Getting Shiggi With...

Well, well, well. Would you look at that? It's a Wednesday AND happens to fall on the 1 year anniversary of my mother killing herself. So I'm shooting from the hip and just reviewing what I went through, feelings and thoughts as time went on and maybe even how I'm trying to accept my new reality and start walking forwards in my own wake. It's a chunky one coming in at just over an hour, which was unintentional. I could have recorded it, but I'd be doing anyone who needs it a disservice

Holy potato, folks! It's an episode out on a Wednesday at 6pm UK time! I joke, I have no concept of time right now...but what I do have is a concept of existence of some kind. Still on lockdown in the UK. The industries that I thrive in won't be seeing the end of this any time soon so I've allowed full on introversion and questions to do their thang. Which has resulted in some fun discoveries, and a few baby steps forwards. www.enterthedroid.com being one of them (if you know, you know)...If you want to see a bit of my podcast live or just reach out and have a natter, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Episode (c) 19. What a time to be alive....I think we're all going to have COVID-19 fatigue soon, what with every single conversation hovering or swimming in the hot topic of the pandemic currently sweeping our little planet. I've been in self-isolation for 10 days and I'm not coping so well, if you listen to this podcast you can hear the cogs in my brain start stalling towards the end...observing our own behaviours is rather hilarious when it comes to solitary confinement.If you want to see a bit of my podcast live or just reach out and have a natter, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

2020 has been a little bit rough, eh? Well...thankfully earlier this week I got a little bit of fire back in my heart thanks to Stephen Fry (he doesn't know, but thank you for being you!) and we're carrying on with the lovely whimsical off-the-cuff style podcasts I started with. Dive in to hear why this happened, how things are going to move going forward and some big...quite frankly SCARY AF news...that you'll be the first to know (when you know) If you want to see a bit of my podcast live or just reach out and have a natter, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Ew. We're back. I took a break because I felt like it. This is me gently easing myself back into this gloriously hot bath of podcasting about ridiculous things. I may sound like I've eaten a frog. I promise it's not permanent. It's short and sweet this week, back into the full swing of things next week! There are 4 books to go for Season 2....let me know what you want to hear or talk about for the next few seasons.If you want to see a bit of my podcast live or just reach out and have a natter, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

A repeat author?! Why, yes. Alain De Botton - The Architecture of Happiness (The Secret Art of Furnishing Your Life) had to feature as it helped shape a pivotal point in my 20's just after getting out of the drain-hole of clinical depression and being inspired to look at the world of Architecture. Of course, there is a story or two intermingled with the ideations and lamentations of why Architecture even "is" - albeit very lightly. I'm no scholarly psychologist or philosopher, so don't expect anything ground breaking. But if you hate pebble dashing as much as I do and find New Builds in the UK reprehensible at best, come have a listen!If you want to see a bit of my podcast live or just reach out and have a natter, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Episode 5 of the book season. Today's got a bit emotional! Unintentionally but when you're talking about a book you read to understand your dad and how life must have been for him in a concentration camp, it's going to happen. Understandably the episode is shorter, but you definitely need to have a listen to see why. If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

A beautiful segue from the last episode, where we looked at Seth Godin writing about the Lizard Brain. One of his sources comes in the form of Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. The accessibility and simplicity of this book covering what he calls The Resistance, should be read by everyone. Period. ....I'd end my description there, but there's a touch of radical honesty, a story of calamity and a reason why I hate gyms that includes hamsters.

Oh Snap! It's a sexy segue into another book episode. This time it involves anti-squatting, Evian water deliveries, working for the government and why all of that mess in my life boils down to the very existence of Seth Godin's Linchpin. I got a bit carried away with the stories (why else are we here, though?!) and pull out the one bit of the book that really blew my mind, made me uncomfortable and got my candy ass to go do the work! If you're finding life a bit sludgy right now, I implore you to read this book.

Straight into Season 2 Episode 2 (or episode 12 of this whole damn thing, because we're going for that full 100-episodes before I can stop!) and this book fundamentally changed my life course. A touch dramatic? Maybe - but it's the truth... Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek is probably a book many of you have read, maybe even some of you are a bit of a fan (I know I am) so the words I share will be no surprise to you but the stories around them are fun and different - what relevance does my being naked have in any of this? Well, you gotta listen, obviously.If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

It's a new season! (or episode 11, if you're that way inclined). For the next 10 episodes, I shallow dive (we'll be here for months if I went in deep, lol) into 10 books off my shelf that helped shape, inspire and create the Shiggi you hear and know today. We start off with what I lovingly term a "brief introduction to Philosophy for dummies" - mostly because I keep on returning to it year after year. So, join me as I skim through the topcoat of existential paint that is philosophy.If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Confirmation bias be damned! But wait, you're wrong, and I'm right - right? Wrong. Thinking, folks. It's fun, it's free and it can be challenging as it can be liberating at times. And yet we're living in perilous times where our very own social bubbles may well be making this ever-popular philosophical pastime a thing of myth and censored legends.

9 episodes, yo!So, last episode it was all about Fantastic Pets and where to find them (and Icarus). This episode's all about The importance of finding Good Hooman Beans. Community if you will! I dive into my little quirky adventures of using social media to change my circle of hoomans, as well as an amazing heartwarming surprise experience I could give as a result of being part of a quirky clan of Earth beans. If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Pets! Whether you're a pet lover, not quite a fan or can't stand them....folks around the world have them for one reason or another. In this episode I give you an insight as to why I have my beloved wrinkly hairless Sphynx cat who looks more like a fuzzy ball bag...has the name Captain Peanut or Scrotey McScrote (to name but a few) and is my Thunderbuddy. If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

When you're living multiple lives, you gotta have a happy place! The problem is I want to live in mine forever instead of just at the weekend. This episode has more stories than I originally anticipated, including pulling a complete blank for a moment. I invite you to think about *YOUR* happy place and maybe sharing it with others because it can make them happy too. You can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Oh me oh my, it's Episode 6 and we're getting stuck in with the F-Word. But what is the F-word? Well it's not four letters, that's for sure. I may well have had to wear an itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny pink bikini and stripper heels but you'll just have to listen to the episode to figure out what gives. Today's episode is a bit special because my home internet is down..so I've had to get schwifty and use a gamer headset and my phone with the anchor.fm app to get this podcast up and running for 6pm like it must do EVERY WEDNESDAY FOREVER OMG!

It all started in November 2017....after a near nervous breakdown and fleeing the country for 2 weeks to go climb the rocks of the Dolomites and marvel at the Architecture of Paris, your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Shig set her sights on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She committed herself to 100 sessions. She's wondering why she's still writing in third person - I don't know. It's another long but fun episode, folks! Of course, there are stories...one where I'm trying to avoid throwing shade, only you can tell if I did well. I did a bit of a live stream on Instagram but my app blocker cut that short, still, come have a giggle https://www.instagram.com/elshig You can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.

Back once again, this is not the greatest podcast in the world - no: this is just a tribute. It's happening, it's episode 3! My name's Shiggi (yes, really) and this podcast is all about life, things, and whimsical ideas. A one-take delivery of a topic that's on my mind that usually has one of my life stories shoved in there as well as take home thoughts for yourself. In today's episode it's all about being Tenacious, what it means, how it featured in my life and how you can take that and realise it features in yours too!If you want to see a bit of my podcast live, come say hi on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ShiggimusYou can find this podcast elsewhere:Getting Shiggi With...Podcast Available at:1.
