Dalee Ella is an Artist exploring themes of interconnection, land based relating and relationship. She lives and works on Bandjalang country in Northern NSW, Australia. Dalee was my first guest on this segment back in November 2022- a time when she felt hugely connected to the earth and her garden which was inspiring her creativity and her work. She was excited to be beginning a collaboration with Clarey from Gwyllem Clothing (now Storyline).This conversation is a full circle moment where Dalee reflects on her journey over the past 2 years, from launching her clothing line with Clarey, taking their collections on the road, experiencing a period of huge growth which culminated in a time of emotional and physical burn out.Dalee shares the shifts in their business, her personal life and her health that were necessary as they grappled with a frenzy of creativity alongside unrealistic deadlines and an inherently flawed system that doesn't make space for the holistic needs and wellbeing of any human.We speak about Dalee's transition into perimenopause and the impact this transformation had on her work, her relationships and her health.And we have the most beautiful conversation about two of my favourite adaptogens- Withania and Tulsi.**SHOW  NOTES**Dalee mentions Holistic Business planning as a method for maintaining suitability in business- the book she referenced is here**CONNECT**You can connect with Dalee through her Substack community here  and watch her creative process, and follow along with her slow build on their intentional community.You can buy Dalee Ella clothing through her collaboration with Clarey as Slow Fashion Australia hereConnect with Dalee via her new website soon hereYou can connect with JESS via instagram and facebook here and here,  join her newsletter community here, buy her handmade herbal products here or book an appointment here.**BUY ME A CUPPA**If you liked the episode and want more, a cuppa fuels my work and time, which is given for free.

In this episode, Debbie looks at the SDA data for the Byron and Tweed areas of the northern NSW coast.For a couple of years, we have been aware of the undersupply of quality SDA homes in the area. Given the challenges of developing SDA in the Tweed and Byron regions, primarily the cost and availability of suitable land and sites, it's unsurprising that so few new SDA homes have come to the market. There are only 30 New-Build homes and 11 properties (83 places in total) in the pipeline for the entire Richmond-Tweed SA4. However, the majority of enrolled SDA properties are older style Legacy and Basic homes that do not meet SDA design guidelines and are not fit-for-purpose.Listen on to find out more...------------------------------------------------------LEAVE US A GOOGLE REVIEW!SDA ADVISORY SERVICEShttps://www.sdaadvisory.com.auSDA RESEARCH REPORTShttps://ndis.property/reportsEBOOKS:www.robustdesign.com.auwww.highphysicalsupport.com.auwww.improvedliveability.com.auwww.fullyaccessible.com.auSend us a textNDIS PROPERTY AUSTRALIA:Our team conducts thorough research on Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) and provides appropriate technical advice through premium and strategy-based solutions.

In todays episode, Tatiana interiews Dawn Whitten who is a naturopath, herbalist, researcher, teacher and mentor on Bundjalung country in Northern NSW. She is one of the co-owners of Gould's pharmacy for the past 18 years and has a well grounded approach to blending the academic realms with the traditional practices. In this episode, Dawn shares some of her journey with Goulds, and what led her to want to become a lactation expert and assist families in pregnancy and postpartum. She shares her journey of writing her thesis on herb-drug interactions and also shares her perspective about science and tradition not being so different from one another. We discuss hopes and dreams for the future of herbal education in Australia and also discuss the important of herbalists knowing where their medicine comes from. There is also a strong emphasis on using fresh vital herb material in herbal preparations and some of the potential pitfalls of commercially manufactured tablets and capsules. Dawn really blends together the academic realms of herbal medicine with a down to Earth approach and a deep knowing of the plants. It is wonderful to have people on the show with such a balanced perspective and wisdom to offer.

