30 Second Intro

30 Second Outro

Just a warning this episode is a touch on the heavy side. It’s about death, a subject we don’t often give much space too, particularly in Western Cultures. 

This week I have guest Jackey Coyle, author of In The End, A Practical Guide to Dying on the show to talk about all things… well… death. 

Jackey is a writer and researcher who wrote her beautiful book in collaboration with Fernlea, a palliative care facility. 

In this episode, we talk about death, preparing for death and how to help loved ones in their final hours.

Don’t forget that Jackey’s book is available on Booktopia - it’s called In The End, a Practical Guide for Dying - https://www.booktopia.com.au/in-the-end-jackey-coyle/ebook/9780645214611.html

A Practical Guide To Dying

One thing I don’t talk about much in my work is sex. Not for any particular reason, it’s just not something that’s high on my list of priorities to research and form opinions on. However, I have lots of listeners who have asked about sex therapy so I’ve got Isiah McKimmie on the show to well, talk about sex! 

She is ridiculously qualified, with a masters degree in Relational Psychotherapy, a masters degree in Science in Medicine(Sexual Counselling/Psychosexual and a Post-Graduate Diploma of Sexology just to name a few. She’s Australia’s most qualified relationship and intimacy specialist and in this episode she gives excellent advice on sex, couples therapy and how to get the intimacy you crave in life.

Ultimate Time Saving Tips from Amantha Imber

We chose this book because it has a weird controversial reputation. 

It's kind of a guide for manipulating people but the author Robert Greene seems really legit and actually very smart so we are deeply confused. 

Join us as we dissect this thoroughly strange, contradictory, quite alarming book.

Self Improvement Bookclub - The 48 Laws of Power

Changes, Fear and Coping with Loss of Control

This episode has been a long, long time coming. It’s all about hormones - not just for fertility but for everything. PCOS, endometriosis, and general thyroid issues. 

Women’s hormones are ridiculously overlooked and can be the answer to many different issues you might experience. So this week, I have Ebony Crameri from Project Nutrition. She’s a fertility and PCOS dietician who helps women balance their hormones not just for fertility but for general hormone health. 

Can I just say Ebony is a genius, and this is a must-listen? Honestly, I just loved this conversation. Ebony is smart and science-minded but also realistic and flexible. Get her in your ears today.
