Do you know who you are in the face of danger?
Adam Kavanagh is an Australian survivalist who has dedicated much of the last decade to getting back to basics and living off the land in the remote areas of northern Australia. Initially triggered by a health crisis and then evolving into a way he chose to live, his deep connection to nature has profoundly shaped his understanding of bushcraft and survival skills.
Adam was invited to learn and hang out with the Indigenous communities of Doomagee, where he spent nearly five years living solo, aside from the times he spent with the locals. This experience deepened his understanding of what it truly means to live in harmony with the elements and natural cycles, the necessity to know who you are in the face of a wild beast, to hunt and live off the land while embracing the unpredictability of Mother Nature.
He gained national and international recognition as a participant on the reality show Naked and Afraid, describing the experience as life-changing. Surviving 21 days in the harsh conditions of the African desert tested his limits and showcased his resilience. Adam later returned for Naked and Afraid XL, where he faced new challenges in the Colombian badlands, further demonstrating the importance of teamwork and resourcefulness in survival situations.
In addition to his television experiences, Adam leads guided tours into the bush, taking participants on immersive experiences that reconnect them with nature. These tours are transformative; many participants find themselves challenged physically and mentally in ways they never expected. Stepping outside their comfort zones, they learn vital survival skills while discovering their own resilience and strength. The experience often leads to profound personal growth, fostering a deeper appreciation for the natural world and a sense of community among participants.
Kavanagh’s approach to survival emphasises mental toughness, adaptability, and the significance of community. He believes that survival is as much a psychological challenge as it is a physical one.

Michelle Palasia is the first guest on Deep Currents for a very good reason.
Deep Currents is all about the stories that connect us and the wisdom that helps us remember who we are and what we are.
From my 12 years immersed in Rites of Passage work, I know how babies are born—including the mother’s state, the birth itself, and the care of both mother and baby in the early years—shapes the rest of their lives. In the creation of life, the connection to the core of our Spirit is either nurtured or fractured. This connection is key to our capacity for wholeness, intimacy, relationships, joy, pleasure, and a sense of belonging.
The wounds we see in our hearts and humanity often stem from power structures that put self-interest above communal well-being. These structures are driven by those who seek personal gain at any cost. As an expression of this mindset, colonisation has caused deep fractures in our societies and cultures. When cultures are destroyed by invasion, theft, manipulation, and dominance, the sacred rites, traditions, and values that connect us to ourselves, each other, the natural world, and Life’s greater intelligence are lost. As a result, people become disoriented and disconnected. The tradition of birth is one of those that has been lost.
In many Indigenous cultures, birth is a ceremony central to the mother’s innate wisdom and her natural ability to bring her baby into the world, listen to her baby, and be the authority over her own body and birth. It represents a transition of death and rebirth, where the maiden is left behind, and a deep sense of power is activated. Growing a human without outsourcing decisions, having well-being and authority outside of herself, and birthing her baby undisturbed initiates the mother into this activation.
✹ The energetics and patterns of abusers, on a micro and macro level, in relationships, communities, cultures and countries.
✹ Michelle’s path from the shadows of abuse in a relationship with her two children.
✹ How she left one day with her beautiful sons, a bag of clothes prompted by a deep knowing that it was time.
✹ The reality of how incredibly challenging it is to leave a relationship where abuse is present, particularly if it has slowly increased over time.
✹ The birth of Michelle’s sons, how she was silenced, and how she moved through this in menopause.
✹ Why Michelle chose to step away from supporting Birth in hospitals.
✹ The statistics of intervention in Birth and the consequence on Baby, Mother and family.
✹ Specific examples of disrespect, abuse, coercion and neglect of Mothers, partners and babies in the hospital system.
✹ Some reflection on colonisation and its role in systemic control of Mothers and women and the ripple effect on a person's capacity for wholeness.
✹ Freebirth and why Michelle chooses this path in her work with Birth.

