Lean In 36: Your Space Special Edition: Opening our capacity to feel, heal and grow
Lean In
Fear is a tricky thing. It shape shifts as many different emotions, experiences, thoughts and even actions. It can get a hold of us and become destructive if we let it, allowing it’s resistance to block us from feeling, seeing and experiencing our own truth. Right now, it feels like the entire world is in a panic, and it’s so hard to see what tomorrow will bring, let alone the future. I know with my whole heart and soul that we were made for these times and I encourage us all to take a collective breath, and let the fear and uncertainty work its way through us. There’s an old saying in...

Storytelling goes far beyond the words of a page. It has the potential to find its way
deep into the insides of our psyches and hearts. It often invites us to question
everything, including our own beliefs. And audio and visual storytelling provides yet
another layer to tantalize our senses and provide a gateway for us to explore a whole
new world.
Fraser Morton is an award-winning multimedia journalist and self-shooting
producer/director who focuses on finding human-interest stories around the world in
film, photography and writing. He spends most of his time on assignments all over the
world looking for people's stories around the themes of adversity and human
connection.
Fraser has worked on film projects for some of the world's most respected media,
including National Geographic, Vice News and was previously a staff producer and
broadcast journalist with Fox International and ESPN. He is also a travel journalist and
former newspaper reporter and writer and has worked on commercial and agency
projects for some of the world’s biggest brands.
Fraser’s work was part of Eco-Business’s larger Changing Course campaign on climate
action. Documenting the ClimateForce: Antarctica 2018 expedition in March led by Sir Robert Swan, a British environmentalist and explorer who was the first man to walk to
both North and South Poles.
Another project, A life Electric, draws upon a hybrid of multimedia techniques to connect
people, communities and society to the “lives of epilepsy”; a multimedia project entering
epilepsy through the doorways of personal experiences. Inspired by his own experience
of losing his brother Blair, the project is a personal for Fraser who was inspired by the
life of his older brother.
In this episode we talk about Fraser’s work, art, travel and writing and how telling
people's stories and the story of Mother Earth has had a personal impact on him.

● What Fraser learnt after 100’s of interviews and hours of research about Epilepsy
● The similarities between living with chronic conditions and the uncertainties that arise with that and what we are all collectively experiencing with COVID-19
