To Be Human

Abdalla is an entrepreneur and investor here in Dubai.This is a conversation on the war on men's minds. As Abdalla shares, “If you can capture people's mind, you can enslave them.” Abdalla passionately explores the reflection of the relationship between the modern man and that of being a slave, how to deprogram from society's conditioning, take your power back and attain freedom. He shares that when it comes to the masculine this is through a willingness to withstand pain, be accountable to oneself and live a life that is true to you rather than living to others expectations. Ultimately, are you the lion, or are you the sheep? Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with Abdalla ElshahhatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/abdallaelshato

WATCH IN-STUDIO RECORDING ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/Q5dmBu7-AVA On today's episode we have Parm Bains. Parm is a visionary thinker, compassionate guide and profound reflector. The founder of Empowered Living Mastery, Parm brings decades of lived experience, diving deep into the core of life's challenges and fostering lasting change. What I personally love about this conversation is the depth of reflection, the authenticity of expression and the symbiotic nature between us two. I am going to put it out there that I do think this may just be the best conversation I have had out of the  106 episodes recorded thus far. We were in flow and it certainly felt like there was a larger presence channelling through us both. In our relationship of self-exploration we really went layers deeper than normal. I've experienced Parm as an incredibly integrated person when it comes to his spirituality, and it was powerful to be able to challenge him to truly reflect on what you can see he genuinely believes and embodies. We discuss the concept of self-inspired bankruptcy, of non-attachment, and how particularly this affects the dynamic of connection with loved ones. We explore the notion of what is good and bad, and a new outlook of not objectifying your own perspective onto another's experience of how things should be. We ponder truth, surrender, trust and intuition, and as you can expect a whole lot more. I highly, highly recommend that you pop on over to YouTube, find me at Jennah-Louise, and watch this one; we are in studio and the depth certainly carries in visual presentation through our energy, connection and Parm's inevitable wisdom shared. Enjoy.  Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with Parm BainsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/parmbainsflow 

Sharon is the Founder of Let's Talk DXB that is redefining conversations and creating a platform for more authentic and diverse content that resonates with the Dubai community and beyond. She was recently honoured with the prestigious 2024 Women Who Thrive Inclusion and Diversity Award.What I personally love about this conversation is Sharon's depth of vulnerability; raw vulnerability. There is no pretence with Sharon. What you see and particularly what you hear from her, is exactly who she is and where she is in life. Moving from a space many of us can relate to, the prison and pain of aspired perfection, Sharon has learned through radical trial and tribulation in her life that the value and importance of ourselves lies not just in our sameness, but in our uniqueness; and particularly, in the beauty of embracing our ugliness and the messiness. This is by far one of my favourite To Be Human conversations. We explore how we can take on these survival adaptations and compensations of silencing oneself; of taking care of everyone's needs but our own. We discuss the evolution of Sharon finding her voice through her divorce that was not only a deeply challenging personal experience, but a cultural and religious awakening. We discuss shame, the power of vulnerability and authenticity, a passion for advocating for diversity and how to live a life with no pretence; of full integrated and embodied confidence to become not only the best you, but the true you.Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseVoice Note Mentorship with JL: https://www.voicenotementorship.comWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with Sharon MissahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lets.talkdxb 

Miriam is one of those women that continues to deeply inspire me and impact my life. We initially connected on podcast #34 of To Be Human which I highly, highly recommend where we explored her adventures of giving up her belongings with her partner Peter and moving to the mountains of New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 6 years and then subsequently walking 2,000km through the forests of Europe, along the coast of Turkey and ending up in the Australian desert. These incredible stories are shared in Miriam's international bestselling books, ‘Woman In The Wilderness' and ‘Wild At Heart'.What I personally love about this conversation that we have today is Miriam's continual evolution when it comes to understanding freedom, her consistent curiosity around who she really is and her commitment to living a life that is fundamentally true to her. We explore her current belief that to have a whole life that is planned is the worst prison of all. We explore the price we pay to live safe and comfortable lives and we explore how we are conditioned to continually solve problems, and what might just happen if we sat still for a moment and experienced the art of doing nothing. Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseVoice Note Mentorship with JL: https://www.voicenotementorship.comWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with Miriam LancewoodWebsite: https://miriamlancewood.com/

