Over the past year, I have caught myself reading posts or emails and thinking, this sounds polished, but it does not feel like a person. And the moment I sense that, I check out a little bit. Not because the message is bad, but because I want to hear someone’s real thoughts. Their perspective. Their personality.

What made this topic hit home for me is realizing that it was happening to me too. The more I used AI to help with wording or structure, the more I started to second guess myself. I would write something and then wonder, is this good enough, or should I run it through a tool just to be sure?

This episode is not about being anti AI. I use it. It can be incredibly helpful. But I have also learned that there is a line between using a tool and slowly handing over your voice.

And that is the tension I want to explore today. How do we stay supported by technology without becoming dependent on it. How do we keep showing up as ourselves in a world that makes it very easy to sound like everyone else.

This episode is a reflection on how we got here, from a time when attention was local and limited to a world where algorithms compete for it around the clock, and what that constant stimulation might be doing to our nervous systems, our relationships, and our sense of self. It is not about blaming technology, because we cannot really opt out anymore, but about reclaiming some agency over where we place our attention.

I also share a small experiment I tried. Eating lunch without my phone. Just me, my food, and a notebook. It sounds simple, almost ridiculous, but it reminded me how good it feels to be present with myself and how easily we lose that when we are constantly consuming everyone else’s voices.

Because maybe the goal is not to unplug completely.

Maybe it is to create small guardrails that help us choose our attention instead of having it taken from us.

This episode is about that moment - the wobble that happens when momentum meets reality. When inspiration disappears, motivation dips, and you start wondering if it’s even worth continuing. Instead of forcing a polished topic, I decided to talk about the resistance itself and what it really takes to keep showing up when things stop feeling new and exciting.

Because consistency isn’t always about inspiration.

Sometimes it’s just about putting on your shoes and doing the thing anyway, knowing you’ll rarely regret showing up, but you often regret not trying.

Just heard Kyle has a press conference lined up for Tuesday arvo, and ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority) have announced they are imposing additional licence conditions on ARN for any show featuring Kyle or Jackie for 5 years. They are a little late to the party too, so maybe I'm right on time. Haha

Obviously, this is my experience only and is not health advice.

But that all changed when after a number of years of huge wins, his work life came crashing down around him... losing everything and throwing him back to a place where he has had to completely start over.

I wanted to know how this experience has been for him, and how he's bouncing back (if at all). I was also curious to chat with him about this idea I've been thinking a lot about lately... which is, what happens when our best days are behind us?

Hear the backstory as Karly unpacks the last 3 life changing months.

Karly is about to kick off a brand new program, VOICE - a 6 week exploration of YOUR voice. Find out more here. We kick off Nov 1st.

To see and hear more of Karly's insights, follow her on instagram

Today Karly explores how ME she can be. How she can revel in all her perfect imperfection and sing with joy, abandon, and FEELING! She looks at how she can create that feeling of full expression in all areas of her life. Karly challenges you, the listener, to reach out and explore the areas of your life where you think; "I can't do that" or "I'm no good at that" and ask yourself what if that wasn't true? Where are you pulling back? How far can you take expression? How free can you be? What would happen if you tuned into YOUR frequency?

Want to get tuned in to your Freq? Join Karly and Find you Freq HERE

PS - The song was - Ben Folds Five - Battle of Who Could Careless

Are you ready to stand for your dream? To ditch the BS and BE who you actually fu*king want to be?

So the question is: What is YOUR truth? What are you willing to stand for? What is the dream that you are willing to stop dicking around with all the other BS and fully give yourself over to and start being a human BEING, not a human doing?

Listen in as Karly talks about how bringing musical practice into her life, has helped to change her view on following the rules. With the boundaries that music provides, Karly has found herself softening into the rules help to create space for creativity. This then allows her to step out of the rebel (control freak) persona and move more deeply into the role of creator and artist.

3:31 - "the rebel me is like f**k you! I don't practice, I don't need to practice, I'm just inherently worthy"

5:19 - Jonathan Fields - The good life project podcast - Power Norms and rules.

7:27 - Press the keys and THAT'S the creating!

11:34 The rule breaker persona is a control freak and doesn't want to be told what to do.

And to the avid Karlosophies listeners out there, Ros and Karly are partnering for a wonderful cause. Ros is generously donating 20% of any reading by a Karlosophies listener to support one of Karly's good friends little boy, Ryder.

