Reaching for the Middle James Donison

This episode of the Reaching For The Middle podcast is an experiment of generative AI technology.  Using the platform ChatGPT the instruction was "Write a 5 minute Reaching For The Middle podcast episode about learning from the mistakes of our youth, and lessons we learned as adults".  The unedited result was then converted from text to speech using the platform Revoicer. The video version used Dall-E, an AI art generator that has a similar interface to ChatGPT.  The regular host and producer of the RFTM podcast, James Donison, then wrote an intro and extro, passed it through Revoicer, and the cut it all together with royalty free music in Final Cut Pro. James took the AI art and created a moving mouth for the video.

Michael and Krystal French, and their three boys sold their Queensland home, packed up, and loaded themselves and few meagre belonging into a caravan with the goal of travelling across Australia for a year. 
I caught up with them on the midway point of their journey, in Port Arthur Tasmania. We spoke about the Why’s, Where’s and How’s of their caravan adventure, what it’s like with three young boys in such a small space, Krystal’s gift for creating engaging social media content (@cyancaravan), whether she’ll return to work as a flight attendant, how Michael has turned his safety (SQE) background into a lucrative business on wheels, and how two strong personalities create balance in a relationship.

Part two of my conversation with joyful Sr. Medical Education Officer, Jessica "Jess" Weatherall. We discuss post-natal depression, the joys and pains of parenting, surfing on the Gold Coast Australia, a trait not many people know about, training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and how it brings out the feminist in her, and why people shouldn't be so intimidated to date doctors.

Born and raised on the Gold Coast, Australia, Jess Weatherall is definitely living her best beach life. We spoke about her love of surfing,  career as a Senior Medical Education Officer in the Emergency Department at Gold Coast Health, myths and misconceptions about doctors, being a late 'dating' bloomer, social media and self perception, the ups and downs of family life, and the 'Humans In Health' podcast she co-hosts alongside Brooke Bullock.

This is a two part episode, stay tuned for the second half where Jess will discuss how she didn't initially feel the calling to be a mother, postnatal depression, learning to rely on others and ask for help, growing up with semi-famous father and his 'uber' optimistic outlook on life, her new found love of the martial art Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), and why she  holds to the motto  "choosing yourself is choosing joy".
