  • Is It Time To Kiss The Mirror? – Paul D. Lowe & Ekta Mahajan

    Paul is joined by Ekta Mahajan to discuss this intriguing title that comes from Ekta’s childhood where she was told that ever time you face adversity or struggle, just look in the mirror and smile and most of your struggles will be resolved.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When you look at yourself in the mirror a different kind of energy exudes, positive vibrations come out that give you a lot of strength, a lot of power and creativity to take on life.
    • Rather than being self-critical, try to identify yourself, try to be self-aware and try to know yourself deeper. Once you know yourself then you can take on and solve any kid of mystery that you may come across.
    • When we talk about self-love, what is love? Love is a pure, divine power which gives your immensely more fuel, it accelerates in whatever direction your want to put it. We all have got 360 degree lives, I want to segregate life into about five areas I’d like to focus: career, family, relationships, social and health. Where I focus that divine energy is the section that will flourish, but our objective is to obtain balance. You only attain that balance when you are self-aware. We only become self-aware when we delve deeper, which we do when are comfortable in our own self and skin. This is important especially for entrepreneurs or those who run their own business.
    • We’re all just a really little speck in this universe. Do we really need to have an ego or anger and jealousy? No. If we can widen our perception and intelligence by just being what we are, I think we can probably drive the road of success.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘My understanding of a smile or a kiss in the mirror is about being kind to yourself.’

    ‘Self-awareness allows you to take the courage to make the right decisions which ultimately result in success.’

    ‘Isn’t it very profound and doesn’t it make you smile when you hear someone loves their own company? That person is comfortable in their own skin.’

    ‘It’s only me that can help myself.’

  • Money Won't Bring My Daughter Back (1) – Paul D. Lowe & Leah Morgan

    Paul is joined by Leah Morgan for the first of a two-pert episode which is a very poignant one. Leah shares some experiences and lessons she’s been through since tragically losing her daughter to Leukemia.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • In 2016 my daughter Maggie-Mae was born with Leukemia, it’s extremely rare to be born with Leukemia – one in five million. Every single day that Maggie had was a miracle and we only had her for 18 months, despite nearly dying so many times in those early days, so the fact she got 18 months was miraculous. She had a fun-filled, joyful life. We were sure she’d survive and have a healthy life ahead of her, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
    • Anyone who is faced with tragic or life-changing circumstances will be able to understand, but even people who haven’t experienced these things will empathise with the fact that the world just stands still and all the things we’re striving towards suddenly become meaningless. That’s really hard to understand unless you’ve been through it. I have a life before Maggie was born and a life after she was born. My life and my perspective of life is unrecognisable.
    • I’ve been presented with a whole new world: the beautiful cycles of nature, the joy that you see in each and every moment. Now a traffic jam isn’t a stressful thing, for me it’s a time to stop and see what’s around me, look out the window and accept that what will be will be. I’m used to surrendering my control and just accepting what life’s given me today. That really changes you.
    • When you’ve been faced wit death and the fact life is a finite experience that can change in a moment, and as a mother trying to keep their child alive, there’s a fearlessness I’m left with. I feel like all those layers of armour that I have built up or that society puts on us, all ego- or fear-based, are burned away and you’re left with pure vulnerability. But in that state is where the power lies.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘In her short life, Maggie-Mae changed everyone she knew, all our lives have been changed unrecognisably.’

    ‘Maggie has taught me the real value of life.’

    ‘It’s really interesting when you just stop and realise how swept up in the rat race we all are.’

    ‘Of course, money brings opportunities, but even more important than the money is the focus on your life’s dharma – life’s purpose.’

  • Relationships: Expectations vs Agreements – with Bob Conlin

    On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time about experiences in relationships that can support us or create more conflict and challenges for us: The notion of having expectations in relationships versus agreements.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • We all have expectations and these thoughts and feeling of how it should go, how our feeling and thoughts of relationships should play out. Notice that word: “should”.
    • We want to expect certain things in our lives and relationships but when we use those expectations as traps or barriers or ways to not get our needs met then we run into trouble and problems. An expectation is simply a strong belief that something will or should happen in the future, and that we will or should experience it. When this becomes an issue is when these expectations don’t get communicated, they can be a very one-sided thought/feeling/conversation with yourself that doesn’t get communicated to the other, or is not communicated in a way that the people we’re in relationship with can hear it or support you with it.
    • If we can move out of expectation and into agreement we’re in a much better place to get our needs met. It’s less mindreading and more partnership, which is the goal for so many relationships, it’s getting into a stronger, more connected partnership in all aspects and areas of life.
    • What do you notice about the expectations that you place on yourself, your romantic partner, your family members, etc. Look at how it’s working out, how are you left feeling, how are they left feeling, what is their experience of you, what is your experience of yourself, are these expectations actually working for you? Then look at what if you created agreements inside you’re your relationships. How do we want to love each other, how do we want to co-parent, how do we want to move this organisation together, how do we want to focus on this goal. It becomes very much as ‘we’ conversation and an opportunity to achieve what you wish to achieve.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘When we create agreements in relationships it creates much more harmony and balance and connectedness versus having expectations.’

