  • SLP 390: Running From What You Need To Focus On In Life with Leigh Stalker

    SLP 390: Running From What You Need To Focus On In Life with Leigh Stalker
    Jun 25 2024
    ‘I used to do a lot of endurance sports, the long-distance running and triathlons, Iron Man’s and things like that and what I realised is I got really good at running a long way, running away. So, I was using running and those endurance sports as a way to distract myself from the things I actually needed to focus on in my life. And, at the time, I was using that hustle, that drive, that competitive spirit, and taking on immense challenges as a way to feel I was being productive, but I was actually being productive and achieving things in parts of my life that weren’t fulfilling.’ ~ Leigh Stalker Leigh Stalker is an acclaimed performance coach renowned for his extraordinary feats and expertise in physical and mental conditioning. His diverse background, ranging from setting a world record to enduring some of the planet’s most gruelling physical challenges, uniquely positions him to coach elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts who are aiming for the pinnacle of their potential. Leigh’s journey in high-performance coaching is underpinned by his experiences across various extreme environments. From summiting a 6200-meter Himalayan mountain solo, completing Ironman triathlons, to setting an endurance challenge world record, Leigh’s own accomplishments are a testament to the effectiveness of his techniques. His tenure at sea as a Master of Yachts provided him with critical insights into resilience and leadership under pressure, skills he integrates into his coaching to enhance physical and mental endurance. Leigh’s approach combines advanced breathwork, mindfulness, and visualisation techniques to help athletes master their bodies and minds, preparing them for competitive success and everyday resilience. Whether you’re aiming to push your limits in fitness or expand on your life’s dreams, Leigh’s coaching provides the strategies and motivation to achieve extraordinary goals. Join him to transform your performance and reach the heights of your athletic aspirations. His definition of Self Love is being kind to oneself, and look at yourself through the lens of kindness which will allow you to think in a more empowered way. His favourite quote is from a teacher in India: ‘Joy is our nature.’ Best link to follow: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leighstalkercoaching/ Quotes: You do not have to believe everything you are told in the health industry. I think I was very stubborn, and having such a hard time with my health, I questioned it all. I was able to turn that stubbornness into a genuine strength that gave me confidence. Big energetic challenges create a lot of noise. Check in with yourself and ask the question am I giving too much to this? A more mindful and gentle approach has me highly motivated and pumped. What is it that is adding value to my life and those I love? As a coach you need to understand your clients well. What is the cost of you engaging in this? Sleep, hydration and inflammation are basic markers. Breath work allows you to think more calming and less reactive. Get someone to believe they are worth it is the big challenge. It’s not about perfection but doing a good job consistently. It is about making investments in yourself. Allow for hurdles to come up and adapt accordingly. Ask what would a role model do? What is the real reasoning? Climbing 6,200mts solo was a big task and my biggest achievement. I needed to do something that required new behaviours. Nothing is really a certainty but we need to make our best decision we can in a powerful and regulated way. Pushing the limits was a familiar state for me. Men and women are so so different in how we think, how we feel and how we operate. Be kind to yourself. Joy is our nature. We have a choice in every situation.

    Jun 20 2024
    In the busyness of our modern lives, it’s easy to get swept away by endless to-do lists and mounting responsibilities. Yet, amidst the busyness, there’s something incredibly valuable that often gets overlooked, and that is precious friendships.

  • SLP 388: Self Love Replay - Open Hearted Connection with Helen Padarin

    SLP 388: Self Love Replay - Open Hearted Connection with Helen Padarin
    Jun 17 2024
    ‘We feel more close-hearted when we are in that state of fear. And that happens as a type of protection really, but unfortunately a side effect of a closed heart means we are less connected with ourselves so it is harder for us to hear our own intuition and our own gut feelings, our own sense of what is true for us and what is right for us as individuals but what it also does, it doesn’t just create that sense of disconnection from ourselves, but it creates that sense of disconnection from others and the world around us too. Not just in ourselves but division between one another.’ A very openhearted and real conversation around the state of the world through the eyes of one of Australia’s most well-renowned natural health practitioners Helen Padarin who in this interview guides us with science and soul back into our hearts with love and care. Knowing there is so much for our nervous systems to navigate right now it is clearly impacting our health with so many feeling the pressure. Helen believes the focus needs to come back to self-care and to truly nurture one self. Her clinic has seen more restrictions and pressures and coercions the base line stuff we are all dealing with now has added pressure like isolation or lock down or fear… it is not just emotional and mental which is huge but also a link to the physical. We talk soul, spirit and how to have an open heart. So to understand this more when we are in a state of fear our amygdala is activated and the frontal part of the brain shuts down – amygdala hijack – and we go into a reactive state of being. We make decisions out of fear in a reactive state rather than a sense of empowerment. And this shuts of our heart as a form of protection but a side effect means we are less connected with ourselves. It also disconnects us from ourselves and one another. It does not matter about your opinions or beliefs right now there is a lot of fear happening on both sides. Helen lets us know all the things that can bring us back to our present moment and into our body. To open our hearts we need to get back into our body and to know that our senses bring us back to the body. We talk neuro-psycho-immunology and how stress impacts our endocrine system and neuro-transmitters and nervous system innovation. This can make us susceptible to immune disorders and things like cancer, even our reproductive cycles and fertility. It effects our ability to produce digestive enzymes and how we absorb food of which the nutrients are the building blocks for health and wellbeing. The biggest emphasis in times of any stress is to maintain our sense of health and wellness. Helen acknowledges that no matter how smart or educated anyone is ultimately we are all human and all humans experience trauma over the extent of each person’s life. If we are not aware of the patterns created by these traumas, we can create repeating patterns. We are all to some extent children walking around in adult bodies with wounds and the need to heal some aspects of our lives. We never heal in isolation, we are always interacting with others so the more we can take ownership of our own stuff with compassion and empathy we can help the healing of the collective. Through experiences we have innate biases which will support our story. It takes a lot of courage to entertain another story… and actually question our beliefs and stories. There is so much influence from industry happening as well. We have always known that industry does not always have the best interests of the consumer at heart and there is a lot of vested interest right now. If we can meet with openhearted discussion and friendly debate, instead of a culture of not agreeing so you cannot be friends anymore, then there is more hope. It is very fascinating how quickly this shift in being able to converse and being able to have different points of view and healthy debate. We seem to have lost a lot of that lately which may indeed be driven by fear and hearts being closed off. We discuss the possibility of having more open-hearted conversations. Perhaps read ‘Non-Violent Communication’ by Marshall B Rosenberg and maybe understanding ‘The 4 Agreements’ by Don Miguiel Ruiz where one is to not take things personally. Helen believes pauses are so important. And to actually hear what the other person is saying and not take it personally, but rather find yourself saying, ‘That’s interesting.’ Somatic experiencing is a type of trauma therapy. This is about understanding where the memories are held in the body. The better we know ourselves the less threatened we will be by others. The more ok and openhearted we can be regardless of another’s opinion the more open we can be to learning understanding that we know everything. We have a lot of different shapes and shades to each of us. We go down the rabbit hole of who is ‘THEY’? When we are told ‘they say’ we have to do things or not do things. Helen has a variety of ...
