    99. She saw her Mother's murder and as a result Donna Leigh KNOWS LIFE. A TOP 100 Episode.

    This is the penultimate episode before we celebrate a century of A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE and as promised I wanted you to hear the very best of the last two years. That's why it's compulsory for us all to re-visit Episode 57 with Donna Leigh Perfect. If you haven't heard this episode, then you are in for 80 minutes of epic, mind-blowing LIFE. For many people, it would not be conceivable for one at 7 years of age to recover after watching the murder of your Mother. How does a child then respond to the shallow, mixed, regularly painful experiences of 13 Foster Homes?  How through these traumatic experiences does one recover to see life so simply, so beautifully, so gloriously?This is the gift of Donna Leigh Perfect. I do believe that there is a golden moment in this episode that is one of the top learnings ever offered on A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE. It was when Donna Leigh was working with Lifeline and her advisor helped her realize that 'These things happen TO people, not BECAUSE of them'. In that moment Donna was able to achieve separation from the pain and chaos of her traumatized life. Furthermore, she was then able to use the experiences beneficially to serve her life. I think you should read that last sentence again ! She was able to use the trauma of watching her mother's murder to understand and extract benefit for her life!! If you want evidence of this, see what she is doing now that brings meaning to her life and adds incredible value to 1000's around the globe ... www.donna-leighperfect.com ... There is the miracle. Embrace the journey dear people!! Just embrace the journey and just remember do all that you do with loving intent.Bernie K + 61 412 982 444 ... bernie@journeywithbernie.co Have you pressed the SUBSCRIBE button yet??

    98. Cancer taught Joel, YOU and I how to live. The epic Journey of Joel Staite returns.

    A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE is approaching 100 episodes, and I can honestly share with you that I thought the purpose of this podcast would be fulfilled in 10!! Afterall, how many strategies and actions are there that lead to becoming a more loving and joyful human being? This Journey has been one of the more profound experiences of my life, with every guest contributing something of value to the ever-expanding pathway towards love becoming a way of life. Of course, some episodes were potent and need to be heard again and again to capture the full learning they offered. Among these were Episodes 8 and 25, which combined to tell the remarkable story of Joel Staite. Joel was diagnosed with an incurable cancer and given 3 months. He lived another 6 years and when I say 'lived', I actually mean he lived every day as if it was his last. Joel's story opened our souls and taught us of what living every moment actually looks like. Only the wisdom of Joel Staite could say something like this ...  “This might sound crazy, but I actually think cancer has changed my life for the better – I feel like I have become a better person for having been through this … I so appreciate every moment, every single day so much more”.   His incredible story went to air on Jun 15, 2022. On October 8, four months later, Joel passed away.  Last month, I received a message from Keith Staite, Joel's dad, whose Episode 28 gave us even more insight into Joel's journey and the depth of our capacity to love. The image Keith gave us of Joel's 'raw courage' leaving the wheelchair and shuffling down the aisle to marry his treasured love, Kieran, will forever be a feature segment on this podcast. Joel did this just days before his death. At the time his body had withered to not much more than skeletal. The Mater Hospital once described Joel as ... 'An ordinary guy doing extraordinary things in the face of gut-wrenching adversity.' I think they are wrong …   Joel Staite became an extraordinary human being responding in way that few would to the 'grim reaper' tapping him on the shoulder every day for 6 years. Joel brushed death's hand away for all of that time and in the process discovered a meaning in life that few could comprehend. For this reason, giving you the lessons of Joel Staite in this 98th episode seems to be the only appropriate thing to do. Afterall, you are being taught by a man who crossed the bridge and became 'love'.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Your feedback on this episode is vital and so is your Followship.

Together, let's you and I play our role in making our humanity a more loving, joyful and aware species for that surely would bring greater meaning to our lives!

