically and emotionally abused, a life full of trauma, he spent the next fifteen years searching for a connection, a place in the world and a place he could feel a sense of worth. </p><p>Sadly, this only resulted in more destruction in his life, and those he associated with. Nonetheless, in those early years he had a small light that shone and he became a world class inline speed skater. He won multiple national championships, representing New Zealand on the international stage for a period of six years. As a gifted athlete, Jason played soccer in New Zealand’s National Youth League, as well as winning many swimming titles, triathlons, and the list goes on. This provided an outlet for survival as he continued to battle with the scars of his childhood. Sport taught him discipline, which Jason attributes to becoming necessary for his survival.</p><p>He left home at fifteen, and by sixteen, he had dropped out of school. Jason quickly entered a life of depression, full of anxiety and anger. He would give up on his skating at seventeen years, and instead indulged in drinking and partying to excess. It wouldn’t be long before Jason began building a career in music, which eventually would lead him to travel to Hollywood, to record music with world class producers. Desperate to please, succeed and belong, he found himself engulfed in a world of darkness that he had never experienced before.</p><p>He found himself mixing in the occult, where he was following some of the most prominent leaders in the time. It almost cost him everything, including his life. By 2018, Jason’s life had completely collapsed, he had actually gone from bad to worse. Having lost all hope, he checked himself into a psychiatric ward and then celebrated his 30th birthday in rehab. </p><p>During this time, Jason began to read an instruction book on life and how best to deal with its challenges. He had plenty, so it needed to be a good book… it needed to hold good news for this young man. </p><p>He began to read the bible.

As a result, she lost the 25 lbs she'd gained over the previous year & half, rebuilt her physical, mental, emotional & spiritual energy banks and reclaimed her youthful VITALITY. She started to become aware of a few colleagues and friends complaining and suffering with their own varying degrees of chronic fatigue and how it was affecting the afternoon production. She knew what they were going through and it broke her heart. </p><p>Adrienne decided, if she could re-build then reclaim my energetic vitality, maybe she could help others do the same. As a result of this decision, she created the 'Energy Edge: Unlock Your Energy Potential' coaching program.

She changed what she ate and started exercising. By the time she turned 19, she has lost 20kg and was well on the way to a healthy mindset and body.  But then she ran away… from Egypt, from her family and an unwanted engagement, to start a life in Australia and discover for herself what freedom felt like. </p><p>Unfortunately, this major life change pushed her back down the path of comfort eating and she regained half of the lost weight.</p><p>This woke her up.</p><p>She needed to find a sustainable way to keep the weight off and manage her unhealthy relationship with food and her body. </p><p>Through learning about emotional reliance on food, understanding her moments of weakness and implementing strategies to better manage her emotional state, as well as, incorporate a moderate diet and exercise routine into her life, she managed to lose a total of 42kg and go on to win 3 Gold and 4 Silver Medals in both National and World Championship Bikini Competitions only 6 months after having her baby. </p><p>In this podcast, Marleen discusses some powerful ideas to start putting ourselves first, loving ourselves, and then working hard to achieve because we love ourselves, not in order to love ourselves.

      <title>Steps along the way</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Marion grew up in a dysfunctional home, surrounded by emotional and physical abuse, and never fully feeling like he belonged anywhere. He grew up around conflicting views around religion and physical and mental health struggles, including suicide. Attending a private religious day school (while a privilege compared to the lives of many) did not provide comfort for the sensitive, insecure little boy, with a broken heart.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Marion grew up in a dysfunctional home, surrounded by emotional and physical abuse, and never fully feeling like he belonged anywhere. He grew up around conflicting views around religion and physical and mental health struggles, including suicide. Attending a private religious day school (while a privilege compared to the lives of many) did not provide comfort for the sensitive, insecure little boy, with a broken heart. Educational/ academic accomplishments were highly stressed in his culture, and especially in private school, everyone had to fit the mold.

      <title>Choice is your legacy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for almost 25 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders  get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.</p><p>His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.</p><p>Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts in this conversation. Some simple tips to eat well, exercise more effectively, and create a mindset that will lead to an abundant &meaning life of joy, purpose and longevity. After doing his N90 program myself, I can definitely attest to is worth.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for almost 25 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders  get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.</p><p>His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.</p><p>Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts in this conversation. Some simple tips to eat well, exercise more effectively, and create a mindset that will lead to an abundant &meaning life of joy, purpose and longevity. After doing his N90 program myself, I can definitely attest to is worth. I would encourage everyone to take control of their wellbeing, because every choice we make is leaving an indelible imprint in the hearts of people and on the legacy we are leaving.  I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.</p><p>Find out more about Perry and his N90 program, <a href="https://www.n90.com.au/" target="_blank">click here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <title>The mind re-set</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<h3>Early Challenges and Inner Turmoil</h3><p>Since birth, Marcy Langlois has faced formidable difficulties, undergoing more than twenty surgical procedures to address her cleft lip and palate. This physical struggle only compounded the emotional burdens she endured. Marcy was subjected to relentless teasing and bullying during her childhood, as her appearance and speech differed from her peers.</p><h3>Navigating Identity and Overcoming Self-Doubt</h3><p>As Marcy progressed through Catholic grade school, she confronted another layer of self-discovery: her attraction to girls rather than boys. Confusion and shame about her sexuality reinforced her already entrenched beliefs of being worthless and unlovable. The struggle between external and internal insecurities intensified, compelling Marcy to become a perfectionist in an attempt to deflect attention from her perceived flaws.</p><h3>The Destructive Path of Addiction</h3><p>In her quest to silence the nagging voice in her mind, Marcy turned to alcohol during her middle school years. While it temporarily numbed her pain, it accelerated a downward spiral. The tragic car accident she was involved in during high school claimed the lives of three individuals, fueling her guilt and deepening her reliance on alcohol as an escape. Thus began a decade-long struggle with alcoholism that resulted in the loss of employment, devastated relationships, and a battle with chronic illness that nearly cost Marcy her life.</p><h3>Breaking Free and Embracing Transformation</h3><p>Rock bottom was the turning point for Marcy at the age of 27. Utilizing resources provided by a Twelve-Step Program, she embarked on a miraculous journey of recovery. Embracing sobriety, Marcy engaged in extensive therapy, personal reflection, and spiritual exploration to heal her wounds and discover her true self.</p><h3>Finding Love, Fulfillment, and Purpose</h3><p>Today, Marcy lives a life filled with self-love and contentment. She and her wife have cultivated a beautiful, lasting relationship for over twenty years. Professionally, Marcy achieved remarkable success as a Mortgage Banker and Vice President in the banking industry and now works at a top mortgage banking business. However, her greatest passion lies in sharing her transformative story with others, providing them with hope and healing in their own struggles.</p><h3>A Message of Resilience and Empowerment</h3><p>Marcy Langlois exemplifies the power of resilience in the face of daunting challenges. Her journey serves as an inspiring testament to the possibilities of personal growth and triumph over adversity. Marcy’s story resonates with individuals navigating their journeys, reminding them that healing, self-discovery, and the redefinition of their narratives are always within reach.</p><p>To find out more about Marcy, <a href="https://marcylanglois.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a></p><p>To book a call with Marcy, <a href="https://calendly.com/marcy-lbl/bookmycall?month=2024-08" target="_blank">Click here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In Episode 230, I speak with coach, podcaster, and trauma-transcender, Marcy Langlois. Born with a cleft lip and palate, Marcy’s childhood was marked by an excruciating series of surgical procedures, 23 in all before the age of 18. Because she looked and talked different than other kids, she was relentlessly teased and bullied. Her journey into adulthood was marked by challenging, traumatic, and downright tragic waypoints: coming out as a queer woman, involvement in a multiple-fatality car accident, and a devastating descent into addiction and chronic illness. Though she got off to a rough start in life, Marcy has discovered one thing: that no matter what obstacles are in your path, Living Beyond Your Limits is not just a dream—it’s infinitely possible. When you reset your mind in the right direction, anything is possible. This is a powerful and inspiring conversation, not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ed Doherty, a Massachusetts native who has lived and worked all over the United States in his roles as a restaurant executive, leadership development expert, and volunteer, has completed his new book “Observations at the Speed of Life”: a compelling memoir comprised of short stories from throughout the author’s life, documenting his struggles, triumphs, and various life lessons learned along the way as he managed to find his place in the world with friends and family by his side. </p><p>Best known for developing talented individuals into top performers, author Ed Doherty’s varied experience includes roles as vice president for a national company’s $58-million region based in Los Angeles and San Francisco, years as the chief human resource officer of an eleven-thousand-employee company based in Memphis, and serving as president of a $22-million franchised restaurant group in Cincinnati. His volunteer experience spans decades with the March of Dimes, Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity, his community, and his church. </p><p>Today, Ed heads up Ambrose Landen LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in strategic planning, leadership development, and employee engagement in both the nonprofit and for-profit sectors. “Observations at the Speed of Life” is a collection of stories that have been shared with others throughout a career of mentoring and motivating friends, family, and coworkers. Sometimes humorous, sometimes inspirational, and occasionally packed with wisdom. They are all about aspiring to be the best version of yourself. Some of the essays are very personal, and some are philosophical, but regardless, each one packs a message about hope and the value of persistence. This book is a result of more than forty years of preparing and writing weekly messages to the teams Ed managed. Those messages consisted of his workplace observations about performance, motivation, management, leadership, and integrity. They were timely lessons that could be applied immediately. </p><p>In this conversation, Ed shares many of his observations and powerful stories. None more powerful than the message he shared when I asked how he had stayed married for 50 years. He told me he made a decision early that his marriage would be a feedback free zone and that he would choose being happy over being right.

In addition to his athletic pursuits, Seth has earned national recognition in the construction industry, garnering prestigious awards from esteemed organizations such as the National Association of Home Builders and the Home Builders Institute.

After his father nearly killed his mother when he was 2 years old, he grew up with a single mother of 3 children. Around 10 years of age, his mother became abusive and addicted to hard drugs like crack and cocaine. This would lead him down a path to being molested by a grown man for over 5 years, and probably 300-400 occasions. After reporting and putting his abuser away, Seth has moved on and done incredible things with his life. Today, he is a soon to be author of his upcoming memoir “Strength Beyond the Shadows.”</p><p>This is a powerful conversation with Seth.

      <itunes:summary>In Episode 224, I speak with author, columnist, crisis counselor, and survivor suicide loss, Lisa Sugarman. Her mission is to help end the stigma surrounding suicide &amp; mental illness by normalizing conversations about mental health, suicide loss, and grief, and holding space for others to express their feelings. After learning that her father Jim took his own life (35 years after he died), she had to re-grieve his death for the second time in my life. She also needed to process this new kind of loss and come to terms with the fact that he was mentally ill and suffering in silence. Sadly, since her dad was struggling at a time when talking about mental illness was taboo, he couldn&apos;t be saved. But others can. Lisa believes there&apos;s strength and healing to be found within our shared experiences, that&apos;s why she has committed to sharing her story of life after loss. This is a powerful and essential conversation, not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Treat people right</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Being medically discharged from the Army in 2017 after 31 years’ service was the lowest point of John Giampino's life. After a traumatic experience, and suffering from being treated very poorly by the very people who should have supported him, he spiralled. John had spent most of his life alongside like-minded soldiers only to find himself on the other side of the fence was the day he lost his self-worth. It was a daily struggle just to keep himself in a happy place. In fact, it led him to an unsuccessful attempt to take his own life.<br /><br />One day he decided to get on with his life and find something that would give him the same form of joy the Army did. He has always loved to fix things, so he sat for his carpenters ticket and started working for himself but his company just didn’t function the way I wanted it too. He  founded <i>I Can Fix That </i>(www.icanfixthat.com.au), however it wasn’t until he did the program with IGY6 that he was able to make it a professional business that employs other Veterans.<br /><br />Via PTSD, he developed anxiety and depression and explored assistance with the NDIS. He was referred to a Life Coach who changed his life more than he could imagine it was possible. He is very grateful about what happened to him and is proof that the IGY6 program based on Neuroscience, works. He is a different person, lost 37 kilos and changed his mindset. John is very proud to have become the Ambassador for IGY6 and helping people is what he loves doing. IGY6 has already helped many other people on the NDIS as well as Veterans and he hopes that they can help many more.</p><p>Through his own treatment in the army, he is committed to treating people right and helping them in any way he can. John is making a powerful difference in the life of Veterans and Civilians alike.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 223, I speak with Veteran, mental health advocate and business owner, John Giampino. He is an ambassador for the IGY6 Foundation. Following a medical discharge from the Army in 2017 after a 31-year military career, John suffered a loss of self-worth and developed PTSD, anxiety and depression. Much of his trauma was due to how he was treated by the upper echelon in the army. Rather than give up, John used this as a profound turning point in his life and sought redefinition and purpose. John’s breakthrough came when he decided to channel his lifelong passion for fixing things into a tangible career path. After achieving a Cert III in Carpentry, John launched his business ‘I Can Fix That’, a venture that grew into a trade business employing other veterans, all thanks to the transformative program with IGY6. After seeking help for his mental illnesses which resulted in an astonishing physical and mental transformation, his mission is now dedicated to giving back and supporting others facing similar challenges. This is an inspiring podcast not to be missed.

      <title>Giving a hand up</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kate Watson and Sheree Elliott are passionate about helping, supporting, serving, encouraging, empowering, and providing a friendly and welcoming space for many homeless and marginalised people in Melbourne, through the charity Pentecost Care. The most recent statistics suggest that more than 120,000 Australians will not have a home to go to tonight, and that number is growing. We can all do something to help, and that is what this conversation is about.</p><p>Kate is the director of the charity. Sheree a passionate volunteer because she knows what it is like to be on the streets, not knowing where she would sleep or where her next meal was coming from, for 12 months as a teenager. For most of us, as we go to our comfortable homes, enjoy eating regular meals, and then sleeping in a warm and comfortable bed, we are not even aware of the many people who do not have those simple luxuries that we take for granted. </p><p>Both Kate and Sheree are very clear on the message that these people need a hand up more than they need a handout.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kate Watson and Sheree Elliott are passionate about helping, supporting, serving, encouraging, empowering, and providing a friendly and welcoming space for many homeless and marginalised people in Melbourne, through the charity Pentecost Care. The most recent statistics suggest that more than 120,000 Australians will not have a home to go to tonight, and that number is growing. We can all do something to help, and that is what this conversation is about.</p><p>Kate is the director of the charity. Sheree a passionate volunteer because she knows what it is like to be on the streets, not knowing where she would sleep or where her next meal was coming from, for 12 months as a teenager. For most of us, as we go to our comfortable homes, enjoy eating regular meals, and then sleeping in a warm and comfortable bed, we are not even aware of the many people who do not have those simple luxuries that we take for granted. </p><p>Both Kate and Sheree are very clear on the message that these people need a hand up more than they need a handout. Every one of us can do something to help lift these people and help them in life. Just giving attention, a smile, or an encouraging word can do so much. As Sheree and Kate talk about their own very different experiences, I hope you will be inspired to help.</p><p>To find out more about <i><strong>Pentecost Care</strong></i>, watch this <a href="https://youtu.be/SfhPwkTesxw?si=cwm0cS0BALPb2pfc" target="_blank">short video</a>.</p><p>If you are in Melbourne and can attend an event call <i><strong>Being Well, Staying Well</strong></i> on Tuesday June 25, we would love to see you.

