Bas has an enormous amount of experience being a National Presenter and Trainer for Les Mills.
He shares his journey on how he transitioned from doing Judo full time to then becoming a Group Fitness instructor and how he found it difficult having to consider other peoples opinions (for group fitness) where in Judo it was predominantly a sport where his performance was fully his responsibility alone.
He shares his insights on how to find your personality as an instructor and there's some very surprising things he shares about his own self-confidence given his experience and position at Les Mills!

#43: Jason Goodson: How Backyard Roadies Is Breaking The Binge Drinking Culture, How To Put Yourself FIRST

Wed, 16 Mar 2022 16:00:00 +1300

In this episode we sit down with Jason Goodson, founder of Backyard Roadies a travel experience and tour company in NZ.
The impressiveness of Jason's business starts with its birth during Covid, when travel pretty much ceased to exist but the lack of purpose in his corporate job helped him gather up the courage to go all in on his passion - which is connecting with people through travelling.
We also talk about the effects of binge drinking has had on mental and emotional health and how he aims to change that culture among his own life and also his clients. He really emphasises that Backyard Roadies is not a party tour, its a vehicle to meaningfully connect with the land, with other people and with ourselves.
Of course, these outcomes do not come without a painful process of learning and unlearning - which Jason goes in depth in making this a very relatable and relevant conversation.

Thu, 24 Feb 2022 20:00:00 +1300

In this episode we are joined by new mum and Les Mills trainer Rebekkah Burnett.

#7 Ben Te Maro: Managing a Perfectionist Mindset, Dealing with Sadness, The Functionality of Love

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 16:00:00 +1300

Hello!

Welcome back! Thank you for tuning in :)

This episode is EXTREMELY valuable. Our guest speaker is Ben Te Maro, a Clinical Therapist who is specialised around understanding emotions and its functionality.

With the current state of society and the push for mainstreaming the management of mental wellness, this episode gives reasoning and understanding to our emotions, what we can do to manage them when they arise and how we can differentiate its effective use vs limiting use.

Around this topic, Ben also shares his experience on how he deals with having a perfectionist mindset and his strategies on moving forward when it becomes disabling. Another extremely relevant topic is when he dives deep into the emotion of LOVE. He discusses the difference between its logical functionality vs the romanticised version society and media has fed us.

We could write on and on about this but we know you would rather listen to Ben himself!

As always, you can catch all of our episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Instagram @THEHIGHFREQUENCYCLUB

Hello!

This episode features our friend Grace Tocker AKA @cosmic.and.grace who has a side and passion business on intuitive astrology, guiding people through their cosmos and enlightening them to their cosmic blueprint.
Truth be told we were both a little skeptical albeit extremely curious to this realm of mystical pseudoscience, so thought hey why not get our birth charts done and get her on to tell us about it!

Quite an open and insightful discussion and sheds light on the whole process too.

We also dive into our love languages and how they could have been inherited by our parents.

Lastly, we talk about how easy it is to get caught up talking shit about others AKA low frequency chat. We all do it and after reflection with each other, we were able to break those moments and feelings down to hopefully trigger a more beneficial outcome next time we find ourselves talking shit.
