Why You Need A Purpose In Midlife

Having a purpose and being purposeful are two completely different things and you don't need to have a purpose in order to be purposeful.

Many of us (me included) put a lot of effort, energy and angst into trying to figure out what our life purpose is, particularly around midlife. We feel a bit lost, unsure of what we want from life, therefore we must be missing something. 

But what if we don't need to have a life purpose in order to be purposeful? How does that work?

Join me for this look at purpose.

Sitting with our thoughts, self-awareness & belonging With Gaj Ravichandra

French philosopher Pascal in the 19th century had this beautiful quote that I think goes id something along the lines of this: all of the world's problems come from the fact that we cannot sit alone in a room by ourselves with our thoughts. Understanding our behaviours, reactions, our personality is so important, but for a lot of people, sitting with our inner thoughts, and analysing ourselves is one of the most uncomfortable things we will ever do. This week Gaj Ravichandra and I discuss the elements that make our personality, how fear drives our lives and how we are all broken.

How to overcome sadness and the benefits of negative behaviours With Psychologist Romy Kunitz

Healing does not mean remembering to work through it all, because sometimes this is not the best action to take - it can even traumatise us further. If we want to get to place where we have adjusted to a more healthy lifestyle, we must listen to what we need. 

We should focus on is exercises to ground ourselves in the present moment, and recognise when we tend to things that are not good for us or self-destructive. what's important is to be able to do grounding exercises to ground ourselves in the, in the present moment and you know, to recognize when we tend to do things that are maybe self-destructive, not good for. When we acknowledge and we recognise our behaviours, it gives us a lot of answers moving forward. 

Join myself and psychologist Romy Kunitz in this episode, part two of last week's episode "Relationship difficulties, adjustment disorder and repetition compulsion".

Relationship difficulties, adjustment disorder and repetition compulsion With Psychologist Romy Kunitz

Do you consistently repeat bad behaviours or traumatic events? Are you struggling to get over a breakup, a passing of a loved one, or big changes happening in your life?

Romy Kunitz is a highly experienced psychologist who specialises mainly in adults and couple therapy. In this episode she brings her expertise on how to navigate change and stop repeating negative patterns.

Actually, a lot of the time when people are going through trauma, they don't realise they're going through trauma. For example, COVID was a trauma for most people. It has been a massive adjustment for everybody, and with that uncertainty, lack of control and change has caused people to go through adjustment disorder. 

As human beings, we cannot avoid trauma, loss or change, so join myself and Romy in this episode to discuss how best to navigate tough times, overcome repetition compulsion and how to adapt.
