Hello Earthlings! A vague title for a LOADED topic! In this episode, I discuss what dating and relationships both romantic or platonic are like on the healing journey.  Past and current relationships are an amazing tool for self development as it holds GOLD information on the areas in which you would benefit from working on. I provide a little tool in the beginning to help identify this. Lastly, I do discuss letting go of people as it is extremely common on the healing/spiritual journey with some comforting words as this is a part of the journey that can be challenging and also a little lonely! Enjoy!

Hello Earthlings, It's been a while since my last episode (4 months to be exact). In fact, I've only published 3 episodes in the last 8 months! And, after 50-odd conversations with other people about the times in their life that dramatically shaped them and the way they see they world, I have somehow manifested my own experience; my own 'Overview Effect' moment that has changed not only how I see the world, but how I see myself. In this episode I share what my journey to discovery has been over the last 6-9 months, and where the podcast heads to next. I'd love to hear your feedback. Send me a message on instagram and of course, if you're liking it, please share the show and and leave a review. We're back baby!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello Earthlings! It's good to be back. It's been 6 weeks since the last episode, due to the catastrophic flooding that has taken place here in the Northern Rivers, on Bundjalung Country, as well as up and down the east coast of Australia. And look, you've seen the news, you've seen the photos, you've heard the stories... it's been absolutely devastating… AND… at the same time it has been so incredible to see the community connection that has come from it. In lieu of any centralised response, and after 2 years of separation, isolation, classification, and segregation, we have seen the community completely self organise and support one another out of the goodness of their hearts. There's been beauty in the chaos My guest in today's episode is the ever-dynamic Founder and CEO of Superfeast, Mason Taylor Usually I have a ‘skeleton' of where I'd like these conversations to go, but knowing Mason's tendencies I went into this one completely unstructured, and I LOVED where it went Mason starts by sharing his background to Daoist herbalism and how, through observing and understanding these principles, he gained a context for seeing the world in a more connected way We then go on to talk about a WIDE range of topics including the downsides of societal reductionist thinking; our experiences getting drawn into ideological pitfalls and becoming missionaries in the realms of health, diet, politics, religion; the importance of comedy in connecting us through a universal language but also in questioning the status quo; and so much more. You're going to love it And whilst we don't really talk about Superfeast, I highly recommend you check them out. They have a tonne of great online articles, podcasts, and of course incredible mushroom and tonic herb blends which I personally use and have noticed incredible change in my energy since taking them. (I have completely replaced my coffee addiction with the JING herbal blend and my energy levels have never been higher) Superfeast are offering 10% off if you use the code OVERVIEW in the checkout That's it for the intro, please enjoy this one, with Mason Taylor… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
