Artist Vicky Paul joins us to chat about the therapeutic benefits of intuitive painting. Vicky is an abstract artist and energy healer and teaches people to use art as a way to express and process emotions, plus tap into their psychic powers and channel their intuition.

She also guides us through how to do our own intuitive energy paintings. It doesn't matter whether you think you're creative or not, you don't even need to own any paints or a paintbrush. Get ready to let loose! And release your inner child and inner guide.

As per usual, Gwen and Kate come back at the end after trying it themselves and share if they think this is a feel-good tool to add to the box. To see Gwen and Kate's artistic endeavours, plus hear Vicky explain what different colours can mean, head to: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-32-intuitive-71407738?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator

Mr Motivator (yes, THE Mr Motivator) chats to us about everything from exercise to positivity, future-proofing your health, leading an exercise class before a funeral, the importance of wearing Day-Glo lycra and how he likes to tell his wife he loves her.

The Jamaican-born British fitness instructor burst onto our screens in the '90s and quickly became a household name following appearances on the UK breakfast television show GMTV. His legendary infectious positivity, fun live fitness sessions and advice for viewers saw him return to our screens during the pandemic when we needed him most! And now he dedicates his time to helping people improve their health, especially the older generation.

We caught up with Mr Motivator at The Big Retreat Festival, where he'd been leading a class on stage and had just given an honest and inspiring talk in the Talk Tent. He sets us all a simple challenge which promises to have lasting positive effects for all ages.

'The Warm Up: The Story Behind the Lycra with Television's Mr Motivator' is available from all good bookstores: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-warm-up/derrick-evans/9781910819579

We're talking all things burnout and chronic stress with the founder of The Anti-Burnout Club, Bex Spiller. Bex explains what burnout actually means and how it's not just reserved for city CEOs but can affect all of us juggling busy lives. She shares how to spot the signs (erm screen scrolling & bingeing anyone?) how to deal with burnout and most importantly how to prevent reaching overwhelm in the first place. She also shares her own experiences with burnout, which led to her completely changing her life.

We discuss finding the things that bring you joy, learning to say no, and the difference between good and bad stress. Bex then challenges us to take a Character Strengths Survey (link below) to help us better understand where our strengths lie and how we can use them to increase happiness and reduce stress.

If you want to take the free Character Strengths Survey head to: https://www.viacharacter.org/
