Rue reminds us that exercising discipline is essential and hat it takes time to change old habits. Join us for a giggle and a chat about how to eat, stay grateful and keep fit.

When we are intentional about how we move and think, we reap the rewards. Music is so central to how we celebrate, mourn and regulate ourselves, but how often are you that intentional about what you are listening to? This conversation explores the listening journey, from the first sound that you hear, your mother's heart beat.. to the ballads that we hope you will serenade yourself with. You will gain a deeper understanding of the tools that music therapy offers as a healing modality for those who identify with less linguistic emoting. Nathanielle, a classically trained soprano, shares her voice, her wisdom and her perspectives on the power of your own internal voice and her experience using music for healing in brain injury, dementia and embodiment. This episode is sure to get you humming, at the very least!

Here is a road map for better self regulation, modelling helpful behaviours and teaching missing skills to your children.

I loved connecting with Dr Simone Silver. Simone is a functional medicine doctor with an interest in chronic stress and balancing sex hormones. She is a gracious embodiment of the work that she does and she brings to life in this conversation the impact and intricacies of cortisol and how it affects thyroid, your microbiome, your sex hormones and your serotonin production. We explore tools for better regulation and the downstream cascade of events when a person's nervous system doesn't have an off button. Dr Simone so beautifully articulates the fine balance between our body, mind, spirit and environment. We hope that you feel inspired to moderate your own stress responses after you listen to this, chronic stress certainly leads to chronic disease and here is some of why.

It was a joy to connect with Brad and Anthony and talk about their work using Ketamine in the psychotherapeutic context. The power of a psychedelic experience does not lie in the medicine alone, but rather, the therapeutic system within which it is grounded. With thorough preparation, careful attention to set and setting, a trusting therapeutic relationship and ongoing integration, the power and magic of such compounds is unleashed. For anyone looking to explore their own psyche and extend their growth and development or anyone who is looking for alternatives to address depression, anxiety, OCD or addiction, this conversation is door opening.
