Ep. 36 - What makes us thrive as humans?

Welcome back guys!

This episode features my 2nd chat with Jordan Jensen. Jordan was introduced through a mutual friend, and former guest of the podcast, Alex Tibbels. Jordan works hard to promote self awareness in men and has a wealth of experience to share. He's a huge advocate for mental health and works closely with individuals, and couples to create transparency and healthier relationships.

In this episode, we chat about what Jordan is currently working towards in the space of relationship coaching, what his training regime looks like having recently signed up for the Man-made challenge, and we chat about what makes us thrive as humans. You can find Jordan at:

Ep. 34 - Black lives matter through an Indigenous lens.

We are so happy to be back with you all! Life has been crazy so we have been taking a little break but today we are back with a very important episode. 

Meet Sophie, Birrahlee & Ebony. Three proud Indigenous women. 

With everything that is happening in the world right now we felt that it was important for us to listen and to learn about what is happening on our own doorstep. Sophie, Ebony and Birrahlee helped to educate us and all of you as well as share their own experiences and insight. 

It is up to ALL of us to help drive the changes that need to happen here in Australia and the rest of the world and to put and end to racism.

Ep. 32 - Meet Jordan Jensen

Welcome back guys! 

Another great chat had this week, with Jordan Jensen. Jordan was introduced through a mutual friend, and former guest of the podcast, Alex Tibbels. Jordan works hard to promote self awareness in men and has a wealth of experience to share. He's a huge advocate for mental health and works closely with individuals, and couples to create transparency and healthier relationships.

I really enjoyed this chat, and we've already scheduled in a second episode, to narrow in on a specific topic of mutual interest. 

Apologies for the quality of audio in this episode guys, we experienced some technical issues early on and I had to resort to standard earphones and mic. There's plenty of gold in the content nonetheless.

Let us know what you think of the episode guys, reach out directly or leave a review as it helps grow the podcast.

Ep. 19 - Conscious Consumerism

In this episode we share our thoughts on conscious consumerism and how we integrate it into our everyday life.

Conscious consumerism is way of becoming aware of what you take in in your everyday life. Whether that be through social media, the news, tv, the radio, the books you read etc. We believe that this allows us to align our intentions, thoughts, words, and actions in a way that is more positive and intentional.

I (Rhys) was fortunate enough to meet Brady in 2018 during my stint living in Tamworth. Brady is massive on taking ownership of our own lives, to better help others. We chat about refusing to just "turn up" to your own life and touch on breaking out of 'typical' or 'pre-moulded' trajectories in life.

There's so much in this guys. We could've chatted for hours. Of course, enjoy the episode and let us know what you get out of it.