Are you looking for the current cost of renovating or building a new house in Brisbane, South East Qld or Northern NSW, Australia in 2024? In this episode you'll find out the current square meter rates for new custom construction. I talk to a building cost estimator and find out the cost of house construction in 2024 and what's forecast to happen in 2025.If this is your first episode, I recommend you go back and listen from the beginning of the season because everything builds on the episode before. At the very least, please listen to Episode 4. What are square metre rates? so you understand what they are and most importantly, when they're used by inexperienced people, they can lead to very inaccurate results!The information covered in this episode on current square metre rates is for education only.I'll be talking to building cost estimator David Knight from Total Estimating Services in Brisbane.INTERVIEW QUESTIONS00:00 Introduction01:30 How much does it cost to renovate or build a new house in Brisbane in 2024?05:55 What are square metre rates?07:23 What is the difference in build quality between lower and higher cost houses?12:07 How much does it cost to renovate or build a new house in South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales in 2024?14:15 What influences are affecting building costs?16:02 Can you suggest any ways to keep costs down?20:43 What materials have increased in cost in recent times?21:33 Is it more cost effective to renovate, or demolish and build a new house?24:35 How much cost do environmental initiatives add: Passiv Haus, double glazing, three phase power, solar ? 25:22 Are you seeing more environmental initiatives incorporated in houses in 2024?27:27 What cost escalation are you expecting into 2025?30:01 Key Points SummaryKEY POINTS SUMMARYWe covered so much information in this episode, but I just want to draw your attention to three main points.1. The first point was the wide range of costs to build custom, mid-range quality houses in the current market, which varied from around $3,000 up to over $6,000 per square metre.I predominantly work on residential renovations two storeys in inner Brisbane, which is quite sloped. So the fact that you could build on a flat block, a single story building for so much less, was quite a surprise to me.It was important to note what did make those renovations in inner Brisbane to older houses so much more expensive that everything is custom. Every bit of timber has to be custom cut. Everything has to fit in unusual sizes for houses out of square and that's what adds to those prices compared to the new single level building on a flat site.2. The second point to make is that there's no easy way to get costs down. There's never one or two big items that you can just take out of a job and save those costs. Costs are always spread across the entire project, so you really have to go through everything and take out little bits through the entire job.A better way to deal with this is when you're designing and as you go through and you choose each item, make sure you choose an item that's within your...

We have had a big week here at On The Road Radio, the big drive from Northern NSW to Adelaide was an adventure. An early start out at Victoria Park this morning to watch the Camp Quality Convoy for Kids Adelaide. We were then invited to attend the WiTA BP 2024 Toots Awards where we were nominated for the NHVR Safety Award and were honoured to bring the award home. We will talk more about our day on the show tonight, live on location in Adelaide, where CJ will join us live. Sludge surprised us all on the show tonight and called in live. Great talking with you Sludge, a legend of the industry

