This week celebrated comedian, Sophie Garrad from UK, joins me to share how she transformed her past and turned trauma, endometriosis, and big feelings into a one-woman award winning sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show, and garnered over 100M TikTok views online.

We discuss women in comedy, the mind-body connection, therapy, EMDR, and using humour to heal.

We also explore:

* What it's really like being a woman in comedy, safety, and being taken seriously

* How Sophie unlearned male-centred comedy rules to find her own authentic female voice

* The mind-body connection: back pain, acne, stress, and stored trauma

* The role of therapy, EMDR, and journaling in healing and creativity

* Navigating social media, reviews, and competition in a tough industry

* Advice for shy, sensitive, or ambitious creatives who secretly want to perform.

Hi, I'm Wendy K Laidlaw, an author, artist and The Emotionologist®. I'm fascinated by people, purpose and natural approaches to life, and I explore how understanding our emotions can help us live, create and connect more fully.

It's been a while.

After a long pause, I'm finally back behind the microphone.

In this personal episode, I share where I've been, why I stepped away, and what life has been teaching me over the past year.

Although my endometriosis and adenomyosis remain in remission, I found myself navigating an unexpected injury, long COVID, and a season that invited me to slow down, reflect, and realign with what matters most.

During that time, I discovered that healing isn't simply about restoring the body, it's about listening to the messages beneath it.

In this episode I talk about:

• Why I became quieter and what I've learned from the pause.

• My ongoing health journey and why I never lost faith in my body's ability to heal.

• The profound role emotions have played throughout my own recovery.

• Why journaling continues to be one of the most powerful healing tools I know.

• The "If...When...Then" trap (IWT Trap) that quietly keeps so many people waiting to live.

• The evolution of my work beyond endometriosis into the world of The Emotionologist®.

• An exciting introduction to two new communities: The EndoBoss® Club and The Emotionologist® Studio - opening soon.

If you've ever felt life pulling you into a new chapter, even when you weren't ready, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes the greatest transformations don't happen when we're pushing harder.

They happen when we pause long enough to hear what our emotions have been trying to tell us all along.

Thank you for being here, and it's good to be back.

In this powerful conversation, Wendy K Laidlaw sits with mythologist and storyteller Michael Meade, founder of the Mosaic Multicultural Foundation and author of books; Fate and Destiny, The Genius Myth, and Why the World Doesn't End.

For over forty years, Michael has worked with communities in crisis, from prisons to war zones, using the transformative power of myth and story telling to help people rediscover their deeper meaning, identity and purpose.

We explore:

• The difference between fate and destiny • Why crisis can be initiatory • The mythic nature of emotional intensity • How each person carries a unique inner genius • Why the world's instability may be calling us into deeper alignment

If you are a sensitive soul… If you have ever felt "different"… If you sense you are here for something deeper…

Then this conversation will speak directly to you.

As The Emotionologist®, I believe emotional depth is not something to suppress - (think - "what the mind suppresses the body expresses") - more it is something to understand and channel.

Michael Meade's powerful work reminds us that beneath anxiety, upheaval, and cultural noise lies something ancient and powerful; the story of who we are meant to become.

Dr. Joseph Jebelli is a neuroscientist, author, and science communicator celebrated for making complex brain science accessible and deeply human.

His research and writing explore how our brains function beneath the surface revealing that moments of rest, stillness, and daydreaming are NOT signs of laziness but essential states for creativity, emotional health, and high performance.

In this enlightening conversation with Wendy K. Laidlaw, Dr Joe shares how understanding the 'resting brain' can transform how we live, think, and feel, helping us achieve more by doing less.

And that resting the brain may enable you to do more, achieve more yet get more pleasure from life.

• - The discovery of the "default mode network" - the system that becomes most active when the brain is "resting."- Why doing nothing can spark creativity, insight, and emotional regulation.
• - How rest strengthens the connection between body and mind, improving physical and mental performance.
• - The myth of constant productivity and how overactivity drains clarity and decision-making.
• - Why rest and reflection are vital for integrating experiences, forming memories, and finding meaning.
• - Practical ways to invite more brain rest into everyday life, from quiet walks and journaling to mindful pauses between tasks.
• - The neuroscience of intuition; how rest helps the subconscious mind solve problems before we're aware of it.

