  • S3 Ep166: The Urban Monk: An Interview with Dr Pedram Shojai

    Send us Fan Mail

    On this week's podcast we’re delighted to talk to Pedram Shojai, who is well known as the Urban Monk. He is a Dr of Oriental Medicine & Integrative Medicine, a taoist priest, a qi gong master, film maker and a New York Times best selling author. 

    We met Pedram when we were in the US at a health conference and we hit it off immediately. In this episode Dr Pedram shares his insights on the the cause of the midlife crisis, how we often get trapped in the medical system of cure rather than prevention and how we’re constantly being distracted from taking responsibility for our life.

    There is so much in this podcast that will get you thinking - perhaps in new and different ways, and we hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it.

  • S3 Ep163: Don't Ignore Red Flags

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we discuss why it’s important not to ignore red flags - your gut instinct - that says something, someone or a situation isn’t quite right. 

    We’ve all had this experience where we’ve ignored our instinct only to kick ourselves later down the line. Or we’ve made a decision quickly, not knowing why and it’s potentially changed the direction of our life. We share our own experiences of this and hope you enjoy it!

  • S3 Ep162: Changing Our Behaviour: An Interview with Dr Nicola Eccles

    Send us Fan Mail

    Do you often wonder why you find it so hard to change? Regardless of how much you try, you keep ending up doing the exact same things over and over? That’s because behaviour change is complex. And we want to be totally transparent - it’s not easy.

    But the most important thing to remember is that behaviour change IS possible, because not only have we changed our own unhealthy behaviours over the years, but we’ve also seen countless clients do the same on our eight week programme.

    So that’s why we wanted to share our latest podcast episode with you, where we interview Dr Nicola Eccles, from On Wellbeing. We dive into the steps to changing behaviour for the long term, until it becomes a habit and discuss why compassion is so key to transformation.

    You can reach Nicola at: https://www.onwellbeing.com

  • S3 Ep161: Reframing Failure

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we’re discussing failure, because there’s such pressure in today’s society to be a success, that we often find the fear of failure debilitating.

    The reality is, we all fail. We fail at relationships, we fail at business, we fail at personal goals, we fail at being true to our ourselves.

    But failure isn't the end unless we let it be. It's an integral part of trying. If we never fail, we're not taking risks or pushing boundaries. We're playing it safe. And safe might feel comfortable, but it doesn't foster growth or a life well lived.

    So, in this episode we unpack all of this so that you don’t feel so alone. This is about  celebrating failure as the positive signpost to growth it really is.

  • S3 Ep160: Divorce: A Kinder, Better Way To Untie The Knot, Interview With Kate Daly

    Send us Fan Mail

    Divorce is often an emotionally and financially painful experience, not just for the couple involved, but for children and wider friends and family. But what if there was a way to end relationships in a kinder way, that helped couples avoid the emotional and financial turmoil of traditional solicitor approaches?

    In this episode we talk to Kate Daly who, inspired by the lessons of her own long and painful divorce, set up the service 'amicable' for divorcing couples. The service is unique in bringing together a range of specialist to help couples navigate divorce and encourage the best outcomes for all involved.

    We cover why midlife divorce rates are rising, why women are more likely to initiate divorce, the impact on friends and family, and the strategies that might move couples to a better place.

  • S3 Ep159: Andropause: The Unspoken Struggle Affecting Millions Of Men Over 40

    Send us Fan Mail

    Recently, you might have seen interviews with icons like Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays and Robbie Williams sharing their experiences of andropause.

    It's great to see high-profile figures discussing this condition, as it affects countless midlife men and their loved ones. But here's the thing – andropause isn't limited to rockstars. This often overlooked condition has been under-researched, with estimates suggesting that 20-25% of men may experience symptoms of low testosterone.

    In this episode we lift the lid on andropause and give you some actionable pointers to start dealing with the symptoms and start having open conversations about it.

  • S3 Ep158: 'Realistic' (Not Perfect!) Morning Routines

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode we’re sharing the importance of a 'realistic' morning routine and the key word here is realistic, not perfect.

    This episode came about after seeing a post from someone on social media about their daily routine. It had about 30 things on it and we worked out that it would take over four hours to get through, before even starting work. This breeds a feeling of inadequecy and can make us feel as though we’re not doing enough or being enough.

    It also highlights why we must be discerning about how we utilise information from social media, because life isn’t perfect and yet we’re seeing everyone's highlight reels.

    Of course, a good morning routine will set you up for the day, but it also has to work for you in terms of its timings and focus. So here we offer up a simple routine that takes about 10 minutes and will set you up for a powerful, joyful day, without the overwhelm.
