Faith: The Unwavering Belief in Positive Outcomes | Rob Prior | My Self Reliance What if the greatest obstacle to a better future isn't what's happening around you, but what you believe is possible for yourself? When life gets tough, relationships are stretched, finances are under pressure and the future feels uncertain, how do we hold onto hope and keep moving forward? In this inspiring episode of My Self Reliance Community Connections, Kelli Wilkins welcomes back Rob Prior, co-author of "Say Hello to Happiness", to explore Faith: The Unwavering Belief in Positive Outcomes. In this context, you do not need to be religious to have Faith. It's also about trusting yourself, believing in others and developing the confidence that you can overcome life's challenges, even when you can't yet see the solution. Rob shares his personal experiences, insights into the power of belief and the subconscious mind, and lessons from his work with psychotherapist Michael Adamides. Together, we explore how self-limiting beliefs can influence our decisions, relationships, health and happiness — and how greater self-awareness, forgiveness, gratitude and a sense of self-worth can help us move forward. In this conversation, you'll discover: - Why faith and positive expectation matter during uncertain times. - How subconscious beliefs may influence the way we experience life. - The difference between positive thinking and deeply held beliefs. - How childhood experiences and conditioning shape our self-worth. - Why forgiveness can be an important part of emotional healing. - How fear, self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness can hold us back. - Why you are already good enough, regardless of your past. - How gratitude, connection and believing in others can transform your outlook.

Can Alternative Education Prepare Our Kids Better for the Future? In this MySELF Reliance Community Connections interview, Kelli Wilkins speaks with Karina Bright, founder of Scoolendar, about homeschooling, alternative education and the skills young people will need to navigate a rapidly changing world. Karina brings together experience in clinical psychology, pedagogy, adult education and business coaching. She shares how the events of 2020 caused her to reconsider the purpose of education, begin homeschooling her daughter and explore how we can raise young people who are confident enough to ask questions, examine evidence and think for themselves. Her experience introduced her to a vibrant homeschooling world—but also revealed how difficult it can be for families to find local groups, learning activities and support while managing planning and reporting requirements. That inspired Karina to create Scoolendar, a free Australian platform designed to help homeschooling families: 🌱 Find local homeschooling communities 📅 Discover and organise activities and events 🤝 Connect with like-minded families 📝 Record learning experiences and create PDF reports 🔒 Create public or private events and communities 📰 Receive news about free opportunities across Australia This is an honest and wide-ranging conversation for parents, grandparents, educators and anyone interested in helping young people become capable, connected and confident adults.

UNSHAKEN: Emotional Resilience with Cindy Makram | MSR Community Connections What if one of the most important parts of being prepared isn’t what you have stored — but how you respond when life becomes uncertain? In this MSR Community Connections conversation, Kelli Wilkins is joined by Cindy Makram to explore emotional resilience, fear, worry and what it means to become more grounded when the world around us feels uncertain. We often talk about preparedness in terms of food, water, finances, communication and practical skills. But true self-reliance also requires the ability to think clearly, make good decisions and take purposeful action when we are under pressure. During this conversation we explore: 🌻 How unresolved fear can influence our choices 🌻 The relationship between worry and fear 🌻 Why fear can sometimes create urgency — and how we can move from fear-driven preparedness to empowered action 🌻 Recognising, naming and releasing difficult emotions 🌻 Developing greater emotional awareness and resilience 🌻 Becoming more centred when facing uncertainty 🌻 Choosing confidence, curiosity, hope, forgiveness and gratitude as we move forward One of the questions raised during the conversation was particularly relevant to the preparedness community: If fear of the unknown can motivate us to prepare, how do we keep the urgency to take action without allowing fear to control us? That is an important conversation for anyone seeking to become truly self-reliant. At mySELF RELIANCE Australia, we believe preparedness is about much more than accumulating supplies. It is about developing skills, knowledge, strong relationships, emotional resilience and local community connections so that when challenges arise, we are better equipped to respond. Knowledge is important. Community is everything. 🌻 About mySELF RELIANCE Australia MSR exists to educate, inspire and connect people who want to live more self-reliant lives and build strong local communities. We connect people across Australia through our weekly Community Connections calls, local MSR Hubs, practical workshops, events, retreats and our growing network of people willing to share their knowledge and skills.

In this special mySELF RELIANCE Community Connections call, we meet some of the speakers and stallholders joining us at the Brisbane Tiny Homes Expo, 28–30 August at Cleveland Showgrounds, QLD.

We also hear updates from MSR Hubs and continue the conversation about connecting local communities and recognising the skills and resources already around us. At mySELF RELIANCE, we don't believe self-reliance means doing everything yourself. We believe in knowing who grows the food, who has the skills, who can teach, who can repair, who can communicate and who will have your back when you need them. Knowledge is Important.

What if becoming more self-reliant didn’t mean doing everything by yourself? That question is at the heart of mySELF RELIANCE (MSR). mySELF RELIANCE is an Australian community created to educate, inspire and connect people who want to become more capable, prepared and connected for the future. We believe practical skills matter — but the people around you matter just as much. Through local Hubs, weekly online gatherings, practical workshops, expos, retreats, podcasts and community events, MSR brings together people with knowledge, skills, businesses and lived experience and creates opportunities for them to share what they know. Our philosophy is simple: Knowledge is important, but community is everything. In this video, I share the story of how mySELF RELIANCE began during COVID with a few Zoom calls and grew into a community reaching across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia. More importantly, I share what connection looks like in practice. It is someone arriving at an event knowing nobody and leaving with new friends. It is a woman discovering that the knowledge she carries has value and stepping forward to teach others. It is a member becoming a workshop facilitator, speaker or Hub Leader. It is a small business owner being connected with an audience that genuinely values what she offers. And it is people discovering who they can learn from, who they can help and who will have their back. mySELF RELIANCE doesn’t compete — we collaborate. We platform speakers, promote small businesses, develop Hub Leaders and encourage ordinary people to recognise that they have something valuable to contribute. Our vision is to build and connect strong, self-reliant communities across Australia — creating a superhighway between people, businesses, educators and communities who might otherwise never find one another. We don’t sell self-reliance. We build the belonging that makes it possible. And if this is your first introduction to mySELF RELIANCE — welcome. Perhaps the person you have been looking for is already somewhere in this community. Grow. Connect. Thrive. Kelli Wilkins Founder — mySELF RELIANCE #mySELFRELIANCE

