It seems to be incredibly common to quickly move on from our achievements and either dismiss them or fail to acknowledge what we've done well. In this episode, Simon and I look at why this seems to be the norm, discuss our own personal highlights and work-on's as well as reflecting on how we're trying to reverse-engineer the situation.

In a society that places emphasis on going the extra mile and giving it your all, at what point does the body (and the mind) decide that enough is enough? Today Lauren and I talk about her experiences from burnout, the positive and negative lessons that she learnt and how it feels looking back over how she navigated her way through the difficult times to come back stronger.

As a child, when we look to what the future holds it can be expected that things will work out and life will follow a positive trajectory - but what happens when that isn't the case and either circumstance or choice cause things to take a turn south? Today Simon (no, another one...) talk about when the bottom falls out of your world, how do you climb back up and what can be learned in the face of adversity.

Over the course of our lives we all have a number of changes that we need to navigate, whether these be physical, situational or otherwise - but how do we adapt to a rapidly changing world and what does that look like? Today I talk with Lisa Tregenza who is a movement and mindset coach, trauma coach and qualified yogi about the impacts of trauma, changes in and around menopause and the benefits of spirituality among other things.

Humans are wired for connection, both socially and transactionally but why do so many people end up feeling lonely when there are so many modes of connection around us? Today I talk with Jonny about how connection impacts wellbeing, how do we connect with others - including those who insist that they're "all good" - and the formula for creating solid connections.

As discussed in the episode, below is a link for the AMI promo that Jonny filmed:

Nowadays - particularly with comparison culture - the onus is on us to do a number of things in order to be seen as having a good life, but what does this mean? Today Simon and I talk about our own time spent being a single parent while trying to fit in a 'good life' at the same time.

Neil and I discuss our own outlook on self-improvement and the forms this takes, changing things up career-wise and a lot of the things that have helped shape how we show up in the world today, in addition to how society impacts on our ability to have a 'good life'.

We all have bad days but how does that progress to the point where ending your life seems like the next step? Ruth talks with me about her own journey into the depths of depression, to how she came out the other side and what life looks like for her now.

When emigrating - as in many things - people only see the end result or the parts that they want to see, rather than the grind behind the scenes. Francesca and I look at the hard times, the positives and share a few insights for those making the move and those looking to make the most of life once they have.
