In the western world, in my experience, many people have fear around and associated with death and dying. At least this has been my observation. I lost my first husband, Brian, to Melanoma cancer 16 years ago and his passing was far from a celebration of his life. Whilst I am comfortable in the celebration we had at home after his funeral, there are many things that I would change if I could, about the way he passed away. As many people in my community have also witnessed, watching a loved one pass away a slow and painful death, is one of the worst experiences you can go through in life. In this episode I speak with Zenith Virago, who is a deathwalker. She is someone I am thrilled to share with you, in the hope that some elements of what we speak about, help spark a conversation for you with your loved ones. We talk about: · How a deathwalker can help support you in life and in passing · What it means for men to be given the space to show emotion · The difference between a policy and a law · Voluntary assisted death The topic of death is not easy. No-one wants to cause their loved ones grief at the thought of them not being Earthside in a physical capacity. If there is one thing I have learnt from this conversation it is that we have many more choices than we think we do, when it comes to the legalities of our passing, as well as how we want to be celebrated.

Jack's first step into the world of addiction was around the age of 12 when he smoked pot behind Chadstone shopping centre with a mate's older brother's friends. It quickly escalated into drinking and taking MDMA. By the age of 17 he was a fully blown ice addict stealing from his family to fuel his habit. It was a moment of clarity when he realised he didn't have enough money to buy a Big M – and the symbolism behind that – that saw him reach out to his family for help, that started his path to recovery. In this episode Jack and I discuss: · The honest reasons why people take drugs · Rehabilitation that saves but sometimes keeps people in perpetual fear · Alternative methods of recovery that have better outcomes · Not seeing relapse as inevitable · Changing the underlying programming that fuels the fire of addiction · Giving yourself permission to forgive Jack is the kind of person whose story stays with you long after you stop listening to him talk. The fact that he survived addiction, psychosis and his multiple suicide attempts is testament to the fact he was meant to share his story and change the perception of standard addiction treatment. Believing in what you know and what you see to be true, and standing up for what you feel in your gut is the right path, takes courage in a world where people's lives are at stake.

This conversation brings up a lot for discussion in terms of not just current and retired players of the AFL but society as a whole and how head trauma can be the catalyst of the downward spiral in mental health. Peter and I also discuss how head trauma might affect children as young as 6 years of age, who are playing impact sports that result in head trauma. All of these have wide implications how we look at and treat mental health and often the extension of that, domestic violence. To say this is an important conversation is a gross understatement. In this episode we discuss: · Neurological impairment as a result of brain trauma · The four pillars by which we measure brain impairment · The concussion rule in the AFL · Women playing AFL · Children and brain trauma As a parent and grandparent, and an avid supporter of AFL this conversation has left me questioning if I have truly evaluated the risk versus rewards of contact sport. And as Peter says, are we treating the brain with the respect we should, when we have three weeks off with a hamstring injury and just 12 days for a brain injury? Show Notes: 1.28 – When Peter's career of managing AFL players began 4.38 – Managing negotiations of Nicky Winmar's contract 7.23 – Concussion rules in the AFL 8.17 – The four pillars by which to measure brain trauma – mood, behaviour, cognition and motor skills 9.07 – Neurological impairment 9.43 – Staggering statistics in former AFL players who are showing symptoms of brain trauma, including structural damage 12.01 – Dylan Grimes and does delayed concussion exist 14.44 – Primary testing prior to playing AFL 18.44 – Danny Frawley and Shane Tuck 19.46 – CTE and how it is diagnosed 22.23 – Shaun Smith's record payout and the Bradford Hill causation paradigm 25.00 – Children playing AFL and the research of Vicky Anderson into children's brain trauma 26.40 - Prevention and mitigation strategies 28.06 - Nick Riewoldt's comments in regard to players being able to make their own decision on playing after a concussion 30.09 – Player education on brain trauma 29.45 – Insurance policies not being fit for purpose 32.26 – Women in AFL – the dose rate of brain trauma as a result of concussion is lower in women than in men – Jacinda Barclay 33.30 – Maggie Varcoe 37.40 – How do we make the game of AFL safe?

This episode comes with a trigger warning. Can you imagine living everyday not knowing if the next phone call you are going to receive is going to be the one telling you that your child had died as a result of a drug overdose? That is where you will find my guest on this episode, Stacey Brown. Two years ago, her life and that of her family was upended when her 17 year old son tried to commit suicide by driving his car into a tree. Two months prior to this, Dylan accidentally overdosed at home using household products. In this podcast Stacey and I, in a very raw and difficult conversation discuss: · A history of substance abuse · Mental health and the failing health care system · Unconscious enabling · When the popularity of supporting a cause wears off Stacey's family's trauma is being played out behind closed doors all over the world.

