You should have seen Kristen's face when I bought this topic into the room. Truth is fairly irrelevant to people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, they tell a version of the story that suits their agenda, so many lies. But do they know they are doing it? Do they realise their pattern of mistruths? This is a complex and compelling topic.

Sue Ray is known as an Australian Indigenous multi-award-winning singer/songwriter. She's has roots in the Australian and American music scene. Her authentic and fresh approach to country/blues and roots music is matched by her enchanting voice (have a listen - you won't forget her voice once you've heard it). Today however, we are spoilt to have Sue talk about her neurodivergent experience in her creative world. Sue's story is very touching, inspiring and highly relatable. What she also has is charisma, the sort you wish your could bottle. I so enjoyed Sue sharing her world through her neurodivergent lens. 

Sue Ray, we are all so fortunate and grateful for your time to come and share your story. Warmest thankyou. And listeners... yes! Sue Ray is working on fresh music coming out soon! Keep your ear to out.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 women (27%) experience domestic violence. Sadly, this is a known fact. What isn't known is that 1 in 8 men (12%) also experience domestic violence at the hands of an intimate partner. Men are routinely left in the shadows when they experience DV (coercive control, physical violence, psychological and emotional abuse, verbal abuse etc). Because men are considered the 'stronger sex', society can often not make sense of the fact that they too can be on the receiving end of a tormenting partner. Men are often not believed, which makes their trauma exponentially worse. 

Plenty of women are controlling, manipulative and set on eroding their partner's self believe and choice. Let's take a moment to chat about the men on the receiving end, the hidden population.

Thanks Kristen for joining me as we shed light on this topic together.

Do you know what happens to your neurochemical self when you cry? Our bodies are pretty clever in their design. When you hear what the physical perks are of releasing a good cry you might just embrace the opportunity when next it comes up.

I personally feel extremely comfortable with tears. I don't feel unsettled when my clients cry in session, I give them all the space they need to be in that moment and release. And when I feel a tearful release, I really value how good it is for me. Find out why for yourself. 

Hope you enjoy.

Special Guest: Federal Independent candidate for Groom, Suzie Holt The Justice Response to Sexual Violence. Special Guest: Federal Independent candidate for Groom, Suzie Holt When Suzie Holt wins the Federal election in 2025 for the seat of Groom (come on Toowoomba... surely!), our region is in for a much needed shake up. I never put my hat in the ring for politics, but with Suzie Holt I'll make an exception. I've known Suzie for perhaps 18 years, and I can tell you she's got brains, a strong community conscience, brilliant communication skills and the warrior heart of a pioneer. The reason that I'm so confident for a win is that in the last election, before Toowoomba had much time to get to know Suzie, she came second place on two-party preference. That's truly extraordinary for a new comer! But now that Suzie has proven that she's a woman of action, I'm busting to see Toowoomba step out of the cobwebs and embrace some fresh initiative in 2025.

Now onto our podcast...  'The Justice Response to Sexual Violence.' This topic was chosen as Suzie excitedly informed me that there is currently a review happening  into how our Justice channels respond to sexual violence. What is working for sexual abuse survivors, and what is not? Unfortunately the report card is not a good one, and Suzie is grabbing the opportunity to look to international justice practices (Spain!) to see alternative models we can embrace. 

I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Suzie about how she came to politics, and what has fuelled the incredible fire in her belly to advocate for the community's needs. We circled through some great topics, with sexual violence reform being our punchline. 

Thanks Suzie for your time, your thoughts and your passion. 

Everyone... jump on Suzie's website (attached in comments) and check her out. You can't get a more determined, practical and relatable Federal candidate for our region of Groom. Grab her for a chat. She'd love that!

It's very difficult to leave a toxic relationship. One of the most daunting and practical barriers can be our finances. Financial independence of some sort means that we have more freedom and choice to leave. 

Bec Balfour comes at this topic from many angles. She has her personal story of finding the strength to leave a DV relationship, she set herself up with a new career, independent finances, and her own business. She now also provides financial independence for her staff. Furthermore... what's her work area? Finances no less. Bec is eager to join all of these threads and discuss how important it is to be mindful to be empowered rather then vulnerable in your financial position. 

This not just relevant for young woman, we can all relate to the importance of knowing we have choice.

]]> Podcast: Who cleans the toilet at your house? Co-Presenter Kristen Coggan.

Who does what in your house? Honestly, truly, how are domestic roles shared or not shared? How much does your gender play a role in what you do? 

This is such a fascinating question, and one that we often overlook. Yes, we may have gender ideals, but are we practicing what we preach?

So the world benefited when she decided that career counselling was to be her own career passion. Cate looks to the person, and walks alongside them as they find a career that matches who they are, and what they want. 

