022 - How to Make Your Work Really Matter
You probably know many others who, when they’re on their way to work, look rather gloomy or stressed. Not a good way to be. And others look bored or lacking any real motivation. You may even be feeling a bit flat about work yourself. In this podcast, we look at how to reframe your work so it…

021 - How We're Making it Work Second Time Around
If you’re looking for love second time around, or have found it and want to make sure it works out, then this episode is specifically for you. In it, I open up my own situation (having been married previously for 29 years) and describe what it was like, and more importantly, conscious ways that…

020 - Let's Do Something About This Epidemic
Photo by Chastagner Thierry on Unsplash They say growing old is a bugger. If the emerging aches and pains I'm experience are anything to go by, they're probably right! But the real tragedy, and one we can easily do something about, is that when people get old - and the children are gone, and work...

019 - Being Busy is Not a Very Good Excuse (with midlifer Dr Michelle Kelly)
Midlife is a great opportunity, but certainly not the only one, to invest your time and energy into work or endeavours that don’t just earn a buck, but make a real difference too. But, far too many of us find ourselves saying, “I’m just so busy!” I have a feeling that that isn’t a very good…

018 - 5 Principles From a Life That Hasn't Gone to Plan
Photo by Chip Vincent, Unsplash Life is good, right? But I bet it hasn't quite gone to plan. And why is that? Is it a failure of planning? Being unrealistic? Not having plan B? In today's podcast, Rob offers five principles he has learned from a life that hasn't gone to plan - his! Lessons that…

018 - 5 Principles From a Life That Hasn't Gone to Plan
Photo by Chip Vincent on Unsplash Don’t get me wrong - life is good, but it hasn’t quite turned out as I was planning back when I was thirty. Like you, some of my hopes and dreams have failed to materialise, while other things have turned up in my life uninvited - but guests nonetheless. We must...

017 - How to Make New Friends in Midlife (or improve existing ones)
Photo by Kevin Curtis on Unsplash Everyone wants good friends - even those of us who are introverts and don’t mind time on our own. Because of the pace and sheer breadth of responsibilities in our 30’s and 40’s we can easily wake up in our 50’s and realise….we have few really good friends. It can...

016 - A Beautiful Encounter When Things Go Quiet
We’re all so busy in our modern everyday lives that we seldom hear the quiet voices or notice the beautiful encounters we can have if we only paid attention. I believe that there is much to be gained by slowing down and taking time out. When Tess and I did this just recently on Great Barrier...

015 - Awareness & Choice with Kavi Arasu
As we progress through life, how can we ensure we keep fresh, keep learning, keep growing? And why should we? In this episode, I talk with Kavi Arasu, a facilitator and philosopher from Mumbai, India, about what it means to live a life that matters and how you can get fresh perspectives on life…

014 - Want a Better Life? Get a Bigger Tent.
Photo by Patrick Hendry on Unsplash We mid-lifers can easily become creatures of habit. You know, same job, same house, same friends, same commitments. The danger of that being your pattern for the second half of life is that you could slowly becoming inflexible, living in a gradually contracting...

013 - Helping in Calcutta in 1994
Photo: razflections I’ll never forget the face of the very old man, lying there on the cot, emaciated, in the room at Mother Teresa’s Calcutta home for the destitute and dying. His life was nearly over. He had no light in his eyes. What could I do? In this episode I share one way of making a...

012 - Why Your Life is Good
Photo by Toa Heftiba on Unsplash Do you wonder sometimes whether you’re doing what you really should be doing? Whether you’ve fully come into your own? It’s an interesting question, isn’t it? But is it a good question? Underneath it is the implication that success feels different to what you’re...

011 - Stop Paddling So Many Canoes
Ever feel like you’ve been trying really hard to make things work, but somehow success stills eludes you? It might be changes you want to make in your life, a new venture you’re trying to start, or even where you’ve got to in life at this stage versus what you thought it would be like. I’ve had…

010 - Parental Lament
If you’ve got children, no doubt you’ll have moments when you wondered whether you did okay as a parent. That’s quite natural - for two reasons: We love them regardless, and it never works out the way we had imagined it would! Or, is that just me?! In this episode, I share my own questions and...

009 - Fighting the Voice Within
If you have this little voice within you saying, “You know, this isn’t really working, is it?” or, “This is just not you. Why are you persisting wth this?” then you’re not alone. Doubt is good, it’s a healthy aspect of making decisions. The trouble is, sometimes we don’t listen carefully enough…

008 - How Can I Know What I Should Do?

007 - 5 Modern Monsters to Watch Out For
Today’s modern lifestyle makes it hard for us to live a life of simplicity, clarity and peace. Let alone trying to focus on what’s most important in life and work. It seems there are monsters out to get us at every turn. And many people don’t even know they’re there. Today, I go monster-hunting.…

006 - What Will Matter in the End?
We spend our lives - that is to say, we use our time and energy - on doing things, buying things, and trying things. It takes all our energy to do it, and sometimes we do these things without perhaps being fully conscious of our choices. Sort of, living on auto-pilot. What if you get to the end…

003 - Make your connections really matter
