Back To The PresentWired For Emotion & Growth | w/Sue LangleyWhy do our brains cling to some emotions more than others? How do our neurons wire together, shaping our habits, choices, and emotional responses? In this episode, we dive into the science of positive and proactive psychology, exploring how our emotions serve as data, why anger arises when we feel blocked, and how stronger emotions enhance memories—for better or worse.We’ll discuss the power of emotional literacy, the impact of physiology on decision-making, and why simple habits like eating, sleeping, and moving are crucial for self-regulation. Plus, we’ll uncover how high perfor...2025-03-111h 32

Back To The PresentThe Mindful Body | w/Ellen LangerWelcome to a thought-provoking journey where confidence meets uncertainty. This podcast explores the art of showing up, embracing the moment, and releasing negativity. Through the lens of science and mindfulness, we challenge absolute truths taught by schools and parents, recognising that everything begins with a decision. Dive into the polarity of values, the beauty of imperfection, and the power of owning your experiences. Learn to take your work seriously—without taking yourself too seriously—and discover that outcomes and even emotions are choices. 2025-01-0653 min

Back To The PresentMastering the Mind: Thoughts, Beliefs & the Power of Observation | w/Derek SiversOur thinking mind is one hell of a ride. As human beings who have an ever evolving consciousness, the human mind can either be our greatest alley or our own worst enemy. We all pretty much know this to be true and yet we still find ourselves falling down the trap door from time to time. How we think literally dictates our emotions & actions, and what we think predominately manifests from what we believe. For better or worse, this seems to be how we operate and as hard as a pill it is to...2024-11-261h 49

Back To The PresentThrive Beyond: Wholistic Health & Energetic Alignment | w/Allison PelotWholistic Health is an ongoing, ever evolving learning and practice of all things both physically and energetically. It’s about thriving, not just surviving. It requires effort in the form of time & energy, and I believe to truly thrive we must take all aspects of life into consideration. In a time like never before, where there are endless opportunities to live unhealthily, there is also an abundance of good information for people to live optimally. That doesn’t mean we don’t get sick, have pain, entertain negative thoughts or succumb to everyday stresses. What i...2024-11-131h 53

Back To The PresentBecoming Who You Are Meant To Be | w/Daniel BrownSeeds are buried in the dark, then they require water, sunlight and nature to grow into the beautiful being they were meant to be. Sometimes our own human experience follows a similar process. The strong winds, droughts and flooding are all apart of the process, none of which can be anything other than what they are for the growth to naturally happen. Our lives seem to be naturally effected by what’s going on around us, and that makes us human, though it’s the cells deep down inside us th...2024-10-241h 29

Back To The PresentFrom Breakdown to Breakthrough: Navigating Stress, Change, and Growth with Breathwork | w/Chris RapaportSometimes it’s a feather, sometimes it’s a brick and sometimes it’s a truck. Once way or another this analogy plays out in different shapes throughout the years. A lot of life is about limiting the trucks, dodging the bricks and getting used to the touch of a feature. It’s harder to hear a truck on a busy motorway and it’s not easy dodging a brick if you can’t see it coming, though the gentle touch of a feather is only possible when we’re still enough to feel its sof...2024-10-081h 34

Back To The PresentMindfulness, Attention and Attitude | w/Professor Craig HassedMindfulness. Possibly the most meaningful and perhaps misunderstood word on the market. To me it’s a matter of being aware in each moment of the thing that we’re doing and/or thinking. Not wanting “it” to be any different to what it already is, just allowing it to be. For the longest time I wrongly assumed mindfulness was only available in meditation or alike, and that was cool too, though my life really started to flourish when I realised and began treating mindfulness as a way of being, a...2024-09-221h 04

Back To The PresentCognitive Support, Memory & Brain Health | w/Dr Kailas RobertsWhat if you could remember everything? Would you really want to? I think there's a reason why we can't (excluding those with photographic memories). Who’s to argue with the evolution of the human species and pretend they could've done better. Cognitive function is almost something we take for granted. You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone. Our mind is our greatest ally. Speaking for myself, it only becomes a problem when we try to control it and get caught amongst the rampant no...2024-09-041h 10

