Tam Callaghan sits down with her friend and former colleague Kate Fandry for a wide-ranging, deeply honest conversation about late ADHD diagnosis, what it actually feels like to finally have an explanation for a lifetime of experiences, and how Kate is channelling everything she's learned into a brand new career as a celebrant.  Kate was diagnosed with ADHD, OCD, and as a Highly Sensitive Person after an epic burnout that had been building for years. In this first part they cover what the signs looked like in childhood, how hyperactivity presents differently in girls, what Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria actually feels like day to day, how to manage sensitivity without shutting yourself down, and why so many neurodiverse people are drawn to each other.  They also get into managing news consumption, parenting a sensitive child, environmental sensitivities, and the pivotal moments that led Kate to retrain as a celebrant.  Warm, funny, and genuinely eye-opening whether you have a diagnosis or simply recognise yourself in parts of what Kate describes.  Part 2:   In this episode:  Late diagnosis vs late onset: why the distinction matters  The burnout that finally led to Kate's diagnosis  Childhood signs: incessant talking, hyperactivity, and coping strategies in girls  The artist sitting story and what it reveals  Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria: what it is and what it feels like in real life  Managing sensitivity through boundaries and self-love  Environmental sensitivities: lighting, noise, smell  The 'porous' feeling and how to manage news consumption  ADHD, OCD and the Highly Sensitive Person diagnosis combined  Becoming a celebrant: why it fits and how she got there  Fuzzy visioning: how ADHD brains plan for the future  ADHD strengths: empathy, hyperfocus and connection  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Part two gets practical. In this episode Tam Callaghan walks through the gratitude practices she actually uses, including a twist on the classic three-things exercise that most people miss, and why acknowledging your own role in creating the good in your life is just as important as noticing it.  She shares two personal examples, choosing Luna the dog after a year of persistence, and saying yes to her dream treehouse, as illustrations of what it looks like to own your wins rather than just feel lucky. She also gets into hedonic adaptation and why we stop enjoying what we've worked hard for, the Metta loving-kindness practice, and a striking story about a business success that was missed entirely because the moment wasn't absorbed.  One practical exercise to do tonight, and a genuine argument for why you're probably already living the life you once prayed for.  Part 1: Gratitude: The Backwards Path to More Joy - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-j483f-1b1ade5 In this episode:  The three gratitudes practice and how to actually make it stick  The question to ask after each gratitude: what was it about me that helped create this?  The Luna story: a year of effort, one brave choice, and a dog worth it  The treehouse: luck plus courage plus saying yes  Self-kindness and reset practices when the day starts badly  Appreciating yourself and giving compliments without the tall poppy guilt  Metta loving-kindness practice and how to use it  Online cruelty, ego, and what it says about the people doing it  Hedonic adaptation: why we stop enjoying what we've achieved  The business success story and the moment that was completely missed  Tonight's exercise: your gratitude list and what you created  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Tam sits down with her friend and colleague Kate de Jong to talk about Kate's upcoming book, The Wisdumb Way: A Simple Path to Emotional Intelligence Through the Power of Paradox, co-written with EQ expert James Brydon and relationship counsellor Mauro Davide.  The conversation starts with a statistic that is hard to shake: 95% of people think they're self-aware, but research suggests only 10 to 15% actually are. Kate calls the rare few who genuinely develop this skill unicorns, borrowing the term from Dr Tasha Eurich, and The Wisdumb Way is her attempt to help more people get there.  They cover what self-awareness actually means (internal and external), the difference between genuine emotional intelligence and spiritual bypassing, the Dunning-Kruger effect and Mount Stupid, and the three core qualities at the heart of the book: curiosity, vulnerability, and comfort with uncertainty. Kate also walks through the Harrison Assessment's 12 paradox scales and why being extreme in any direction creates its own problems.  Warm, wide-ranging, and genuinely useful for anyone who wants to lead better, parent better, or simply understand themselves more clearly.  In this episode:  The self-awareness statistic that will make you think twice  Internal vs external self-awareness and why both matter  What a 360 or LSI feedback process actually reveals  Why emotional intelligence matters in leadership, parenting and relationships  The danger of spiritual bypassing when doing inner work  Mount Stupid, the Dunning-Kruger effect, and where most of us get stuck  Wisdumb as paradox: being wise and dumb at the same time  The Harrison Assessment and the 12 paradox scales  The three core qualities: curiosity, vulnerability, comfort with uncertainty  Applying the Wisdumb Way in real conversations  What it costs organisations and individuals to lack self-awareness  Book format, exercises, and launch plans  The Wisdumb Way by Kate de Jong, James Brydon and Mauro Davide: [link when available]  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Tam Callaghan knows you've heard the word gratitude too many times. She felt the same way. This episode is her making the case that it's worth pushing through that resistance, and explaining why it actually works, not in a spiritual bypassing way, but in a genuinely practical, neurological, life-changing way.  Drawing on Shawn Achor's research, Rick Hanson's work on absorbing positive experiences, her own VIA character strengths results, and a striking personal story about manifestation, Tam walks through three reasons gratitude matters, why most of us have the order backwards, and what it looks like to build gratitude as a daily practice rather than a mood or a mindset.  This is part one of two.