Ali is a former judge of the Family Court in Egypt turn Family Lawyer and Life Coach in self-discovery. He is also the author of the best selling book, ‘The Forgotten Art of Happiness'.In this conversation we explore the spirituality and practicality of happiness. Ali shares his beliefs about the path to happiness that requires courage and bravery in honouring and of being of service to who we truly are. It requires the act of questioning the norms of society, taking the mask off and looking within and ultimately taking responsibility for you, and your life.Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with Ali ZakariaTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@alizakaryaaa

We have the passionate John Gray back for a second time. John Gray is the author of one of the most influential and best selling books on relationships, ‘Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus' and has published his most recent updated book, ‘Beyond Mars and Venus: Relationship Skills for our Complex Modern World'. John can be a somewhat polarising figure in his teachings around the differences of men and women. We certainly live in an interesting time when highlighting the relationship between masculine and feminine essences can be controversial. John's been through the process and experience of being cancelled, and so this time round, I took the opportunity to ask him deeper questions around having an undeniable commitment to one's own sense of truth, what morality is to him personally, and how do we show up with courage at a time when there is so much condemnation around owning one's individuality and perspective.We also spend some time discussing how women can maintain femininity in a time where there is so much demand for providing and protecting for oneself, and as always, I let John get in his flow towards the end to speak all his wisdom around optimising self and relationships.Connect with Jennah-LouiseInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseWebsite: https://www.jennahlouise.comConnect with John GrayWebsite: https://www.marsvenus.com 

Lana Estella is a Female Mindset Coach and Mentor who specialises in NLP and Hypnotherapy. Lana and I met when I was in a contract role where I was heading a community of coaches. Upon moving to Dubai I have had the privilege of getting to know Lana on a deeper level and I realised there is a lot to Lana's life story that has been left unsaid and unshared. In this conversation I made it my intention to have Lana share her life experiences behind what most see online; though the content of her social presence of the soft life and luxury certainly has its place of inspiration, it was the path that has led her here that I find just as important. Lana opens up about being homeless, experiencing suicidal thoughts, the loss of her father and the strength, resilience and not give a fuck about other people's judgements attitude that has helped her to not only get through these moments, but grow into the woman, the coach and the mentor she is today.

