The Steve Twynham Podcast

In this episode we bring some joy into your life.

I am joined by Empowerment Coach & Joy Queen Cat Googe.

More about Cat.

I’m Cat and I’m an Empowerment Coach & Joy Queen.

I help you learn how to shift creative and energetic blocks so you can show up powerfully in life and business. Through The FLOURISH Framework we use my unique blend of laughter yoga, reiki and NLP to identify energy drains and clear unhelpful patterns so you can create the impact you know in your bones you’re here for. 

I help you learn to get out of your head and drop into your body so you can tap into your inner wisdom and give yourself permission to stand fully in your power.

Using the tools that support me I teach you to release what’s been holding you back and reignite your power so you can fully connect with what you’re here to do in this lifetime.

I’m here to support you on your next level expansion so you can activate your pure potential and embody who you really are.

Join our warm dialogue with Michael, a gallant soul who courageously battled chronic depression and now seeks to repurpose his definition of happiness.
In this profoundly personal conversation, Michael shares his depression fight, his self-awareness voyage, and his shift from hiding to openly admitting his emotions.

Hear about the challenge of his dual existence, often smiling to satisfy the societal expectations while silently confronting his personal confusion. Learn about his metaphorical 'mask', the fake portrayal of joy that conceals his repressed emotions. Listen to the compelling recount of the turning point of his life when he decided to seek help, kicking off his arduous but crucial journey to recovery.

This episode delves into the fear of vulnerability, the bravery in confessing not being fine, and the relatable confusion in identifying genuine happiness. It insists on the importance of individual emotional well-being, challenging the common approach of prioritising others before ourselves. Connect with the potent discussions of this episode and come to grips with the reality of mental health matters.

Join us in this powerful conversation that pushes the emotional boundaries and challenges societal norms while emphasising the importance of mental health.
Micheal takes us into his turmoil-laden mind and personal life, showing the dangers of overcommitting to societal expectations. He reveals his struggles with responsibilities, mental health, and burnout.

A pivotal turning point came through a GP visit, leading to much-needed mental health assistance. Through this journey, the Micheal discovered the importance of mindfulness, anxiety management, and the freedom in just "being". With his move to York, he redefined his life, emphasising the beauty in simplicity and the need to embrace negative emotions.

This transformation story is much more than personal; it serves as a wake-up call for everyone hiding their struggles. His empowering message encourages us to reach out, connect with others, and ensure our mental well-being. Join us, and step into understanding mental health while walking alongside him in his incredible journey, as he bares the silent truth about this often unseen reality on the Glass Half Full Podcast

In this episode, Steve talks with Psychotherapist & Spiritual Growth Coach Alex Boianghu about many things including:
Authenticity.
The unconditional self.
Stillness
Healing trauma and why people hang onto trauma.
Alex also shares his thoughts on mindfulness

Being a psychotherapist for over 30 years, Alex has had the honor and privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families providing holistic support for all of life’s challenges.
He deeply loves what he does, and brings all his education, experience, and above all, compassion and understanding to help you understand yourself. From his perspective, the goal of therapy is to let go of outdated ways of living that make you feel “stuck” or “in survival mode”, so that you can live in freedom, joy, and success.

His approach is holistic, in the sense that everything that is happening in your life is viewed as a doorway towards understanding yourself more intimately and ultimately healing what needs to be healed, awakening your own inner resources and capabilities in order to live with exuberance.

Alex says:

We are all here to thrive—and that is my mission with you.