In part two of their conversation on workplace bullying, Tam Callaghan and Tanya Hallett from TIPT get into the harder question: once you know there's a problem, what do you actually do?  They pick up where part one left off, starting with the 'money in the bank' concept and why goodwill built before a crisis is the thing that makes everything else possible. From there they move into what happens when a harmful employee has been left unmanaged for years, how fawning and placating responses develop in teams that have never seen anyone held accountable, and what a genuine team reset looks like when a new manager comes in.  Tanya walks through a detailed case study, a respectful behaviours charter in practice, how to document incidents properly, and how to use company values and policy as the foundation for enforcing standards. There's also a rich conversation about generational change, what younger workers expect from their managers, and why seeing potential in people is one of the most powerful performance tools available.  Practical, experienced, and exactly what organisations need more of.  Part 1: What is Workplace Bullying - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-xccpv-1b0fd3c Part 3: Narcissistic Bullies - https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-arzzg-1af7f01  In this episode:  The 'money in the bank' concept and where it comes from  What happens when staff are treated like children  The long-term cost of leaving a harmful employee unmanaged  Psychological safety, boundaries, and what accountability actually looks like  Fawning as a trauma response in workplace settings  Case study: Bill and new manager Bob  How to run a team intervention using a respectful behaviours charter  Documenting incidents: warnings, evidence, and what matters legally  Using company values and policy to enforce standards  Resetting norms when a new manager arrives  Lego Serious Play and third-space conversation tools  Generational change and what younger workers need from leadership  Why expecting the best from people transforms performance  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Workplace bullying pt 2: https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-krwy4-1b1acb6 Narcissistic Bullies: https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-arzzg-1af7f01 Tanya Hallett from TIPT returns to talk about workplace bullying, one of the most common and costly issues she deals with, and one of the most misunderstood. In this first of two conversations, Tam and Tanya cover what bullying actually looks like in practice, what it isn't, and what organisations are getting badly wrong. They get into the pattern Tanya sees most: a long-serving employee, a new manager with no contextual understanding, a clash that escalates fast, and a workplace that fails to step in. They also cover the legal obligations organisations have around reasonable adjustments and psychosocial safety, and why ignorance is genuinely no excuse. There's a detailed case study on an employee with vertigo, a clear breakdown of the difference between bullying and performance management, and practical discussion of what quick and effective resolution can actually look like, including why trust built before a crisis is the thing that makes everything else easier. In this episode: The most common stories Tanya hears from clients about workplace bullying Why new managers are so often the trigger Legal obligations: what the Fair Work Act actually requires Bullying vs performance management: how to tell the difference Case study: the employee with vertigo and what should have happened Workplace support plans and mental health care plans in practice Trust, emotional intelligence and trauma-informed leadership What a good quick resolution actually involves HR and WHS: who owns what when it comes to psychosocial risk The money-in-the-bank analogy for building goodwill before you need it A preview of what's coming in part two: the 'naughty' staff member Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast Join the conversation!

