EPISODE 100!! And to go out with a bang I decided to do something very different. Something that involved a stranger, a story and a really big suprise. I first met Kerri after she DM'd me saying she had a very different outlook to the question I'd been asking people all year which was 'what would you do if you knew you had a year to live?After a coffee catch-up and hearing her story about her daughter Lauren who'd sadly passed away from brain cancer when she was just 17, I quickly learned about Lauren's bucket list. And one thing in particular that she had on there. In this episode Kerri speaks about being a mother who had to watch their child put up a fight every single day, but what she learned because of Lauren also. And how the lessons and love that Lauren left behind have been helping Kerri create a life filled with adventure and seeking discomfort.Stay tuned until the end for the big surprise!

Here's the back story with Jordan Frank (who I always knew as Jeff from primary school days).His new stage name Jordan Frank, is in memory of two of his closest friends who sadly passed away and a way Jordan chooses to honour his late friends, who he considered family was to create a stage name that would enable him to take them with him whenever he stepped foot on stage. Jordan's love of music and dance was how I always remembered him as a kid. And it was thanks to those two arts that he managed to find his way back from years of substance abuse and mental health issues. The abuse he endured both self-inflicted and also upon him built the foundation of the type of work and life's purpose he now has to create a better future for the youth within this community.In this episode we talk about:- Jordan's story on how he overcame his addiction- How music is an art that can heal anyone- How the mind remembers childhood trauma's even when we don't. - Sexual abuse with both men and women- The limitations we place on ourselves and how to remove them to move forward in life.At the end of this episode I also surprise Jeff with something he never saw coming as a way to say thank you for a small act of kindness he showed me in Grade 1.

Their values of creativity, inclusivity, passion, resilience, and independence put the fun back into learning and play.Together they have created an imaginary world of The Mushkins, where children can be curious, learn and grow. And it's through their adventure stories they show children how to take on challenges that foster grit and purpose within.In this episode we talk about:- Fostering creativity in children and nurturing resilience- Turning creativity into play as adults- The story of how they wrote their first book - Creating a safe space for kids to be themselves and express who they really areFOLLOW THE MUSHKINS: @themushkinsSUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL - https://bit.ly/30CQrO3 CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM: @moniquemedvedFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON INSTAGRAM: @thefinallyfoundpodcastFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/37VZu2OAnd lastly, thanks for being here :)
I get really real in this episode. I open up about everything I've been understanding about life and death, limitations and trying to understand myself on a level where I'm actually starting to feel worthy of everything that I've been asking the universe for, for years. We all go through the motions of highs and lows on the daily, but what I'm finding is it all just comes down to self-awareness. The more aware you become of the little things on the daily, the more you start to build focal awareness and you become less prone to other people's bullshit. In this episode I talk about - Convincing my dad to quit his job after almost 27 years. - Meeting a woman who showed me how life goes on after death- Why self-awareness is King and the more you develop that, the better you become as a player in this game of life. - What you need to do to actively chase your dreams- A really exciting project I'm working onAnd more stuff that's been on my mind lately...SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL - https://bit.ly/30CQrO3 CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM: @moniquemedvedFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON INSTAGRAM: @thefinallyfoundpodcastFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/37VZu2OAnd lastly, thanks for being here :)

There's a lot to be said for the little things and in this episode we explore why the little things need to happen before bigger shifts can take place.

On this episode I brought Lena back to play a game - We're Not Really Strangers. We each drew questions from the deck of cards and asked the other person to answer.

In this episode we talk about: - Reconnecting with self and what that means- Choosing love every day with every person in your life- Unlocking your desires and allowing the universe to give you what you need to get you to where you need to go.- Having conversations with the different parts of you that may be wounded, hurt or traumatised.

In this episode, I talk about being diagnosed (officially) with ADHD. Turns out it's actually a lot more common in adults these days to be misdiagnosed and spend their entire lives thinking something is 'wrong' with them. This was something I'd experienced my entire life. The constant need to 'fix' myself was something that I felt like I was failing at always. But since finding out more about what ADHD actually is and how it's affected me in my life, well, life started to make a hell of a lot more sense, to be honest. I feel like a lot keeps changing in my life because everything that is happening is happening a) super quick and b) I'm becoming more aware of myself in the process of it all. The feeling of being misunderstood my entire life has been something that I battled with as not only a kid but also as a teenager and so this diagnosis, it's filled in a lot of the blanks for me as well as helped me cut a lot of old ties and limiting beliefs that were no longer serving me in the slightest. It's been a wild ride so far my friends and it kind of feels like it's just beginning.SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL - https://bit.ly/30CQrO3 CONNECT WITH ME ON INSTAGRAM: @moniquemedvedFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON INSTAGRAM: @thefinallyfoundpodcastFOLLOW FINALLY FOUND ON YOUTUBE: https://bit.ly/37VZu2OAnd lastly, thanks for being here :)
Adam is quite possibly one of the happiest guys I have ever met, from the moment we had our first conversation there was an instant 'hey, you're weird - I like you' moment. The first conversation we had was 2 months ago when Adam opened up and shared his struggles growing up feeling like he was different and often misunderstood, not just by the people around him, but even he himself. Fast forward into his late twenties, the discovery that he had been living his life undiagnosed with ADHD was the internal shift he needed to realise that he wasn't broken, he was different because he had been gifted a super power. This conversation may be one of my favourite ones. We discuss what it's like viewing the world through the eyes of someone with ADHD and how the brain functions when undertaking simple conversations and tasks. Adam's view on his diagnosis is one he if grateful for because it gifted him a life filled with meaning, purpose and gratitude and now wants to help others see that ADHD is a super power if you use it to your advantage. In this episode we talk about:- What is ADHD- How can you be diagnosed? What are the symptoms or signs?- Where to after the diagnosis?- Tools and coping mechanisms to help you manage ADHD- Reparenting the inner child who may be wounded - Understanding yourself on a whole new level This conversation was one that changed my life and I'm so grateful to Adam for being open enough to share his experience with me at a cafe 2 months ago.

Kane is the founder of The Power In You Project. A local organisation that provides a holistic hub for their clients and creates a sense of community. Kane's passion for helping people who suffer from addiction comes off the back of a unique lived experience having been addicted to drugs for the better part of 12 years.On getting clean he noticed there was a critical gap in the system for people seeking treatment and wanted to bridge that gap himself.But more importantly, Kane understood first-hand what it was like to be in the grips of an addiction and believes that if someone can build up the courage to ask for help, that they need that support immediately and should not be placed on a waitlist.
