How do these addictions affect our most important relationships? The relationship with our children, our partner and ourselves?
It’s time to take back control of our attention. It is our most valuable commodity.

#26 - Breathwork: Fad or Fantastic | Ashy & Levi
Is ‘Breathwork’ just another new ‘health fad’ or are there some real lasting benefits to it?

Has it been overhyped in Trauma work?

And ALL the other questions.

“Sextortion is huge, it’s a massive problem”.
“In my 30 years of policing, I’ve never seen a crime type that is tipping previously mentally well young people into a crisis as quickly as sextortion does”, Sarah Mclean (Australia’s first cyber cop) said.
Today’s episode is in response to the below post by Scott Page, the barefoot investor.

Wayne is a 50-something Barefoot Dad. His son Mackenzie (Mac) is 16 years old, and obsessed with footy, cricket and getting his L-plates.
The trouble began when Mac befriended a girl on Snapchat who was friends with some of his friends.
“Hi Sweety, what do you do?” she wrote.
Mac told her that he was the captain of his footy team and that he liked to work out.
She told him he looked like he had great abs, and then sent him a photo of her breasts.
Mac responded by sending a nude photo … but without his head in the shot.
She returned the favour, sending him a nude photo … also without her head in the shot. And after a few more minutes of flirting, they both sent nude photos of themselves with their heads in shot.
Then Mac’s phone rang.
On the other end of the line was a middle-aged man:
“I’ve got your photo, and I’ve hacked your Snapchat. Mac, you are going to put $500 into this bank account in five minutes, or I will send it to all your contacts.
“I’m counting”, he barked, then hung up.
Mac immediately transferred $500 to the man’s bank account.
And then Mac’s phone rang again.
“Mac, I’ve got your $500. But now I want another $500. And if you don’t pay me another $500, you’re going to be embarrassed.
Your parents will hate you, and you’ll want to kill yourself”, he snarled before hanging up.
And then Mac did what you would want every single kid to do in this situation:
He walked out of his room, found his old man, and tearfully said, “Dad I’ve made a big mistake”.
And Wayne did what every single parent should do in this situation:
He lovingly put his arms around his son and said “Mate, you’ve done nothing wrong. You are the victim here. Everything is going to be all right.”
And then Mac’s phone rang … again.
Wayne grabbed the phone and, quick as a flash, made something up:
“This is Senior Sergeant Holdsworth from the Mornington Police. STAY AWAY FROM MY BOY!”
The scammer listened, breathing down the line, and then coolly replied:
“I don’t care about you or your son. You can both die.”
And to prove it, he sent the photos to all of Mac’s friends on Snapchat.
Now he was forced to live with the consequences of his actions … which began at footy training the next night. (Thankfully, his coach turned it into an educational session for the boys on the dangers of sending explicit photos.)
The next few months were understandably rough for Mac.
Yet, at dinner one night, Mac was back to his old self, joking with his sister and laughing at Wayne’s dad-jokes. Things had turned the corner, Wayne thought. As Mac went off to bed that night he told his old man that he was excited to put on his L-plates in the morning.
And then Mac went to his room and killed himself.
The next morning, Wayne opened Mac’s door and found him dead. He sat there with his son, now cold and lifeless – and his entire world fell apart.
One afternoon Wayne found himself in Mac’s bedroom, he saw something out of the corner of his eye. It was a note.
Dear Dad,
Things haven’t been the same for me since that photo. I’m really embarrassed. I’ve let you down.
I am so sorry.
Love, Mac

Think about your childhood and the parenting you received.
For each of us there are choices our parents made & actions they chose that we would never make ourselves. On the flip side we all have parts of our childhood that we want our children to receive too.
Today we ask each other some critical parenting questions.
Which parenting choices made by your mum or dad have you chosen to not repeat (break the cycle of) with your kids? Why? What are you choosing instead?
Which parenting choices are you choosing to repeat and therefore extending the legacy of?
These really are the conversations that matter when it comes to conscious parenting. Our experiences, and specifically the perception of our experiences has created the person and parent we are today.
Lets unpack it.

