When you're in the midst of grief, it can be close to impossible to keep up the habits that you know are good for you - eating well, regular exercise, social outlets.

And that's completely natural!

But what we find many of the people we work with do, is they slowly find their way back into a healthier groove.

Which is why in this episode of Life, Loss and Legacy, I've asked Perry Adolphus to come on and discuss what that healthier groove can involve.

Perry's a Strength & Conditioning Coach, with deep experience in helping people from every walk of life (not super gym bros or athletes!) improve their quality of life through regular exercise.

In our conversation, we discuss:

• The power exercise has over our mood and mental health
• The 7 primal movements and why they're so useful
• The importance of rest
• Why looking at exercise as punishment or penance is sabotaging your long-term self
• The basics of nutrition

And lots more!

Buying a home is a big, important step.

But taking that step on your own, perhaps for the first time, as you navigate your way through the tunnel of bereavement - that's a massive leap.

Which is why independent financial adviser, Jordan Vaka, invited Adele Andrews and Lauren Allingham on for this week's episode.

Adele is a professional, experienced and empathetic mortgage broker who provides tips and advice for people wondering how getting a mortgage to buy your first home works - again, maybe for the first time.

And Lauren is a caring, thorough and detailed buyers advocate who regularly helps people buy their dream home in and around Melbourne. Lauren helps demystify the specific steps and considerations that arise when buying your own home.

In this, the 15th episode of our PlanningSolo podcast series - Life, Loss & Legacy - independent financial adviser Jordan Vaka speaks with Vendor and Buyers Advocate, Lisa Britcliffe.

Lisa takes us through her background in real estate. And how her whole-of-person approach to real estate now contrasts with the more...traditional approach others are taking.

Lisa explains how her experience in coaching people through another of life's biggest transitions (divorce) has left her with the skills and empathy to help widows and their families navigate the often painful journey of selling the family home.

The sensitivity and care required to take people through such a sensitive - and daunting - exercise is something Jordan and Lisa spend a lot of time talking about. They also discuss the logistical elements of the process too - from whether staging a property is worth it, the primary way to market a property in this day and age and why it's so important to work with somebody who puts your interests first.

We'd love to hear what you thought, so reach out to Jordan or Lisa via any of hte following channels.