Corey is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of psychological experience, Executive Coach, writer, entrepreneur and contributor for Psychology Today. What I love about this conversation is Corey's no holds barred authenticity. He is a straight to the point, living on the edge of convention kind of guy which is extremely refreshing. We discuss the topic of freedom, the importance of getting clear on your core value, and The Four Horseman of Fear that are holding you back from living the life you truly desire.Corey poses the questions: What do you give a shit about and why do you give a shit about it? He shares that most people die in mediocrity and die regretting it, which flows onto the topic of mortality and how we can use the inevitability of death to live fully.Please enjoy this conversation with Corey.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Jessie is a notable writer having written an acclaimed memoir, ‘Staying' on surviving the suicide of her loved ones and how she came to heal, and her more recent book, ‘Desire: A Reckoning' based on a the thrilling exploration of the very nature of desire.What I love about this conversation is Jessie's vulnerability, strength and commitment to self-expression. Experiencing a somewhat numbing of the body and silence of the mind, Jessie has found her power through writing and speaking on the topics that culturally we tend to steer clear of. In this conversation we explore desire, the relationship between love and attachment, and the process of coming to feel safe in your own body. We also speak to the silence around suicide and the consequential grief that those close to them experience, and how others courage through fear can help the healing of those left in pain. Please enjoy this conversation with Jessie.     #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Calvin has travelled to over 190 countries in the past 10 years whilst also completing medical school and residency. He has an organisation, the Monsoon Diaries that leads everyday travellers around the world on memorable adventures. He is the author of the book, ‘The Monsoon Diaries'. What I personally love about this conversation is Calvin's depth of insight from travelling. This rare mix of both a medical mind and spiritual soul brings a beautiful entanglement of knowledge and inner knowing. We speak on the theme of freedom and Calvin shares this idea that, ‘What is freedom but to do what you want as an anonymous stranger' which really spoke to me and my pull, particularly in my 20s having travelled to almost 50 countries, towards self-exploration and expression. We speak to the beauty in the experience of things not lasting forever and the importance of synchronicities in life; temporary entanglements; messages we believe are telling you that you are indeed on the right path.  Please enjoy this conversation with Calvin.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Bill holds a PHD in Philosophy and is a Philosophy Professor who not only teaches, thinks and writes about philosophy, but has adopted a philosophy of living known as Stoicism. He is the author of the book, ‘A Guide To The Good Life'.What I love about this conversation is Bill's ease in speaking about philosophy and particularly Stoicism as a way of life. At times academics can show up in a somewhat pretension and Bill certainly doesn't do this, and I think it's because he genuinely practises what he preaches. He's extremely passionate about making Stoicism available for everyone to at least try, at least apply, and see if you too can reap the benefits that he has. Stoicism is all about living a life of equanimity, meaning to be calm and maintain your emotions during difficult situations. Bill shares practical tools, some of which I personally apply in my own life, that can help you to take control of yourself, your reactions, and essentially live what the Stoics believe to be a good life.Please enjoy this conversation with Bill. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Zach is an ultramarathon athlete, coach and host of the Human Performance Outliers podcast. He has broken both the World and American Records in running 100 miles, that's 160km, in 11 hours, 19 minutes and 13 seconds! What I love about this conversation is the difference between Zach and I, and how much I learned from him. As many of you know, I absolutely love endurance running. I love it for the experience, the adventure, the uncertainty and the unknown. And yes, Zach certainly runs for the experience, but to be a world record holder in running 100 miles on the track, it is necessary to remove as much as you can in relation to this uncertainty and the unknown. There is a lot of great advice right down to specificity in the conversation that will help with increasing your performance, and there is a lot we can learn from Zach in terms of commitment. It took Zach 6 years of dedication to achieve the world record, and we go deep on what supported him in staying on the path of greatness during those years. Please enjoy this conversation with Zach.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

She helps people to awaken, courageously lead and unlock the power of connection in their lives and work. She is the author of the book, ‘The Connected Leader: 7 Strategies to Empower Your True Self and Inspire Others'. What I love about this conversation is Karen's absolute presence. As a leader of connection she shows up in a way that has you feel safe, heard and seen. This is certainly a vulnerable conversation as we delve into the darkness of connection, how disconnection can fuel distraction, numbing and addiction, and we explore the theme in the realm of Gabor Mate's work, stop asking why the addiction and start asking why the pain. Connection is a biological imperative, and this isn't just in relation to us and our surroundings, our relationships with others, but also our relationship with ourselves, and so in knowing that we discuss how to stop fearing ourselves and start being with ourselves. Please enjoy this conversation with Karen.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

He is known as Dr Dan on SAS Australia, and is the author of two books, ‘The Resilience Shield' and his newest publish, ‘The Combat Doctor'. What I love about this conversation is Dan's openness, vulnerability and self-awareness. You can go in conversation anywhere with Dan, which really provided the freedom to go deep into self-worth, identity, purpose, combat, the loss of fellow soldiers, PTSD, the effects on home life, and how him being the sum total of all of his experiences brought him to not only understanding psychologically but also scientifically the art and importance of resilience and post traumatic growth. Let's just say, it's a good one!Please enjoy this conversation with Dan. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

