One Moment Please podcast

02/12/2024

If you have been wondering were the podcast has been, well there has been a few reasons why there hasn’t been episodes released recently but the latest is that I found myself in a bit of mischief. Apparently I am too uncoordinated to navigate stairs. No I wasn’t pushed, a point my husband was keen to make to the ambos! (He wasn’t home.) After weeks of being ignored (ladies how frequently does this happen to us) the doctors finally listened to me and ordered an MRI. The damage is worse than they had thought. I knew it was bad but didn’t think it was this bad. Looks like I will probably need surgery. I’m aiming for the podcast to be back in the New Year but given a few things are up in the air at the moment it’s hard to say an exact date.

Thank you for your understanding. This is a lesson in patience, not my strong suit. I am learning to hear explanations of the damage/ injury without wanting to expel my breakfast. I’m also learning that I’m more squeamish than I thought. Most of all, this is a lesson of overcoming a little adversity in life. I am able to draw strength from the amazing guests that have gone through much MUCH more challenging obstacles in life and overcome.

Thank you for your patience. I do the podcast for you so I’m thankful that you will stick around until I come back.

I look forward to bringing you more incredible guests in the New Year.

Love,
Fiona

NEW EPISODE ALERT! I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Rod Henderson on the poddy. Rod is a military veteran who has recently completed a book about his 22 years in the military. He is excited to share his journey and writing process on an upcoming podcast. The book is a culmination of his experiences and is set to be released in the next week. He never expected to be on this incredible writing journey, but is grateful to have the opportunity to share his story with others.
Rod's memoir, "Stop Screaming, I'm Scared Too," (amazing title by the way) was inspired by his volunteering at the war memorial, where he began sharing his story with the staff. This raw and transparent account of his mental health journey eventually turned into a book. Despite being a first-time author, Rod overcame apprehension and laid his story bare for the world to read. The title of the book itself was a reminder of a patch he had won from a mate in a poker game, showing his sense of humor and resilience in the face of his struggle.
