Synopsis
Ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of successful people with personal freedom that are a little left of field? Amber Hawken has. As a mindfulness-based psychotherapist and author of a number one best selling book on connection, vulnerability and fulfilment, Amber deconstructs the internal workings, emotions, beliefs, techniques and wisdom of radical people.Guests share the collective success because of this paradox: simultaneously living in self-alignment and divergence to social norms. In short: interesting people spilling their guts. Conversation topics are limitless and unadulterated: wealth, sex and relationships, entrepreneurship, creative genius, social enterprises, psychic skills, business growth, bio-hacking, meditation, psychology, discipline and flow, spirituality, music, fame and more. These interviews are designed to get you up close and personal with these people, plugging you into their dimension and speciality; self-mastery and growth via auditory osmosis.

14 | Jason Malouin | Photographic Inception of Connection and Communication | Just Be You Podcast
16/10/2017 Duration: 01h41sToday I have one of the world's best portrait photographers, Jason Malouin and we dive deep into effective communication and impacting the world through the inception of visual connection. I feel so freaking blessed when it comes to podcasting, because I become profoundly more wise - via the wisdom of my guests - after every conversation. Today some of the mind blowing points include: Why all connections are not equal and how the level of connection really matters. How to ask the right questions to help the people you are trying to help. How and why assumptions suck. What you think matters is more than likely not what anyone else finds valuable. Divine moments are captured via the intuitive ‘moments before’. How to communicate effectively. How a few quick mini wins can take you through the armour of trying to get it all perfect. Understanding that how we think we are portraying ourselves is not how we are actually seen. It’s the micro details in our expression that hold power. You cannot demand genuine or

7. Nicky Mih | Sex Trafficking, Perspective and Courage | BU Podcast
31/03/2017 Duration: 01h02minDid you know.... That a sex trafficking victim is often raped 10-20 times a day, so in a period of 6 months that’s anywhere between 1,800 to 3,600 times? What about the fact that at around 20 years of age, after a lifetime of her body being purchased at the price of a cup of coffee, she is simply released, for she is no longer fresh and thus deemed useless in the trafficking industry? How about the fact that whenever a girl is rescued from sex trafficking, that another is plucked from for her life to replace her, and that rescuing while a miracle in itself, doesn’t end the problem? Out of all the 100’s of organisations in Cambodia, none of them at this point, focus on prevention alone in a systemised, focused way. Except, Free To Shine. Free To Shine is a child protection organisation preventing children from being trafficked into the commercial sex industry, in Cambodia. The hero behind Free To Shine Nicky Mih is such a powerful, humble and inspiration being. She teaches us that you do not need to know how

9. Tessa Alexa |From Psychologist to Lightworker | BU Podcast
08/03/2017 Duration: 46minThe moment I want introduced this woman, I knew I needed her on the show. There are at least three one lines in this interview that hit me right in the soul. One being: “What if we didn’t have to break down to break through?”. Tessa is the kind of being that makes you want to throw your fears to the side and go after your dreams. Why? Because she is a woman who has dragged her heart, mind and soul, through the trenches of transformation, coming out the other side to walk her talk consistently. This is rare. This is the kind of interview that has the potential to help awaken something much deeper and more fulfilling inside of anyone who listens. This interview is a great insight into “spirituality” in todays world and how it is something quite common, practical and easily applied into our lives if we see it as a way of being, rather than a way of “appearing” to the rest of the world. After years of experience in youth work, asylum seeking, refugee support work and pilot parenting, Tessa burnt out i

6. Emily Ann Peterson | When You World and Purpose Come To A Shaking Halt | BU Podcast
08/03/2017 Duration: 52minEmily Anne Peterson is the kind of woman that people make movies about. Emily is a bravery expert. Her life is jaw dropping. Well, more correctly, the way she chooses to live it is. The way she has dealt with one of the most confronting experiences that one could face; having (what seemed like her entire purpose) stripped from her. The woman also did a TEDx talk. Another reason why she is my hero. She was once a full-time cellist and cello teacher. But in December of 2013, she was diagnosed with a degenerative, hereditary, neurological tremor in her right hand, her bow hand. She called it her other biological clock. As you can imagine, it was shattering news for her. Of course, she handled it like a boss. And this is exactly why you need to listen to this episode. There comes a time in all our lives where we are faced with a make or break moment. We learn so much from how Emily managed not only an eating disorder, but a tremor that brought her dreams (at the time) to a halt. My fav take aways in this ep

5 Kurt Iwanina | Spirituality For Dummies | BU Podcast
08/03/2017 Duration: 01h05minSpirituality for Dummies In this episode I interviewed someone close to my heart and my life, my very first and only mediation teacher (besides myself course). Meditation Medi-what? Meditation. It saved, my arse, every single time I thought I was going to lose my shit… It’s like a condom, kind of just sits in your back pocket seemingly useless, until you need it and then BAM! It’s a fucking life saver. When my mum passed When I broke up with my boyfriend of three years When I got a $3000 unexpected bill at Christmas When I looked in the mirror and realised my skin was breaking out from cortisol overdose When I need to sleep When I lost belief in myself. Meditation is always there/here. I drilled Kurt like a sergeant, and these are just some of the big bombs we drop in this episode: What is meditation? What is energy? What are chakras? What is the ego? What is our soul? Where did we come from? What’s the point of life? What can you do right now to start to connect more closely with yourself an

2. Josh Jones | Just Be Nice - Doing Social Enterprises The Nice Way | Bu Podcast
08/02/2017 Duration: 55minEach of us are born with a desire to help another fellow being. It is engrained into our DNA. The feeling of fulfillment we experience in life is equal to a combination of the connection we have with ourselves and the amount we connect with and help others. In the 21st century, there is saturation of entrepreneurs and concurrently entrepreneurs telling other entrepreneurs they should find their purpose and leave their day job. Well, guess what, maybe, just maybe some people suit a 9-5. In-fact, Josh and I discuss how such a small percent of people suit the so called 'entrepreneur' lifestyle. There are a lot people in need of support throughout Australia and Josh Jone’s #JBNproject (Just Be Nice) are a team of dedicated people doing just that. They take things to the next level with an incredible philosophy about making it easy to give. Josh chats about how it's taken a whole lotta elbow grease, failures and discovering what doesn't work, a decades experience in social enterprises and a lot of a heart. In thi
