    Jess MacLeish

    Jess MacLeish is co-founder of the Peninsula Surf Sisters and an advocate for helping women find their strength.  After overcoming a toxic relationship, addiction and then burnout, Jess found the tools that have led her to start living life on her terms. Through a journey that traversed the heights of burlesque dancing and then through some of what she describes as being her darkest times, Jess has learnt how important the aspects of community and allowing people the space to find their own tools, are. The focus of what Jess advocates for is less about her story and more about what as community we can do to support each other, and how she found much of that by getting back into the ocean. In this podcast we talk openly about how energy flows through us to give light to ideas that are of service to others and that in the case of the Peninsula Surf Sisters, it was women coming together at the same time with the same idea, that birthed a movement of women, for women, exactly when it was needed. IN THIS EPISODE: ● Jess' teenage years and where she grew up (00:49) ● What led to her addiction? (04:47) ● The empathetic role models she had in her life (08:30) ● How Jess traversed through her moment of clarity (12:03) ● The tools and resources she used to manage herself (14:55) ● How she made up for lost time - The burlesque world (17:01) ● How Jess got into burlesque (18:12) ● Jess’ burnout phase and recovered (24:18) ● The impact of surfing in Jess (33:10) ● How did Peninsula Surf Sisters start and what is it about?

    Brett Connellan

    Brett Connellan is a Surfer, Motivational Speaker, Story Teller, Mental Health Advocate, and a Shark Attack Survivor. Brett doesn’t want to be defined by a single incident rather, he uses this life-changing experience to tell a powerful, and transformational journey for people experiencing setbacks in life. After the incident, Brett knew that his life would never be the same. He was also told that he may never walk again after losing three-quarters of his left quad. But instead of focusing on what he can’t do, he looked at this circumstance as a second chance at life. In this episode of Amongst the Waves, Brett shares how his purpose and perspective changed after that fateful day. He also tackles his journey towards recovery and how he developed a different mindset that allowed him to do what was once thought impossible - being able to walk and surf again. IN THIS EPISODE: ● How a life-changing experience transformed Brett's purpose (00:30) ● Why is the surfing culture addictive and immersive (04:20) ● The moment Brett realized he was going to surf professionally (06:45) ● The event that changed Brett's life (10:12) ● How instincts help us survive dangerous situations (25:15) ● Brett's learnings from The Bite Club (27:30) ● The recovery process after the shark attack (28:47) ● The changes in Brett's purpose after the incident (38:20) ● Where is Brett right now physically?

    Taylor Cecil

    In this episode I speak with Taylor Cecil who is a Chek Professional and a father of two young children, who has built a reputation for being a sought out coach by some of Australia’s top athletes. As a child, Taylor began his life as an athlete playing various sports such as rugby league, soccer and surfing. At 16, he started entering triathlons which later led to him becoming a professional triathlete. An opportunity that took him all around the world. During this experience, at the age of 19, he developed and was later diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome. Though he knew that he needed to rest, he was stuck between listening to his body and looking for answers to his situation, and continuing to compete. And that was the start of Taylor’s journey in understanding his body, his mind and holistic health. Taylor’s passion in helping others is a large part of his personal dream. IN THIS EPISODE: ● Who is Taylor Cecil? (0:34) ● Taylor’s Surfing Journey (10:02) ● CHEK Program: Physical and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching (11:56) ● Surfing Localism (23:55) ● Athlete's Mindset: Understanding Your Whys (31:12) ● Coaching Young Athletes (34:46) ● Holistic Health: Spiritual, Mental, Physical and Emotional (37:25) ● Spreading Awareness about Holistic Coaching (54:46) Resources: www.bhavanacookingschool.com You can find Taylor across socials and: www.taylorcecil.com.au You can find tanya across socials and: www.rawheartandsoul.com
