Your Listener

About Your Listener

John Cuturilo, the counsellor of Your Listener Counselling in Melbourne, Australia, is the host of the Your Listener podcast. Discussing psychological topics including mental health, critical thinking, and social matters, he presents unique insights. Rather than lecturing coercively on what to believe, filling his discussions with provocative language or quotes from famous people, or political rhetoric, John explains how our minds work and the impact of this on how we operate individually and socially. He often helps his audience to realise that what we assume are truths are often ideas resulting from errors in thinking — to which all of us may fall subject. Through this, John encourages critical thinking, accepting responsibility for our flaws, the separation of criticising ideas from judging people, exercising our minds, and finding ways to live in harmony with and learn from each other rather than avoiding those who think differently. He also believes in helping his audience to develop more detailed, complex knowledge, rather than overly simplifying concepts to the extent that they become empty slogans. He maintains that while the quest for truth may never be completed, we should still strive to learn of it as only by doing this will we be the most independent and astute possible thinkers. If you have an idea for an episode, or would like to appear as a guest or collaborate, contact John to introduce yourself! John welcomes people of a broad range of backgrounds for discussion.

   What Feng Shui actually means, with Danijela Šaponjić

   I provide my content free of charge. If you enjoy it and want to show your appreciation, please consider making a small donation — I appreciate it! Donate at the following link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3LY8DB82U3EMS (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3LY8DB82U3EMS) I thank Finding Solutions Counselling for their partnership. Find them here: www.findingsolutionscounselling.com.au (http://www.findingsolutionscounselling.com.au) In this episode, I welcome my guest Danijela Šaponjić. Danijela is a Feng Shui and SpaceHealing Master, four-time author, and the founder of Unfolding Space and the School of Spiritual Design. For more than twenty years, she has helped people transform their homes, businesses, and lives by working with the energy of space, and today she trains a new generation of practitioners to do the same. Her work reframes Feng Shui not as superstition, but as a grounded philosophy of life ― one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, tools for creating clarity, abundance, and lasting change. In this episode, we discuss what Feng Shui actually means, and reveal once again how spirituality and science have more in common than people assume.

   Body positivity nuances with Nicole Ternay

   I provide my content free of charge. If you enjoy it and want to show your appreciation, please consider making a small donation — I appreciate it! Donate at the following link: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3LY8DB82U3EMS (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=3LY8DB82U3EMS) I thank Mackie Road Neighbourhood House for their partnership. Find them here: www.mackierdnh.org.au (http://www.mackierdnh.org.au) In this episode, I welcome my guest Nicole Ternay. Nicole is a speaker, coach, and thought leader dedicated to helping women stop self-abandoning and rise into the women they were always meant to become. After more than 24 years in the weight loss industry, Nicole uncovered a truth that changed the direction of her work: lasting transformation is never just about food, exercise, or the number on the scale. It begins with mindset. This realisation evolved her work beyond weight loss into personal growth and identity transformation. Through her signature membership, MavenHeart, Nicole helps women rebuild the most important relationship they will ever have: the relationship with themselves, so they can stop abandoning their needs, reclaim their power, and step boldly into their next chapter. Nicole is a two-time TEDx speaker and the host of two podcasts: the highly-ranked Weight Loss for Women Over 40, and the new MavenHeart Podcast. Nicole’s expertise has been featured in Medium, Women’s Health, IDEA Fitness Journal, Rachael Ray In Season, Real Simple, Runner’s World, Bicycling, and MSN. In this episode, we discuss the nuances of the body positivity movement often ignored in mainstream discussion.
