Aging is Living with Ashton Applewhite

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

07/31/23 • 50 min

An internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism. She speaks widely at venues that have included the TED mainstage and the United Nations, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it.
Here’s an excerpt from her website home, which hit me smack between the eyes, and was a spectacular leaping off point for our chat:
"It’s not HEALTHY to go through life dreading our futures.
It's not being women that makes life harder for women, it is sexism.
It is not loving a man that makes life harder for gay guys, it is homophobia.
It’s not the passage of time that makes getting older so much harder than it has to be, it is ageism.
DISCRIMINATION IS THE PROBLEM, NOT AGING. Makes barriers acceptable. Shame and fear creates markets, and capitalism always need new markets.
Aging is not a problem to be fixed.
It is a natural, powerful, lifelong process.
In this ep, we speak about:
- Who benefits from ageism and all other isms
- Ashton’s response to the concept of “anti-aging” in the beauty industry
- Her perfectly put response to someone asking “Is that appropriate at your age?”
- How the older the person, the less their age reveals about them — because we grow more different from one another over time.
- Challenging the status quo of aging is negative to “aging is living”
And so much more status-quo challenging gold.

Leaning in to Love with Elle Steele

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

01/30/23 • 61 min

Elle Steele is a 5-time Australian Swimming representative, Paralympian and Gold medalist, who now works in the personal development space as The Self Belief Agent, energy healer and motivational speaker. Born with a congenital disability called Arthrogryposis, Elle’s life has been full of moments of great joy and sadness due to the continual change in her physical capabilities.
Living on the Surf Coast in Victoria, Elle’s life mission is to show others that despite all the heartache we may face, if we can be brave to heal our hearts, the ripple effect of this will help to heal the world.
Oh My Stars - you know when you have those "relationships" with someone on social media and you've watched so much of their content, it's totally like you have already met them, and then you realise you haven't and they're not aware that their your insta BFF? Well that was me and my Elle Steele "relationship" so it was a whole new level of treat to meet this spunk of a soul today and record our episode.
We cover so much ground in this one - all the way from spiritual awakenings, disability "decision makers", and Elle's first download of her Starseed origins, including:
- The journey from a Australian repping, Paralympian sporting career to the shoulder injury which led to Elle's connection to her psychic abilities gifts and a beautiful Christmas shopping story of her connection with her also-psychic grandfather
- How Elle chooses to lean into love as opposed to anger when met with ignorance or increased attention of her body, and how choosing this response allows love and curiosity to flow to her in turn
- How Elle's congenital disability literally shaped her first seconds here on earth and impacts of living in a body which happens to have a disability in a society which (still in 2023, which is totally gob-smacking to me!) automatically labels disability as a negative thing and different bodies as wrong
- How Elle is now "out and proud" with all aspects of herself including both her professional business background and her psychic nature, but how this was not always the way. We also go on a thought-provoking tangent around how Self Belief has to be the foundation for business.
- How right in the middle a fave movies, that Elle received the very first download of information from the Pleiades and her realisation she was a Starseed who chose to create controversy and invite people to heal themselves as a gateway to healing the Collective

S5E16: On Living Well After Trying to Die with Monica Climaco

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

04/21/25 • 64 min

*Trigger Warning*: a heads-up that this episode includes a discussion about su*cide. We approach the topic with care and compassion, but please use your discernment and prioritise your wellbeing.

Monica Climaco (she/they) is a queer, immigrant, neurodivergent somatic practitioner, coach, artist, and activist. Her purpose on earth is to enjoy life being as true to herself as possible, with the hopes that people feel they can be true to themselves as well. Weaving movement, writing, art-making, play, improv, and other creative modalities into her practice, she believes that radical embodied authenticity and aliveness are foundational for healing, transformation, and collective liberation.
As a survivor of su*c*de attempts, Monica is also devoted to providing support and safe spaces for fellow survivors to strengthen their relationships with their reasons to stay, in a world that gives so many to go. Monica has been coaching since 2020, and studying, practicing, and sharing about somatics since 2023.

This is such a beautiful episode with a wise, wild woman, where Monica so generously shares:

her experience with living through the experience of depression and suicide attempts
the role somatic accessing and reweaving and the interplay of mind, body, heart and soul has played in her journey
some of the common sterotypical misconceptions around somatic coaching and a beautiful reclamation around [somatics = sovereignty]
how choice, power, control and feeling the pain of living out of connection with exiled parts of ourselves who just want to be seen and tended to
a delicious discussion around the simple power of naming our feelings and emotional responses and honouring the full spectrum of our human experience

Whose rules are these anyway? with Kylie Patchett

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

12/19/22 • 39 min

Back with the final solo episode for 2022, Kylie asks "Whose rules are these anyway?", and explores:
- the "sticky note" you were labelled with in your family (or caregivers) of origin and how this role came with a set of rules you were taught to follow in order to gain love and acceptance (or conversely negative attention) in this family system
- an example of Kylie's sticky note of the "smart one" and how this devolved into patterns of perfectionism, workaholism and a disconnect from head, heart and soul as a result
- how to tell if this is a rule or knowing from your Higher Self, or a rule from a care giver / family member which is costing you way too much in the here and now
- A simple yet powerful reframing exercise to challenge these rules one by one to discover their source, their innate expectations and what they are costing in your current reality
- Kylie's wish for you as we draw 2022 to a close, for love and peace and connection, a circle of support, and the space and grace to take stock of the past 12 months and appreciate all you have grown through and all you are grateful for

The Menopausal Magic of "I have arrived" with Jeanne Cotter

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

01/09/23 • 66 min

Jeanne is a friend I knew on the Sunny Coast yonks ago and have reconnected with since she moved into my neighbourhood a bit over a year ago. She's 61 and she's the perfect example of who I want to be when I grow up - radiant, joyful, unapologetically her Full Self! She also happens to be an amazing artist, and someone who has reignited in me a deep yearning for creativity just for the sake of play and self expression.

