Why Do I Do This? with Johnny Lawrence

Today I’ll be chatting with Paul Thompson. Paul is a certified life coach who specialises in helping men of all ages and backgrounds cope with their challenges.

He coaches his clients in a way that utilises both their heads and their hearts.

He first learned about coaching when he hit a roadblock in his own life and was struggling to move past it.

His techniques were so successful that his friends and Instagram followers began asking him for help with their challenges.

This motivated him to turn his newfound passion into a full-time career.

Paul has helped countless people overcome their challenges and today I hope to discover what he’s learned along the way.

Highlights:

• Strategies for challenging times
• Tools for common challenges
• Head and heart coaching style
• The importance of vulnerability

Today I’ll be chatting with Dana Chapman.

Dana is a qualified nutritional therapist and neuro-linguistic programming practitioner and her approach to depression, anxiety, burnout, brain fog, and a lack of gusto make her truly unique.

Dana believes that it’s only when you truly understand how the brain and the body, work that you can take control of your mental health. She aims to empower people by providing them with an understanding of how your brain and body work and get answers to why you’re feeling low, anxious and withdrawn, and why you have no energy.

At that point, she can help overcome these feelings using food, movement, sleep, stress management, supplementation and more. Dana’s education and experience have proven that there’s so much you can do to feel your very best and achieve a clearer mind, long-lasting energy, and freedom from the cloud of depression or choke of anxiety that is common in today's society.

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with author, podcaster, YouTuber and anxiety specialist, Dennis Simsek.

Dennis is widely known as The Anxiety Guy and had tried all the anxiety cures he could find to overcome his challenges with anxiety.

However, generalised anxiety turned to panic disorder and panic disorder turned to health anxiety and it wasn’t long until he decided to take matters into his own hands.

It was then that he took all that he had learned about anxiety and used it to reverse negative thinking patterns, reframe his childhood trauma and steer himself towards inner peace and now he uses these insights to help others do the same.

He’s the creator of the End The Anxiety Program, author of Me Vs Myself, F**k Coping Start Healing and Beyond Anxiety.

Dennis is also the host of ‘The Anxiety Guy Podcast’ which has over 4 million downloads and he also offers the anxiety guy YouTube channel that has over 10 million verified views.

Highlights:

• A clear definition of anxiety and its causes
• What people can do to overcome anxiety
• The relationship between anxiety and trauma, belief systems and learned behaviour
• How anxiety can develop feelings of being unsafe and a lack of self-trust
• Overthinking

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with nutrition and intuitive eating practitioner, Rose White.

Rose is the co-founder of, the not for profit organisation, Reframe Club and is the co-host of the Reframe Podcast.

She loves to write and believes that everyone deserves to be at peace with food.

Rose is a good friend and her knowledge and experience during these types of conversations consistently have a profound impact.

The way in which Rose is able to explain very complex psychological theories and make them feel understandable and actionable is remarkable.

This episode is mindblowing as we move between many topics all relating to each other but all equally being separate topics with clear mythology towards their approaches.

Highlights:

• A clear definition of intuitive eating
• Why do people develop eating disorders
• The mind and body connection
• Intellectualising trauma and bodywork
• Guidance for difficult relationships with food
• Yo-yo dieting and labelling food good or bad

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with that meditation guy, Jimmy Wightman.

Jimmy’s meditation journey started because his enjoyment of life was crippled by insomnia, and he’d heard that meditation could help with that.

He'd already tried mindfulness courses and guided meditation books and CDs, but nothing had brought him to the deep place of stillness and silence that he'd heard about.

Jimmy found what he was looking for in the ancient Vedic meditation tradition, and shortly after, he slept like a baby.

He now teaches busy people the most powerful technique he knows for connecting to deep inner silence and stillness.

This episode is amazing as Jimmy has a calming manner that is beautiful to listen to and offers stacks of value on how to get started with meditation.

Highlights:

• How focussing on the breath isn't the only option for meditation practice
• How meditation can improve sleep and increase energy
• The science of meditation
• How meditation can help with trauma or addiction recovery
• How meditation can increase happiness in a person’s life

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with stage hypnotist and human psychology enthusiast, Rob Temple.

Rob is passionate about what makes us think, act, feel and behave the way that we do.

He's not a psychologist, a scientist, a life coach or an academic. He hasn't got a degree, hasn't written a single book and doesn't ‘treat' clients.

But, over an 18+ year career as an entertainer, he's hypnotised over 20,000+ people around the world and has uncovered the real ‘in-the-field' magic behind our thoughts, emotions and mindset.

Rob is on a mission to help regular people just like him understand how a single idea, planted like a seed into our mind, can grow and flourish into something powerful, to change your life and become the very best version of yourself?

Highlights:

• How does hypnotism work?
• How can it improve someone's life?
• Transforming thoughts
• Creating fulfilment