Back To The PresentFacing Fears, Paranormal Stigma & Energetic Attachments | w/Kaedrich OlsenWhy are humans innately afraid of the unknown? Sure, there’s some biological reasons that kept us alive thousands of years ago, and maybe the same biology just hasn’t caught up with our current environment. But, what if there was a little more to it than that? What if “the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek” (Joseph Campbell). What if our imagination was our only limitation and all possibilities existed? Can sound a little out there or extreme to some, though I personally entertain the idea t...2024-08-211h 07

Back To The PresentThe Shortness of Life & The Importance of Character | w/Brigid DelaneyLife is short. Not many other combinations of words hold as much depth, wisdom and inspiration. We get 1 shot at this opportunity in this body we luckily inhabit. A huge part of that life is about our character and how we treat others. As social beings once closely surrounded by our friends and family in a tribal environment, so much of that commune has been lost and it now takes an active effort to maintain closeness & connection. In a world full of distraction and things out of...2024-08-131h 14

Back To The PresentAncient Stoicism in a Modern World | w/Matthew SharpePhilosophy is a way of life. I also believe that even those who don’t see themselves as philosopher’s are still living a philosophical life. We all seem to be figuring it out as we go. Some in a little more formal manner than others, though it feels like we all have that part of ourselves somewhere inside. Matt is a philosopher in the true sense of the word, as teacher & student and an avid practitioner of stoicism, his blend of knowledge and wisdom is profound & exciting. Sto...2024-07-301h 30

Back To The PresentFrom Squishy Brain Matter To Higher Consciousness | w/Lynne MalcomScience and spirit are both such beautiful things. Unfortunately it often feels like there’s a gap between the two, though I truly believe when real science and a better understanding of spirit are thread together, us humans create the best internal and external environments for prosperous and harmonious living. We live among a time where there is sooo much information, and that can mean a lot of it is rubbish, BUT there’s also not been a time in recorded history where sooooo much valuable information is available at our fingertips and for our d...2024-07-181h 31

Back To The PresentAction Opens Doors | w/Jane HolmanThe biggest battle we have going on is within ourselves. I’m confident most of us have heard this before, though I wonder how many of us have begun to take small daily steps toward a more peaceful way of being. I believe we’re often hearing a part of ourselves that knows what we should/want to be doing and yet we can limit ourselves with inaction. Jane reminded me that “action opens doors”. We can listen to the voices in our heads and/or those of others, but at the end of the day, action is the only way we ca...2024-07-031h 19

Back To The PresentWhat May I Give | w/Anja SteensigHow many of us are really listening to the subtle messages we receive from our internal or external world? I sure know I’m guilty of ignorance & avoidance. The thing is that what we resist, persists (Carl Jung), and this persistence often returns in different shapes and sizes throughout life until we’re ready to embrace it and do something. Anja is someone who has developed a deep level of embracement and is an admirable example of someone willing to surrender and have a deep conversation with life. Super...2024-06-231h 17

Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns PodcastWhat we're watching at Browns minicamp and looking back at David Njoku's softball gameThe Browns are all back together this week for their three-day mandatory minicamp, featuring three practices open to the media. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Monday's Orange and Brown Talk podcast by looking ahead to minicamp and what they're watching.What will Deshaun Watson be able to do? How will all the receivers line up? What about the defensive line with some of the new additions on the interior?Then they look back on their experience at David Njoku's celebrity softball game, which featured a collision between Watson and tight end...2024-06-1029 min

Back To The PresentHypnotherapy, Big Emotions & Bullying | w/Lyn JenkinsUnderstanding why we do the things we do ultimately starts with understanding who we are. Both tasks can take a lifetime (or more) and it’s not always an easy endeavour as an adult or child, though it’s vital to live a joyful and fulfilling life. Lyn Jenkins is a clinical child psychologist and children’s author who is all too familiar with these questions and through her work she guides our little people into being who they really are. Early intervention, supportive parenting, emotional regulation and par...2024-06-081h 22

Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns PodcastCan Myles Garrett reach an even higher level for the Browns?We spent our Wednesday Orange and Brown Talk podcast focusing on extensions for Browns GM Andrew Berry and head coach Kevin Stefanski as well as what running back Nick Chubb had to say.Thursday, we're cleaning up some of what we left behind on Wednesday's podcast from our final day at OTAs. Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Thursday's podcast by discussing if Myles Garrett has another level and if new defensive line coach Jacques Cesaire can coax it out of him in 2024. Are there other pass rushers Cesaire can help?2024-06-0728 min