      <title>Opt in to health</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>It all started for Jemma O'Hanlon when she was just three years old, whipping up delicious recipes in the kitchen with her Mum. As a little girl, her Mum could never get her out of the kitchen. She had a soft spot for sweets and licking the bowl was always the best part. Her dream was to have her own cooking show. When she wasn’t in the kitchen, she was madly scribbling down recipes as she watched celebrity chefs whip up a storm on the TV. Afterwards, she would bound into the kitchen, excited to cook and find a way to add a healthy twist to the dish.<br /><br />It was on Channel 10’s <i>My Market Kitchen</i> that her dream first came true, taking the program’s audience on a journey from farm to fork. Fast forward to today, where cooking remains a huge part of her life. It’s how she shares special moments with loved ones and nothing brings her more joy than inspiring others to find health & happiness through food.</p><p>With almost two decades of experience across the public health, food production, food manufacturing and foodservice sectors, Jemma works with businesses to drive growth through health. For over a decade, she has worked in the media to bust nutrition myths and comment on topical nutrition matters, from the latest fad diet, to research breakthroughs and the big issues affecting the health of Australians. Her call out to all people, is to opt in to health at a time when it is increasingly more difficult to do so.</p><p>We get feisty and passionate in this conversation as we discuss the devastating effect of the AFL's choice to use McDonalds as a sponsor and then use athletes to advertise products that can only cause harm to young Australians. In this podcast we are appealing to people to not just opt into optimal health, but to also speak out against the myriad of advertising and sponsorship that devastating lives all over the world.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 215, I speak with recovered sex addict, Logan Hufford. Logan is no longer in bondage to sexual addiction. Being able to say those words is the 2nd biggest blessing in his life, after salvation through Jesus Christ. He spent years actively destroying his marriage, his life, and the lives of many others. He was an addicted to pornography, affairs, and much more. In 2016, God began to change all that. His life &amp; marriage is now something he literally could not have fathomed, 8 years ago. He sincerely believes his mission on this earth is to share with others, how that happened. Because it wasn’t easy, it wasn’t quick, and he didn’t do it on my own. This is a powerful conversation, everyone needs to hear.</itunes:summary>

It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship. By focussing on what she has, and can do, right now, she has transformed her life. This is the hidden key to acceptance, and it is her mission to share. Enjoy this stupendous conversation.  </itunes:summary>

      <title>The confidence gap</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In Jerry Scarlato's own words:</p><p><i>One thing I’ve struggled with on and off throughout my life is self-confidence. Which is ironic considering, from the outside looking in, I had a lot of the boxes checked to have enough confidence for anything. </i></p><p><i>I grew up in an upper-middle-class family. I had good supporting parents. I was born with a ton of natural physical ability to help me excel in sports. I had enough brains in my head to get through school without much effort. And yet, my confidence was always a soft spot that kept me from pursuing and reaching my true potential. </i></p><p><i>Of course, at the time I wouldn’t have pinpointed self-confidence as the problem. At the time I would have pointed to everything and everyone else around me. Either a Coach didn’t give me a fair chance. Or an injury kept me from getting better. Or my dad wouldn’t let me make my own decisions. Whatever excuse I could find to justify my shortcomings, I would use it. </i></p><p><i>And it wasn’t until my early 30's that those beliefs and justifications really started to feel like bullshit. At that time, I had owned a fitness studio for about 4 years and had been married for the same amount of time. The fitness studio was growing enough for it to feel successful.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Jerry Scarlato's own words:</p><p><i>One thing I’ve struggled with on and off throughout my life is self-confidence. Which is ironic considering, from the outside looking in, I had a lot of the boxes checked to have enough confidence for anything. </i></p><p><i>I grew up in an upper-middle-class family. I had good supporting parents. I was born with a ton of natural physical ability to help me excel in sports. I had enough brains in my head to get through school without much effort. And yet, my confidence was always a soft spot that kept me from pursuing and reaching my true potential. </i></p><p><i>Of course, at the time I wouldn’t have pinpointed self-confidence as the problem. At the time I would have pointed to everything and everyone else around me. Either a Coach didn’t give me a fair chance. Or an injury kept me from getting better. Or my dad wouldn’t let me make my own decisions. Whatever excuse I could find to justify my shortcomings, I would use it. </i></p><p><i>And it wasn’t until my early 30's that those beliefs and justifications really started to feel like bullshit. At that time, I had owned a fitness studio for about 4 years and had been married for the same amount of time. The fitness studio was growing enough for it to feel successful. And the marriage was comfortable enough to make it feel…well…comfortable. But things just didn’t feel right. I had run out of excuses as to why things weren’t continuing to improve and doing the hard work of introspection to see if something inside of me was holding me hostage. </i></p><p><i>By the age of 39, which is where I am now, I had put enough pieces together and done enough internal reflection to realize that the life I was living was not my life at all. The reason, or at least a big reason, why I struggled with confidence when I was young and through to my mid-30s is because I wasn’t aligned with the person that I truly am, which wasn’t allowing me to pursue higher and higher levels of potential. </i></p><p><i>In other words, I was trying so damn hard to make other people happy that I wasn’t being my true self.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 212, I speak with personal development and fitness coach, Jerry Scarlato. Through 15+ years of being in the health and fitness industry working with 1,000s of people looking to better their lives, along with 10+ years of living the life of an entrepreneur, Jerry Scarlato has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in human behavior. He&apos;s endured the closing of a decade-old business, the ending of a 10-year marriage, and the rebuilding of his identity from the ground up in his late 30s. All of these experiences have led Jerry to the realization that the only thing holding you back from breaking free from the chains of a mediocre life is WHO you believe you are and WHAT you believe you&apos;re capable of achieving. Filling the confidence gap is the key. This is a powerful podcast not to miss.</itunes:summary>

      <title>The power of protein</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for almost 25 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. He turned his knowledge and experience to help body builders  get positive results in a much more healthy and natural way, and had great success with many people he worked with.</p><p>His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.</p><p>Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts. There is lots of catching up, banter, but some crucial conversation about the role of protein in the body, how to avoid sarcopenia, and how to eat to create optimal wellbeing. What you will learn will transform your eating habits and your life, if you take them on board and take action. He is a knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining man who I loved talking to.  I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.</p><p>Find out more about Perry and his N90 program, <a href="https://www.n90.com.au/" target="_blank">click here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <title>What if</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Michelle Cogley is a best-selling author and inspirational speaker who moves her audience through courage and vulnerability. Renowned for ‘keeping it real’ she is a living example of how you can ignite your inner strength in the face of controversy and unapologetically reclaim your worth with confidence and compassion. With a background in animal and human behaviour, Michelle has a unique understanding of how the mind works. With her refreshing and raw approach, she is passionate about inspiring and empowering people to release the layers of shame and fear that come with being human, and helping them see their greatness so that they can proudly own who they are and live a life they love.</p><p>Just as life was looking rosy for Michelle, it all turned in a very different direction, and if not for her 'what if?' attitude, it could have all turned out to be a very different story. A global pandemic changed everything for Mish. She lost her business, she suffered from a significant heart issue, Pericarditis, as a result of the vaccine, which has had a lasting impact on her health. In addition to that, she lost her beloved dog Diesel, her father, and her pet cat all within the space of 12 months.

      <title>Wonder words</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Madonna Santa is a trauma counselor, wellness coach, mentor and public speaker and runs an online platform focused on mental health and empowerment. She also hosts her podcast ‘Conversations with Madonna’, where she her guests from all over the world speak on all topics ranging from world events to mental, physical and spiritual health. She has had a 26 year career is community services, public speaking, running women’s groups and leadership programs, teaching in the tertiary sector and now runs her own counselling practice working with people who experience trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse and anxiety, and is about to write her first book.</p><p>Her approach to therapy is different in that she works herself out of a job, not keeping you in therapy for years but using techniques she has learned in her studies and research on neuroplasticity, psychology and holistic energy work to facilitate you into ‘Creating the Life you Deserve’. Madonna has helped thousands of people shift trauma, no matter what background or situations they have been in. It has been her experience throughout her 26 years in the industry and also her own personal experiences, no matter what circumstances have created trauma, anxiety or dis-ease, with the right tools in your toolkit for life, you can thrive rather than survive.</p><p>Madonna is living proof of her methods working, having been told at the age of 30 she would never walk again after the doctors who administered a spinal block during the delivery of her daughter made a mistake that resulted in her being incapacitated, experiencing chronic pain, fatigue and consequently being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, chronic migraines and a heart condition. This did not stop her from reaching her goals and creating the life she deserves. It propelled her into a journey of healing, understanding how the medical model of health, whilst helpful for acute illness, is far behind ancient wisdom and natural medicines, especially when it comes to women’s health. She discovered the true power of mind over matter, applied it to her life and lives a healthy and dynamic life and wants to share that with other’s so they too, can thrive rather than just survive through their lives. </p><p>Having a background in behavioural studies, community development and psychology, Madonna researched how to use neuroplasticity and wonder words to bring her back to wellness and it is her life’s mission to help other’s do the same.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Madonna Santa is a trauma counselor, wellness coach, mentor and public speaker and runs an online platform focused on mental health and empowerment. She also hosts her podcast ‘Conversations with Madonna’, where she her guests from all over the world speak on all topics ranging from world events to mental, physical and spiritual health. She has had a 26 year career is community services, public speaking, running women’s groups and leadership programs, teaching in the tertiary sector and now runs her own counselling practice working with people who experience trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse and anxiety, and is about to write her first book.</p><p>Her approach to therapy is different in that she works herself out of a job, not keeping you in therapy for years but using techniques she has learned in her studies and research on neuroplasticity, psychology and holistic energy work to facilitate you into ‘Creating the Life you Deserve’. Madonna has helped thousands of people shift trauma, no matter what background or situations they have been in. It has been her experience throughout her 26 years in the industry and also her own personal experiences, no matter what circumstances have created trauma, anxiety or dis-ease, with the right tools in your toolkit for life, you can thrive rather than survive.</p><p>Madonna is living proof of her methods working, having been told at the age of 30 she would never walk again after the doctors who administered a spinal block during the delivery of her daughter made a mistake that resulted in her being incapacitated, experiencing chronic pain, fatigue and consequently being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, chronic migraines and a heart condition. This did not stop her from reaching her goals and creating the life she deserves. It propelled her into a journey of healing, understanding how the medical model of health, whilst helpful for acute illness, is far behind ancient wisdom and natural medicines, especially when it comes to women’s health. She discovered the true power of mind over matter, applied it to her life and lives a healthy and dynamic life and wants to share that with other’s so they too, can thrive rather than just survive through their lives. </p><p>Having a background in behavioural studies, community development and psychology, Madonna researched how to use neuroplasticity and wonder words to bring her back to wellness and it is her life’s mission to help other’s do the same. With her no nonsense, dynamic and inspirational way of imparting information, Madonna will have you focused, energised, bouncing back to health and creating the life you deserve in no time. </p><p>More information about Madonna's podcast, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/280351524985415/" target="_blank">click here</a>.</p><p>To attend an online event '<i><strong>Create More in 2024</strong></i>' on January 27, <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/create-more-in-2024/" target="_blank">Click here</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

In the case of hard to solve health problems, she prides herself on her network of professionals all over the world, that she refers out to.  In this journey, she found a passion for mentoring coaches and business owners to help them make more money with less time invested.</p><p>Although hard at the time she now knows what a blessing it was to move cities and start her health coaching business across 11 cities in Australia. As she’s often running live events, this has helped her spread the message of health far and wide, which is now coupled with demand due to social media.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 196, I speak with health &amp; fitness professional, now mentor to health and wellbeing coaches, Kate Martin. Kate became a personal trainer in 1998. After needing to fix her own back with rehabilitation. She got good at creating a flourishing PT business within weeks (without the use of social media), often hiring contractors within weeks. Then, starting multiple other projects, like opening a massage clinic or 3, or an online project when social media became a thing. From that point she started mentoring other wellness coaches and business owners to help them be successful. One of the greatest keys to Kate&apos;s success is her ability to push through fear and discomfort to find the joy and success waiting on the other side. This is a wonderful conversation.</itunes:summary>

Yet, he was able to define the odds by pulling myself out of a life of trauma, violence, pain, and suffering that almost led him to being dead or in prison.

His life’s purpose is to reach and inspire men to never allow any circumstance or situation define their life, yet turn all negatives into positives by growing through what they go through. He believes his testimony and unwavering dedication to his renewed life as well as perspective will provide people with hope that if he can make it, so can they.<br /><br />Jacob now happily married with two beautiful children, and a successful executive and coach, is living proof that, no matter our circumstances, we can change direction at any moment and create a different outcome in our lives.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 191, I speak with health, fitness, and mindset coach, Jacob Smith. Jacob grew up in a broken home full of violence and fear. He grew up starving for the next meal and/or just to feel loved and accepted. Once he realized I couldn’t get it from a broken home, he fled to the streets to get it. This led him down a destructive path he almost wasn’t able to escape from. Fortunately, God gave him a second chance, and one day he decided to look in the mirror and make the necessary changes in his life to save himself from a life that almost killed him. From that point forward, he told himself he couldn’t control the past but he could control the future. With little education, he was able to go from a labor employee to an executive of multiple companies and now a coach for people wanting to change direction in their lives. This is a powerful conversation, not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Adversity or adventure?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Born in London, United Kingdom, Alice Readman moved to the south coast of England as a child, but she returned to London and lived much of her adult life there, until unexpected events led her to Bali Indonesia. It is in Bali, she wrote her first book. <i>I Am Alice</i> is a memoir that tells the story of Alice’s spiritual awakening and mental breakdown, with both events occurring concurrently. This radical transformation takes place and her life changes in an instant. Nothing could have prepared Alice for the domino effects that ensued after her world was irreversibly altered one fateful morning.<br /><br />Two shocking events take Alice on a new journey with a whole new set of twists and turns. During the day she comforts her mother and siblings, and at night she is lost in a parallel universe, suffering from physical and emotional pain. In writing her very personal story, she hopes to remove the stigma of trauma in people’s lives. She hopes that others will reach out, ask for help and find the right support.<br /><br />Alice believes we are all going through a deep transformation, and she hopes by sharing her story, the frequency of her words will inspire and support others through change. “Trauma is a gift that takes us all on a path of rediscovery and connects us with our divine blueprint, we came to earth to experience.” What seemed to be an incredible adversity for Alice, actually turned into an amazing adventure that led her to find her mission in life. This conversation will inspire you to look for the best in every situation. </p><p>Find out more about Alice <a href="https://travelwithalice.com/" target="_blank"><strong>here</strong></a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Greg Elliott's journey has been fueled by an unyielding passion for unraveling the mysteries of human health and potential. Growing up in a very active and health-conscious family, the importance of being healthy was ingrained at an early age and was further developed by playing for high-performance programs in Canada and the US.  He wanted to know how to gain an edge over everyone else, so his nights and weekends were filled with educating himself of how to be bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter than his opponents. </p><p>His formal training began at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, where he pursued a Master of Science in Exercise Science on a basketball scholarship. Those formative years weren't just about the sport; they ignited his fascination with the intricate science behind human performance. Through rigorous research and exploration, he unearthed the potential of non-invasive technologies to peer into the heart's complexities, a voyage that introduced me to the captivating realm of <strong>Heart Rate Variability (HRV).</strong></p><p>The unlikeliest of discoveries greeted him —HRV readings that transcended medical labels. Astonishingly,<br />individuals of utmost discipline and success mirrored patterns akin to those burdened with chronic ailments. This paradox set him on a profound quest: to redefine the very essence of "Health".​ In his pursuit, he started to get a deeper understanding of human anatomy & physiology, applying this new skillset to clients. What was once an impassioned endeavor transformed into a beacon for professional growth, opening vistas of possibilities.