    ‘My first default response to “do you need anything?” is “nothing, I’m fine”. don’t know why I’m like that or where I learned it. It gets me in trouble and then I get upset.’

    ‘Expectations are traps that we place for our partners. They are a way that we don’t get our needs met or get them met in the wrong way.’

    ‘Agreement is harmony in how we feel, what we need, it’s both of us coming together to agree on something so both individuals can take an appropriate course of action, whatever that may be.’

  • Good Health Being True Wealth, Isn't Just A Cliche - Paul D. Lowe & Katy Viguier

    On this episode, Paul is joined by returning guest Katy Viguier to talk about the cliché of whether good health really is true wealth.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Health is something a lot of people take for granted and we only realise how important it is when you haven’t got it.
    • We make bad decisions when we’re tired. Some people beat themselves up about it, but it’s really your body going into survival mode and the hormones getting balanced and you get the urge to have bad food.
    • From experience I can see how much help a coach can bring. If I’d known the benefits earlier, I’d have gotten one when I was younger. More and more people are finding this way of getting help and there are more coaches since the pandemic as well.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Good health is wellness: What you eat, what you drink, how you sleep, how you think, how you move, how you relax. It’s not just one thing, it’s a whole topic of wellness.’

    ‘Confusion around dieting culture is there from a commercial point of view, you just need to go back to basics and forget fad diets.’

    ‘Every action you make starts with a thought, everything you do starts with the mind. Don’t wait to start, there’s no perfect time to start.’

  • ABOUT THE GUEST

    Katy was born in Switzerland, raised in France and now lives in the south-west of England with her husband-to-be Drew, and her two wonderful sons Thomas and Alex, who are now young men – they are both her pride and joy. She is hugely passionate about everything that is health & wellness and learning about self-care. As a single mum for over 10 years – something that was not on the agenda – Katy still considers herself a work-in-progress…but who isn’t?

    With her boys growing up and being more independent, Katy started to revalue her life and recently embarked on a healing journey from past traumatic experiences, as well as learning and taking time on improving herself in all aspects of life.

    Katy is a great believer that life is about learning from our own experiences and growing from them to become the best version of ourselves. Through this transformation, she is hoping to inspire, motivate, inform and especially help people on the way.

    She is currently training to be a life coach and on the back of this, enrolled in a health coaching & nutritional therapy course, at the age of 49.

    In the words of Mel Robbins: ‘You can reinvent yourself whenever you want’

  • Things You Don't Want To Talk About – Paul D. Lowe & Jenn Junod

    On this episode, Paul in joined by Jenn Junod to talk about the things people don’t want to talk about, of which (dark and colourful), Jenn has  an abundance of experience with in her background including abuse (physical, emotional and sexual), depression and anxiety.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • My trauma stemming from physical, emotional an sexual abuse, which started as a kid, lasted in to my 20s. I wanted to give up on everything but I was able to start surrounding myself with a different crowd of humans that invited me to self-development courses and that started to change the trajectory of my life.
    • People had no idea that I went through these things because I was ten times more bubbly and wanting people to like me, so they never imagined I went through anything. I’d also try to buy my friends because I couldn’t conceive how anybody would want to be my friend because at the time I had no self-worth because of all the emotional abuse I went through, being told I was unworthy. The coping methods we come up with to get through these things doesn't always help us as adults.
    • I never learned boundaries, so I never knew that someone was taking advantage of me because I was a people pleaser. I wanted to buy my friendships and do anything for my friendships because I felt unloved. That attracted people that would take advantage of me. I didn’t understand the dynamics of relationships, I thought that if I was being treated well it was boring and that meant I wasn’t in the right relationship because there was no controversy or tension. It’s almost as if we don’t know better, therefore we attract it without meaning to. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel of working through that and finding and attracting better.
    • My career coach had me write out columns of everything I liked and disliked about my job and what I was and wasn’t looking for in a new job. He helped me look at all of my negatives to see where they aligned with my positives and how to change all of the negatives into positives so I knew what to look for rather than what not to look for. This mindset changed the things that I was attracted to.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘There’s no hierarchy to trauma, everybody’s is very very different, no one wins at trauma, it’s not a competition.’