Back To The PresentEnergy Work, Shifting Blocks & Psychotherapy | w/Andrew EdmondsThe process of self discovery and improvement is a long one. It never really ends. It’s also not a path for everyone. It’s my opinion that those of us courageous enough to step into the unknown and retain a beginners mindset, are those worth listening to. Andrew certainly has both of these characteristics and much more. His knowledge and passion in psychotherapy, plant medicine, reiki, counselling and energy work offer a humble & grounded approach to living his life and serving that of others. Pl...2024-05-211h 25

Back To The PresentEros, Unique Self & A New Story of Value | w/Marc GafniI don’t know about you, but being a human is pretty cool. All of us almost always take it for granted. It’s so easy getting caught in what’s going on in our our lives that we forget about the bigger picture. Marc paints this picture. We are at a bit of a crossroad it seems on this planet right now. I don’t believe anyone really knows which way things will go, though I’m 101% confident us humans need to change the way we do things if we want our descendants to enjoy t...2024-05-051h 22

Back To The PresentKindness, The Universal Rays & Embracing Change | w/Susie Cameron We all have a North Star. A guiding light. For some of us it is a little clearer than others and for some it’s harder to see. Regardless, I believe it helps shine us in the right direction in times of forgetfulness. Kindness is that North Star for Susie Cameron. It is infectious & inspirational to myself and many others. In a world where all possibilities are endless, there can never be too much kindness, for both ourselves and all others. Susie and I spoke about acceptance, embracing change, resi...2024-04-291h 09

Back To The PresentMindful Parenting | w/Chelsea BodieAnyone lucky enough to be a parent knows damn well it’s the hardest and most rewarding thing on the planet. And if you’re a mother the ride is multiplied in many different directions. We weren’t taught how to do parenting at school, we mimic what we can from our own parents and make up the rest. Fortunately these days, we all have access to the wide world web and so people like Chelsea are able to share their knowledge to those of us in need and interes...2024-04-1459 min

Back To The PresentPressure to Prevent Coasting | w/Lachlan RowstonWe all seem to have a natural tendency for the path of least resistance, and at the same time most of us realise resistance is required for growth, both physically and mentally. It is our relationship to this resistance that I find beyond interesting and a huge difference between those doing what they love to do and those who are not. Lachy is apart of the former. His experience in the health, fitness and business industry is highly regarded, and yet his desire to do more and keep growing & learning never seems to fade.2024-04-021h 18

Back To The PresentThe Staircase of Life | w/Arne RubinsteinWe’ve all got stuff. Stuff is apart of life. I think we often find ourselves in a trap thinking we are the only ones going through tough times, but that simply is just not true. If we can practice this awareness we can realise just how much we’re all in this together. How we face and overcome our stuff is like a staircase, each step is different, some feel harder than others but each an opportunity to keep moving onto our next level. Arne has been teaching about...2024-03-2438 min

Back To The PresentListening To The Whispers | w/Jo RushtonFor most of my life I’ve tried to control everything with my mind. Those of you who know me, know it is very strong and I am forever grateful for that. However, trying to control our reality with our mind is like trying to control the waves of an ocean. Pointless, futile and destine for trouble. Enter Jo several years back, who has taught me soooooo much about life that these jumbled up letters into words will never ever do it justice (and this podcast is just the she...2024-03-172h 11

Back To The PresentThe Game of Life | w/Tom FosterHolistic chiropractic approach @ 0:00 Tom explains his holistic approach to chiropractic treatment, assessing the whole person including their emotional state, lifestyle and underlying issues influencing their physical condition. He believes this leads to better outcomes than just focusing on the physical manipulation alone. Importance of play for wellbeing @ 23:43 Tom discusses how play is essential for wellbeing but often neglected as adults. Regular fun activities help manage stress, boost mental clarity and energy levels. Both speakers agree society over-emphasizes work at the expense of play.

