Lettuce tell you a story

After my walk this morning, I found a ginormous pile of lettuce leaves in the kitchen. They were picked, washed and they were now drying on a big tray. When Adyashatmypants saw me looking at it, she told me Sean brought it back from Chase’s after BJJ this morning. (Chase and Anna have an awesome … Continue reading

Toe separators, Maca root and the nervous system

Last night in the kitchen, my roommate Sean announced he was getting toe separators from his yoga teacher Steve. I asked him why. “I want to separate my toes”, he replied. Oh. Is that what toe separators are for? Separating toes? I had no idea 🤦‍♂️ This is classic Sean. He likes to answer questions … Continue reading

the semicolon of death

5 years ago, I was assaulted. I was working on a website at the time. Changing colours (Lemon Glacier or Rocket Metallic?), adding elements (popups or no popups?) and generally just making it look siiiiiick. I was having a blast, working all day and also well into the night while pounding coffee and listening to … Continue reading

slow = fast

So says one of my teachers in the world of nervous system healing. In the Western world, we’re addicted to fast. Fast food. Fast cars. Fast results. If it’s not fast, we don’t want it. If it’s slow, we think something’s wrong. That the thing is broken. That it’s not for us. I used to … Continue reading

you’re out of your mind

It’s what people say when they don’t want to listen. “You’re out of your mind bro.” When it’s a joke, it’s no big deal. Everyone knows you’re not really out of your mind. You’re not really insane. Your cousin Dave is just fucking with you. But sometimes, it’s not a joke. You’re literally out of your mind. You’re no … Continue reading

you can’t rush your healing

Here he comes! Kano. The regal, kingly dog. He sprints for the back door as I stand by it, ready to open it when he gets close. Then… BANG! Poor Kano 🥲 Instead of sprinting out the back door, he sprints INTO the back door. In slo-mo, I might add. Just like the movies. With … Continue reading

need a hand?

It was lunchtime with Adyashatmypants (aka. Elly Mac, my sister). We were on the main road that runs through the Sacred Valley, at a tiny little Peruvian restaurant.. and we had no idea what to expect since we’d only been in Peru for a few days. Hell, we hardly knew enough Spanish to even order … Continue reading

Trust your anger

Dinner in Sydney with my Dad and 2 of his friends. One of those food complexes with a bunch of different restaurants. Thai. Indian. Nepalese. Chinese. But not Australian. For some reason, “Australian” isn’t really a cuisine. If it was, it’d probably be steak, meat pies and lots of beer 🤷‍♂️ We find a table … Continue reading

Hurt people hurt, healthy people heal

Just a quick one today to change things up. Here’s a quote from Peter Levine, best-selling author of Waking The Tiger, one of the classics in the world of nervous system healing: “True human enlightenment will only happen when each and every single person on the planet has learned how to regulate their very own … Continue reading

When death stares you in the face

SHIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTT!?!???!!!!! I slammed on the brakes and felt the back wheel begin to slide as my body braced for impact. This was NOT good 😑 I was in Thailand, racing down the highway on an orange Kawasaki Z800, on my way back from Doi Inthanon, the highest mountain in Thailand. Everything was good… until it … Continue reading