After a three-year break from this podcast, it's back. It has a different name, a more refined intention, and is still connected to the art of storytelling.
I touch on how currents, vibrations, and resonance are the cause and effect of life itself, taking you on a short journey from the beginning of time. I speak to the power of story and how it has shaped history and our culture. I also discuss how currents, connections, and stories can support us in returning to a deep place of belonging.
I share a little about my journey of being smashed into a million pieces by Motherhood and what the future looks like (or doesn't) for my work and creative endeavours.
I look forward to sharing the next episodes soon.
Amber
This podcast is the epitome of an example of organic self-discovery.
Adam shares how it was one foot in front of the other for him. Listening to the big nudges and following the subtle pulls of what felt right for him and of course, moving towards what was both confronting but liberating.
The adjective primal describes something that’s essential or basic, like the primal urge to protect yourself and your family from harm. The Latin root of primal is primus, which means first. If your friend talks about his primal self, he means the most basic, important part of who he is.
Adam is a living breathing experiment of what it looks and feels like when we strip everything back to the basics.
“After lots of reading, research and curiosity, I was lucky enough to stumble across the caveman diet (paleo). Within a few weeks of starting to eat a more nutrient rich wholefood diet, my health dramatically improved. My thyroid was healing.
As I started to improve more and more, I realised getting back to basics and focusing on the simple things were really important for me. Kicking my shoes off and getting barefoot has been powerful.
Working in the mines gave me a high paying job but I was miserable. Shift work and all-nighters were shitty. It was a scary decision, but I quit my job to travel Australia. I had zero plans but to get back into nature and just immerse myself into some beautiful scenery and see where the road would take me.” – Adam Kavanagh

Let me begin with a little appreciation for your patience. It's been a minute between podcasts as they draw the short straw when I'm elbow deep in projects. I can assure you, this is worth it.
Laura Corcoran is a Holistic Psychologist. Her 10 years of experience in the field range from forensic, mental health, and addictions primarily. She's also an incredibly honest, raw, intelligent, kind woman and a Mum of "two light beams", as she puts it.
This episode is vast in its topic and while it began with the contradictions around some of the principles of psychology, we weave in and out of rabbit holes that most people can relate to including repressed trauma emerging in the *stressful* now of life and toxic bonds in passion relationships.
Including:
This little quote is from one of Laura's influences, Peter Levine, and somewhat encompasses the point Laura unpacks around the dire need for embodied practices within psychology treatments.
"If frightening sensations are not given the time and attention they need to move through the body and resolve or dissolve, the individual will continue to be gripped by fear." - Peter A. Levine, Psychologist

I have a really rad friend called Benny and he developed an app based on vice optimisation.
Basically, you check in the next day after getting on the booze and decided if it was worth it or not.
This reflection practice, alone, has proven to support humans in staying in integrity and showing signs of increased happiness by up to 400%.
I actually made that up that stat, but who hasn't been 400% more stoked when they've been able to pause and shift direction from an otherwise destructive path? Exactly.
I borrowed my mate Benny’s idea and held that question up with a magnifying glass to my life and business.
My priority is joy, that's my measuring stick for 'worth it'. Because - joy.
Usually, people look at the return and if it's shiny or powerful looking enough, they sacrifice the juiciness and don't question the burnout factor or the destruction of busyness.
In fact, there's a virus nestled in the minds of humanity that if it had a voice it would say, "The more time and energy you put in, the more worth it, it is. Never mind the collateral damage to your mental health, wellbeing, relationships and happiness - it's the outcome that counts”.
It would also be in Trump's voice…..maybe, I don't know. But you get the idea.
How often are we sacrificing happiness, joy, spaciousness, peace, love and orgasms for a cost we will pay 10 x time, at least, sometime in the future?
I have been known to be guilty of such things and right now is a great time to pull things apart and examine what’s working, honest and fulfilling and what’s not.
Below is a solo-session podcast talking you through the process.
My anthem is - self-lead geniuses for the win. You being the genius, me leading you to the water and you drinking form your own genius pond.
Have a listen here. There is a step by step on the page as well as a 12-minute breakdown of how to do it.
I hope you enjoy looking at the inside of your life; the sacredness and ceremony of energetic flow itself.
And while we are on the topic of things that are worth it.
SuperCharged is almost full. All you fence-sitters, let's jump or you will miss it and it'll be sad and you'll have to turn to Ben and Jerry's half baked ice-cream to grieve the spot you didn't claim as yours.
Proces:
Stpe 1. Grab a piece of paper and split it into three columns.
Column 1 = list.
Column 2 = is it worth it?
Column 3 = action.
Step 2. Write your list of the following in column 1
Step 3. Assess what is worth it or not and mark it with a Y or N.
Step 4. Next to the things that are an N, write what action you will take to either reduce the amount of time/energy/money invested or remove it altogether.
Enjoy. There are no rules, adapt to your life.
Be Honest.

"When I lost the lower half of my leg in an accident, my visions of representing Australia seemed to be destroyed in the blink of an eye. When faced with this situation I had to make a choice, Hide from the world or take it as a challenge and attack it head-on."

