A Journey with Bernie

In many ways this EPISODE 77 with the sensationally enthusiastic, passionate, nutrition expert, SAMMY BARNETT, should be regarded as a cornerstone to the joyful and loving mission of A JOURNEY WITH BERNIE ... and CHIP. Is it possible to develop a solid love for self without an almost sacred respect for our body? While not said precisely in those words, Sammy and this highly informative discussion...

Janeen Vosper is a born coach but in this episode, we also discovered that Janeen is a natural explorer. Yes, we celebrate her expertise, clearly on display as author of Good Girls Do Sell: The Modern Businesswoman's Guide to Authentic Selling: Vosper . We salute her 30 years of international training and speaking experience, and we recommend you listen to her superb weekly podcast We Are Women ,...

Read these six statements. Pause after each one. Consider them. Then move onto the next. You can make all the money in the world, but be the least successful person who ever lived. If you can't keep your word to yourself it simply shows how little regard you have for yourself. Failure is not some out-of-the-blue, colossal sudden event. It usually arises from not doing all of the little things over...

Emmagness Ruzvidzo was a skilled Marketing Strategist capable of building a company’s brand and positioning and her track record in Southern Africa was excellent. So when she, her husband and baby girl left Zimbabwe for Australia, their only thought was, What could go wrong? Well, nothing. And everything. On the one hand, Em’s new personal business is now smashing it as a Marketing Strategist, Coa...

Last week, podcast host Bernie K went under the Enneagram microscope with Hilary Langford. This week you get the same opportunity with Hilary leading Lachlan ‘Chip’ Huddy through the Enneagram maze. The beauty of this episode is that the patterns that determine the way Chip operates in life are so different to those of Bernie’s. There is every chance that you will see yourself in either of these c...

This is an unusual episode. Hilary Langford puts podcast host Bernie K r under the Enneagram Microscope, where well entrenched patterns of behaviour formed in infancy are uncovered. These behavioural patterns still determine the current way Bernie sees and responds to the Game of Life. Yes, he is diagnosed as a number 3, the Achiever and the Performer, but what does that really mean and furthermor...

Our listeners love it, when A Journey With Bernie & Chip takes full advantage of the wisdom of the years and that's exactly what this episode does so abundantly. It's a one-hour chat with Hilary Langford, who at 75 years of age has most certainly experienced the fullness of life. She was born in India where she spent the first 7 years and even though that was 68 years ago, she can still recogn...

As a boy, I used to love stories of Mother Teresa and the depth of her compassion she gave to 'the poor'. I struggled to believe that such a Saint could even exist. Today, A Journey With Bernie & Chip with superb film maker and producer, James Lingwood, will offer you a male equivalent. In this episode, you will meet Father Joe Maier, an Irish-American Priest of the People, who for more than 5...

This is an outstanding episode. You are about to experience Life through a Camera Lens ... the Lens of Producer and Director James Lingwood. I asked Google to share with me what it knew of James and in reply, it first sent me this comment ... "There is no doubt that James pushes the envelope a lot further than most people. Throughout the years, I have worked with a lot of people in the production...

The learning and the offerings from this episode with Narelle Gatti start with her rural upbringing. Listen to Narelle and you will hear over and over again a recurring theme that simply says ‘toughen up sister … shit happens … and move on’. It is the country way.    However, one would have thought that when an individual at the age of 42, is officially declared so 'visually impaired' that all she...

The value of people like Ben Hosking and Tim Alexander (Episode 61) is that they help one to understand why your capacity to assert and your confidence to stand up for what is right is an essential contribution to a world of peace and equity. Furthermore, you can't help but notice  hnotice that in people like Ben and Tim, they exhibit such a strong, balanced persona. They instinctively know what i...

This episode is a paradox. We explore possibilities of finding more love for self, life and people with one of the great Australian Muay Thai fighters of our time ... Dane ‘Daddy Kool’ Beauchamp and he certainly lived up to his reputation. Dane in this episode was very 'Kool'. It's so easy to speak about his record in which he won more than 80% of his fights and his achievements in winning Austral...

What a joy it is to bring Louise Bennet back to you, although as you will learn in this episode, the host of the show errs on a number of occasions by Freudianly calling her Louise BENEFIT!! Well, was it a humble mistake or was Bernie sincerely giving Louise a new identity that summarises what she truly gives us?  Afterall, your feedback from previous episodes suggests that Louise B has already br...

Episode 60 will tell you the story of a girl, who was sexually traumatised between the ages of 11 to 13. It will explain how her experience inspired a constant feeling that the world was unsafe. The only way, that a teenage Louise Bennet could cope was to combat that feeling by becoming EVERYONE'S PROTECTOR. The problem was that Louise's friends and romantic interests didn't want a Protector. Cons...

There is a little bit of Mother Teresa in this episode. It was she who understood that through physical suffering, one can enhance their spiritual strength. Consequently, it is exactly how her 'Missionaries of Charity Sisters' live. To call them 'minimalists' would be an understatement. They virtually live as the 'poor', so that they can understand and fully respect the very people they serve. In...

As we journey towards becoming a more loving human being, every story offers a new consideration. This episode with International Krav Maga expert, Tim Alexander, will be forever remembered for giving us the notion that Love and Aggression not only can co-exist, but in fact may be blood relatives! If we are to inspire greater peace across the human race, Tim would suggest that without the ability...

It's not very often that you meet AN ANGEL OF JOY. We're talking of someone who may be divinely blessed. One thing is certain. Louise Bennet is a rare human being. As you listen to this episode, you will find it hard to believe how this single mother of the gorgeous 4-year-old Evie could be so joyous, so sustainably happy and so accepting of the vagrancies of life. Louise Bennet is the fullness of...

I travelled to Kathmandu, Nepal last December to trek the incredible Langtang Valley. If you have ever seen the Netflix documentary called 'AFTERSHOCK', you would know this region's incredible story during and following the Earthquakes of 2015 ...

Incredibly, Donna-Leigh Perfect is a profound advocate of GRATEFULNESS. In the lead up to this podcast, I asked Donna-Leigh 'For what are you grateful in your life NOW', she simply inferred, 'I am grateful for the adventure of life. I wake up every morning not knowing what might unfold in any one day ... not knowing how life might tease me in the next 24 hours ... This makes life exciting ... a be...

John Coutis is the most colourful character ever to grace the airwaves of A Journey With Bernie , (mind you JJ in Episode 34 comes a very close second). He uses the F word frequently. He strongly advised me to stop going too DEEP before we had started the podcast and he will tell you the listeners to embrace being offended. 'It builds resilience and creates a thick skin ... get used to it'. This i...

This episode is one of our very BEST. The background is dark. The primary topic is evil, ignorant and sinister. The victims are children. Yet, the forces that have rescued 13500 children from child exploitation and sex trafficking is one driven by immense LOVE, PURPOSE and relentless COMMITMENT to right this injustice. Open up the website of Destiny Rescue and you will read a remarkable story of T...

Reena Augustine is a unique woman of the world in her early 30's. She certainly is not the norm. As a woman of Indian origin, she reminds me of one of the sisters from Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata. They are walking love. Reena is similar, but with two differences. The prayerful life of the Sisters tends to calm them a little. Reena is exuberant and mightily enthusiastic! Seco...