She has been a therapist for over 10 years and is the author of the book, ‘Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure In Life and Love'. What I love about this conversation is Jessica gets straight to the core of the patterns of disconnect that show up in our relationships. This is not about blame or judgement; this is about taking ownership of our experience with ourselves and other people through self-awareness. Jessica shares helpfully the four Attachment Styles that reflect the way in which we behave in relationship, and both in-moment and long-term strategies to guide us to a space of safety, security and connection. One of my favourite parts of this conversation is discussing attraction, and how we can learn to begin attracting people through chemistry over core wounding. Please enjoy this conversation with Jessica. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Nine years ago Emma was skydiving over the Swiss Alps when her instructor's parachute failed to open properly. Falling 15,000ft, that's around 4.5km, to the ground. Emma incredibly survived, but was paralysed from the waist down and told she would never walk again. In her new book, ‘The Girl Who Fell From The Sky' she shares her story of courage, resilience, hope and her journey of coming to walk again.What I love about this conversation is Emma's beautiful spirit showing the evolution of her inner strength. Emma shares she wasn't always the positively oriented person, living, as we do, in the ebb and flow of life, it wasn't until her accident that she came to truly understand her relationship with her body and the appreciation of it. We explore the idea that as much as society focuses on the way that we should look, we are indeed not our body, and that our essence appears to be closer to the truth. She interestingly shares how being in a wheelchair influenced her to deeply want to walk again, and as she powerfully began to walk, thoughts arise that now she wants to run; it gives this beautiful insight into the human condition as how we generally are always focused on more, which to an extent can be great in terms of working towards expanding one's potential, but we certainly also have to be accountable to when we continue to move the goalposts and do not appreciate what we have right now. Please enjoy this conversation with Emma.#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

He is also the film director of the documentaries ‘Food Chains', ‘Gather' and ‘3100: Run and Become' which features several Indigenous cultures in their quest for peace through long-distance running. What I love about this conversation is the enrichment, full of depth, passion and love. This is genuinely one of my all time favourite conversations from the To Be Human podcast, and it's one personally I will be listening back to more than once. I want you to go on your own journey in this one, so I won't share too much of what is inside. I will share that we do derive a lot of our conversation on the lessons learnt from filming 55 days of the 3100 Self-Transcendence Run; a 3,100 mile run around less than 1km block in Queens, New York. We discuss the beautiful relationships between endurance and growth, the beauty and joy that can be found in suffering, and the mindset of those who finish this phenomenal feat. There is also a special contribution to my dear Australian friend Stephen Redfern at the end; he has just arrived in New York to experience his own path of self-transcendence. Stephen I will preface this now with saying, the beautiful Native American Navajo People believe that, ‘Mother Earth is also under the sidewalk.' I am excited to further share this with you and with all. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Jacqui is an educator, speaker and co-founder of ‘The Broad Place' sharing knowledge and modern neuroscience, tools and experiences for mindful living. She is the author of the book, ‘The 14-Day Mind Cleanse'. What I love about this conversation is Jacqui's beautiful, vibrant and passionate energy. We discuss how we all come to trip, fall and stagnate, and the lessons we learn in overcoming. We talk about the chaos of multitasking and ways in which we can reset; which of course include exploring the evidence behind meditation and mindfulness, and how these practices can help you to experience more happy hormones. We come to a close discussing the power of embracing all the parts of who you are. For all of you beautiful regular To Be Human listeners, this is certainly a theme that continues to be repeated. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Josephine is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in Writing at Edith Cowan University. Her creative and critical writing has been anthologised and published widely including her new book, ‘Eye of a Rook'. What I love about this conversation is Josephine's openness to sharing her experience of Vulvodynia; an unexplained chronic vulva pain. For a lot of her life Jospehine has experienced what she describes as ‘obliterating pain' and it is in this episode that she shares powerfully the meaning that she has been able to derive from the experience; a redefining of suffering. Initially gagged by shame and embarrassment, Josephine now shares her story with power, a journey from antagonism and resentment to one of deep gratitude, Josephine shares, you cannot not be grateful for something that has brought you wonderful things in your life. Certainly a thought for us all to ponder on.  #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Corinne is a practising Acupuncturist, Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Coach. She is the author of the book, ‘The Art of Grieving'.What I love about this conversation is Corinne's energy and heart that she brings to the experience of grief. We discuss why in modern day society we have lost our connection with death and how this affects the healing process. We discuss how it is important to acknowledge grief, to give it space and to communicate it, rather than living in isolation. We also talk about grief being not only experienced in relation to death but also in relation to a break up, and the self-care practices that align with moving through when love meets loss. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Sally is a beautiful lady in her 80s who was a teacher in Outback Australia in the 1950s and is currently involved in the Alternative to Violence Project. She is the co-author of the book, ‘Outback Australia'; an inspiring story about her adventures in remote Australia. What I love about this conversation is the intersection between Sally's firsthand experience of working with Indigenous communities in the 1950s and her perspective on the people within these communities. Sally has a profound belief that though we may be different from culture to culture, we are indeed one, and it is more about integration than assimilation between cultures. The most important lesson Sally learnt was to respect another's culture and through her work with the Alternative Violence Project she also spans this out to people's individual journeys and experiences; that we should take time to know where one comes from to better understand where one is going. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

