    A Practical Guide To Dying

    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 Links  https://carlyjacobs.activehosted.com/f/69 https://www.patreon.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.instagram.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.facebook.com/groups/veryexcellenthabits See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Let's Talk About Sex with Isiah McKimmie

    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.  Links  https://carlyjacobs.activehosted.com/f/69 https://www.patreon.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.instagram.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.facebook.com/groups/veryexcellenthabits Isiah's guide for deepening love and intimacy - https://isiah-mckimmie.ck.page/92da5ad26e See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Self Improvement Bookclub - The 48 Laws of Power

    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.  Links  https://carlyjacobs.activehosted.com/f/69 https://www.patreon.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.instagram.com/veryexcellenthabits https://www.facebook.com/groups/veryexcellenthabits See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
