  1. 🎙️ Taboo Talk Season 2, Episode 1: When Love Is the Loudest Voice: Courage, Connection & the Season Ahead with Sarah Jordan-Ross

    6D AGO

    🎙️ Taboo Talk Season 2, Episode 1: When Love Is the Loudest Voice: Courage, Connection & the Season Ahead with Sarah Jordan-Ross

    🔑 Key Takeaways: Belonging is a universal need. The deepest thread connecting Season 1 and every panel, summit, and community Sarah has engaged with is the desire to be seen and loved. Tragedy can be a teacher. The Bondi incident shook Australia, reminding us what’s at stake when we dehumanize others or forget our shared humanity. Season 2 is a shift. This season focuses not just on naming pain, but on responding with compassion, persistence, and meaningful action. We all have a role. Whether you're raising children or healing from pain, choosing to stay human is revolutionary. Connection is the antidote to fear. Community, curiosity, and kindness are our most powerful tools for change. 🗣️ Quotes to Remember: “We all want to belong. And love needs to be the loudest voice in the room.” – Sarah Jordan-Ross “Courage isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like compassion under pressure.” – Sarah Jordan-Ross “History shows us that when we divide people into ‘us and them,’ unimaginable harm becomes possible.” – Sarah Jordan-Ross ⏱️ Key Moments: 00:00 – Welcome back & introducing Season 2 01:20 – Why belonging kept coming up in Season 1 01:50 – Sarah’s personal response to the Bondi incident 03:15 – Australia’s history with mass violence and gun reform 04:50 – What this season will focus on: people who stayed human 06:20 – From silence to response: the evolution from Season 1 to 2 07:24 – What Sarah wants to pass on to her children 08:00 – New season, new question: Noticing before action 08:44 – Closing words of gratitude and purpose 👤 Host: Sarah Jordan-Ross Wife, mother, wellness coach, storyteller, and compassionate truth-teller.

  2. Episode 45 Sacred Living, Intuition & Remembering Who You Are with Carolyn McGee

    12/01/2025

    Episode 45 Sacred Living, Intuition & Remembering Who You Are with Carolyn McGee

    🔑 Key Takeaways:✨ Intuition is a remembering — not something we learn, but something we return to.   ✨ Nature is one of the easiest gateways back to alignment and inner wisdom.   ✨ Sacred living isn’t ritual—it’s presence. It’s grounding, noticing, and reconnecting with your senses.   ✨ Balance matters: We need both logic and intuition; science and soul.   ✨ Community is essential — healing accelerates when people walk beside you.   ✨ Love thy neighbour is not a suggestion — it’s the missing conversation we urgently need.     🗣️ Quotes to Remember:“We start to remember who we are at our essence—who we are at our heart.” — Carolyn McGee “Your heart is your most intuitive muscle.
