In a world that feels like it has been turned on it's head in 2020, people are evaluating their lives more than ever before.
Each Monday, join Tanya Carroll, a long time coach, as she talks with guests who have struggled with, and come out the other side, a journey to live their soul purpose.
If you are wondering what the next step is to take, or you want to hear how others navigated the self doubt, this is the podcast for you!
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, watching a loved one pass away 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.

People have multiple rockbottoms - Jack Nagle
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, that 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.

Behind the scenes coaching the coaches of high performance surf athletes - Gee Cormack
Gee Cormack is one of the world’s best surf coaches. Her programs are being coached all over the world including with the high performance surf athletes of Australia. She is passionate about helping people bring out the best in their surfing, but Gee also works in the mental health space of surf therapy.
Gee established and runs all women’s Surf Chix Surf School on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. This has given women a place where they can feel safe to learn how to surf, from the perspective of women who understand the ocean.
Gee is a highly sought out coach for Smooth Star, a modality that marries surfing to a form of skateboarding that mimics movement in the ocean.
In this episode you will learn:
· How you see yourself when your life changes completely
· Not all mental health therapy works for everyone in the same setting
· How the world of surfing is changing
· Land based training for surfing athletes – how important is it
