Podcasts about i think you

Slightly updated with a couple of "I Think You'll Find"s that weren't in the original episodic release, here is a chance to digest a whole three hours (nearly) of daft Dalek action with the delightful Darrell MacLaine in celebratory mode as he and your host Toby Hadoke try to identify Aridians, wonder why Columbo is on the Empire State Building, encounter some dubious baby based "comedy" on the Marie (Mary?) Celeste and eventually end up in London 1965. And Darrell knows a song about that. 

How do you answer life's 3 big questions--first posed on this podcast in episode 018 by coroner Rob Ryg: Where did we come from, what's this life for, and what happens next? My guest in this episode, Natalie Niksa, reveals her answers to the Big Three. And in doing so, she challenges all of us to consider our own answers to those questions. Natalie's answers are far from conventional, and therein lies some of the gold in this episode. When we take time to view the world through someone else's eyes, we invite their perspective to challenge and change our own. And that, my friends, is a good thing.  There's way more to Natalie's story than we could ever hope to cover in one episode. And it is a WILD story. But we touched down in some of the more significant chapters of her story to see what they meant to Natalie and what they could mean to us as we continue to write our own stories. You will see the theme of Death and Rebirth appear and reappear throughout.    Meet Natalie Natalie, her husband, Jon, and their son, Smith, live in Napa, CA, where Natalie and Jon own La Saison--at face value a world-class catering and food provisions company that they started in 2007. But when you look just a little deeper, you find that La Saison is really more like a vehicle through which Natalie and Jon bring their own brand of beauty into the world to enrich others and fulfill their unique purposes. In other words, it's about way more than the food. And a more recent addition to their menu is personal life guidance via the framework of Human Design, facilitated by Natalie. I'll provide contact info in the full shownotes for this episode for those of you who want to connect with Natalie and learn more about La Saison.  BTW, La Saison means “the season”--to live in the present and allow life to unfold, instead of resisting it. And you'll see this orientation to life bubble up everywhere in my conversation with Natalie.    Close Encounters with Mortality The entry point into our conversation was a discussion of two encounters Natalie had with Mortality, separated by 16 years. First, at just seven months old, Natalie stopped breathing and turned blue due to (of all things) an ear infection. Her dad, then in medical residency, scooped her up and ran across the street to the hospital, administering mouth-to-mouth the whole way.  Then, at 17, Natalie was literally run over by a truck on a bike ride with her brother. Her “whole left side was broken,” and she had major head injuries. Remarkably, on this occasion, too, her dad was first on the scene to assess the situation and begin treatment.    Connecting Dots in Hindsight Natalie finds meaning in those two encounters with Mortality through the lens of hindsight. “I was always one foot in and one foot out,” Natalie says--unsure on some deep level if she could handle “humanness.” But her encounter with Mortality at 17 came after a fundamentally transformative moment on an expedition in the snowy mountains of Colorado. On that expedition, in one magical moment of stillness, Natalie became aware that “this is all temporary.” When she returned home, she began to slip into her old pre-epiphany ways. The run-in with the truck shook her out of that, though, and two months without the ability to walk literally stopped her in her tracks and allowed the changes she experienced in Colorado to become more fully integrated within her.  From that second near-death experience onward, Natalie has been all-in.    Some Key Takeaways from Natalie's Story Each of us is a unique puzzle piece in the huge jigsaw puzzle of humanity.  Self-discovery is perhaps the most important job each of us has because each of us has a specific spot to fill in the puzzle of humanity and a specific role to play. Commit to a lifelong practice of self-discovery. When you're on the path that you're meant to be on, magical things happen. We tend to get off-course when we are seeing the dangling carrot or shiny object of someone else's life that's not our own path. Our own path will always keep us feeling complete.  To hear our inner voice--the voice that whispers the truth of our existence to us and sets us on our unique path--we have to “create time and space to be with ourselves.” Until we're in a position of really being able to take care of ourselves, we really are not ready to be in service to others.   And more... There's so much meat on the bone of this episode. Tune in to the full episode for the full impact.    What About You? Our unique stories and our unique purposes in the world are inseparable. Natalie's story is another demonstration of that truth.  How well do you know your own story? I mean, really KNOW your story, like you know your best friend, your spouse, or your significant other? You may be able to identify the dots on your timeline, but some of those dots from the past are wreaking havoc in your present and blocking you from the future you could have because you don't yet know them intimately. And often, it's because they feel like enemies to be held at arm's length rather than friends to be embraced. Until we embrace them, they will remain enemies indeed--standing defiantly if not secretly between us and our full potential. Natalie's story landed differently for each one of you listening. That's awesome. It's part of the mystery of stories--that one story can affect so many people so differently and in just the way each person needed. And, I hope this episode has also affected each of you in one shared way: I hope Natalie's story has encouraged you to become even more intimately acquainted with your own Story so that, like Natalie, you can fulfill even more of your potential in the world--for your own enjoyment and the world's benefit.  Natalie reminded me of this quote from Carl Jung in the days leading up to our recorded conversation, and it's a perfect bow to tie on this episode:  "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."    I Can Help We won't fully understand our story without the compassionate, curious support of other people. They see our Story and us within it in ways that we simply can't. I can be a compassionate, curious partner for you, helping you to become more intimately acquainted with your amazing story so it can inhibit you less and empower you even more moving forward. What are you capable of when you're more completely you?? That's very much worth finding out.  Connect with me on Facebook, Instagram or  LinkedIn, visit my website, or email me. Remember, you ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet.

