      <image:title>Past Weekly Journal Editions - Half Mermaid Journal Edition 18 - Latest Podcast Episode 7 of the Half Mermaid Podcast will be released next week. I sit down with Lou Derricks, a truly gorgeous human, whose story is one of ebbs and flows, of courage, determination and growth. I loved our conversation which touched so many aspects of life…..on doing uncomfortable things, mindfulness, finding child like glee, finding our intuition, trying new things, on what is enough, being in your body and kindness for ones self. I cant wait to share with you. You will be able to find it here and on Spotify</image:title>

      <image:title>Past Weekly Journal Editions - Half Mermaid Journal Edition 14 - I wrote this a while back but there are still things that stir my fear despite how many dark swims I have done since. Thought I would reshare in the depths of winter when shorter days require a few of us to be braver in the early morning or evening just to get our open water fix! “There was a big part of me that was also so curious, determined to experience this, determined to win over the incessant chatter my lizard brain was volunteering. Determined to wash off the last last two years of Covid-19 confinement and numbness, with an experience that would not only push me beyond my comfort zone, but would redefine the very way I could experience my body on this planet. To use all my senses and feel all my emotions”</image:title>

      <image:caption>In edition 4, we shared that we were in discussions with a distributer of global warehousing presence. It quickly became obvious our growth and marketing plan was no match for the world distributor, who deals with significant volumes of product per organisation. Speaking to a few more distributors helped us realise we will need to manage products ourselves. At least to start off with. Following on from the edition 5 update, the costs have come in for having our journal printed locally. Unfortunately this turns out to be significantly more expensive. We will not proceed down this path and are re visiting options for ways to produce and make this personal journal available.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Lou Derricks on doing uncomfortable things, finding mindfulness, intuition and childhood glee. - Have you ever felt you connected with someone effortlessly? Like you have known them forever even though your paths have recently crossed? I am lucky to have crossed paths with this beautiful human, Lou Derricks and felt her kindred spirit in our flowing conversation. On the day we met to record the podcast, we started talking well before the recording started and could have been talking for long after. There was so much to share. We talked about doing uncomfortable things, mindfulness, finding child glee and intuition, how our identity and ego get in the way, and what is enough, being in your body, being kind to your self. In some ways it felt like a journey of becoming. The never ending journey of love and struggle interwoven! That childhood glee is alive in Lou’s smile here.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thank you Lou for sharing so generously!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Podcast - Karen Doyle on community, respecting your own capability, life as an experience and advocacy for the things we love. - Episode 6 of the Half Mermaid podcast is with non other than the matriarch and one of the original founders of the swimming community at Seaford. You will love this episode especially if you are a ‘Seafordian’. What struck me when I re listed to our conversation was how honest, direct and un apologetically herself Karen was, a quality of knowing thyself only years and living life can bring. We talk about what it was like for Karen to grow up with Port Philip bay as her back yard, the forming of the Seaford community in all its diversity and wonderful individuals, safety and respecting your own capability in the water, the total support water offers, life as an experience we are fortunate have, advocating and standing up for the things we love, her journey in creative pursuits and arts and so much more.

      <image:title>Podcast - Karen Mulholland on swimming for healing, showing up despite resistance…and tumble turns. - This conversation was such a treat, on many levels. After a long run of rainy days affecting the quality water in the bay, we were so grateful to be sitting on a bench on the pier our favourite swim spot, overlooking clear shimmering waters….and seals in the distance. It was also a treat because I got to spend some time with the gorgeous Maryse Meale. One of many warm hearts that make up the wonderful swimming community at Seaford, her beaming smile and giving nature, be it in her prior career as a mid wife or as a community member are only matched by her good feel energy, musical talent (we love her daily conditions report delivered with adaptations to popular songs); and her much appreciated birthday celebration co - ordinating efforts for all the swimmers in the community; and her prolific water photography hobby. It was also a treat because I absolutely loved our conversation which felt so organic (background noises included as we were in the open) and we touched on so many real things……what pulls us to the water, how the water releases what the body holds on to, body image, and tips for cold water swimming and so much more. I hope you enjoy Maryse’s story and that it resonates with aspects of your life and helps you with your water practice. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Maryse Meale.</image:title>

      <image:title>Podcast - Maryse Meale on Release, What pulls us to the water, Community, Body Image and so much more. - This conversation was such a treat, on many levels. After a long run of rainy days affecting the quality water in the bay, we were so grateful to be sitting on a bench on the pier our favourite swim spot, overlooking clear shimmering waters….and seals in the distance. It was also a treat because I got to spend some time with the gorgeous Maryse Meale. One of many warm hearts that make up the wonderful swimming community at Seaford, her beaming smile and giving nature, be it in her prior career as a mid wife or as a community member are only matched by her good feel energy, musical talent (we love her daily conditions report delivered with adaptations to popular songs); and her much appreciated birthday celebration co - ordinating efforts for all the swimmers in the community; and her prolific water photography hobby. It was also a treat because I absolutely loved our conversation which felt so organic (background noises included as we were in the open) and we touched on so many real things……what pulls us to the water, how the water releases what the body holds on to, body image, and tips for cold water swimming and so much more. I hope you enjoy Maryse’s story and that it resonates with aspects of your life and helps you with your water practice. Without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Maryse Meale.</image:title>

      <image:title>Podcast - Half Mermaid.                     A short introduction. - A little bit about Half Mermaid and me. Half Mermaid is about sharing the incredible gifts the open water offers. Being in the water has the capacity to move me and you, just like powerful questions can. This podcast is about sharing stories that can move our heart and soul. It is about the ways we can find and reconnect with ourselves. It is about meeting others on this journey and sharing the things that bind us - open water, stories, joy and sorrow, happiness and suffering- as we walk together and alone in search of self and meaning. Water is a place where nothing else matters. Where earthly demands and constraints have no hold. Being in the water is about finding the self we lost, long time ago when we were told who to be and how to behave. It is about recognising there is a side to us, a part of us that is free, un restrained, wild, undefined and waiting to find expression, no matter how old we are.</image:title>