Back To The PresentWorking Out The Human Experience | w/Allura HalliwellThe power of an illusion is in the questioning of the things we think we know, while accepting there’s always more going on than what’s on the surface. This can be daunting and liberating all at once. Those of us willing to explore this unknown, begin to enjoy peeling back our onion layers (though just like peeling back an actual onion, there’s occasional wet eyes). Through her own pain & experience, Allura really knows how to discuss and express deep work, all while making it fun and absorba...2024-02-041h 09

Orange and Brown Talk: Cleveland Browns PodcastBrowns shake up their coaching staff: What's next for the offense?The Browns made waves on Wednesday when they moved on from offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt, running backs coach Stump Mitchell and tight ends coach T.C. McCartney. They are now in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator and more as Deshaun Watson prepares to return to the field.Mary Kay Cabot, Ashley Bastock and Dan Labbe start Thursday’s Orange and Brown Talk Podcast by looking at the reasons the Browns shook up thier offensive staff and where they go from here. What are they looking for in a new offensive coordinator.How mu...2024-01-1844 min

Back To The PresentMore Important Than Everything, But Not Anything | w/Brett HallOnly by slowing down can we smell the roses. I obviously mean this practically, but metaphorically too because I'm convinced that rushing through life is a sure-fire way to miss the things that really matter, and I know for me that rushing is related to 'doing', and too much 'doing' equals less 'being', and less 'being' amounts to things like unhappiness and illusion. Brett is to me a living example of someone who really gets this, and so, his words, point of view and thoughts hold true value in my opinion. A...2024-01-141h 21

Back To The PresentIt's Always a Good Time To Be Present | w/Sean BastockPresence is a choice. It requires mindful awareness and consistent practice. I’m not sure there’s much more to it than that, and yet I’m confident there’s nothing more important. Though Sean and I are bound by blood, share thousands of similar interests and remain best mates, it’s recent youth work that we’ve been doing that has really started bringing our unique threads together. Sean’s new business is thriving and I’m honoured to be apart of it. I’m a firm believer that we’re all conn...2024-01-081h 51

Back To The PresentBalancing Power & Humility | w/Greg SchmausUnderstanding archetypes helps uncover root causes of illness and disempowerment. Greg uses the 7 core healing archetypes to guide his healing practices, but this concept popularised by Carl Young is in everything we do, so a basic level of knowledge and understanding on the matter goes a long way. The beautiful part about it, like everything else, is through awareness of our current archetypical roles, we can work with them and use them to get us away from where we want to be, to the place we want to go. W...2023-12-031h 23

Back To The PresentMindful Movement | w/Nick LaveryNick is a former olympic level rower who not only knows how far the human body can go, but how important it is to actual listen to that same body. Too often we get caught in the noise between the ears that we forget that our bodies are always trying to tell us something. Having this recognition allows us to develop a body-first approach whereby we begin to listen to the signals and messages always there to help and guide us. This perspective is not only a good way to...2023-11-271h 10

Chats with Choccy#008 Mitchell Bastock | Life, growth and awarenessHad the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Mitch to talk about our development through studying 'The Masters Way' with IN’EASA MABU ISHTAR and Jo Rushton and how that course has impacted our lives over the past 3 years. From being more aware of our emotions and more compassionate to the ourself therefore more loving to the world. We dove into Mitch's work as a mindset Coach for children in sport as well as his learning from his podcast back to the present.Thank you Mitch! Was awesome to chat my brother!2023-11-1956 min

Back To The PresentConnection With The Natural World | w/Kate RydgeKate is the co-founder of Nature Australia Philosophy and has been running deep nature connection programs for over 20 years. Developing a connection with the natural world is something a lot of us have lost, but this direct contact is deeply ingrained within us, so when we begin to re-active this force we can bring sustainability and enjoyment to our lives. On top of this, we also discussed: 🌀 Kate’s journey & teaching work 🌀 Right relationship with the natural world 🌀 The Sit Spot Challenge 🌀 The Wild Vi...2023-11-191h 01

Back To The PresentWater Is Life | w/Isabel FriendLife needs Water. There are not many other elements we can’t live without, but not all water is equal. The quality of what we put into our bodies is directly proportional to our quality of living and water is on the top of that list. Isabel has devoted countless hours into why this simple wonderful liquid is so important to human health and all living beings. We mixed practical with esoteric, some of which included: 🌀 Lifestyle factors for good hydration 🌀 How...2023-11-131h 05

Back To The PresentThe Only Truth We Have | w/Sam RobertsonA rebalancing of our physical mind and spiritual mind is always ticking along in the background. It can often be noisy and confronting, though the harmony between them is something worth dancing with because it is our opportunity as a whole being. Nature plays a hugely importantly role in this composition because we are apart of it and it apart of us. Sam has been facilitating nature connection programs for over 20 years and his breath & depth on such topics & life wisdom is inspiring. ...2023-11-061h 40

