Imagine if a single word could change your life. This was a theory Courtney wanted to test a few years ago when, instead of setting New Year’s resolutions, she selected a Word of the Year to live her life by. Join Courtney as she shares her Word of the Year experiences with you in this podcast series.
Over the last few episodes, we’ve been exploring what it means to flourish — in our health and wellness, in our relationships, and through personal growth and learning. Today we’re going to explore another dimension of flourishing, one that adds richness and depth to everything else we do: flourishing through purpose and contribution.

When we think of flourishing, we often imagine blooming in our health, our relationships, or our sense of purpose. But one of the most powerful ways to flourish is through personal growth and learning. Just like a tree stretches its branches toward the sun, we flourish when we expand our minds, challenge ourselves, and remain curious about the world around us.
Flourishing through growth and learning isn’t about adding endless achie...
Think about the last time you walked through a garden in spring. The flowers aren’t just getting by—they’re stretching, blooming, and showing up in full colour. Relationships are very much the same.
When they’re flourishing, we don’t just “coexist” with the people around us—we thrive together. We laugh more, we feel safer, we grow stronger, and life just feels richer.
But here’s the thing: flourishing doesn’t just happen. It takes ...
It's been a tremendously cold winter here in Canberra, Australia, but finally there is evidence of Spring being just around the corner. The wattle and deciduous trees are in bloom, the spring bulbs are peaking through the earth, which is slowly warming up. Before we know it, everything will be in full bloom, and flourishing.
It seems fitting that my word of the month is "Flourish".
When we think about flourishing, images of lush ga...
Do you remember being a child and asking endless questions? “Why is the sky blue?” “How do birds fly?” “Where does the sun go at night?”
Children are naturally curious. They don’t worry about whether a question sounds silly—they just ask. And in doing so, they learn about the world at a rapid pace.
As adults, many of us lose that fearless curiosity. We worry about looking foolish, being judged, or slowing others down. So instead of...
This meditation is about asking. Asking for what you need. Asking for help. Asking yourself questions that lead to growth. And asking the world to guide you, with openness and curiosity.

Have you ever noticed how often we ask other people for advice—friends, mentors, partners—but forget to ask ourselves the deeper questions first?
We turn outward when we’re uncertain, but real growth often begins when we pause, turn inward, and gently ask: What do I really need right now? What am I meant to learn from this moment?
Asking yourself questions is like shining a flashlight on your inner world. It helps you uncover blind...
We all have moments in life when we notice someone we care about isn’t quite themselves.
Asking someone if they’re OK is one of the most powerful acts of care and connection we can offer — but it’s also something many of us struggle to do.
Continuing on our theme of “asking” on the podcast this month, in today’s episode we will explore why asking if someone is ok matters, how to approach the conversation, and how to offer meaningf...
This month, I’m focusing on “asking”. Asking can take many different forms, such as: asking better questions, asking for help, asking to seek clarity and understanding, as well as asking to learn.
In this episode, the first in my series on this topic, I will be exploring the power of asking for help.

This month I have been participating in Dry July.
Having a month-long break from alcohol is something I try to do every year, either during July or October. I do this for a couple of reasons. Firstly, to give my body a break from alcohol and allow it to detox for a few weeks, and secondly to break the habit of drinking.
In this episode, I share how I use the power of consistency to break this habit.

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
