E25 - Mirja Camphausen and Master Mouse

This week’s guest is a mother of three gorgeous human beings, an empath, & a happy wife.
Born and raised in Germany, she has lived & worked in various countries before moving to Sydney in 2012,
Living away from family and friends, in a new country sent her into a deep depression until her body finally collapsed and she had to change her whole way of life physical, mental, and in her soul.
rom depression to purpose: My guest finally had the courage to commit to a writing career which had always been her dream and has written her first children’s book - Master Mouse - now available to order on her website and from all major online booksellers. 
She believes we can heal our world by healing ourselves, one by one, which requires inner work and taking on responsibility for who we truly are...

Episode 19 - Adam Hopper - Sperm Donation World

This week I have Adam Hooper talking to me - a sperm donor,
In 2015 after investing the standard donor processes in Australia he decided he didn't want to expose his 2 existing children to incest or for his sperm to go to someone who wasn't appropriate and created Sperm Donation Australia the first of his Sperm Donation World communities
Currently in Australia more and more people are looking to his community or similar as a way to find a donor and conceive their children over and above the more conventional clinic method.
Adam plans on changing the world for the better by breaking down the stigma and creating acceptance.
