In this episode, we are joined by entrepreneur and wealth enthusiast Jason Graystone, who passionately explains why financial stability is a crucial component of overall health and wellbeing.

In this episode my friend shares her remarkable story. Fiona is a corporate coach, actor, writer and mindfulness teacher. Her life changed dramatically in 2015 after the birth of her first child, when she suffered from a rare mental illness, post partum psychosis, and attempted to take her own life. After weeks on a trauma ward for injuries to her back, months on a mother and baby unit and a year of recovery, she decided to use her experience to support others and now works in perinatal mental health as a peer support worker, has her own corporate coaching company, writes for the screen with her writing partner Nuala Calvi, who she met at a group for women who were struggling with motherhood, and teaches Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. She is a strong believer that not only can you recover from mental health problems, you can be strengthened by them. She went on to have a second child in 2018, which was not without problems, but she avoided the 1 in 2 chance of becoming unwell with PP again, helped greatly by her meditation practice.

| 16 Aug 2022 | How To Want What's Good For Us - Luke Burgis | 01:02:14 | |
In this conversation we dive deep into why people want what they want. Luke explains that It’s all based on the notion that, in the end, we will either be masters or slaves of our desires and that we can choose the outcome. True freedom is the freedom to want what is best for ourselves and for others. Luke was at a point in his life where he had all the trappings of external success but felt he was on autopilot. Just wanting what everyone else wants not what he truly wanted. When the biggest business deal of his life fell through, he weirdly felt a sense of relief. He went on to study human behaviour and how mimetic desire works. This ultimately set him free and on to a path of real meaning.

| 14 Sep 2021 | What Makes us Happy with Professor Paul Dolan | 00:51:53 | |
What really makes us happy? Is it a big house, lots of money, marriage and children? Not necessarily. Yet so many of us base what we do upon the ‘stories’ we tell ourselves of what we think should make us happy without paying attention to whether these things actually do make us happy day-to-day. Our Guest on this weeks episode is Professor Paul Dolan, a behavioural scientist and author of the bestselling books Happy Ever After: A Radical New approach To Living Well and Happiness By Design: Finding Pleasure and Purpose in Everyday Life. He believes that happiness is in the small stuff, in our daily routines, it's actually not that complicated. We were mesmerised by his wit and insights! We discover happiness simply lies in what we choose to pay our attention to and what we choose to ignore. We explore societies, stories and narratives and how they may push us to chase career paths that might actually be bad for us.

| 14 Sep 2021 | Our story - from sickness to health | 00:10:11 | |
This week we talk candidly about how we went from beer swinging lushes to tee total vegans. In 2011 Sharon was struck down by a rare autoimmune disease, Dermatomyositis a rare skin and muscle disease that left her practically in a wheelchair. She was put on a concoction of medicines and was told to accept her “new normal.” There was no cure, but they told her they could manage the disease through drugs. After losing most of hair, little improvement on her muscles and a very extreme skin rash, she went on a mission to find another way. We discuss the highs and lows of trying to get well at a time where my husband had just left me and we were struggling with small kids. We decided to turn our backs on the bottle of red to cope and turned to wheatgrass and turmeric shots and we’ve never looked back.

| 10 Oct 2024 | Breaking Barriers: Anthony Bryan's Journey from Childhood Disability to World Record Holder | 00:48:57 | |
In this episode, we are joined by Anthony Bryan, who defied the odds after being told he may never walk again following surgery to remove a brain tumor as a child. Anthony shares his inspiring story of resilience, determination, and the relentless pursuit of his goals, culminating in his world record achievement at the London Marathon. Anthony opens up about the struggles he faced during childhood due to his disability, recounting how he felt isolated and self-conscious as he watched his friends play while he was kept inside. He shares how these challenges made him wish he hadn’t survived the surgery, a stark reflection of the emotional toll it took on him. Anthony then shifts to how sport became a lifeline, helping him gain confidence and self-belief, and how he found a sense of pride and accomplishment in proving his doctors wrong. One of the highlights of this episode is Anthony’s detailed account of how he achieved the world record at the London Marathon, pushing through physical and mental barriers to make history. We discuss the role of mindset in overcoming adversity, the importance of embracing challenges rather than dwelling on "what-if" scenarios, and the tactics Anthony uses to maintain a positive outlook. Anthony also shares insights on the key to achieving extraordinary things, the importance of resilience, and how rejection can make us stronger. This episode is a powerful reminder of the incredible potential within each of us and the importance of never giving up, no matter the odds.

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Martien Limburg, a leading vascular epidemiologist, to explore the profound impact of lifestyle on our health. Martien shares his personal journey from conventional medicine to discovering the life-changing benefits of a whole food plant-based diet. He explains how this shift helped him shed excess weight, lower his cholesterol, and even come off statins. With his expertise, we dive into why a plant-based diet isn’t just a trend, but a powerful tool for disease prevention. Martien debunks popular diet myths, including the rise of keto and carnivore diets, and explains why they may provide short-term results but could shorten your lifespan in the long run. We also discuss the common misconceptions that vegans don’t get enough vitamin B12 or protein, with Dr. Limburg explaining why supplementing directly is often the smarter choice for everyone. He also highlights the connection between lifestyle choices, nutrition, and cognitive health, emphasising how dementia prevention starts with what’s on our plates. Finally, Martien tackles the stereotypes surrounding veganism, exploring why plant-based living often carries negative connotations and why American vegans tend to be healthier than their British counterparts.
