In this episode, we’re joined by a tax expert to explore the financial realities facing UK business owner, particularly when divorce and taxes collide. We break down how business assets are treated in family proceedings, the tax implications that can arise when extracting funds to reach a settlement, and why liquidity can quickly become a serious issue.

Many entrepreneurs assume their company structure offers protection, but the reality is often more complex. We also discuss the wider financial pressures currently affecting high earners, including rising costs, business rates, and the increasing tax burden causing business owners to question whether remaining in the UK is sustainable long term.

If you’re a business owner, investor, or adviser, this conversation highlights the risks, misconceptions and financial exposure that are often overlooked until they become unavoidable.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Jonny shares what it’s really like to wake up paralysed at 28 after a sudden stroke and how losing his body, career, and future plans forced him to rebuild his life from the ground up.

This episode explores resilience, trauma, identity, and what it truly means to rebuild when everything familiar is gone.

In this deeply honest and emotional episode, Becky shares what it’s really like to be married to an alcoholic and the hidden trauma that comes with loving someone who is struggling with alcoholism.

Christmas can be one of the hardest times to co-parent, especially when your ex thrives on control, conflict, or last-minute chaos. As a family lawyer, at this time of year I get asked the same questions every year, around various Christmas disputes separated parents face. From sudden plan changes and silence tactics to withheld handovers, gift battles, excessive FaceTiming, and emotional manipulation through the children.

Using real-life examples and years of court experience, this guide explains what the law actually expects at Christmas, how judges view “high-conflict” behaviour, and how to protect your children emotionally while staying calm, child-focused, and legally safe. You’ll learn what to do if your ex refuses contact, won’t confirm plans, uses Christmas as leverage, bad-mouths you to your child, or tries to control the narrative, and why your response matters more than their actions.

If you’re dreading Christmas because of a narcissistic or high-conflict ex, this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and practical steps to get through the holidays with your dignity intact and your children protected.

In this powerful episode, former Royal Marine and Special Boat Service operator James Hill takes us deep inside the world of the UK’s most elite military unit. From a tough childhood and finding purpose in the Marines, to surviving brutal commando training, multiple Afghanistan tours, piracy missions at sea, and the gruelling Special Forces selection process, James reveals the reality behind the uniform.

He opens up about firefights, IED blasts, live combat, the mental toll of constant danger, and the moment he was shot five times during a daring operation. James also shares rare insight into SBS culture, selection, evasion training, and what civilians never truly understand about the people who protect the country in complete silence. This is a raw, honest and emotional conversation about courage, brotherhood, trauma, sacrifice and the price paid by the few who stand between danger and the rest of us.

In this powerful and emotional episode, we sit down with a father who has spent five years fighting to see his daughter. Despite multiple court orders granting him contact, repeated enforcement failures and inconsistent judges he is in the same place as he was five years ago. This is a raw look into how the UK family court system is failing this father, and many other father's up and down the country.

We talk about the impact on mental health, the feeling of “living bereavement,” and why so many parents feel powerless and broken by a process that should deliver fairness. If you’re navigating family court, supporting a loved one through it, or want to understand why real change is urgently needed, this episode is a must-watch.
