Ep225: How To Spot The Signs Your Body Is Breaking Before Your Brain Does
Feb 1500:27:11Tap to summarizeRight after Julie and I came off stage in Narrabri, I got chatting to Malinda, a clinical psychologist who traded the bright lights of London and Sydney to head back to her roots in Narrabri. I asked her if she'd like to join me for an episode about mental health in rural areas, and she said "sure!"We get into the fascinating (and slightly terrifying) way the brain dumps cortisol into the body, causing everything from mysterious rashes to back pain that won't quit.It's a chat about why the "resilient" Aussie attitude is a double-edged sword and why your body might be screaming for help while your brain is telling you to just "suck it up."You can find Malinda at @malindaguest or via https://boundlesspsychology.com/Wanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.

Feb 800:30:27Tap to summarizeI’m sitting in my hotel room in Dubbo after a massive weekend on the road with Jules, reflecting on the day the Podvan became a hub for the coast’s most inspiring side hustlers.First up: Dan, a man who has been a "silent partner" in the show for a year without me ever knowing his name. He’s a garbo by morning and a marketplace hero by afternoon. Then, Mel drops by to explain why my energy levels might be more "giant ball of chaos" than "life force," and McKayla shares the beautiful (and goosebump-inducing) reason she’s taking her scissors out of the salon and into the homes of families who need a completely different approach to a haircut. It’s an episode about people starting things from the heart, over-delivering early, and the dream of turning that "little something on the side" into the main event.Fast Lane DeliveriesIn Harmony QigongSensory HairstylesWanna check out all things Podvan? ⬇️Facebook | Instagram | FB Group | Podvan Website | YouTube | TikTokThis is a Podvan Media production.
