    The honour of being a deathwalker - Zenith Virago

    In the western world, in my experience, many people have fear around and associated with death and dying. At least this has been my observation. I lost my first husband, Brian, to Melanoma cancer 16 years ago and his passing was far from a celebration of his life. Whilst I am comfortable in the celebration we had at home after his funeral, there are many things that I would change if I could, about the way he passed away. As many people in my community have also witnessed, watching a loved one pass away a slow and painful death, is one of the worst experiences you can go through in life. In this episode I speak with Zenith Virago, who is a deathwalker. She is someone I am thrilled to share with you, in the hope that some elements of what we speak about, help spark a conversation for you with your loved ones. We talk about: · How a deathwalker can help support you in life and in passing · What it means for men to be given the space to show emotion · The difference between a policy and a law · Voluntary assisted death The topic of death is not easy. No-one wants to cause their loved ones grief at the thought of them not being Earthside in a physical capacity. If there is one thing I have learnt from this conversation it is that we have many more choices than we think we do, when it comes to the legalities of our passing, as well as how we want to be celebrated.

    People have multiple rockbottoms - Jack Nagle

    Jack’s first step into the world of addiction was around the age of 12 when he smoked pot behind Chadstone shopping centre with a mate’s older brother's friends. It quickly escalated into drinking and taking MDMA. By the age of 17 he was a fully blown ice addict stealing from his family to fuel his habit. It was a moment of clarity when he realised he didn’t have enough money to buy a Big M – and the symbolism behind that – that saw him reach out to his family for help, that started his path to recovery. In this episode Jack and I discuss: · The honest reasons why people take drugs · Rehabilitation that saves but sometimes keeps people in perpetual fear · Alternative methods of recovery that have better outcomes · Not seeing relapse as inevitable · Changing the underlying programming that fuels the fire of addiction · Giving yourself permission to forgive Jack is the kind of person whose story stays with you long after you stop listening to him talk. The fact that he survived addiction, psychosis and his multiple suicide attempts is testament to the fact he was meant to share his story and change the perception of standard addiction treatment. Believing in what you know and what you see to be true, and standing up for what you feel in your gut is the right path, takes courage in a world where people’s lives are at stake. Show notes: 1.48 – The first time, around the age of 12, that I used drugs and why 4.09 – A desperate need to feel accepted and to fit in 8.02 – Hiding it from my parents wasn’t difficult 9.48 – When the wheels of the ‘normal’ life start to fall off 13.00 – People do drugs because it is an amazing experience 14.12 – ‘I love you, but we can’t keep living life like this and I have to protect your younger brother.’ 18.23 – People have multiple rock bottoms 19.55 – Reaching out to family for help for the first time 21.40 – Where is the disfunction in a family who lives with an addict? 26.44 – Crossing the line you never think you will cross 29.44 – How the words you use around disease and recovery, matter 34.22 – Stepping outside the standard systems of rehabilitation 37.09 – I believe in asking the question why 39.50 – Universal law and adaptation 42.40 – Chaos cycles 44.08 – Giving yourself permission to change your mind 45.21 – Connection Based Living 52.17 – Spontaneous remission 54.40 – Working outside government mandates 57.08 – Building a program that is proactive rather than reactionary You will find Jack here: https://connectionbasedliving.com.au https://www.instagram.com/realdrugtalk/ https://www.instagram.com/connectionbasedliving/ You will find Tanya here: www.integritychiropractic.com www.rawheartandsoul.com https://www.instagram.com/tanyaacarroll/ https://www.instagram.com/rawheartsoul/

    Should the AFL's concussion rule be extended from 12 days to 30 days? - Peter Jess

    This conversation brings up a lot for discussion in terms of not just current and retired players of the AFL but society as a whole and how head trauma can be the catalyst of the downward spiral in mental health. Peter and I also discuss how head trauma might affect children as young as 6 years of age, who are playing impact sports that result in head trauma. All of these have wide implications how we look at and treat mental health and often the extension of that, domestic violence. To say this is an important conversation is a gross understatement. In this episode we discuss: · Neurological impairment as a result of brain trauma · The four pillars by which we measure brain impairment · The concussion rule in the AFL · Women playing AFL · Children and brain trauma As a parent and grandparent, and an avid supporter of AFL this conversation has left me questioning if I have truly evaluated the risk versus rewards of contact sport. And as Peter says, are we treating the brain with the respect we should, when we have three weeks off with a hamstring injury and just 12 days for a brain injury? Show Notes: 1.28 – When Peter’s career of managing AFL players began 4.38 – Managing negotiations of Nicky Winmar’s contract 7.23 – Concussion rules in the AFL 8.17 – The four pillars by which to measure brain trauma – mood, behaviour, cognition and motor skills 9.07 – Neurological impairment 9.43 – Staggering statistics in former AFL players who are showing symptoms of brain trauma, including structural damage 12.01 – Dylan Grimes and does delayed concussion exist 14.44 – Primary testing prior to playing AFL 18.44 – Danny Frawley and Shane Tuck 19.46 – CTE and how it is diagnosed 22.23 – Shaun Smith’s record payout and the Bradford Hill causation paradigm 25.00 – Children playing AFL and the research of Vicky Anderson into children’s brain trauma 26.40 - Prevention and mitigation strategies 28.06 - Nick Riewoldt’s comments in regard to players being able to make their own decision on playing after a concussion 30.09 – Player education on brain trauma 29.45 – Insurance policies not being fit for purpose 32.26 – Women in AFL – the dose rate of brain trauma as a result of concussion is lower in women than in men – Jacinda Barclay 33.30 – Maggie Varcoe 37.40 – How do we make the game of AFL safe?

