Journalist, author and theologian, Stan Grant on responding to injustice with grace and love.In a decades-long career as a journalist and foreign correspondent, Stan Grant saw some of the worst that humanity is capable of. It took its toll on him. And as a Wiradjuri man he has had to wrestle with identity, belonging, and who we all are in 21st century Australia. He went through a period of angst and anger, and he would say, some bitterness, as he and his people confronted injustice, prejudice and a history of oppression, violence and dispossession.But through a serious spiritual re-awakening, Grant has found a different way to be. On Life & Faith he describes the shape of that spiritual life and the surprising ways it has impacted him and how he sees the world and his place in it. Turning his back on anger, Grant outlines his renewed motivation for meeting hate with love and grace.His latest book, Murriyang: song of time, is a poetic account of his life and that of his family and his people, and offers a vision of the healing balm of Christian faith that has inspired Grant to see himself, other people and the creation itself, in a new light.

In this episode, we explore the transformative concept of "imperfect consistency" - prioritising the act of doing rather than the pursuit of perfection. We contrast perfect inconsistency (waiting for ideal conditions) with imperfect consistency (showing up regularly regardless of conditions) and examine how this approach can decrease your inner critic while building confidence. The episode unpacks the neuroscience behind consistent action, revealing how regular practice rewires your brain more effectively than occasional perfect performance. We provide science-backed applications for both personal and professional contexts, from exercise and learning to project management and leadership communication. Finally, we offer five practical, research-supported strategies to help you implement imperfect consistency in your own life, empowering you to feel successful before you begin rather than waiting until after you've achieved perfection.Resources:https://drjobraid.comwww.instagram.com/burnoutrecoverydrwww.linkedin.com/in/drjobraid I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.

*Content Warning: This episode of Doin' Time may contain audio images of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have died, and discussion of Deaths in Custody.This special Doin' Time program is a dedication and tribute to the much loved and honourable Uncle Ray Jackson, born 27 March, 1941 and died on April 23 2015. He was a Wiradjuri warrior who dedicated his life to fighting for justice and human rights for Aboriginal people, and much more. Our first Tribute to Ray is Joseph Pugliese longtime activist and much loved guest on Doin Time, and close friend of Uncle Ray Jackson.  We will hear from his loved ones throughout the show.We will also interview Carolyn Jackson daughter of Uncle Ray. She has been a much loved part of the show since 2015 when her father passed away. Ray is missed by Carolyn, and her beautiful family.Lastly, we will bring you an interview with Rob from Monday Breakfast. On Saturday the 26th of April around 450 activists attended a counterprotest in the name of trans liberation. The action was countering the reactionary 'WOMEN WILL SPEAK' rally, organised by TERFs and white nationalists. A similar event held last year by the Women's Action Group, an organisation dedicated to spouting transphobia, was attended by members of the National Socialist Network. A group of trans and queer people, antifascists, and other allies disrupted Saturday's action by making noise and dancing to music in numbers vastly higher than that of the transphobic rally. Police set up a designated area during the day and used these powers to force activists, many of whom are disabled, to remove their masks before searching them with a wand. VicPol later used brutal force against protestors who were chanting about Victoria Police's murder of Somali man Abdifatah Ahmed in Footscray two weeks ago.  Doin' Time spoke to Rob Harrison, a proud non-binary, transgender and queer person, who attended the rally and witnessed the police violence. They are a co-host of the Monday Breakfast show at 3CR Community Radio. I invited Rob on to the show today because Uncle Ray was very committed to fighting police powers, and always stood in solidarity with our trans siblings. Rob gave an eyewitness account of the rally, and the police brutality.

Today I have the immense privilege of speaking with Bangarra Dance Theatre's James Boyd. James is a proud Aboriginal man with connections to the Kunja and Muruwari people of southwest Queensland. Born on Wiradjuri country in Orange, as a little boy, James wasn't quick to use his words, and had delayed speech. James's mum and dad then began to notice other things—James kept getting bruises. At just five years of age, James was diagnosed with Leukemia. In this most incredible episode, James shares his journey through cancer, the lows of hospital life, and also the highs when James was introduced to movement and music therapy as part of his recovery. And with that, he was introduced to dance. James then shares how he successfully auditioned for the Hunter School of the Performing Arts, and then how his world opened up at NAISDA Dance College. James then shares how, with his Leukemia is in remission, what it was like to receive a call from Frances Rings, the artistic director of Bangarra Dance Theatre. And then his decision to move to Sydney, which not only changed the course of his love life, but also defined his career.James continues to dance with Bangarra Dance Theatre, sharing the joy of dance across Australia and the world. For Bangarra performance times and tickets, head to bangarra.com.au and to follow all of James's adventures, you can find him on Instagram @jamesrossboyd. Talking Pointes is produced on the lands of the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation, to whom we pay our greatest respects.

In this episode, Dr. Jo Braid interviews Dr. Ettie Ben-Shabat, a physiotherapist specializing in neurological rehabilitation with expertise in neuro-imaging. Dr. Ben-Shabat emphasizes that when rehabilitation clinicians have a deep understanding of neurological imaging, it significantly enhances their ability to tailor treatments effectively and efficiently. This knowledge allows clinicians to pinpoint the exact brain areas affected, leading to more precise and targeted therapies, ultimately reducing uncertainty and stress in their practice. Furthermore, it boosts clinicians' confidence and job satisfaction by enabling them to make informed decisions and provide clearer guidance to patients and their families, thereby mitigating burnout and improving patient care outcomes.Resources:https://drjobraid.comhttps://brainrehabilitation.org/https://brainrehabilitation.org/about-ettie-ben-shabat/ Community Recognition Award by local member Phil Donato MP: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/permalink?id=HANSARD-1323879322-143033 I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations.
