The poison of Comparison

1/29/2023

 
Stay in the Loop with Lucy · The poison of comparison
Why is it so natural to go into comparison? Are we measured from such an early age that we have forgotten how to adore each other just for being who we are rather than for what we did or achieved?

Check our the latest audio from Annette Baker and Gabrielle Caplice which looks at why comparison is so prevalent and taking personal responsibility to address it in our own lives so we can bring awareness to it and - dare I say - stop it in all our lives.
Everyone wants to be loved, everyone wants to be adored

Do We Know How To Be Human?

6/19/2022

 
Stay in the Loop with Lucy · Do we know how to be Human?
After the last post on death and dying - I felt there was an important question to ask - do we know how to live?! Let's be honest, there are handbooks for everything and most of them tell us we are have much to learn, so when Cynthia Hickman a psychotherapist wrote a 'Handbook for Being Human' I was intrigued. My interview with Cynthia talks to how we grow up in this world without buying into the fear factor that is fed to us left, right, centre, up and down!

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 :-)

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.

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.

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.

The Honest Truth

12/2/2018

 
Picture
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.