Scott Darlow is someone that I had wanted to speak with on my podcast for some time. I saw him play back up for Eskimo Joe in late 2019 and new that he was someone with an interesting story. I also knew that he would challenge my perceptions and some of the ways in which I was raised. This is an important episode in a few different ways, but mainly because it has opened the door wider to me on what began as a journey of confronting, accepting and doing better in the area of racism in my own life. In this episode Scott and I speak about: · Currency and what that means to us each individually · Luck – does it really exist · Generational lenses · Michael Gudinski and who he was to Scott Show notes 0.26 – Who is Scott Darlow? 3.01 – A change in direction of career after a life changing event 4.29 – Currency 5.40 – Michael Gudinski and ‘for me, life is about how you are going to spend your one true currency 7.10 – ‘Man, you're so lucky.' 12.04 – Why is culture important? 17.03 – What is your spiritual practice? 21.19 – Generational lenses 24.29 – Have you had to defend your culture because of the way you look? 26.46 – FLUTE 27.21 – How far have we come since Kevin Rudd's ‘Sorry'?

Amelia Hill is living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Environmental Illness. These terms might sound vague or nondescript, but essentially it means that your body reacts badly to many things in our environment. Do you know that mild headache you get if you spend time in the ‘perfume' section of a department store? That is a chemical sensitivity reaction. Now multiply that to include any smells that are not found in nature – almost everything in human lives right now – and your body reacts in a way that leaves you unable to get out of bed and even just opening your eyes takes a monumental effort, that is where you find people like Amelia. It is a world of complete isolation. It is a world of frustration of not knowing the cause or how to seek treatment. It is a world where even a hug from a loved one can mean that you spend the following weeks in bed. It is a world where hope is a commodity that comes and goes. It is also a world that is a mystery to many doctors. This episode is raw. It is at times, difficult to listen to. Amelia shares her life with me and we discuss: · Finding hope when even the last of her doctors has none · How fighting for your mental health is just as important as your physical health · Loneliness in a world where physical contact is non-existent I came out of this podcast a better human than when I went into recording it. I feel blessed that Amelia felt comfortable enough to gift me her full story. Completely raw and authentic.

During the height of the covid 19 pandemic in 2020, the Early Learning sector of Australia was brought to its knees. In an area that has always been a political pawn, and what I consider an easy target, there was a push to stand up and change policy to allow Australians to continue to be able to work in essential services, with the knowledge that their children would remain cared for in the centres that had delivered that service. It was thanks to Paul Mondo and those he worked closely with, as well as staff in Early Learning centres, that parts of our economy were able to adapt and move forward in what was a time of chaos. In this podcast Paul and I discuss: · The importance of support of Australian families as an extension of the care of their children · Implementing nationwide changes that could improve outcomes for children · Changing perception of community in regard to those who love to work in Early Learning centres Show notes: 1.34 – How did Paul end up working in Early Learning Services? 5.36 – When did being a man in a female dominated industry become noticeable to you? 9.22 – Community perceptions of men in the Early Learning space 10.29 – Wages for men 13.50 – Better outcomes for children 14.30 – The curriculum of Early Learning services 16.25 – Why are there differences from state to state in the name Early Learning and the first year of school and how that affects children 22.15 – Composite classes and social maturity in children 25.48 – Advocacy in the Early Learning space 31.02 – Policy changes that saved the sector from complete collapse 35.16 – The guilt some parents feel placing young children in the care of others 40.05 – Frontline care 47.08 – Soul purpose 53.10 – What is it about this sector and what you have found, that you think the world needs to know is amazing?

In my opinion the term functional movement has been bastardised over the last 5 or so years. To the point that you can justify any movement or exercise as functional. In this conversation, Mike and I discuss what functional fitness really is and just how important the connection between quadrupedal and bipedal movement is for human health. We also talk about the importance of being conscious IN YOUR body and health and how functional movement modalities can improve not just your physical health, but your cognition and brain health! I hope this episode inspires you to be curious about how you can move more effectively for the purpose of not only longevity of life, but also to have fun. Because having fun is an essential element to any changes that occur in your body and in your thinking!

RC Nakai For me, this podcast was like speaking with a wise Grandfather. RC's wisdom and spirit is physically able to be felt in the way he speaks about his cultures and how he sees we can improve our relationships with all cultures. We talk about how he shares what he says is not his gift to the world, through playing the flute, but how he shares prayer through what he does in concert. At times I felt in awe of RC's ability to see and express simply how we are all the same in being immigrants from all over the world and in the way that he speaks about traveling to different countries as being somewhat of an extension of all of the land that we inhabit. This conversation was truly a privilege and one that I will treasure as one of the gifts being able to bring you the Raw – Heart & Soul podcast has given me personally. 1.05 – RC describes his cultural background 3.00 – Family history and why they were known as the Wanderers 7.39 – Relationships between people of the Americas and the South Pacific 12.40 – Finding the native American flute 17.00 – ‘I've only made three flutes.' 18.00 – 11 or 12 Grammy nominations that are awards sitting in a drawer 23.22 – ‘Music is the language that we use to pass down history, from one generation to another.