Through rigorous research and exploration, he unearthed the potential of non-invasive technologies to peer into the heart's complexities, a voyage that introduced me to the captivating realm of <strong>Heart Rate Variability (HRV).</strong></p><p>The unlikeliest of discoveries greeted him —HRV readings that transcended medical labels. Astonishingly,<br />individuals of utmost discipline and success mirrored patterns akin to those burdened with chronic ailments. This paradox set him on a profound quest: to redefine the very essence of "Health".​ In his pursuit, he started to get a deeper understanding of human anatomy & physiology, applying this new skillset to clients. What was once an impassioned endeavor transformed into a beacon for professional growth, opening vistas of possibilities.

At the age of 23 Danielle was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery &amp; told her to accept this life as her “new normal”. Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong &amp; she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover, and she did! She is a testament to the concept of post traumatic growth and has since built an international business, authored an e-book called &apos;Mind Control: It&apos;s All In Your Head&apos; and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe.

His engineering background combined with his passion for empowering children with his books, drawing and school visits has seen him go on to publish more than 130 books and sell over 5 millions of them all around the world.

      <title>Role of love</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Paul Zolman is the international bestselling author of the Role of Love, but the true author of love is God. In His wisdom, He placed us in a variety of circumstances that require us to find our way back to His pure love. So, what qualifies Paul to speak about love?</p><p>His childhood experience was of the opposite of love, borne out of generations of abandonment, abuse and trauma. From that austere beginning, and the distaste it formed inside Paul, he searched for and eventually created a method that transformed his life from anger to loving everyone. Growing up in a family of abuse, physical touch became his preferred love style, only because of the regularity. He could almost count on it. It was consistent. He came to think that was the way to express love. But deep inside, he knew that was a twisted belief. </p><p>Paul wanted a better life for himself, which is why he created a paradigm shift that works. In his book, you’ll find what helped him move from a childhood boot camp of abuse to being a person who loves everyone and can find good about anyone in any circumstance. The game he created off the back of the book, <i>The Five Love Languages, </i>by Dr Gary Chapman is literally a game-changer. It helped him, and helping many people around the world find the true role of love. </p><p>This is a wonderful and essential conversation, that will inspire you, and transform you into a love language linguist, one roll of the die per day.

The game he created off the back of the book, <i>The Five Love Languages, </i>by Dr Gary Chapman is literally a game-changer. It helped him, and helping many people around the world find the true role of love. </p><p>This is a wonderful and essential conversation, that will inspire you, and transform you into a love language linguist, one roll of the die per day. Please enjoy.</p><p>Find out more about Paul on his <a href="https://roleoflove.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In episode 180, I speak with author, game maker, and sharer of love, Paul Zolman. Paul grew up with a generational background of abuse, and love was a long way from his mind, for sure. Since then he has created a new way to demonstrate the principles of the love languages. It&apos;s a profound way to learn all five love languages to give them away. By giving them away, your vision will improve to the point that you can see them coming your way and respond appropriately. The system is so easy that even young children can be trained in this love giving system. Spoiler alert: it&apos;s a game where everyone wins. It is a wonderful conversation that everyone needs to listen to.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Clay Boatright has lived in Texas since 1994, where he and his wife Carole raised three daughters, including identical twins with severe intellectual disabilities and autism. On a crazy Friday night, when his twins were two, Clay allowed faith to step in and help him find his purpose.

In 2011, President Barack Obama appointed Clay to the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities in Washington, DC, and in 2013, he was appointed Founding Chairman for Texas Health & Human Services’ IDD System Redesign Advisory Committee, which he held for six years. Published multiple times in various media, Clay is often contacted by legislators, the media, nonprofit organizations, and parents of children with disabilities to help understand the challenges that families like his live every day.<br /><br />Then in 2020, just as the couple became empty-nesters, Clay's wife Carole died from ovarian cancer. In his grief, as he wandered through the local supermarket, he had an epiphany that helped him transform his life and launch, as he describes it, Clay 2.0. Following Carole’s death, Clay maintains a close relationship with his daughters and embraces the future with enthusiasm and a desire to help everyone know that God has a plan for their lives.

      <title>Lay down the oars</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I was privileged to meet Bill Williamson in September 2019. At the time he was the senior pastor at a church in the beautiful town of Yakima, Washington, USA. Myself and Dr Allan Meyer were speaking at his church to a group of men. At that time Bill didn't know of my struggles, and I didn't know his. However, we were both 'straining at the oars' in life. As I was finishing my talk I asked, <i>'if there is anyone who has it in their heart to write a book, let me know. </i>Bill put up his hand and said,<i> me!</i></p><p>Soon after, Bill started writing his book <i>Straining at the Oars, </i>and soon after that his world started to unravel. God was giving him content to make sure his book would be one that could truly help people, because it was written with real life experiences in heart and mind. His marriage ended, COVID saw his job as a pastor terminate, and very soon he found himself battling depression, as he bounced from state to state, home to home, and job to job. He was truly 'straining at the oars'. He got through his struggles, published his book in 2023 and he says:</p><p><i>This book, although not originally intended to be so, comes from a lot of painful experiences and mistakes I am still learning and recovering from. However, this book also comes from the many blessings I continue to receive as I encounter Christ in my personal “storms of life” I pray that this book will be a blessing to you or someone you know who is <strong>straining at the oars. </strong>I have three wonderful adult daughters, two amazing sons-in-law, and four beautiful grandchildren. Unfortunately, as I wrote this book, I saw my marriage of 38 years come to an end. I have been a Christian for most of my life. That doesn’t mean my life has been easy. I have been an ordained pastor for most of my adult life. That certainly didn’t make life any easier for me either.</i></p><p>This is a wonderful conversation, with a courageous and inspiring man. It is one I know will fill you will hope and encouragement and give you strategies to help you lay down your oars and let the wind fill your sails.

Instead she followed her gut and her first leap of faith led her to working in fraud investigation. After a while, she realised this was not her path and so started her own business doing what she is doing now. On the way, with many spontaneous actions, she has found herself exactly where she needs and wants to be in life.

      <title>Healed on day one</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ryan Peebles was ashamed, embarrassed, and angry. He had done everything to take care of his back, and yet he was broken. His back problems cast a shadow over his life for a decade. That time was painful, but it was also a journey of growth, where he developed an ever-evolving, deepening understanding of the body, which he will shares in this podcast.</p><p>It all started when lower back pain side-lined Ryan from playing basketball as a junior in high school. He couldn’t lift weights anymore. And he couldn’t pursue his passion of surfing because he felt nerve damage every time he went. He had one chiropractor tell him, after looking at his x-ray, that he would be in a wheelchair by the time he was 30. That severely affected his psyche, so his mind, emotions and back was really messed up after that, and I felt hopeless.</p><p>One day in 2010, he was curled up on my bedroom floor dwelling on his pain. It was his usual spot, but this time was different. Not only did he have his normal lower back pain, but both my knees hurt too. He also had neck pain, and could feel that his jaw was jutting forward, and his bite was even messed up! In that moment he knew… he would either have to accept his wheelchair-bound fate, or take responsibility in his own hands and become his own healer. So when he was 24 years old, he committed his life to healing his back.</p><p>In the following years he became obsessed with research, consuming countless books and articles online. Eventually, he identified muscle imbalances as the cause of his back problem. This whole body concept resonated with him. It connected the dots and gave him an explanation for many of his body problems. It was a way to look at chronic injuries from a full body perspective. By continually adapting his personal routine as he learned, he found a process that gets to the "core" of the problem. Piece-by-piece, and day-by-day he created this unique program that teaches people how to retrain their body for healthy movement, and get out of pain for good. </p><p>To find out more about Ryan and reach out to him, <a href="https://www.corebalancetraining.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>What does it take to “Own Your Awesome” and take the reins of creating the success you know you deserve? If there is one message that is universal today, it is about the power of the mind and the importance of tapping into your unique, and multifaceted self-leadership to achieve your goals. That is the mindset that U.S. Olympic Heavyweight Champion and Resilience Speaker Cam F. Awesome brings to audiences. In order to become the Winningest Boxer in USA Boxing history, holding four Golden Glove Championships, six U.S. Championships, three PAL National Championships, six Ringside Championships, and three Olympic trials, Cam had to find a system to push through the challenges of losing, in order to keep on fighting and ultimately win more championships than any other boxer. </p><p>During his captivating talks, he shares the stories and strategies of how he faced adversity both in and out of the ring, with a championship mindset, and how he pushed through every obstacle to achieve his greatest goals. Part of his resilient and inspiring journey was even featured in the NETFLIX Original documentary COUNTERPUNCH. Cam provides an insightful look at how he took fate into his own hands and made an almost impossible decision that would affect and change the rest of his life. What makes Cam’s message so rejuvenating and relatable is that he reminds the audience that boxing is the greatest metaphor because everyone is fighting their own battles, and that there is a way to win.</p><p>In this podcast, Cam really flips the narrative on words that have shaped many lives to this date. Words like humble, awesome, and failure. He believes that when you can flip the narrative, you can transform your life. Words have the power to create destiny's so it is important to chose the right words and really understand what they mean This a powerful story and podcast and it will leave you inspired and empowered to get up and do better for the sake of your life and the people you care about.</p><p>To find out more about Cam, <a href="https://camfawesome.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <title>The headache doc</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jono Taves first fostered a love for health and wellness as a collegiate soccer player and an exercise science major at Northwestern College. After receiving his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the Mayo Clinic, he developed a passion for helping people find the source of their aches and pains, allowing a more natural healing process. Since then Dr. Taves has dedicated his career to the mission of educating and empowering people with headaches and migraines to break free from a life of fear and dependence and thriving in everything they do. He now is the owner of Novera: Headache Center, one of the country’s only specialty physical therapy centers devoted to helping headache and migraine patients, and the host of The Headache Doctor Podcast.</p><p>What Jono is doing and how is doing it is certainly a different approach to the conventional medical intervention that is not solving the problem. So far, in just a few years the Novera Headache Center has had a positive impact in over 600 lives. Thr results speak for themselves; The total number of headache days, for sufferers who sought Jono's help, per 6 weeks (or 42 days) was reduced from an average of 19 headache days to just 6 headache days. About a 70% reduction of headaches in just 6 weeks!</p><p>This is a conversation that is very simple, very practical and very empowering. Everyone deserves to live pain-free and Jono believes it is possible and in many cases doable by making some very simple exercise, eating and lifestyle changes. This is a wonderful podcast that everyone one needs to hear because it will help you, or someone you care about. </p><p>To find out more about Dr Jono, <a href="https://www.noveraheadachecenter.com/about/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p><p> </p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Once upon a time Eva Sifis was a dancer working across Australia and performing in cabaret shows in Japan. When she sustained a serious Acquired Brain Injury in 1999 due to being hit by a car, that life ended. After a prolonged coma, a new one began. She refers to this time as her second childhood. The second one lasted just as long! She had to learn everything over again – walking, talking, relating and, most importantly, dealing with a new Eva. However, at the time she didn't realise she was actually  poised for potential and purpose.<br /><br />She applied herself to recovery: physically, mentally and spiritually with great dedication. Through this very difficult period, she have realised a capability to overcome – to call on her resilience and strengths. Her physical needs were attended to very effectively within the system however she experienced a gap when it came to rejoining society. In order to actively integrate herself with the ‘outside world’, she both volunteered and worked widely within the national disability arts and advocacy arena. Through this her sense of self was bolstered and, while doing so, her direction has been laid before her.</p><p>Advanced Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2009 was a huge challenge but she took the chance to re-evaluate her situation.

      <title>A pristine health scene</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For most of early life, Andrea Nicholson followed mainstream health advice, blindly trusting what she was told. She's tried all of the standard diets and advice, only to find herself continually getting sicker.  From carb-addict and vegetarian, to low fat and low calorie, and from extreme workout to another, she did some serious damage to my body. But how could eating all those vegetables be bad?  Because they're all carbs!  She was seriously nutrient deficient, lacking in quality proteins and healthy fats, and left with high inflammation, a bloated and irritated gut, and flat-lined energy. <br /><br />Even though those vegetables were filled with nutrients and fibre, she wasn't absorbing any of those nutrients and even with the fibre, she had decimated my gut microbes.  Functional testing showed she had very little microbial activity and even less diversity.  Clearly this was NOT the path for her. Ultimately, she took her health into her own hands, did her own research, ordered functional tests, and used technologies to uncover her personal imbalances.  <br /><br />She started doing the opposite of most of the common advice to restore her body - more quality proteins from animal sources, more healthy fats including saturated fats, far less carbohydrates (even fruits and vegetable sources), and eating far less often.  Now, she is  healthier and more vibrant than she has ever been and has maintained the results for years. No more bloating, constipation, migraines, stiff muscles, or fatigue.  Effortless weight loss and it's been easy to maintain.  </p><p>Now Andrea uses everything she has learned from her own journey and education to help others, and she is passionate about making a difference in many lives. This is a wonderfully practical and empowering conversation that I hope moves you into positive action.</p><p>To find out more about Andrea, <a href="https://www.healthylifewithandrea.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <title>Jamming with Jemma</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jemma trained as a classical flute player, but she realised, soon after a classmate hit her on the head with a flute, that it wasn't her jam.  She has been passionate about music since the age of 4 years old, where her brilliant parents gifted her the opportunity to join theatre groups, dance classes and music schools. After completing a Bachelor of Music at the WA Academy of Performing Arts (the same campus as Hugh Jackman!) she has gone on to enjoy an endlessly vibrant and diverse career in children’s music, theatre and TV production.