    97. EXHIBITION is a Gallery of Food Art. EXHIBITION is one's man creative gift. Meet Tim Scott.

    It was the occasion of my 66th birthday and my good friend Yvonne MacLeod decided that we should celebrate at a restaurant in Brisbane, Australia called EXHIBITION ... www.exhibitionrestaurant.com What unfolded was the most unique culinary adventure I had ever experienced. As we sat at the high table overlooking the kitchen, we conversed with the multiple chefs who meticulously created 14 savory masterpieces, before our very eyes. The plates ranged from a delicious mouthful to entree sized 'Food Art', most of which were composed of 4 or 5 ingredients, with the combinations of taste, synergetic wine and restaurant ambience exceeding any meal experience I had ever encountered.  Naturally enough, my intrigue was around who created this 'Food Gallery'. What was he or she demonstrating to us? What were they telling us? What was their message? In this episode you will meet Tim Scott, who decided that his hyper focused life force is best expressed through creative art, but this art is not with palette and brush. This art is with natural ingredients blended together to consume the senses of his every guest. I cannot imagine anyone doing it better.  By admission, Exhibition is his second baby. Together, with his dear friend Sarah Baldwin, they initially created 'Joy' ... www.joyrestaurant.com.au ... another reputable food journey that is firmly on my bucket list. It's a bit like this podcast, Tim's next chapter was always going to be next level.  Built deep underground the Metro Arts Theatre of Brisbane, Exhibition is Tim's intimate 24 seat restaurant which continues the legacy of live theatrical displays, visual arts and performance that still spook this 130-year-old building. Based on Japanese style Omakase dining, the chef will decide your culinary fate. The chef will create. You trust and joyfully invest in the chef ... all 7 of them. Expect to witness custom handmade cutlery, ceramics from local and international artists and their unique skills and knowledge blossom in front of you. Their goal is to share the story of all the creators, producers, artists and craftsmen that have contributed to tonight's Exhibition Food Theatre. Wowwwww !! So, what does this experience have to do with becoming a more loving human being ... the stated objective of A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE!It has everything to do with the mission of this podcast. Listen to this episode and you will hear ... This dining experience is one man's expression of who he is. He is asking you to not compromise on who you are!!Tim is bold enough to put himself before the public and serve them with his gifts. Do you have such courage to put your true self before the evaluators?Tim plays a mentor role to the young chefs who join him, hoping that through his values and vision, they too might realize their unlimited capacities to be best version of self and express it even through what others call work. How do you and I spread our greatness !!Finally, the eye-raising moment in this discussion, where Tim announces that he is both blessed and burdened with 2 medically diagnosed conditions, will only help you realize that blockages don't exist if you still seek to maximise what is. This is a remarkable story with as many learnings and 'Ah Ah' moments as I had on Sept 3, 2024 while at dinner for my birthday. My extraordinary experience is still with me two months later and now dissected in this sensational Episode 97. Would you like to share your birthday with Tim and his team at EXHIBITION sooner than later.Here's where you book ... www.exhibitionrestaurant.com And after this episode, here's where you can find the SUBSCRIBER or FOLLOW US button for A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE.

    96. How Dr Adrian Mattke lives between life and death ... and why you should too!

    Open up Google and type in Dr Adrian Mattke. If you can find his bio send it to me! I am sure there is a resume page about Adrian Mattke somewhere, but I couldn't find it amidst the hundred plus research articles referencing this incredible Doctor's passion for looking after very sick children ... sometimes dying infants. The vast amounts of references to Adrian's valuable research are stunning. It is obvious that when it comes to Pediatric Intensive Care, Dr Adrian Mattke is world class.  This entire episode explores so many human dimensions of Adrian's incredible work. These five discussions are riveting ... How ego and individual advocacy may have to be modified to allow the collective expertise to arrive at sometimes lifesaving medicinal strategy. Why it is so important at times to 'ride the pain' with parents and families. At times the best medicine is just 'being there' with them.How parental love can be an even greater medicine than any tablet or formula. Doctors like Adrian know this from experience now. How Western Medicine has slowly moved to embrace a more wholistic approach to resolve health matters. Consequently, the opinions and collective knowledge of all stakeholders including patient and families can inspire favorable medicinal pathways.This of course, does not diminish professional responsibility. In fact, it is a demonstration of professional accountability to include rather than ignore under the banner of status and perceived right.The fascinating conclusion is that Adrian points out how so many of the principles that need to thrive in an effective Intensive Care Unit also have to serve our lives.  Of course, only a man whose foundation was so varied, so rich and so volatile would recognize these valuable comparisons with life. Being raised in West Germany when the country was divided was stimulating in itself. Choosing to do his tertiary studies in East Germany after integration, was a chapter that has colored the tapestry of this man's existence. Are you ready for a unique ride inside the mind of a reputable medical professional?Are you ready to learn from someone who plays in the space between life and death on a daily basis?Are you ready to embrace a man whose work is an extension of values that have been moulded and shaped by both the joy and heartache of serving a child's life. Not all were happy stories._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ References in this podcast promoted "The Courage to be Disliked" ... the worldwide Japanese phenomena to be found on Google or Amazon.Adrain also suggests you read Erich Fromm's "The Art of Loving" and Scott Peck's epic books "People of the Lie" and "The Road Less Travelled".Bernie K also advocates that after this episode you will have an excellent reason to immediately 'Follow' A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE by pressing the appropriate button on this link ...

