In this episode, I chat with these two chatty souls Samantha King and Jess Curtis from the I Hear You podcast about navigating emotions, relationships, and self-awareness in both personal and professional life. We kick off by exploring how we process conversations differently - whether we're in them or reflecting afterward - and the insights that come from each.

From importance of speaking our feelings out loud, balancing being present with later reflection, and how honesty with ourselves and others is key. I share lessons I've taken from my own relationships and experience of how open conversations, especially around resentment, have been transformative. Samantha and Jess also talk about purpose, self-compassion, and the challenge of living up to societal expectations.

It’s a cracker of a conversation about relationships, self-awareness, and finding balance in the chaos that is life.

Brace yourself, because this one’s going to hit you right in the feels. Deb Richardson is back on the mic with me, and if you caught her story the first time she joined me, you’ll know exactly why I couldn’t wait to have her back. Deb’s journey is one of grit, heart, and a level of badassery that’s hard to put into words.

Deb was a guest on behalf of The Code 9 Foundation (episode 584) where Deb recounted her days as a member of Victoria Police and being caught up in the Russell Street bombing, however we also learnt about Yuri, the young 11-year-old Ukrainian boy who Deb hosted in 1993. Well, it is fair to say that a pretty special bond was created between Deb and Yuri before Yuri went home.

There is much more to this story, so please check out Deb’s first episode. Deb and Yuri lost contact until 2017 where they reconnected, and this contact accelerated after Yuri saw Russian tanks roll into the Ukraine. What transpired was Deb asking what she could do for Yuri and the idea that Deb could knit some teddy bears for the young children who have been displaced, well Deb managed to get 14,000 “Yuri bears” knitted, yes that is correct, 14,000 “Yuri bears”, obviously a quite remarkable achievement.

What is more remarkable is the earlier this year, Deb travelled to the Ukraine to deliver the “Yuri bears”.

This is her story.

Love Beats War - Deb Richardson - 869

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/846cdfa3-0aeb-403d-924a-b24b00af5f70/transcript

Fresh off the back of our trip to the Himalayas, where life-shifting moments unfolded on rugged peaks and sacred grounds, Jem Fuller is back on air with me, and we unpack what it means to truly let go. From ancient rituals to personal transformations, this ep recounts the moments of magic, connection, energy, and creating meaningful change that the Himalayas offered up.

Jem shares how he’s blending purpose and passion with projects like Meaning on the Mountain, his retreats, and the game-changing Love Economy - an initiative that literally lifts people out of poverty through meditation and love. Oh, and did I mention Jem's very own wedding proposal at the highest (literal and metaphorical) peak of our trip? Yep, it’s all here.

We also explore the role of ritual in unlocking deep emotional shifts, how to sustain those life-changing moments once you're back home, and why cultivating gratitude for our toughest battles can be the ultimate superpower.

This one will leave you with a head full of possibilities, and maybe a little urge to book a ticket to the mountains. Strap in, legends.

The Love Economy | Jem Fuller - 868

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/2fb3740d-3436-44af-8cc0-a91900716aa5/clips/ad0afedd-e245-46e5-9352-b237008ab5b3/transcript

Today's story is one that’s equal parts confronting and inspiring. Meet Bret - a bloke who’s been through something so rare and extreme that most of us can’t even begin to wrap our heads around it.

Bret was hit with Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a condition where your immune system turns on you, attacking your peripheral nerves. It’s as scary as it sounds. For someone as active and healthy as Bret, the sudden loss of control over his own body was beyond terrifying. Imagine going from your everyday life to being hospitalised multiple times while doctors try to solve the mystery of what’s happening inside you.

His symptoms hit hard. He lost the use of his arms and legs, and felt as if he was burning from the inside out, something I'd sure never raise my hand to endure. When the GBS diagnosis finally came, it was the start of a long, grueling road to recovery.

Bret had to literally retrain his brain to use his body again. Think about that for a moment... learning to hold a cup, to move your limbs, to function in ways we all take for granted. It’s a level of resilience and determination that’s hard to fathom.

And here’s where the story gets beautifully human. With the unwavering support of his wife Lisa and his loved ones. Today, Bret is back at work full-time, continuing his recovery journey, and proving just how much grit the human spirit can muster when faced with the unthinkable.

This one’s a powerful reminder of how tough we can be, even when life throws us the hardest punches.