Dr. Joseph Jebelli reminds us that 'rest' is not an indulgence but a essential way to tap into the brain's SECRET superpower for renewal, creativity, and genuine intelligence.

In this week's Podcast, Wendy K Laidlaw speaks with Dr. Bimbi Fernando, who is a Consultant Transplant Surgeon, Associate Professor at University College London, and the author of his new book called The Forgotten Compass.

From the chaos of the Covid pandemic frontlines, Dr. Bimbi Fernando shares how kindness from others became a surprising compass during those extremely challenging times.

Together, Wendy & Dr Bimbi explore how the global pandemic became a catalyst for emotional reconnection, community appreciation, and a renewed commitment to highlight kindness acts in both medicine and everyday life.

Dr. Fernando reflects on the emotional toll of transplant surgery and the profound ripple effects of organ donation, and how a simple moment (standing with his family on the doorstep during the "Clap for Carers") shifted his worldview forever.

You'll hear about:

• The emotional awakening sparked by the pandemic

• Why kindness is more than a virtue - it's a vital life skill

• Dr Bimbi's Sri Lankan roots and the legacy of generosity in his family

• How self-kindness and imperfection can lead to deeper healing

• His vision for a purposeful retirement and a more compassionate healthcare model

This is a powerful episode for anyone seeking hope, connection, or a reminder that kindness (to yourself first - and then others), is both healing and transformative.

You can learn more and read about Dr Bimbi's book "The Forgotten Compass".

Welcome to the 'Super Sensitive Secret Strength' podcast - an intelligent, empowering and heartfelt space for the intuitively attuned, the emotionally aware, and those who've been told they "feel too much."

In this powerful episode, Wendy K Laidlaw opens up about her journey from emotional suppression to self-trust, and how journaling, biofeedback, creativity, and connection became vital tools in healing major medical conditions like endometriosis, adenomyosis, and many more - naturally!

You will hear more about how:-

• Emotions as messengers, not enemies
• Journaling, meditation & creative practices rewrite the brain and body
• Building biofeedback and neurofeedback trust
• How to explore your sensitivity ways as strengths
• Why highly sensitive people often disassociate or self-reject — but how to reclaim their power
• Creating emotional safety, setting healthy boundaries, and rewriting your subconscious script

So, if you've ever been shamed for feeling too much or too deeply, or if you've tried to numb out to survive, or if your body has started whispering (or indeed shouting/screaming at you) then it's trying to get your attention. That something/someone is wrong or causing you harm...

...and this episode is the start of a gentle call 'back home' to yourself.

Wendy speaks candidly about how embracing your emotional depth and sensitivity is not a weakness - but a secret SUPERPOWER waiting to be explored, protected, nourished, and unleashed.

Whether you're just beginning your emotional healing journey or already guiding others, this is your invitation to reconnect with your innate wisdom within.

Wendy K Laidlaw interviews Lesley Saki – British boxing champion, Olympic contender, and visionary Founder of Fight Forward, a trailblazing social impact enterprise dedicated to supporting and empowering women who are recovering from trauma and domestic abuse.

In this powerful and inspiring conversation, Leslie opens up about her remarkable journey—from achieving a gold medal in the boxing ring to navigating and ultimately overcoming personal experiences of domestic abuse. She shares how her love for boxing not only became a lifeline for her own healing but also evolved into a mission to help other women rediscover their strength, both physically and emotionally.

Lesley also introduces Pillow, her groundbreaking AI-integrated tech platform designed to offer accessible, personalised support for survivors. With heartfelt clarity, she explains how technology, education, and community can combine to break cycles of mistreatment and trauma - one day at a time.

Throughout the interview, Lesley underscores the importance of recognising the many forms abuse can take and encourages women to document their stories, educate themselves, and tap into the healing power of shared experience.

This is a must-listen episode for women who are passionate about resilience, innovation, and the rising wave of empowered women who are reclaiming their voices, bodies and lives.

Why boxing?

Boxing teaches women how to stand tall, move with confidence, and own their power. For many women who have faced abuse, trauma can leave a disconnect from their bodies. Boxing is a powerful tool for rebuilding that connection and taking back control.
