Do Good Podcast

In today’s episode, I had the chance to talk with environmental campaigner, Natalie Fee, and hear all about the inspiring work she is doing with her non-profit organisation, City to Sea.

The idea was sparked after seeing the powerfully moving story about the albatross birds on Midway Island in the Pacific, whose bodies are filled with ocean plastic.

This began a crusade against marine plastic pollution, which started with the humble plastic cotton bud stick. Thanks to her campaign she managed to pressure all UK retailers to only sell biodegradable paper stem buds from now on. A move which will stop over 478 tonnes of single-use, non-recyclable plastic being produced each year.

This is just one of the many initiatives City to Sea have successfully campaigned for in their fight against plastic pollution.

For her efforts, Natalie has been rightly recognised for her amazing work and has picked up a ton of accolades along the way, including the Sunday Times Volvo Visionaries Award for her campaign work. So it just goes to show that there are many benefits to doing good in this world.

In this episode, I share my experience from seeing Dr Joe Dispenza at his Becoming Supernatural event in London.

Joe is a lecturer, researcher, author and educator and is driven by the conviction that each of us has the potential for greatness and unlimited abilities.

Myself and about 1000 others got to absorb the incredible wisdom he had to share on how we can rewire our brains and recondition our bodies to make lasting changes.

This episode is perfect for those who are ready to take a quantum leap in their understanding of what is humanly possible in this life. And I share some valuable tools and techniques on how to release old negative patterns by tapping into deeper levels of ourselves to fulfil our true potential.

In this episode, I had a great conversation with decluttering expert, Julieanne Steel.

Having built an affluent lifestyle for herself, which from the outside looked like she was living the perfect life. Yet this life had left her feeling unfulfilled, stressed, worn out and with a mound of debt.

This triggered a period of deep reflection and transformation in her life, which allowed her to let go of the things that no longer served her highest good. She now applies all that wisdom in helping others declutter their lives so they can begin to live more by owning less.

This episode is full of advice on how we can begin to get to the root cause of our clutter so we can be free of it once and for all.

In this episode, I talk all about honesty and the transformational effects it has on our lives.

We’ve all made a ton of mistakes along the way. Life is after all about living and learning. Yet, there’s probably a good few things we’ve done that we’ve regretted and those old memories can be painful to remember.

I delve into how we can face up to some of these challenges and how we'll find freedom on the other side. I may not be an easy process but it sure is worth it to let go of all that old baggage.

I talk candidly about a few of the mistakes I’ve made and the process I’ve gone on to free myself from the burden they were having on me.

It takes strength and courage to admit the truth. And once you get a taste of the freedom of honesty, it’s hard not to want more of it.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of being joined by spiritual teacher Louise Kay.

After graduating from university she worked as an English teacher for 15 years, and during this time began to question the deeper meaning of life. This led her to the path of spirituality, where she found a strong resonance with the teachings of non-duality.

In her early thirties, Louise felt a deep call in her heart to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. She now holds group events around the world helping people reconnect to their natural state.

This episode is just the ticket for anyone who’s looking to attain more peace and balance in their lives.

Have you ever wondered who that voice is in your head? The voice that never gives you a minute with its endless stream of thought. Well in this episode, I delve deeper into this and explore the pitfalls of the ego and how we can begin to take a step back from it all and not get so attached with its endless chatter.

On average we have around 80,000 thoughts per day, and if we live our lives attaching too much meaning to them we can end up experiencing so much unnecessary suffering. Letting go and surrendering appears to be the way forward, however, those words can be tricky to put into practice.

By hearing other people real-life stories they can really help us see things from a different perspective. And this is exactly what I found by reading all about Michael A. Singer’s life and how he’s been practising the art of surrender for the best part of 40 years with miraculous results.

There are countless other stories showing to each and everyone one it’s possible to begin to let go more and trust in the flow of life.

In this episode, I visited Lauren & Jess from The Cares Family to find out about the wonderful work they are doing bringing young professionals and older neighbours together to help overcome loneliness.

Cares all started through a random interaction when its founder Alex met an isolated neighbour Fred in London and took him for his first haircut in 3 months. This started a change reaction which has lead to over 15,000 older and younger people being paired up over the past 8 years.

It’s the real-life stories that are really heartwarming and there’s plenty of inspiring ones shared in this episode for you to enjoy. And when you delve a little deeper and understand the effects loneliness has on our overall health and welling you get it even more how important this charity is to the communities it supports.

In today's episode, I talk about the advantages of developing our own self-care routine into our daily lives.

We lead busy lives; our calendars are full, our to-do list is never-ending and we feel overwhelmed by technology. All this can mean me-time is usually last on the agenda.

Talking of technology, do you know that the first thing 84% us do when waking up is reach for our phone. Zapping us of our much-needed energy and concentration for the rest of the day.

Imagine if we cut our screen time by just 30 mins each day and used that time on some simple techniques, we could be leading healthy and happy lives. From ideas around sleep, diet, exercise, being in nature, as well as our pets, I discuss how it’s possible for us to find time to take more care of ourselves.

By doing this, we are able to be more productive and focused, as well as feeling calmer and more balanced. And who doesn’t want to have more of that?

In this episode, I was joined by yoga & meditation teacher, Martin Bone, to talk about how he’s helping hundreds of people find more peace and serenity in their lives.

Having been a professional tennis coach for 10 years, he began asking himself some bigger questions in his life, beginning to understand there was more to explore and experience.

A trip to a monastery in Thailand in 2012 gave him a taste of what he was looking for, during his time with the monks he experienced more serenity than at any other time in his life. Along with a series of other retreats around the world, he’s been able to channel all he’s learnt through his business Planet Yoga in Liverpool.

Here’s just a favour of some of the things we discuss; from what it means to be a man growing up in today’s world and the men’s retreats he runs, his experiences working with plant medicine and it's transformational benefits, as well as how his young daughter is shaping how he sees the world.

In today's episode, I talk about the benefits of taking greater risks in our lives so we can live a richer and more fulfilled life.

So often we can feel confined by society and go along with what’s accepted, yet we all know deep down there’s more to explore and enjoy in this life.

I’ve changed tracks quite a few things in my life, going against the grain, and not once have I regretted those choices. I always consider ‘what’s the worst that can happen?’ and if I’m okay with that then I’ll often take that leap of faith in the unknown and do my best to enjoy the ride.

I also share some age-old wisdom from the people at the end of their life so we can learn from them and live without similar regrets.

Life is an adventure that is there to be lived. Let’s get every last drop out of it and then when that day comes for us to leave this earth plane behind we’ll know we lived a life worth living.