      <title>Find the light</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Imagine a world where people thought of themselves as whole and beautiful. A world where people knew how to heal themselves through daily self-care. That’s a world Cameron Tukapua wants to live in. Discovering Chinese medicine at aged 21 showed her a true view of reality. A world of energy where everything is connected and in right relationship to everything else. What Cameron loves about her life is facilitating connection to our original nature and a search for wholeness. Acupuncture rebalances the energies of the mind-body. It enlivens the innate healing power that lives inside all of us. </p><p>Along with shifting the energy, she supports people to know and be themselves. Cosmology, ‘how to see our place in the universe’ is one of eight limbs of Chinese medicine. When we see the truth of life as energy, we tap into a source of power which is immeasurable and unlimited. When we listen to our own Hearts we live guided by our true Sovereign Ruler and the power of LOVE.</p><p>Across 4 decades of healing practice Cameron valued sharing ancient wisdom teachings that empower us to show up as co-creators of our beautiful world.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Imagine a world where people thought of themselves as whole and beautiful. A world where people knew how to heal themselves through daily self-care. That’s a world Cameron Tukapua wants to live in. Discovering Chinese medicine at aged 21 showed her a true view of reality. A world of energy where everything is connected and in right relationship to everything else. What Cameron loves about her life is facilitating connection to our original nature and a search for wholeness. Acupuncture rebalances the energies of the mind-body. It enlivens the innate healing power that lives inside all of us. </p><p>Along with shifting the energy, she supports people to know and be themselves. Cosmology, ‘how to see our place in the universe’ is one of eight limbs of Chinese medicine. When we see the truth of life as energy, we tap into a source of power which is immeasurable and unlimited. When we listen to our own Hearts we live guided by our true Sovereign Ruler and the power of LOVE.</p><p>Across 4 decades of healing practice Cameron valued sharing ancient wisdom teachings that empower us to show up as co-creators of our beautiful world. In the last two decades, she has created healing pathways which support people to listen to their own knowing as their ultimate guide in life. She has learned all she teaches after seeing the light during her own unsettling beginning to life.</p><p>Currently Cameron sees a lot of lost, confused people trying to navigate the ‘non-sense’ of a weird world. At the same time she sees people everywhere waking up to the importance of taking charge of their lives.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kathy White's own yoga journey began when she was 25 years old, many years ago. She hated aerobics (which was all the rage in the 80's) as it just made her face red, her blood pound and she felt awful afterwards!  She wanted to try something else.  She was a keen cyclist and swimmer and yoga fitted her personality.  When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child  - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died.  Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children. </p><p> However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees.  Then she discovered Kaiut.  An amazing practice from Brazil.  She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM).  So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.</p><p>Kathy offers a 21-day challenge for anyone wanting to start and introduce simple daily yoga practice into their lives. I then threw a spanner in the works by talking about creating an unconscious routine of daily yoga, which will actually take at least 63 days. So, this conversation is devoted to helping people, who want to receive the ongoing benefits of yoga, to get through three 21 day cycles and change their lives for the better forever. All you really need to do is just Win the Day! This is a message that is vital, and can be applied to every area of life. </p><p>To access the discount Kathy mentioned, <a href="https://www.kathywhiteyoga.com/membershipcheckout" target="_blank">Click here</a>, and add the code <i>wellnesspuzzle</i></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <title>The law of GOYA</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Michael Harris is an author, coach, trainer, yoga teacher, entrepreneur and co-founder of Endless Stages.  One of his specialties is helping anyone move from fear of speaking in front of others to powerfully sharing their message with any size group or audience. For years he struggled with health issues, addictions and low self-esteem. Then one day he decided he'd had enough and became willing to make a change. It wasn’t easy. He had to stop dreaming about what he wanted - and begin to take massive action by applying the Law of GOYA. Everything changed through sobriety, walking, food and yoga.  Many of his friends and colleagues urged him to use his metamorphosis to inspire others.<br /><br />At one point, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul) reminded him that “your mess is your message.”  Jack went on to join Michael's book launch for His #1 bestselling book, "Falling Down Getting UP”.  He has owned (or partnered) in several successful yoga studios - and in his prior business coached other studio owners around the world on attracting and enrolling new students - while increasing revenue and profits (over $40 million in sales).  He's helped certify about 7,000 yoga teachers and as a teacher, my primary focus in class, is to help the students calm the mind and increase awareness.  <br /><br />Whilst Michael will always teach yoga, his main focus today is to help others break free from the constraints that are holding them back, through the law of GOYA, and then, use podcasting, books, and speaking to get their message to the world. He believes everyone has a story that will impact lives. This conversation and this story is one that will impact your life, so strap yourself in and enjoy.</p><p>To find out more about Michael, <a href="https://www.michaelbharris.com" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>To download a FREE copy of 'Falling Down, Geting Up', <a href="https://www.michaelbharris.com/book54086874" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <title>End body burnout</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Filipa and Chris Bellette are having a profound and positive impact on lives all around the world. But, it wasn't always like that...</p><p>Filipa found her body is breaking down, as she was trying to juggle the demands of motherhood & building a business. It was crushing and debilitating and she was searching for answers, for solutions - for YEARS. She tried this way of eating. She tried that supplement. She tried this doctor. That practitioner. Some things helped reduce symptoms. Yet she still wasn’t getting to the root cause of her health issues. This led Filly to be treated by one of the world’s best in Functional Medicine, Dr Daniel Kalish, who, at the same time, mentored her in the practice of Functional Medicine. He gave her a PLAN to uncover ALL the root causes of her health issues, so that she could finally get on top of her health and become the mum, the wife, the healer & business owner that she wanted to be.<br /><br />Chris had always been blessed with health of body and mind. For many years, however, he devalued his blessings and abused his body, mind and spirit. He was so obsessed with elite level sport and being ‘the best’ - first, national-level basketball, then national-level Strongman - that he broke his body down with multiple injuries, burnt-out adrenals, and was left living on energy drinks to get through work, and conking out on the couch when he was at home. This left little time for his kids and his wife. He was also burning the candle at both ends, trying to build a fitness business.</p><p>He had lost his way. Although he was a physically 'big' man, he felt weak and broken inside. His family life & business suffered because of it. It was through his own 2-year mentorship with world-renowned Holistic Health Coach, Mark Buckley, that he discovered the power of Mindset Coaching - which literally saved his life in more ways then one. Through intensive psychological re-shifting work, and healing of his own body systems (with the help of his wife!), he found his way back.<br /><br />Together Chris & Filly are a powerful force as they combine their personal experiences and overcoming, with what they have studied and learned on the journey. Filly a clinical nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, and Chris an NLP practitioner and life coach have combined to create Chris and Filly's Functional Medicine.

I don&apos;t know about you, but that sounds pretty awesome to me.  This is an entertaining, informative and inspiring conversation not to be missed. </itunes:subtitle>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kathy White's own yoga journey began when she was 25 years old, many years ago. She hated aerobics (which was all the rage in the 80's) as it just made her face red, her blood pound and she felt awful afterwards!  She wanted to try something else.  She was a keen cyclist and swimmer and yoga fitted her personality.  When she was in her 30's Yoga helped when she lost her first child  - he was stillborn and she felt very very disconnected from her body when he died.  Yoga gradually allowed her to regain that connection and helped her birth her two children. <br /><br />As an older mum, age 40+ with two young kids, yoga helped Kathy keep up with them, play on the floor, climb the trees (which she still loves to do today). However Yoga, when she turned 50 was no longer working in the same way, or at least the practice she'd been doing until then was not addressing her stiff joints, sore back, and painful knees.  Then she discovered Kaiut.  An amazing practice from Brazil.  She retrained and over the next 5 years and developed her Joint Renewal System (TM).  So amazing the transformation, she can't even remember which knee it was that used to hurt so much.<br /><br />Kathy wants to leave a legacy of people living freely in their bodies, and to help people understand that their mindset is often the place that is stuck.  She wants to help people be open to learn new movements and new ways to approach restrictions, tightness, stiffness and pain in the body with mindfulness and kindness.  She would love everyone to know that a sustainable yoga practice starts today, but lasts for life. She wants to help people put on their pants when they are 100.<br /><br />Kathy is from the UK, she lived in the spiritual community of Findhorn in NE Scotland for over 23 years and in 2018 moved to Vancouver Island, where she achieved a long time dream and opened a yoga studio in the basement of her home. When she speaks about yoga, there is so much she can share, with stories about students (including her 91 year old dad who practices twice a week with her), her own personal journey, and ways in which yoga has truly transformed lives. </p><p>Find out more about Kathy, <a href="https://www.kathywhiteyoga.com/" target="_blank">Click here</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank"><strong>www.andrewjobling.com.au</strong></a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In episode 143, I talk to yoga guru and age-defyer, Kathy White. Kathy developed her Joint Renewal System(TM) when she turned 50, and despite teaching yoga for over 20 years, her joints were aching, her menopausal symptoms were raging, and she was not gaining any benefit from her practice any more.  She retrained in the Kaiut method and has now refined it into a jointful yoga for active men and women over 50 who want to keep on doing the sports and activities they love. Her goal is to help people put on their own pants at the age of 100. This is an essential conversation, everyone, irrespective of age, needs to hear. </itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>At 23, Matthew Loudon was healthy, fit, had a well-paying job and generally loved life. Although everything seemed perfect from the outside, he had this feeling deep down that he wasn’t being true to himself. At the time, he also didn’t realise that he was about to hit rock bottom and be diagnosed with depression and anxiety, which turned his world upside down. This diagnosis turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Matt was forced to confront his reality, look inwards and work on his inner self in order to truly understand the value of health and well-being. </p><p>Since the age of 26, he has been on a journey to continually educate himself and to live a fulfilled, happy life while still looking after his health and well-being on all levels—mentally, physically and spiritually. As his wellness journey progressed, he also discovered that his true purpose lies in helping others. These days, he is still learning and training himself in different ways to be the best husband, father and friend he can be. And, as a health and wellness coach, he's been fortunate enough to support others around the world who are looking to regain control of their health and well-being in order to lead happier, healthier and more purposeful lives.</p><p>Whether you’ve hit rock bottom like he did or are simply looking to switch to healthier habits, Matthew is here to support you on your journey to reach your full potential. There are some wonderful insights in this podcast, including a great strategy: to get off the grid.

He had a successful career, lots of money in the bank, and everything that seemed to be what one would desire for happiness. However, he was not happy, and his health was failing.

The answer is... love.</p><p>He started to find the worthiness he had, and began to love himself for who he was, not what he had or did.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>On August 5, 2015 Phil Barth took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati. He had suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. He remembers thinking, "if this is small I'd hate to see medium." Whilst it took him a while to come to terms with the reality of his situation, he finally listened to his wife, friends and doctor, and took the advice to change his diet, start exercising more, and work on controlling stress.<br /><br />It was a transformational period in his life, as he started to live more in the moment, and be able to find the incredible joy and gratitude that was waiting for hi  every day. All he had to do was look for it. Since that time he has published a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day he celebrates the great things that happen. Since he started this journey, he has met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. And he has laughed a lot. He even wrote a book on the subject - he describes it as an International Best Sort of Seller (it went to #1 on free books when he released it... that's sort of a sale). <br /><br />Phil is an exceptional communicator, with a powerful message. As a speaker, before his experience with heart disease, he shared some inspiring thoughts around goal setting as he tells his story of a three year journey to spend 15 minutes of fame, on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 2003. On that show, he walked away with $32,000. This is a wonderful conversation to help you find the joy that is waiting for you every single day.</p><p>To find out more about Phil, go to his <a href="https://philbarth.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Jeff and the team at HeXComm for sponsoring this podcast.<a href="https://hexcomm.com.au/" target="_blank"> Download</a> the App.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In episode 111, called <i>Choose you</i>, I spoke to Rhianne Miller for the first time and was blown away by her story, her attitude and the impact she is having on lives. Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world. She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway.

Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world. She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway.

      <itunes:summary>In Episode 131, I speak again with business owner, lover of life and absolute inspiration, Rhianne Miller. As a result of breast cancer at the age of 32, Rhi went through brutal treatment, a mastectomy and a failed breast reconstruction, which ultimately led her to decide to live without her right breast. Not only having to come to terms with her own imperfection, she had to deal with the attitudes and opinions of others as she decided to showcase and love herself just as she is. In a recent social media post, with a beautiful yet confronting picture, she inspired me with the line, &apos;Perfection is the perfect lie&apos;. It is an incredible conversation you do not want to miss.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Elise Peck had a challenging upbringing. She developed beliefs about herself, relationships and happiness that were having a very destructive impact on her life. She was very keen to change her situation and became heavily in involved in personal development from a young age. In her obsession for personal development, she lost sight of who she really was, and the fact that she was amazing, just as she was, even with her flaws, imperfections, insecurities, and quirks.<br /><br />Through a transformational journey  in which she really learned to love herself, she became inspired to help others. Her niche is to help people find the magic that is available to them in romantic relationships. She refers to a wonderful quote from Dr Seuss: “We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”<br /><br />Having completed thousands of 1-on-1 hours with coaching clients from around the world to create incredible results in their lives, Elise is most passionate about supporting people to experience deep connection, more fulfilment, to uncover and accept who they truly are, and to unleash their true power and potential. Elise gets very raw and honest in this podcast and it is a powerful conversation that everyone needs to listen to. it is a podcast I know will change lives.

Instead of 60km's per day, he averaged about 67km. Instead of 60 days, he ran for 62 days. Instead of raising $60,000, he raised over $100,000. He went through seven pairs of running shoes, he ate about 300 donuts, 250 slices of pizza and 14kg of hummus. But the greatest joy for Sean was, not just getting the job done, but was the impact this run has had and will have on many many lives. </p><p>His vision is to inspire people to get out of their comfort zone, think big ask the question, <i>what if?,</i> and chase their dreams. Sean faced many challenges on this 62 day adventure, but with a dream in his heart, a great team of people around him and the vision of his purpose, he got the job done, one step at a time.

