  • 059 What Happened To The Podcast?

    Hi everyone! It's been a long while. I'm still here, still podcasting, still creating. Here's a quick update of what I've been up to and why I haven't released any episodes for 6 months.


    This is a clip taken from an episode I recorded on my wife's podcast, Pharmacist Diaries. Head over there to hear the full conversation.

  • 058 This Guy Is On Fire with Nick Feeney

    Watch the full episode on YouTube or Spotify

    Whilst forging a successful career, Nick turned into a version of himself that he thought he needed to be. He projected a persona that was bigger and better, suggesting life was even more awesome and more successful than it really was. And whilst to the outside world, he was successful materialistically, he wore a mask for years becoming a version of himself that he grew to dislike.

    Sound familiar?

    In this episode Nick shares his story from how he lost literally everything and rebuilt his life by taking responsibility for who he was and who he wanted to become.

    In 10 years he has gone from burnt out to being on fire!

    Nick is an Internationally Accredited Life Coach and Mentor and now uses  life experiences, learnings and skills to help men with a midlife reset so they can avoid their own midlife crisis.

    • 056: Back To School Special - Helping Children Manage Big Feelings with Natalie Costa

      It's that time of year again. The time that many parents look forward to, after a long summer with the children. But how do your children feel? I know how I felt after 6 weeks at home and then having to go back to school. For many this can bring up some big feelings and emotions which they probably do not know how to handle.

      That's where Natalie Costa comes in. With over ten years experience in teaching and education, Natalie is all too familiar with the struggles, pressures and demands that both teachers and children face. She has observed how easily children become disengaged when they are faced with a difficult task; how quickly they feel they CAN’T do something, simply because it’s more challenging to achieve; how anxious and overwhelmed they feel with the ever increasing demands from the curriculum and from society as a whole, feeling the pressure to conform to what everyone else is doing, the pressure to ‘fit in’.

      Natalie is the founder of Power Thoughts, which is a teaching, coaching and mindfulness based service which is aimed at empowering children to tap into the ‘power’ of their minds. Through our sessions they are taught how to become confident, resilient and robust, developing a ‘can-do’ attitude that allows them to flourish both in and out of the classroom setting.

      In this episode I sit down in person with Natalie to talk about: 

      • Natalie’s background and upbringing
      • How self doubt and imposter syndrome has impacted her
      • Positive framing and growth mindset
      • How she carved out a career through her curiosities
      • Benefits of coaching for kids
      • How to help children manage big feelings

      • 055 The Healthcare Revolution with Dr Iain Broadley

        Have you ever been told by a doctor that it would help if you lost weight, did some exercise or eat a healthier diet? Usually that advice is not followed up with any practical advice on how to do those things.

        Well thankfully that is about to change.

        Nutritank was founded by two medical students Dr Ally Jaffee and Dr Iain Broadley who believed that nutrition and lifestyle medicine education in medical training was not adequate. They believed that they had a responsibility to their generation and future generations of doctors to make a change and that young people are in the ideal position to make that difference.

        By working with medical schools, nutrition and dietetic organisations around the UK, Nutritank has evolved into an innovative information hub of food, nutrition and lifestyle medicine.

        In this episode we discuss Dr Broadley's background and how he got into medicine. He shares openly about how he didn't have a great self care routine during his first time at university (he has two degrees!). This led to  a breakdown due to stress prior to his finals in the 3rd year. He bounced back through dedicating time to self-care This experience got him through medical school. It highlighted to him the importance of self-care and lifestyle, and as a medical student he asked himself the obvious question: "Why are we not teaching this to our doctors?"

        He shares his experience of how Nutritank has been influential in changing the curriculum at medical school across the UK to include nutrition and lifestyle education.

        I cannot stress how significant this is! Thanks to Nutritank our future generations will be provided with the tools and education of how to look after our physical and mental health which you cannot put a price on.

      • 051 My Spiritual Journey Through Cancer with Lakshmi Patel
        Making her second appearance on the podcast is my best friend Lakshmi Patel. Lakshmi and I sat down for a long overdue chat about her life post breast cancer. This is a deep conversation. We discuss everything from childhood trauma's that have shaped us both, Lakshmi talks about her spiritual journey through cancer and how it has lead her to find her true purpose. Lakshmi and I have known each other since we were 8 years old (that's 35 years - you do the math and work out our age!). There isn't another person alive that knows me as well as she does and I can say confidently that it's the same the other way around.
        Her story is incredible! If you haven't checked out our first conversation then the links are below!
        You're in for a real treat. A fly on the wall view of a long form conversation between two souls that have a deep connection.
        I am extremely grateful to have Lakshmi in my life.
