We all make mistakes but mistakes are the stepping stones to life's greatest success. How we deal with failure and 'getting back on the horse' is more important than how we fell off in the first place. When they do get back on the horse, some people struggle to ride on or they may lack the confidence to take control or the right mindset or mentality to follow through or ride faster. This episode provides some guidance and inspiration on how to approach getting back on the horse and setting a plan with the right mindset and mentality to take control and be confident to gallop forward.

We all have daemons. Some daemons we create (although or however unintentional) and some we inherit, despite not asking for them or not wanting them. Nevertheless, once we are stuck with our daemons we have only 2 choices; We let the daemons control us or we fight back, take control and eradicate the daemons, turning them into guiding Angels, instead and in the case of the story this episode unpacks, turning the results of that process into raging success and opportunity. A year ago Glenn discovered Darcy and engaged team ProPodcast Production to create the Outside Your Comfort Zone Podcast. A year later, more than a podcast production, this duo present a beautiful and deeply inspirational episode with exposure to deep and emotional areas of Darcy's past and the results of what has become a fantastic friendship.This episode that will leave you feeling nothing short of inspired to grab any dull parts of your past by the horns and turn them into a shining light for your future. Enjoy.

Like all things outside your comfort zone, this podcast episode is designed to confront the uncomfortable aspects of our human feelings and emotions. We all live among people grappling with mental health difficulties...we just don't realise it OR if we do, we are totally uncertain and ill-equipped to actually do anything about it...or maybe we just feel way in despair and without the skill and tools we need, to do anything meaningful about it.

Glenn interviews Lindsey Perlman, Clinical Psychologist and owner of her practice  Infocus Psychology; https://www.infocuspsychology.com. Lindsey has a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Her early career background in corporate psychology put her across a volume of individuals, enabling her to direct her capabilities into her own practice, where her work focuses on the assessment and treatment of young adolescents, adolescents and adults with a range of clinical psychological needs, including depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, perinatal and postnatal depression as well as attachment and adjustment issues.    

Together, Glenn and Linsdey unpack the process surrounding; how to manage and deal with  common thoughts about the ones we love, or ourselves: "Am I OK?", "Are they OK?" and "...what can I do" or, "is there anything I can do?".

The episode explores the ins and outs of psychology and the various types of psychology to help the layperson identify or recognise when they, or someone close to them, may need mental help and when and how to go about talking to someone to get the help they need. What are the triggers to look out for, the hints that they may need help or to seek help? How to know when to go see someone and how to go about finding the right someone to talk to? The essential importance of the pairing process, with the right person to talk? 

This episode hopes to equip anyone who can help or who is in need of help, with just enough information to compel others to one small action that can impact and affect massive life change.

3. In the episode, Glenn asks: "What is your threshold for Time?" and requires the definition of time.
Googling the definition of the word ‘threshold’, this is what you get:
"the magnitude or intensity that must be exceeded for a certain reaction, phenomenon, result, or condition to occur or be manifested. "

What is it that will make you stop your world to analyse what you do with your time, how much do you waste, where does it go, are you happy with how you spend it?

A comfort zone is like your guiding compass. If you’re not willing to define it, continually redefine it and confront it, how can you move to the next level of your journey or personal growth? Whatever it is that may be in your way or that you need to challenge, decide upon, that you need to combat, confront or achieve, what principles control your level of comfort, where is your comfort zone? What is your comfort zone? Will yours remain stagnant or will it evolve and grow with you, as you do?

This episode is an introduction, exploring the concept of your comfort zone.
