Listen "9. The Feeling of Disillusion - How to Cope & Still Find Joy in a Changing World"

Episode Synopsis

I am back with a vulnerable & juicy one after a week off sick (thanks for waiting!) - we talk the feeling of disillusion, and how this can affect our mental health. We cover:
- The aftermath of Covid on our working lives, timelines, goals and economic realities
- Mourning 'lost time' and grappling with feelings of being behind or running out of time
- Dealing with biological clocks
- The external pressure of getting back to 'the new normal', and a lack of space for Covid grief
- The loss of the traditional 'Australian dream', and how it has affected young people
- How to reconnect with hope during times that feel inherently hopeless
- How we can use mindfulness and spirituality to recreate meaning
- How to find empowerment in a disempowering society

PhhheeEEEWWWW - if there's one thing about me, it's that I'm gonna say it how it is. No censoring, no pandering, no BS. Let's GO.

Show notes:

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
A Beginner's Guide to Chakras (because I am seriously fascinated by how much these overlap with the Hierarchy of Needs)
Acumen Academy - free personal & professional development courses
