Your Life Of Impact with Brett Robbo

Shivani Gupta is a global speaker, author of 8 books and a mentor for working women. She’s an entrepreneur who runs 5 businesses, serves on several boards and is a mother of two kids, Om and Shanti.  Shivani is also what i’m going to term a passionista - She’s a globally recognised expert in Passion - and that’s the main topic of conversation in today’s episode.  Don’t worry, this isn’t a chat about us suggesting you go out and simply find your passion.  Shivani has a great model to help you understand your 7 areas of passion and how you can prioritise them to minimise guilt and shame and suffering in your life by creating clarity and actually start achieving your goals by aligning them with YOUR true passions.  A blurb about Shivani from her website: I live by some simple rules: Be authentic. Love fiercely. People that hurt you are your teachers – forgive and let go. Live passionately. Live as if it was your last." This is a brilliant episode that I took a lot of value form because it’s helped me understand human behaviour from a different perspective and create clarity on  passions and the alignment with values, goals and beliefs. Be sure to stay tuned until the end of this chat to hear the link between Shivani’s top core passions and some of her greatest adversities!

Is regret an emotional condition that’s hindering you, holding you back and triggering resentment, guilt or remorse? Or have you done the work and able to see your regrets as great life lessons?! In this short episode I break down an emotional equation for regret: Regret = Disappointment + Responsibility  Referenced from the book “Emotional Equations - Simple Formulas To Help Your Life Work Better” by Chip Conley.  Regret comes in all shapes and sizes and raises the emotional stakes of decisions. It doesn’t just result from the actions we take; it also comes from those actions we wish we had taken!  Let's see how regret plays out in your life?

This episode is me being interviewed by Christina Canters, who is a keynote speaker, communication skills specialist, and host of the top-ranked business communication podcast called ‘Stand Out Get Noticed’.  The philosophy behind the podcast is that it shares practical tips and inspiration to help you communicate effectively and build unshakable confidence. Here’s how Christina describes herself on her website: "I am obsessed with helping people communicate effectively. In my experience, I have found that many high performing professionals are technically good at what they do – but they lack the social, emotional and communication skills required to accelerate their careers and fulfil their potential.  "I am on a mission to help you close this gap – and achieve the recognition and success you deserve. Whether you want to become a more powerful public speaker, have more influence within your organisation, gain more confidence in your leadership capabilities, build your professional presence or take your career to the next level, our resources and programs are designed to get you there". In this episode we discuss: - What High Performance actually is and HOW to develop a High Performance Mindset. - Tools and strategies to optimise your life. - Morning routines. - Healthy priming habits. - And more Follow Christina online: - Website: www.thecmethod.com - Facebook: @christinacanters

There's power AND potency in expectations! In this short episode I vulnerably discuss how my expectations fuelled frustration and even fear within me recently and how i've struggled with this since my beautiful son Oliver was born!  I also unpack the blessings and curses of expectations from a few different perspectives: One from Kurt Fearnley and his belief about us not having high enough expectations of ourselves. One from Tony Robbins and his famous quote to “Trade your expectations for appreciation and your whole world changes in an instant!” References from one of my favourite recent book discoveries "Emotional Equations: Simple Formulas To Help Your Life Work Better"   Are your expectations helping you or hindering you? Do they fuel you or deflate you?  What tools will you use to navigate your emotional agility, your mindset, your actions and your quality of life?!

Allan Sparkes is the Deputy Commissioner of the Mental Health Commission of NSW and a former police officer who served on the front line for 20 years, where he was involved in the horrific aftermath of the Hilton bombing, arrested some of Australia's most notorious criminals and faced the tragedy of murdered colleagues. Allan one of Australia's most highly decorated citizens. He is one of only five Australians in the past 43 years to be awarded Australia's highest bravery decoration and highest civil award, the Cross of Valour, awarded for ‘acts of the most conspicuous courage in circumstances of extreme peril'! And Allan talks us through this experience in this episode.   In January 2017, Allan was named in the Australia Day Honours List and was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for service to mental health support organisations and the community. In August 2016, Allan was awarded Australia's fourth highest bravery decoration, the Commendation for Brave Conduct - once again, Allan talks us through this conduct in this episode.  In December 2012, Allan was one of only 10 Australians to be presented the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal. He is also the recipient of other significant awards for bravery, valour and service including the Royal Humane Society Galleghan Award and the New South Wales Police Commissioner's Valour Award.  So, it’s safe to say that Allan knows a thing or two about bravery and mental health. And that’s what this episode is all about. His story is a magnificent example of turning fear into courage and failure into success. He’s also the author of 'The Cost of Bravery' which covers a lot more of his epic journey and I highly recommend you grab a copy here: www.allansparkes.com In this episode we discuss: - Bravery - what is it and are we all wired to be brave?! - Allan’s captivating experiences of bravery that saved people's lives.  - The Change Room Program and why he’s so passionate about his impact there. - What it was like being a police officer in Kings Cross and arresting some of Australia's most notorious criminals.  - His experiences in the darkest moments of his life - His relationship with his wife in those challenging year's - What worked for Allan to revitalise his mental health - Why a proactive approach to Mental Health is so important!  - His 4 foundation stones that we should all be nourishing and why - How Allan reversed type 2 diabetes! - The Mental Health Continuum model and how it can help you - And so much more around the empowering aspects of mental health, including the power of kindness. We also discuss gut health and the gut-brain connection related to mental wellness and mental health.

The health and wellbeing space can be so noisy and confusing!  What does "healthy" actually mean?! I've certainly failed this area in periods of my life and gambled with stupid, unhealthy choices consistently. I've essentially "waited for my health tsunami to hit". Thankfully it didn't and I've been able to learn and implement healthy lifestyle habits and realign my human experience.  Reality is, our health is with us everyday, for the rest of our lives and the more we respect it and invest into it wisely, the better the dividends will be!  I believe being healthy is not about being "perfect". Being healthy is about improving the QUALITY of your life with small steps at a time and enjoying life more! Enjoy your hobbies more, your family time, your holidays - even your job more!!! I'm not claiming to be a "health expert" and I never pretend to have all the answers. However, i'm truly passionate about helping people on their health and wellbeing journey and cutting through some of the confusion out there.  My health is my number one core value - but it hasn't always been that way!  I've fallen off the rails for long periods of my life and gambled with stupid, unhealthy choices consistently. I've essentially "waited for my health tsunami to hit". Thankfully it didn't and I've been able to learn and implement healthy lifestyle habits and realign my human experience.  In this episode I discuss some of my experiences and my beliefs around a couple of areas of health, some of the ways i've "failed" and why my beliefs and choices have shifted over the years.  I don't believe being healthy is being "strict" and perfect with your choices 100% of the time. But, some people do, and that's ok. I believe in equipping yourself with the greatest amount of knowledge and awareness so you can make conscious choices consistently and enjoy a greater quality of life!   Resources discussed in this episode: Article on flawed health star food rating system:  https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/may/30/unhealthy-products-are-gaming-flawed-health-star-food-rating-study-finds Please let me know what you think of this episode and if you'd like to hear more on the topic of health.