Tam Callaghan had a realisation that made her feel a bit silly at first, and then completely changed how she understood her own anxiety. She was choosing it. Not consciously, but choosing it all the same.  In this episode she unpacks the idea that anxiety can sometimes be a way of avoiding responsibility for choices we've made, and why staying in worry feels safer than sitting with the discomfort of ownership. She also gets honest about using worry as a hobby, what happens creatively when she chooses action instead, and why compassion for yourself and others is the piece that makes the whole thing actually work.  In this episode:  The realisation: why she was choosing anxiety over responsibility  The Upside Down: anxiety as a way of avoiding ownership  Which pain do you choose?

Tam Callaghan did the brave thing. She wrote the letter, had the hard conversation, cleared up a long-standing issue with someone important to her, and got the resolution she'd hoped for. And then she waited to feel great.  It didn't quite work out that way.  In this episode Tam shares what actually happened in the days after a genuine breakthrough, including the unexpected ego backlash, the self-doubt that crept in, and why healing doesn't always feel like healing in the moment. She also talks through the identity protections and parts that fire up when we grow, why discomfort after doing the right thing is normal, and what a quote from Chris Lapping about failure helped her see differently.  Raw, honest, and one of the more useful things Tam has recorded about the messy reality of doing inner work.  In this episode:  Resolving a long-standing friendship issue, and what it took  The Big Kahuna: writing a letter to an important person in her life  The waiting anxiety and what happened when the response came  Why she didn't feel as good as she expected afterward  Identity and ego: why parts of us fight change even when it's good  Chris Lapping's reframe on failure and what it unlocked  A post-recording update with the full story  Why the action is still worth it, even when the feeling lags behind     Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

They're charming to leadership, devastating to their team, and almost impossible to catch. In this episode, Tam Callaghan sits down with workplace expert Tanya Hallett to talk about narcissistic bullies at work: what they actually are, why organisations keep missing them, and what to do if you're dealing with one.  Tanya breaks down the key difference between a standard workplace bully and a narcissistic one, why the second category is in a completely different league, and how the DAVO pattern (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim Order) leaves targets confused, doubting themselves, and unable to articulate what just happened. She also covers what gaslighting actually looks like on the ground, why documentation matters more than you think, and what your real options are if you're in the middle of this.  This is one of the most practically useful episodes on workplace harm the show has done. Whether you're a leader trying to understand what's happening in your team, or someone trying to survive a difficult situation, this conversation gives you real tools.  In this episode:  The difference between a bully and a narcissistic bully, and why it matters  The trail of destruction: what happens to teams when one arrives  Why narcissistic bullies are so hard for leaders to spot  DAVO explained: deny, attack, reverse victim order  How gaslighting erodes confidence and psychological safety  What leaders should actually be watching for  Thinking like a lawyer: how to build your evidence  Practical self-protection: documentation, written follow-ups, limiting verbal contact  Your options as a target: cope, escalate, or exit  The real cost to organisations that ignore this  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Do you want to be Bette or Barbara? If you know the movie Beaches, you know the question. Bette Midler's character is the star, the one in the spotlight. Barbara Hershey's is quieter, less visible, deeply loving and deeply loved. In this episode, Tam Callaghan has been wrestling with which one she wants to be, and the answer surprised her.  For most of her life Tam's ego has measured her worth through achievement, recognition and applause. But after reading a post about kindness and sitting with what she's contributed over the last 20 or 30 years, she had a genuinely softening realisation: she's been far more Barbara than she ever gave herself credit for.  This episode also covers the backup singer dream, the difference between creating from ego and creating from joy, and why peace and self-love aren't distractions from the mission. They are the mission. Plus, a practical exercise worth doing – Writing a list of 50 things you've done well since the start of the year, split across what you've achieved and what you've done for others.  Warm, honest, and one of Tam's most personal episodes yet.  In this episode:  The Bette vs Barbara question and what it revealed  Why the kindness we show others often goes uncounted in our own minds  Ego achievement vs genuine contribution: measuring life differently  The backup singer dream and what it says about wanting just enough attention  Separating worthiness from what you create  Why self-love is the mission, not a distraction from it  The list of 50 things and how to do it  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Authenticity gets thrown around constantly in workplaces, but what does it actually mean to bring your real self to work without oversharing, burning bridges, or pretending the bottom line doesn't exist? Tam Callaghan sits down with celebrity chef, LinkedIn writer and longtime friend Alvin Quah to dig into one of the most overused and underexplored ideas in modern work culture.  Alvin brings a perspective that's hard to find: someone who has lived and led in corporate environments, left them, and can now speak with honesty about what psychological safety, authenticity and values alignment actually feel like from the inside. Together, he and Tam cover what it costs when people can't be themselves at work, why a great boss can make a broken company survivable, and why soft skills are foundational, not optional extras.  The conversation also gets into culture, generational difference, introverts in the workplace, hiring for team fit, and what it looks like when trust and friendship exist in a professional setting.  Warm, thoughtful, and the kind of conversation that makes you reconsider a few things.  In this episode:  What authenticity actually means, and what it doesn't  Filters, code-switching and the layers people wear at work  Why psychological safety often lives or dies with one person: your boss  Edited authenticity: being real without being raw  Generations, culture and making space for introverts  How Alvin thinks about hiring and constructive conflict  Why soft skills are the most foundational skills of all  Values, leadership and being genuinely valuable at work  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