In our episode, Jeanne and I dive into so much - menopause, marriage, manifesting, and all sorts of magic- including:

Jeanne's first (abusive and dysfunctional) marriage at 21, swiftly followed by a baby at 23 and divorced at 24, and a second (stale, dysfunctional) marriage at 25 which lasted for 26 years; and how when her youngest left home she decided to leave too.

how a deep knowing that it was time to be free and finally find out how to be by herself emerged from the culmination of quitting smoking (Jeanne says healing addiction creates so much more space in the mind and it was on quitting that she found her superpowers), her Dad being critically ill and her failing marriage

the leap of faith that saw Jeanne start her own graphic design business, and how hard and lonely that was at times, but how her drive for security drove her early business journey and money making drive

all the subsequent nudges, Universal winks and gut-led leaps which has led Jeanne to not only circle back to living in the same city she raised her small children in, but also meet her husband and find her dream house

how Jeanne asks her angels and guides for specifically what she wants, and the very detailed manifestation list - including perfect teeth! - that led her to meet her soul mate Brian and get engaged after a whirlwind 3 month courtship

how as part of her journey, she discovered art, which had always been part of her in many different ways through her life, and how she described discovering in her late 40s soft pastels as "feeling like something had woken inside of her"

Jeanne's firm anchor belief that by trusting serendipity or coincidence to work it's magic, your life will unfold as its meant to and how trusting herself finds her at 61, blessed to be living her best life with gratitude and joy.

You can find Jeanne's divine art skills - including online tutorials at Delicious Art.
** Please note that due to first day back for 2023 recording this interview and two others have a few sound quality challenges for me the host ... ooopsie! Please listen past them and enjoy this episode nonetheless and be assured that we're back to high quality after this wobble! **

This is NOT for your Enterpainment with Ann Marie McQueen

Wild + (finally fcking) Free: Real, Raw Stories of the Disruptors, Rebels + Revolutionaries

03/27/23 • 84 min

Ann Marie McQueen has focused on the spectrum of complementary and mainstream health care for much of her 25-year journalism career. She has worked as a national columnist for Sun Media in Canada, was part of the launch team and served as news, arts and life, and features editor for The National newspaper in the UAE, and was the first solar columnist in the Gulf. Ann Marie is the founding editor-in-chief of Live healthy, the only health and wellness platform for men and women in the Middle East.
Ann Marie launched Hotflash inc in June 2020 to cover the latest clinical studies, treatments, products, guidance and more via a weekly research letter, podcast and across social media. Hotflash inc subscribers include some of the top CEOs, doctors and other practitioners in the space, alongside curious, open-minded women and other folks seeking to connect the dots and find their own solutions, all part of a fast-growing 20k+ global community living across 40+ countries.
I have been looking forward to this chat for such a long time - Ann Marie writes and interviews with such detailed understanding of the menopause and such a balanced viewpoint - no sensationalism journalism or taking out of context in sight.
We speak about:
- How at 47 years of age, Ann Marie became aware that the weird cluster of symptoms she had been experiencing (panic attacks, waking from nightmares, heart palpitations, waves of crying and anxiety) since about 42 was all part of her own menopause experience
- Ann Marie’s history of making her painful experience into what she calls “enterpainment” and how the sense of shame around and diminishing of these experiences for years has culminated in a lot of these early traumatic events and situations bubbling to the surface during perimenopause
- How Ann Marie feels like she may well be in the final stretch of Menopause and has the sense that whilst her emotional peaks are intensifying, the physical stuff seems to be calming down a little
- A deep dive into perimenopausal “scratchiness”, and our sense of going into a cave during this transition time, and how we both feel it is a powerful portal of rebirthing ourselves which is both necessary and beautiful (whilst also messy and discombobulating!)
- Ann Marie’s kitchen clean out analogy of menopause - and how right now I have all the sizzle out of every cupboard and every drawer in my metaphorical kitchen but no energy to even work out what to keep, what to chuck and where the heck to file everything.

During this episode Mariska and I chat about:
- What she describes as her big leap, which led to a deep hole which she is now very proud to have climbed out of, and the breadcrumbs of this road which have ultimately led to her delivering her writing gifts to the world.
- Her dislike of labels (bios included) and how these feel like unattainable, unreachable (not to mention boring!) boxes which limit her self-expression- Seeking worth outside of herself, and the feeling of “fumbling around in the dark trying to find the worthiness switch”, despite living an outwardly successful academic career and achieving a PhD in sustainable agriculture.
- The next step after academic career, which including qualifications in many coaching modalities and another dark moment of the soul in terms of physical and financial burnout
- The unfurling of Mariska’s pattern of waiting for someone else to bestow her worth or their approval, her subsequent allergy to institutions and the freedom this has opened up for her as an author
- And the guiding light of Mariska speaking about how alive and real her characters are to her, anyhow this is the culmination of all the precious things that brought her deep contentment and joy from her childhood.
