Ep107: Why sleep is the most important thing you’ll do all day……. What if the most powerful tool for better health, sharper thinking and a longer life was something you’re not taking seriously enough?

Spoiler: It’s Sleep

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Shantha Rajaratnam a Sleep and Circadian Cycle Specialist, to uncover the hidden power of sleep. We hear about the latest research on why we sleep, how it shapes our mood to our immune systems, and why modern life is waging war on our natural rhythms.

Together with Prof. Shantha we unpack it all - plus we learn how he migrated to Australia from Sri Lanka, studied Psychology and Law to then becoming an expert in one of the most underrated aspects of human health and how this is now starting to change.

Trust us, after this conversation, you’ll never take sleep for granted again. This is a unmissable episode with proven tips on how to get a much better nights sleep.

Artificial intelligence is evolving at an unprecedented pace, reshaping industries, jobs, and even how we think. But with this rapid growth comes a critical question - how do we ensure AI enhances our lives rather than replaces what makes us human?

In this episode, we sit down with Sami Makelainen, a technologist, humanist, and AI specialist, to explore the impact of generative AI on society. We discuss the opportunities AI presents, the ethical challenges we must navigate, and how we can take a proactive, human centred approach to this technological revolution.

Can AI be a tool for empowerment rather than disruption? How do we balance innovation with responsibility? And what skills do we need to thrive in an AI-driven world? Tune in for a thought provoking conversation that just might change the way you see the future.

Do you pour your thoughts onto paper, or does the idea of journalling feel like homework? In this episode, three generations come together to talk about their experiences (or lack thereof) with journalling.

From the classic Dear Diary entries of the past to digital note taking and voice memos, we explore how different ages approach self-reflection and memory keeping, is journalling a life changing habit or just another trend?

Tune in to hear the generational divide on putting thoughts to paper and maybe get inspired (or reassured) along the way.

Saying “No” might be one of the hardest and most powerful things we can do.

In a world that constantly demands our time and energy, learning when to set boundaries is essential for our mental health and emotional well-being.

In this episode we explore the art of saying no: how we recognise our limits, why it’s ok when we disappoint others, and when refusing certain demands is actually a form of self care.

Tune in for a reminder that sometimes prioritising yourself is the best yes you can give.