Are you healthy? How do you know?  In this episode, my guest Penney Megginson helps us redefine health and wholeness--from the inside out.    Introducing Penney Megginson I met Penney when she invited me to be on her podcast, Penney for Your Thoughts, a show about how your thoughts and mindset affect your health, happiness, and performance. Preliminary conversations and my own cyber-sleuthing quickly piqued my curiosity about Penney's story. It was clear that an unwelcome and unexpected encounter with Mortality had profoundly altered her relationship to health, happiness, and performance. That in fact it had profoundly altered her relationship to Life itself. And I wanted to know more.  So, I was thrilled when Penney accepted my invitation to be a guest on this show. Her story gives us insight into how we can be more aware, proactive, and meaningfully involved in the lives of those we love today--before it's too late. Penney's story also shows just how powerfully our Stories influence the way we live out our purpose in the world. In fact, as I've said many times before, I believe that our Stories and our unique purpose in the world are inseparable.   Penney is an American living in Switzerland with her husband and two kids. Early in career, she focused on exercise physiology, but then began adding other specialties to her toolbag to help others achieve their peak mind and body performance--including physiotherapy, pilates, yoga, integrative nutrition health coaching, EFT, and NLP. Her encounter with Mortality further focused and accelerated her development. And this intense evolutionary energy has made her an impressively well-rounded practitioner supporting whole-person health and wellness for her clients. Today, her Story, her innate gifting, and her accumulated expertise have converged to produce the Megginson Method, a mind-training system designed to help you overcome the core reasons behind your bad habits, cravings, and self-sabotaging behaviour.    Two Chapters, One Story We built our conversation on the scaffolding of two statements I found in Penney’s bio online, each of which served as entry points into pivotal moments in her Story. The first statement was this: “That was the moment that I realised that it isn’t enough to just be content. It’s really about a balance of your inner state and physical well-being.” I asked Penney to share what was going on in her life that led to that moment. And Penney shared the story of her dad’s untimely death from a heart attack--doubly sad because he died just before the birth of Penney’s first child. Key bits of this part of the conversation include: Penney’s awareness that she “should” (her word) have done more to help her dad pursue better health. For a time it was a genuine regret.  We chewed on what she might have done differently and what the rest of us can do today who realize that either we or someone we love could benefit from improving our health.  This experience greatly expanded Penney’s definition of “health” and led her to begin working from the inside-out with clients.  Penney riffed on the nature of “stuckness” and how the key is first to take full responsibility for it and for ourselves. (I didn’t plan for all of these recent episodes to hit on the stuckness idea this much, I swear! But I’m trusting that there’s a good purpose behind it.) We compared the American and European mindsets about “exercise”--acknowledging that Europeans embrace more of a “culture of movement” while Americans “work out.” Americans get in the car to sit in traffic on the way to the gym, where we’ll run on a treadmill. Europeans find that ironic and would rather walk into town or go for a bike ride. The lines are much blurrier for Europeans between exercise and the rest of life because movement is simply more a part of their lives. I found this part especially interesting and a good wake-up call for we Americans--to slow our roll, so to speak, and break down the rigid walls between “exercise” and the rest of life.  Whatever you're wanting from the other person in a relationship, give it to them 10x, because whatever you're giving to them is going to bounce back to you.  Often, we throw ourselves into exercise in an attempt to avoid being alone with our thoughts and reflecting on how we’re really doing.  That discussion gobbled up most of the conversation. But we hit on the second statement from her bio briefly before landing the plane: “It was then that I finally understood why so many people never achieve their goals and simply settle.” Penney explained that in the midst of training hard for a big ski touring race, she tore her ACL one day while skiing. She was so discouraged, and was tempted to throw in the towel. But she rallied, rehabbed the knee, and came back to compete in the race a couple years later. Key bits of this part of the conversation include: Deeper empathy gained for her clients, who often come to her feeling desperate and somewhat hopeless that they’ll be able to make the changes that they want and need to make. She knows better now how big of an “ask” it can be of people who have a big health hill to climb.  The power of choice in those moments of discouragement and defeat.  The power of a compelling “why” to find the will to move forward.  This part of her story further focused and fueled the way she lives out her purpose in the world today.  Today, Penney focuses less on “fitness” and much more on whole health and wellness with her clients--creating plans specific to each person’s needs and objectives and built to be do-able and sustainable.    What About You? The good news about other people's stories it that the same story can mean something different to each person that hears it. Maybe Penney's story helped you gain a little bit different perspective on your own health and wellness journey. Maybe it motivated you to get even more meaningfully involved in the life of someone you love before it's too late. Maybe, it even helped you see how your own Story is pointing you to your unique purpose in the world. Any of those takeaways would be be a huge win.  No matter what insights you had, though, they'll never fulfill their potential to create transformation in your life if you don't apply Action to them. What can you do today to insure that you're not the guy or gal who has an inspirational moment...only to realize a few weeks from now that that's ALL it was? All it takes is the commitment to do ONE THING TODAY. Don't wait to take that first step. Call the person who came to mind. Contact Penney to start upgrading your own mindset to achieve a greater level of whole-person health and wellness. Instead of banging out a few more emails, close the laptop and go for a walk with your significant other. Whatever you do, don't do nothing. Your life and the lives of those you love are simply too valuable and too important. By doing just one thing today, you become a little bit more of the person you were made to be and get a little closer to living the life you were uniquely made to live.  Remember, you ARE going to die. But you're not dead yet. So get after it!   Let’s Connect If this episode helped you, I'd love to know.