Back To The PresentThe Human-Canine Relationship | w/Sasha ArmstrongI think our relationship to our canine friends often gets overlooked. We seek love from them, not always thinking about how they feel and who we are to them. Sasha has been connected with dogs on a deep level for a long time and emphasises the importance of an embodied alpha leadership role as a foundation for canine companions. Like lots of things, dogs can teach us about life & ourselves, and all we really need to do is be open, tune in & listen. Watching them for a few minutes i...2023-10-301h 14

Back To The PresentLoving & Lasting Relationships | w/Jacqui GabbRelationships require work. They offer us such enjoyment, but like everything worthwhile, they require effort. I don't believe that 'work' has to be like pulling teeth and I think like most things it comes down to education on the matter and a willing choice to want to thrive together. Through recognition and understanding, we can communicate effectively on just about any matter. Jacqui’s extensive work over her career has shown that amongst all the fanciness, opinions and options available, it’s the small unique, mundane things that we...2023-10-241h 13

Back To The PresentBe Where Your Feet Are w/Ed PadaleckiBe where your feet are. In every moment, sporting life and everything outside of it, how valuable this lesson is. Great people, players and coaches all know that when we live out those 5 words, magic happens. Presence is what seems to set some of us apart from others and it’s important to remember that very very few people are present all the time, but it’s this awareness in games, matches, practice, training etc. that sets us up for the success we seek. Once...2023-10-111h 14

Back To The PresentEmbracing Empowerment w/Dr FriedemannEmpowerment is within us all, always willing & able, waiting patiently for us to tap into. The problem often lies with our lack of awareness and/or search for empowerment outside ourselves. Beginning to understand and embrace that power within us offers infinite potential. Dr Friedemann is an empowerment coach and although there’s levels to that understanding, we both wholeheartedly agree is starts with understanding ourselves (a beautiful lesson I feel most of us are learning). We discussed a lot o...2023-09-241h 15

Back To The PresentTurning Inward w/White EagleDoes birth or death come first? Makes conceptual sense that we need to be born to die, but if everything was only always born, how would the circle of life continue? I don’t profess to know the answer, though it’s hard to overlook the idea that death is synonymous with passing and passing is synonymous with process. Either way, death isn’t always physical and neither is birth, things come and go in the never ending, always changing lives we live and the energy within & around us. White Eagle has been playing this intricate game of life long & deep enou...2023-09-171h 52

Back To The PresentA Warrior State Of Mind w/Brett BaileyAnxiety is one hell of a beast. A beast I once never knew existed, and then when I found it/it found me, my initial thinking was that it needed to be tamed, only to begin to understand that it is a messenger from the deeper parts of us that we have continued to ignore. Much like other thoughts, feelings & emotions, anxiety is usually trying to tell us something and/or a lapse in the now moment. Brett, like us all, has faced his own challenges and through these ex...2023-09-1048 min

Back To The PresentAre You Really Fine? W/Kyle StubbsIt is rarely the experience itself that causes us pain, but usually the story we’ve constructed about the series of events. When we’re able to distinguish that there is a difference, we’re able to acknowledge what is true versus what we’re just telling ourselves (illusion). Then the work/fun begins, we get to re-shape the story into whatever we choose. Not always easy, but damn powerful. Kyle has over 10 years experience as a first responder and has learned the ways of perspec...2023-09-031h 28

Back To The PresentFrom Head To Heart w/Harrison MeagherWe are all on our own spiritual journey, whether we call it that or not, all pathes have purpose and I beleive they look a lot more similiar than most of us realise. It's easy to forget who we are when we're so caught in the hustle and grind of daily living, not to mention the near-constant comotion between our ears. When we start embracing all of this (and therefore all of us), therein lies the beauty and power available to us at any given moment regardless of all the brouhaha going on. ...2023-08-281h 16

Back To The PresentPowerful Parenting w/Abigail WaldParenting isn’t easy, but it certainly is one of the most joyful things in life. The joy comes easy when the lack of ease isn’t so forceful. When we let every decision and action pass through the filter of love first. The children and experiences who challenge us the most offer us the greatest gifts when we’re ready to start unwrapping (acknowledging & embracing) their soul shaping for what it is. Abigail helps parents deeply understand their kids AND themselves, because as we know...2023-08-201h 27