That is where you will find my guest on this episode, Stacey Brown.

    Scott Darlow

    Scott Darlow is someone that I had wanted to speak with on my podcast for some time. I saw him play back up for Eskimo Joe in late 2019 and new that he was someone with an interesting story. I also knew that he would challenge my perceptions and some of the ways in which I was raised. This is an important episode in a few different ways, but mainly because it has opened the door wider to me on what began as a journey of confronting, accepting and doing better in the area of racism in my own life. In this episode Scott and I speak about: · Currency and what that means to us each individually · Luck – does it really exist · Generational lenses · Michael Gudinski and who he was to Scott Show notes 0.26 – Who is Scott Darlow? 3.01 – A change in direction of career after a life changing event 4.29 – Currency 5.40 – Michael Gudinski and ‘for me, life is about how you are going to spend your one true currency 7.10 – ‘Man, you’re so lucky.’ 12.04 – Why is culture important? 17.03 – What is your spiritual practice? 21.19 – Generational lenses 24.29 – Have you had to defend your culture because of the way you look? 26.46 – FLUTE 27.21 – How far have we come since Kevin Rudd’s ‘Sorry’?

    Amelia Hill

    Amelia Hill is living with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Environmental Illness. These terms might sound vague or nondescript, but essentially it means that your body reacts badly to many things in our environment. Do you know that mild headache you get if you spend time in the ‘perfume’ section of a department store? That is a chemical sensitivity reaction. Now multiply that to include any smells that are not found in nature – almost everything in human lives right now – and your body reacts in a way that leaves you unable to get out of bed and even just opening your eyes takes a monumental effort, that is where you find people like Amelia. It is a world of complete isolation. It is a world of frustration of not knowing the cause or how to seek treatment. It is a world where even a hug from a loved one can mean that you spend the following weeks in bed. It is a world where hope is a commodity that comes and goes. It is also a world that is a mystery to many doctors. This episode is raw. It is at times, difficult to listen to. Amelia shares her life with me and we discuss: · Finding hope when even the last of her doctors has none · How fighting for your mental health is just as important as your physical health · Loneliness in a world where physical contact is non-existent I came out of this podcast a better human than when I went into recording it. I feel blessed that Amelia felt comfortable enough to gift me her full story. Completely raw and authentic. Thank you Amelia xx Show Notes: 1.10 – Who is Amelia Hill? 3.38 – The beginning of when Amelia’s health took a deep nose dive 6.00 – Living life in a bubble – Multiple Chemical Sensitivity 8.17 – Why sharing your story is so important 9.06 – Am I imagining this? 11.59 – How do you cope with the loneliness? 14.00 – Doing what you need to do, to stay alive 14.58 – Acute Inflammatory Bowel disease 16.25 – What is your bigger purpose? 23.00 – ‘When I thought I would die’ 23.40 – What has been the most challenging thing you have been through 30.00 – How could doctors ignore the physical symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease? 34.40 – Creating alternative options for recovery 43.06 – When people don’t actually want a solution as an option 45.00 – Amelia loses her best friend and biggest support, her Mum. 48.12 – Shingles virus – Neurotrophic Keratitis and complete rupture of her cornea 51.60 – A pivotal point and positive change – complete and utter defiance 55.21 – Losing my last hope in the medical world 1.00.00 – Environmental medicine 1.07.00 – Our most valuable resource for understanding human isolation You can find Amelia here: www.ameliahill.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/HealAmeliasLife www.instagram.com/amazingameliahill You can find Tanya here: www.rawheartandsoul.com www.integritychiropractic.com.au https://www.facebook.com/Raw-Heart-Soul-Podcast-113623920504349 Instagram – Raw Heart and Soul

    Paul Mondo

    During the height of the covid 19 pandemic in 2020, the Early Learning sector of Australia was brought to its knees. In an area that has always been a political pawn, and what I consider an easy target, there was a push to stand up and change policy to allow Australians to continue to be able to work in essential services, with the knowledge that their children would remain cared for in the centres that had delivered that service. It was thanks to Paul Mondo and those he worked closely with, as well as staff in Early Learning centres, that parts of our economy were able to adapt and move forward in what was a time of chaos. In this podcast Paul and I discuss: · The importance of support of Australian families as an extension of the care of their children · Implementing nationwide changes that could improve outcomes for children · Changing perception of community in regard to those who love to work in Early Learning centres Show notes: 1.34 – How did Paul end up working in Early Learning Services? 5.36 – When did being a man in a female dominated industry become noticeable to you? 9.22 – Community perceptions of men in the Early Learning space 10.29 – Wages for men 13.50 – Better outcomes for children 14.30 – The curriculum of Early Learning services 16.25 – Why are there differences from state to state in the name Early Learning and the first year of school and how that affects children 22.15 – Composite classes and social maturity in children 25.48 – Advocacy in the Early Learning space 31.02 – Policy changes that saved the sector from complete collapse 35.16 – The guilt some parents feel placing young children in the care of others 40.05 – Frontline care 47.08 – Soul purpose 53.10 – What is it about this sector and what you have found, that you think the world needs to know is amazing?