    ‘I was a serial monogamist. I went from relationship to relationship to relationship because I felt that if I was alone I would always be alone.’

    ‘Becoming stronger in a video game made me strong enough to get a divorce, to be able to work on myself and not just put everything into others.’

    ‘Now when my partner (who I love) fights, I realise I’m not fighting with him, I’m fighting with an emotion that happened when I was 15 or 8 that I never learned how to get through.’

    ABOUT THE GUEST

    Jenn has a story of her own. As a child, she suffered solitary confinement, physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, rape, divorce, abortion, cutting, and suicide attempts. Her turbulent background has forged a path to help those who are suffering, ignored and silenced. Sh!t You Don’t Want to Talk About is a place people can come to find hope and healing, to know they are not alone, and to finally be heard. 

    Clearly, Jenn’s been through plenty of sh!t most people probably don’t want to even acknowledge, let alone talk about. She thought she’d dealt with her past, but brain surgery in November 2020 unleashed a tsunami of memories that couldn’t be ignored. Working through trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar type 2, and ADHD will be a lifelong journey. Jenn strives to break the stigma of Sh!t You Don't Talk About and turn it into Sh!t 2 Talk About.

  • What Relationship Did I Sign Up For? – Bob Conlin & Kev Bailey

    On this episode guest host Bob Conlin is joined by guest Kev Bailey – a kinesiologist, crystal healer, spiritual healer and shamanic healer – to talk about our relationship with everything and the lessons learned from past romantic relationships.

    Kev’s website: https://www.theuncommonheartfelttouch.com/ 

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • I definitely do believe we’re related to everything, and even little things that we do and thoughts we put out there the whole universe has to shift to consolidate whatever it is you’re thinking about or have done. 
    • Somebody said to me recently that I was coming to a fork in the road and that I’d have to make the correct choice and go with my heart. My girlfriend made the choice for me and, as hard as that was, you just have to accept and let it go because, at the end of the day, if it wasn’t working out for her and she decided to end it there’s no point trying to force things. You do get a bit upset, it’s like grief really, you’ve had a relationship for 6 years, but once you get over that grief point and you sit and reflect about your part in your downfall and you realise what they are and the lessons, hopefully you can take the other fork which is taking you in the right direction, wherever that may lead. Hopefully, the next time you get in a relationship you’re a bit older and wiser and you might not stuff-up the same way you did in the last one.
    • It’s amazing what our brains do to our bodies and how they mess us up by holding on to trauma. That’s why you get people with addictions to food, gambling, alcohol and drugs. They can’t deal with their emotions so most of the time they’re trying to escape and that’s their way to do it. Self-harm, anorexia and bulimia are the same sort of thing. But when you release the triggers for those addictions then technically those addictions should go away.
    • When I self-heal, I go into a meditative state and have a look at my life, where the regrets and mistakes or lessons are, and work things through and forgive and apologise – if you can’t do it to the person in-person, you can do it energetically. Sometimes you don’t even realise what it is that’s messed you up, that’s when you have to go to somebody external and hopefully they give you what’s going on.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It’s all about going with the flow and I’m open to whatever possibilities that the universe puts in my direction.’

    ‘For the last 20 years I’ve been waking up. Before that I was a complete and utter muggle, I was into the money and the cars, big job, big house, all the materialistic rubbish.’

    ‘I was asked by my ex-girlfriend that if spirit told me to do something and she didn’t want me to do it, would I still do it? I said: “I’m sorry, but at the end of the day, I’m committed to spirit. You can come along for the journey should you wish, but if you don’t wish then you’ve got free will that’s your choice. It’s like being in the army, if the army tells you to do it you do it, no matter what the wife says. If you’re going to get into this properly you have to talk the talk and also walk it.’

    ‘People that are in control don’t want us connecting to source and the universe because they want to control us and as soon as we do that they’ve lost control. So, we’re programmed and corrupted to believe what they’re telling us, if we allow it, rather than connecting directly to the source.’

