    Ep 71 Barron Hanson, documentary filmmaker, builds a community happiness project in Nowra

    Once Barron hit 18, he could not leave Nowra fast enough. Over the next few years he travelled the world ending up in New York as a documentary film maker. The fast pace of New York soon caught up and it's there that he discovered meditation that led him to eventually becoming a Vedic Meditation teacher. Some research into meditators in Washington in the 70's decreasing the crime levels was his inspiration to combine his 2 loves - meditation and film making to create a Happiness Project in Nowra.

    Hear about this awesome community project that Barron has created to turn 1% of the Nowra population into regular meditators.

    Tammi is a renowned author, speaker and life coach.

    After Tammi lived with a mild level of anxiety all of her life, but it wasn't until she had a panic attack in front of a new partner, that she developed a system on how to deal with it.

    Tammi's system was used for about year and then she got published with Murdoch Books who are a part of Allen & Unwin after being rejected by several publishers and it's a great story on how she eventually got published after making the decision to self-publish.

    Tammi has just released another book.
