Welcome to Itch. My name’s Luke, I’m 32 years old, and I’m from Australia. I’ve spent my life with an insatiable curiosity, an ‘itch’ if you will, and a need to understand more. This podcast is born of that curiosity, my love of story telling, a desire to seek alternative perspectives, view life through a lense of grey, rather than black and white, and continue on my path to seeking authenticity. I take you on a short journey of my past or recent experiences, discuss situations encountered and lessons learned, and provide an opportunity for the you, the listener, to think about this in your own life, with the hope to gain some new insight for yourselves and see if it can add any value to your everyday.

    Gratitude is a practice, not just an attitude

    In today's lesson, I offer my timely reminder on a practice so many of us know, and yet, I am sure, so little of us truly hold ourselves to account to. Gratitude - as I have learnt, is more than an attitude, and it requires discipline and daily practice to truly reap its benefits. In this episode, I talk about my most recent challenges, my timely reminder and a step by step guide to implement this simple practice that is quite literally changing my world.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Chase progress, not perfection

    In today’s episode, I explore a lesson that I use to call myself into account even until today. This unrealistic concept of perfection.  Whether it is what you expect of the world, your relationships or just of yourself, we can all find ourselves seeking out this state of ‘perfection’ in our day to day.  I found that by giving up this concept and rather connecting firmly with a state of ‘progress’, my world becomes more fluid, more flexible, more achievable and ultimately, more fulfilling.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Respect that everyone’s path is their own

    In today’s episode, I share my lesson in the power of respecting everyone’s pathway; even when that pathway may challenge, oppose or simply seem a distant reality from your own.  In what can be an extremely polarised world, this lesson helps me to bring empathy into action and humbly remind myself of the beauty in diversity and the need to lean in to those around you, or kindly step away, even when it’s most difficult.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Be a great team mate

    In this week’s lesson, I tackle a relationship challenge head on and look at the times when we find ourselves in battle with those we love the most. Whether it is your loved one or your actual team mate, this lesson helps to clear the clouds of doubt and anger when you reach for your sword and walk to the arena; asking yourself is being right worth it, or will I lose a team mate?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Business is Personal

    In today’s episode, I look at a recent conversation I had with a friend of mine, and explore a lesson that was formed from the affects of the age-old saying “it’s nothing personal, it’s just business”. In a world where work and business is becoming even more personal than ever before, I find that we too often allow for this 'cultural norm' to corrode our deepest desires for meaning and belonging in what we do. I explore how work is the same as a relationship, and how we can take a moment to self reflect on our own needs and desires, and whether we continue this reality or change it.

    Seek Joy, above all else

    This three letter word has become an integral part of my life’s compass. But it can also be misunderstood as simple pleasure. In today’s episode, I take a look at this idea of Joy, what it means to me and how I have chosen to adopt it as one of my motivating factors in seeking out progress in the everyday.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Be of Service, in all that you do.

    I have always been challenged with this idea of how I can best contribute to the world and what that means in terms of my daily work. In this episode, I tackle an important dilemma that, upon reflection, has been driving some of my behaviours ever since high school. I look at the age old question of “when you get older, what do you want to BE” and apply a new approach that I feel has offered me a more flexible, fulfilling and joyful life path.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The measure of Success

    When it comes to success, we all hold very personal representations of what this means to us. And many times, we find people striving for this thing called success, even if what they are striving for is very different in reality to what they actually want. In today’s episode, I explore this topic further from a recent experience I had, which made me think, what even is success and how do we best measure it in our life to know that we are achieving what really matters to us?   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