      <title>The calling</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Teale is passionate about helping people turn their career hours into a meaning, fulfilling and joyful part of their lives. He spent many years of his life doing something that would seem to many as living the dream. However, he was not happy and even though he was travelling the world as a successful entertainer, he was not living his passion, and at the end of the day just doing it for the money. It was just a job. So, he went on a mission to use his experiences to find his calling in life.<br /><br />Recognising that the time people spend in their income producing pursuit is the majority of their waking hours, he dedicated himself to helping people find their calling in life. He started HeXTalent, a Melbourne based Talent eXchange and Career Engagement business. Traditional agency recruitment models have remained unchanged for decades. In many ways the processes are outdated and broken! He wanted to know why haven’t they changed and discovered that it was because owners & consultants can ignore the negative ‘recruiter’ stigma & ‘commercially driven’ (often neglectful) processes, when they see the dollar signs and realise their earning potential.<br /><br />HeXTalent hopes to challenge industry norms by providing an alternative (cost effective) engagement model for clients and a far more connected and humanistic career journey for talent. Now just four years in, he has found his passion and has created an App called HeXComm, to help people connect their career with their wellbeing.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Teale is passionate about helping people turn their career hours into a meaning, fulfilling and joyful part of their lives. He spent many years of his life doing something that would seem to many as living the dream. However, he was not happy and even though he was travelling the world as a successful entertainer, he was not living his passion, and at the end of the day just doing it for the money. It was just a job. So, he went on a mission to use his experiences to find his calling in life.<br /><br />Recognising that the time people spend in their income producing pursuit is the majority of their waking hours, he dedicated himself to helping people find their calling in life. He started HeXTalent, a Melbourne based Talent eXchange and Career Engagement business. Traditional agency recruitment models have remained unchanged for decades. In many ways the processes are outdated and broken! He wanted to know why haven’t they changed and discovered that it was because owners & consultants can ignore the negative ‘recruiter’ stigma & ‘commercially driven’ (often neglectful) processes, when they see the dollar signs and realise their earning potential.<br /><br />HeXTalent hopes to challenge industry norms by providing an alternative (cost effective) engagement model for clients and a far more connected and humanistic career journey for talent. Now just four years in, he has found his passion and has created an App called HeXComm, to help people connect their career with their wellbeing. This is a conversation everyone needs to listen to and will change lives.</p><p>To find out more about Jeff, go to his <a href="https://hextalent.com.au/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Jeff and the team at HeXComm for sponsoring this podcast.<a href="https://hexcomm.com.au/" target="_blank"> Download</a> the App.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <title>Jump out into life</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>For much of her young adult life, Josie Warren  struggled with autoimmune disorders, severe food allergies, a debilitating eating disorder anorexia, alcoholism, ADD, and anxiety and depression. She was told by her medical doctors that each of her diagnoses was lifelong and that she just needed to manage them the best she could for the rest of her life. Josie felt crushed, like a lost cause and there was really no hope for her. She was only in her twenties – these were supposed to be the best years of her life.<br /><br />Fortunately, Josie was on a quest for answers and had a lightening bolt awareness- the emotional stress in her life had unknowingly created all of her illnesses. The good news was she could do something about her stress. From this shift in awareness, she knew she could change her relationship to stress. So, as a result, she decided to jump out into life and face the things that were previously causing her stress. As she began to realize that her illnesses were in her control, in less than two months, all her symptoms dissolved and faded away.<br /><br />Seven years later, Josie is 100 percent healthy and no longer has any of her former conditions. “I feel fully alive, not just surviving.” She is passionate and excited about sharing what saved her life with others. Josie knows in her heart that it is her calling to be a beacon of light to show the world that there is another way, that true healing is possible. This is an incredible conversation that inspired me beyond belief.</p><p>To find out more about Josie, go to her <a href="https://hashimotosfix.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

That realisation was that her accident was actually something she could not change. So, she could complain about it, be depressed by it, use it as her excuse, or she could find the answers, to get her through the tough times, in the midst of the emotions she was experiencing. She decided to feel every moment, and use it to gain the awareness, understanding and answers she needed to live a life of significance. </p><p>Stacey is now writing her second book, is speaking to many people and sharing a message that is impacting many many lives. She is passionate, she is relatable, she is wise beyond her years and she left me feeling totally inspired.

      <title>Seeing yourself</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I was totally spellbound as I listened the wisdom and felt the incredible energy of the amazing Cliona Byrne. She wasn't always so confident and radiant as she is now. She used to stand in front of the mirror, suck in her tummy, and emotionally beat herself up for how she looked. Her bitchy inner critic (as she calls it) used to love to tell her that she needed to lose weight.</p><p>She said, "I’ve since slapped the microphone out of that bitch’s hand."</p><p>Cliona used to believe that her life would be 10x shinier, happier, and more fabulous once she hit her goal weight. Long story short, <i>that didn’t work</i>. She also had a crooked bite for the first 20 years of her life and had to wear a brace for 4 years in her late teens and twenties AND had her jaw broken and re-aligned. As you can imagine, her body confidence wasn’t anywhere near the bikini wearing level it is now. She used to hide from the camera and felt uncomfortable in her body at family gatherings. She was the person who wore black baggy clothes to hide herself and spent the whole time <i>feeling fat</i>.</p><p>Over time Cliona started to see a confident woman looking back at her in the mirror, as she saw the real her.  She started to actually like the way she looked! She began wearing whatever she wanted (that includes a bikini), She stopped being afraid of the camera, and finally felt that shiny happy feeling she thought she would feel once she lost weight and had the surgery to fix her jaw. It turns out that she didn’t need to change herself to get that feeling, she  just had to change her relationship with herself. She has now become the coach for adults, parents and teens that she needed when she was a teen. This is a powerful and life-altering conversation, not to be missed.</p><p>To find out more about Cliona, go to her <a href="https://clionabyrne.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was totally spellbound as I listened the wisdom and felt the incredible energy of the amazing Cliona Byrne. She wasn't always so confident and radiant as she is now. She used to stand in front of the mirror, suck in her tummy, and emotionally beat herself up for how she looked. Her bitchy inner critic (as she calls it) used to love to tell her that she needed to lose weight.</p><p>She said, "I’ve since slapped the microphone out of that bitch’s hand."</p><p>Cliona used to believe that her life would be 10x shinier, happier, and more fabulous once she hit her goal weight. Long story short, <i>that didn’t work</i>. She also had a crooked bite for the first 20 years of her life and had to wear a brace for 4 years in her late teens and twenties AND had her jaw broken and re-aligned. As you can imagine, her body confidence wasn’t anywhere near the bikini wearing level it is now. She used to hide from the camera and felt uncomfortable in her body at family gatherings. She was the person who wore black baggy clothes to hide herself and spent the whole time <i>feeling fat</i>.</p><p>Over time Cliona started to see a confident woman looking back at her in the mirror, as she saw the real her.  She started to actually like the way she looked! She began wearing whatever she wanted (that includes a bikini), She stopped being afraid of the camera, and finally felt that shiny happy feeling she thought she would feel once she lost weight and had the surgery to fix her jaw. It turns out that she didn’t need to change herself to get that feeling, she  just had to change her relationship with herself. She has now become the coach for adults, parents and teens that she needed when she was a teen. This is a powerful and life-altering conversation, not to be missed.</p><p>To find out more about Cliona, go to her <a href="https://clionabyrne.com/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 115, I speak with the amazing body confidence coach, Cliona Byrne. After spending much of her life obsessing about her body, her looks, her weight and her outward appearance, Cliona came to an epiphany. She asked herself, &quot;At what point am I going to be happy with me?&quot; That question prompted a journey that not only changed her life, but allowed her to become the adult for others that she needed when she was a teenager. Now when she looks in the mirror, she sees the real and wonderful her. When we can see ourselves for who we are, things start to change. Trust me, this is a truly remarkable conversation.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I loved speaking with Dr Matt Zakreski. Full time American, part-time Aussie who spent many years down-under surfing, connecting with people and drinking VB. Dr Matt is a gifted and neuro-diverse person who has developed an incredible passion and become a longtime advocate for the underserved needs of Gifted kids, Dr. Matt has shaped his career around his passion for serving this population, starting with being a counselor (and a camper) at the Center for Talented Youth summer program as a teenager. Dr. Matt has his own private practice, The Neurodiversity Collective, LLC, and offers therapy, consultation/coaching, and assessment. Additionally, Dr. Matt's facebook page has become a fun platform for mental health advocacy and humor.<br /><br />Hi perspective on helping all people get out of 'the box' that society tends to push people into is transformational. His focus on helping people identify values and living a value-driven life by getting them to ask 'the miracle question' is inspiring. His desire to help people play to their strengths and love their lives is empowering. His experience and close call with a shark while surfing in Sydney is a little scary, but entertaining!</p><p>Dr. Matt loves keynoting and speaking at conferences and has proudly done so all over the USA and internationally. He additionally provides trainings and consultations for business and school to increase support for neurodiverse individuals of all ages. He previously served as a board member of PAGE, the Pennsylvania Association for Gifted Education, and continues to work closely with multiple state organizations around the country.

      <title>Slivers of recovery</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The story of Leanne Spencer starts in March 2012. She was working for a market data company in the City of London; her career had spanned about 17 years but she was bored and unfulfilled, and self-medicating against increasing stress levels with alcohol (lots of it, daily). She felt like she was wasting her life, bouncing from pay day to pay day and living in an increasingly unsustainable way. Things came to a head one afternoon in March, as she was crossing over London Bridge having left a client meeting and had just received bad news about a deal she was expecting to hit my sales target. She was burned out, chronically abusing alcohol and several stone overweight. In addition to that, everything she was doing and saying lacked authenticity. It was time for a drastic change.<br /><br />On Monday morning she resigned. She was free, but unemployed and with very little in her savings account. It was a nervous time because she had no clear plan about what she was going to do next. She realised what she wanted to do was really at the intersection of two things: business and health, so that was the genesis of her company, Bodyshot. Since then, she has written three bestselling books, hosts two podcasts, has been written about in Entrepreneur Magazine and have spoken for companies such as Odeon Cinemas, DAZN, Britvic, Zurich Insurance, iTech Media, Bacardi, Thoughtworks, Moonbug Entertainment, Flywire and many more. Her personal values are to live truthfully, considerately and to "suck all the marrow out of life" to paraphrase the poet Thoreau. </p><p>In this fabulous podcast we discuss the key aspects of living a life of joy, and totally aligned with identity, values and purpose. The key area we focus on is recovery and how to simply and easily incorporate slivers of recovery into even the most hectic of lifestyles. This truly is a wonderful conversation I know you will benefit from.</p><p>To find out more about Leanne, go to her <a href="https://leannespencer.co.uk/about/" target="_blank">website</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The first thing you will notice about Rhianne Miller, as soon as she starts speaking, is that she is totally down-to-earth and passionate about loving her life. The first statement she made that grabbed my attention was that her goal is to  live a life that she doesn't need a holiday from. That is the life she has created for herself, so if that isn't a reason to listen to find out how she did that, I don't know what is.</p><p>Just a few years ago, Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world.

The first statement she made that grabbed my attention was that her goal is to  live a life that she doesn't need a holiday from. That is the life she has created for herself, so if that isn't a reason to listen to find out how she did that, I don't know what is.</p><p>Just a few years ago, Rhianne's life was travelling along beautifully. She was happy, seemingly healthy, had a great job and was loving her life. Soon after her 32nd birthday a breast cancer diagnosis rocked her world. She was expecting a great year, but was she ended up with was a journey that has totally transformed her life. After all the treatment, a mastectomy and a failed reconstruction, she decided that she would just live with one breast, and love herself anyway.

      <itunes:summary>In Episode 111, I speak with business owner, lover of life and absolute inspiration, Rhianne Miller. Rhianne thought her life was travelling just as she wanted: a job she loved, great friends and she had just celebrated her 32nd birthday. She declared it would be her best year yet. Well, it was definitely a transformational year, for sure, just not in the way she expected. The diagnosis of breast cancer, brutal treatment, mastectomy, a failed breast reconstruction led her to decide to live without her right breast. This sent her on a journey she didn&apos;t even realise she needed to go on. With the wisdom and perspective she has gathered, she found self-love, courage to be herself, honesty, vulnerability and about choosing herself. It is an incredible conversation you do not want to miss.</itunes:summary>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>John Maher is an International Keynote Speaker and bestselling author on Road Safety, Risk, and Family. His life journey is one of incredible triumph over tragedy. When a serious car accident derailed his life, he was 42 years old, a successful businessman with a wonderful family that included four beautiful daughters. Doctors told him he would never work again. After surgeries, rehabilitation, and therapy, John was on the road to at least a partial recovery, when an even a greater tragedy struck his family when the youngest of his four daughters, 18-year-old Carmen, lost her life in a car accident. </p><p>This was the most devastating of events redefining his life. Determined to do something positive about his tragedies, he began to speak to young people at secondary colleges and corporations all over Australia about how fragile and precious life is. John’s true-life story of his car crash, and then 2 years later that of his young daughter’s death in yet another car accident has inspired John to becoming a champion of road safety, using Carmen’s story to educate young drivers on safe driving. </p><p>John's talk is considered as the best road safety presentation you’ll ever hear; it will change your life. Nominated for the National Australia Day Council “<i>Australian of the Year Award” </i>in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017.  – Winner of the Victorian <i>“Regional Achievement & Community Awards” </i>in the category of SAFETY in 2014 – Winner of the “<i>Ballarat Safe City Award”</i> in the category of Road Safety in 2015 – Awarded the CommBank <i>“Australian of the Day:</i> on Friday December 4, 2015.

To be honest, talking to Kate, I felt, and still feel, that I need to play a bigger game. As she shared her story with me, and then told me how she had given up all her revenue streams to focus on building a bike out of bamboo in preparation to ride 5000km around the UK to create awareness of climate change, I knew this was a special lady and it was going to be an incredible conversation. I wasn't wrong.</p><p>Kate has incredible diversity in her background: engineer, athlete, coach, speaker, adventurer and advocate. She spoke about her transition from business owner, living in poverty, yet with so much richness, as she described it, to world champion tri-athlete in just two years, which is an incredible story in itself. Then to find her mission and passion for advocating for action against climate change and building sustainability, which has got her doing things that many would not believe possible. She is most certainly living a bigger game than many.</p><p>Kate is currently operating and thriving on faith that things will fall into place, and there are. She is focussed on her own identity and making sure it is one that she cannot lose in the journey of life.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have to admit, I sat spellbound for the vast majority of this podcast as Charlene Madden told her story.  I need to just warn you, as a potential listener, this podcast and what Charlene has experienced in her life is confronting and may be triggering for some people. But let me tell you, it will also be very inspiring, healing and hope-giving as Charlene, despite decades of abuse, addiction, mental health challenges and suicidal intent is now living a life full of passion and purpose inspiring people all around the world.</p><p>When she spoke at her first event  after choosing to live and help other people, and told her story, she explained to the audience her mission was to save just one life. Well, that mission was achieved when, as she was walking off stage she was approached by a lady who said: <i>You said your mission was to save one life, well, you did it! </i>The lady then simply turned and walked away. This is testament to the power of the story you are about to listen to.</p><p>Abandoned as a small child by her parents, sexually abused by her grandfather for 9 years from the age of 3 is not the beginning to life you would wish on anyone! It's not hard to understand why addiction, self-harm, zero-self worth and suicidal thoughts followed for Charlene and haunted her for many decades. How she is still here and now doing what she is doing, with an unconditional love for herself, came through divine intervention, for sure. She is inspiring people all around the world to choose life.

      <title>Actually living the dream</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kara Bitar had what would most would believe was the perfect life. She had a great job as a lawyer, worked on complex cases involving interesting legal issues, was appreciated and supported by her colleagues, was able to do a significant amount of pro bono work for victims of domestic violence and was eventually named leader of the firm’s pro bono domestic violence program. She made a lot of money, had a charming home in a beautiful city, had two cute little dogs and a loving husband. </p><p>Even though on the outside Kara looked successful, she was unhappy.  She was not sure why she  was unhappy. Given everything she had, she thought she should be happy. But she felt like my life primarily consisted of expending all of her energy at work, pushing her body and mind to their limits, coming home at night, eating dinner in a daze, collapsing into bed and then doing it all over again.  She  felt tired most of the time, her body ached, she had a number of health issues and her relationships felt superficial.  She  was also plagued by self-critical and fearful thoughts, nothing she did was ever good enough for her, no amount of success was enough. </p><p>After six years of law, she decided to leave and find healing, joy and her dream life. She tried everything and committed a full time approach for 18 months to find answers, only to find herself in a deeper and darker place than before she left law. Now questioning her decision to leave her profession, she decided to try one more thing, Kundalini Yoga. It was in that moment, she found something that actually helped her, and started her off on an exciting journey.</p><p>Kara now combines the dedication and commitment that it took to become a successful attorney, real-life training in what it takes to succeed at high-levels, and extensive research, experience and training in how to optimize our lives, to help individuals excel in their professional and creative endeavours, be energized and excited about life, and experience their full potential. She does this through Optimization Programs she developed, Coaching and teaching Kundalini Yoga.  Kara is a KRI Certified Instructor of Kundalini Yoga, Reiki Master, Certified ThetaHealing® Practitioner and Certified SoulRealignment® Practitioner. She is dedicated to help people actually live the dream!

