Force of nature

With Ellie’s rewarding job coming to an end, and Chris on the hunt for coworking community, your hosts explore what it is to be part of something bigger, what that gives us and why it could just be a core need for every human.

Joy, freedom, love, play, peace, enough - whatever it is you crave with your whole body - why is it so hard to welcome more of it into our lives? Chris and Ellie explore what we put in the way of giving ourselves what we deeply desire, like self-sabotage, defences, comparison and stories.

Chris rants about setting yourself up for failure while Ellie brings the loving challenge, as your hosts explore bringing about change in life that’s in line with what you REALLY want.

Would you bathe in ice cold water in the middle of winter? Ellie and Chris did, as well as some breathwork beforehand. As part of their ongoing exploration of how people like us relate to the world and express through our bodies. We do another 'before and after' report on the experience - what it was like, and how we'd do things differently next time if you came with us.

Health scares, illness and neglect. It’s easy to forget you have a precious physical form that’s more than a brain taxi. In this episode, Ellie and Chris explore what life’s like when you aren’t in touch with your body, and how to get back into it.

What with it being Xmas, we though we’d lift your spirits with an exploration of what joy and contentment feels like, how it arrives, and how we might experience more of it - especially when, well, life happens.

Today we explore another fundamental (yet underserved) need we all share - to relate more closely to the people around us. And how lack of connection can affect our health and appetite for life. Ellie and Chris get clear about their own relationship too - live on air…

Ellie wants to talk boundaries today - how we protect our time and energy, physically and emotionally, from the onslaught of modern life. This one’s rich in insight, metaphors and catchphrases. Plus Chris almost spilt the beans on his love life; if it weren’t for Ellie’s deft and sensitive redirection - what a coach she is!

Anger is a force of nature - that compelling physical urge to act, challenge injustice or misunderstanding; it MUST be expressed. But how do you handle it? Because we all experience it in one way or another - usually bodily. Ellie and I explore our relationship with anger and how we process it. What’s your relationship with anger?

It's winter outside, but what if it's winter inside too. As in your body. Ellie and Chris take shelter in a forest somewhere in Buxton, to explore how mood, motivation and energy levels can change when it's time to go inward. WARNING: loud dog barking at the end of the episode.