Back To The PresentTending to The Garden of Life w/Anat PeriThe garden we call life is exactly what we make it. The desire to weed the garden isn’t always strong, but we probably all agree it’s easier to manage with regular maintenance instead of letting it get out of control. The outcome of the seeds we plant are a redirect reflection of our intention combined with the health of the soil, the big yellow ball in the sky and earths greatest gift called water. Anat gives people tools to tend to the garde...2023-08-111h 16

Back To The PresentConnection Begets Connection w/Jake LaubCommunity living has changed a lot in the last few hundred years. We can argue whether it’s for the better or worse, and I believe there’s good reasons on both sides of the fence. One thing for near certainty is that we’ve lost the connection we once had. As technology advances I’m an avid believer in remembering the importance of the connection we are losing with the land, others and ourselves. Jake is the process of build...2023-07-311h 16

Back To The PresentTurn Down The Noise If You Want To Listen w/Megan HenryIt’s all happening as it should be. I couldn’t agree with these words anymore than I do, even on the days and in the moments I’m challenged & almost forget. That being said, the power is always still in our hands. As much as we sometimes don’t want to admit it, our reality is a result of our choices. Megan’s years of athletic experience drove her to reach the peaks of multiple mountains, and those moments forged her savage mindset. The work is never done and the practice n...2023-07-161h 29

Back To The PresentWhat You Resist, Persists w/Cate ZoltanEnergy flows where attention goes. When we think of our overthinking, we very likely continue overthinking. That's where meditation can become equally as rewarding as it is challenging. Cate co-founded the Undo app with the intention of offering an inside out approach, which shifts the over-thinking struggle toward a body first focus. Also discussed in this weeks epsisode: 🌀 Honesty in relationships 🌀 The effects of Natrual Meditation 🌀 Resolution & healing through discomforting emotions 🌀 The impact on connection through technology 2023-07-041h 14

Back To The PresentBe You Now w/Jason Pickard‘What if’ everything had a purpose? And what if we lived our lives with this thought more present than the alternative? My guess is some of us do, and some of us do some of the time. I certainly know how easy and breezy my life feels when I’m remembering those 2 little words. This weeks guest Jason Pickard is one of those that do, and it’s pretty evident in his actions, which is why I pay close attention to his words. On top of ou...2023-06-251h 25

Back To The PresentNavigating and Transforming Life w/Jason Olivea“Listen to the compass of your heart. All you need lies within you.” Mary Anne Radmacher I believe Enneagram's and the like can help show us the road we're on, and I firmly believe a holistic approach to this personality assessment provides a more clear roadmap on our personal journey of discovering. It's important to bring awareness to our core beliefs, biases, patterns and emotion suppression, and then the next chapter is what we want to do with that awareness. Jason's Enneagram model does just...2023-06-051h 28

Back To The PresentQuiet Mind, Soma Body w/Rachel GrahamThe Human Design system measures your specific essence and offers ways to live in accordance with that. It's a logical system that brings together principles of The I Ching, astrology, Kabbalah, Hindu-Brahmin chakra system, and quantum physics. There are many different self-discovery & improvement systems available, and I believe all play their unique roll, with some people resonating with certain styles for certain reasons. I personally love this tool because it is helps identify the ways in which we function differently and in turn how we...2023-05-291h 21

Back To The PresentWhat Does Your Truth Mean To You? w/Sara GustafsonValues and principles can influence one’s perception of truth. Our principles/guidelines are likely conditioned to society and therefore shiftable, our values are not, and so they are important to understand and be aware of. Through exploration into our values we can begin to uncover our truths. How scary & exciting that wandering is. Sara’s experience has her very well versed in this area and many others, making for a really fun and in depth conversation. Amongst the ocean...2023-05-221h 31

Back To The PresentSelf-discovery Through Recovery w/Matt GardinerAddiction is a hell of a beast, and we all have our own addictions; causes run deep and stem wide. So sobriety is a feat worth acknowledging because it is NOT easy. Matt peeled back the layers in his own journey to sobriety and now he shares his humility & vulnerabilty to help others naviagte their similar experiences.