It’s been a scary time, but as you can imagine it’s also been an opportunity for growth and reflection.
We unpack all of this and hopefully provide some useful tools to consider if you or a loved one have to walk a similar journey.

We’ve all heard of 'mum guilt' and, to a lesser extent 'dad guilt'. But who has stopped to assess the guilt held in our children? Whether they’ve made a mistake, not lived up to an expectation, let us down or felt like they’ve been mean or uncaring, silently holding guilt inside and managing it alone without any tools can really be heavy on our kids.
Let’s unpack this important topic, plus kids love languages, the importance of mutual respect and holding strong boundaries.
We’re going DEEEEEEEP
Lessons, lessons, lessons. What parenting lessons really hit home most for Ashy & Levi in 2023?

If you’re looking for one CLP Pod Episode with the most gold nuggets in all areas of conscious living, and emotional intelligence for parents and kids then today is your day.
In just 60 minutes we cover so many key areas of emotional intelligence for healthy development and parenting of children.
This statistic shocked me because we’re hearing about it more and more. But did you know that studies show that we are less emotionally intelligent than in the past decade?
Our communications are increasingly twitter-like with acronyms and emojis. We make decisions based on the number of likes. We are feeling more distracted, stressed, and lonely. Building our emotional fitness is one of the most important things we can do for our health

It’s easy to see why Dr Golly is affectionately known as the Baby Whisperer. This is definitely a podcast that all new parents or parents-to-be do not want to miss.
In this podcast, we cover everything from Conscious Eating and Behaviour Change to Purple Crying and more…
*Note: This was another 2023 chat that hasn’t been released until now. This chat was truly a great reminder to trust our intuition as parents and back what we see and feel is best.

Yes, it’s been a minute since the last CLP podcast, but we’re back after an extended break in 2023.
Ashy & Levi are joined by Mindset coach, author, and good friend Katie Ford to discuss one of the toughest situations a parent can go through. Co-parenting.
This one has a bit of everything and definitely some big ahh-ha’ moments for the panel (not to mention a heap of laughter)
This pod definitely isn’t just for those on the co-parenting journey. The tools and topics discussed in this pod are incredibly relevant to all parents.
Think about it. At times, we’ve all had ‘strong discussions’ with our partner about what is best for our darling children. Imagine how heightened those discussions would be in a co-parenting environment.
If you’re always looking for tips, tools and some solid experience shares on how to improve comms with your partner and children, this one is well worth the listen
Enjoy!

Anthony shares his passion for helping build confidence and self-love from the inside out. He also goes deep on the bullying he suffered growing up and how he got through, and how we can all help ensure our kids, friends, family and community members feel supported, loved and accepted for who they are.

How does that affect resilience, self-confidence, and self-management?
So much more in this episode, but this topic is one that needs to be spoken about more. Thanks to Hugh Van Cuylenburg for highlighting the need to dig deeper on this issue.

After a little break, CLP is back and badder than ever… (Sorry… Dad Joke)
This week we spoke with The Resilience Project founder, Hugh Van Cuylenburg. What an insightful chat, and what an incredible, humble, hilarious human.
In 2008, Hugh was fortunate enough to spend a few months living and volunteering in the far north of India. In this desert community, there was no running water, no electricity and no beds; everyone slept on the floor of their hut.
Despite the fact these people had very little to call their own, Hugh was continually blown away by how happy they were. It was this experience that led him to some pretty simple, yet powerful conclusions about the things that we could be doing in Australia to become a whole lot happier.
A decade or so on from his life-changing trip, Hugh and his’ Resilience Project’ team have helped over 1,000 schools, community leaders, and sporting clubs improve resilience and happiness within their organisations. Now that’s pretty special.
You don’t want to miss this chat.
