For those that missed the recent Facebook Live chat I had with the hilarious Aaron Gocs here's the edited version in full. We spoke about Gocsy's comedy journey so far, the challenges that he has had to overcome throughout his life, the big Div 12 Ressies game that he was a part of and went beyond all expectations and what's happening for the rest of the year for Gocsy. Thanks so much to Gocsy for...

It’s a common concern for parents feeling like their child doesn’t fit in or is just too different. There could be a problem. But when we dig deeper into that idea the disconnect is often more about a clash of personalities between the child and the parents, rather than an inherent issue.   In this episode, Kate, a skilled personality coach, sheds light into understanding and bridging the gap betw...

I was delighted to be joined earlier this year by good mate and comedian Jarryd Goundrey on Comedy Legends with Bevo. Jarryd is going from strength to strength and performing with some of the world's best comedians. Jarryd spoke about the financial challenges that came with being a stand-up comedian and why it's not easy, why going viral on social media isn't as good as what you think and Jarryd a...

There are 6,570 days in the first 18 years of our children’s lives.

Wimbledon is well and truly in full swing so to keep in the theme of things I had a chat with Australian tennis star and Riverland's very own Luke Saville. We spoke about how he met his wife and fellow Aussie tennis star Daria Saville, the thrill of representing the Aussies in the Davis Cup for the first time and what it was like to play in the final of the Australian Open Doubles in 2020 with fel...

This episode explores the universal struggle of never feeling like you have enough time as a parent. In a world where time seems to slip through our fingers, we delve into the profound impact of parenting our perception of time. We use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to look at how the feeling dimension plays a significant role in the parental time dilemma.   Grab a cup of tea, take a deep...

On the one hand teaching our kids right from wrong is a key element of parenting. But if you accept there is another tier of behavioural decision-making that can be classified as Good and Bad, making that distinction for our kids is potentially harmful. In many cases what is good and what is bad is subjective. Is a quiet baby a “Good baby” with a “Good Parent”? Is speaking up in a socially awkward...

Perfectionism is a personality trait characterized by setting extremely high standards for oneself. Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with that, it can encourage us to go further, work harder, do more. But it can also cause us to be critical of our own performance, trigger fear and anxiety, and be a hinderance to our true potential.   Overcoming your own damaging perfectionist mindset is one thing,...

It was a great joy to chat with Adelaide Football Club legend Rod 'Jammo' Jameson recently on Sports Legends with Bevo. We discussed how Jammo was very close to being a Kangaroos player, what it was like to be part of the Crows premiership side in 1997, some of the characters that he played with during his career and Jammo gave some very insightful thoughts about what we can do with the current co...

Recognizing introverted and extroverted tendencies in children is crucial for understanding their needs and adapting our parenting styles accordingly. Extroverted children derive their energy and relaxation from social interaction, finding solace in the company of others. Introverted children are more likely to cherish time alone… time away from people including parents.   As outgoing parents, it’...

The boys from Marmalade Australia, Div 12 Ressies and Anything Is Content are killing it on social media at the moment and you couldn't meet two nicer blokes. I was stoked to have DJ Checkers and Srey on Comedy Legends with Bevo recently for a chat.

Personality types affect your family dynamics. The ISTJ is typically the dutiful parent offering their kids consistency, routine, and organization.

Hey that mine. I saw it first. Too bad. Finders keepers. Losers weepers.   No need to even ask if this sounds familiar. It does. But there are ways to manage sibling rivalries. Actually understanding your children’s personality types and preferences can go a long way to keeping the peace.     Guest: Sandra Etherington On Instagram Website https://familypersonalities.com/ Read Sandra’s article "Nav...

When traveling do you prefer to be highly organized and structured? Loose and available for what catches your whim? Or somewhere in between.   It’s all good when it’s just you traveling. It gets complicated when you have traveling companions, particularly if they don’t share your preferences.   Guest Co Host: Tracy Noon   Contact: thepersonalitycoach@gmail.com   Kate’s website Kate’s book on Amazo...

The most important tenet of Attachment theory is that young children need to develop a relationship with at least one primary caregiver for normal social and emotional development.   But in a world where parents, not just teenagers, are constantly distracted by mobile apps, social media, email and text messages, how do we ensure our kids are ok? Guest: Megan Gallagher (PG Dip Teaching, M.Ed.) Igni...

More than 40 counties and territories around the world have banned the physical punishment of children. New Zealand is on the list, but not Australia. Less than 10% of children under the age of five are living in countries where corporal punishment at home is fully prohibited. For years, different studies have indicated smacking or spanking is linked with an increased risk of negative outcomes for...

In many ways the role of “Mother” has changed in the last couple decades. Since Mother’s Day was first conceived in the 1800’s, the role of mother can now be filled stepmothers, same sex couples, transgender mothers, gender neutral mothers, and fathers.   But in other ways “Mother” hasn’t changed at all. It is the person who, typically, bears the ultimate responsibility for the health and wellbein...

Think about the haircut from a young child’s perspective. They’re brought to a new place, sat in a tall chair and told to sit still. There’s a strange adult standing above them, holding a pair of scissors. They’ve probably already learned at home scissors are dangerous. They hurt if they get cut. How does the child know getting their haircut is actually painless? On top of this some kids genuinely...

You don’t need to be opposites to attract. Sometimes two very like-minded people with like-personalities people find mutual attraction. But it does seem odd that it’s often two people are not the same in many, many ways who find attraction. For example, why does the introvert find attraction in the extravert? Do they help them learn to speak up more and join the party? And why does the extravert f...