      <itunes:summary>In episode 103, I speak former lawyer, now optimization coach and Kundalini Yoga teacher,  Kara Bitar. Kara was practising high-stakes corporate litigation at one of the largest law firms in the Southeast of the USA when she realized that, despite having what is deemed a high level of success, she was unhappy, stressed out, worn out, unhealthy and lacking in a love and excitement for life. Whilst many of her colleagues were joking about &apos;living the dream&apos;, Kara actually wanted to live the dream in her life and so went on a life changing journey. After choosing to leave law, she spent 18 months on a healing journey only to find herself in an even darker place. That is, until she discovered Kundalini Yoga, then everything changed for her. She is now living her dream and helping others do the same. This is a podcast not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Run for wishes</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>As a young man, Sean Bell had the Aussie dream of making at the highest level in Australian Rusle Football. He also had a passion for running as a way to re-connect with himself when things got tough. Well, things certainly got tough when his best mate died at a young age, and so he decided to give up football and focus on his running. After struggling to get through his first Melbourne Marathon with the help of a 'Zooper Dooper', he decided he was going to make running his thing and use it to help other people.</p><p>He made the decision that he was going to run 50 marathons in 50 days to honor his friend Joey and make a difference. On February 21, 2019, at the age of 21 years old, Sean completed this mammoth task. Now he is in the process of preparing himself, as of April 11, 2022, to run from Cairns to Melbourne with a vision of 60 in 60 for 60. In other words, he will average 60kms per day for 60 days to raise $60k for the <i>Make a Wish Foundation</i>. He calls it <i>Run for Wishes</i>.</p><p>Sean is an inspiring example of what is possible with a real reason, meaningful motivation, proper preparation and just one step at a time. His message is to chase your dreams, believe in your capacity and get out there and run for your wishes. Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.</p><p>To find out more about Sean, go to his <a href="https://seanbellruns.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p><p>To donate to his cause, the <i>Make a Wish Foundation</i>, <a href="https://www.seanbellrunforwishes.com/run-for-wishes" target="_blank">click here</a></p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

Her incredible openness to share her struggles will inspire many people, and the transformation that you will witness before your very ears will give you hope that things can change very quickly. All it takes is a simple shift in focus.</p><p>Shaun guides this conversation and takes Rosina through a process that leads her into third dimension living.

Jacqueline, despite being an introvert and all the challenges that go along with that, has followed her path from a young age. She had published her first of 25 books in her teens, and has gone on to be the leading authority on communication-based personal leadership for intersectional introverts. As an introverted woman of color, she’s leveraged her challenging upbringing into becoming a transformational speaker, bestselling author, and executive coach &amp; advisor to Fortune 500 executives, all while honoring her introversion. She has done all of this by following her A.W.E. approach to living. This is a powerful, paradigm-shifting and inspiring conversation not to be missed.</itunes:summary>

      <title>The third dimension</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Several years before his AFL career really took off Shaun Hart experienced a severe mental health challenge. His focus was on his fitness, his performance and his work ethic to the point of exhaustion, physically mentally and emotionally. It got to the point he didn't even want to get out of bed, and if it wasn't for his wife and the club chaplain, he would have given up. Instead, he went on to play 273 games, including three successful premierships in a row with the Lions, and winning the coveted Norm Smith medal in 2001, for best player in the Grand Final.</p><p>What changed for Shaun, and in fact the whole team, was the shift in focus from performance based identity to identity based performance. Knowing that he was a valuable person, then player, irrespective of his on field performance made all the difference to his game, and was the reason for the club amazing success. Since then, Shaun has gone on to coach sporting teams, businesses and individuals with this same emphasis.</p><p>Shaun talks in detail about the third dimension of the human experience, one that many ignore, and highlights why it is the most important. The first dimension is physical, the second mental and the third spiritual. With a focus on the six elements of the third dimension: identity, purpose, significance, value, character and self-worth, anything is possible. Trust me when I say this is a conversation not to be missed.</p><p>To connect with Shaun, send him an email: shaunhartcoach@gmail.com </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <title>New years restitution</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Craig Harper and I go back many decades and he is a great friend and former business partner of mine. He is a powerful speaker, prolific  author, popular radio presenter and host of globally acclaimed the 'You Project' podcast. We are back together in this podcast with a mission to help you do things differently in 2022. We re-coined the well-worn, over-used and less-than-effective phrase 'News Years Resolution', to the new-and-improved 'New Years Restitution'.</p><p>The definition of restitution is: <i>The act of restoring to the rightful owner something that has been taken away, lost, or surrendered. </i>We have all had things taken away, lost or surrendered and then we try to compensate by striving, pushing and fighting for external achievement in the hope that it will help us feel better about ourselves. Well, that's me anyway! For me, being a professional athlete, having an athletic body, being and author or the other things I achieved never worked to help me feel worthy. That is why I needed restitution. My feeling is that many people feel the same.</p><p>Craig shares his incredible insights into building the inner person, through focussing on values, identity and the things that bring joy. Life is to be lived and loved, and when we remove the rubbish that society expects of us and follow our own path, then loving life becomes a very real option. It is my greatest desire that you will immerse yourself into this conversation with Craig Harper and get all the wisdom that he has to share.</p><p>Craig can be found on his <a href="https://craigharper.net/" target="_blank">website</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/whiteboardlessons/" target="_blank">Instagram</a></p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <title>Your transformational why</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Because of his very analytical right-brain thinking, Matheo Galatis was formally trained as a Chartered Accountant with experience in mining, banking, retail and distribution. However, what his educational advice failed to take into account was that this career was not his passion, not did it energise or excite him. Consequently, Matheo spent an immense amount of time learning and studying various disciplines of healing and human potential. He has immersed himself in diverse personal development programs some of which he now facilitates.</p><p>He has personally trained over 200 consciousness coaches, has mentored over 40 coaches and has also trained and examined high performance transformational trainers and teams internationally. He has lead group transformational training programs for over 3000 participants in public courses, organisational trainings and retreats since 2012. Matheo is also a coach examiner and coach supervisor. He has worked with clients from 27 different countries, ranging from successful CEO’s, political and public personalities, executives, coaches, trainers, therapists and entrepreneurs.</p><p>What blew me away in this conversation Matheo was his perspective around self-worth and living a true and authentic life. When the truth is revealed, Matheo believes real communication and transformation can occur. He is currently writing a book on how to increase self-worth and transform feelings of unworthiness, and believes when we resolve our past, we allow ourselves to pursue our true potential. Matheo is taking the personal development industry to a whole new level by supporting people to find what he calls <a href="https://www.matheogalatis.com/transform-your-life">‘your transformational why’</a> – the one thing that usually prevents them from getting unstuck and achieving their life ambitions.

Made redundant out of the blue. With his 41st birthday only weeks away and with a young family to provide for, he found myself in a bit of a pickle. To complicate things, he was also struggling a bit in a number of areas of his life. In effect, he was putting up a brave front while battling away behind closed doors. He  was not depressed, but he was down at times and often sleepless with worry. He realised this is not an uncommon feeling for men, and  became passionate about finding a way to help men re-engage with their lives. </p><p>The research that he undertook was eye opening and life changing. It was changing his life and he knew that it would do the same to the men of his generation. He talks about a rite-of-passage that all boys need to go through to become healthy men and have a positive influence on many other members of their community.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for well over 20 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being. His journey led him to an intense interest in the role that nutrition played in body building, but also how it impacted every person and in every area of life. Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.</p><p>In this podcast we discuss a very topical and relevant subject: surviving the silly season and making it a season to be healthy. There are many temptations and challenges to looking after ourselves at this time of the years. Unfortunately, many people, in just a couple of weeks, will do significant damage to their bodies without even realising it, with the attitude of over-indulgence at this time of the year. It doesn't have to be that way, and you can still indulge, enjoy and stay lean, healthy and energised at this time of the year.</p><p>Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful strategies that will transform your eating habits and your life, at this treacherous time of the year, if you take them on board and take action. It is my greatest desire that you will take positive action and truly make it a season to be healthy. Perry is a knowledgeable, passionate and entertaining man who I loved talking to.  I know you will get a lot from this podcast, so please enjoy.</p><p>Find out more about Perry on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pezonator1/" target="_blank">Instagram page</a> and/or email him at perryvenakis@gmail.com</p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

She is the author of two books, has contributed to another four, is a professional speaker, empowering trainer and passionate coach. Her message is strong and clear and it is that optimism is where we need to be, if living our best life is the goal. She explained to me the difference between optimism and positive thinking, and it was very powerful.</p><p>Helen's resolve and message of optimism was severely tested when her husband of 30 years, Lachlan, became very ill and passed away only four years ago. As she was describing this heartbreaking journey, she also inspired me with the passion and love she and Lachlan had for each other. I was spellbound as she explained how they went about making sure Lachlan left as he chose to go and Helen lived her life after he had gone. I discovered one thing for sure: optimism is not just what Helen talks about, it is how she lives her life. </p><p>Helen's process for an optimising life is simple and empowering, and I know it will impact every single person who listens and acts of her four step process. She has transformed her life, her business and is now re-married and blissfully happy.

      <title>T.E.A.R.S. of Joy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I have an incredible passion, in fact mission and purpose, to create a wave of wellness all around the world and help people live their best lives. My guest host Deborah Stathis has a very similar purpose. As I launch my latest book 'TEARS of Joy', I am truly excited about and expecting that this book will impact the hearts and minds of everyone who reads it. I want people to experience tears of joy in their lives over and over again. I want people to understand there is a predictable process to make that happen. That is what the book and this podcast is all about.</p><p>Everything we have and will have, experience and will experience in our lives are the end product of the unconscious routines we create. Those routines if deliberately created, will produce tears of joy, trust me. It all starts with a deliberate focus of our thoughts, which leads us to experience an empowering emotion, which by definition moves us into spontaneous action. With determination and the right strategies we can all develop the routines that will lead us to abundant and joyful success in life. That is what the book and this podcast is all about.</p><p>Deb does an amazing job hosting this podcast, and she is an inspiring example of this TEARS of joy process. You will love the conversation. You will be inspired by the stories. You will be empowered to create permanent positive change in your life. You will be ready to get started as soon as the podcast is over.

      <title>Empowering teen voice</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Kelly Murphy, Jarred Kellerman and I got together with one goal in mind. That is to help teenagers believe more in themselves, find more confidence in the strengths they have and feel empowered to speak up and feel heard. You may have heard that it takes a community to raise a healthy young person, but actually, it takes a healthy and aware community to raise healthy young people. This is why we started YACC, Youth Advocates of Community Change. To help young people, parents, educators and community leaders come together, get on the same page and build a healthy and aware community.</p><p>Kelly Murphy after dealing with trauma and homelessness as a young person is a personal counselor who works with many troubled your people at the Australian Center of Trauma and Wellness. Jarred Kellerman, also with challenges as a disengaged young person, is now on a mission to help build resilience in adolescent youth & improve confidence in joining the "real world". These are two wonderful people who I respect totally and love working with.</p><p>This is a powerful conversation about how we can help empower the amazing potential that lies within every young person. Regardless of whether you are a teenager, were a teenager, have a teenager, educate teenagers or having any contact with or influence over a teenager, this conversation will have something that will make a difference, not just in the lives of young people, but in your own life as well.

      <title>Life is not a competition</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I first met Susan Meaney when she was senior leader, amazing athlete and Australian player with the Melbourne Phoenix Netball Club. Myself and my good friend Craig Harper had the privilege of doing the strength and conditioning work for the team for several years. She was a super-focussed and incredibly disciplined athlete who made the most of her time as a player, going on to play close to 250 games at the highest level, including 9 for her country. </p><p>Susan was way more than an incredible athlete. She was a great leader of people and did so by example and by encouraging (and entertaining) her team mates. When her first son came along, she decided to leave the sport as a player and focus on being the best mother she could be. Now with four children, Meaners (as I call her), has been able to find  and love her new life as a mother, but also as an influencer in sport and with the younger generation coming through.  How she transitioned from elite sport to amazing mum, is a wonderful story all parents, sports people and, in fact, everyone, needs to hear.</p><p>The comment that resonated with me the most was when Meaners said, 'life is not a competition', and that comparison with others will never lead to happiness. She suggested we stay in our own lane, which I love. Susan is focused on her own wellbeing, her family and making a difference in the lives of people she comes into contact with. This is a powerful, inspiring and wonderful conversation you do not want to miss.</p><p>To connect with Susan on FB <a href="https://www.facebook.com/susan.meaney.79" target="_blank">Click here</a>. </p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pavel Verbnyak is a passionate man. He was born in communist Soviet Union, under very strict and controlling rule, and he had a passionate desire to be free from the limiting thoughts and beliefs that were a hangover from that time. Even though he was very young when the <i>Iron Curtain</i> came down, the Russian people were still very much conditioned with these limitations, and breaking free took strength courage and passion. </p><p>Pavel was a young man when he decided he would not be bound by limits and set off on a life-changing journey to understand the secrets of success. He immersed himself in learning, understanding and applying what he learned. He has mentors with the immense caliber as Jack Canfield and Brian Tracy. He has taken what he learned and used it to help him transform his life. He now  speaks to corporate and public audiences on the subjects of Personal and Professional Development to crowds of more than 10,000 each year, including the executives and staff of many of the world's largest corporations. His exciting talks and seminars on Leadership, Selling, Self-Esteem, Goals, Strategy, Creativity and Success Psychology bring about immediate changes and long-term results.</p><p>In this podcast we discuss many things, and have a great time. It's interesting that the thing that has most set him up for the amazing success he now enjoys is very simple, and something we all can do. He calls it his hour of power, and it is simply the routine he has created in the morning.

      <title>It&apos;s never too late to have a happy childhood</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The very last thing Yair Kellner said after this captivating conversation, and talking about more than 60 years of adventure, outdoors, camping, hiking, paddle-boarding, canoeing, climbing and bike-packing was this; <i>It's never too late to have a happy childhood. </i>Now in his mid-sixties, Yair is still loving his childhood, and all the adventures that go with it<i>.</i></p><p>From the age of five he has had a passion for the great outdoors, the beauty of nature, and learning to adapt in environments much different to the one most of us are used to. The lessons he has picked up along the way are not just about how to survive when you fall through the ice in 30-50 degree below temperatures with an 80kg fully-laden bike. He has learned about perspective, humility, peace, mindfulness, determination and understanding the rules that each situation requires. </p><p>How he survived in Alaska, when all the odds were stacked against him, is a story you don't want to miss. I mean, when taking all your clothes off after getting out of the below zero river to avoid them encasing you in the 30 degree below outside air is your best option for survival, you know things are bad. This is a man with calm courage, life experience, amazing wisdom and powerful stories. This is a wonderful conversation you will want to enjoy.</p><p>To send a message to Yair, contact me via email <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/get-in-touch/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <title>Healing through feeling</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Up until the age of 12, Matthew Caruana had lived a very typical life for a child in the city of Sydney. He had a  great family, lots of friends and a comforting neighborhood, BUT everything was about to change drastically!</p><p>He constantly questioned his self worth, self image and whether he even brought any value to the world? He often wondered if people would even care if he was alive or not? This caused major depression within himself and after years of dwelling on these questions, he felt even more worthless and struggled to see a reason to go on. He could’ve sworn he was the only one at the time feeling these emotions and having these thoughts, so he bottled them up and kept them all within.</p><p>These thoughts sent him down a path of destruction with drug abuse, depression, anxiety and ultimately on the 9th of January 2016, at only 16 years of age, he decided enough was enough and it was time to end his suffering. He made the final decision that it was time to end his life. Suicide seemed like his only option. He thought it would be his final moment, but woke up in hospital, two weeks later, with a Spinal Cord Injury and a level of sadness and depression, now enhanced by the fact that he couldn’t even do suicide right.</p><p>He had to quickly adapt to new changes in his life. After a chance encounter with an inspiring stranger, he discovered the value in connection and relationships, and began to open up to others. With that, all meaningful relationships grew closer in his life and things started to progressively get better for him! Most importantly, he began to feel acceptance.</p><p>He started to believe he could help people and so began sharing his story. As he did, all thoughts and feelings of Depression, Anxiety and Suicide magically disappeared. The questions about self worth and self image were soon replaced with a sense of purpose and a reason to live. He had found his calling and realised he could help others to find theirs. His message is powerful. His message is that when we feel, we will heal, and when share, we see how much people care.

