Tim Morrison is the creator of Invictus, a Mens programme centred around the masculine archetypes and values. Through Invictus he has helped hundreds of men in WA, recently holding his first womens program too. Invictus has been the most impactful program ive ever done, and in this podcast, we explore my experience of it, as well as a few questions I have for Tim. The reason for this episode is to help those men and women sitting on the fence, get the answers they need, to feel safe enough to begin the process and receive Tims magic. I do not push many offerings from others, but this is something I will vouch for with every bit of my heart and soul. Lets go!

#251 - How to be Authentically YOU (Live workshop) This is a workshop I created specifically for the Conscious Leaders event here in Perth a few weeks back. I do feel there is real power in this, but this was just an outlet for me to get some of my thoughts around this topic, out of my head and onto paper. I wanted to approach this from a slightly different perspective. Instead of focusing on action and behaviour, choosing to focus on what compels those actions and how we can begin to make more consistent and aligned actions, which lead to showing up as authentic... at least more often than not. As of right now I have no intention of refining and continuing to deliver this, but if you see value in it, I would be more than happy to come to your club/organisation and do so. #mentalhealth #emotionalhealth #authenticity #trauma #vulnerbaility #menswork #embodiment

#127 Do something that lights you up! This week we chat to one of my favourite humans, Briana Laurel Bowley. We talk about her experience with weight loss, homelessness and chasing her dream... even when it seemed unlikely. Briana and I were lucky enough to meet last year at bridge & extreme, where she was my 'blind cuddles' buddy. Since then her growth and commitment to herself has inspired me to find the same resilience and fire within me. I hop you enjoy it!
Tins back in the house to chat about her upcoming program, UNFILTERED! hello@tineshamisky.com.au
This week we're back to chat with Bryn Edwards, host of WA real, to talk about conspiracies, narcissism, psyche, shadow, knowing and a whole lot more. I've gotta be honest, I came into this interview believing that Bryn was of the same belief as me, that "we need to stand up and fight for our rights".... BOYYY was I wrong lol. Bryn came in absolutely firing and spoke into what he sees playing out in those that are taking a stand for either side. Let me be clear, this will trigger some of you, but if you're open to receiving, I know this will be one of the most powerful, profound and aligning interviews you will listen to. This conversation was the loving slap in the face that I needed to move from a state of resistance and anxiety, to one of surrender, openness and ultimately peace. I really do hope you enjoy this.

This is just a riff off the back of an interview I did this morning which lit me up and made me fall head over heels for another man! Tap in. Lean in. Embrace the connection!!
This is for all my MEN out there looking the create a life they love by breaking out their comfort zone! I consider myself deeply committed to myself and self actualisation so those arent the only fears Ive broken through lately... A couple in the last year have been: -Returning to the mining industry as a mental health speaker after being evacuated for being suicidal -Pricing a couple weekends of work at $50,000, which was way beyond anything I though I could ever hold or be worthy of. -Crying in front of strangers. -Holding the first ever FIFO mental health summit...twice. -Getting naked in front of a room of 100 people. -Confronting my parents. -Owning my mistakes, mostly around ego driven behaviour. -Allowing myself to be seen. -Allowing myself to be supported, especially by women. -Paying $9000 for a course
This is a quick one and something that I feel is sooo important to tap into while enroute to change, and that is... 1.Whose love did you crave most growing up? 2. Who did you have to be to get it? (whether you got it or not) 3. Is that still present and is it serving me?
This is me giving myself permission to freely express myself about the challenging yet beautiful transformation ive gone through the last 7-8 weeks as a part of Kaboom coaching by @prestonsmiles

Since @iceman_hof made cold shock therapy mainstream, its become common place to see your friends and family posting about cold showers, morning beach dips and ice baths... but why? There are many benefits, but the ability to handle external stressors def tops the list for me. Learning how to connect back in to my body when it says "holly fuck thats cold!" is such a powerfull skill/tool to have in your kit... and ultimately I really do believe that the way you respond to cold, reflects the way you respond to external stressors within your day to day life.

This is for those of us who have implemented self care tools or practises to honour and commit to ourselves.... are you still using it as self care, or has it become a form of defense against the dark arts #gryffindor aka defending yourself from feelings and experiences that arent so desireable?
