​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.

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.

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.

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.

Self-Care in Health-Care

4/2/2020

 
Our nurses around the world are on the front line in a workplace we have, perhaps, taken for granted for too long. We applaud them, sometimes in the streets, recently openly around the globe. Yet, have we trained them to be able to self-care to the level that is needed to be able to sustain the level of work that is now called for to keep them healthy and well in times of long hours and high stress at work? Listen to two nurses, Shushila and Bianca, who have walked this path, burnt out and then re-trained themselves to be able to share a different way of supporting themselves to support others. Joining them are two mental health care workers Gabrielle Caplice and Annette Baker who are the support service for a number of front-line nurses and speak from what many of the nurses they support have shared with them, and have offered to be shared with many more, so we can support each other more truly. 
We can only truly honour our nurses
​by encouraging them to honour themselves first.  

Living with Quality...oh and Cancer

5/2/2019

 
This interview is a game-changer for me. Kate shares her experience of treatments around cancer, of the rollercoaster of healing and hope for a cure, of surgery, of chemo and of making decisions that are right for her.

I have no doubt this episode will be one that supports people with cancer, but also, those who are carers. We cannot know what it is like to walk that path but we can listen and understand so we can be better companions.
This interview may bring up conversations or thoughts you have not wanted to address. Please ensure you get good support for yourself. Numbers for support services are in the resource section of this blog.

The Honest Truth

12/2/2018

Truth and honesty are foundational tenets of most school and workplace mission statements, but I would ask, how can we consider what the truth is if we don't first know how to be honest with ourselves or others? Gabrielle Caplice, Annette Baker and Lucy Dahill unravel why we may not want to be honest but why it is a matter of future health and wellbeing.
This is the last post for the year - see you in 2019 - don't forget to listen back to some of the other 2018 shows and share away!
A lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Are We Underestimating The Heart?

10/28/2018

 
How much do we underestimate the heart? Is it just part of our function or can it and does it offer so much more that can support us as we live our lives? Phil Shirvington has worked with a dynamic group of teachers to bring the heart, stillness and questioning into practice through Wisdom, Life Faith Studies and shares some foundational understanding as well as top tips for practice.

The Scourge of Shame

10/14/2018

 
How much does shame influence the decisions we make and the behaviours we have taken as our normal? Jean Gamble talks us through shame and regret and teases out the different types of shame - toxic, functional and vicarious shame. What if there is a way to re-frame our thinking? Get snug as a bug in a rug and perhaps a pen and paper - you may want to take notes!

The Juggle of Study and Life

10/7/2018

 
The show today is an up close and personal with study – the stress, the anxiety, the need – and perhaps most importantly, the why. A fundamental question has to be why are we studying and who are we studying for? If we have a family or are studying and working full or part time there are challenges inherent in juggling those commitments and responsibilities. There is a level of support we need to bring to ourselves in order to offer the space and perspective to work effectively without overriding the communication from our bodies and making ourselves sick. There is nothing intelligent about choosing dysfunctional behaviours! Join Lucy as she shares some of the things she learnt the hard way!