The thoughts in our head and the words we speak have a huge influence both internally and externally, to ourselves and the people around us. Mark England is a master teacher in re-shaping these stories so that we can begin to use them to our benefit. When we begin to take responsibility for our story and learn some of the techniques Mark shares, we begin to create a different perspective, one that we wa...2023-05-031h 39

Back To The PresentBeing Unimportant and Valuable w/Mike BledsoeIndividual sovereignty is something I only heard for the first time a few years ago, and I’ve struggled with the concept a little since then. But Mike put it simply; no one person is more important than another. Let that sink in for a minute. Imagine a world where everyone was equal. Mike has been around the health and wellness block a few times and he has forged enough of his own trails to know a thing or two. Yet he stills remains curious, open and embracing toward whe...2023-04-261h 12

Back To The PresentIf You Want To Make The World a Better Place, Do It In Everything You DoSimple routines & habits go a long way in a noisy complex world. There is soooooo much information available to us nowadays and I’ll be the first to admit it’s an amazingly beautiful time to be alive because of it. However, I’m not convinced our monkey-brains have the RAM capacity to process everything our senses are absorbing. Adam’s Calendar Method and Essential Task Cards are some useful tools to help us prioritise winning moments (not just days) and begin making longterm lifestyle changes in short & approachable ways. ...2023-04-191h 33

Back To The PresentChop Wood, Carry Water w/Aleks RybchinskiyKnow thy self. I couldn’t help but have this in the back of my mind during the podcast with Aleks. I think that’s because I’m only truly beginning to know myself and believe he has done the explorative work to do so. Until we know ourselves from the inside, we’re likely going to believe we’re mostly what we see and perceive on the outside and buy into the stories and beliefs we’ve developed. They are all there for a purpose and to have some fun with...2023-04-121h 35

Wine and Gold Talk PodcastDonovan Mitchell peaking at the right time + Cavs' rotation questions heading in to the postseasonThe Cavs have learned some valuable lessons over the last week -- at least, that's the hope after their tough March 31st loss to the New York Knicks, their upcoming first-round playoff opponent, and having to give their all in a close win over the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.Chris Fedor and Ashley Bastock discuss what lessons they think will be valuable as the Cavs prepare for their final regular season game on Sunday against Charlotte and as Cleveland gets ready for its first-round playoff series against New York.And then there's Donovan Mitchell's production...2023-04-0734 min

Back To The PresentRelease Yourself From The Thoughts Of Yesterday And Tomorrow w/Todd KiddIt’s a long way to the top of any field and those of us looking up the mountain often assume the view is always a lot better. There’s probably more to see, but there’s often a fair amount more sacrifice and effort to get there. No doubt the view is enjoyable, though I think it’s important to remember it shouldn’t be the only thing we focus on, the view at any point can be equally as enjoyable as long as we’re willing to stop and take it in. 2023-04-051h 10

Back To The PresentLearn To Fail So You Don’t Fail To Learn w/Dr Matt ShiverThe present moment for Matt is “Choice”. Our free will, the options we have and the ability to go in different directions. I truly believe everything is a choice, our choice, not always what we want to hear, though the after effects of this belief are profound because that means everything is within our control. The caveat to my own belief about that is I also believe control prevents surrender and surrender is a choice 🤪 Matt is very knowledgeable and his knowledge has been developed through...2023-04-011h 23

Back To The PresentGetting To Know All Parts Of Ourselves w/Jack MayThere are many many Parts within us. Not all pretty, though all there for a reason and to be honoured. Pretending or avoiding Parts of ourselves is a surefire way to unhappiness in my experience. We can be as kind to those Parts of ourselves as the Parts we know and love. Jack’s work with groups and around Internal Family Systems is fascinating, and as well as diving deep into these topics, Jack was kind enough to use me as a guinea pig. ...2023-03-231h 42

Back To The PresentHeal The World By Healing The Individual w/Jake NortonChange is the only constant. Even when things seem like they’re going swimmingly, life’s comfortable and you’re enjoying yourself, there’s often a deeper plan at play and it’s not always noticeable, ready to be heard and/or what you want to hear. Jake rolls with the punches (metaphorically & literally) and happily confronts challenges; willing to befriend them & embrace each moment for what it is. In this episode Jake and I discuss: Letting go control of expectation Shinning light on our shadows Manifesting good thoughts The 4 Doctors Gratitude as the opposite o...2023-03-151h 31

Back To The PresentBefriend Your Fears, Face Them and Embrace Them (all while having FUN) w/Ben Walker“Fun is the point”. If only we could remember this phrase of Ben’s more often/all the time. You have to be present to have fun. Getting caught in the past or future is a wandering mind and I don’t think a wandering mind can be happy. Ben’s energy is fun, real and contagious. We must remind ourselves that life happens, fun is a choice, our fears can be our friends and there is beauty everywhere. Some extra fun with Ben included: His goal for his future self to become the...2023-03-081h 30