Big week at Talk Birdie To Me HQ, plenty to discuss, and Mark is excited to be playing one of Nick's fave courses this week, Cathedral.We chat Ripper GC's LIV win in Singapore, second in a row for the Aussies. Hopeless last year, on fire this year, says Nick. The hopeless team now in LIV is the Majesticks. Nick and Mark discuss playing Sentosa - water always a factor. And we kick around how many majors Brooks Koepka will end up winning. Currently on 5, Nick & Mark reckon by the end of his career he'll have 8.Nick mentions the doco 'Duel in the Sun', Mark says that if you haven't seen it you are banned from listening to the pod until you do. And he wants to know what you think of it. Onto TPC Craig Ranch. Mark says it looked poor on TV, he's not a fan. Nick agrees. This inspires Nick's Top 5 for later in the show: his Top 5 worst courses on tour.Last week we discussed the Golf Digest Top 100 list, which Mark was unhappy about - specifically Cape Wickham being named #1. Today he doubles down saying that Cape Wickham is not even close to #1, and looks at the criteria used by Golf Digest. Mark feels it's too complex, needs to be simplified, and because of the spectacular outlook at Cape Wickham, that is why it got the nod. Nick wonders how consistently playable Cape Wickham is, given the winds on the island.On Thursday this week we'll have a bonus pod with Steve Keipert of Golf Digest to discuss the Top 100 list with him, get his rationale for the rankings, and give him an opportunity to respond to Marks comments last week.We chat about LIV Adelaide and how much it cost to put on. Following last weeks pod, Mark had a call from his mate James who works for LIV and says that he believes Mark's inside info on a couple of players leaving LIV to be incorrect. We'll get James on for a bonus pod at some point and get his thoughts.Top 5 from Nick on the worst courses on the PGA and European tours. Ouch!Lots of feedback, a few whacks this week, but we don't shy from that we're happy to cop a whack. We also realise we have a lack of prizes, and Mark has the idea to give away copies of his DVD which strangely didn't sell out - the ironically titled '87 ways to make golf simple'. And we need your input for pod listener Rob - what are the 'must play' courses for him in Northern NSW. Let us know and we'll read them out next week.Huge week in the PING global results from Nick, and Marks masterclass for watchMynumbers is on a flaw he discovered in his game last week.A huge thanks to our Talk Birdie partners:PING, they'll help you play your best, you can see your local golf shop or professional for a PING club fitting;the new watchMynumbers app, the most powerful data based golf app in the world, download from the App Store ;& the Golf Clearance Outlet, great prices on the best gear.

Recorded in the Octagong from the Live In Flow 'ReConnected' 5 day retreat, Northern NSW, Australia. https://www.liveinflow.co/ Guy Lawrence and Matt Omo discuss the pitfalls and solutions of embarking on a spiritual journey. They explore the importance of demystifying spirituality and living authentically. The pitfalls include chasing experiences, spiritual bypassing, attachment to tools, and being a consumer of knowledge without taking action. The solutions involve regular practice, community and connection, finding a good mentor, and having fun. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-nurturing, growth, and embracing the present moment. 00:00 Introduction 02:55 Demystifying Spirituality 06:14 Pitfall: Chasing the Experience 09:04 Pitfall: Spiritual Bypass 11:52P itfall: Attached to the Tools 16:10 Pitfall: Consumer of Knowledge, but not Action 19:55 Solution: Community and Connection 20:54 Solution: Get a Good Mentor 28:11 Solution: Have Fun 30:00 Conclusion

I've been doing a bunch of Substack meetups around Australia over the past few weeks (the Sydney and Northern NSW ones are happening in March and you can register in the Substack post here). And several people in the community have posed some related questions to do with balancing where the world is at with your need for creative freedom, our own mental health, our tendency to run from hard topics and emotions. Yes, we MUST create and make art in these difficult, “liminal” times. I reference Teju Cole and late 19th-century philosophers to make my case. I also answer: How do you stay sane and be of service? How do I motivate myself out of depression to be of service?I share how I've been navigating things, lying awake many nights in a row, trying to rise to the challenges inherent in these questions.If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" pageFor more such conversations subscribe to my Substack newsletter, it's where I interact the most!Get your copy of my book, This One Wild and Precious LifeLet's connect on Instagram and WeAre8 Hosted on Acast.