Off-Grid Communication Explained — What Actually Works When Phones & Internet Fail What do you actually do when the phones stop working, the internet drops out, and you need to reach your family, your neighbours, or emergency services? In this MSR Community Connections session, telecom engineer Milan Rajcany (20+ years in the industry, including Telstra and Cisco) breaks down every practical option for staying in touch when the grid goes down — from simple UHF CB radios through to satellite messengers, Meshtastic mesh networks, and emergency beacons. This isn't theory. Milan has lived through multiple floods and bushfires on the NSW Mid-North Coast and uses off-grid comms in his own life. He walks through real gear, live demos, and honest pros and cons of each option, so you can figure out what actually suits your household, farm, or community — not just what looks good on a spec sheet. Whether you're new to prepping, live rural, or just want a backup plan for the next natural disaster or network outage, this session covers the full toolkit: licence-free radios, ham radio basics, satellite SOS devices, Starlink, solar-powered repeaters, and the AusAlert emergency system that's rolling out nationally. ## What you'll learn - The real difference between "grid" and "off-grid" communication - How Australia's new AusAlert emergency alert system (Cell Broadcast) works - Emergency beacons explained: EPIRBs vs PLBs vs satellite SOS - How to use your iPhone or Google Pixel's built-in satellite SOS - Satellite messengers like the Garmin inReach — how they actually work - UHF CB radio basics: channels, repeaters, and what's legal to use without a license - An intro to ham radio and when you'd actually need a licence - How LoRa technology works, and the difference between Meshtastic and Mesh Core - Setting up a solar-powered mesh repeater (yes, even from a cheap solar garden light) - Push-to-talk apps like Zello and push-to-talk-over-cellular radios - Starlink as a backup internet option off-grid - Real gear recommendations, live map demos, and hands-on device walkthroughs ## Timestamps 0:00 – Welcome & MSR community announcements 4:32 – Meet Milan Rajcany: 20+ years in telecoms 5:55 – Why off-grid comms matter (floods & bushfires on the Mid-North Coast) 10:54 – Grid vs off-grid: the basics 13:17 – Quick overview: UHF CB, LoRa mesh & satellite 16:17 – What to consider before you buy any gear 17:50 – AM/FM emergency broadcasts & shortwave radio 18:41 – AusAlert explained: the new Cell Broadcast system 24:20 – Emergency beacons: EPIRBs, PLBs & satellite SOS 26:29 – Built-in satellite SOS on iPhone & Google Pixel 27:34 – Satellite messengers (Garmin inReach) 33:06 – Starlink for off-grid internet 34:40 – Licence-free radio bands in Australia 41:04 – UHF CB radios, channels & repeaters explained 49:14 – VHF/UHF programmable radios & intro to ham radio 54:50 – How LoRa technology works 57:23 – Meshtastic vs Mesh Core: off-grid mesh networking 1:07:57 – Push-to-talk-over-cellular radios 1:09:57 – Wi-Fi calling, Starlink & device demo 1:12:53 – Charging & solar power for your gear 1:15:16 – How mesh networks actually work 1:17:22 – Zello: push-to-talk from your phone 1:22:17 – Live demo: Mesh Core map of Sydney 1:24:19 – Hands-on: setting up a Meshtastic device 1:25:24 – Gear show & tell: PLBs, EPIRBs & CB radios 1:28:49 – Solar charging & Starlink dish demo 1:30:59 – Q&A: What about ham radio? 1:33:15 – Sharing a private Meshtastic channel via QR code 1:34:45 – Milan's final advice 1:36:55 – Wrap-up & thanks ## About MySelf Reliance Australia (MSR) MSR is Australia's community for building self-reliance skills and connecting with like-minded people all over the country.

Do you ever freeze when it is your turn to speak? Maybe you have something valuable to say, but the words do not come out the way you hoped. Maybe you feel confident writing your thoughts down, but when it comes time to speak live, your mind goes blank. Or maybe you are ready to take the lead in your community, business, family or calling, but something inside still holds you back. In this MSR Members Meeting, Kelli Wilkins welcomes Dr Gary Wohlman, PhD — The Presentation Doctor & Speakers Mentor for a fun, interactive and deeply insightful session on voice, confidence, embodied communication and authentic leadership. Gary shares how true communication is not just about words. It is about body, breath, voice, movement, presence and connection. Through stories, live examples and interactive exercises, he helps members explore what it means to stop performing, stop hiding, and begin expressing themselves with more confidence and authenticity. This conversation is especially for quiet achievers, deep thinkers, helpers, hub leaders, business owners, community builders and everyday people who know they have something valuable to say — but do not always feel confident saying it. In this session, you will hear about: why public speaking confidence begins in the body how to move beyond self-consciousness and fear of being seen why “getting it right” is not the real goal how voice, gesture and movement help bring your message to life how leaders can express themselves with more presence and authenticity what may be holding you back from stepping into your full leadership why your message matters, even if you do not see yourself as a speaker This session also gives a taste of the work Dr Gary will be bringing to the Voice to Vision Leadership Retreat at LilyPonds Retreat.