What do you do when there's no plan, no clear path, and no idea if what you're doing is heading anywhere? In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets honest about the extended period of unknowing she's been living through and what she's learning from it. This one covers the ego structures we build to protect ourselves from disappointment, what happens when those structures fall away, and why the mission she thought she was on turned out to be something else entirely. Tam talks about the difference between chasing external validation and actually finding peace in yourself, why self-love isn't selfish, and what it looks like to just keep taking the next step that feels right without knowing where it leads. It also includes one of her favourite Hugh Laurie quotes, which is worth the listen on its own. Raw, personal, and genuinely useful for anyone sitting with uncertainty right now. In this episode: The ego structure of 'one day I'll be famous' and what happened when it collapsed Why external recognition will never be enough, and what to do instead The bridge of cringe: walking into the fog and staying in motion Why self-love is the foundation, not the reward Choosing a context that works for you rather than against you Doing the next right thing when there's no plan Hugh Laurie on readiness, and why now is as good a time as any Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast Join the conversation!

Tam Callaghan sits down with her friend and accredited dietitian Jess Burvill, the person behind the wildly useful Instagram page Daily Serve Nutrition, to talk about how a career in advertising, a mid-life study pivot, and a clear no-judgment voice turned into one of Australia's fastest-growing nutrition accounts.  Jess came to dietetics as a second career after years in advertising agencies, and it turns out those two worlds have more in common than you'd think. They cover how she applies advertising principles to nutrition content, why simple and useful always wins, what the growth from zero to 171,000 followers in 18 months actually looked like from the inside, and how she handles the less glamorous parts, including trolls, , From the supermarket job that helped shape her thesis focus, and what it takes to study full-time through COVID while working, to her current reality of success, opportunity and truly hard work.  Warm, honest, and a lot of fun.  In this episode:  How advertising skills translate directly into social media content  Why Daily Serve of Nutrition grew so fast and what Jess actually did differently  The IDC posts and why the no-judgment approach resonates  Studying dietetics part-time, then through COVID, while working  The supermarket job that sparked her research direction  Dealing with trolls and imposter syndrome at scale  Brand partnerships, workload, and where it all might go next  Follow Jess: https://www.instagram.com/dailyservenutrition/  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/doyourselfafavour_podcast  Join the conversation!

Tasha Broomhall from Blooming Minds returns to share the findings from her PhD research into how workers and leaders are experiencing Australia's psychosocial safety regulations, and the results are eye-opening.  Leaders across organisations, including very senior ones in large companies, are either unaware of their obligations or aware but left with no clear pathway to meet them.