Ryder has Neuroblastoma - a rare form of very aggressive childhood cancer. He's been confined to a hospital for the best part of the last 6 months, while going through 7 rounds of chemo and he still has 12-28 months of radiation and immunotherapy to go. Even still, the likelihood of the cancer returning is around 50%.

There is a trial in the states, which Ryder is eligible for, that is showing great promise and starts at around $160,000US. In order to go, Kath needs to raise around AU$250-300k... and Karly wants them to go very badly.

If you'd like to take advantage of Ros' generous offer to donate 20% of any reading, please use the code RYDER at checkout.

And if you'd like to throw some cash on Kath and Ryder's way, or you'd like to learn more about Ryder's journey, please visit: https://www.gofundme.com/rydersjourneyustrial

This speaking event turned out to be a celebration of all of the work that she has done on getting to know herself,and learning to like herself… and it's paying off.

She also gives a sneak preview on how she wants Karlosophies to run in the coming episodes…she wants it to be aligned with the direction she is heading to.

She and her husband founded the North Byron studio - The Yoga Shack – where she hosts one of her favourite events, the sacred women's sharing event 'Stories from the Sisterhood', along with the surprisingly popular 'The Yoga of Communication' which is as successful in yoga settings as it is in business, 'Living Hormoniously™' and 'Mindfulness Progression for Addiction Recovery'. She focused on yoga for healing and her specialties are in illness, injury and addiction recovery with classical breath techniques at the core of 80% of her clinic work.

She works with sovereign awakened women entrepreneurs to incorporate the art of feeling sacred into their business through rituals, ceremonies, and the divine feminine.

Let's talk about it at Show Up, Speak Up on Facebook.

She recommends reading The Dance of Anger by Harriet Lerner for the best insights on how to manage anger, resentment and guilt.

A journalist by profession, a longevity enthusiast, a former beer-drinking cigarette-smoking workaholic, a vegan, teetotaler, TV producer and thought leader on living an exceptional life. All of these, some current and some past, comprise the varied background of Marcus Pearce – CEO of The Wellness Couch podcast network and founder of the Exceptional Life Blueprint.

Combining almost 20 years across the sports, health, wellness and personal growth industries, Marcus is a one-of-a-kind speaker, MC, trainer and facilitator.

With over 20 shows and 2000+ podcasts on the network, Marcus is uniquely positioned to provide insight into the health and wellness industry.

Whilst in the thick of being vegan and raising his first child, Marcus became enamoured with the question "why do some people live a long time and others don't?" His journalistic instincts kicked in and the results were more than surprising. Starting in 2013, Marcus created the 100 Not Out podcast alongside Dr, Damian Kristof, and in 2014, put his findings into a program and teachable system called the Exceptional Life Blueprint. Today, Marcus shares the principles of an exceptional life through keynote and corporate engagements, live events, online programs, retreats and 1:1 mentoring.

After retiring for ten years, she became a social entrepreneur - making a difference to poverty stricken children through her business Moeloco, which means "dream crazy". Moeloco designs and manufactures rubber flip flops that leave positive messages in the sand like "I am Peace", "Because I'm Happy", and "Be Grateful". For every pair of flip flops sold, Moeloco donates a pair of canvas shoes to a child in need - protecting them from injury and illness, and allowing them to attend school.

Kathy's vision for a "dream crazy" world is one where profits from product sales are used to give back to the community, and help those who really need it.

You can connect with Kathy and grab your own pair of flip flops at https://www.moeloco.com

Amy and her husband have 5 kids in their blended family and yes, they know what causes it so please don't ask or she'll make shit real awkward for you.

She started her online business in 2009 and tried to fit into a little box of elevator speeches and niches and "5 secrets to blah, blah, blah" for yeeeeeears. And shit just didn't work out for her the way she wanted.

She considers herself privileged to curate stories about amazing, interesting women, their journeys whilst creating a business and beyond. The good, the bad and the ugly. Her intention is to inspire and motivate women to create their own success through positive editorials and interviews.

Get ready for some nuggets of gold like:

Lisa: 'The way I get shit done, is to just do it'.

Karly: 'I make a list and work out which one is the banana, which one is the ice-cream cake... and which one is the fucking gross frog... and then I eat that fucker first'.

Lisa: 'People don't necessarily see the mess behind the scenes, or the flabby arse, or whatever. And that's cool, 'cause I'm getting this shit done for now.'

Karly: 'I never work in my pyjamas. I think it's disgusting and it makes me feel gross.'
