Find Your Way - the podcast

By Gena McLean

We're all on a journey - that's what life is! But rarely is it a smooth one.

Change is certain - but it's also confronting and scary.

We all have to manage it but many of us do so reluctantly and ineffectively...and we suffer for it, damaging our relationships, our self-esteem, and the chance to live a happy and satisfying life.

Find Your Way - the podcast, is based on Gena McLean's book by the same title, and explores what it takes to navigate change more consciously and compassionately so we can grow through it and live a more meaningful life.

Megan is back with Gena, sharing the mic as they reveal their favourite Go-Tos - the tools that help them each find their way. 

In this part one of a 3-part series, Gena shares her experience of the power of journaling as a tool to bring us back to ourselves and a place to safely explore where we're at.

Megan and I share some heart-hitting discoveries that have helped us and our friends, family and clients move from self-criticism to self-love.

It's another episode not to be missed, covering themes of self-abandonment, being a friend to oneself, the impact of self-talk and the importance of kind and loving self-talk. It's all about nourishing and caring for yourself as you journey through life and its ups and downs.

Ep 16 A journey through Chapter 4 with Megan Simpson

This episode is not to be missed! We take a journey together into what and how to let life change you. How to see change as an opening and an invitation to know yourself better, to heal, and to grow. And it all starts with awareness - and then a willingness to see and know and open up to what's within us and around us. Letting go of judgment and letting love in with all the compassion we can muster - it's possible for every one of us to change as a result of life's challenges and become more of who we are meant to be.

Join Megan and I for this important conversation if you want to begin transforming your pain into personal power, healing, enlightenment and growth.

A NEW SERIES FOR YOU! In the next 6 episodes I'll be sharing the microphone with my dear friend and colleague Megan Simpson.

Together we'll explore our journey with each chapter from my new book FIND YOUR WAY, with this episode starting off with Chapter 1 - Live Aware. 

Listen in to hear us discuss the concepts of living with awareness, getting curious, listening to life and stepping in time with it, allowing clarity to come and how important it is to do all that with compassion for ourselves.

Megan and I have been on the journey together for 15 years and in that time have supported each other through all of life's ups and downs. Many a cup of tea has been drunk together and tears shed - but we've also laughed plenty, healed a lot, and grown heaps as we've navigated this wonderful and mysterious school we call life.

Megan is an inspiring mentor for women with her own business in Bendigo working locally and via Zoom. She is the creator of COURAGE & CROWNS, a series of workshops for young women teaching them about self-love and self-worth. She works 1:1 and with groups supporting women to create a life they love.

Ep 12 Special Episode - My radio interview with Melanie Wrest on TRIBE FM

Ep 12 Special Episode - My radio interview with Melanie Wrest on TRIBE FM

This is a recording of my very first radio interview for FIND YOUR WAY! I had the wonderful opportunity to be a guest on Melanie Wrest's radio program, Sunshine on Toast, on Tribe FM in SA a couple of weeks back. And what a great conversation we had!

We delved into what led me to my journey as a seeker and how digging deeply into life's challenges can help us heal and resolve our experiences. We looked into what kind of a coach I consider myself to be if I'm not a 'true' Life Coach'. Mel also asked me to talk through my journaling process and how important it is for me to process on paper.

being the seeker and the sage came up and that we each both and how important it is to look within for the wisdom and answers we seek. And how self-validation, self-belief and self-love are the keys to believing we are 'enough'.

The origins of Find Your Way the book and this podcast was explored from its humble beginnings as social media posts, and we also touched on the self-publishing path.

It was a wonderfully rich conversation I had with Melanie - one that I hope nourishes and inspires you to find your own way.

Ep 7 Find Your Way - Chapter 4 Let life change you

It's one of the hardest things for many of us to do - let go and let life change us. We resist change but if we can instead be open to it changing us for the better - accept the process and learn as we go - then we will navigate the challenges we face and find our way a whole lot more compassionately.
