  • Love After Death: Louise Blyth (Part II)

    We meet Louise Blyth, author of 'Hope is Coming', for the second time. (Catch her first episode with us here: Life After Death)

    After losing her husband to bowel cancer at the age of 33, she and her 2 young boys set about understanding what life might be like without George. Louise is a shining example of how to live with grief. How it folds into your life and is able to enjoy a fulfilling and enlightened path forward. 

    We learn:

    • The difference between grief and mourning
    • Time is irrelevant in the grief process. Shed the need to be 'normal'. There are societal BS 'norms' that need to be addressed.  
    • Falling in love again - the fear, the mindset, the safeguarding.
    • Dealing with 'the impostor': What am I feeding my soul? What did I just read? What narrative did I just digest?!
    • A second book is on its way so watch this space and we'll let you know when it's out!

          We speak to the co-host of the 'Good Mourning' podcast Imogen Carn. Losing her mother to suicide in early 2020 she has learned about grief under inexplicable circumstances. No answers. No reasons. No closure. 

          We discuss: 

          • Her pre-natal anxiety and fear
          • Guilt as a useless emotion
          • Grief is a life long process. Sometimes it's best to live minute to minute

          • Touching, raw and real. Im is now creator of a podcast with her grief buddy Sally. They track their grief, tell their story, interview others about their losses. It's a first class podcast that gives mourners and grievers permission for aaaaaaall the feeling to be ok. Check it out and recommend it to those who need it.

              • Alex Haslam: The Academic View of Self & Leadership

                A fascinating insight on humanity through the eyes and work of this Social Psychologist, Professor Alex Haslam, from the University of Queensland.

                We discuss

                • The Stanford Prison Experiment (conforming to role) versus (his work as cocreator of) the BBC Prion Experiment. 
                • Milgram's experiments and work on conforming to authority - see Alex's TED talk about this - 'The Psychology of Tyranny: Did Milgram Get It Wrong?'
                • Leaders as 'Entrepreneurs of Identity'. One can only be a leader when you have engaged followership. It is not a title, it is a way of being. 
                • Our sense of self comes from how we identify within groups. 
                • Alex's books and collaborations can all be found here - alex-haslam

                      We round off Season 3 with our stories. It's about time you knew who you were dealing with, right?!

                      We hear how Gabi overcame a relationship vortex, and made a daring move away from a stable pay check into the wonderful world of entrepreneurship. 

                      Amelia's weird, wonderful route takes us through plentiful pivots; from a nomadic childhood and through three meaty career changes. 

                      Enjoy! We'll be back in the summer!

                      • Coach Approach: Attachment Theory

                        A fascinating look at the Attachment Theory. 

                        We talk to Relationship Coach, Saoirse Linder about her niche. We learn that we humans find ourselves hopping between three ways of being within a relationship Anxious, Avoidant and Secure and how we might find a more fulfilling path.

                        • Talia Litman: Sex, Love & Relationships

                          We’re joined by New York based Marriage and Family therapist Talia Litman. Talia works means she has expert insight into the different pivots couples go through in their lives.

                          She guides us through three common relationship pivots (and a secret 4th pivot of the pre-relationship tempest of dating)

                          We learn about transitioning from the honeymoon period, understanding life stages within the context of a relationship and also navigating the unexpected events in life. 

                          We cover questions like: Are we having enough sex? How to really communicate, and what happens if you’re constantly dating the wrong person?

                          (And spoiler alert on sex - there is no normal! You do you!)

                          Resources:

                          She mentions Ester Perel, who we also love, here is her website.

                                On the 29th of July 2014 whilst out riding her horse, Tara was thrown to the ground, breaking her neck and becoming instantly paralysed. 

                                She was found 5 hours later and spent the next 9 months in hospital. 

                                Tara’s story is one of sheer determination, resilience and tenacity. Her ability to find hope in the most hopeless of situations is remarkable.

                                This is a pivot like no other.
