shebirths.com.au Unapologetic Power With Kemi Nekvapil How to own your power in birth and life as a woman. Kemi Nekvapil is one of Australia's leading credentialed coaches for female executives and entrepreneurs, author of two books and a highly sought-after international speaker. Her first book ‘The Gift Of Asking: A woman's guide to owning her wants and needs without guilt' is a wonderful handbook for each of us. But today we discuss her latest publication ‘Power: A woman's guide to living and leading without apology', that I discovered via Elizabeth Gilbert's book club. Kemi has studied leadership and purpose at The Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan and trained with Dr Brené Brown to become a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator. She is a powerful advocate for connected, value-based living. You can discover more and follow her on Instagram @keminekvapil and via her site https://www.keminekvapil.com/ I am not a huge fan of ‘how to' books but Power is so much more. Filled with anecdotes and a personal narrative, it is so easy to read and enjoy. Kemi gave me a huge insight into the challenges of living as a minority and made me deeply aware of my white privilege. We talk about choosing where to birth and where power goes in the birthing room. She shares her two birth journey's and the work she did in preparation to wholeness and readiness. We talk about how we disappear by being a “good girl” and “a good wife”, the journey of transitioning from maiden to mother, and how she knew in her soul she wanted to mother her children in a different way. I hope you enjoy this conversation. Nadine xx shebirths.com.au Links Connect with Kemi at @keminekvapil + https://www.keminekvapil.com/ Preparing for birth?

“We can all have this common goal and always ask ourselves, ‘What is it I'm doing? Is it contributing to bringing more happiness and wellbeing to all? Or is it degrading happiness and wellbeing?’ “If we all had this very simple North star...then it's a relatively simple way to have a compass to guide our actions.” — Dr. Ha Vinh Tho, Founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing After helping to create the Gross National Happiness program in the small country of Bhutan, Dr. Ha Vinh Tho was determined to find out. On this week’s episode of Leading with Genuine Care, Rob chats with Dr. Tho about why businesses that focus on happiness and fulfillment as much as profit can transform not just individual companies, but also our economy, government, and our society as a whole. Dr. Tho is the founder of the Eurasia Learning Institute for Happiness and Wellbeing and former Director of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan. He’s  also a Buddhist teacher in the Vietnamese Zen tradition, was ordained by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, and a Ph.D. in Psychology and Education from Geneva University. Listen in as he discusses what it means to live a meaningful life and why compassion is more essential than ever during today’s tumultuous times. In this episode, you’ll also learn: Why entrepreneurs are specially equipped to be a force for good How compassion boosts employee engagement Why it is so important to lead with care and compassion How to be more compassionate towards others What compassionate listening is Why healthy, compassionate dialogue can heal rifts What the Gross National Happiness (GNH) is If GNH could be more critical than GDP Tho’s insights on today’s turmoil in the U.S. Why we should show compassion to both victims and perpetrators Tho’s experience at the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan What three components lead to a truly happy life Why strong relationships create more meaning How nature factors into our happiness Why we need to consider both IQ and EQ And SO much more!

In this heart-opening episode, Laura Poole is in conversation with entrepreneur, kindness advocate and woman of the heart, Sophie Weldon. Sophie is the Founder and Managing Director of Humankind Enterprises - a social enterprise which uses the ancient process of storytelling and the modern innovation of StoryTech and StoryData to help create a world that is more connected, inclusive and empathetic.In this episode, Laura wanted to go on a journey with Sophie, exploring a topic that is close to both their hearts – the creation and participation in a new normal. They start off hearing about Sophie’s time in Bhutan learning about Gross National Happiness, then dive in to core values as the foundation for change, healing our current systems, and ask what we could create as humans if we came to the process consciously, with deep radical empathy. They also dive into the Vedic perspective on governance, politics, and ask the question is it really possible to create a social system based on wellbeing, kindness and belonging?Show notes...Connect with SophieHumankind Enterprises websiteSophie’s InstagramLinks from the podcastVisit the website of the Gross National Happiness Centre in Bhutan.If you’re curious to learn a bit more about the historical and philosophical underpinnings of Neoliberalism, you can read more in this article published by the Conversation.

We all wish to live a life which is environmentally sustainable, spiritually fulfilling and socially just and harmonious. In order to accomplish this wish we need to de-clutter our lives from material possessions and from psychological baggage. Physical and spiritual Simplicity is a prerequisite for sustainability and personal as well as planetary wellbeing. Satish Kumar has written a new book, Elegant Simplicity, and talks about the art of living well on less stuff and have more joy in our lives. Living simply is to shift from glamour to grace and from consumption to creativity. A former monk and long-term peace and environment activist, Satish has been quietly setting the global agenda for change for over 50 years. He was just nine when he left his family home to join the wandering Jains, and 18 when he decided he could achieve more back in the world, campaigning for land reform in India and working to turn Gandhi’s vision of a renewed India and a peaceful world into reality. Inspired in his early 20s by the example of the British peace activist Bertrand Russell, Satish embarked on an 8,000-mile peace pilgrimage. Carrying no money and depending on the kindness and hospitality of strangers, he and a colleague walked from India to America, via Moscow, London and Paris, to deliver a humble packet of ‘peace tea’ to the leaders of the world’s then four nuclear powers. In 1973 Satish settled in the UK becoming the editor of Resurgence magazine, a position he held until 2016, making him the UK’s longest-serving editor of the same magazine. During this time, he has been the guiding spirit behind a number of now internationally respected ecological and educational ventures. He cofounded Schumacher College in Devon, where he is a Visiting Fellow. In his 50th year, Satish undertook another pilgrimage – again carrying no money. This time, he walked 2,000 miles to the holy places of Britain, a venture he describes as a celebration of his love of life and nature. In July 2000 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Education from the University of Plymouth. In July 2001, he received an Honorary Doctorate in Literature from the University of Lancaster, and in the November of that same year, he was presented with the Jamnalal Bajaj International Award for promoting Gandhian values outside India. In 2009 Satish was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws (LLD) by the University of Exeter. In 2013 he was made Doctor of the University by the University of Suffolk. In 2014 Satish was appointed an Oxfam UK Ambassador. Satish is also a member of the Advisory Council of the Gross National Happiness Centre of Bhutan. His autobiography, No Destination, first published by Green Books in 1978, has sold over 50,000 copies. He is also the author of You Are, Therefore I Am: A Declaration of Dependence, The Buddha and the Terrorist, Earth Pilgrim and Soil, Soul, Society. In 2005, Satish was Sue Lawley’s guest on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs. In 2008, as part of BBC2’s Natural World series, he presented a 50-minute documentary from Dartmoor, which was watched by over 3.6 million people. He appears regularly in the printed media and a range of radio programmes including Thought for the Day and Midweek. In recognition of his commitment to animal welfare and compassionate living, he was elected vice-president of the RSPCA. He continues to teach and run workshops on reverential ecology, holistic education and voluntary simplicity and is a much sought-after speaker both in the UK and abroad.
