The Collective Wisdom Podcast with Cat Preston

Sheila Glass: Masterly Inaction

This week Sheila Glass, otherwise known as my mum, challenges the rules by giving 2 songs for the collection. She also tells her stories of kindness and wisdoms learnt. Sheila is an incredibly community spirited person, we talk about the challenge of changing the status quo, and not always accepting the way things are as the only option available. We also talk about how small gestures such as friendly phone calls or an offer of help with shopping can make a real difference in generating a sense of community and connection. Something that I think we're all craving right now.

Anne Roche: 5 Walk through it not around it.

This week Anne Roche shares her stories, a very topical song selection and wisdom she has learnt along the way. As a life coach Anne Roche partners with her clients to bring out the best in them. She cuts through the bullshit and helps them get out of their own way and reach their goals. There's a sense of fun she brings to everything that she does, and it's so magnetic. In today's episode, we talk about the challenge of getting out of your own way and explore the concept of paradox. What it is to hold two seemingly opposite things as both true. We also talk about the power of effective listening and truly as a master at it. If you listen carefully, you'll notice in the interview how much she acknowledges what I've said to her and validates it, and how much as a result she elicits from me as an interviewer about what I really think. That's one of her superpowers and she does it instinctively to open up true dialogue and find meaningful connection.

Bhavini Vyas: Just Breathe.........

This week Bhavini Vyas shares her stories, nuggets of wisdom and song choices with The Collective Wisdom Podcast. Bhavini is an amazing singer songwriter who lives and breathes radical empathy. She's taken this concept of helping people and build it into her life and her work. She is the embodiment of how purpose in life isn't something you do, it's a state of being. Listen as Bhavini shares a short meditation at the beginning of the interview, noticing your breathing is such a simple but powerful tool that you can carry around with you wherever you happen to be. I wanted to share with you her approach. It's one that she uses and teaches others to use to find common a storm and connect with herself. I hope you'll agree it's a beautiful way to start the day.

Nadine Kelly: Nothing Lasts. Live Everyday That Way.

Telling her stories to The Collective Wisdom Podcast is Nadine Kelly. Nadine is a fully trained medic, who 10 years ago gave up being occupied with death and disease as a pathologist and started using her incredible talents as a health and wellness coach, focusing instead on a holistic approach to our health and prevention of disease. Nadine and I talked about the many, many celebrations and milestones that have been missed this year, including graduations and the usual rites of passage that give us the chance to acknowledge our young people and their achievements. But we also talked about her own challenge when it came to leaving behind her identity as a pathologist in a white coat and follow a path perhaps closer to her heart.

Nick Phillips: Communication is Kind

Telling his stories to The Collective Wisdom Podcast this week is Nick Phillips. Nick’s stories and the wisdom they contain within them about communication being kinder than not saying anything. Even when, or maybe especially when, it is a profoundly difficult conversation is something that will stay with me for a very long time. We talked about identities we adopt and how difficult it is sometimes to change them once they're set. Nick was also kind enough to talk about the experience of losing his mum when he was 13, and the letter she wrote to him before she died.
