Ep. 64 – "...you've been on my mind." 17.05.2026

Heya. Welcome back. This is a catch-up and calibrating conversation to circle back to move forward from where we started and where we’re going from here. Enjoy. This is a public episode.

Ep. 63 - "...more is more and less is less and there's bliss to be had when size no longer matters." 17.02.2026

It’s been a month which has felt like a moment since a share was shared here, this is what happens when one does as they say aloud, which means this little living human is loving the lightness of living lightly. Here I share a few random knowings now know and a bit of bliss born in moments many don’t know to be in yet. Enjoy. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other s...

Ep. 62 - "...moving from a 'word of the year' to 'a priority' is paying off." 04.01.2026

In this conversation I share a little of a look back on last year’s agreed priorities and how they continue to influence, inform, and inspire our ways and days. Now, with the experience that’s packed with example on example that focusing on a priority leads to the most wondrous outcomes, I show how we’ve focused our focus again this year on a shared priority and I can also share a couple of indivi...

Ep. 61 - "...maybe this time next year it will be so normal you won't notice." 22.12.2025

This conversation is a moment following a morning moment that is so normal it goes without notice. To keep it short, there are two parts, the first part of the convo talks to the idea of what we know is coming the day after Christmas, where we look ahead to next year. And, the second part talks to our most recent convo of gifting for the anti-gifters, specifically, how I found a gift that I can en...

Ep. 60 - "...seriously, no gifts please." 20.12.2025

There’s that moment that many of us feel like we’re invisible. The moments where many mean well but don’t really realise some of us are losing it our 💩 inside...Here I share a shared experience of not how to handle this moment, but just a conversation...

Ep. 59 - "...a new sense of growing in one's knowing is so much more fun than growing up." 08.11.2025

In this conversation I share with you an example of what it is for one human to grow into one’s own a little more than before. The benefits uttered aloud are greater than what has been shared here, and yet what has been shared may be more than enough to inspire, spark, or light a fire under your human backside to grow to own your now sense of self and where you can grow from here. Enjoy. This is a...

Ep. 58 - "...the idea of living lightly has opened up the space and place in ways I didn't see coming, until now." 26.09.2025

You’re most welcome with the warmest of welcomes to walk among and amidst these wondering words that have a little wild that lingers as they feel the new feels of light in their days and ways. 😅 Correcting and incorrect in this conversation in that I know I sat that an adverb modifies a verb or noun, this is not totally true. An adverb can modify a verb, adjective, or other adverbs. Done, now tha...

Ep. 57 - "...it's my favourite wording way that opens up..." 18.09.2025

If you’re a human that has experiences where your humans asks for more on some days that feel like they’re forever getting in the way, then this working way may work for you. When it lands true for you too you can feel confident and comfy to pull it front of mind for long enough to do what it does and grow to know it then loves to fall away from the front to open up the space for you to do what yo...

Ep. 56 - "...knowing when others are asking to use my weird without asking is moving the ball back into my court...and it's kinda fun." 11.09.2025

You’re most welcome to lean a little of your curiosity into a quick convo about how others can come in hot and want a little of our weird without asking. This is a light look at a light moment shared among real-humans in real-time. If this is you too then you may find parts that ring true for you and maybe a little something you can do. Whatever you choose, remember, take that which is only yours...

Ep. 55 - "...our weirds can be wild and wonderful in the way they work with us and us them." 05.09.2025

Heya, this one’s a quickie to leverage and lean on my weird to inspire you to find and feels more connected with yours. That’s it. Enjoy 🤓 A defined definition that lazily inspired my weird to be a little more wonderful. This is a public episode.

Ep. 54 - "...we don't need to take the real-life superpowers of others, knowing they're really real is more than enough." 28.08.2025

You’re welcome and warmly waved over to jump in and listen to a twisty and, at times, tangled conversation of many pondering ponders that were pointless until they weren’t. From talking to assuming extinction is inevitable (which it’s not), to realising why I was always going to be drawn to my favourite human (which was totally actually really new to me in this moment). The point and purpose of sh...

Ep. 53 - "...maybe quiet moments aren't so quiet, but they're (a) key to knowing a know before we can grow." 21.08.2025

You’re most welcome to pop a ponder uttered out loud in your curious ears. Please note and know that this is a thinking thought that has little to no meaning in the world that’s wild and wide until it does. This is a public episode.

Ep. 52 - "...purpose is enough of a pull and a promise to put pants on today." 15.08.2025

Heya wonder-fill human 👋 You’re most welcome to jump into a thinking thought out loud as I share a little line of thinking connecting what we have with what we do and how we can leverage this to have more say in our day-to-day view. Soz it’s a little on the quiet side of sounds, please know this means my insides are screaming and so to speak any louder doesn’t seem possible or practical. Please p...

