    Gratitude and Milestones: Celebrating Two Years of 'Life, Health, and the Universe' with Our Listener Community

    Gratitude and Milestones: Celebrating Two Years of 'Life, Health, and the Universe' with Our Listener Community

    Celebrating milestones often brings a swell of emotions, and as I, Nadine, hit the two-year mark with "Life, Health, and the Universe," the feeling is nothing short of joyous gratitude. 
    Reflecting on the journey thus far, I find myself deeply thankful for your companionship, whether through sporadic listens or as part of the steadfast crew since the beginning. This special mini-episode is a tribute to you, the listeners who've made it possible to reach over a hundred episodes and thousands of downloads, creating a tapestry of stories that bind us in our quest to understand life's complexities and the vast universe we inhabit.

    In this heartfelt episode, we not only celebrate the past two years but also honour the voices that have elevated our conversations. From the very first episode with Patty Sage to the insights of my latest guest, my Dad, Bob Burns, the diversity of our over 50 guests has spanned continents and a myriad of topics. 
    Listen in as I share a roll call of these remarkable individuals as well as the recent  collaborative "Guide to Universal Living" series with Laverne Proctor, a wonderful evolution of our podcast's ethos. 
    Join me in this reflection of interconnectedness and the power of shared stories.

    Bob Burns' Tapestry of Life: Family Legacies, Philanthropy, and the Art of Memoir Writing

    Bob Burns' Tapestry of Life: Family Legacies, Philanthropy, and the Art of Memoir Writing

    Sitting across from my dad, Bob Burns, MBE, the conversation illuminates with tales of his Australian adventures and quiet moments playing chess with my son, Louie.
    As he packs his bags to return to the UK, we capture these treasured memories and look ahead to his eagerly anticipated life story publication, a tapestry of family connections and life's rich journeys.
    Our dialogue extends beyond the familial, delving into Bob's vibrant past and the art of memoir writing, where his sharp recollections and endearing anecdotes transport us to a time of childhood mischief and career-defining transformations.

    Bob's life is a testament to the power of hard work and the spirit of philanthropy, values deeply ingrained in our family's DNA.
    He shares insights into the resilience of my grandmother, his entrepreneurial ventures, and how these experiences have shaped his approach to business and giving back.
    The narrative unfolds, revealing how our family bakery, Burns the Bread, has woven itself into the fabric of Glastonbury's community, paralleling the story of Bob's own growth and the pride of an MBE honour—a symbol of the indelible mark one's work can leave on the world.

    Wrapping up our exchange, we stumble upon a previously forgotten question, a moment that encapsulates the essence of our interactions. It serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of asking the right questions, the kinds that lead to profound insights and deeper connections. Each query posed during our time together teases out meaningful dialogue, solidifying the idea that the questions we ask are just as vital as the stories we tell.
    Join us for an episode that celebrates storytelling, success, and the art of inquiry, all woven together by the bonds of family and the legacy we leave behind.

    Transcending Emotional Barriers for a Journey of Self-Healing

    Transcending Emotional Barriers for a Journey of Self-Healing

    Ever find yourself caught in an emotional loop, where past traumas hamper your present? This week's episode, with the return of our treasured guest Laverne Proctor, promises to shed light on the shadows of our emotional baggage. As we navigate through the complexities of our feelings, our conversation seeks to unearth the profound effects our emotional histories have on our day-to-day lives.
    Together, we acknowledge the swift passage of time and the impact of celestial shifts, while sharing personal experiences that reveal our own emotional vulnerabilities. It’s a journey towards recognising the cyclical patterns that inhibit our growth and the self-awareness needed to break free from them.

    Transitioning from awareness to action, the episode becomes an enlightening guide to breaking the chains of repetitive emotional responses. Laverne helps map out the steps necessary to forge new pathways for personal development. We explore how belief systems born from our emotional responses can create self-fulfilling prophecies, particularly in relationships, and discuss strategies to dismantle these patterns. This segment is about equipping you with the knowledge to turn self-awareness into transformative change, blending the psychological with the practical to pave the way for a new reality.

    Finally, we embrace the world of energy healing and its potent role in the harmonisation of our physical and emotional selves. We venture into the science behind energy work, demystifying its principles and reinforcing its credibility as a complementary healing practice. As we dissect the synergy between traditional medicine and this ancient art, we aim to inspire you to unlock your innate healing capabilities. The conversation culminates with an introspective look at the complexities of letting go, the spiritual liberation it offers, and the potential expansion that awaits on the other side. Join us for an episode that not only provides profound insights but also practical tools for emotional healing and self-discovery.

    Bindi Robertson - Striding Toward a Greener Future: Motherhood, Conservation, and the Climate Journey

    Bindi Robertson - Striding Toward a Greener Future: Motherhood, Conservation, and the Climate Journey

    Navigating the intricate dance of life and environmental stewardship, Bindi Robertson joins me to share her compelling narrative. As a mother and a sustainability specialist, Bindi imparts how her personal and professional worlds collide, creating a rich and dynamic tapestry. The conversation flows from the importance of living by one's values to the joy she experiences in involving her family in her environmentally focused adventures. Her approach casts a hopeful light on the challenges we face, advocating for action and learning through every stage of life.

    This episode also takes a closer look at the technological leaps in animal tracking research. Bindi's insights into the delicate balance of conducting this important ecological work, against the backdrop of personal milestones like motherhood, offer a refreshing perspective on professional growth. 
    We share in the revelations that come with observing animal behaviour and the less invasive methods now used, and reflect on how these advancements can shape conservation strategies moving forward.

    As we shift gears, we examine the complex web of individual actions, corporate sustainability measures, and the stark realities of climate change. The discussion navigates through the nuances of renewable energy, the impact of lifestyle changes, and the heavy shadow cast by air travel on our carbon footprint. 
    Bindi and I underscore the significance of creating memories that last a lifetime, the very personal journey through loss, and the quest to balance passion with the practicalities of daily life. 
    The episode wraps up with a powerful reminder that although the challenge of climate change is immense, every step we take is a stride toward a healthier planet.

    Bindi Robertson feels like she was put on this planet to do, see, and learn everything. After getting a degree in Business in Economics whilst playing tennis on scholarship at an American university, she developed a deep concern for the state of the planet, which lead to a PhD in Natural Resource Management. After becoming a mum at 36 to two daughters, she stayed home to raise them, using the time, along with her husband, to travel the world with them and take them on lots of hiking, cycling and skiing outdoor adventures. There was also lots of time spent grappling with how to return to the work force and how to contribute positively to the world going forward. This led to a slight ‘pivot’ from conservation to the completion of a Masters in Climate Change Science and Policy, and work within the corporate world of voluntary emissions reduction. Now, turning 50, the grappling continues, with how to contribute positively, balance family life, and, how to prioritise personal wellness.
