In this episode, I explore something subtle but deeply human — how psychology can quietly pull a fast one on us. Using a simple phone metaphor, I invite you to notice the difference between thoughts and feelings showing up… and who you are beneath them.

I’m making January all about habits. Emotions and feelings are at the heart of how habits really work, so it felt like the right place to start. This episode opens a month of gentle conversations around habits — without willpower.

“I’ve had lots of physical back pain and I’ve noticed how it always seems to flare at the most inconvenient times. I’ve done lots of physio work and my back is probably the best it’s been, but there’s still this constant worry in the background that it might come back. How do I stop living like that?”

This is a personal share episode. As we come to the end of 2025, I was invited to do something that hadn’t occurred to me to do. I’m so glad I did — and I couldn’t think of someone more perfect to do it with.

It’s December, and it feels very on theme to talk about presents. Not the kind you wrap — something even better :). In this episode, I explore why Christmas can feel harder than it needs to, how we quietly disappear into our heads, and why trying to control or quiet the mind never really works. We look at where our attention goes at this time of year, why that makes such a difference, and what becomes available when it shifts.

In this episode of The Thought Trap, I sit down with former certified change coach Juliet O'Rourke for an honest, refreshing conversation about ADHD—beyond the labels, beyond the noise, and deep into the lived experience. We talk about Juliet’s personal journey: the confusion, the clarity, and the unexpected ways she found relief and resilience. Rather than focusing on strategies or fixes, we explore what truly helped her feel more grounded and less defined by a diagnosis. If you—or someone you love—has ever felt boxed in by a label or overwhelmed by your own mind, this episode offers a gentle reminder: there’s always more to you than the story you think you’re stuck in.

Juliet was diagnosed with ADHD at 50, after a lifetime of believing she was fundamentally flawed. That moment changed everything. It led her to explore not just the science of ADHD, but also the deeper, spiritual side of being human and to completely change her career path from therapy to coaching. Today, she’s a certified ADHD coach who blends practical understanding with a big-picture spiritual perspective. Juliet brings compassion, insight, and lived experience to her work, helping adults with ADHD see their strengths, understand their minds, and thrive with confidence and purpose.

This week is your December habit taster — a tiny bite of what habits really are before our big January 2026 deep dive.

We look at why habits kick in before you even notice, how your brain thinks it’s helping, and why none of it is personal. All I want you to do is peep at your own loops with Christmas-Eve child like curiosity.

Listening after January? Yey, you are in for a treat....head straight to episodes 39–42 for the full habit mega-mix.

“I work 9 to 5 but I think about work all the time. How do I stop?”

In this month’s Trap Talk, we’re not trying to “switch off” or control the mind. Instead, we explore why the mind keeps talking about work when you’re not even at work — and what happens when we simply peep at thought rather than follow it. Not to fix thinking, but to see it as mechanical, impersonal, and not our responsibility to act on. If it feels like work comes home with you this is the episode for you.

In this episode, I’m joined by special guest Missy Maiorano, a Certified Change Coach, for a gentle conversation about the parts of ourselves we tend to hide or push away. Together we explore why we innocently do this, how the “better version” idea is made up, and what opens up when we let all pieces of ourselves welcome.

Ever notice how thoughts pile on like jumpers on a mild autumn night? (Check out the episode to know what the heck I mean here).

In The Extra Layer, I explore how the mind innocently adds weight to what’s already here — and how peace, clarity, and insight begin to show up when we see through that extra layer.