We explore his 5 A's that are what encompass us to meet our own needs of love in a relationship, which is really a core focus of his teachings; to always come back to yourself and look within. Dave also shares, which is really quite fascinating, the idea that many of us were brought up on this mindset that suffering and enduring are what make us successful, and it is in this conversation that he shares a different and more life fulfilling approach.

Kate is one inspirational woman who has clearly made and continues to make a significant impact in this world when it comes to public health. We discuss the mindset of commitment, the ability in seeing projects through despite large obstacles, she shares emotive stories of women from the clinic in Iran, and how her direct experiences challenged her assumption of Iran and its people that has now developed new insights. We also discuss Kate's involvement in starting the first needle and syringe program in Australia, which was the third in the world.

From the importance in getting clear on your values to ensure you stay on a path of fulfilment, to practical steps in how to deal with our inner critic, to her process of how to experience happiness. She shares her Architecture of Change, of why we should focus on mindset over action, and Intention Method, of why most people fail to achieve their goals.

Elizabeth, born in Ireland to Nigerian parents, experienced homelessness at the age of 14 alongside the experience of not growing up with a father due to him not being granted access to calling Ireland home. From this experience Elizabeth believes that families being together should be a fundamental human right. This conversation unfortunately begins a little muffled but soon enough gives into flow. The conversation certainly becomes emotive and raw in the second half, where Elizabeth shares powerful statements to inspire contribution in us all. Elizabeth's purpose is to help people experience undesirable situations in a better way, and it is without a doubt that gratitude and faith run through her veins as she shares: “Sometimes I don't think I deserve the adversity I have experienced because of how big the blessings have been.” A little insight for us all to draw inspiration from. CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEWork With Me | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH ELIZABETHLinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethpzionTIMESTAMPS00:00 Quote00:58 Introduction2:22 My beginnings will not dictate my end07:53 Growing up without a father as a refugee15:01 The importance of writing and poetry in this experience20:40 Why bringing families together is a human right28:09 Becoming homeless at the age of 14 30:42 The experience of low self-esteem, low dignity & shame36:47 Helping people to experience undesirable situations in a better way 42:26 The vital lesson of gratitude49:01 Using your crucible moments to help others50:39 How to overcome adversity57:17 What does it mean to you To Be Human?#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Hello Beautiful People!On today's podcast we have Adrian Holmes. Adrian is a family therapist, clinical supervisor and trainer. Adrian has worked in the human services field for 15 years and is currently completing PhD research related to mental health and social policy. Adrian co-founded and manages the training and supervision organisation Tools For Hard Conversations and released his first book entitled ‘Tools For Hard Conversations in the Helping Professions'. What I personally love about this conversation is Adrian's focus on the problem being the problem, not the person. In this day and age it is quite common for experts and professionals to meet people seeking support through the eyes of them being somewhat broken and needing to be fixed, rather with Adrian's take on this is that in labelling someone with say anxiety or depression, particularly children, can have real long-term damaging effects. Adrian prefers to see the person as whole, to explore our experience rather than labelling them and to lead with a foundation that we are our own experts when it comes to self-healing and self-development. We also discuss the importance of having hard conversations and the beginning processes of what that may look like. CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEWork With Me | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH ADRIANWebsite | https://www.toolsforhardconversations.com TIMESTAMPS00:00 Quote00:37 Introduction01:52 The most effective catalyst to change is through conversation03:28 The importance of seeing a person as whole06:48 Structuralism versus post-structuralism 09:48 People are their own experts12:34 Worker Positioning Quadrant16:02 The problem is the problem, not the person21:18 Explore your experience rather than label yourself23:42 Owning your change process 26:58 Meaning making & the concept of multiple realities 30:05 The misidentification with what defines us32:34 How to have hard conversations37:19 Be in this together 39:32 Be willing to have the hard conversation41:11 What does it mean to you To Be Human?#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Hello Beautiful People!On today's podcast we have the gorgeous Dr Joanna LaPrade. Joanna is a Jungian psychologist who has a Ph.D in Jungian and archetypal psychology, and is currently a practising psychotherapist. She is the author of the book, ‘Forged in Darkness: The Many Paths of Personal Transformation'. What I personally love about this conversation is Joanna's depth; and it is no surprise as she specialises in depth psychology which she explains in this episode. I always love the expansiveness of conversations like this, where the themes and traits that we usually suppress actually become the main points of focus. Why I love this so much is because not only does it avail the opportunity for you to see yourself and accept yourself in all of who you are, the light and the so-called ‘darkness' but it also touches on the fundamentals of getting to the core problem and not simply treating the symptom. Time and time again, especially in becoming a Mindset Coach, I see so often people keeping in the safety of the surface, rather than exploring the long-term healing components of depth. Certainly a topic we touch on in this episode as we explore the power of self-awareness over strategy, and how the commercialisation of self-help has become a burden to the underworld of our psychology that is at the forefront of our current behaviour and what we just may like to change.

