Seriously? Literally everything and anything
What could you do differently? The real question should be “what couldn’t you do differently?” … then I’d be wracking my brain to come up with an interesting response. Seriously, honestly and somewhat naively, what actions, choices and activities aren’t at the very least driven by us? Our use of agency and free-will? Yes, I…

I voted Yes! Why didn’t you?
If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? I’d definitely advertise in large letters “I voted Yes! Why didn’t you?”, referring to the Australian Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum held on 14th October 2023. I would use that space to challenge others, those who chose to vote no, those who chose to reinforce…

A Temporal Tango danced to the tune of now.
Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? I’m mindfully aware to remain mentally and emotionally grounded in the present. I definitely try to reflect upon moments of the past which can offer up invaluable and poignant life lessons. However I do not dwell on the past, as what has…

Easy peasy
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? The gift of genuine compassion and purposeful inspiration. With those two traits I’d be set for life, and whatever it throws (or gently offers) at me. What about you?

USyd
What university or universities have you attended? I attended the University of Sydney. It was a mix of old world charm and inner-city ambience. It’s a highly prized University, however in retrospect many of the lecturers and tutors lived in academia glass-houses. Therefore it felt somewhat contrived at times.

What are your biggest challenges? To be completely honest I would have to say “me, myself and I”. I’ve perfected the art of standing in my own shadow and dimming my light. So, as the first day of the new year draws to a close I say “no more! It’s time I realised my true…

More progressive.
How have your political views changed over time? I’m definitely left of the political middle … indeed I quite like it amongst the progressives and liberals, who stand united against racism, fascism, and the further marginalisation of the disenfranchised and vulnerable. I’m definitely more anti-capitalism and definitely more active in terms of supporting climate change,…

I could answer this prompt so many different ways.
List your top 5 grocery store items. However in terms of absolute grocery staples, the following are frequent flyers in my shopping trolley. Yes here in Australia we refer to our shopping dobby-lacky wheeled apparatus as a trolley, and not a cart. go figure! Anyway I digress, drum roll please! Vitasoy unsweetened Almond milk- why?…

Tough question… 🤔
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. It would be a toss-up between hoping people say that I am genuinely authentic, or that I am creatively intelligent. Yet, having just written that I believe I ultimately want people to say that I’m emotionally intelligent, embodying high levels of intuitive compassion and empathy…
