On this episode, Théa shares her experiences with multiple brain injuries and chronic health, and how her focus on a positive mindset and gratitude helped to overcome challenges. Her story includes being forced to step away from work to heal, which resulted in a career pivot to study Speech and Language Pathology with the goal of helping others who experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
We yarn about our own journeys managing chronic health issues, both adapting to use capacity and energy levels, rather than time, as a measure for what we choose to bring into our lives. Théa shares tools and strategies that have helped her through her healing process, including 'brain breaks' and managing her schedule.Head over to Instagram to find Théa and follow the incredible work she is doing to raise awareness and create more understanding of TBIs (as well as some of her travel adventures!)- @yourbrainbff

On this episode I am joined by the amazing Heather for some yarns on being childfree. We both share what being childfree means to us, and how neither of us ever envisioned a life that included motherhood. We delve into shared frustrations with feeling misunderstood, as well as issues with accessible healthcare for women, particularly those who choose not to have children.
We approach this yarn with a lens of freedom of choice, with Heather and I both acknowledging people will make different decisions, or have had the choice of whether or not to have children removed from them. Heather shares what her current life looks like, including details from her wedding that stepped away from tradition (think wheels of cheese as a cake, topped with hand-painted dogs!).

Bringing you another mini-yarn of the podcast, this time yarning about the idea of a soul's journey and the lessons it chooses to learn. This episode brings you some of my woo woo spiritual vibes, and I explain some of the ideas and perspectives that have helped shape the way I experience the world.
I dive into ideas about soul reincarnation, having predetermined lessons for each lifetime that your soul has chosen to experience, and that eventually maybe your soul gets to "retire"! I also yarn about vibes and frequency, how we connect so quickly to certain people in our lives, and why I feel like a bit of an old soul.

On this mini-yarn I delve into more detail on my experiences dealing with burnout, and what I've learnt as part of the recovery process. I yarn about getting reacquainted with my emotions, nervous system, and physical body, and acknowledging how these shifts are benefitting my health. This includes a good boat metaphor, as well as me explaining how I have conversations with myself!
I also talk about giving myself permission to own language to describe my experiences and health status, how empowering that feels, and why I haven't felt comfortable to do this until now.

On this episode I yarn with mother and scientist Anna about her experiences with motherhood so far, and the myth of trying to have a work/life balance as a parent. We dive into external expectations that we often internalise, and how that plays out as an adult, particularly as two self-defined high achievers. We also yarn about being aware of how we were parented and social expectations of us, and how this relates to parenthood.
As a childfree person it was amazing to have such an open conversation with Anna about her decision to have kids, while acknowledging that this is not the only option in life that creates value and purpose.

On today's mini-yarn I share my musings on intergenerational healing and travel. I have discovered moments along my own travel journey where I think about my family and those who have gone before me, and I often contemplate if I am stepping foot where none of them ever got to. I particularly reflect on the opportunities that I have, that perhaps my female ancestors never had access to, which motivates me to make the most of it!

On the first mini-yarn of 2024 I take some time to yarn about what my life has been like as a nomad for the past 7+ months overseas, and the notion of people calling me lucky. I delve into why I don't believe luck is the right word to describe how I am living my current lifestyle, and also reflect on the individual responsibility we all have for our own choices.

On episode nineteen I yarn with Tyler, theatre kid and hair stylist extraordinaire. Tyler shares his story on growing up in small town New Zealand, and his journey towards self-acceptance and living as the most authentic version of himself. He talks about what the "coming out" process was like growing up, and the continual "coming out" that seems to be demanded by our society. From the difficulties of navigating high school, to substance use and trauma, Tyler talks about his experiences in an incredibly open and vulnerable way and I am so grateful to Tyler for sharing this part of himself with us.

Welcome back to another mini-yarn! This time I will be yarning about a topic particularly close to my heart (pun intended) and sharing my experiences around dating and grief. From anxiety-inducing first date small talk to having emotional breakdowns at multiple weddings, I discuss parts of my grief experience that have been particularly unexpected. The impact grief has on dating and relationships is something that isn't often spoken about, so I wanted to share my story on feelings of anger, lost time and rebuilding confidence.

Welcome to Mini-Yarn number two! In this episode I talk about the 'weight of stress', and open up about parts of my health journey over the past year.
