Ep 97 – End of Year Check-In
It's been a while, almost a year! Just wanted to check-in, say hi, and thank you. Thank you for listening. I've got a couple of updates to share in this episode but really I just wanted to dust off the cobwebs. I mentioned the rituals resource library I collated, you can access that here. I also asked for some feedback, if you've got a minute you can contact me via email at hello@mikeyellis.com or message me on Instagram @mikey.ellis

Ep 96 – Dr Shyam Barr on What is a Self-Regulated Learner and How To Become One.
I’ve been following Shy’s work for years now. I think the work he’s doing to bring greater self awareness to teaching, learning and education is essential, it’s so important. Shy has plenty of experience in the education sector having been a high school teacher of psychology, science and maths and is now a sought after education consultant and researcher working as an Assistant Professor of Learning Sciences (Design & Pedagogy) in the Faculty of Education, University of Canberra. He h...

Ep 95 – Dr Arne Rubinstein on Boys becoming Men and the need for Rites of Passage.
In this episode I speak with Dr Arne Rubinstein - author of 'The Making of Men' and CEO of the Rites of Passage Institute. We begin with the current state of masculinity in Australia and Arne's honest and cautionary assessment of it. We discuss the desperate need for healthy masculinity and the role rites of passage experiences play in this. Arne has over 30 years of experience doing this work which is arguably more important and necessary now that it has ever been. Arne shares insights on ...

Ep. 94 – Tarang Chawla on teaching, listening, leadership, healthy masculinities and addressing gender based family and domestic violence.
When I met Tarang earlier this year and listened to him speak as a panellist at an event, I knew there was so much more I wanted to hear from him. We got the chance to find some time amongst Tarang's busy schedule to chat and I'm glad we did. We discussed some difficult issues, important issues. Issues such as gender based family and domestic violence, mental health, masculinities and the desperate need for positive role models for boys and young men. Tarang's invitation for us all ...

Ep 90 - Conversations that change lives, anti-climacitc endings and what happens after the hero's journey. A solo episode from the road and a special announcement.
Show notes seem a bit pointless after what might the the longest podcast title! Here's the downlow on this episode. I finished walking the Camino de Santiago and experienced the come down, the anticlimax was real. I then had a few friends reach out and the conversations that ensued were extremely impactful. I wrote an article about what happens after the hero's journey and was sitting here wondering how to tie it all together. This podcast is my attempt to do that, I hope it translates. ...

Ep 89 – Letting go at Cruz de Ferro. A solo episode from The Camino de Santiago.
Today I walked up to the highest point on the Camino de Santiago. There's a cross there atop a mound of stones that pilgrims have left behind. These are both literal and figurative symbols of that which they've been carrying and no longer want to carry. On the other side of this peak I stepped off the trail and sat on some grass to record this episode in the sunshine whilst thinking about letting go and why it's so hard. I reference David Whyte's poem, Faces at Braga. You can read it he...

Ep 88 - Finding refuge on the Camino de Santiago, a conversation with Ukranian refugee Polina.
I met Polina as I wandered into the grounds of an Albergue one very cold morning looking for a coffee whilst walking the Camino de Santiago. There was a sign they had put out on the Camino just the day before saying, 'warm up' with an arrow pointing away from the path. I followed it and found myself at Alberuge Amanecer. There I had a coffee and some fresh banana bread but it was the conversation with Polina that really moved me. Polina is 26 years of age and with her parents, recently...

Ep 87 - Solo episode. A windy dispatch from the winding Camino de Santiago talking about soul, greater meaning, purpose and integrity.
This was an impromptu episode. I was walking in between Hontillas de Camino and Castrojeriz on the Camino de Santiato and pulled over to share some thoughts. Perhaps it was the fact I had been walking all day with only my thoughts to keep me company that had me inspired to share, I was craving conversation! I hope, despite the wind and poor recording conditions, that you enjoy this episode. It's very low-fi but talking about some hi-fidelity feels. The podcast interview with Francis Welle...

Ep. 86 – Rainier Wylde on Grief, Endings, Hope, Love, Negronis and Rice Cookers.
This conversation with Rainier Wylde is great example of why I created this podcast. To learn from people and their lived experience. To provide an opportunity for others to share their stories. To connect more deeply with people at a time when slow, intentional, consciously nurtured connections are replaced by desperate dopamine benders and superficial scrolling frenzies. To learn to listen better. To practice asking better questions. To share the wisdom and perspective of...

Ep 83 - Exploring your shadow with Kerrie Basha – author, tarot reader, shadow guide and practicing witch.
Shadow work. You may be familiar with it, you may have done some, perhaps you're well acquainted with your shadow. Maybe you have no idea what this all means but have heard people talking about it. It's work what has fascinated, compelled and challenged me for most of my life and specifically the past couple of years working with Kerrie. For context, her bio is a compelling introduction to this work and the topic of this conversation: "Kerrie works at the crossroads of vision, creativi...

Ep 81 - Being True. How to be Yourself at Work, a Guide for Leaders. With author Cassandra Goodman.
Self awareness in leadership. It's a hot topic that deserves far more attention than it gets. There's plenty of books on both, but too few on how to combine and apply both in practice. Cassandra Goodman's new book, 'Being True - How to Be Yourself at Work' does just that, and it is brilliant. Not only does it provide a compelling call to action for why this work is essential now, it provides clear principles and practices to make this a very handy guide for transforming the way you lead and...