John Seed is a 78-year-old world-renowned Australian environmental educator, author, activist, artist and filmmaker. A recipient of the Australian government's Order of Australia medal, John is the founder and director of the Rainforest Information Centre and, since 1979, has been involved in 100s of campaigns and education initiatives that have protected remaining rainforests and helped humanity rethink our relationship with nature. John and his family first came to Australia as Jewish refugees who experienced incredible hardship and devastating loss during the Nazi occupation of Hungary. They went on to create a new life in Australia, where John's mother, Judy Cassab, went on to become one of Australia's most celebrated painters.  John also has an artistic flair, and he and his mother had an exhibition together during the final years of Judy's life. John has had a fascinating and adventurous path in life.After a short career in computing with IBM, John joined the hippy trail, travelling overland through Afghanistan and onto India, where he studied meditation before arriving back in Australia and co-founding an intentional community in Bundjalung Country,  and the Northern Rivers ‘rainbow region' of Northern NSW at Bodhi farm, which still exists to this day. It was here that John found his true calling, or it found him. As you're about to hear, at the time, outside of Indigenous culture, there was little respect or appreciation for the value of rainforests, and they were being destroyed at an alarming rate. John joined locals in blockading the site at Terania Creek and said the experience at the time was as if nature was speaking to him. The protesters succeeded, and John went on to found the Rainforest Information Centre, a pioneering global organisation that has been instrumental in rainforest protection and conversation throughout Latin America, Cambodia, India, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and the South Pacific. His work also helped initiate the creation of the US Rainforest Action Network.John has written and lectured extensively on the concept of deep ecology. With Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming and Professor Arne Naess, he wrote "Thinking Like a Mountain - Towards a Council of All Beings" which has been translated into 12 languages including Korean and Tibetan.In 1987 he co-produced a television documentary, "EARTH FIRST!" for Australian national television about the struggle for the rainforests. In 2003 he spearheaded RIC's endangered species campaign and made the film "On The Brink" with David Attenborough, David Suzuki, Olivia Newton-John and Jack Thompson. You can find that via the Rainforest Information Centre online, as well as lots of other great videos, including one of John in conversation with Ram Dass in 1992.In 2021 – after an arduous and prolonged struggle with life-threatening cancer, John got back in the saddle and jumped straight into action. Some of his campaigning at this time helped lead to Ecuador's Constitutional Court ruling that mining in the Los Cedros Protected Forest is a violation of the constitutional rights of nature and is therefore prohibited in the forest. This has created an important national and worldwide precedent.More recently, John was involved in the Rising Tide blockade of coal ships leaving the world's Largest Coal Port in Newcastle, NSW. 3000 protesters gathered, and John was one of over 100 people in Kayaks arrested as part of a collective stand against Australia's continued investment in fossil fuels.   I should add that John is also an accomplished songwriter and has produced 5 albums of environmental songs, as well as numerous other environmental films.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Aimee Aroha. Aimee is originally from New Zealand, today living in Australia and she is a Wild Mother and Transpersonal Birth Mentor. She generously takes us through her first hospital birth at the young age of 24 and her initiation into motherhood. We then dive into red threads, birth imprinting, rites of passages and women's power in her rites and birth. Aimee continues to share how her life took a turn as she moved from the big city smoke of Sydney into nature in Northern NSW, meeting a new partner and then becoming pregnant again and how this time she made very different choices. She employed an independent home birth midwife for her second pregnancy but ended up birthing before her midwife arrived, and when she became pregnant a third time she decided for a fully wild pregnancy and free birth with just her family.

Hello there, today is an unusual episode because I have left Lyle at home and have a special guest host. I wonder who that could be?? Today my guest host and I will be sharing all about a “girl's” weekend the two of us had in the hinterland of the Byron Shire in the cute little village of Bangalow. Ok ok, I'll tell you who the guest host is - it is Mikaela from Easy Family Adventures who is actually my beautiful daughter – Miki. We try and have a mother-daughter weekend once a year together, but it has been a little difficult the last couple years. We chose Bangalow for our weekend for quite a few reasons – which we share in the podcast and I'm sure you will agree it was a great decision. We went on adventures into national parks, on very narrow windy roads to the top of a 100m gorge and waterfall. We explored the local village and many of the cafes, bars and restaurants and the famous Bangalow markets. It is a stunning part of NSW and only 15 minutes from the famous Byron Bay – so there is a lot to share. Stay listening to the end to hear where you can find out all about Mikaela's Easy Family Adventures and also hear her advice about the best places to go in the area if you have kids. Oh, and also, find out who or what is Saint Kevin and why we got a bit over seeing Saint Kevin several times a day.  I hope you enjoy this episode all about our fun girl's weekend – sorry Lyle – I'll let you back on the next episode.