      <title>Overcome overwhelm and burnout</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In 2011, Geneviève Pépin got her dream job. She thought to herself, ”Starting today, I am waking up knowing that I am working toward saving the world."  She gave it everything she got. A year later, she resigned. She was crying in the shower, developed an eating disorder, and didn’t want to get out of bed anymore. Enough!</p><p>She was lucky to be offered another dream job opportunity right after. New job, new life! She had a supportive boss, was working with awesome people, and loved her job. She worked hard and climbed the ladder and was on top of the world. In 2014, things started going south, again. Her anxiety levels were off the charts, she often worked until midnight, her eating disorder was getting stronger, and she  found myself crying, alone in my city-center apartment more often than not. </p><p>Within 60 days she had moved to a different continent – and as soon as she got her work visa, was offered a great management job opportunity. This was late 2015. New country, new language, new colleagues, new job, new life! She was determined to succeed. In 2017, her stress levels were higher than ever, her eating disorder was replaced by other self-harming behaviors, she didn’t care about her job anymore and was coming home crying. She quit. </p><p>She then got into entrepreneurship and was determined to create the real change she wanted to see in the world. New boss (her), new industry, new lifestyle, new life! She was glued to her computer and gave it everything I got, and you guessed it, after the honeymoon phase passed, her health and happiness started going south. Again. Then things finally changed for Geneviève as she finally realised the one thing in common with each period of burnout, was her and her mindset. She then went about to change her life, and in the process is changing lives all around the world.

After going from job to job, country to country and employed to self-employed, trying to find an external answer to her continual overwork, overwhelm and burnout issues, Geneviève finally realized the problem was not the job, the country or her state of employment, but her own mindset. She hadn’t changed: how she was dealing with situations, how she was using her time, how she talked to herself, how she was communicating and how she was setting (or not) boundaries. If you are ready to learn how to banish busy, and create the space in your life to do what you love, with people you love, then this is a conversation not to miss.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Pure perpetual positivity</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In 1995, Jackie Simmons was blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt after a day of clothes shopping went awry. This took Jackie down a path which led to depression, addiction, medical mysteries, and deadly silences. The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone. Although she declared to the outside world that she was fine, Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.  </p><p>Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter, broke the silence. Jackie calls August 3, the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.” From that moment, with her daughters, Jackie's mission became to prevent teen suicide. Together they created “The Talk to Stop Teen Suicide,” a script to build emotional resiliency inside families and beyond.  Jackie calls the strategy a way to create pure prevention, but trust me it is way more than that. It is absolutely a way to move people towards pure perpetual positivity.  </p><p>Now a TEDx speaker, Radio Show Host, International Best-selling Author, Mindset Magician, co-founder and Director of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie is focussed on her mission to “Stop Teen Suicide.”  This conversation is real, raw and powerful and you will be inspired to become part of this movement to, not just save so many valuable lives, but help lead them to purpose, passion and perpetual positivity.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In 2018 Bruce Molloy could not have found himself at a darker place in life. Ironically, just a few months before losing his job, his relationship and his home, he had purchased a camper van to go on some travels with his then partner. As he contemplated his situation, and with some very dark thoughts, he spotted a twenty cent coin wedged between the windscreen and the dashboard of his camper van. He picked it up and, with nothing else to lose, decided to flip the coin to direct his next move.</p><p>That simple and single flip of the coin, started Bruce on a wonderful journey of travel, experiences, enlightenment and freedom, that he still enjoys to this day. It took him around Australia and over to Bali. It helped him face and overcome many fears. It was the reason why he wrote his book in just 10 days. It was what brought him back to Australia where he started his business Black Dog Green. </p><p>I was mesmerised as I listened to Bruce talk about this incredible journey. As soon as it was over, I flipped a coin to work out what I would have for dinner that night, and I ended up cooking something that I had not previously considered, It was yummy.  I know you will be totally engrossed  by Bruce in this podcast. Hopefully it will inspire you to flip a coin and let go of some of the things holding you back from living the life of adventure that is waiting for you.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>I am blessed to have known Perry Venakis for well over 20 years, so far. When we met, he was just starting his personal training journey after a very interesting background as a mechanic, a farmer and then with a passion to help people with their health and well being.

Perry works with many people to help them live optimal lives through eating simply, naturally and nutritionally to help them get results that seem to very complex. This interest led him, at the age of 55, to study a Masters degree in nutrition and then go on to start the Australia Academy of Raw Nutrition.</p><p>Perry and I chat about some simple but powerful concepts that will transform your eating habits and your life, if you take them on board and take action.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lachlan Winter  is director of Abilitive Pty Ltd an NDIS registered provider for support work, support coordination and allied health services. I am also a practicing Accredited Exercise Physiologist. His passion is around the concept of physical freedom. He believes the human body is capable of so much more than almost all of us give it credit for. It is his aim to spread that belief. This message comes from Lachlan's own lived experience of many extremes from professional athlete to decrepit and bed bound with illness and to his current state of a more balanced being.</p><p>Standing at a height of 7 feet (213cm) tall, Lachlan has spend many years of his life pursuing high achievement. He chased a professional basketball career, with the goal of being the best ever. He chased control over his circumstances after being bullied at school for his height. And for well over a decade, he chased optimal wellbeing after being stuck with the debilitating Crohn's disease.</p><p>At his lowest point point, and on the edge of life, he weighed only 60kg, when the normal weight for his height was 120kg. It was a relenting and heart-breaking journey looking for answers that finally led him to letting go of his need to have all the answers. After surrendering to the help of others and trusting that all would be okay, he finally found the answers that helped him regain his health and his life. This is a compelling and passionate podcast that you do not want to miss.</p><p>Find out more about Lachlan on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/giant.strides/" target="_blank">instagram page</a> and his business on his <a href="http://www.abilitive.com.au/" target="_blank">website</a></p><p>Thanks to Pietro and the team at Fitii for sponsoring this podcast.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>My conversation with Craig Harper, as always, is one you will get an enormous amount of value from. I just knew, before the conversation started, it was going to be a powerful and profound conversation.  Both Craig and I have struggled with moving from reacting then responding to the last 12 months or so and the impact of COVID in the world and our lives.

In our first three conversations, episode 2, 13 and 28 we have discussed topics and ideas to help people create a different mindset and positive change in their lives. In this episode the goal is no different, as we focus responding instead of reacting and learning to love ourselves, just as we are. In the time when many people have struggled, Craig is doing amazing things and has even hit more than 10,000 downloads per day with his podcast. I want to know how he did that, you?</p><p>He is direct, honest, inspiring, hilarious, serious, straight to the point and feisty. Let me tell you, Craig shares openly about what it takes to love yourself, no matter your flaws, and achieve whatever you want, no matter your current perception of your ability.

      <title>The truth about trendy diets</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Delia McCabe, PhD, is based on the Gold Coast, in Queensland, Australia, is a powerful spokeswoman for enhancing mental well-being via targeted brain and gut nutrition, using the latest evidence from the field of nutritional neuroscience. Using her psychology background, in combination with her neurological and nutritional knowledge, Delia provides a unique perspective on improving cognitive function, including focus, concentration and learning capacity, shifting mood, enhancing our ability to manage stress and creating new habits with ease. </p><p>Delia is one smart cookie, and not just because of her education and PhD, but very much because she eats to be optimally healthy and live her best life, and to teach others how to do the same.

Through damage sustained in the flood waters, her pancreas no longer works. Tiffany is now an insulin dependent diabetic. Like many survivors of this event and others similar to it, she also struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.</p><p>After months back home, she finally began to truly listen to her own inner voice. She realised that no matter how dire things seem, the human spirit can overcome anything.  Her determination to live her best life, not just for herself, but for her friends that were lost has showered her in determination for their story and hers to never be forgotten. </p><p>Tiffany has shared her story on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=452489582271383" target="_blank">Channel 7 News</a>,<a href="https://7news.com.au/sunrise/on-the-show/swiss-canyon-disaster-survivor-tiffany-johnson-shares-her-story-20-years-on-c-203918" target="_blank"> Sunrise</a> and ABC Radio National.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Heather Rendulic wants to live in a world where everyone feels empowered when they face life’s challenges. She knows how hard life can get. As a young stroke and brain surgery survivor, she learned the tools needed to become an overcomer.

It means giving power and strategy to anything you want to achieve. At the age of just 31, Heather has the wisdom and perspective of a person much older. What she didn't realise for the first 22 years of her life, was that she was effectively a ticking time bomb. Inside her brain was a cavernous angioma, a lesion, that was just growing and getting ready to rupture at any time. Well, it actually happened 5 times over an 11 month period and led to a nine hour brain surgery to remove it. As she woke from the surgery, paralysed, the sight of her sister sobbing and to be married 6 months later, led Heather to say,<i> 'Stop your sobbing, I'll be dancing at your wedding.'</i></p><p>Amazingly, despite all professional opinions, Heather 'put the spring in her thing,' and was dancing at her sister's wedding. In fact, her attitude and the things she did to get herself there will inspire you and motivate you beyond belief.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Carol Cooke is a truly remarkable lady, with character traits that we can all hone and develop. Her courage, her persistence, her self-proclaimed stubbornness and her total expectancy that it would happen, kept her going from one setback to the next until she finally overcame her many challenges to win her first Para-Olympic gold medal for Australia in 2012. She was 50 years and it took 41 years of creating, and she now has three gold medals from two Para-Olympic games.</p><p>Carol is about to turn 60 years old and is still acting like a women many years her junior. On the verge of heading to Tokyo to compete in her third Para-Olympic games, I asked her what she expected from these games. She looked at me and said, in no uncertain terms, 'I expect to win!' It is this powerful expectancy that has helped her overcome disappointment, heartbreak, disease and time to be where she is today, and having this inspiring conversation with me. </p><p>In addition to her remarkable athletic career, she is on the verge of publishing her second book, called, 'The Force Within.' How she received a publishing contract from a traditional publisher one week after she submitted the manuscript, is unheard of. However, for Carol, it was just what she expected. If you want better results in any area of your life, then the message in this podcast is not to be missed. Enjoy my conversation with Carol Cooke.</p><p>Carol can be found on her website at <a href="https://carolcooke.com.au/" target="_blank">www.carolcooke.com.au</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Carol Cooke is a truly remarkable lady, with character traits that we can all hone and develop. Her courage, her persistence, her self-proclaimed stubbornness and her total expectancy that it would happen, kept her going from one setback to the next until she finally overcame her many challenges to win her first Para-Olympic gold medal for Australia in 2012. She was 50 years and it took 41 years of creating, and she now has three gold medals from two Para-Olympic games.</p><p>Carol is about to turn 60 years old and is still acting like a women many years her junior. On the verge of heading to Tokyo to compete in her third Para-Olympic games, I asked her what she expected from these games. She looked at me and said, in no uncertain terms, 'I expect to win!' It is this powerful expectancy that has helped her overcome disappointment, heartbreak, disease and time to be where she is today, and having this inspiring conversation with me. </p><p>In addition to her remarkable athletic career, she is on the verge of publishing her second book, called, 'The Force Within.' How she received a publishing contract from a traditional publisher one week after she submitted the manuscript, is unheard of. However, for Carol, it was just what she expected. If you want better results in any area of your life, then the message in this podcast is not to be missed. Enjoy my conversation with Carol Cooke.</p><p>Carol can be found on her website at <a href="https://carolcooke.com.au/" target="_blank">www.carolcooke.com.au</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

Now, at the age of 59 years old, she has three Para-Olympic gold medals in cycling and is on the verge of winning another gold medal in Tokyo this year, and publishing her second book.

      <title>Hitting the drop zone</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Ossie Khan is doing amazing things. Not only does he jump out of planes on a regular basis, he helps many people face and overcome their fears to do the same thing. His 27 plus years of experience and lessons have led him to a successful career as a sky-diver, teacher, speaker and encourager, and led him to say, <i> “Skydiving at its core is about reading situations, making decisions and being accountable for your actions."</i></p><p>When he declared that he had done over 10,000 jumps and never once broken a bone, I was  interested. He explains that the reason why is because he is always focussed on and committed to the preparation and process required to get everything done properly, even if it takes longer than he would like.  Ossie says that when you follow the process, hitting the drop-zone safely and successfully is a predictable outcome.</p><p>The drop-zone is a metaphor for any or all of the things you want to successfully experience and achieve in your life. In this discussion, Ossie and I talk about the power of process, accountability and moving through fear if hitting the drop-zone in any area is a goal. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.</p><p>Ossie can be found via his <a href="https://www.ossiekhan.com/" target="_blank">website</a>.</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <title>The purpose in adversity</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Peter Chambers is an inspiring Aussie who, whilst living with the incurable Motor Neurone Disease, has found a reason to be and is living a wonderful life. From deep within he has found peace in the storm and purpose in his adversity and  is now on a mission to make the most of every second, enjoy the simple things in life and make a positive difference in the lives of others.</p><p>Peter's first symptoms in late 2017 to early 2018 led to a spinal fusion operation in May 2018. After the operation, his shoulders lost muscle rapidly and, whilst he gradually regained some use in his left arm, his left hand was severely weakened and he has never regained any more than about 10% of movement in his right arm. Neurologists, at the end of 2019, finally agreed the diagnosis was MND. He was diagnosed the Arm Flail version of MND, which lead to his arms losing all muscle first, then other muscles to follow.</p><p>Rather than fall into victim mode, Peter chose to find the positives in his situation, to live and love every moment and to fuel his purpose. He now devotes his time and energy to helping promote awareness of the disease and to be a voice of advocacy. I love his attitude towards life and Peter Chambers is a man who will touch your heart and your life. This is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.</p><p>Peter can contacted via <a href="pgchambo@gmail.com" target="_blank">his email</a> or through LinkedIn.</p><p><a href="https://www.mnd.org.au/donations">Click here</a> to donate to  MND Victoria</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

More than 7 months later, despite her own COVID related adversity which has separated her and restricted her from being with her family in the UK, she has a very powerful message.