    95. Aussie Test Cricketer Michael Kasprowicz says dilute ego and value vulnerability to find your best delivery!

    Sometimes your character wins the favor of onlookers without you even knowing of their admiration. This was certainly my take on Michael Kasprowicz, a mighty fine Australian cricketer who played 38 Test Matches for his country and a further 45 games in the shorter forms of cricket. In his career, there were two qualities that defined Michael Kasprowicz. Firstly, the contribution he made to his team environment, be it at national, state or club level was outstanding. The good of the team always came before the good of the individual ... every time with Michael Kasprowicz! Secondly, his resilience and persistence, over 10 seasons was legendary. Michael was recalled to the Australian side no fewer than 12 times. His determination and ability to prove himself regularly outweighing the selectors’ preparedness to write him off. Michael Kasprowicz never gave up. Consequently, his grit and determination created game possibilities that should never have arisen. The drama of Michael's courageous 59-run last wicket partnership with Brett Lee against England is folklore. After incredible fight and fortitude, it stunningly ended just three runs short of what would have been a memorable victory. Viewers will never forget the sight of England's Andrew Flintoff generously consoling the stunned Kasprowicz amidst English celebration. But life too can be generous, for not long after their Birmingham nightmare, Michael and Brett Lee courageously led Australia to a nail-biting two-wicket victory against South Africa with a tension filled 19-run partnership. However, as one of Australia's most reliable bowlers, Michael Kasprowicz is honored. You just knew you were going to get 150% effort every time he had the ball in hand! For that reason, Michael shone in the harshest conditions, excelling in the heat, humidity and hot Sub-continent environment. He rightfully became Australia's workhorse. It is a label that may appear at first to be unflattering, but it is a title that reflects the character and principles of the man. It his values that you will hear most loudly in this episode. Michael's views and perspectives on creating community, the power of transparency and vulnerability and how to create belief and confidence in your teams is first-class education, and his lessons are not just sport inspired. With an MBA from the University of Queensland Michael has an eye for international trade. He is an active member of the Australian India Business Council and the founder of the consultancy firm Venture India, which beautifully assimilates the principles of elite performance into the world of commerce and business. You are about to hear from a sporting icon. More importantly, you are about to receive valuable lessons and awarenesses that just aren't available from 'the person next door'. Welcome to an hour with Michael Kasprowicz.

    94. These 2 books could shift your life permanently! Salute to Russ Harris and Bronnie Ware.

    THE POWER OF BOOKS and PODCASTS .... Wherever I go, I take my book. It is amazing how many times in one day, a meeting is delayed. Someone is running late. You arrive early. The dentist is behind time. There are so many opportunities, even in a single day to take out your book and read 5 pages. If that happens 3 times a day, then you have just read 15 of a 240-page book. That means, you will read it in 16 days and that means you read 20 books per year! One of my clearly defined values is THIRST FOR WISDOM. Living that value means I choose books that can teach me. When I travel in my car, I listen to podcasts. I am always searching for a learning opportunity.  Growing, evolving, becoming more aware of better mindsets is a not only a joy for me. It fuels new possibilities. When two such books are The Happiness Trap : Harris, Russ: Amazon.com.au: Books and THE TOP FIVE REGRETS OF THE DYING by Bronnie Ware, then you are going to receive new ways of seeing self, life and people. Do yourself a favour and order both on Amazon now and read them before Christmas, then your festive season will bring you greater joy for sure!! For example, just imagine what you would learn from someone who for years worked in palliative care with patients who had gone home to die. Bronnie Ware loved them for the last 3 to 12 weeks of their lives. Special times were shared. People see new things ... they grow quickly when faced with their own mortality. This was hammered home to A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE in Episode # 8 with Joel Staite, who was told he had 3 months to live but found greater life to last 6 years. When faced with death, change in so many dimensions can be phenomenal. Such change often brings greater awareness and peace before departure. So, I'll give you a taste of what is to come for you. Here is one of the 5 regrets of those reflecting on life as they approach their passing ... I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. How many dreams have gone because of one's lack of courage to stop compromising. Why wouldn't you favour your own fulfilment so that you have more to give self, life and others? This is where The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris ... amazon.com.au/Happiness-Trap-Struggling-Start-Living/dp/1590305841 ... adds so much value, because it focuses on how to create a meaningful life by living your values not compromising them, which Bronnie noticed was at the core of people's regrets as they approached life's end. THE HAPPINESS TRAP is devoted to effective strategies that can help us unhook from thoughts and feelings that do not serve us. It addresses the difference between values and goals and admirably suggests we redefine success as living by our values. You will find this episode loaded with actions and strategies for your contemplation, but perhaps the most obvious message is simply this ... VALUE LEARNING ... READ MORE ... THIRST FOR GROWTH ... SEEK NEW EXPERIENCES. It is a habit that will fuel your life. Bernie K ... +61 412 982 444