Today's episode has four different facets of psychology and healing, explored through the life and profession of Dan Kurlapski.
Whilst a physio in a 'past' life, Dan is an NLP(NeuroLinguisticProgramming) Master Practitioner and Trained in Integral Semantic Facilitation. In short - it involves work on how the language we use, both verbal and non-verbal, has a direct connection to the deepest parts of our sub-conscious, where all of our limitations, beliefs and potential to thrive take place.
From Arctic Leadership Wilderness Adventures to running Online Conscious Festivals week one of international lockdown, Dan has a plethora of experience and wisdom in using the very moments that can potentially break us, to stimulate and expand our personal potential.
Dan has travelled the world learning about meditation, developmental psychology, communication and human performance. He believes in connecting the human with their truest expression of self, building their capacity to serve the collective from a healthy, thriving state whilst having a regenerative impact on this planet.
Some of what we cover includes:
The necessity for a plan V the necessity for flow
The body is the gateway to presence
Surrendering in your body, not your mind
Balancing a healthy masculine drive
It's not about mindset, its about openness
The drawbacks of ‘sticking to your guns’
Being open to opportunity is more important than knowing what’s next
The best plan is TRUST
Presence is the catalyst for creation
Resistance is what creates suffering
Listening is key to making the ‘right decision
Seeking distorts your ability to hear

This episode is about how to use intimacy, with self and others, in order to move through pain, discomfort and resistance to create a life of fulfilment and truest expression as a sovereign being.
Sovereignty in its most simple form is being self-governed. You are not swayed or lead by internal or external environments. You are the leader, the creator and the seer of your world and life, period.
Not only is woman exceptionally fierce and an embodiment of love, but she is also a dear friend of mine who I've been energetically held by. I know the power of her insights and light and am delighted to share them with you all.

Ever wondered what yoga teachers, healers, lightworkers, coaches and therapists mean when they talk about the divine, source, energy or soul? With this wild and wild trauma-informed coach, facilitator and yoga teacher, we unpack and navigate the invisible work of the divine.
Leila is a trauma-informed empowerment coach and spiritual mentor, who lives an adventurous nomadic lifestyle travelling all over the world to inspire healing through creative movement, personal empowerment & deep spiritual connection. You can find Leila with her pup, Folly, teaching yoga classes, leading mindfulness workshops and hosting health and wellness retreats.
So I am in love with Leila, she is one of those humans.
She’s experienced, embodied, honest, grounded, opened hearted, humble, strong fierce and fucking hilarious. This is one of my longer podcasts. We did this live in Costa Rica on the second last day of a retreat she was running that I dropped into to say hi and connect with her and our mutual friends and her co-hosts, Jeremy Goldberg and Traver Boehm.
Yes, life is delicious. Both Leila and I get lost in the flow of this topic and forget multiple times we are even on a podcast recording. We both share intimate experiences we’ve had unpacking some pretty messy times in our hearts and minds so you have real-life examples of how to do some of the work from birth to now that will help you lift and raise your vibration.
We unpack in detail the powerful philosophies of yoga, the soul, trauma, healing and practical techniques to build internal connection, energy and overall re-integration of ourselves as a whole being.
I know, right? Fucking rad.

And whatever the answer….is it a conscious decision.
This podcast made me hurt from laughing and cracked me open with its truth.
It's with the brilliant, Traver Boehm.
Traver is the author of Today I Rise, a TEDx speaker and men’s coach, currently practicing intentional nomadism. He is the founder of the Man Uncivilized Movement redefining the way around the globe experience their masculinity by uniquely blending both the Primal Masculine with the Divine.
What I love about this podcast is that I know in my heart of hearts, just by listening people will have some profound shifts and life insights.
Traver is the kind of man that makes the feminine feel safe because, within himself, he’s done, and continues to do the integration work of his shadows. But most of all, he’d be too humble to say so.
In this episode, we unpack the history of masculine trauma, the light, dark and gold of the shadows and the evolutionary consciousness and importance of our collective healing.
We unpack how he came to write his freshly published and genuinely soul-awakening book, The Uncivilised Man.
A few of the many points we cover:
Find someone you can trust and have an honest conversation with, and share what your written reply to this question is (writing for one minute) “if my pain could speak to me today it would say”…
Pain has depth, you have to go to a depth to reach pain.
You have to breathe to find it and then breathe to heal it.

Part of the discussion of working through oppression and repression and patriarchy is how to prevent this from happening and help heal the unconscious within each person (specifically men in this podcast) that’s fuelling this in the first place. It’s being present with how this was created, building unity rather than separation from what we want to change, and support this through voice, action, unconditional love and expression. We need to heal together, not apart.