Natalie is 6&apos;3&quot; tall and, with her heels, stands proudly at 6&apos;6&quot;. She is confident and inspiring and whilst she is the founder of a successful fashion brand for tall women, her message is far more profound than just being about beautiful clothes. Over the last 12 months, like many of us, Natalie has faced some serious challenges due to COVID and separation from her family in the UK. Her message about finding purpose and the hidden advantages that lie in every challenge is inspiring and encouraging and this is a conversation that everyone needs to listen to.</itunes:summary>

      <title>Survival to thrival!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I first saw Tracey Jewel on the reality show, 'Married at First Sight' back in 2018 where she really impressed me with the way she handled herself with an ongoing barrage of traumatic experiences on the show. It was then a random meeting where Tracey and I actually met for the first time, and after that, I was even more impressed with this inspiring lady </p><p>At that time I didn't know that she was already a successful author, speaker and coach who helped empower people to live their best lives. So, Tracey and I started  running some events together, but the wheels started falling off Tracey's wagon, as she wasn't expecting the relentless and hateful fallout she would experience on social media from her time on television. It was this horrific and inexcusable bullying that left Tracey feeling helpless and spiralling to the point where taking her own life seemed to be the only way out.</p><p>The great news is that Tracey is a resilient and courageous lady who picked herself up, dusted herself off and has gone onto rebuild herself and her life. In this conversation with Tracey, I invented a new word, as I described her journey as going from survival to thrival. If you would like to know how to 'thrival' in your own life, then this is a wonderfully inspiring conversation that I encourage you to listen to.</p><p>Tracey can be found on her <a href="https://www.upself.com.au/" target="_blank">website</a> and followed and contacted on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/traceyjewel_ify/" target="_blank">Instagram page</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

It's about having a go at things, even if they scare you. He made it a habit of getting out of his comfort zone time after time, starting when he was  child who was influenced by his grandmother to hug trees! What I got most out of this chat with Tim is that amazing opportunities and a great life lies beyond the comfort zone.

      <itunes:summary>In episode 44, I speak to inspiring author Doctor of Psychology, Dr Delia McCabe. Delia shifted her focus from conventional talking therapy, after completing her Masters in Psychology. She had discovered that what we eat impacts brain function directly, and came to understand that until the brain is properly nourished no amount of talking can support optimal cognitive functioning. She has since immersed herself in the fascinating world of nutritional neuroscience and offers a focused, insightful, evidence-based approach into how specific foods can improve our mood, concentration, memory and learning ability and help us manage stress and remain calm and happy in our busy, stressful world.

Delia shifted her focus from conventional talking therapy, after completing her Masters in Psychology.

      <title>Harnessing the power of emotion.</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Deborah Stathis was a normal, happy and optimistic 19-year-old, when the car she was driving hit a slippery part of the highway, slid out of control and wrapped itself around a telegraph pole, crushing her on the inside. There were no airbags in the car, so Deb sustained life-altering injuries to her face, her eyes and her brain. Medical professionals stated that she would never be the same and would be affected, physically and mentally, for the rest of her life. Deb did not accept that diagnosis.</p><p>The definining  moment came for Deb whilst alone in her room in the rehab centre. She decided to look at the thing she had been protected from for many weeks... her face. She looked at the devastating injuries, she cried and she said to herself,  "You're here now, what are you going to do?" What she did will amaze and inspire you as she went on to transform and reconstruct her face, her body and her life.</p><p>It was the fear she experienced when she thought about a permanently affected life that enabled her to harness the power of a relentless determination that moved her into positive action. This emotion and action continued until she had beaten every medical odd and recreated the Deborah Stathis she wanted to be. Having proved opportunities can be created from tragedy, Deborah shares how, by harnessing the power of emotion, anything is possible. Trust me when I say, this is a podcast and a conversation that will change your life.</p><p>Deborah can be found on her website at <a href="https://www.tragicopportunities.com" target="_blank">www.tragicopportunities.com</a></p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <title>Headstrong - Keep dancing!</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Heather Rendulic wants to live in a world where everyone feels empowered when they face life’s challenges. She knows how hard life can get. As a young stroke and brain surgery survivor, she learned the tools needed to become an overcomer. When she’s not working as a Human Resources Professional, Heather is sharing her message of hope as a motivational speaker, mentor and author as she shares the art of finding beauty in the chaos. </p><p>At the age of just 31, Heather has the wisdom and perspective of a person much older. What she didn't realise for the first 22 years of her life, was that she was effectively a ticking time bomb. Inside her brain was a cavernous angioma, a lesion, that was just growing and getting ready to rupture at any time. Well, it actually happened 5 times over an 11 month period and led to a nine hour brain surgery to remove it. As she woke from the surgery, paralysed, the sight of her sister sobbing and to be married 6 months later, led Heather to say,<i> 'Stop your sobbing, I'll be dancing at your wedding.'</i></p><p>Amazingly, despite all professional opinions, Heather was dancing at her sister's wedding. In fact, her attitude and the things she did to get herself there will inspire you and motivate you beyond belief. Heather has just published her first book, <i>Headstrong</i>, and is now on the verge of having an even greater impact on many people, all around the world.

She gets raw and vulnerable as she talks about some of the ups and downs of 2020 and the impact of COVID on herself and her clients. As a talented musician, when she finally gave herself permission to enjoy this pursuit, the transformation was incredible. Behind the music was a fearful lady, but that same music helped her move through the darkness and into the light. Morgan is now really making a difference in many lives.</p><p>I threw a challenge at Morgan for this podcast. That was to write and sing a song that would show people the power music has to help deal with the dark places we sometimes find ourselves in.

      <title>Remember death, live forever</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Adam Wallace is energetic, animated (yes, even on a podcast), passionate and purpose-driven. To me, he epitomises what living your best life looks like. He loves everything he does, he is making a difference in many people's lives and he is leaving a legacy that will live on, long after he is gone. He has a tattoo which represents, 'remember death, live forever.' To him this means we need to recognise that we are only on planet earth for a finite period of time, so it's important that we make the most of every second and do things that will live on after we have gone.</p><p>He has the benefit of both an analytical and creative side. His engineering background combined with his passion for empowering children with his books, drawing and school visits has seen him go on to write more than 84 books and sell over 2,300,000 of them all around the world. He has had seven of his books hit top-ten on the NY Times bestseller list. His astronomical success has come through vision, expectancy, goal setting and positive action. </p><p>This is an incredibly powerful, energising and inspiring conversation in which Adam offers some powerful and simple strategies that you can apply today to start living your own best life. His message is clear and it is profound, and that is, you are only alive for a finite period of time, so don't waste it doing things that you don't love. There is a joyful world of passion and purpose waiting for you, as soon as you are ready to grab it.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Deborah Stathis was a normal, happy and optimistic 19-year-old, when the car she was driving hit a slippery part of the highway, slid out of control and wrapped itself around a telegraph pole, crushing her on the inside. There were no airbags in the car, so Deb sustained life-altering injuries to her face, her eyes and her brain. Medical professionals stated that she would never be the same and would be affected, physically and mentally, for the rest of her life. Deb did not accept that diagnosis.</p><p>The definining  moment came for Deb whilst alone in her room in the rehab centre. She decided to look at the thing she had been protected from for many weeks... her face. She looked at the devastating injuries, she cried and she said to herself,  "You're here now, what are you going to do?" What she did will amaze and inspire you as she went on to transform and reconstruct her face, her body and her life.</p><p>Deborah has multiple qualifications in Cognitive Behavioral Coaching practices, Management and Training and Assessment. She is also Certified in world-leading Accelerated-Learning Techniques and is an experienced Professional Education Consultant. She expands on her methods which saw her triumph against the odds and combines her skills in professional and business development to coach and inspire with her book, seminars, workshops and programs designed for individuals, groups, women’s groups and businesses.</p><p>Having proved opportunities can be created from tragedy, Deborah shares her Tragic Opportunities Process and Revival Plan Formula to help others achieve their goals and dreams.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>For as long as Kimberly Vandenberg can remember, she has loved the water. It was no doubt that she would go on to be an Olympian, she just didn't think it would take as long or be as hard as it was. Persistence, courage and five attempts at Olympic selection finally saw her dream become a reality. She explained that when she was able to block out the noise around her, be in the moment and stay focused in her own lane, her success was inevitable.</p><p>Her achievements speak for themselves. Olympic bronze medalist Kimberly specializes in both the butterfly and freestyle. She is a two-time gold medalist from the 2011 Pan American games in the 200 butterfly and the 4x200 freestyle relay, a silver medalist from the 2007 world championships in the 200 fly and a three-time national champion in the 200 fly. </p><p>Since competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, she has traveled the world giving motivational talks and teaching swim clinics and private lessons to international schools throughout the United States, Asia, Australia, Europe and South America. She continues to swim for the New York Athletic Club and is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Psychology at Pepperdine University. In addition to her swim instruction, Kimberly offers Vinyasa Yoga classes designed specifically for swimmers as well as mentoring work through Rise Athletes. </p><p>Kimberly, now based in the Pacific Palisades, California, is enthusiastic, entertaining, inspiring and shares many lessons that will change your life, if you apply them. None more profound than the importance of, no matter your aspiration, staying in your own lane.

He was not eating every day and, at six years old, he was removed from his mother's care and placed into an orphanage.

But he learned that sometimes a wrong turn actually sets you on the right path. For a myriad of reasons, growing up in an orphanage was the best thing that ever happened to him.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>From a young age and with the DNA to achieve, Nick Bracks pushed his body and mind to the limit. At the age of 11, he was training 5 or 6 hour per day, in secret, as he aspired to be the best of the best in the sporting world. This constant need to compare, compete, drive and push himself led him to anxiety, depression and ultimately alcohol related issues. He knew that if something didn't change, his life would be cut short. So, with the support of his parents  and trained professionals, Nick began to work through his issues.</p><p>He says; "Really, my whole 20s were about trying things, failing, learning and searching for what I wanted to do with the rest of my life… that came with a lot of turmoil, but if I hadn’t gone and tried so many things and made mistakes I wouldn’t have found the things I am passionate about, I wouldn’t have found the path I am on now."</p><p>Nick has now found his purpose and spends his time advocating for mind wellness. Nick’s passion for changing mindsets, and finding the good in every situation, has led him to conversations with CEOs, school kids – anyone willing to listen – advocating for the cause closest to his heart: mental health awareness. His podcast, <a href="https://nickbracks.com/podcast/" target="_blank">Move Your mind</a>, is having a powerful impact and he is an in-demand speaker all around the world.

From an external viewpoint, it would seem that she was living a dream life. She had money, status and profile, but she was miserable. She was not living her truth and the stress of this lie was reaping havoc on her physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, leading her to significant dis-ease.</p><p>As a result, her life spiralled. Her marriage ended, her health suffered and her strong financial position dissolved into debt. When Alaina finally realised she needed to shift her paradigm, things started to change for the better.

In the process, she realised that she was creating her own suffering, and that she also had the power to end that suffering and live an extraordinary life. </p><p>She stopped chasing more as the answer to feeling satisfied and happy.

      <title>Hack the status quo</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>As a speaker, facilitator, coach and radio host, Greg Sellar strives in the pursuit of better. He is a card-carrying member of Generation X. He worked in the health and fitness industry for over 25 years, presenting to more than half a million people in 55 countries on behalf of companies and sponsors including Nike. Regardless of his achievements, he had recurring questions about what life was going to be like for him at 50, or even 60 and beyond. What would his future look like?</p><p>Greg’s not sure what happened when he turned 40. It wasn’t a mid-life crisis, because there was no crisis, he just thought, “enough”. He’d had enough knowing that the upcoming year was going to be a carbon copy of the last. He knew his life was good, but he wanted phenomenal. If the next 40 years were going to be different, his cage needed some serious rattling.</p><p>In the spirit of “enough”, he hacked his status quo. He literally turned his life upside down. After moving back to Sydney following 17 years in London, Greg studied coaching, leadership and mentoring, focusing on neuroscience, positive psychology and NLP. He took everything he had learnt from his work, travels and the extraordinary people he’d met and decided to act. His speaking, workshops, coaching and programs are the result. </p><p>In this conversation with Greg, he is real and raw and has amessage that we all need to hear if we want a better life and hack our current status quo.

      <title>Getting through the mud and the muck</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I met Morgan Beard very recently through Fernando Parnes, founder of BestBeing and sponsor of this podcast. Morgan I chatted, we spoke together on a wellness panel and I was immediately impressed and engaged by this 30 years old dynamo. Listening to her wisdom, you would certainly not expect someone so young in years.</p><p>As you listen to Morgan's maturity, it's hard to imagine she has been through so much torment, torture, suffering, depression and suicidal thoughts as she has. She gets raw and vulnerable as she tells the story of how she plummeted into such a dark place. You will be inspired beyond belief as she tells how show dragged herself out of, as she describes it, the mud and the muck, to the place of abundance, joy, success and gratitude she finds herself today.</p><p>If you are a parent, you really need to listen to this podcast. If you are someone suffering, or know someone suffering, from depression or dark thoughts you need to listen to this podcast. If you want to hear Morgan singing, you need to listen to this podcast. If you are someone wanting to live your best life, you definitely need to listen to this podcast. What I'm saying is... this is a podcast you do not want to miss.</p><p>Morgan can be contacted through <a href="https://morganbeard.coach/" target="_blank">www.morganbeard.coach</a></p><p>Her instagram account is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mo_beazy/" target="_blank">mo_beazy</a></p><p>I want to thank  the team at BestBeing for sponsoring this podcast. they can be found at <a href="https://www.bestbeing.com/" target="_blank">www.bestbeing.com</a> .</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I met Morgan Beard very recently through Fernando Parnes, founder of BestBeing and sponsor of this podcast. Morgan I chatted, we spoke together on a wellness panel and I was immediately impressed and engaged by this 30 years old dynamo. Listening to her wisdom, you would certainly not expect someone so young in years.</p><p>As you listen to Morgan's maturity, it's hard to imagine she has been through so much torment, torture, suffering, depression and suicidal thoughts as she has. She gets raw and vulnerable as she tells the story of how she plummeted into such a dark place. You will be inspired beyond belief as she tells how show dragged herself out of, as she describes it, the mud and the muck, to the place of abundance, joy, success and gratitude she finds herself today.</p><p>If you are a parent, you really need to listen to this podcast. If you are someone suffering, or know someone suffering, from depression or dark thoughts you need to listen to this podcast. If you want to hear Morgan singing, you need to listen to this podcast. If you are someone wanting to live your best life, you definitely need to listen to this podcast. What I'm saying is... this is a podcast you do not want to miss.</p><p>Morgan can be contacted through <a href="https://morganbeard.coach/" target="_blank">www.morganbeard.coach</a></p><p>Her instagram account is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mo_beazy/" target="_blank">mo_beazy</a></p><p>I want to thank  the team at BestBeing for sponsoring this podcast. they can be found at <a href="https://www.bestbeing.com/" target="_blank">www.bestbeing.com</a> .</p><p>My website is <a href="https://andrewjobling.com.au/" target="_blank">www.andrewjobling.com.au</a></p>