We spend such an enormous slice of our life at work. How critical it is then to pick the right career path. But yet, would you agree that we don't focus enough on career counselling? More conversations (that involve for the most part listening to young people) need to happen to support the process of learning what options are out there, and to learn more about ourselves, our aptitude and our values. 

What an incredibly important topic. Cate is the most delightful person. I thoroughly enjoy out time together, and this podcast is no exception. 

I especially enjoyed discussing the societal pressures that young people face in choosing their career path. All so true, and so critical to avoid.

Hopefully, this podcast will leave you with a mirror to check yourself with regard to your personal choices and if relevant, your role as a parent. 

Enjoy.

Where to begin? This podcast is layered with so many intriguing and confronting themes and issues... trauma, utter desperation, the power of psychedelic assisted therapy, and healing. Holly is a highly intelligent, informed and articulate advocate for so many who are lost to trauma. As she explains, Holly was exposed to trauma while in her highly specialised work role... a role that involved protecting the vulnerable. It is a cruel irony that she herself, ended up so vulnerable as a result. This led her on  a desperate search for alternative answers when mainstream therapy could not help her.

I love that our paths have crossed and that we were able to share this very meaningful conversation. Thankyou for your openness to share Holly. I'm sure that your experience will help others to find their way out also.

Guilt is the strangest emotional state and thinking process. As parents, it's extraordinary how easy it is to set our child up to feel guilt. Perhaps we are programmed to feel guilt ourselves from our childhood, our culture or our religion. But guilt is a problem. Guilt can lead us to make choices that are not our own, choices that are based on blind obligation, not to mention the emotional toll. 

How often do you feel guilt, how often do you make decisions to avoid feeling guilt? But perhaps most importantly, are you accidentally parenting your child through guilt? 

This is an unspoken problem, it was really interesting where Kristen and I ended up on this one.

Mia has been working in the world of education all her life. She is gifted, passionate and insightful with regard to the inner working of teenagers. Tonight we explored the headspace of many teens who fundamentally lack confidence and fear self expression.

I just love how Mia plays the goofball with her teenage students, when in truth she is lovingly guiding them toward backing themselves and exploring their voice and point of difference. Perfectionism and confidence is about needing to feel in control at a point when most teenagers feel completely out of control.

Join Mia and I as we delve into the teenage psyche and try to find ways to build them up from the inside out.

Thankyou Mia, I so enjoy our time together. You are truly a gem of wisdom and devotion.

We hope you enjoy this podcast. As ever... we enjoy the conversation involved whilst creating it. Thank you Kristen, you're a great co-pilot!

It was here that we first heard of her travels, leaving her winery behind her, Robyn has travelled all around Australia and back again. She then came and visited us in Toowoomba, which meant we could do our podcast face to face. It was a treat!

Robyn is a bundle of energy who can turn her hand at just about anything. It was great to hear about her experiences being truly off the grid, being alone with herself, learning about her passions, and many of her adventures that have unfolded over the years. We even heard about nudist caravan parks. Who knew! Her last posting had her trip at day 1924. Yes... that's over 5 years. Come on board the Robyn adventure, her story has a beginning, but not an end.

I had the thought - 'What if the psychology knowledge in my head across the range of clinical areas was available in book form?' - and from this the SIGNPOSTS FOR LIVING book series was born. That's right, all the psychology knowledge in my head, across the expanse of clinical and life areas, poured out into these books. No wonder we needed 6 books.

Kristen and I had a good chat through what is covered in each of the 6 books in the series. The books are relatable, and conversational, and I was delighted to revisit the books with Kristen. I bet your ears will prick at many of the topics covered! Which book would you reach for?

Kristen and I had a good chat through what is covered in each of the 6 books in the series. The books are relatable, and conversational, and I was delighted to revisit the books with Kristen. I bet your ears will prick at many of the topics covered! Which book would you reach for?

Special Guest: Nadine Taylor A foster mum creating a home where you belong. Special Guest: Nadine Taylor The fostering world is a landmine area. Children are in need, but they can resent their new home. Trauma is real, but can become strangely normal to children. Carers can wholeheartedly want to nurture, but they can get burnt out by the daily demands. And then there is the need to work in a system that is designed to safeguard children in care, but is always restricted by financial, time and professional restraints. Foster care is it seems, all about extremes.

Nadine tackles this world of foster care with such enthusiasm it is contagious. She is one of those people that turns your head. She has a wonderful balance of big heart, clear head and loads of common sense. She brings these gifts to her family; her foster children and her biological family. Recently acknowledged with the '2022 Darling Downs Child Protection Award' I am delighted that Nadine took this time to share her experiences and life wisdom on this podcast.
