The Missing Peace Presents : The Thought Trap

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.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jo Barker for a warm and honest conversation about self-expression — and how it’s become a powerful route out of old patterns for her. We talk about the shifts that have unfolded in the short time we’ve known each other, how our chats on local radio opened unexpected doors, and what can happen when you stop holding back and let your voice lead the way.

Jo is an intuitive coach who supports heart-led professionals over 40 to reset their nervous system, set clear boundaries, and create a more confident, fulfilling life. Check out Jo Barker👇

"I made a mistake, I feel so much regret, I wish I had done it differently"

We all make mistakes — but what if they were never really mistakes at all? In this Trap Talk episode, I talk about what’s really happening when the mind replays the past, and what becomes possible when we start to see it differently.

I’ve been noticing how many unspoken rules seem to run life — things like “I should always be useful” or “I shouldn’t upset anyone.” In this episode, I talk about the invisible rulebook we all seem to carry, and what shifts when we stop treating those rules as facts.

If you’d like to explore this kind of reflection more deeply, you can find me at www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com — my coaching practice where I help people see beyond the Thought Traps that keep them stuck, and rediscover the calm and clarity that’s always been there underneath.

This episode is all about anticipation — that familiar spiral the mind goes into before a big change or event. My guest, Laura Bernann, shares a touching and honest story about her daughter heading off to college, and how easily our thoughts can race ahead, create stories, and stir up all sorts of emotions. It’s a beautifully human glimpse into how the mind tries to manage what hasn’t even happened yet. Enjoy this very relatable conversation.

This episode is a special one — I was honoured to have the lovely Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, join me on The Thought Trap. We got up close and personal with thought and explored what becomes possible when we start to see what lies beyond it. In my personal journey and in my coaching, Amy has been fundamental. I hope you enjoy this exploration as much as I did.

A heartfelt moment with Alan Watts’ words that landed not just in my ears but in my whole body — an invitation to drop the Thought Trap and feel that YOU are already enough.

“I feel full of panic, worry, and anxiety 24/7.”

If you’ve ever felt trapped in that storm, this Trap Talk is for you. Instead of trying to solve anxiety with more thinking, I point you toward something SO much simpler — dropping into the body, feeling the raw sensations, and discovering the calm that’s always here. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain: being back in life.

In this episode, I’m joined by two wonderful guests as we toss spirituality onto the table for some real, openhearted and honest conversation. In the spirit of “explore” from my PEEP approach, we broke down the stigma, looked at spirituality from three different perspectives, and gave it space to breathe. No rules, no right answers—just an invitation to see what lands for you and what looks true in your own experience.

Check out my guests :)
