Melinda Chinen ~ Grief, Curiosity & Watercolour Painting

Join us today as we journey to O'ahu & beyond with Melinda to explore her world of Grief, Curiosity & Watercolour Painting. Melinda grew up in a very caring and spiritual family in Hawai'i, leading naturally into exploring a career in social work and service. After the death of her best friend and soulmate Paige, she discovered Life Coaching in the depths and midst of learning that grief was now her lifelong companion. Through that certification she found a new way to be of support and service, through Grief Coaching. Along the way of rediscovering a wider definition of self-care she has leant into her passion for creativity through watercolour painting, which she now practices as an artist and teacher ~ blending her human wisdom with creative dreaming. Melinda believes that there is one similarity shared among all her clients, that we are able to have it all when we stop forcing life and fall into our nature. Join us for an episode that navigates comfort zones, sensitivity, life, death, grief, silence and how we can soften into all that life offers us... including loss.

Nick "Duggie" Dugmore ~ Winemaking, Cancer & Living Mindfully

Join us today as we journey to Kangaroo Island & South Australia with Duggie to explore his world of Winemaking, Cancer & Living Mindfully. Whether winemaking, spending time with his young family out in nature or advocating for awareness and change in the connection between glyphosate exposure and cancer... Nick "Duggie" Dugmore is an example of someone who has woken up to the reality of his mortality and lives strongly in alignment with what matters ~ to him. Tracing back his late stage cancer diagnosis to acute chemical exposure doing what he loves, he stands as an example of what's possible when we lean in, rather than out, of what we can do to change the world. He reminds us that being healthy isn't just "not being sick"... instead it's a holistic representation of our relationship with ourselves, eachother and the world... both inside & out. Join us as we see what happens when someone living with Stage 4 Cancer reflects on his life, passions, the realities of being human and what's available to us once we realise our time here is finite. How? By exploring how Duggie is uniquely turning his recreation into re~creation for the world. Explore More...

It’s never too late to support ~ whether with your time, voice, money or action ~ it’s all good & it’s all meaningful. Visit their websites directly to find out how you can support their unique versions of re~creation. You may have noticed that this season is six episodes again - I'm trying something new. I'm fully going with the flow. Rather than frantically seeking guests, I'm letting them come to me naturally. That means, I'm not focused on an episode per month ~ instead I'm letting the right people find this opportunity at the right time. These six conversations were just right for this year. I'm excited to see who is meant to be here next! This podcast continues to evolve & grow as I do. Since the beginning, I have endeavoured to bring my full presence to these conversations, even though they take place thousands of miles apart. My intention has been to raise awareness of people who are truly authentic to who they are, staying curious & using their uniqueness to bring positive change in so many diverse ways around the world ~ on a personal to the transpersonal level. I know that these conversations have inspired me to continue this way of being in my own life & I hope that you have also taken your own meaning from the conversations offered here. For those who are new here, I hope you will take the time to listen to these episodes that explore how each guest has turned recreational activities into personal purpose and maybe even profession in order to create meaningful change for our world by inspiring positive environmental & social change. As we reflect on the past year, may we find gratitude for all we've experienced. As we listen, let’s allow our imaginations to run free as we dream about what is possible for ourselves & the world in this next trip around the sun!