  • What On Earth Has Love Got To Do With It? – Paul D. Lowe & Mary Pagano

    On this episode, Paul in joined by Mary Pagano. They start off with no plan of what they were going to talk about but eventually cover topics including prioritising play in life, relationship goals, how close we all are and should be, the power of the mind and much more.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • When I was a child all I could think about was hurry up with dinner because I wanted to play. I’ve been put on this planet to play and I get side-tracked with work and things that really aren’t that important, but play and having fun is all we really want to do. Don’t get so wrapped up with the other stuff, just do the minimum so you can pay your bills and put food on the table, we came down here to have a good time with our siblings of humanity.
    • I didn’t really enjoy being married. He wasn’t evil, but there was no respect. I really enjoy my freedom now, when I talk about my wish list, things I want to do or that are important to me, a relationship never comes up. I sacrificed so much of who I was, I was basically as asset to the relationship. I didn’t have any dreams I just sustained. I now get to meet so many people and travel all over the world having impact on women’s and children’s lives, which was a goal I set in 2000 after my divorce.
    • Love transcends everything, just smiling at a stranger can make their day because it’s a loving gesture. We can sometimes find out the we’re connected to a total stranger too, it’s mindboggling sometimes. We’re all related. But we’re our own worst enemy, we don’t manage our mind very well, we say bad stuff about ourselves and other people that creates hate, anger and hostility. If we started to treat ourselves with respect and we had positive thoughts about things we wanted to do and people we wanted to be with then you rewire your brain to think more positively.
    • It still blows my mind that we have race issues. It’s so stupid on so many levels. The two words I hate the most is ‘minority’ and ‘refugee’, so I came up with a grand plan: Get every religion, nationality, gender, race bring them all together and build homes for all the refugees. The refugees would be refugees anymore because they have a home and there wouldn’t be any minorities because everybody worked together.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We are so programmed to be productive, but there’s real power and joy in the power of now.’

    ‘You can’t make a relationship into something it’s not, that won’t work out for either party Being good friends is most important and then see where that takes you.’

    ‘The time is now, the world has to change and education is a huge piece of it and I’m going to do whatever I can to make a dent before I slide into home plate.’

    ‘Self-love is the biggest, most unconditional love you can have in the world. I also think you can get a lot of unconditional love from pets, but it’s really hard to get it from another human being.’

  • Barriers to Love – Paul D. Lowe & Bob Conlin

    On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time he opens up after his last episode about the quote from Rumi, and he shares some personal awareness’s about who he is in relationships to see if it generates any awareness for you.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • I went to a retreat in May, which happened to be on Mother’s Day weekend and also happened to be my birthday. I went into the retreat with the intention of really healing my internal child, who I am in relationships and finding where are some of these barriers within myself that I’ve built against love. The biggest ‘a-ha’ I got was around who I am being when it comes to the relationship that my wife and son have with each other – that I could never completely understand that.
    • My wife’s body fed and nurtured my son, not just inside the womb but after he was born. Being his father, I could never comprehend those experiences. We have different experiences. But, there’s a bond there that exists but is different in the relationship I have with my son, I relate to the relationship that they have, which is more biological/spiritual/cosmic. I noticed I was having a hard time dealing with that love that they have for each other, that maternal relationship.
    • My background is in critical care nursing, I was trained in science, I’m a very heart-led, spiritual person, but I also have a very solid analytical, logistical, scientific mind. My wife and I started having differences or disagreements around how we wee going to care for our child, especially – and almost solely – when he was ill or sick. Children in day-care a sick a lot. Her philosophy and how she wants to treat the child is different from mine and I was noticing it was creating conflict. What I was doing was making my wife wrong, my thoughts were more right, she was making things harder and I was here to make things easier. What I got ion this awareness I had during this meditation was that this was a way I was creating a barrier to love – either to witnessing love or receiving love.
    • A lot of things I can’t comprehend, I want to build a wall against or make it wrong, let them know it’s wrong and push up against it and fight it because I can’t understand it so it must be wrong – which is totally false! The big a-ha is that I don’t have to understand it or get it always, but I can try, I can be more empathetic to it. The opportunity for me is to notice what comes up form me, to name it, to call it out and say “Bob, this is just a barrier that you’re putting up to either not understand their love or not allow love to be received by you.” I don’t understand it but I can try, I don’t have to put a wall up and be ‘right’. Just breathe, take inventory of what’s happening in the moment, give myself some grace and empathy if I’m triggered by something or upset, I get to watch, acknowledge and be with the love that is happening between my wife and son, and ultimately the love that’s happening all around us.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘As his father I have an incredible relationship with my son, he’s my everything, but the relationship he has with my wife – he was literally created inside my wife and came out of her body.’

    ‘My wife literally created a being, a spirit, a soul in her body – or the spirit or soul came into her body to inhabit my child.’

    ‘I can never comprehend the love she has for this child. It’s not that it’s better than mine or that I’m less than, it’s just different.’

    ‘My wife says that why he hurts she feels it, when he gets sick, she feels sick. There’s a deep, deep connection there that’s different from the deep, deep connection I have.’

