    The Stories we tell ourselves

    The Stories we tell ourselves

    As humans, we are wired to create narratives that help us make sense of the world around us and our place in it. These stories shape our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours, and can have a profound impact on our lives – good and bad!

    In this episode, host, Mel Histon, with guests Charlotte Thaarup and Kate Histon, will explore the different types of stories we tell ourselves and discuss how these stories shape our identities and influence our perceptions of reality. We'll also examine the power of stories to inspire and motivate us, as well as their potential to limit us and hold us back. We'll explore how we can harness the positive aspects of storytelling to create more fulfilling and meaningful lives, and break free from negative stories that may be holding us back.

    My body my choice?

    My body my choice?

    Around the world, many people are still reeling from the recent decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade, so that states may now make it illegal to obtain or perform an abortion.

    In this Hey Soul Sista episode, journalist, Alexandra Morris, talks about growing up in the Southern States in America – on the Bible Belt – her journey to Australia, and what it’s like being a liberal woman watching the political and social changes in her home country – the States - over the last few years – including the overturning of Roe vs Wade: a ruling diminishes the self-ownership of all women.