I said you know what the world is really about, but they are going to train you to forget all of that, and follow something that doesn't exist. I said, it's in you. I said, you are the essence of what we call in my cultures, all life.' 36.53 – How covid has affected RC's travel and touring 38.11 – Giving people a prayer 39.54 – I still have a dream 46.47 – Political systems and how they control us You can find RC Nakai here: www.rcarlsonakai.com spotify:playlist:5PRAHpv3uOWNvZyqCIMSml You can find Tanya here: www.rawheartandsoul.com www.integritychiropractic.com.au Instagram: tanyaacarroll

Dave Hollis is a father of four, an author and a thinker and speaker. The former Disney film distributor chief, responsible for the relaunch of the Star Wars franchise, the Avengers series, and mega-hits such as Frozen and Beauty and the Beast, left his prestigious post at Disney for a complete change in career two years ago. Dave and his then wife, Rachel moved from LA to Austin Texas to start the incredibly successful Hollis Co. Their company and equally their public profiles expanded rapidly to become two of the most sought after public speakers in the US. Until recently Dave was the CEO of Hollis Co, but after a series of life changing turns, Dave found himself in the middle of a pandemic re-evaluating his identity and where his career and life was going next. I have followed Dave on social media during the last few years and have seen him navigate a very public and traumatic separation from his wife in 2020, whilst being authentic and real in his experiences of the emotional rollercoaster that is the changing of relationship with someone you love. It is this ability to share his reality, and to openly speak about his feelings and emotions, that I believe, makes him a leader in the mental health space, as well as being a darn good human. Show notes: 2.12 – Connecting through reality of what it means to be a human 7.55 – Pivotal points in Dave's life 10.28 – Creating an empathy bridge 13.30 – The first thing Dave did after he realised his identity was going to change dramatically 16.00 – Untethered Soul book 20.17 – Giving yourself permission to sit in your feelings even if it is uncomfortable 27.20 – How can women hold space for men's emotions? 37.50 – The transition from the Hollis Co to the new future 38.50 - Faith 42.45 – Declaring 2020 was going to be the ‘best year ever' 46.20 – What should I do next and working with children 49.40 – Challenging decisions in following a different fulfilment 53.60 – Choosing to leave the dock of familiarity to find growth 55.25 – That's not what ships are built for 57.08 – Your struggle is a reflection of your humanity You can find Dave here: https://www.instagram.com/mrdavehollis/ https://thehollisco.com/ You can find Tanya here: www.rawheartandsoul.com www.integritychiropractic.com.au References: Get out of Your Own Way – Dave Hollis The Five Love Languages – Gary Chapman The Five Languages of Apology – Gary Chapman The Untethered Soul – the journey beyond yourself – Michael A.

Craig Harper Craig Harper is one of Australia's leading presenters, writers and educators in the areas of health, high-performance, resilience, self-management, leadership, corporate change, communication, personal transformation and more broadly, human behaviour. Craig has worked as an Exercise Scientist, Corporate Speaker and Consultant, University Lecturer, AFL Conditioning Coach, Radio Host, TV Presenter, Newspaper Columnist and successful Business Owner. He hosts a successful podcast called ‘The You Project', is the author of seven books and is currently completing a Ph.D in Neuropsychology. I am a big fan of Craig Harper's work, but it wasn't always that way. In his evolution from being one of the biggest names in the fitness industry, and having an ego that went with that title, to being the kind and humble person he is today, I have learnt that my own judgments of people are often a reflection of things I need to work on in myself. Craig Harper has always been genuine and authentic, but it took my own growth the see the value in his work. If it wasn't for his guidance, and a large push from my time in isolation as a result of covid in Melbourne, this podcast might not have eventuated.

Layne Beachley 7-time world champion Layne Beachley is widely regarded as the most successful surfer in history. The only surfer to claim 6 consecutive world titles, Layne's story is the testimony to the power of self-belief. A traumatic childhood ignited a flame of desperation to prove she was worthy of love.

Learning how to lose taught her how to win. 19 years on tour, 29 tour victories, 7 world titles (6 won consecutively), 5 in a state of fear. Her career was an emotional rollercoaster of happiness, injury, adventure, depression, failure and ultimately, success. An officer of the order of Australia, Chair of Surfing Australia, and founder of the Awake Academy, Layne lives a life of unapologetic honesty, sharing her experiences with humour and humility, standing firm in her values with a clear vision for the future.

