On our first episode of season three, I'm speaking with the former principal dancer of the Australian Ballet, the much loved Adam Bull. Adam grew up in outer Melbourne and by a stroke of luck, his primary school teacher at his local school suggested he try dance. He did, and it became a love affair that has lasted a lifetime. By the time he was a teenager, he was training under Brian Nolan at Dance World 3 0 1 before joining the Australian Ballet School and then being accepted straight into the Australian Ballet. In this wonderful interview recorded just five days before Adam's final performance in Melbourne. Adam reflects on his career, he speaks of his early life growing up, dancing, joining the company, and of course making principal. But we also talk about more about love, about his onstage relationship with Amber Scott, his thoughts on marriage and what it feels like to dance for the national company for 22 years. Talking Pointes was recorded on traditional lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, Awabakal and Worimi. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country and recognise the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded.

Join SAND co-founders Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo in conversation with Aboriginal elders and authors Uncle Paul Callaghan and Uncle Paul Gordon for a colorful community conversation, “On the Dreaming Path,” where we'll explore some of the profound teachings shared in their latest book. "Uncle" Paul Callaghan is an award-winning author and accomplished speaker. He has qualifications in a very diverse range of disciplines and a PhD in creative practice. He is also an Aboriginal story teller from the land of the Worimi people who has spent many years “out bush” listening and learning. He has life experience in many industries, Aboriginal culture and heritage and Aboriginal community services. "Uncle" Paul Gordon is a Ngemba man. Born in Brewarrina, he grew up on the Barwon River in Northwestern New South Wales, Australia. Since 1983 he has spent most of his time with the Old Men learning about country and lore. Uncle Paul has dedicated his life to teaching and working with communities throughout Australia to support learning through lore and culture. For the past 15 years, he has been leading camps and workshops for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people to reconnect to culture. As a traditional knowledge holder and custodian of Aboriginal lore, he continues to share as part of his obligation to thousands of years of Aboriginal culture. The underpinning foundation of the book is his journey through depression and the role Aboriginal culture, spirituality and philosophy had in not only enabling him to recover, but also empowering him to live life by his truth rather than everybody else's expectations. The book has a number of exercises and models based on his experience aimed at assisting people from all walks of life to build the courage and skills to live a life of purpose, choice and wellbeing. You will find it is a combination of styles including textbook, self help, Aboriginal history, Aboriginal philosophy, Aboriginal spirituality and an autobiography of his journey through depression.

The change of placental position results from the formation of the lower uterine segment, which moves the placenta upwards with the expanding uterus. If there is still evidence of a low-lying placenta then women should be forewarned by their primary community-based midwife that they may be at risk of placenta praevia, advised that this increases the risk of vaginal bleeding and informed about the urgent need for midwifery / medical attention if they have any vaginal bleeding until the diagnosis has been confirmed."

Today we are speaking with the divine Brooke Casson. Brooke Lockett, as she was known throughout her career, grew up in Ballarat and had a dream run to the stage. She was accepted into the Australian Ballet School by the age of 14, and then straight into the company on graduation. In this beautiful and brave interview, Brooke speaks about her career at the Australian Ballet. We speak about promotions, about being the face of the company, the perception of rank and about hard conversations, but we also talk about so much more about new careers, about meeting her husband, becoming a mom. Brooke continues to direct and teach at her Studio in Rose Bay in Sydney.

Today we're speaking with the phenomenal Shaun Parker. Shaun's path to artistic director and choreographer of an internationally renowned contemporary dance company is totally unexpected. Shaun grew up on a farm in Mildura in regional Victoria, but he had a double life in dance, theatre and singing. After finishing high school, Shaun went on to study science at Monash University in Melbourne until a sliding doors moment— Shaun saw a dance rehearsal in a university lecture room, and the rest is history. In this wonderful interview, Shaun talks about dropping out of uni, returning to the studio to train in dance, and about dancing professionally with the likes of Meryl Tankard, Australian Dance Theater and Chunkymove. But Shaun also speaks about a lot more; of his marriage, later identifying as bisexual, about toxic masculinity, and finally about finding his purpose in starting the internationally acclaimed Shaun Parker Company.  We are thrilled to be sponsored by Energetiks.

Today we're speaking with the divine Danielle Rowe. Dani grew up in South Australia, and by 14 she had moved interstate to train [in ballet] under Marie Walton Mann. Within a year of that, she'd been accepted into the Australian Ballet School, and on graduation, she was offered a position with the company, but the accolades didn't stop. Dani rose to principal artist, won the Telstra Ballet Dancer award twice, and represented the Australian Ballet company around the world from London to China. But in a move that defines the superstars trajectory, she wanted more. She left Australia and moved to the US, joining Houston Ballet as a principal artist. Less than a year later, she was offered a contract with a prestigious Netherlands Dance Theater. In this wondrous conversation, Dani and I talk about her career across three continents, how she found choreography, about managing long distance relationships, her want for a family, and ultimately how she became the first female artistic director of Oregon Ballet Theater. We are thrilled to be sponsored by Energetiks.

