The You Project

Kelly Smith is back from her overseas jaunt and back at TYP sharing the love and banging questions my (and Tiff’s) way. I may have gotten a little evangelical and bossy with a few of my responses, so if you don’t feel like a ‘be all you can be’ (type of) coaching moment with the only child, see you tomorrow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This time around, we chat about Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (TES) - say that ten times fast. The TGA has just approved TES for treating things like mental health (anxiety, depression, addiction), physical pain, motor learning issues, stroke recovery and fatigue. We also talk about carrots, Tiff's anger issues, and David's lack of respect for my research skills. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is an uncomfortable but important topic to explore because unfortunately, it's a phenomenon that is not only widespread, but it's also on the rise. According to PhD researcher (and TYP regular) Nicole Liddell, an ever-increasing number of people (mostly women) are being subjected to different forms of coercive control, manipulation and abuse via technology. This is a chat about that.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tiff and I head down a philosophical rabbit hole in this one, chatting about life design, contentment, climbing the mountain, who we are when nobody's watching, why we don't change (even when we want to), understanding our mind, escaping our mind and lots more.

*Hi Everyone!! Before you listen to this, just a quick heads-up... my guest Jane has a vocal cord injury which means her voice is relatively quiet, so it might take a little more listening effort than normal... also, her internet connection and microphone weren't awesome which means there are a few small gaps. Jane is a good friend of mine, former on-air radio partner for eight years and truly one of the most inspiring, courageous and loving people I know.. and I know some awesome humans. Please excuse the average audio quality but Jane's story, attitude and energy is incredible. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the bloke who’s allegedly our resident ’Tech Expert’, Patrick has quite the ability to not talk about technology for most of the episode. I blame Tiff. And Patrick. It’s definitely not me. Nonetheless, this was a lot of fun. Enjoy.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For this TYP instalment I sat down with Dr. Avi Charlton and talked all-things wellness, nutrition, optimal health and why she stepped away from the mainstream medical model to better treat and serve her patients. Dr. Avi is a GP, speaker, author, and thought leader in lifestyle medicine. She is the founder of Melbourne Low Carb Clinic and Breathe in Health, where she helps people reverse chronic conditions and improve wellbeing through nutrition, functional breathing, and lifestyle interventions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This time at TYP Central, Bobby and I chat about the myriad of variables which impact the way our brain works (or doesn't work), with a specific focus on the relationship between nutrition and cognitive performance. Oh, and lots of other stuff. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, it seems that three-hours is quite the time commitment, especially when it comes to listening to a single podcast, like episode 2,000. With that feedback ringing in my ears, today I'm sharing just the 'Melissa part' of that verbal marathon as a stand-alone episode for the many who missed out on the Queen of TYP (AKA my boss). For my newer listeners, Melissa is my Business Partner who prefers to be off-mic and behind the scenes, but just like the super shy Red Panda of the Himalayas, every now and then I manage to coax her out of her natural habitat (the TYP subterranean bunker) and into the studio (usually by dangling some kind of new Apple product in her face).

Sometimes it feels like we're doing life on autopilot and often, that's because we are. Same habits, patterns, choices, actions, conversations, broken promises (often to ourselves) and outcomes that didn't really 'work' the last ten thousand times. But nonetheless, we find ourselves in day ten thousand and one, like a character in a story we didn't write, unconsciously stepping back into our very own mental, emotional, social and behavioural Groundhog Day. Consciously and intentionally changing our 'personal operating system' (the way we typically do things) is easier said than done (of course) but totally worth the effort.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
