How do you go putting your shoes and socks on while standing and not leaning against anything? How about 1-legged toothbrushing?

Amidst the discussions on the finer points of VO2Max, perfecting your form with the bench press and focusing on protein prioritisation, Mobility and Stability too, deserve pride of place in your physical fitness but they’re not extra and exhausting ‘new to-dos’ for the list:

Juliett and Kelly Starlett have got it down to 10 tests + 10 physical practices that create 10 ways to make your body work better, most of which you can incorporate into what you’re already doing - even while watching TV. Thank god, as I’m only part the way through the new Bridgerton series 😅

It is such a joy to bring you this chat with Juliet, who was also a professional whitewater paddler, winning 3 World Championship and 5 national titles. Juliet is on a mission to help people MOVE more and what I love about her whole vibe is that we’re not being scared into it or shown something that feels 1000 steps away from where one might be today, but we’re invited through curiosity, play and being shown that progress = success.

Get inspired with me and enjoy the show,

Alexx

No1. For Parents trying to learn practical skills about parenting and caring in the age of so much technology and now AI, we’re often very quickly scared to death: The algorithms favour sensationalist, fear-based marketing: the worst of the worst facts get preference over moderate, nuanced skill-building messaging and we tend to then act out of fear when communicating with our kids around tech, instead of curiosity, building trust, teaching boundaries and validating their interests with their safety in mind.

No2. For Kids, the algorithms can serve sensational, sexual or violent content that they’re not ready for and don’t know how to deal with in a healthy way, often sometimes feeling shame or breeding secrecy over what they’ve discovered or private conversations they’ve been invited to.

We need to figure out how to be better flashlights for their spotlight minds, and Dr Jocelyn Brewer is back on the podcast to help us take a deep breath and get really good at it.

We cover:

• Gaming/Gaming styles and connection and community green/red flags
• Tech usage and how we talk about it with our kids (pro tip: WITH, not AT for starters!)
• Our fears around risk can create a win/lose battle where no one wins.
• Social media - we’re consuming a product, NOT the effort behind it. Kids don’t realise.
• DMs/Messaging and navigating communication and kids knowing how to deal with tough things friends go through (SO good!)
• Escalation - communication, content, sensationalism in algorithms.
• AI and the way forward with the pervasive amount of synthetic content now being generated and shared.

Share it far and wide - I haven’t spoken to a single parent or teacher who hasn’t got concerns over some of these topics, and we need more practical skill building, not more fear and denial.

There could be a million different reasons this hour might improve your life. You will have to listen and find out, but all I will say is don’t delay.

That we have Gay and Katie Hendricks, their separate and collaborative bodies of work and their books to share so much wisdom, makes me feel good about the world and I’m overjoyed to bring them to you in the show this week.

We talk about all this and more:

• Creative Possibility - how to harness it and foster it.
• Conscious living - what it is in practice and how it doesn’t look ‘one way’ for all.
• The magic of appreciating and taking time to notice each other and our uniqueness
• Katie’s “Presence; connect; play” exercise
• Upper Limit Problems - How to notice self-sabotage and whether you might secretly believe you don’t deserve to experience a great life.
• That health problem that keeps popping up? Could it be an upper limit problem of yours? I share an old one.
• Chronic pain and attention issues are often the symptoms, not the problem.
• Love and connection to get closer together with the people we love.

Put simply: We explore many big things this week that will crack us open to be put back together even better, Kintsugi-style. A must listen. A gift to share it with people in your life as is all the work Gay and Katie have done.

I cannot wait to hear what you got from this week’s show,