After a training accident ended his competitive gymnastics career, Ryan moved to Japan and competed in various martial arts until another injury made him re-evaluate his priorities in life. As co-founder and Head Coach at GMB Fitness, his mission is to show everyone that you can define your own fitness as a sustainable and enjoyable part of your life. A very humble and honest guy, Ryan Hurst is someone I have a lot of time for. After careful consideration of my invitation to be a guest on Raw – Heart & Soul, I am truly grateful for this open conversation that exemplifies the human he is. Ryan is a world leader (my words, not his!) in helping people understand that fitness – in whatever way you define that – is different for every person and a constant ebbing and flowing of exploring what that means to you on a personal level. Ryan shows us that connecting with how you feel when you move is far more important than counting reps or getting abs. This episode is somewhat longer than my normal shows because Ryan and I got lost in the flow that is an exchange between two friends. In this episode we discuss: 1.55 – MovNat 3.30 – The early origins of GMB 8.03 - How Ryan ended up in Japan 11.40 – Empathy and service to the community 22.00 – what you see is what you get – being true to who you are 24.12 – joining the dots of where life has led you 25.10 – one of the biggest influences on Ryan's life 27.30 – meeting Jarlo and Andy, the other two co-founders of GMB 29.00 – Ryan's philosophy around movement 32.15 – what is truly important to me 36.20 – where is GMB going and the method 43.22 – aging and how that affects our movement 46.15 – you decide how the practice is going to go 49.40 – eating skills 52.45 – finding your own voice 56.40 – not comparing yourself to anyone else 1.02.16 – growth in vulnerability You can find Ryan here: www.gmb.io You can find Tanya here: www.rawheartandsoul.com www.integritychiropractic.com.au https://www.facebook.com/Raw-Heart-Soul-Podcast-113623920504349

When Corey's daughter Tilly Wilkes was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) in 2011, it turned his world upside down. The Wilkes family had never heard of the words 'Epidermolysis Bullosa' and to learn of the painful and cruel life their daughter was about to face was devastating. Once they adjusted to taking care of Tilly and learning to bathe and bandage their newborn's open wounds, they accepted the fact that Tilly's condition wasn't curable, and they were inspired to create awareness amongst their wide network. Corey made a promise to his little girl ,that he will one day find a cure for her. The Wilkes family established the Cotton Ball, a large biennial Gala event to raise funds for EB. The events were so successful it fuelled their determination to cure their daughter and all EB sufferers. In 2016, the family with some close friends, established their own not-for-profit to raise significant funds to invest into science and medical research that will lead to a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa. The EB Research Foundation was born and last week announced they have united with EB Research Partnership USA to become the largest global organization focused on funding research to discover treatments and cures for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a group of devastating and life-threatening genetic disorders that affect individuals from birth. Our shared mission to find treatments and cures for EB will be better served by uniting our organizations and driving research further to cure EB as quickly and efficiently as possible and making Corey's promise to his little girl a reality.

Chris (Chick) Jones Chris Jones is a sporty minded former chartered accountant from Wales. When he came to Australia he transitioned into becoming a Chek Professional and 15 years ago, with some colleagues opened a physical training studio, Primal Movement on Sydney's Northern Beaches where he is still practicing today. Chris is now the sole owner of Primal Movement and is a husband to Nicky and Father of two beautiful children. Close to three years ago Chris was holidaying with his young family when he was caught in a significant windstorm, where he sustained life threatening injuries when a large tree fell on him. Whilst trapped for two hours under the tree and the subsequent rebuilding of his pelvis and some of his internal organs, Chris found and drew upon his quiet and humble inner strength to not only survive the injuries, but to walk again and return to his family and the job he loves. This episode of Raw- Heart and Soul is personal and at times I found it difficult to keep my emotions under control. Chris is part of my Chek family, and when the news of his accident came through, I understood just what a serious position he was in. And I worried for his life and his family, and if he survived, how he would recover. We talk about the methods he instinctively used in order to stay alive until help arrived, the pain and trauma he experienced during and after the accident and how he found the drive to put everything he had into his rehabilitation, when the outcomes where completely unknown. Please join me in sharing what is an ongoing journey of learning about what I would say is courage, but what I know Chris would disagree and say is, just doing what he had to do.

This is a brief summary of what you can expect when tuning in each week to the Raw - Heart & Soul podcast. My aim is to bring you conversations with guests who have been through, or are going through the journey of finding what their soul purpose is. I delve deep into how they uncovered that for themselves, as well as the experiences for growth they had along the way. I am a person who learns from not just the end result but in all of the raw, emotional and testing times that happen between the pages of the stories. I hope you find these conversations thought provoking as well as inspiring.