In this episode, we delve into the narratives of two extraordinary individuals who've navigated the depths of darkness, only to emerge as beacons of strength and resilience. Imbi Pyman, a mother of three, carries with her a lived and living experience of the impact of suicide. Her youngest son endured a devastating trauma at the age of 12, casting a shadow of fear over their lives. Four years ago, Imbi turned to Lifeline for support, she now works passionately with her husband to improve services and offer hope to those on similar journey.Danny Flaus, a proud Worimi man and father of two. Danny and his wife, Jac, faced the unimaginable loss of their 14-year-old son, Brady, to suicide in 2018, after he endured severe bullying at school.

The East Indian sage Ramana Maharshi was once asked, “How should we treat others?” He replied, “There are no others.” From the perspective of the sage, the universe is one being. It is for similar reasons that the values of respect, kinship, and love are inseparable in aboriginal culture, as are gratitude, humility, and sacred obligations to original instructions rooted in traditional stories (the Lore). Join us as we share traditional aboriginal stories and wisdom of how to practice respect, kinship, love, and more, from the authors of The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Thinking to Change Your Life.Uncle Paul Gordon is a Ngemba man from northwestern New South Wales, born of Gurulgilu Country, meaning he belongs to the stones.

Liz Dale is a Worimi Woman and Doctor of Psychology whose work involves Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people's lived experience of eating disorders and body image concerns, as well as Aboriginal approaches to wellness and care. A holistic approach is becoming increasingly accepted as key to ongoing recovery. However, many of us steeped in Western European treatment models are still figuring out what a holistic approach might actually mean. Dr. Dale believes that understanding and appreciating an Indigenous worldview can help. “Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing can enhance the mainstream treatment sector,” she says. To Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, good health as more than merely the absence of disease, and social and emotional wellbeing is the foundation of both physical and mental health. A person's whole life is involved: their physical, social, emotional, cultural, and spiritual well-being, as well as their connection to Country and community. “Australia is a very individualistic society,” says Dr. Dale. “That's a huge contrast to Aboriginal culture, which is entirely collectivist. Our sense of self is inseparable from and embedded within our family and the members of our community. It's connected to the Country that we're from, and within that Country, we have access to all the knowledge that we need to understand how to live.” The problem is that, currently, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are up to three times more likely to experience mental health conditions and eating disorders than their non-Aboriginal peers. Dr Dale spent time with host Sam Ikin in this episode of Let's Talk in Depth to review why this is true, as well as how culture and community can support any person at risk.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paul is an author and consultant who specialises in leadership development and wellbeing. In his mid-30s, he encountered a period of depression, after realising the success he had been striving for didn't match up with his internal measure.

Up until Paul Callaghan reached his mid-thirties, he had all the makings of a great Australian success story. Or so it seemed, until on his 35th birthday a nervous breakdown changed everything.Reconnecting with his traditional Aboriginal beliefs and culture is what helped heal him… and eventually led him to write his wonderful book, The Dreaming Path: Indigenous Thinking to Change Your Life. Written with Uncle Paul Gordon.I've found so much wisdom, so well shared in his book and in the inspiring conversation we had for this episode of the Dream Life Podcast and I'm sure you will to.Paul is an Aboriginal man belonging to the land of the Worimi people, on the coast of NSW Australia just north of Newcastle, and in this episode, he shares a host of inspiring insights for you, including:How we can learn & grow from our challenges – or ‘storms' as Paul describes them - which need to be welcomed for the meaning and personal growth they bring (he describes his nervous breakdown as “the most magnificent thing ever”).How the power of story can help us create a better life and world – and that when we leave this world all we leave behind is our stories. Paul challenges us all with profound questions. What stories will be told about you once your life is done? Will you leave a good story? What is your unique story going to be? How will it leave the world a better place? And most importantly, how can you create and own the story you want to leave behind? How the Aboriginal definition of wellbeing contends that no one person can be well if everyone isn't well, and if the land isn't well. Built on the premise that we are all connected.How so many have lost their way in a world so full of noise and competing priorities. How so many people try to be all things to all people at all times. Busy, yet with contentment and happiness so elusive. Busy, but doing so little.

Picture this, in the past 18 months you've had some of the biggest milestones of your life so far - you had your first child, a beautiful little boy, married your partner and graduated from university. It's been some of the best times of your life. You've done all the reading on motherhood and the way things are ‘supposed' to go, but you're not obsessing over the milestones your baby is supposed to hit and when, your son is moving at his own pace and that's fine with you. One thing that does cause concern though is the way he's always gagging or choking on his food - you fear there might be something wrong with his tongue so you take him to the doctor. In that appointment though your life is turned upside down - the doctor thinks your son might be showing early signs of autism. This was what happened for proud Worimi woman Tanika Davis and her husband Adrian in 2017. Having their son Slade diagnosed with autism was terrifying at the time and raised more questions than answers - but it also set them off on a new journey to turn this new fact into an opportunity to raise awareness and create resources for Aboriginal families in particular, with children on the autism spectrum. Tanika is my guest on today's podcast. She's the founder of @_theiammovement and has a powerful story that will inspire you all to think about autism differently.