He has even been awarded an MBE from the Queen herself, for Services to Education and Charity, having fundraised so far over 150,000 pounds.What I personally love about this conversation is Steve's absolute passion for life! He is one of those people who you listen to and you can't help but embody this infectious energy of let's get out there and let's do great things! He is a whirlwind of inspiration, as we speak about the necessity of a ‘can do' attitude, of the importance of having big dreams that both excite and scare you, and when met with setbacks, we need to learn, grow and in a true English way, just get on with it! Please enjoy this powerful conversation with the lovely Steve Hill! #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Jean had a 30+ year career as a park ranger for the US National Park Service. She is the Amazon bestselling author of her book, ‘If I Live Until Morning' which is about a wilderness adventure that took her skiing more than 200 miles along California's John Muir Trail where she came to face death from a mountaineering accident on Mount Whitney.What I personally love about this conversation is Jean's openness and candidness in laying it all out for us to learn the lessons she has embodied from this defining moment in her life at the young age of 22. We talk about the power of the mind, and how setting her intention to live out her dreams when she was on the cusp of death, is what kept her alive. Jean went onto live these dreams and shares how she probably wouldn't have if it weren't for her to not understand the shortness of life. We discuss the power of self-forgiveness, how it is important to find your voice in your journey of healing, and how stepping outside of yourself with compassion and loving kindness will always help you maintain perspective and lead to fulfilment. Please enjoy this conversation of wisdom with the lovely Jean. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Tim is the former editor of Tracks and Surfing Life magazines and a bestselling author including the books ‘High Surf' and ‘Surf Your Life' which he wrote with Mick Fanning. Tim's new book, ‘Patting the Shark' is a story of learning how to live well with metastatic prostate cancer.What I personally love about this conversation is Tim's absolute rawness. We delve into topics that are for most what would be uncomfortable. We discuss the unspoken world of hormone therapy, of chemical castration, the loss of testosterone, a hormone men are built upon, and Tim's experience with the fluidity of identity. We discuss taking an integrative approach to cancer; a partnership of conventional therapy and the importance of meditation, exercise, diet and sleep. We explore what quality of life actually means to someone with a terminal illness, and we get into mindset, my favourite, on how to make peace with your mortality, stare down your fears and work out what really matters in life.Please enjoy this conversation with the beautiful Tim Baker. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Jordan is an author of the recent book, ‘Where' which is a representation of their passionate, personal and political slam poem they wrote at the young age of 14 years-old, based around the question, ‘Where are you from?' This poem was written as a way to connect with people who ask these questions and let them know that they are just human. What I personally love about this conversation is Jordan's interesting outlook and perspective. They share vulnerably their experience of growing up as an African-American-Greek-Australian, and their frustration of being asked ‘where are they from' as a cover for ‘why don't you look like me'. We talk about their experience of being ‘othered', of lacking a sense of belonging and what developing a relationship with themselves looks like by unlearning the messaging of society.Please enjoy this conversation with the lovely Jordan Collins. #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

She shares techniques that have worked for her in overcoming negative thoughts that do go as deep as suicide ideation and personally one of my favourites is in the power of pause, and understanding not every thought you have needs to be met with action.

