On today's podcast, I have the brilliant bestselling author of If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Happy?. This book is a really juicy one and brings up a lot of food for thought that I think will resonate with a lot of you listeners. So I'm looking forward to speaking with Raj Raghunathan today. Raj earned his PhD from the Stern School of Business at New York University and is currently employed as a professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, the University of Texas at Austin. Raj's work juxtaposes theories from psychology, behavioural science, decision theory and marketing to document and explain intimate relationships.
Raj wrote his book as a result of discovering that many of the smartest, brightest, most successful people were profoundly unhappy. Raj set out to find an answer to this problem, and extensively researched happiness not just of students and business people, but also stay-at-home-parents, lawyers, and artists, among others. His research is fascinating and I can't wait for you to hear his wisdom on the podcast!

How to invest in yourself and build resilience in your relationships with Dr Aria

Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.
As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.

Wisdom to last a lifetime for birth and beyond with Emma Cannon

This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

How to flirt with the universe with Deike Begg

Valentina Milanova joins us in this eye-opening episode, bringing her revolutionary ideas to the forefront of gynaecological health. The founder of Daye, Valentina is on a mission to transform the experience of women dealing with painful periods. She introduces us to safe tampons designed to alleviate period pain by locally administering anti-inflammatory relief in the vaginal area. The efficiency of targeting pain directly makes it a game-changer for those suffering from endometriosis or period pain.
But that's not all – Daye goes beyond with diagnostic tampons. Valentina addresses the critical issue of women neglecting vaginal health screenings, leading to undetected problems. These diagnostic tampons, sent to Daye labs, provide results and connect users with medical professionals. Valentina's platform offers an opportunity to understand and monitor vaginal health, prevent surgery, and even receive prescriptions, creating a cost-effective and time-efficient solution. Prepare to be shocked as Valentina reveals startling facts about the toxicity of average tampons and the lack of regulations in protecting women's sensitive areas. In this episode, Valentina's insights will leave you pondering and questioning the norms. I admire her for using her voice and intelligence to create safer products for women, and we invite you to join us in this crucial conversation about women's health. Get ready to be enlightened and outraged, knowing that solutions exist – we just need to be aware of them.
