Today's Feelz are about my experience of being a codependent bisch.  Codependency has been a constant coping mechanism for me since a very young age. In my work as a mental health counsellor, I have noticed codependency is as common as a corolla; many people experience it without realising.

Today's waffle is on money feelz. I was in bed thinking about how much financial stress has impacted my emotional health + how common financial anxiety is for many.

This one just flopped out of my brain and onto the internet. It's interesting when you've genuinely began the recovery journey through complex mental health, depression, dissociation etc. Six years on, I reflect on the elements of my personality that dropped away once I built a strong relationship with myself.  Do you relate hun? Have you had any major coping mechanisms that are no longer there? Email me: feelzpodcast@gmail.comApologies for the dribs and drabs of mic feedback

"I feel too much"

Feelz. A mental health podcast without the wank. Illuminating our anger. Anger is one of the more widely marginalised Feelz in society. Drop into this episode for brief reflections on anger, a fake sponsorship ad, as well as further insightful dribble.

A little rant for anyone feeling like they are failing. Abso does not matter whether it is in relation to a project, job or personal relationship - it's the same poo feeling. Throughout the rant I reflect on the meaning of failure, the meaning of success and how fear plays a part. Get your ear region near this ipodCast fam!https://feelzpod.com/

Big shout out to the wonderful Psychologist Erin Gale for featuring on another episode of Feelz (as an unborn baby sneezes on her vagina every two minutes). In this episode we chat about sitting in the victim mindset and how we can reflect on both our internal and external locus of control to navigate our noggen's back to self-empowerment. How PREDICTABLE is a podcast episode with clean audio? So common, so beige. If you're like me and you are sick of well recorded high quality podcasts, you are in luck. During this bonus episode, Erin and myself have some nitty gritty landline audio for your listening pleasure.https://www.eg-psychology.com/https://feelzpod.com/

Mini Ep recorded in Melbourne, the audio quality is dusty but once the dust settles the wisdom is delicious. Someone asked a question on Insta about how to honour your boundaries after someone has acted like a dickhead when they're drunk. The notion of boundaries is fairly powerful and nutritious to long-term interpersonal growth.

In this episode of Feelz, I quote Australia's golden girls of a generation - The Veronicas. They have no idea this podcast exists nor do they endorse it. The real title should have been "A quick tip for when you feel life is falling apart". Sometimes our cynicism and burnout makes it hard to appreciate life or to feel its joy. I touch in briefly on my own experience, then bang on a bit about how powerful the body is.

You are 30 something, more or less a giant child. Nek minit, you look around and all of the other giant children are now having children themselves. CONFUSION. As Lou and I commence our fertility journey (aka A lesbian's guide to spending thousands of dollars on semen), I felt keen on discussing a new narrative emerging in the world. Adulthood without kids.

NSFC: We are not born with an inner critical voice. We are not born with a voice at all. We develop our consciousness and our internal narrative over time, taking cues from the people and environment around us. Join me today for this silly episode of sillyness as I sit down and interview my inner critic aka ME.

Disclaimer: This episode discusses clothing sizes and may cause emotional flashbacks for those working through eating disorders. Yvia Magan-Parker previously styled for enterprises such as Country Road, she now shares her wisdom around fabric styling in order to support you in using threads to your advantage when it comes to self-love. Thank you to this GORJUS human for sharing her in-depth knowledge of the fashion industry.

The mind absolutely foamed during this conversation with Glen Benton of the musical project Anavaiix. Glen is a person centred and holistic mental health counsellor who shares his own lived experience of emotional trauma. In addition, we evolve into spiritual wankers using big mind words such as "sacred geometry". Enjoy hun.

Loved taking a minute to honour the epic resilience of Mums during this hectic year. Claire Dicarlo walks us through her COVID Bun Making, expanding on how important it is to be able to wipe your own bottom. A luxury she previously took for granted.

