Don’t STUMBLE Around!
Monday Oct 30, 2023
Monday Oct 30, 2023
Our guest this episode is the beautiful Sonya Furlong, an Adelaide 'gal' who shares her story of transformation - how she wanted to give back and align her values after a 15 year film industry career.
Five years ago Sonya started her own business of Life Coaching and discovered that NLP made all the difference for her own life journey. Feeling restricted by a full time job and a relationship breakdown, Sonya set out to discover ways to self heal with 'grace and grit.'
Listen in as Sonya describes her morning 'thriving' ritual, how she winds down her day for the best possible sleep and how she looks at hardship experiences as an opportunity to help us grow and learn to make us truly magnificent!
Sonya is currently reading The Hero's Journey and ways to generate change in herself and others. You will also hear her say "Don't STUMBLE around! You are not alone! Develop yourself through step by step strategies."
If you enjoyed our conversation, share this with your friends and colleagues. Sonya has an 'can do' attitude of curiosity, thrust and gratitude that is too good to miss out on!.

’Just SHRED It!’
Wednesday Sep 06, 2023
Wednesday Sep 06, 2023
Our guest this episode is a 'can do' courageous young woman, Emily Dennis. Now Emily and I met this year at a Business Summit and instantly found a connection, even despite a few decades!
You will really enjoy where our conversation went and what we discussed about living in this age particularly in our adolescent years.
We talk about how Emily uses her life experience to date to reflect and plan her daily thriving routine which includes exercise, prayerful contemplation and sitting with silence to ground herself. We cover lots of topics like leadership, listening and caring for others and dreaming big!
Emily is very open to learning about herself and how she can work more purposefully within her current jobs - she is people driven and knows, needs, wants to be involved with setting up a podcast for young people to talk through what is happening in their lives. Her mantra "just shred it' shines through and shows up in how to commit, not being afraid to fall and getting up over and over again... incredible life skills that we can use to lift ourself as well as others!
I hope you enjoy Emily's WOO - and how she wins others over! She has an attitude of gratitude that is infectious.

How FAR Can You Go?

What a privilege it was talking to Junie and sharing in her deliberate quest of understanding people and culture that has led her to where she is today.
Junie has always believed that if you understand the systems in which you live in and how they dictate what you’ll benefit from or miss out on, then you can design and imagine endless solutions to your wildest dreams.
And, wild dreams she has lived, to say the least: ranked in the top 50 employees in banking in Canada, liaised with public relations and media in India to raise awareness for mining workers’ rights and micro-businesses led by women in India, taught English to speakers of other languages in México and China, and co-designed health programs in remote and rural communities in the Northern Territory (Australia).
Listen in as we talk about her Ironman quests, and how now, she has broken into the tech industry (as a non-tech) by tapping into her entrepreneurial spirit to start seeing better representation in product design. Junie has a wild goal to remove biases in the design of products and technology and she shares her personal beliefs about 'fear' and 'daring to try'. Remember to keep moving forward when yiu think you're not!

Unlock The Story That Shines
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Thursday Jun 22, 2023
Who do you know that has journeyed to 45 different countries? I admit to feeling just a touch envious! Our guest this episode is Alex Blake, an international best selling author, editor, intuitive coach and mentor, entrepreneur and mum of two lads.
Alex is all about the journey and travelling is an incredible gateway to exploring not only a different culture but also yourself - your values, beliefs and assumptions that either block us or spur us on to becoming more than we are at this moment in time.
Listeners, you will thoroughly enjoy how Alex has mined diamonds, managed multi-million-dollar construction projects during a 25-year career as a mining engineer, trekked Mount Kilimanjaro, and edited 17 bestselling books – yet her greatest achievements may be surmounting the challenges of parenting. Alex shares her truth, her vulnerabilites and her curosity mindset that has enabled her to unlock stories that shine.
Listen in as we discuss the increbible power of self awareness to take charge
of your own destiny and live the life you love. Alex believes that everything is a choice - that 'truth' can be revealing, confronting and exhilarating, and by using your intuition to reveal the truth in your heart you are able to DO THAT THING you deeply desire. "Truth provides you freedom to be who you are, to share your gifts with others, to live from your heart. That is what brings abundance, joy, adventure and love."
We also talk about her pathway from engineering to book publishing and the incredible value of each of our stories. Everyone is on their own journey and may not think their story is compelling or unique or worth sharing. However, when we share stories, we give others a glimpse of inspiration. We plant a seed. You don’t have to know the outcome all the time - just keep following what is in your heart and that is what will lead you to living and creating all that you love. It can be challenging to stick to your path and not be distracted by all the noise, conditioning and beliefs. But we ONLY get this one life and it’s ours to live it our way.
