Real Time Heart-Based living

Send us Fan Mail We often hear the term in relation to organisations who operate with a bias that is not disclosed, however leads to a personal gain or profit.  In this podcast we discuss how conflicts of interest are actually found in all areas of life. For example how often do we see that people make suggestions, push for an outcome, or coerce for reasons that bring personal gain?  It may not be...

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast we look at how the notion of 'being polite' has impacted our ability to bring our truth and discernment with the truth in what we see around us.    In many instances we have come to see politeness as a sign of 'many things good' including respect, kindness, duty.  However is that really true?  And will politeness help us to determine what is rea...

Send us Fan Mail Once again, how the use of certain words can lead us astray and fuel perspectives that may not reflect what actually exists. IN this podcast, we look at how the word ’too’ is used, and what we can listen out for when we do. There are so many incidental ways we can improve, many of which are alternatives to what you may believe is the way. How do you feel about what we have shared?...

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast titled ‘Why Labels for Ourselves and Others are Limiting,' Tricia and Nigel look at the how the words, ‘I am...’ can contribute to a more fixed view.  In the quest for honesty and what is real, telling yourself 'I am (funny, caring, compassionate, happy or any other label)' may inhibit noticing and expressing what is actually felt and happening for y...

Send us Fan Mail This podcast is intended to provide an alternative approach to New Year’s Resolutions.  How do you feel?

Send us Fan Mail Here we chat about how we come to do a lot of ‘telling’ in our communication. We have come to take on board what others are ‘telling us’ and from that, we seem to shape our lives and behaviours around that. How often do we listen and believe what others tell us without really exploring what that is for ourselves.  Have we lost our ability to discover to better understand with open...

Send us Fan Mail Here we discuss the impact of updating our knowledge so that we can being new practices to our life that may be more helpful to our wellbeing and bring better self care.  So often we stick to habits and ways that have actually become outdated, without realising.  We hope there are a few clues as to what might help you discover new ways that work for you not against you.  In these...

Send us Fan Mail How often do we hear in ourselves and others, the expression, ‘I’ve let someone down.’ Here we chat about how these words themselves, can have us feel and carry a massive weight with us! And is it really an accurate reflection of the situation?   Often behind any of our actions and choices, there are other factors that play a role in the outcomes, yet we don’t always see that. If...

Send us Fan Mail Tricia and Nigel look at the impact that incentives are having on people.  They share what they have noticed about the challenges associated with using this approach to boost aspects of performance.  Some of the current incentive schemes have been ‘normalised’ as the way it is, and we hardly question or choose to do it differently.  What is that?  Let us know your thoughts. 

Send us Fan Mail Tricia and Nigel chat about the changing nature of client service, and the impact it is having on the community.  In the past, client service was personal. It gave people the opportunity to have conversations and share their experience and feelings.  Nowadays, it has become more automated, to bring efficiencies to improve profit and outcomes.  Is this approach, affecting an organi...

Send us Fan Mail Tricia and Nigel share their views when on feeling like you don’t fit in or feeling isolated or excluded from groups or situations.  They share how as humans it is natural that we want to feel connected with others and sometimes this may lead us to try hard to act or behave in ways that help us be accepted. We may even do things that don’t really align with us and deep down it doe...

Send us Fan Mail Over the years as we continue to satisfy our basic human need to belong, it seems we are searching for ‘how to be’ so that we ‘fit’. When we don’t gain the acceptance or feel we are not liked by others, we often ‘try’ something else, as we seek the elusive ‘something’ that will lead to our happiness. In this podcast, Tricia and Nigel have a chat about finding a more authentic sens...

Send us Fan Mail It is evident that relationships today can be challenging for all sorts of reasons. Past hurts, and ways we have come to behave in relationships, can affect the quality of our engagement and often can create situations that can harm both parties involved.  This situation is one that we often hear about, so what is a heart-based living approach for both parties in this situation. 

Send us Fan Mail We had a concern from someone who mentioned they were upset about a friend who no longer contacted them in the same way, and they were quite distressed about it.  Nigel and Tricia spoke about this situation, and brought some Heart-Based Living approaches to it, which hopefully if you are experiencing something similar, you may find something helpful to observe in your own situatio...

Send us Fan Mail If we aim to get to the heart of the matter, with what matters, it is helpful to challenge misconceptions and habits we have come to see as ‘just the way it is’.  So this chat is around ‘busyness’.  So often we hear or say ourselves, ‘I’m so busy’ in a way that suggests we’re missing out on something else more important because of it.  If that is the case, rather than ‘so busy’, h...

Send us Fan Mail Heart-Based Living and Promises  If we are truly ready to move to Heart-Based Living, looking at ‘words’ and their meanings and the impact they have on the way we live, is helpful.  We decided to look at the word ‘promise’ and some of the challenges this brings.  We look at alternative ways of expressing which includes stating an intention rather than a promise. Sometimes what you...

Send us Fan Mail How do we live from the heart?  Part of that is about being able to freely express what is in your heart. So how do we do that, without falling into patterns that takes us away from bringing care to ourselves and others?  In this chat, we look at noticing the difference with expression and the repetitive unhelpful and often negative narratives, we tend to stay in.  Noticing, may b...

Send us Fan Mail While finding meaning can have its benefits, creating meaning also comes with some challenges. Nowadays we are exposed to so much through various outlets, that may generate meanings that lead to actions and often non action, both of which may not serve us well. Meaning as we know is derived from our lived experience, and as we all experience life differently, finding common meanin...

Send us Fan Mail Having hope can feel difficult when so many challenging things are at the forefront in these times. With heart based living, we see it is important to experience and express your true emotions, hence we see having hope is not trying to feel happy or hopeful when that is not the experience.  So how does hope genuinely arrive?  We chat about the value of exploring what is genuinely...

Send us Fan Mail We know there is a lot of value held around learning, and the concept of life long learning held in positive regard.  We thought we’d share a discussion around the nature of the learning, and how it is possible that to actually walk away with a learning that may not be beneficial to us, or may limit our growth in some way.  It highlights some considerations around learning, which...

Send us Fan Mail In this podcast we share our view on the nature of rules we have come to live by, and the impact of those rules when we come to experience life and engage in things.  We share what to watch out for in yourself to notice when you have moved into a more restricted and limited way of living.  We share the importance of developing a trust and sense to guide you for your safety and wel...

Send us Fan Mail There is a lot of talk about what we need to do to be happy, successful, wealthy and the list goes on.  So often there are lists from research or what others have found worked for them, and in many instances, people try to follow some of those things in the hope they too will get the same results.  We have found, in so many instances, it actually leads to the opposite, as often th...

Send us Fan Mail There is a lot said about beliefs and this conversation opened up a trail of thought about the notion of ‘emerging truths’.  We often hear about the positive view and value of ‘sticking by your beliefs’.  We explored the limitations that comes with more fixed approach to beliefs and chatted about how when open to see things differently, ‘emerging truths’ unfold, and old beliefs an...

Send us Fan Mail Trust is a word often used, and we thought we’d have a conversation around how we see it in terms of a heart based living approach.  As trust often revolves around what we believe, it becomes clear how we can gain or lose trust, as our many life experiences has us all with varied beliefs in a broad range of areas.  So what is trust? Nigel and Tricia have a natural flowing conversa...

Send us Fan Mail Nigel and Tricia discuss heart-based kindness versus niceness.  In life, we are regularly caught up in systems that are meant to be helpful however often lack the flexibility and capability to accommodate unique and specific needs.  Help is often provided with politeness, doing things with a smile, adhering to protocols however the systems themselves often lack a human approach. ...
