In this week's solo episode, I am talking about something that affects every aspect of our lives and that sits underneath almost everything happening in the world right now:
Who is controlling your attention? Whoever controls our mind controls our perception, and hence us!
Wars. Politics. Food. Health. Technology. Social media. Education. Fear. Outrage.
Every day we are bombarded with messages designed to influence what we think, how we feel and ultimately how we behave.
The question is:
Are you consciously choosing what shapes your mind... or is someone else doing it for you?
————————————————
In this episode I share a collection of powerful memes and observations that explore:
✔ Mind control & human behaviour
✔ Why repetition programs the subconscious
✔ The relationship between health and awareness
✔ Government, media and perception
✔ Why asking better questions matters
✔ Natural health, herbs and self-reliance
✔ The danger of outsourcing critical thinking
✔ Why responsibility is where freedom begins
Once you see the game, you can stop playing by rules you never agreed to. We can use one of the main mind control techniques for good instead of bad: repetition!
As I often say: "If you don't control your mind, someone else will. Control your mind. Control your life."
Let me know in the comments: What belief have you changed your mind about in the last five years?

Is your dog really naughty... or are they trying to tell you something?
Millions of dogs are being labelled anxious, reactive, hyperactive, stubborn or badly behaved. But what if the real problem isn't the dog?
I’m joined by canine wellness expert Lee Bridges, founder of Play9, to explore why so many modern dogs are struggling despite having more comfort, toys and attention than ever before.
We discuss:
🐕 Why anxiety and reactivity are rising in dogs
🐕 The biggest mistakes owners make when choosing a breed
🐕 Why many behaviour "problems" are actually normal dog behaviours
🐕 How boredom, frustration and lack of fulfilment show up in dogs
🐕 Understanding dog body language
🐕 The dangers of poor training advice
🐕 Practical ways to improve your dog's wellbeing immediately
If you've ever found yourself asking:
"How do I stop this behaviour?"
This episode may help you ask a much better question:
"What need is my dog trying to meet?"

Why do intelligent people KNOW what to do… yet they still don’t do it?
Why do humans stay stuck in unhealthy patterns, toxic habits, financial stress, procrastination, overwhelm and self-sabotaging behaviour… even when they KNOW better?
In this powerful coffee chat, Brice from @EsotericAtlanta & Catherine Edwards dive deep into the psychology, biology and subconscious programming behind self sabotage — and why modern society is designed to keep humans distracted, dependent and disconnected from their true potential.
This conversation explores:
nervous system regulation
subconscious conditioning
dopamine addiction
stress physiology
short-term comfort vs long-term freedom
why humans wait for crisis before changing
why “truth seeking” can become another trap
how modern systems encourage dependency and learned helplessness
why awareness WITHOUT action changes nothing
This is one of the most important conversations we’ve had. Because real freedom starts when you realise:
👉 Your subconscious programming may be running more of your life than you think.
And once you SEE the patterns… you can begin changing them.
Remember: If we are not consciously directing our own thoughts, habits and behaviours… someone else will happily do it for us....and they are!!

Most people think questioning the world will make them suffer.I don’t believe that’s true.
I think what creates suffering is:• feeling powerless• staying stuck• living out of alignment and constantly suppressing what deep down you already know.
In this solo episode, I explore:• why truth itself doesn’t create suffering• how the subconscious mind keeps people trapped in familiar patterns• why “leaving the herd” feels so emotionally uncomfortable• how fear, media, trauma & nervous system dysregulation affect critical thinking• why so many people feel exhausted, hopeless or overwhelmed right now• the link between awareness, self-sabotage & personal freedom• how to question systems WITHOUT losing your peace, health or joy
I also dive into:✔ subconscious programming✔ nervous system regulation✔ emotional resilience✔ trauma patterns✔ self-sabotage✔ truth seeking✔ health freedom✔ self-sufficiency✔ conscious living✔ fear vs awareness✔ why personal change threatens social groups✔ how to become calmer, clearer & more self-led
Awareness alone is not enough.
Real freedom comes from awareness + action.
This is a huge part of the work I now do to help both people and animals.
If you’ve been feeling:• emotionally exhausted• disconnected• overwhelmed by “truth” content• frustrated with friends/family not seeing things• stuck between awareness and fear…this conversation is for you.
You do NOT need to stop questioning.You need to stop letting fear run the process.Truth doesn’t control you.It gives you choice.And awareness with action is what creates freedom.

If you’re using flea and tick treatments on your pet…you need to hear this before you apply the next dose.Because what most people are told is:👉 “Use preventatives regularly”👉 “They’re completely safe”But what I see working with real animals every week… often tells a very different story.This is about reducing unnecessary toxic load while still protecting your animal responsibly.It’s about asking better questions.Because once you put something on or into your animal…you don’t get to take it back out.

