S4 EP 34: Eating Disorders & Money Blocks
In this solo episode I am talking about the powerful money stories that folks with eating disorders and body image issues tend to have in common!
Driven by lack, scarcity and a belief they 'don't deserve' means that money stories around waste and value are often confused and conflicting, often leading to overwhelm, anxiety, strict restrictions and out of control binges.

S4 EP 32: Emotions are normal NOT a mental health problem.
In this solo episode I am talking about just what emotions are and why we need to feel them but NOT be fixated or ruled by them!
We are in a weird time at the moment where 'normal human emotions' are being pathologised and medications are being handed out without due thought for the long term effects on squash feelings and changing pathways that are simply normal.
Which means we have a situation where people are on sick leave for life and some young people never even start in the world of work...
The effect on future generations if this trend continues as it is, is frightening. I cover all this and more in this episode and as I say a couple of times in the broadcast I am offering you a free chilled out chat with me to help you.

S4 EP 30: Is Patience a 'Lost' Art?
In this short solo episode I talk about why we need to practice being patient with our body when it comes to healing from injuries and when it comes to making long term lifestyle changes.
I pose the question: Is patience a 'Lost' Art? I'd love to know your thoughts.
For myself I know my lack of patience with my body in the past has definitely been detrimental to my physical and mental health and I now realise that patience is a SKILL that needs to be practised.
Leave your comments below. I'd love you to share your throughts and experience with being more or less patient with your body and brain as you get older.

S4 EP 28: The Secret Power of Acceptance.
In this solo episode I talk about how ACCEPTANCE is vital to being able to create the health and lifestyle that you desire and stop repeating addictive habits with food, alcohol and exercise along with people pleasing, perfectionism and comparing yourself to others that no longer serve you mentally, emotionally, physically or spiritually.
Acceptance doesn't mean you have to like it or even agree with it, but it does mean you get to let go of feelings and thoughts that keep you 'stuck' in a lack mentality and 'shoulding' all over yourself and others.
Acceptance is a sign of strength and growth, not complacency or giving up! It means you get to GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION to be the person you always were destined to be.
Need help with acceptance and becoming 'unstuck' send me a message via email or connect with me on socials.

We cover the importance of family support and bust myths on the 'glamerous' world of footballers earning a lot of money.

S4 EP 26: Why being 'nice' is harmful to your health!
In this solo episode I talk about why being 'nice' and trying to 'spare' other peoples feelings is actually anything but nice!
You are NOT in control of other people's feelings and to think that you are is actually incredibly arrogant and grandiose!
No matter what your parents, grandparents or teachers may have told you its not YOUR role to be in charge of other people's emotions, the only person's feelings you are in charge of are...your own!
Trying to take on everyone else feelings is a mammoth task and once you STOP doing you will free yourself from a shed load of stress and anxiety!
Stress and anxiety are the biggest drivers to turning to food and alcohol to manage, soothe or numb out from your feelings and having to manage other peoples!
Stress is also one of the key drivers of both type 2 diabetes and Alzhiemers....that's for another episode!

S4 EP 25: From Corporate Career to Confident Cook!
This is such an inspiring episode of transition and turning adversity to advantage.
Sasi Krishnan shares her journey of how she went from a successful corporate career in a foreign country that kept her in 'people pleasing' mode and lead her to feeling burn-out and disillusioned to an online authentic Indian cook.
She covers the culinary culture shock of discovering what UK Indian restaurants and takeaway's had to offer 20+ years ago and how she learned to be able to cook both meat and vegetarian dishes through intuition and self-trust.
She made the choice to ditch the career and focus of being a full time Mum until one decision - to learn how to make bread transformed her life!
We also talk Yoga, being a destiny child and so much more...
This is one episode I'm sure you'll enjoy right to end.

S4 EP 24: Making mid-life for men less messy and more manageable!
In this episode I’m joined by Chris Wilson a “health enabler” who is passionate about helping men look after their health and navigate the confusion and isolation around the messy middle of mid-life.
We hear so much about Menopause, mid-life and how challenging it can be for women, but we rarely hear men talking about how difficult Andropause and mid-life can be for them too!

S4 EP 23: The power of Creativity!
In this episode I am joined by Carol-Mae Whittick a creative and spiritual coach and podcaster.
Carol-Mae talks about her chaotic childhood due to her Mum’s mental health status and how she kept herself ‘sane’ through the power of writing in the form of writing poetry, songs and journalling.
She talks about how her dream of ‘cracking’ the music industry meant she quickly had to learn how to handle rejection, but that enabled her to become stronger and more resilient.
This is an episode jammed packed with insights into why Carol-Mae now helps others to follow their heart and follow their dreams.
Please do listen all the way through, you’ll be giving yourself the gift of learning how powerful creativity can be in your life.

S4 EP 22: Addicted to the struggle!
In this solo episode I talk about how the language you use and the thoughts you think create a chemical response that your brain and body believe it needs to keep receiving to stay alive.
I also talk about how the brain accepts whatever you accept, whether its true or not and about the fact that we can get addicted to the struggle and to the insanity of believing that if we can just hit a specific 'number' on a scale everything in our lives will miraculously be better...and more!

S4 EP 21: If it's healthy you can eat as much as you like....

Finally, I talk about how you can re-regulate those hormones in a simple way.

S4 Ep 8: Power to Change!
This is a jump into the world of expectations and feelings and the power to change how we COMMUNICATE with others, so that we don't feel hurt, upset or let down.
I talk about anorexia, binge eating and alcohol issues, these are often fuelled by a need for others to validate us and live up to OUR expectations of them, so we can feel good enough...

Episode ONE Season 4: It's Not A Crime
In the first episode back after a Summer break I dive straight into the rather taboo topic of SUICIDE and look at what action we need to be taking to prevent more Young people and Men over 50 deciding it's the way to go. The way we Judge , the language we use and our ability to communicate clearer and freely are all things to be hyper aware of and most of us are not, because we are not taught the powerful way they can affect us and others.
By sharing our own stories, like I have here, we can reduce the isolation that often accompanies suicidal thoughts. It's important to remember that talking about suicide doesn't plant the idea in someone's mind. Instead, it allows individuals to express their pain and seek assistance.
Supporting Those in Need:
If you suspect that someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, it's crucial to reach out and offer your support. Listen without judgment, let them know you care.
In the UK, there are numerous helplines and resources available, such as the Samaritans & Mind who provide confidential support 24/7.

Season 3 Episode 24: Believe in the Power Within!
You are enough, you are deserving, words that many who use food, alcohol or both do not feel.
In fact many of us have NEVER felt 'good enough' and this is the fuel for striving for goals, whether they are financial, academic, material or physical.
I talk about being able to tune into your HEART and your GUT to trust yourself and to use the POWER WITHIN to drive you in a positive to way, to create the health and life you really want, not he one someone else told you to pursue, or the one you thought was enough, because you didn't realise MORE was available to you...You don't have to be MORE than you all, you just need to use that power within to be ALL that you are!

In this episode I talk about the oldest part of the brain and why IT wants you to keep on doing what you are currently doing, understanding how your brain works can help you see why WILLPOWER is not the key to changing things, its multiple factors you need to address.
