When a Relationship Ends | Naomi Cao

Honest insights on divorce, decision-making, and finding support Divorce is often spoken about in whispers or statistics, yet for those living it, the experience is deeply personal, complex, and life-altering. In this Pick My Brain episode, we sit down with Naomi Cao to explore the realities of divorce — beyond the paperwork, timelines, and legal terminology. Together, we unpack the legalities, the importance of the right support, and the often-unspoken emotional and practical realities that arise when a relationship ends. This is not a conversation about blame or failure, but about clarity, agency, and navigating one of life’s most significant transitions with greater understanding and compassion. Naomi shares grounded insights into what people commonly face when separating — from decision-making under pressure and navigating systems that can feel overwhelming, to recognising when and where to seek professional, emotional, and community support. We explore how informed conversations can reduce fear, minimise harm, and help individuals move forward with confidence and dignity. This conversation will benefit anyone experiencing divorce, contemplating separation, supporting a loved one through it, or seeking a more human, informed perspective on what divorce really involves. Key takeaways include: *A clearer understanding of the legal and practical realities of divorce *The role of support systems in navigating change and uncertainty *Common misconceptions and emotional challenges people face *How informed, compassionate conversations can create better outcomes At Cuppa, we believe conversations create impact — and this episode offers one that empowers people to move through divorce feeling seen, supported, and better equipped for what comes next.

Reset and Rise | Shannah Kennedy

A Personal Plan for Sustainable High Performance What if the most powerful way to start the year isn’t by pushing harder — but by pausing with purpose? In this Cuppa.tv conversation, we’re joined by leading life coach and strategist Shannah Kennedy to explore Reset & Rise: a grounded, strategic reset designed for people who want to lead themselves well and perform sustainably. This is not a motivational wellbeing session. It’s an intentional pause — an invitation to step out of autopilot and into conscious self-leadership. Together, we explore how sustainable high performance is built from the inside out. Drawing on Shannah’s signature pillars of Self Awareness, Self Leadership, and Self Management, the conversation weaves guided reflection, breathwork, nervous-system regulation, psychology, and strategic planning. We unpack how to clarify values, reconnect to vision, and set goals with intention — while embedding habits and boundaries that protect energy and focus. We also explore the science of happiness and the often-overlooked art of celebration, showing how success is anchored not just cognitively, but emotionally and neurologically. At Cuppa.tv, we believe conversations create impact. This episode offers more than inspiration — it provides practical tools and reflective space to design a personal plan rooted in clarity, calm confidence, and values-aligned action. Key Takeaways *How to reset intentionally and lead yourself with clarity *Tools to regulate your nervous system and protect energy *Ways to align goals with values, vision, and wellbeing *Practical habits and boundaries for sustainable performance *Why celebration matters for motivation, confidence, and success A powerful conversation for anyone ready to rise with presence, purpose, and vitality. *Follow **Cuppa.tv* (http://Cuppa.tv)* and join our Circle Community to stay in the know *https://bit.ly/4pVwrPT *Want to speak further with our guest? *https://cuppa.pickmybrain.world/browse-our-brains *Linkedin: *https://www.linkedin.com/company/cuppatv/ *Instagram: *https://www.instagram.com/cuppa.tv/ *Facebook: *https://www.facebook.com/enjoycuppa.tv

How Food Can Change Lives | Rob Caslick & the Two Good Co

How can food transform lives? In this powerful episode of Moments to Movements, host Luke Cook sits down with Rob Caslick, founder of Two Good Co, to explore how a simple idea—food made with dignity—has grown into a movement empowering women with lived experience of homelessness, domestic violence and complex trauma. Rob shares the pivotal moment that shaped his purpose: visiting a soup kitchen at just 12 years old with his grandmother. Years later, after building an organic soup kitchen in Sydney’s Kings Cross, Rob realised that charity alone wasn’t enough. Sustainable impact required meaningful employment, connection and choice. Today, Two Good Co employs and supports vulnerable women through high-quality food and products—working towards a mission of employing 80 women every year.
