Recent ‘terror' attacks in the UK (and ongoing ones around the world) have brought fear and nervousness to the masses once again. A listener who lives in London messaged us asking if we could discuss how to remain calm and unafraid at times like this. A great idea, we though…

The end of a relationship isn't much fun, particularly if it was completely unexpected. It's a time of deep reflection, and one when reassessment of our lives is needed. Let's see what Sean and Ed have to say…

A listener sent us a message wondering why he seemed to crave validation. The issue stemmed, he thought, from childhood but has developed into more of an issue later in life. It got Sean and Ed to thinking so they sat down to talk about the subject of recognition and validation.

There is overwhelming evidence that when we move our bodies we also feed our mind and give extra support to our brain. Can moderate exercise add up to a happy mind? What else can a good walk teach us?

Wouldn't it be great if we lived here? Wouldn't my life be perfect if I was with that person? Yep, the grass is always greener folks. Or is it? Why do we crave what we don't have? Is it healthy or should we be looking for contentment with what we have?

You might not think it so, but Margaret Thatcher was one of the most effective seductresses of our times. No, seriously! Seduction goes much deeper than just physical attraction so we thought we'd have a chat about just that this week…

Our attitudes are not often something we think about. They are how they are – we've had them for years and we do things without thinking. But take a look in the mirror every now and then and you may find that some are unhealthy and damaging us, so how did we get them and how can we move on? Attitude alignment folks! It's big!