    9月13日

    93. From pathetic VICTIM to emphatic VICTORY ... The Jeff Horn Story.

    This is A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE best! Jeff Horn's journey from a timid, bullied teenager to an international lord of the boxing ring reads like the script of a feel-good Hollywood blockbuster. His unlikely transformation from a nervous, "nerdy little kid" into a World Boxing Welterweight Champion is legendary in Australian sport. On a winter's day in Brisbane in 2017 the man dubbed 'the baby-faced assassin' beat one of the greatest professional boxers of all time ... Manny Pacquiao ... who was the only boxer in history to have won 12 major world titles. However, on July 2, in what was hailed the 'Battle of Brisbane', Horn became his nemesis by winning a controversial point decision.  It wasn't controversial at all, because as you will hear in this outstanding episode, 7 judges have declared Jeff Horn as clear winner. I was there. Jeff Horn won. Jeff will explain why it suits a sometimes corrupt industry to call it 'controversial' when the unexpected disrupts plans for future bigger paydays. The upset victory made “The Hornet” a household name in Australia and captured people’s imaginations. Here was a mild-mannered schoolteacher, a Clark Kent-type character, who had become superman in the ring. At the time, Horn says, his new fame was hard to get used too. He couldn't go for a reflective walk in a rainforest without being recognised. "I just wanted to be a hermit and close myself in. I didn't like the constant barrage that I would get. Thank God, things have changed. I'm much more comfortable these days just being a dad. I'm just like everyone else. I don't feel like I'm different. I just had an extraordinary moment or two, but that is in the past now."  What this episode will reveal is Jeff's incredible journey nearly didn't happen. There were dark days as a teenager where constant bullying had him sitting alone in his bedroom reflecting on how little value he could see in himself. In a frank admission, he even considered the ultimate escape from life. Maybe, it was the support of girlfriend Joanna, his wife to be, or maybe it was the day he stepped into a martial arts gym and met Geoff Rushton that brought light. Such pivotal moments are referred to in this absorbing chat, which includes the day Geoff Rushton painted the vision that became Jeff's pathway ...  'I can get you to the Olympics in 4 years and 4 years later, you will become World Champion'. Jeff accepted the journey. With every incredible victory, there was always one thing that stood out about a post-fight Jeff Horn interview. In contrast to many egotistical pugilists of his industry, Jeff would frequently reference his love for Joanna and his growing family. It became synonymous with his branding. Jeff claims being a dad brings him unlimited happiness. Receiving his children's kisses and cuddles and reading bedtime stories is definitely his new knockout punch. The beauty of Jeff Horn is that his love for life and people now flows into schools where as an ambassador for Bullyproof Australia | Every Student, Every School, Everywhere!, Jeff coaches resilience and understanding. Of course, when Jeff teaches, students listen. Afterall, he is the living embodiment of a person who was a Victim and found a way to become Champion of the World and in a many people's eyes ... He still is!!

I guarantee it will add exceptional value to your life. https://open.spotify.com/episode/18S1oV02ixcShtmvtQRRXF?si=fec2081a2d794b8d In this second episode with Zoe, you will explore how inner and sometimes unconscious pains manifest themselves in so many different ways. Often, they lead to poor choices that just create more problems. You will hear Zoe advocate that this pathway is not healthy and is avoidable if you prioritise daily routines or what Zoe calls 'the maintenance work'. Let me not spoil her profound suggestions by mentioning them here. May I suggest that you join Zoe for this less than 50-minute ride which will lead you to a beautiful space of awareness that will go a long way to helping you feel authentic, solid, and stable, from which greater love for self, life and people will emanate. There is a chance that after listening to this wonderful discussion, that you may want to contact Zoe directly which you can most certainly do by contacting her through ... ECR & EAP Counsellor Brisbane, Victoria Point, Thornlands (freedomchoiceacademy.com) Of course, your feedback on what you thought of this episode is so valuable for me. Drop me a line on +61 412 982 444 or an email at ... bernie@journeywithbernie.co ... is always greatly appreciated.  Next week ...