Helping yourself heal when someone dies (or a relationship is lost) is spiritually painful. In Episode 12 of Feelz we unpack the notion of grief and I make more references to haemorrhoids because they are funny.

Melbourne Yogi, Caitlyn Taylor, unpacks how the western yoga industry became so wanky; but offers strategies on how to cut through the wank and enjoy the practice as intended.

Do you like art but don't understand the wanky schmanky jargon? Are you a fan of gingers? Are you curious about how to become a full-time creative? If so, wrap your ears around this episode of Feelz as Jason Parker and Bree Stewart feel all of their emotions via a Lockdown zoom session.

Psychologist, Erin Gale talks all things feelingz as we both answer Q&As from listeners. Some of the sh*t talking includes: when to ignore your therapist, preparing for uncertainty and how being a spiritual wanker can soothe your COVID blues.

Throughout part one of this two part episode Erin and I shoot the sh*t about how to be an ally to Australia's first people (& others) off the back of Bree being involved in a dollop of social media backlash. We also unpack some of the things a person might expect when seeing a therapist for the first time. All opinions are our own, please seek tailored support where possible. 

This episode needs to be heard by so many. Such a common recurrence I notice in my work and amongst peers (also in my own day-to-day lyf) - The C Word. Comparison. It is a necessary human driver, but it can slow us down due to misplaced measures of success. Join me as I talk the words and dribble the wisdom on another episode of Feelz.

Life's pretty f*cking rough right now. Global pandemics are running rampant, no footy on TV, plus Cadbury just instigated the comeback of Marble Chocolate and it tastes like foot. The current climate really calls for percolating with our feelz. Myself and former Kiwi MMA fighter, Steele, discuss the process of our pursuits, what lies in laziness and the mystery of the ghost poo.

M8s. Peer Connection. The under-valued power of community in mental health recovery is fundamental to emotional wellbeing for both the individual and the mental health carer.

A brief clip with some insight about empowering yourself whilst residing at home during COVID19. Listen out for a gaggle of cockatoos ruining the episode.

The current COVID19 (aka corona, toyota corolla, sharona-virus) has highlighted our abilities to be open, raw and vulnerable about our mental and emotional wellbeing. Whilst the affects of this pandemic are very painful, there are some core strategies and actions we can take to aid recovery as a society. Positive psychologist Erin Gale provides some delicious insight for your mind. Recording date - 19th Feb 2020. 

Thanks for stopping by Feelz the Podcast for semi-qualified advice from a Ranga living in Australia. I have spent half of my life living in New Zealand and the second half (thus far) in the land of Australia (where I currently reside). Whilst there are many incredible organisations campaigning to break down the stigma of mental health at large, we are still faced with the historical stoicism that leads us toward internalising our feelings - namely in the form of “I'll be right”, “she'll be right” or my personal favourite “I'm just being a pussy”. This denial of varying emotion pushes our feelings so far down inside we may involuntarily shit them out after our morning weet-bix. The current COVID19 (aka corona, corolla, sharona virus) has highlighted our abilities to be open, raw and vulnerable about our mental and emotional wellbeing, and whilst the affects of this pandemic are very painful, I hope it mentors us in honouring our emotions aka "Feelz". Whilst a podcast cannot replace or fulfil the void of interpersonal connection, it's a step in the right direction. Within this space we will be discussing relationships, work, sexuality, age, parenthood and whatever else comes to the front of the cerebral. There's lots of f*ckwits making podcasts these days, so why not tune into a f*ckwit that cares about your feelings. I hope this audio space serves you as a safe haven for your thoughts (hopefully conjuring up some laughter along the way). 

In episode 2 of Feelz the Podcast myself and Positive Psychologist, Erin Gale, enjoyed a semi-intellectual froth off the big shifts that occur when we transition from our youthful adulthood into our proper adulthood, the 30s and beyond. So yearns the question: When is the legitimate shift in which you suddenly feel like a full fledged adult human?
