Aware Podcast

On this special edition, Nicky is back, and the conversation takes a few twists and turns as we unpack the trend for 'lived experience' as incidental learning that boosts structured training, how mind potentialities are the way we think and not a weakness and why Nicky got told she has a saggy pelvis. We encourage the idea of why you need to 'wilfully put yourself though shit' to become a better leader and poke fun at ourselves in the distraction.

This blast from the not so distant past, finds Nicky and Sarah pondering the adaptability paradox and how to find your north star. Recorded in the 6th lockdown during COVID it is a chat on meta skills and why adaptability is a crucial part of the happiness jigsaw. Sarah offers a moment of enlightenment with a Buddha quote and Nicky is suitably underwhelmed by it!

On this week's show we talk to Susan Jane, nominated for Women in Business Award 2011, Winner of Asian Pacific Stevie Award, founder of IntuitiveNature.com and author of Intuitive Flowers (and podcast host!). Susan talks about the times in her life where her spirit left her body - during a horrific pack rape and a near death experience at work-and how this experience led her to recovery, insight and understanding of the interaction of her physical self and spiritual self. Her path to healing and helping others find their own intuition and insight, has inspired her to share her knowledge and confidence to succeed. Sarah mentions her imaginary friend was called Susan and the scene is set for an interesting interview. Listener discretion is advised in this episode due to the sexual violence and assault discussed.

This week we talk with Vaughan Granger a business man with a keen eye for fashion and styling. Starting with working in his family business, successful and happy he became aware of a restlessness in his life. Searching for his own sense of belonging and purpose, he began to notice another skill- building men's confidence through their clothes and image branding. In a very natural way Vaughan began chasing his dreams with reckless abandon and finding happiness in helping others evolve into their best self. From developing his clients confidence through a personalised style to running businesses, Vaughan is now at the top of his career and enjoying his new purpose.

What happens when you get your dream job, love the life and then the plane crashes, literally. This week's guest Nini Tolson, life coach and business woman, lost her job, her dream, herself and her home. Surviving a plane crash wasn't the end of the trauma for Nini. Two years of rehabilitation and her pregnancy finished her dream job as a flight attendant. She spiralled into a dark emotion space, lost herself and her identity. When a doctor told her she had to find a way back or lose her child she made the decision to fight. Navigating a cultural nonacceptance of recognising mental health, moving countries, going broke, moving again and finding success are all part of her story. Nini leaves nothing on the shelf in this podcast. Raw and very real, she explores being a woman who lost everything and how she now uses that experiences to build other women up. This podcast discusses suicidal ideation and listener discretion is advised.
