12.01.2022 Jack’s first step into the world of addiction was around the age of 12 when he smoked pot behind Chadstone shopping centre with a mate’s older brother’s friends. It quickly escalated into drinking and taking MDMA. By the age of 17 he was a fully blown ice addict stealing from his family to fuel his habit. It was a moment of clarity when he realised he didn’t have enough money to buy a Big M and the symbolism behind that that saw him reach out to his family for help, tha...t started his path to recovery. In this episode Jack and I discuss: The honest reasons why people take drugs Rehabilitation that saves but sometimes keeps people in perpetual fear Alternative methods of recovery that have better outcomes Not seeing relapse as inevitable Changing the underlying programming that fuels the fire of addiction Giving yourself permission to forgive Jack is the kind of person whose story stays with you long after you stop listening to him talk. The fact that he survived addiction, psychosis and his multiple suicide attempts is testament to the fact he was meant to share his story and change the perception of standard addiction treatment. Believing in what you know and what you see to be true, and standing up for what you feel in your gut is the right path, takes courage in a world where people’s lives are at stake.

04.01.2022 In the western world, in my experience, many people have fear around and associated with death and dying. At least this has been my observation. I lost my first husband, Brian, to Melanoma cancer 16 years ago and his passing was far from a celebration of his life. Whilst I am comfortable in the celebration we had at home after his funeral, there are many things that I would change if I could, about the way he passed away. As many people in my community have also witnessed, wa...tching a loved one pass away, via a slow and painful death, is one of the worst experiences you can go through in life. In this episode I speak with Zenith Virago, who is a deathwalker. She is someone I am thrilled to share with you, in the hope that some elements of what we speak about, help spark a conversation for you with your loved ones. We talk about: How a deathwalker can help support you in life and in passing What it means for men to be given the space to show emotion The difference between a policy and a law Voluntary assisted death The topic of death is not easy. No-one wants to cause their loved ones grief at the thought of them not being Earthside in a physical capacity. If there is one thing I have learnt from this conversation it is that we have many more choices than we think we do, when it comes to the legalities of our passing, as well as how we want to be celebrated.