Back To The PresentBringing The Unconscious Into The Conscious w/Andrew HughesEveryone has pain. That means we all share pain in common. Our pain is unmistakably different, but this does mean we can take solace in knowing we are all going through something together, just a few degrees different in the shade of colour. Hughesy is well versed in this area with years of experience, including hours of compassion with myself. A light hearted conversation with plenty of nuggets I know you’ll enjoy digesting. A few nuggets we enjoyed together: Life isn’t happening to you, it’s happening for you C...2023-03-031h 20

Back To The PresentTruth Seeking and Truth Speaking w/Renske van den Braak“When we open the truth in ourselves, we are then willing and ready to see the truth in everyone else” Truth talk from Renske. I don’t know about you but sometimes the truth hurts. Or is that only when we’re not ready to embrace a part of ourselves? I feel that’s the case for me, because when I’m not scared, the truth feels like I’ve remembered something blissful from a distant past. Like I heard something I forgot and someone has reminded me of a beautiful memory. I often fear spe...2023-02-231h 41

Back To The PresentThe External World As a Canvas For Our Internal World w/Jator Pierre"The way we find ourselves is the way we lose ourselves" The power of what we say and how we say it seems invaluable to me. Too often our mouths opens and we’re reacting on auto pilot or saying something for the sake of it. What if we only spoke what we meant and truly meant what we said? Honest communication. And what if we were able to notice when we weren’t being honest with ourselves? Jator does this as good as the best of them and the honesty is obvious in the sounds of his words. He also...2023-02-151h 25

Back To The PresentThe Essence Within Us and The Voyage Of Self Discovery w/Emily SorensenEmily is profound at explaining spiritual aspects in easily digestible context. Together we delve into her pivotal moment away from suffering, the realisation that everything we want & desire is already within us, being in the body as a pose to thinking with the mind all the time, the power of attachment & the fact that nothing is permanent, making choices from an awakened state and showing up from our limitless self. Jam packed with light and insightful words of fun. Connect with Emily Sorensen Website | expansionwithemily.com Instagram | expansionwithemily Spotify | Spirit Sounds by Sati 2023-02-081h 38

Back To The PresentBouncing Back With a Purpose and Healing The Gut w/Dougie ElliotWe all go through tough times, I think we need them to build our fortitude and integrity. How we come out of the other side is the important part in how we progress with the rest of life There are thousands of inspirational quotes out there (and I love them all), though I believe real motivation comes from something deep inside us and I know we ALL have it. Dougie walked the tight rope and his lessons there have made him the passionate man he is today. His passion we discuss on the podcast is about the gut and relationship...2023-02-011h 07

Back To The PresentThe Beauty In Our Shadows and Learning To Fly As We Walk w/Tilly CoatesI’m not sure we ‘need’ chaos in our lives, though I’m pretty confident it serves a purpose. Challenging times, set backs, chaos and alike often approach us without warning (especially if we aren’t listening). Either way, these moments in life are always opportunities for self discovery, growth and expansion. A little reframing as to how we see these situations can give us a big perspective shift. In this weeks episode, Tilly and I discuss how she bounced back from adrenal fatigue during her elite athletic career, surrender & reflection, the wonder in hindsight, owning our choices, the power of group w...2023-01-251h 21

Back To The PresentHonouring Trauma, Moving Beyond The Edge and Loosening Our Grip w/Cameron AshleyWhat’s on the other side of ‘the edge’? No one really knows, BUT I do know the temptation to explore that other side is deep within us all. Usually scary and yet always what we need it to be (even if we can’t see it at the time), this seeking mentality is apart of us, why we humans are where we are in the grand scheme. My wise friend Cameron Ashley is aware of this edge and why it can be so daunting to move toward it. You probably won’t hear a man more grounded and humble. In this epi...2023-01-181h 14

Back To The PresentWalking Talking Love and Becoming Your Piece Of The Puzzle w/Sean BastockWalking Talking Love. A gracious term my brother Sean shared with me on our podcast together and something I believe we can all aspire toward. Sean does what he loves and loves 'being' it. Other than walking the talk, we also discussed how to move through fear, trusting ourselves, allowing (instead of forcing) things to happen, a potential future for coaches, becoming aware of our ego and dabbling in the dark side.
