If you knew how to live by a simplified process that could help minimise stress, anxiety and worry in your life and improve your happiness and emotional wellbeing, would you be committed to the journey? In this short episode I explore why you turn simple internal processes into oblique perceptions that trigger your emotions and thought processes of stress, anxiety, "I'm not good enough" and all of those unhelpful but common ways of being.

Have you ever stepped into an environment with other people and felt Insignificant, not good enough, unworthy, invaluable? Have you ever stopped to think about why you’re feeling that way around certain groups of people? This C-word could be the answer to your unhelpful, emotionally hijacked journey. COMPARISON! It’s proven that in a state of comparison you are stimulating more of your stress hormones and shunting other neural pathways and therefore only able to tap into a lower percentage of your best self… If your choices reflect your personality, will you choose to resemble courage, passion and pride, or will you choose to resemble Insignificance, not good enough, unworthiness, invaluable? In this short episode I break down the physiological reasons why your habit of comparing yourself to others can negatively impact your health, wellbeing and happiness.

What is an ego, really? How is it helping me and how is it hindering me? This is an area of human behaviour i’ve been intrigued about for a long time now and an area I vowed to learn more about this year. So, this episode is a chat with my good mate Amber Hawken to learn about the ego from her perspective because she’s a bit of a guru in this space. As a reminder, Amber Hawken has a big, bold and audacious heart and is the creator of Calm Mind Project - an initiative based on building awareness, emotional resilience and empowerment within individuals through mindfulness and conscious purpose. The program focuses on building a deep sense of self-awareness and flow in their everyday life, teaching universal principles, practical cognitive behaviour and emotional repatterning tools combined with spiritual philosophy through the attendance of retreats, online programs, her best-selling book  The Unfu*kwithable Life and even one on one work with Amber herself. A Diploma of Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a qualified Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, and a Deep State Re-Patterning Therapist are some of the professional qualifications and tools that Amber brings to her work around emotional, mental, and spiritual self-mastery. In this episode we also discuss the launch of Amber's new podcasts: The Amber Hawken podcast and Calm Mind Project podcast. These can be found on her websites and social media pages blow when they're released.  Follow Amber online: Websites: Amberhawken.com  Calmmindproject.com Instagrams: @calmmindproject @amberhawken Facebook: @calmmindproject

Curtis McGrath OAM is an Australian para-canoeist and Paralympic Gold Medallist who took up canoeing competitively after having both of his legs amputated as a result of a mine blast whilst serving in the Australian Army in Afghanistan. Curtis is one of the most humble humans i've crossed paths with and part of this conversation felt like I was watching a movie. He goes into a lot of detail about his job in the Defence Force, which is considered to be one of the most dangerous jobs in the army!!!  He doesn't hold back on some of the gory details of his accident either, so if you’ve got a weak stomach, what a great way to move through that feeling! This is an episode that should leave you feeling extremely grateful for what you have in life and feeling inspired to draw strength and courage from your adversities and challenges, not be held back by them! One of the things we chatted about offline that we didn’t cover in the episode is a kayak paddle he did from Sydney to Brisbane approximately 900 kilometers, completing the journey in three weeks. They paddled 40 - 60 km each day then pulled into a beach to camp and would then do it all again the next day. This was to raise money and awareness for a veterans charity called Mates4Mates, who are supporting wounded, injured or ill current and ex-serving Defence Force personnel and their families. This was a massive effort for an important and great cause, so a huge shout out to the legends at Mates4Mates. Curtis also discusses his desire for you to help him on his journey by getting behind the Paralympic movement.  You can follow everything from the Paralympics Australia team of legends at paralympic.org.au  and @AUSParalympics on social media.

This episode is about why we need to and how we can go beyond the surface level conversations and talk about "the shit that matters" - as Mike terms it. Whilst there’s a lot of reference to men, there’s an abundance of value for you wonderful women listening as I believe it’ll help give you a better understanding of us male creatures and also give you some connection to this man Mike, that could help you, or the man in your life.