What if the parts of yourself you most want to get rid of are actually trying to help you? In this episode, Tam Callaghan explores parts therapy and why resisting any part of yourself, whether it's striving, jealousy, impatience, or anxiety, makes it louder, not quieter.  Drawing on her own experience with her striving part, and a conversation with a friend battling impatience, Tam makes a case for welcoming all parts of yourself rather than fighting them. It's the same principle as the previous episode on emotions, applied to the deeper, more persistent forces that drive how we behave.  She shares the experts and resources that have helped her most, and sets herself some homework alongside you.  A good companion episode to What You Resist Persists, but works as a standalone too.  Kim Holland - https://trulybe.au/ Usha Raman - https://usharaman.com.au/ Lachie Samuel - https://www.lachiesamuel.com/   Peter Crone - https://www.petercrone.com/   Mike Fields - https://jmikefields.com/   What is "Parts" Therapy? - https://integrativepsych.co/new-blog/what-is-parts-work-therapy-ifs#:~:text=Parts%20work%20is%20a%20type%20of%20therapy,versions%20of%20managers%20that%20act%20more%20impulsively   In this episode:  What parts therapy is and how it differs from working with emotions  Why rejecting a part of yourself just makes it fight harder  Tam's striving part and what it was actually trying to do  The jealousy example and why she couldn't be with it  Reframing impatience as a strength, not a flaw  Recommended experts including Usha Rahman, Peter Crone, Lockie Samuel and J Mike Fields  Homework: practice arriving as you are     Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast  Join the conversation!

Tam Callaghan sits down with author, meditation teacher and former Zen monk Stephan Bodian to talk about his new book Infinite Awakening, a guide to non-dual wisdom for people walking what he calls the pathless path, those who have found their way to awakening outside of monasteries, ashrams, or formal traditions. Stephen has spent decades as a psychotherapist and teacher at his School of Awakening, and this conversation draws on all of it. They cover why spiritual bypassing is so common and so hard to spot, the difference between awakening light and the real work, and what it actually means to rest and allow rather than push and achieve. Tam shares how Stephen's welcoming emotions meditation and the four Rs (remember, recognise, return, rest) have already changed her daily experience, and Stephen walks through his 'is anything missing?' inquiry live in the conversation. One of the most grounded and genuinely useful conversations on meditation and awareness you'll find anywhere. In this episode: How Infinite Awakening came to be and who it's for The pathless path and why it's valid without a monastery behind it What spiritual bypassing actually looks like in practice Why awakened people can still be angry, and what that really means The four Rs and how to use them throughout the day The 'is anything missing?' meditation, explained and experienced How to share this kind of practice without coming across as an evangelist What the School of Awakening offers and how it works   Infinite Awakening by Stephen Bodian:-https://infinite-awakening.org/ His series on Waking Up - https://dynamic.wakingup.com/pack/PDC04C?source=content%20share&share_id=1DEF4C54&code=SCF32EE09   His discussions with  Sam - https://dynamic.wakingup.com/pack/PKB5F28?source=content%20share&share_id=9D7E18CC&code=SCF32EE09   His interview with Sam Harris - This track called The Direct Path got me thinking.

What you resist persists. It's one of those lines that's easy to nod at and genuinely hard to live. In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into why avoiding painful emotions doesn't make them go away, and what it actually looks like to stop fighting what's there.  Drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, her own experience with 4 a.m. fear spirals before training sessions, the work of Eckhart Tolle, and Rumi's Guesthouse poem, Tam walks through what shifted for her and how you can start applying the same ideas without having to overhaul your whole inner world overnight.  She also shares the practical resources that have made the biggest difference, including Stephen Bodian's Welcoming Emotions meditation and a free month with the Waking Up app.  Honest, personal, and genuinely useful.  This track called Welcoming Emotions got me thinking.

What happens when a difficult situation at work gets avoided, passed around, or quietly buried? Tam Callaghan sits down with executive coach, mediator and author Tammy Tansley to talk about one of the most common and costly patterns in workplaces: the failure to address problems early.  Tammy has spent decades being called in after things have already gone wrong. In this conversation, she and Tam get into why delay makes everything harder, what psychosocial safety actually looks like in practice, and why some of the people causing the most damage in organisations genuinely don't know they're doing it.  They also cover neurodiversity and misinterpretation, the gap between workplace rhetoric and reality, what good early intervention looks like, and two practical rules that can make a real difference even if a full culture change feels out of reach.  Honest, experienced, and genuinely useful for anyone who manages people or works in an organisation.    In this episode:  Why wrapping a difficult employee in a bow and passing them on never works  The real cost of heartless leadership  Psychosocial safety vs. the bottom line  Long-term trauma from unaddressed workplace problems  Why the 24-48 hour rule changes everything  Tiny steps that actually move things forward    Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast   Join the conversation!