Are you questioning more than ever… while friends and family around you seem to question nothing at all?
In this week’s coffee chat with Brice from @EsotericAtlanta we dive into why so many people appear unable or unwilling to react to things that should concern them — from the rollout of live facial recognition and surveillance technology, to animal vaccination programmes, food supply pressure, digital control, and the deeper conditioning that keeps people passive. Not to mention fuel and food shortages.
We also touch on the recent UK court decision allowing the Metropolitan Police’s live facial recognition policy to continue after a human rights challenge, and France drafting in the army to support mass cattle vaccination during a lumpy skin disease outbreak. Both stories raise important questions about how quickly large-scale systems can become normalised.
This conversation is not about panic. It is about discernment, sovereignty, health, community, and asking better questions before the world changes around us and everyone simply adapts.

AI is being sold as one of the greatest advancements of our time. A tool that could transform how we work, learn, heal, create and live.
But like everything, the real question is not just what AI can do. It is how it is being used, who is controlling it, what it is costing, and what it may be changing in us.
In this important conversation, I’m joined by Kim Dammegard from Awake & Unite to explore the good, the bad and the ugly of artificial intelligence. We talk about AI and censorship, data harvesting, surveillance, regulation, energy and water use, jobs, human relationships, health, spirituality, and what happens when convenience starts replacing human thinking, intuition and real-world skills.
We also explore whether there is a grounded, practical way to move into an AI future without losing our humanity, our health, our discernment, or our connection to nature and each other.
This is not a black-and-white conversation. It is about asking better questions now, before we drift into a future we did not consciously choose.
————————————————
In this conversation we discuss:
✅ what AI actually is and how it is evolving
✅ the difference between AI and AGI
✅ censorship and filtered information
✅ regulation, surveillance and data privacy
✅ AI in health, holistic health and personalised medicine
✅ AI and the loss of human skills, intuition and critical thinking
✅ energy use, water use and environmental cost
✅ robotics, warfare and control systems
✅ jobs, dependency and the future of work
✅ why balance, awareness and human connection matter more than ever
————————————————
Kim Dammegard is an artist, researcher and the voice behind Awake & Unite. Her work explores the intersection of AI, crypto, spirituality and holistic health, with a strong focus on helping people navigate the great AI transition in a more conscious and empowered way.

What if “prepping” isn’t extreme at all… but simply the kind of sensible, practical living our grandparents once called normal life?
In this week’s coffee chat, Brice and I talk honestly about prepping without panic, perfection, or fear. We explore why so many people feel overwhelmed by the idea of becoming more self-sufficient, why basic life skills have been lost so quickly, and what small practical steps you can take now to feel calmer, stronger, and more prepared.
We discuss food, water, power, herbal medicine, bartering, mobility, community, survival skills, and why learning even one useful skill can change how you feel about the future.
This is not about fear porn. It’s about taking your power back, one step at a time.
In this conversation we explore:
🎯 Why “prepping” used to be called normal living
🎯 How modern life has made people more dependent and less capable
🎯 Why people freeze when they compare themselves to hardcore preppers
🎯 How to start preparing without overwhelm
🎯 The importance of food, water, heat, power, movement, and skills
🎯 Why herbal medicine is a key survival skill for people and animals
🎯 How fitness and mobility affect real-world resilience
🎯 Why local knowledge, community, and bartering matter more than ever
🎯 Simple things you can do now instead of waiting for the perfect plan
————————————————
Please share in the comments:
What practical skills do you already have?
What’s something unique about your area that could save someone’s life?
And would you like more prepping conversations like this?

What should you really be feeding your dog? And why are so many dogs now struggling with skin issues, gut problems, obesity, chronic inflammation, ear infections, anal gland problems and more?
In this episode, I’m joined by holistic vet Nick Thompson to talk about the truth about feeding your dog, and why it may be much simpler than most people have been led to believe.
We explore how dogs went from eating real food in rhythm with nature… to being fed ultra-processed, highly marketed “complete and balanced” diets every day for life, and why that shift may be driving so many of the chronic health issues we now see in our animals.
Nick shares his simple framework for raw feeding, the biggest mistakes people make when switching away from kibble, the truth about canned food, how to make the process less overwhelming, and why variety matters so much.
We also talk about hydration, fasting, feeding frequency, timing meals around exercise, and why feeding your dog should not feel complicated or frightening.
This conversation is all about coming back to common sense, real food, and trusting that nature usually got it right long before industry got involved.
In this interview we cover:
✅ Why feeding dogs has become so confusing
✅ The rise of kibble and ultra-processed dog food
✅ Why canned food is not necessarily much better
✅ The health impact of feeding species-inappropriate food long term
✅ Nick’s simple raw feeding framework
✅ The importance of variety
✅ Common mistakes people make when switching to raw
✅ How to transition from kibble or canned food
✅ Once a day vs twice a day feeding
✅ Feeding around exercise
✅ Hydration and bone broth
