​Health and wellbeing is more
than the absence of illness and disease.
​Welcome to a podcast that gets under the surface of what keeps us healthy and well.

Back recording!

1/21/2022

 

Stay in the Loop with Lucy is back recording and what's to come is going to knock your socks off!

Coming up any day now is an audio that was started by a collaboration with The Post where there was just so much to share about our dating scene and what we class as a relationship and love. The interviews build on some of our previous interviews and just highlight that we are really living such a reduced version of the Love we all know should be in our relationships.
Here are links to some of the previous audios
Communication in Relationships
Decency and respect in Relationships
Gay relationships and Same Sex Marriage
Intimacy - Up close and Personal
Time to Love Unconditionally
The Power of Love and the Heart

Understanding Your Gamer

7/12/2020

 
Leigh has been there and done that - she has seen herself as highly successful online but been unemployed and on benefits in real life. Her advice is - "When someone who games, talks to someone who doesn't game, you may as well be talking Japanese because if you don't know the lingo, then a lot of miscommunication can happen....You don't have to like gaming, but if you like or love the person who is gaming, then understanding what they are saying does help :-)

Finding Your Voice

5/30/2020

 
Young people have much to say but how do they find an outlet for that expression without being intimidated by doing something new or meeting new people? Meet Eloise who started to see the benefits of the Social Justice team in year 9 at school and now sees it as part of who she is and her purpose in life. It wasn't always easy but it was worth every step and she is still just at the beginning!

A Woman's Cycle - more than a 'monthly inconvenience'?

5/24/2020

 
How do we talk about women's cycles? Is menstruation still something we keep hidden and don't talk about? Does sex education only concentrate on the function of a woman's body for pregnancy, or making sure we don't get pregnant? And how many of us have described our menstrual cycle as a curse, an inconvenience, or have tried whatever means possible to stop their period coming?

If that is the case, what would the impact be? 

Would we not understand why we feel tired, cranky, get cramps, have difficulty conceiving?

Sara Harris from Living Stillness and founder of Follow Your Flow explains how our body has a cycle which has different seasons just like the seasons around us. If you want more information about the different quality and stages of the cycles, check out Sara's amazing and programs through Follow Your Flow. She also has audios and blogs that can support a deeper relationship with your cycle - enjoy all the website has to offer!

Parenting in Lockdown

5/6/2020

 
We have all these pictures about how to be the perfect parent and they can all come to a rather messy, puss filled head when constrained by lockdown and restrictions in our physical space. Yet how we approach it can have a massive impact on outcomes. What if it is a wonderful opportunity to listen to each other and to honour what each person in the home is feeling? Join me by to three amazing guests Rachel Mascord, Carmin Hall, Vanessa McHardy share their powerful lived experiences.

I lost my job and found myself

5/4/2020

 
Meet two men who have had to re-assess their approach to their role in life. In their separate worlds they had been brought up and conditioned to see themselves as the provider for their families. That meant leaving their wives to bring up their children and finding themselves defined by their jobs. So what happens when their jobs are no longer available? Sam built a $2m company to a $20m company, travelled the world, employed a large staff, was expanding only to find the company experience a major change and close. Greg who lost his job last week but found it was a vastly different experience from the last time he lost his job thanks to the foundation he has built for himself.
We are so much more than we allow ourselves to believe we are,
we are so worth it.

What's going on with Ryan?

5/2/2020

 
We can see children as too small to know any better, or we can see them as equals who have much to offer us by reflection. Ryan Adams shares with great tenderness how his behaviour could have been described as 'rambunctious' and perhaps 'difficult' but to him, he was trying to work out who he was and trying to build his own boundaries.

​Now, as a parent himself, he offers some wise reflections for us, not just as parents, but as a community who parent the many children and young adults in our community.

Losing your job without losing yourself

4/26/2020

 
Are you a professional who has lost their job, working from home, concerned about the constant changes in legislation and business advice and found their sense of self spinning like a top? My guests today are three women who offer a very sensitive perspective of finding the new opportunities in amongst the unsettlement of Covid-19 Lockdown. They have an 'I will do whatever it takes' attitude, but that does not mean they did not have to dig deep and remember their foundations and values in order to live that without adding to their stress. 
Picture
The confusion and unease around initial changes to work practices meant these women had to address the stress and reassess how to make decisions. There are also some amazing insights for raising girls in the future - if we can show our girls that you are who you are in your essence and that can't be defined or boxed (by a profession or a title) they are then prepared for everything that comes.

Ease, Unease, Disease, Life Beyond Lockdown

4/25/2020

 
Lockdown can be seen in two ways - our worst nightmare, or an opportunity to re-evaluate, make changes, set new foundations and then take that back out into the world again. Are you ready to consider if the lens through which you have viewed your life to date are the lens that best reflect your true self? Gabrielle Caplice and Annette Baker join Lucy Dahill for another in-depth discussion on ease, unease and disease - life after lockdown.

Criticism in Families

4/10/2020

 
Parents can be full of helpful advice, yet it can get heard by adolescents as criticism. Listen to Gabe, Annette and Lucy for some insights into how we develop the way we hear words and how intention and reception can be very different. This two part series is an incredible opportunity to consider the impact of the way we communicate in relationships, in our families. Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill consider what criticism looks, sounds and feels like and how that plays out for children, teens and adults alike.