  • The Power & Vulnerability Of Being A Soulful Leader – Paul D. Lowe & Katy Viguier

    On this episode, Paul is joined by first-time guest Katy Viguier. The pair talk around the subject that Paul has begun focusing on of late: soulful leadership and what it means to Katy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • I was a single mum for 10 years in a country with no family here, working two jobs. It was very challenging, I couldn’t think of myself, my children came first, they were the reason I woke up, went to work, everything was for them. I gave love and passion to them that I didn’t have for myself, the one thing I did keep hold of for myself was self-respect. 
    • We all struggle in life, but there’s always a reason for why people do and feel things. You have to understand your deeper self. Learning and self-discovery never stops until our last breath. The beauty of it is that you can start at any age
    • As soulful leaders, we all want to help and make the planet a better place, if you meet somebody you want to leave them feeling better about themselves. Do something every day or every week that makes you happy to live by your values.
    • We tend to think of vulnerability as a weakness. For years I wouldn’t talk to people about my life or my inner thoughts, even with my best friends as a teenager. You worry that you’re going to get hurt or be judged. You have to find a person that you feel comfortable enough with to be vulnerable. It's not always an easy place to be, you feel very exposed when you’re being vulnerable, but there is healing in vulnerability.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I’ve always given more to other people than I have myself.’

    ‘I’ve done the best with what I’ve had for my children. Talking to them during the last couple of years I know now I’ve done more than enough and they’re very well-balanced people who are doing very well.’

    ‘Happiness is different for different people. For me, it’s feeling content in your life and at peace and leading your life with intention.’

    ‘Love definitely keeps my world going. I probably wouldn’t be here without my children, their love kept me going, and without self love I wouldn’t have found the inner peace I have now.’

  • ABOUT THE GUEST

    Katy was born in Switzerland, raised in France and now lives in the south-west of England with her husband-to-be Drew, and her two wonderful sons Thomas and Alex, who are now young men – they are both her pride and joy. She is hugely passionate about everything that is health & wellness and learning about self-care. As a single mum for over 10 years – something that was not on the agenda – Katy still considers herself a work-in-progress…but who isn’t?

    With her boys growing up and being more independent, Katy started to revalue her life and recently embarked on a healing journey from past traumatic experiences, as well as learning and taking time on improving herself in all aspects of life.

    Katy is a great believer that life is about learning from our own experiences and growing from them to become the best version of ourselves. Through this transformation, she is hoping to inspire, motivate, inform and especially help people on the way.

    She is currently training to be a life coach and on the back of this, enrolled in a health coaching & nutritional therapy course, at the age of 49.

    In the words of Mel Robbins: ‘You can reinvent yourself whenever you want’

  • My Favourite Quote About Love – Paul D. Lowe & Bob Conlin

    On this episode guest host Bob Conlin presents another of his relationship episodes, this time about his favourite quote about love and barriers to love which is very popular and often misrepresented because of the last piece being left off.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” This is the part that is often left out and without it it misses out on a huge, essential part of Rumi’s teaching: “and embrace them.”
    • The quote is by Rumi, a 13th century Persian poet, Islamic scholar, Sufi mystic and a brilliant force on the planet. He has many quotes about many things, but his quotes around love and relationships I find so impactful.
    • I can look and see through my whole life, even as a young child, where I was when I began to start to build the barriers myself against love. Usually, those barriers were created as a result of feeling the need to protect myself, to build a wall around me, to decrease the amount of vulnerability I was going to offer to anyone and ultimately if it’s not love it’s fear. I was creating these barriers based on fear which for me was “what am I not going to get?” or “what are you going to take away from me?” When are you going to stop loving me?” or “when are you going to leave me?” 
    • The notion of embracing these barriers that we have for love is going to require some work on your part to work through some of your fear, your shadow elements, some of the resistance you notice might come up. It goes against a lot of our conditioning, from this sphere- based space, to embrace these challenges within ourselves.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘The impact this quote has had on my life has been astounding, mind-blowing. When I first read it it was one of those times where you sink into your whole body and you feel the energy shift down, knocking you off your seat moment.’

    ‘Where am I not letting love in because of these barriers? I needed to take down these barriers in order to let love in.’

    ‘Where am I building barriers against myself to love myself? Am I treating my mind, body and soul in a loving way?’

    ‘Why do I have these barriers? How are these barriers actually serving me? How are these barriers limiting my capacity to be with love? How are these barriers actually keeping me away from the thing(s) I’m yearning for everywhere in my life: A deeper sense of sharing and receiving love and also giving it?’
