If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “We want to talk about sharing the life admin load in a partnership - being aware of how you’re contributing to dysfunction and letting go of unsustainable standards. Tied into this is budgeting/outsourcing and people’s irrational money stories and money types - trying to do it all rather than asking for and buying help.” _______________ Mia Northrop and Dinah Rowe Roberts first met at high school in Melbourne....

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “The value of relationships. I’ve been thinking about this a lot since I started writing my book. When I was younger no one ever told me the value of long term friendships / relationships. I spent way too much time/emotion on burning through people when I was younger (accountants, business partners, employees, early on even friends). It wasn’t until my thirties that I really started to notice others who’d built t...

You are in for a treat today - Kemi Nekvapil is like no other human I’ve ever met. She’s wise, she’s funny, she’s incredibly insightful, and what I think I love about Kemi the most in my dealings with her over the years is that she pulls no punches and holds us all accountable. Kemi has had a really unusual life and she shares many of her experiences and wisdom in her new book that is out right now (I got a copy only yesterday at the airport actually!). It’s called POWER and it’s all about livi...

Welcome back to the land of Wabi Sabi Series! I’m sorry I’ve been gone so long from your ears… I’ve had a bit of work to do on the podcast behind the scenes before I launched Series 3. Having a platform like this & a forum to talk about such interesting things is great when you start out…but once you start growing and getting more listeners and feedback on your episodes (which I love!), I've felt a growing sense to continually improve it and make it even better for you. One of the things that ...

Why do we think it’s a compliment to say to someone “Gee, you look so good for your age?”. Why is society at large so obsessed about staying young? As I approach my 50th birthday, I’ve been reflecting on many things. How wonderful it is to be alive. How lucky I feel to be surrounded by so many amazing people in my life who bring me joy, challenge and support me, and what an absolute privilege it is to get ‘old’. In this final episode for the season, my dear friend, fellow podcaster and incredi...

Justine Martin has a story that is hard to believe and she has used the adversity that has happened to her to now help others. Ten years ago Justine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be?  “We all need to take responsibility for our own health and wellbeing” This is a short episode where I’m challenging you to think a little differently about your body and how you treat it. It’s not about badmouthing general practitioners and ridiculing the medical fraternity. It’s a centuries-old notion that doctors are healers and near to gods, but they are mere mortals and their expertise is limited. My crus...
