**DISCLAIMER** This episode discusses sensitive topics of suicide, mental health and addiction. If you are experiencing any substance addiction or dependency, please consult a medical professional before stopping use. 

This week's guest has such an interesting story, he went from fighting in cages to fighting for his life, as his mental health hit rock bottom and he found himself sectioned for suicidal crisis. This was 7 months into sobriety no less.

He now teaches about mental health and chats to me about how being sober doesn't cure all your issues, the coping strategies and tools he used to pull himself out of that dark place and the trends and patterns he is seeing with people's mental health that today that didn't exist years ago.

We discuss AA, Kambo, mindfulness, ice baths and everything in between.

Despite his story, this isn't a dark and morose episode, there are plenty of laughs along the way, as Ryan pulls no punches in being candid and baring all.

'Protect Your Energy' has become a bit of a cliché, but it's something that we all need to be aware of as it really does affect every are of our lives.

I'm not just talking sageing and  spells (although that's also an option if it's your vibe), but understanding your triggers and what drains you and how to manage this so that it doesn't impact your life.

I talk through my top tips and process for ensuring that no negative nancies are impacting your day and what to do if you find that they are, as well as thinking about what else we consume that impacts our energy.

It's the first episode of the year and apologies in advance for how excitable I get, I've had to change the tempo because I got a little carried away, but I've missed you all so much! 

This week we talk lessons from Far Eastern culture, the Birkenstocks that changed my life and how if you are already feeling overwhelmed and not quite ready to take on the year, then you aren't alone and it's actually due to nature. 

For those wanting more sobriety content, it's on the way, scout's honour!

In the final episode of 2023, we talk about the importance of boredom and mental breaks for the brain and how social media and modern day life has made this more difficult than ever.  This is the perfect time of year to have some downtime in preparation for next year,

Plus I tell a little personal story from our recent trip to Las Vegas that didn't end so well! 

Thank you all for listening this year, I cannot wait to be back in the New Year with  bigger and better content, more amazing guests and to reach even more  people who may want to explore the world of self development. 

Have the most fantastic Christmas!!

Do you make New Year's resolutions and have already given up on them by mid-January, resigning yourself to try again next year? Have you got a gym membership you have been paying for all year but only actually stepped foot in the gym twice? Do you promise every month that you will save money but always end up waiting for pay day, having waxed the lot on online shopping? If so, then this episode is for you! Even if you are a natural goal setter, this method and process may give you food for thought or tips and tricks of ways you can enhance your goal setting practice. 

We will discuss how to look at the areas of your life to understand what you want to work on, how to work with the season of your life (listen back to episode 15 if you missed it) and how to break down the goals so that you don't feel super overwhelmed, or like you are never going to achieve them. 

I've released this episode now because I know like me, a lot of people like to start thinking about this stuff before New Year and thinking about the year ahead and setting goals that you will stick to isn't a one evening type job, you're going to want to mull it over. 

I mention the 'Wheel of Life' but in all honesty there isn't one resource for this so just Google it because they are all much the same.

This week we have a super inspirational conversation with Farz Hakimifard, the Founder of Feedback Community Project CIC, a community project based on helping disadvantaged young people via the medium of music as a therapeutic tool.

Farz talks to me about leaving his home country of Iran, at 5 years old, his adolescent and young adult years of dealing with trauma, self medicating via drugs and alcohol, and how he eventually found self development tools and spirituality.
 
He now works as a Youth Worker and founded Feedback Community Project CIC as a result of realising the power of music as a tool to work with young people.

It's one of the most interesting and inspirational conversations I have had, and I'm sure you will agree that he is a super interesting individual.

It may be a cliche but it's so true, when one door closes another opens, or in other words 'rejection is redirection.' 

This week's episode talks about how as humans we tend to self sabotage and spiral when we feel rejected. It's actually a primal instinct from tribe mentality as back in the day, rejection from the tribe would have meant likely death, so it's a protection technique, but these days we aren't going to die if we get rejected by a partner or don't get the job, so how do we reframe this thinking and look for the positives or the redirection? In this episode I'll share some steps and techniques.

Like the seasons of the year, we have seasons of our life and understanding and working with these and not against them can help us to surrender and let go of some of the pressure that we put on ourselves. 

We can have it all, but not all at once and combining the basic laws of nature and cycles of life with what we know about the laws of the universe and manifesting, will help us to set better aligned intentions and goals and live more fulfilled and happier lives.
