#1929 Finding Your Purpose - Harps

Purpose. Do we have only one? Or maybe more? Does it change over time? Do we need to 'discover' our purpose under some mystical rock? Or perhaps it comes to us in a dream? Do we simply choose it, based on what matters to us? Like our values, beliefs and goals? Maybe it reveals itself to us with a subtle tap on the metaphoric shoulder? Or perhaps we have a significant experience or life event, and as a result, our purpose becomes clear? This episode is me (Harps), riffing on all of that.

#1928 Just What The Doctor Ordered - Dr. Dinesh Palipana

Hi Team, I’m under the PhD pump at the moment, but I’ll be back tomorrow with a brand new ep. Today we’re revisiting one of my favourite chats and favourite people Dr. Dinesh Palipana, who since this recording was named Queensland, Australian of the Year (2021). *Medical Doctor, Lawyer, Disability Advocate, Researcher, TED Speaker and Order of Australia recipient Dinesh Palipana does life from a wheelchair because half way through his medical training, a car accident left him a quadriplegic. He is a truly remarkable human with a truly remarkable story. For me, this conversation was a privilege and if there was an ounce of self-pity in me before this podcast, it’s definitely gone now. If you know someone who needs some inspiration, hope and maybe perspective, please share this with them. Enjoy. youtube.com/watch?v=9GxtQo1Xj-sSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1927 Better Than Yesterday - Harps

This is a simple little chat around the very broad objective - one that most of us have - of getting better. Whatever that means to you personally. It's something of a coaching session. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1926 D*ck Togs & Hand Warmers - Patrick Bonello

I honestly don't know what to tell you about this episode other than I had a lot of fun, there was some inappropriate R-rated content, Patrick has Raynaud's disease and is scared of driverless cars, I'm scared of paragliding, Tiff's a networking queen, and depending on your personality, you'll laugh a lot or turn it off. Enjoy. Or avoid.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1925 We Grow Old Because We Stop Playing - Harps

I think George Bernard Shaw was onto something when he declared "we don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." It's long been my opinion that many of us ‘get old before we need to' simply because we stop doing things which can help us maintain a level of physiological, psychological and cognitive function and performance 'younger' than our chronological age. In this episode, I share ten simple activities that require little or no skill, fitness, equipment or experience. Activities that, if done consistently (that's the all-important 'if'), can keep people more functional, healthy and independent for longer. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

#1924 Doing Better Than You Feel - Harps & Tiff

#1923 Self-Awareness, Anxiety & Behaviour Change – Dr. Lillian Nejad

Sometimes what we want is the couch, Cheetos and Netflix. Sometimes what we need is to get up, lean into the discomfort, and do the thing. Our resident Clinical Psychologist Dr. Lillian is back and we explore what gets in the way of behaviour change, how to manage anxiety, why understanding yourself matters, and how to strike the right balance between empathy, accountability and tough love.

#1922 How Much Do We Really Know? - Dr. Cam McDonald

Of all there is to know, how much does 'the smartest species' actually know? My guess is, not nearly as much as we'd like to believe. Dr. Cam's back and this was an atypically deep and philosophical conversation where we leant into religion, spirituality, parallel universes and all the 'woo-woo' stuff that doesn't really fit into our logical, explainable, comfortable, familiar, scientific box.

#1921 Movement Is Medicine - Kelly Smith

Kelly Smith is back for more free coaching (I know what she's up to), hitting me with the hard questions about the multi-dimensional process of getting in shape, and maintaining it. Along the way, we chat about why some people change and some don't (even with the same resources and reasons), the pros and cons of sharing our health/fitness journey online, the role of psychology in changing physiology, the 'intimidation factor' in gyms, why Kelly's Psychologist prescribed her exercise over medication, and lots more.
