Episode 11 features Paul Garrigan in a candid conversation about his life from a turbulent childhood in Liverpool through addiction, boxing, steroid use, legal trouble and a suicide attempt, to pivotal turnarounds

Paul is someone who I met back in 2023 at an event in Liverpool and we connected quickly and deeply. I have had the privilege of facilitating Paul at my own Constellations workhops, as well as experience and particpate in Pauls Mens Groups, and Breathwork classes.

I have seen him grow, develop, and evolve over the last 3 years and someone who most definitely embodies someone being the change and walking the talk.

This last episode of Season 1 is a vulnerable one, and almost had me in tears within the first 10 minutes, and charts a course from a life growing up in working class North Liverpool, to the various experiences that have shaped him in to the Man he has become.

It has a particular emphasis on Men however is most definitely an episode for both Men and Women alike.

Episode 10 of Pool of Life features the legend that is Lee Owens, founder of Float Planet in Liverpool, sharing his journey from a childhood on the outskirts of the City to running the best flotation therapy centre on Merseyside.

The discussion is an evolutionary process, unfolding a life trajectory and evolving inner operating system.  It also highlights what flotation therapy is, how it helps people stop, reset and process emotions, and why the tank can be a powerful tool for nervous‑system regulation, creativity and integration.

Lee also reflects on personal growth, fatherhood, running a business, and Flow Planet’s membership offer for regular floats. Join us for the penultimate episode of Season #1

Welcome to the Pool of Life Podcast Episode #9 with Dr Jens Thomas. Co-founder of Liverpool based social-enterpise Farm Urban, with Dr Paul Myers who I interviewed in Episode #6.

As always the interview was conducted in nature as we walked through the stunning Dibbinsdale Woods on the Wirral in Merseyside. I was introduced to this special place by my cousin and so if you're on Merseyside do go and check it out.   

What can I say..this was a powerful and deep conversation (as I anticipated). In the first part of the podcast its always appreciated to explore the early years and the life trajectory and experiences that shape a person.

It's wide-ranging conversation about his life,  from sailing to Australia and living in remote Argentina, to quantum chemistry, music, and the origins of Farm Urban.

As with the my own inner work and the Pool of Life, Jens also has shares his own inner work as we explore spiritual practices like the Diamond Approach, the importance of trust, grief, kindness, and gratitude.

Its also about how new ways of living and working can emerge in tune with nature as an antidote to the extractive and destructive modern systems that we live in. 

Jens is definitely someone who embodies #beingthechange - Enjoy

Welcome to the Pool of Life Podcast Episode #8 with Poppy Altmann and join us for another deep conversation in nature as we walk along the might river Thames in Richmond, Greater London. A place where Poppy grew up and currently resides.

As is the theme with most Pool of Life Interviews, they take place in the beauty of nature where the person being interviewed is often rooted.

Poppy is an International Family Constellations Facilitator, Trainer & Supervisor, and someone who is respected highly, both my myself and the wider Constellations community. 

This interview forms part of a series of Pool of Life Podcast interviews that fosusses specifically on Constellations practitioners who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. As a 20 year practicing Homeopathist, Poppy blends this powerful healing modality with an equally powerful healing modality - Family Constellations to form Homeo-Constellations. 

Join us as we explore a life journey that has its roots in an ancestral story of holocaust survival, to a stint in Venezuela, motherhood, and key influences that have shaped a path of learning and healing and one that continues to evolve.

Welcome to Episode #6 of the Pool of Life Podcast.

Continuing the theme of interviewing change-makers from the City of my birth - Liverpool (UK), let me introduce you to someone who for me epitomises what it means to be a pioneering and visionary Leader!

Dr Paul Myers - Co Founder and Managing Director of Liverpool based social enterprise - Farm Urban. 

The last couple of episodes have been conducted in beautiful nature, and that continues here as I interviewed Paul in Childwall Woods, an absolute gem of a nature space in South Liverpool, and a place where Paul starts each day. 

Paul is someone I have worked closely with in the last 18 months, supporting him and Farm Urban with their powerful mission to transform our cities and towns into greener, healthier more inclusive places.

I have worked and travelled around the world for many years, supporting and collaborating with many people and many organisations, and I can hand on heart say Farm Urban is undoubtedly my favourite.

Join us as we dive in to Paul's rich journey to date, his personal philosophy and dynamic approach to life, how he met co-founder Jens Thomas, and the evolution and future of Farm Urban. 

Check out Paul and the incredible work of Farm Urban on the usual Socials below.

Welcome to Episode #5 of the Pool of Life Podcast. I had the honour and privilege of interviewing Forest School Leader & Trainer Jim Loftus of Grow Wellbeing in woodland on the mystical Bidston Hill on the Wirral Peninsula.