We speak about very intimate moments for Dr Green that inspire her to reflect on what is important in life, particularly around the concepts of presence and meaning, and also in the realm of being able to say sorry and forgive.

Eric is a retired family therapist, now regarded as America's foremost creativity coach. He is a developer of a philosophy of life called Kirism and is the author of over 50 books, including ‘Lighting The Way', ‘Redesign Your Mind' and ‘Fearless Creating'. What I personally love about this conversation is our depth of exploration into meaning and purpose. I feel meaning and purpose are both experiences that are necessary for a fulfilling life, but are indeed experiences that we don't always feel in touch with. So it is in this conversation that I really get Eric to be specific about how we can become more informed and take action. We also explore creativity, and discuss some strategies that I can say personally are integrating as we speak into my own life on how to show up, deliver and maintain consistency in that. Please enjoy this conversation with the lovely Eric.CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH ERICWebsite | https://ericmaisel.com #jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Hello beautiful people Check out the To Be Human Book List | https://amzn.to/3KCdRaX  On today's podcast we have the wonderful Nick Butter. Nick is an endurance athlete, motivational speaker and ultramarathon runner; best known for being the first person to run a marathon in every country being 196 marathons in 674 days covered in his book, ‘Running The World'. Most recently Nick became the fastest person to run around the coast of Britain after completing 200 marathons in an incredible 128 days! All up Nick holds 8 world records with 2 world firsts.What I personally love about this conversation is Nick's beautiful humility. Nick has been on a lot of podcasts in his time, so I thought to take this opportunity to get to know him personally on a deeper level. The trajectory of Nick's life changed when he was told by a now good friend, Kevin Webber, who appeared on episode 5 of the To Be Human podcast and has terminal prostate cancer, to not ‘wait for a diagnosis'. This spurred a new path for Nick that took him into a new depth of experience of endurance and contribution. We speak intimately about the effects these experiences have had on Nick, through witnessing confronting poverty, to understanding the power of human connection, to recently exploring the idea of how to balance relationships with the commitment for high achievement. Nick has an openness about him and his story that is certainly endearing and inspiring. Please enjoy this conversation with Nick Butter.CONNECT WITH JENNAH-LOUISEMindset Coaching | https://www.jennahlouise.com.auInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/jennah_louiseCONNECT WITH NICKInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/nickbutterrun Website | https://www.nickbutter.com Book: Running The World | https://amzn.to/3jHUlhh#jennahlouise #tobehumanpodcast

Hello beautiful people Check out the To Be Human Book List | https://amzn.to/3KCdRaX On today's podcast we have the beautiful Emma Jane. Emma is an academic based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney whose research interests are quite eclectic ranging from sex and gender, to technology facilitated violence. Her research has been presented to the Australian Human Rights Commission and Workplace Gender Equality Agency. Emma is also an author having written her most recent book, being her eleventh book, ‘Diagnosis Normal'; which shares about the combined impact of sexual abuse, mental illness and neurodivergence. What I personally love about this conversation is Emma's passion to, in her words, break the toxic silence surrounding sexual violence and mental illness; that we need to hear more unpretty stories. Emma is an academic, which traditionally can come with a set of standards, I would say in separating the academic from the person behind the academia. However it is in Emma's recent book and in this episode, that Emma courageously steps outside tradition and into the necessity of bringing together her research with her own story. Living in shame that is fuelled by silence can be terribly lonely, and it is Emma's drive to not only encourage others to share their story, but more importantly to have people to listen, to really listen, that certainly makes this episode an important element in moving forward.Please enjoy this lovely conversation with Emma.
