In this episode, Rory Kilmartin, a global thought leader and expert in human relationships, demystifies why relationships can feel so confusing — even with people we love most. Rory has spent over 30 years exploring one of the biggest questions we carry: why we relate to each other the way we do. What started as a childhood curiosity has become a lifelong body of work — bringing clarity to patterns that most of us feel… but can’t quite explain. Rory has worked with people all over the world, and his work helps you see what’s actually going on underneath the surface of your relationships — in a way that’s straightforward, simple, clear, and to the point.   What You'll Learn: * What archetypes are * The 4 different archetypes and common identifying traits * Why some people struggle to make relationships work * How to understand your partner better and strengthen our marriage * How to communicate with the people we love * How this wisdom can help you raise your beautiful children * Sibling rivalry * How to see yourself better through an archetypal lens * Why we burn out in certain jobs * Why things all come to a head in midlife, and * How this wisdom can help us build better communities and societies. We talk about marriage, partnership, work/career, and raising amazing, well-developed kids.  The archetypal task of life is maturation - evolution - and this episode is your guide to understanding yourself and the people you love in the various stages of life.   So as you listen, you might find pieces of your own story coming into focus.

Ep.14 - Natural Building for Healthy Living and Healthy Environments.

Sam Vivers has over 25 years of experience building natural homes.  In 2000, Sam built one of Australia’s first strawbale homes and has since delivered more than 50 strawbale and earth homes, and a further 40 homes using prefabricated straw panels. He is the Director of Viva Living Homes, an environmental building company specialising in prefabricated wall, floor & roof systems for high-performance natural homes and commercial builds.  In this episode, Sam explains what natural building is and shares what you need to know if you want to build a natural home or a natural commercial project.  What You'll Learn: * What natural building is * Some mediums used in natural builds (e.g., strawbale homes, rammed earth, hempcrete, light-straw) * How natural building supports human health * How natural building supports environmental health * The rise of natural building * Prefabrication in natural building * Where people build natural homes * Where to start if you want to build a natural home, and * Some common misconceptions about natural building. Natural building is supported by research, industry developments, and underpinned by centuries of building knowledge.  This means that natural building is a viable option if you want to live in a home that supports your health while reducing the impact of the structure on the environment - both during the build and onwards.  Connect with Sam: Viva Living Homes - https://vivahomes.com.au/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/VivaStrawbaleHomes/ Instagram - @vivahomes_unearthed Email - info@vivahomes.com.au Coach with Melisa: Email - 7genproject@gmail.com Follow the show: Instagram - @live.differently.podcast ********************************************** Music attribution:  "Wallpaper" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)  Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
