Deep Currents
Do you know who you are in the face of danger? Adam Kavanagh is an Australian survivalist who has dedicated much of the last decade to getting back to basics and living off the land in the remote areas of northern Australia. Initially triggered by a health crisis and then evolving into a way he chose to live, his deep connection to nature has profoundly shaped his understanding of bushcraft and survival skills. Adam was invited to learn and hang out with the Indigenous communities of Doomagee, where he spent nearly five years living solo, aside from the times he spent with the locals....

Michelle Palasia is the first guest on Deep Currents for a very good reason. Deep Currents is all about the stories that connect us and the wisdom that helps us remember who we are and what we are. From my 12 years immersed in Rites of Passage work, I know how babies are born—including the mother’s state, the birth itself, and the care of both mother and baby in the early years—shapes the rest of their lives. In the creation of life, the connection to the core of our Spirit is either nurtured or fractured. This connection is key to our capacity for wholeness, intimacy, relationships,...

After a three-year break from this podcast, it's back. It has a different name, a more refined intention, and is still connected to the art of storytelling. I touch on how currents, vibrations, and resonance are the cause and effect of life itself, taking you on a short journey from the beginning of time. I speak to the power of story and how it has shaped history and our culture. I also discuss how currents, connections, and stories can support us in returning to a deep place of belonging. I share a little about my journey of being smashed into a million pieces by Motherhood and what...

Adam Kavanagh lives like a caveman in outback Australia. He shares how he healed hyperthyroidism, depression and panic attacks when he began living paleo, stipping things back and striping back to the basics.

This episode is vast in its topic and while it begins with the contradictions around some of the principles of psychology, we weave in and out of rabbit holes that most people can relate to including repressed trauma emerging in the *stressful* now of life and toxic bonds in passion relationships.

This is a solo session with a four-step self-assessment of your entire life. How often are we sacrificing happiness, joy, spaciousness, peace, love and orgasms for a cost we will pay 10 x time, at least, sometime in the future? Let's see.

Sammi Jane is a deliciously wise woman who brings light to the consciousness of the womb and its wisdom. And no, you don't need a physical womb in order for this to make sense, matter or tap into the flow of life's infinite energy.

info_outlineBe patient, love.
If you’d like to bloom, you must first be willing to be buried.
Sit in the mud, let it wash over you, let the tears wash you clean, step into the freedom of your pain and let it cleanse you of blame and then, watch your confidence rise up and present itself love.
After overcoming a life full of trauma, physical and sexual abuse, near-death experiences, breaking her back and being widowed, Erika Cramer found herself drowning in pain and sadness trying to numb everything she had been through. These life changing experiences finally lead her to life coaching where she went on a deep path to personal growth and healing. As a confidence coach she is here to guide women to living a life where they seek progress, not perfection. She is taking a bold stand for women owning their throne and reclaiming their confidence.
What I loved most about this episode is that Erika wanted to lick my face and I wanted to lick hers.
Translation: We vibed, and these kinds of conversations are full of flow, soul, insight and deep transformation for listenings.
We touched on:
- How patience and perseverance through the rough shit is where confidence is learnt and cultivated.
- If you dont choose to connect with others through transparency and honesty, you will feel more alone and helpless, and will stunt your expansion and burry your esteem.
- Trust in self and life is built by committing to doing the work, and then acting on it.
- Ownership of your experience should not be as simple as a Pinterest quote on a wall; it's about deep healing, purging and profound insight that comes from all of the above.
- Responsibility is not bypassing; you cannot be grateful and use your painful experiences until you've transcended the hurt and victim mentality.
- Purpose through hardship and experience is the result of first becoming uncomfortable and then choosing, with an attitude of oneness, to share, teach and support others.
It is deeply delicious and it's going to rock your mind and heart. Listen to the episode here:

CHALLENGE
I got so excited that I forgot the challenge questions SO, I'm going to make one for you.
Go and read, “Loving What Is”, by Byron Katie. I'm dead serious, it's a wicked and essential read to accelerating self reflection and self awareness. It's also very freeing.
