  • Ep 80: Linzy Boden on helping others find their true potential
    In today’s episode, I sit down with Linzy Boden, who is an Integrated Therapist, Trainer and Speaker who has a real desire to help others find their true potential.
    As a child growing up she always felt as if she never really fit… the proverbial square peg. Looking back, she can see now that this feeling was the origin of wanting to help others and she believes the more we can learn and understand about ourselves the more we can tap into our inner strength and happiness.
    When working with people she has a strong desire in always wanting people to feel truly understood and heard, as well as learn more about themselves and to be able to continuously develop as human beings.
    I found this conversation inspiring, it’s always a joy to be in the company of those full of wisdom and knowledge.
    In this episode, we delve into:
    - Linzy own journey towards becoming a counsellor
    - Benefits of Integrative Therapy
    - Impact Covid has had on mental health (esp. with the youth)
    - Society’s over-reliant on anti-depressants
    - Parenthood and how best to show up for our children
    - How our school system is broken and the potential for change
    - Lack of positive role models in society
    - Psychedelics and their potential for healing
    - Plus plenty more!

  • Ep 79: Dr Anton Krige on knowledge is power when it comes to improving our health
    In today’s show, I sit down again with Dr. Anton Krige, who is a medical doctor, multiple Ironman finisher, and functional medicine specialist.
    In this episode, we dive deep into what it’s like to work closely with Anton and how he transforms his patient's health and well-being. We used me as the case study in this one and it was eye-opening to get the results back from some of the tests I did (particularly finding out that my biological age is 29 which isn’t bad for a 40-something guy). And there were plenty of other fascinating insights I found out about which I’ve been able to integrate into my daily routine.
    Anton treats those with complex chronic conditions as well as those who wish to optimise sports performance whilst maintaining health & wellness using his research skills and experience to incorporate cutting-edge research findings in both health and exercise physiology.
    Anton was previously on the show in episode 68 in case anyone wants to hear a more wide-ranging interview on health and some of the key lifestyle factors for transforming it, the latest tech you can use to improve your health as well as what an ideal day looks like to turn around your metabolic health.

  • Ep 76: Marcus Pibworth on navigating the difficult bits of life and what it really means to be human
    Marcus Pibworth is a storyteller based in England but known to pop up around the globe, running storytelling workshops. He is an alumni of ‘The International School of Storytelling’. One of the key focuses of Marcus’ current work is on using storytelling to explore masculinity through his ‘Stories For Men’ series.
    I first came across Marcus in Positive News Magazine a few years back, feeling inspired by his nomadic lifestyle living in a van and travelling around the UK & Europe recording his Ministry of Change podcast. Which is conversations about mental health, navigating the difficult bits of life and what it really means to be human.
    In this podcast we discuss what it was like to live in a van for 3 years, mental health challenges men face, the transformational effects of storytelling, embracing fatherhood and much more in this insightful conversation.

  • Ep 75: Louise Kay (Spiritual Teacher) on living in the present moment
    In this episode, I welcome spiritual teacher Louise Kay back on the show (for a fourth time).
    We hear her insight on how these challenging times are triggering the great awakening in us and mankind. We also hear how to navigate difficult relationships as well conscious manifestation.
    Louise grounds all the wisdom shared with an embodied awareness guided meditation towards the end.

  • Ep 74: This Too Shall Pass
    In today’s episode, I delve deep into why I believe there’s never been a more important time to connect with others, speak our truth, share solutions and be the change we see in the world.
    Looking around and what has unfolded these past few years and seeing things with your eyes wide open you realise, once you see what’s happening you can’t unsee it.
    In this podcast, I give my take on the narrative that’s been playing out, sharing my own recent experience with Covid, how critical early treatment is, the suppression of some of the world’s leading doctors, how clinical trials show natural immunity is far more robust than immunity from the vaccine.
    I also delve into how none of the measures in place appears to be supporting increased health. In fact, they are leading to the erosion of our freedoms and potentially taking us down a dystopian version of reality.
    Yet, none of this must come to pass. If more of us shine our light on the darkness for others to see we can choose a different path for humanity. One that is built on connection, freedom and love. For this to happen it’s going to take us all stepping forward and being part of the solution, as the old systems crumble and new ones come to light.
    Like Gandhi before us, it’s going to take a non-violent revolution of consciousness.
    These challenging times will pass, like all things in life, whether they be good times or bad times nothing lasts in this life. But what a ride life is!

  • Ep 72: Barry Taylor on turning inspired ideas into reality
    In this episode, I welcome Barry Taylor on the show who has for decades been working with ’Spiritually Inspired’ community projects and individuals helping them turn their inspired ideas into reality.
    With his roots firmly established in Glastonbury since the 1980s, having been a successful entrepreneur in his earlier years, he has endeavoured to use his skills to help Glastonbury become a beacon for spiritual development once more.
    In this fascinating conversation, we delve into how a poverty mindset hinders the progress of many creative ideas, and how to shift that perspective to allow your ideas to flourish and stand the test of time with the right structure in place.
    We also delve into what makes Glastonbury so special and how pilgrimage can help bring expanded meaning to our lives and lead to a personal transformation.
    I loved this conversation with Barry, I’m sure his words can offer hope to those on their own spiritual path.

  • Ep 71: Always Darkest Before The Dawn
    In today’s episode, I dive deep into the challenging times we are living through, and even though it can appear on the surface that everything is in chaos, it’s a time of great transformation.
    This podcast is about shedding light on the good that is happening around the world (gods know we need it right now). However, that doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the ground when we are seeing injustices, lies, deceit and coercion happening right in front of our eyes.
    I see the old systems breaking down, and as they are, the old power structure will do everything in its power to maintain its grip. Which we are seeing with the authoritarian measure that has swept the planet in recent times.
    I share how I’ve seen the past 18 months unfold and how I believe a lot of the measures in place are in fact anti-health, which are disempowering and riddled with fear-mongering from our governments and media.
    It is often when we are pushed into a corner that we realise what is important to us. We are at a crossroads on the planet right now, and we all have to decide what path we are going down and the kind of world we wish to live on. I for one, am choosing a life of freedom, peace, connection, community and enlightenment.
    We all have a choice, we are powerful beings with so much to offer to the world, and there is a place for all of us in playing a part in the solutions.
