One Question Michelle Cox

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “Extenuating circumstances aside: What is stopping you from closing the gap between the world you inhabit, and the one you never explored, but wish you did?”______Monique van Tulder knows this generation of mid-life women have had enough. With helicopter parenting, juggling careers (perhaps professional life taking a backseat), or caring for aging family members, it’s time for second-act women to spend resources and time on themselves. Yeah!!Monique is leading Conversations on Mid-Life Wellbeing Teaching others on how to expand a mid-life in joy and creating space for themselves, encouraging them to design their guidebook for A Grown Ups Gap Year.Authentically sharing her story of mid-life reinvigoration - her own Eat Pray Runaway & Return adventure (she abandoned her family for eight months) - Monique’s wisdom inspires other women to prioritise health & well-being, financial literacy, retirement or professional life, and of course, travel retreats and adventure also! Monique leads an engaged online community of like-minded mid-age women who want to regain control of their lives. Her mantra: “Now, is your time” sounds like just the antidote for many of us living a life seemingly for others & not ourselves. Let’s find out more from the wonderful Monique van Tulder. Her book ‘A Grown Ups Gap Year’ 101 Really Practical Journeys for Navigating mid-life (I wish someone told me) will be available June 2024 (The Wellbeing Travel Guide series).For more information about Monique, check out these places;-Website: https://www.moniquevantulder.com.au/Instagram: @moniquevantulderHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcox (https://www.instagram.com/michelle.j.cox/)Connect with Michelle on Facebook here -

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “We need to take responsibility for our own health and this includes our mental health.”_______Shane Kelton is a speaker and author who’s experienced mental health issues since the age of 12. His first memories are hiding under the bed with the thoughts of wanting to die, and it was the internalising of all the thoughts and feelings that nine years later led to a suicide attempt. A roller coaster ride of ups and downs was to follow, as he went about finding his way to get through the darkest of thoughts. Shane knew he didn’t want to die, but the internal dialogue and suffering all became too much. In this years that followed Shane got to work on himself, lived the ups and downs and decided after a friend died by suicide that enough was enough.As a lived experience speaker he wanted to do more, so he wrote his book ‘I didn’t want to die, I just wanted the pain to end- finding a better way’ in an aim to help others who may be suffering or give a better understanding to those who just don’t get it. Shane’s passion is creating real conversations which don’t feel as challenging as they once were, allowing all humans to feel safer, build connections and find there own community to become healthier and happy versions of themselves.For more information about Shane, check out these places;-Website: https://powerstrengthvulnerability.com.au/ (https://powerstrengthvulnerability.com.au/)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shane_kelton/ (https://www.instagram.com/shane_kelton/)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/power_strength_vulnerability/ (https://www.instagram.com/power_strength_vulnerability/)LinkedIn: Shane Kelton (https://www.linkedin.com/in/shane-kelton-ab8307106/?originalSubdomain=au)Head to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCox (https://www.linkedin.com/in/michellejcox/)Connect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcox (https://www.instagram.com/michelle.j.cox/)Connect with Michelle on Facebook here -