Are you actually successful, or are you just measuring yourself against a standard someone else handed you? In this episode, Tam Callaghan gets into one of the most loaded words in the Western world and asks the question most of us are quietly afraid to sit with.  Tam introduces Barbara, the name she's given to her ego, that grasping, never-satisfied inner voice that worries about how things look and whether she's keeping up. Drawing on her own experiences living in Peru, returning to one of Perth's wealthiest suburbs, and eventually leaving a high-powered Sydney career for a $2,000 Ford Laser, she makes a case for choosing heart success over grasping success.  Funny, honest, and genuinely thought-provoking.  Healing From Self-Abandonment In this episode:  Why advertising is designed to make you feel like you're lacking  What living in Peru taught Tam about how much of our stress is environmental  Status anxiety, social media, and the Sydney chapter  What success actually looks like to Tam at 52  The Dalai Lama story that sums it all up perfectly  Do Yourself a Favour is available on YouTube: https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast  Join the conversation!

In this episode Helen and Betty continue the conversation about end‑of‑life doulas: how they train, what the role actually looks like, and why continuity of care matters. They share deeply human stories of vigils, home deaths, palliative care, and supporting families through active dying and bereavement.  The hosts also discuss practical details — training pathways, costs and funding, volunteer and paid options — plus the emotional skills that make this work transformative.

What would change in your life if hearing "no" didn't scare you? In this episode, host Tam Callaghan shares one of the most powerful mindset tools she's picked up in nearly two decades of coaching, and gets refreshingly honest about the moment she realised she hadn't fully been living it herself.  Tam revisits advice given to her by her Curtin University lecturer and renowned Perth therapist Peter Slocombe: just be okay with the no. Don't be attached to the outcome. It sounds simple, but the freedom it creates for you and for the other person is profound.  Whether you're in sales, pitching ideas to your boss, asking someone on a date, or just trying to get through life without needing everyone's approval, this episode will hit home. Tam explores the difference between being committed to an outcome and being attached to it, why anxiety makes us focus on ourselves instead of others, and why being okay with no actually makes people far more likely to say yes.  She also opens up about a recent realisation: she'd mastered the small no's but had been completely avoiding the big ones, especially when it came to needing people to like her. Raw, funny, and genuinely useful.  In this episode:  The advice that changed Tam's coaching career 17 years ago  What "committed but not attached" actually means in practice  Why we're all in sales, whether we like it or not  The connection between people pleasing and fear of rejection  Tam's honest confession about where she still struggles  #BeingOkayWithNo #TamCallaghan #ICUPodcast #LifeCoaching #MindsetShift #PersonalGrowth #PeoplePleasing #SelfAwareness #CommittedNotAttached #AnxietyTips #SelfDevelopment #Boundaries #Coaching #PodcastAustralia #Perth  50/50 is available on YouTube  https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast   Join the conversation! 50/50 is on Facebook  And LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tamaracallaghan  50/50 Podcast is recorded at Tailwind Studio: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tailwind-studio 

Helen Callanan, founder of Preparing the Way, explains the role of end‑of‑life doulas and why she frames the work around living with illness rather than dying from it. She discusses non‑medical support that restores choice, capacity and control, the importance of collaboration with palliative and medical teams, and practical options like vigils, home care, and funeral choices.  Through personal stories and training insights, Helen outlines the certification for doulas, the growing public health need for end‑of‑life support, and emerging ideas like workplace doulas — all aimed at giving people and families compassionate, informed care at life’s end.  Links -  https://preparingtheway.com.au/what-is-an-end-of-life-doula/  https://preparingtheway.com.au/5-end-of-life-myth/  https://preparingtheway.com.au/    50/50 is available on YouTube  https://linktr.ee/5050_podcast   Join the conversation! 50/50 is on Facebook  And LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tamaracallaghan  50/50 Podcast is recorded at Tailwind Studio: https://www.linkedin.com/company/tailwind-studio 

Exciting new direction for the podcast: this episode introduces the concept of Ask vs Guess culture—how some people ask directly while others prefer hints—and why those differences create confusion and upset. Through real examples and personal stories, the host explains both perspectives and offers simple strategies to flex toward the other style so relationships at home, work and beyond can communicate with more empathy and less friction.
