Welcome To Episode Fifteen of Your Story.

I’ve always loved cooking, experimenting with flavours and styles and some people say that I’m okay at it. I particularly enjoy what people would refer to as healthy food. I’ve been accused many times of being a bit of a health nut

That’s not the case, it must first taste good. Good nutritious food is not only good for my body it also tastes great. With that attitude a few years back while learning about different food styles I discovered Macrobiotics and learnt about some amazing food styles that most people have no idea about.

That being the case several years ago I was given a cookbook as a gift and discovered some of the most simple and incredible flavours that I’ve had the good fortune to learn how to create.

This cookbook is Nourish by Holly Davis and today we have the opportunity to explore the food, the philosophy and the passion of Holly, how she got here and the Sydney restaurant iku that she had for many years.

Welcome To Episode Twelve of Your Story.

I sometimes wonder how the world sees the Australian culture that I know so well. Do they believe the myths that are played out in the media or do they believe something else? I also wonder, but very rarely, what is going on with mental health, a field I know no one to have interacted with. Also what of the impact of drug use on mental health, is it something to be concerned with, especially as I have a teenage daughter? Well here are some insights from some one who knows.

Today we talk with Adam who as a psychiatrist working within the mental health system in drug and alcohol issues. He made the leap to Australia as a migrant a few years back.

In his own British style he gives us an interesting and insightful view of Australia from the government to social and personal cultural styles.

Adam explains some of the failings of the health system but also what works. Particularly how through support from the compassionate community around a person with mental health issues there is the possibility for a bright future.

The points that Adam primarily makes will resonate with most, as the fundamental issues that we all want in life. In that we all want a good, happy life with our community.

Despite the many and I’m sure appalling things that Adam has seen he has an upbeat and positive view on Australia. Mentioning several times how people managed to succeed in the majority of cases and that it is the few that fall through the system that we focus on rather than the majority of successes.

Welcome To Episode Eleven of Your Story.

Once again through the assistance of Juan Mann I meet and we talk with Jenny who while working at University in her studies came down with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFS is a condition that leaves the person exhausted from the very simplest of life’s activities.

Jenny explains how life for a young woman is with this condition and the way it impacts on living a normal life. How she lives a life of work, socialising and university. The challenges of getting enough rest while wanting to still have a full life. How to have hope and excitement for a future when there is no way of knowing how she will feel and even if she will be able to participate in what is planned.

Along with the challengers of this condition Jenny has an underlying enthusiasm for life and a desire to participate fully in it. There is a lesson in Jenny’s story for all of us.
