Goodbye anti-anxiety meds.

The desperately-needed conversation about parenting ft John Cuturilo

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Cuturilo from the Your Listener Podcast about parenting. Raising children will always be perhaps the world's most important job, and it brings joy in to the lives of many. But it also brings with it great responsibilities, including self-regulation, discipline, patience, sacrifice, and empathy. While we may consider becoming a parent to be a natural progression for adults, too many ignore or are unaware of how easy it is to influence their children in undesirable ways that could have consequences for the rest of their adult lives. John and I discuss some of the most important (and sometimes most ignored) issues in the domain, including the need for personal responsibility, informed choice, and conscientiousness in helping children to develop in a psychologically and physically healthy manner.

Spirituality versus science: Are we so different? With John Cuturilo

Are spiritualists just hallucinating? Is living your life by science too rigid? And what exactly is manifesting, and does it have a place in scientific psychology? In this episode, I had the pleasure of collaborating with Life Coach, John Cuturilo. John and I travel out of our comfort zones in to daring intellectual territory. Society is becoming increasingly polarised and the slightest difference between people is treated as cause for major conflict. With Intuitive Reading being considered a spiritual practice by many, and John’s practice being based in Western science, our respective philosophies often don't co-exist peacefully. But we demonstrate that having civil dialogue and exploring some of the most uncomfortable questions together isn't just possible, but a necessary part of a civil society.

Therapist Jaime Simpson on normalising anxiety and co-regulating with your children.

On this weeks episode of the Eb n Flow Podcast, I was privileged to have a chance to sit down with the lovely Jaime Simpson. Jaime is a mother, counsellor, author and academic in the domestic violence, religious trauma and clergy abuse space. In our conversation we talked about her experience navigating the uncharted waters of having a neuro diverse child. And assisting your children to successfully self regulate. It was through this experience that Jaime‘s book A Monster Name Zee was born. As Jamie and her family navigated big emotions like anxiety, storytelling became an integral part of soothing and educating her children on their emotions and how to regulate. Jaime talks to us all about her new book and gives great insight into co-regulating with your children, the importance of normalising feelings like anxiety and how storytelling can be such a powerful tool of healing. This chat was so informative and is a great episode to listen to for any parents and adults in general. It’s time we remove the stigma away from our emotions and learn healthy and productive ways of self soothing and regulating ourselves. I hope you enjoy.
