Imagine walking into a classroom and seeing the teacher sitting at a school desk as a young student runs the lesson. At first thought this seems somewhat absurd and surely likely to boast an unruly outcome, right? Well once you are immersed in a few minutes hearing Gavin McCormack's perspective on learning and teaching according as a schoolteacher, principal and Montessori ambassador, you may find yourself (like me) leaning in and wondering what wonderful opportunities and attributes might just be uncovered for children sooner in such an environment.

Gavin McCormack in addition to his work as is a trained Montessori teacher, children’s author, teacher trainer, philanthropist and school principal has spent his time building schools in Nepal and founding www.upschool.co, an online learning platform that's FREE for anyone to access around the world. 

For me this was an incredibly uplifting and mind-opening conversation that I adored, I hope you do too!

John McDougall, MD, is a physician, speaker and best-selling author who teaches the importance of a whole food, starch-based diet in order to halt, reverse and heal chronic disease. 

Doting grandfather, John McDougall started his career in medicine as a GP getting a well-rounded understanding of how to keep people well and healthy. Though he seemed to be falling short of his own expectations when it came to chronic disease, which lead him to dive deep into what is now known as The McDougall Program, a leading medical program that heals chronic illness through professional medical care, world-class education, and ongoing support for people transitioning to a starch-based lifestyle.

He's a fire-cracker full of insight, experience and knowledge, I hope you enjoy the episode.

Bobby has come in guns blazing this week after reading a post on social media...  'The Self-Help Antidote' is the name of Bobby's podcast due to necessity we have for auditing the bullshit that can get wheeled out as 'self-help' in today's world. 

What is the cause and effect of 'absolute thinking', of the idea that anyone is right and there is one right way or answer to our problems, and those who portray that 'the work' MUST be hard and unenjoyable in order to be effective. 

Thank goodness we have the Self-Help Antidote to keep the bullshit in check!

There’s training, then there’s training. I stepped it up this week and called out for a workout challenge from the guru himself, Craig Harper. Amidst executing his directive, I found myself going deep into a place in my mind I haven’t visited for a while. I LOVED it. So much comes to me in terms of knowledge vs application. How was it that I could find myself in that place when in that very moment there was not actual accountability to my coach? Harps wasn’t there watching over me yet the accountability to him (and to myself) was so strong that it bypassed all my usual excuses and there we were, exceeding the limits that the mind places on the body and on performance. Amidst the experience I recognised choice-points, strategies and beliefs that mattered. They mattered because learning them and teaching them is one thing. But as we know, knowing is not doing. And in addition to the process of this training session, the ripple effect in my mindset and behaviours outside of this arena have already showed promising changes. We are fascinating creatures us humans… how lucky we are to have the ability to observe ourselves and our own thoughts and actions in this way.

Serving Others Is The Best Medicine For Ourselves | Dr. Stephen Trzeciak

Dr. Stephen Trzeciak was at the top of his game as a research scientist until an unexpected question from his 12-year-old son transformed his life's work. "What is the most pressing problem of our time? Do we really know? And what would happen if we actually did?"  

Landing ‘compassion’ as what Stephen believed for him was the most pressing problem of our time, and as a researcher he wasted no time getting down to business around looking at the science of compassion and the evidence based data that tells us without a shadow of a doubt that compassion is not only the cornerstone of the art of medicine, but it is a wonder-drug that serves the giver every bit as much as the receiver, if not more. In this conversation we talk about some of the scientific research around compassion, it’s effects on anxiety and depression and how the pandemic has highlighted the light and shade of compassion and it’s erosion in society today.

Stephen Trzeciak, MD, MPH is a physician-scientist, Chief of Medicine at Cooper University Health Care, and Professor and Chair of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University in Camden, New Jersey. Dr. Trzeciak is a practicing intensivist (specialist in intensive care medicine), and a clinical researcher with more than 120 publications in the scientific literature. Dr. Trzeciak’s publications have been featured in prominent medical journals, such as: JAMA, Circulation, and The New England Journal of Medicine. His scientific program has been supported by research grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with Dr. Trzeciak serving as Principal Investigator.

Dr. Trzeciak is the co-author of two books, Compassionomics: The Revolutionary Scientific Evidence That Caring Makes a Difference, and Wonder Drug: 7 Scientifically Proven Ways That Serving Others Is the Best Medicine for Yourself. His work has been featured in numerous media outlets including CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, The New York Daily News, and Freakonomics. For this work, he was awarded the Influencers of Healthcare Award by The Philadelphia Inquirer. Broadly, Dr. Trzeciak’s mission is to raise compassion and kindness globally through science.

I LOVED this conversation and I think you will too!

Getting brilliant advice from the right people with the right information to share when it comes to health and energy is one thing. But when that right person is just exuding joy and vitality it sure is the icing on the (metaphoric, of course) cake that makes you want to go right ahead and embrace that knowledge. Well, it's fair to say Dr. Libby Weaver sure is that kind of person and having this conversation with her was beyond brilliant as she shared some wisdom around everything from being emotionally responsible and having awareness on what we are missing when we 'outsource' our nutrition by way of seemingly 'healthy' convenience and takeaway foods, to quitting sugar (oh dear, I've signed up for her upcoming course) and addressing chronic underconsumption of calories and the psychology around reverse dieting. There's also some serious gold in here for those who are at or nearing menopause. It's fair to say I have deemed Dr. Libby another podcasting bestie of mine.

Enjoy!

Laughter... when you really think about it, it's a bit of a weird thing isn't it? Like when all of our human functions were thrown together for our survival as a human species it kind of perplexes me that laughter got a look-in. However there's a heel of a lot of scientifically proven benefits to a good old belly laugh, there's even laughter yoga, believe it or not. So I'm chatting with someone who does just that, Bianca Spears. A philosophy of fun and laughter, this was sure to be a feel-good, get-the-endorphins-pumping kind of chat and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Resilience. We all want more of it. We've all likely run low on it at times throughout this last couple of years. And we're all being told how to develop it from each and every angle. Today Bobby and I are having a conversation around the facts and fiction when it comes to resilience. We talk about trauma, healing, memories, forgiveness and exposure. A deeper dive into a topic we've bantered on before and likely to again. Enjoy!

We've all heard of or read The Secret. We've all heard people shouting 'manifestation' from the rooftops and I don't know if it's just me and my world at the moment, but it seems to be buzzing with manifestation 'courses', workshops and coaches selling the 'how-to' around this elusive, kind of woo-woo protocol around creating the life and circumstances we desire. So I'm riffing on some of my own thoughts and ideas on the topic in today's episode. I hope you enjoy it!

If only self-confidence was a skill we could develop, huh? Oh, guess what… it is!

Dr. Ivan Joseph caught my eye with his wildly popular (like 26+ million views popular) TED Talk ‘The Skill Of Self-Confidence’ and so I thought who better to lure into a conversation to extract some self-confidence gold from?? Dr. Ivan Joseph is a world-renowned leadership expert, best-selling author, keynote speaker, award-winning coach, and low and behold… an ambidextrous ping-pong player. 

We cover so much valuable ground in this conversation, from not only how to cultivate self-confidence and use physical cues to negate negative thoughts, but how to engender trust in relationships, teams and organisations, how to find purpose in our careers and importantly how to develop the self-confidence required to express our needs in our working environment and navigate getting them met.

So many nuggets.. Enjoy!!
