My fabulous guest this week is none other than Shawna Scott of 'Sex Siopa' fame. In this episode we chat relationships, cat-sitting, moving country and Shawna tells us of her journey to becoming an Irish citizen! :) Shawna's an absolute delight... Ireland is lucky she chose it to live in! :)

Give it a listen, like and share! :)

Damon Blake joins me for cookies and existential chats this week. It's delightful. He's a wonder of a human.

Damon shares with us his perspective on his fellow 'gym bros', his increasing zen and how he will eventually self-actualize in the form of self-publishing a self-help book entitled 'You Can't Kill Me, I've Already Tried'. Maslow, move over - there's a new Master in town! ;)

Give your ears a treat and listen in on our musings on this life thing.

The spectacular and very informed Dr. Caroline West is my special guest on this week's episode of HUMANS DISCUSS BEING podcast.

We talk sex, porn, research, sex education, pleasure, stigma, feminism and other such delightful topics!

Bring your ears to the playground and give this a listen :)

The lovely human that is Denny MacDermott joins me for existential chats this week.

Denny shares with us how she's over her overthinking, how her 'Dry January' went totally out of control and has lasted all the months since. Sobriety is serving her well however, and since reading a certain book, she now also has the Courage to be Disliked! Hurray - she is now unstoppable! :)

The terrific talent that is 'Sea High' joins me for chats this week. He graciously shared openly and honestly about his experience of being a human. We chat feelings, letting go, change, fear, relationships, forward progression, the importance of talking, mental health, anger, anxiety,  reflection, creativity, Music, catharsis, therapy, crying, emotional intelligence, emotional awareness, support structures and how honesty is the essence of true Art. 

This was a glorious chat. Check it out, like and share it in all the places. 

Namaste ;)

Stephen Bradley joins me for existential chats this week. Straight off we talk books like 'The Choice' and 'Man's Search for Meaning'. Peppered throughout the rest of the chat are things like: the fine line between genuine self-expression and certifiable madness. how older people should be allowed steal, self-worth, running MOB Theatre, doing what you want to do in life, being happy, feeling positive and fulfilled.

It's a great chat, Stephen's super!

James Moran is my delightful guest this week. We discuss such topics as: automation of comedy, what qualities make us human, AI, empathy, contextually collectively based values, not knowing why, interrupting patterns of behaviour, "everything in life is made worse if you push it again" (i.e. what you resists, persists) and the importance of having support structures around you.

James also shares honestly about his experiences with the Irish Health Service down through the years, many of which have not been pleasant.

Fiona joins me for some post-holiday chats. This was lots of fun. We discuss topics including: relationships, dating, love, gigging, writing, performing, acting, creativity and trying to fit everything in and not get overwhelmed by it all! 

Fiona shares her experience of self-sabotaging, attending Drama School in the UK, writing workshops, reflecting on behavioural patterns, learning the necessary tools to accomplish goals, stages of competency, making life changes and trying to engage with 'The Artist's Way' book. 

Fiona speaks so openly about her journey of self-discovery... this really is a wonderful chat.

I was all the ill and exhausted doing this podcast, but Mike is the exact tonic you need when you're feeling unwell! 

Mike tells us how he's listening to an American Navy SEAL Commander who's a proponent of:  'Extreme Ownership', a concept Mike is currently trying to live by. Mike describes his recent experience of anxiety, a guided psychedelic trip, having a "starter kit" out of an emotional slump, which includes: the book 'The Power of Now', exercise, stop drinking, sleep well, positive self-talk, affirmations and listening to motivational speakers! 

Mike also gives us a glimpse into his inner voice and what happens when you overly identify with a certain image / state of being. 

The topics of internal vs external locus of evaluation, self-worth and separating behaviour from the intrinsic worth of the person.

Emily O'Callaghan is my great guest this week. Emily chats very openly and honestly on various topics including: anxiety, alcohol, insomnia, depression, self-care, doing what is best for one's health.

Emily shares with us her feeling of being an outsider and overwhelmed as a child and how acquiring coping skills are essential to well-being. Emily explains how helpful therapy is for her in allowing her to recognise patterns of behaviour.

Emily also talks about things that 'work' for her, including: yoga, therapy, meditation, vegetables and guided meditation videos.

We have all the good chats... check them out... like & share! :) All the thanks :)