Ep. 51 - "...it was easy to enjoy the joy in the moment because it was just us." 07.08.2025

You’re invited into a moment where you weren’t welcomed or wanted, but one that is shared with you in mind. It’s a moment that was born and beared pure bliss because it was noticed. The point, the purpose and the promise in this particular conversation is to give you a little of the moment to share enough to enjoy the joy woven into and interwoven the words to carry and convey something you may no...

Ep. 50 - "...saying 'soz' makes my 'sorry' mean more." 31.07.2025

A little language thang that is working for this human that may work for you too. You’re most welcome to jump in and join the conversation about the part sorry plays in our conscious and unconscious utterances. Within these words you’ll learn a little about sorry , even littler about soz, and grow a sense of how they’re different and can be more when they’re applied as shared here. In saying that...

Ep. 49 - "...over thought over thinking until it felt thought over." 26.07.2025

Oh, the bliss and beauty of rhetoric in real life is something that will forever fill one’s cup completely. Talking about the title here of “… over thought over thinking until it felt thought over ” being more than a polyptoton working its wonders in the wild, but just eh joy of knowing that our minds will meander in our ways and days to work with us and it can be only us that says other wise. Her...

Ep.48 1/4 - "...soz, forgot to mention the two things." 19.07.2025

This is a catch up conversation to close a loop opened in our chat yesterday. I mentioned to things I realised while reading Thinking Fast Thinking Slow and totes forgot to circle back to close that loop — if it were a series, it would be a spin off of a supporting character’s life coming into their own. Until when, take a leaf from my language on Friday…keep it loose and love your best life out l...

Ep. 48 - "...I’ve been trialling and testing different ways to talk to topics that are kinda taboo and yet they’re needed and necessary." 17.07.2025

You’re welcome and invited to jump in and join the conversation that’ll be nothing and everything in the long run. Over recently times I’ve been trialling and testing different ways to talk to topics that are kinda taboo and yet they’re needed and necessary 🤭 Because we know what the words are doing here, we use them to ditch the idea of difficult conversations and bring in the curious. This conv...

Ep. 47 - "...leaning in and leveraging a low low is a new kinda cool." 10.07.2025

You’re most welcome to jump in and listen to how I navigated (and continue to navigate) a recent experience and episode of extended deepening depression deep. The repeated sunken sad is super normal for me and now I have enough resources to really realise there is opportunity to leverage these moments and meet them with a task that needs doing which has the same characteristics. Specifically, beca...

Ep. 46 - "...I've learnt how to make an extended moment of melancholy something to enjoy." 04.07.2025

Everything I share is not for show, which means the words will be light has I continue to navigate this moment in real life in real time. You’re most welcome to listen to how I have shapes my experience with prolonged melancholy to be one that borders on being enjoyable. In line with my personal values, this experience has grown, and continues to grow from my need and value of knowing I have a cho...

Ep. 45 - "...having a conversation about conversations can open up conversations." 26.06.2025

You’re most welcome to listen lightly to the idea of inviting a conversation about a conversation not yet conversationed aloud by asking a simple question. So often, almost often, we can walk away from conversations wondering what was not said aloud. You know the kinda conversations where there is the unspoken wanting to be welcomed into the room and yet it can feel a little forced and or weird ju...

Ep. 44 - "...we're not having the right conversations yet." 21.06.2025

You’re most welcome to warm up to the idea with me that that we continue to leak in old ways into our ways and days through the littlest parts of our language languaged out loud. This conversation is for the thinkers who love thinking. This conversation is for those who want a little deliberate ambiguity out loud. This conversation is for those who want a sense of choice where other would say ther...

Ep. 43 - "...looking at ai though the lens of the Luddite may hold more choice in our happy." 13.06.2025

You’re most welcome to walk among these words doing as they have done. As this one human continues to peel back the layers of complexity in our days and our ways, there is a growing knowing in choices being unconsciously silenced aloud. From this conversation I found a connection of one experience I am navigating, namely the over eager insertion of ai into my everyday experience. This conversation...

Ep. 42. - "...maybe our prioritised priorities are the key to peel back the complexity to enjoy new in-betweens." 06.06.2025

You’re welcome to walk among these words with me. It’s funny this conversation came out of no where. It’s this kind of conversation that brings front of mind that we always have a thinking thought, meaning being made, and sense drawing in data through our senses. Growing from the knowing of the ‘in-between’ lens, in this conversation we walk with wonder in what is important and importance in our d...

Ep. 41 - "...maybe the bliss of the in-between is coming at the cost of hacking our human-ing." 29.05.2025

Hello Wonder-Filled Human 👋 This one’s a curious one. It feels like it is what it needs to be for now. And, it feels like there is more to grow in what we know from it. Across this conversation, I look to where we'‘re going… …and immediately take a sharp left. Coming back (thanks to trusting tethers of my notes keeping the promised topic front of mind), I walk us back to the idea of the idea of o...
