Johnny Nelson MBE is a living testament to resilience and transformation. 

Born in Sheffield and raised by a single mother and then his step-dad (who he calls his dad), Johnny's path was anything but certain. 

He struggled in school and faced early setbacks, and a lot of losses - with his first three professional boxing matches ending in defeat. 

But Johnny’s spirit was unbreakable. Mentored by the legendary Brendan Ingle, who had a profound impact on Johnny, he took those losses and turned them into fuel for a comeback like no other. 

He went from being an underdog to becoming one of the most celebrated cruiserweight champions of all time.

In 1999, Johnny clinched his place in boxing history, capturing the WBO cruiserweight title and defending it a staggering 13 times over six years. 

But his story isn’t just about championships and records; it’s about overcoming inner battles. Behind his fierce determination in the ring was a man fighting through self-doubt, the weight of public criticism, and the scars of childhood

Today, Johnny has channeled his experiences into helping others. As a Sky Sports boxing analyst, he brings insight to millions of fans, while his work with charities like MIND and his mentorship for young people and inmates demonstrate his heart for giving back. 

Johnny Nelson’s life…one of courage, triumph, and unbreakable will…speaks volumes, and on this episode of The New Mind Podcast, he shares the story that will feed your soul and your mind!

High stress and burnout is all-too-common in the modern workplace.

In this episode of The New Mind Podcast, I sit down with Adam Kelwick, a British Muslim Imam and humanitarian aid worker known for his efforts in representing the British Muslim community, inter-faith work and his tireless advocacy for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.

This conversation wasn’t about controversy or debate - it was about curiosity. 

I wanted to approach the topics surrounding Islam with openness, allowing space for understanding rather than assumption. 

Adam was incredibly kind, patient, and generous in sharing his insights, offering a perspective rooted in both lived experience and deep compassion.

There are subjects that, for many, evoke strong opinions or preconceptions. 

Instead of shying away from them, I aimed to explore them with a genuine desire to listen and learn. 

This is not a clickbait episode…it’s a space for thoughtful dialogue, an opportunity to step beyond what we think we know and into a conversation that is human, honest, and deeply relevant.

For decades, weight loss and diet products have been marketed as the ultimate solution to problems with food and body image. However, research and evidence have shown that the diet industry often exacerbates these issues instead of alleviating them.

Laura is an advocate for helping individuals ditch the yo-yo fad diets and instead create sustainable and lifelong results, while building a strong body and bulletproof confidence. We’ll be discussing how we can reframe our thinking around diets and fitness to promote a healthier relationship with our bodies and food.

Join me as I dive into Ben Hatchett's incredible journey from Broadmoor to the world of bare knuckle fighting, and see if I can uncover what really drove him to redemption!

Ben Hatchett's story is one that will leave you speechless – a tale of transformation that takes him from the notorious Broadmoor Hospital to the brutal world of bare knuckle fighting.

Growing up, Ben faced immense challenges that would shape his path and ultimately lead him to the infamous Broadmoor. With a tough upbringing and a string of poor life choices, Ben found himself trapped in a downward spiral of crime and violence. His time in Broadmoor was marked by struggles with mental health, constant violence, and a sense of hopelessness that seemed inescapable. The harsh realities of life inside those walls took a toll on Ben, pushing him to his limits and testing his resolve. Despite the darkness that surrounded him, Ben held on to a glimmer of hope – the hope that one day he would break free from the cycle of violence and forge a new path.

Ben's road to Broadmoor was paved with mistakes and missteps. A series of poor choices led to a life of crime, and eventually, he found himself behind bars, staring at the cold, unforgiving walls of Broadmoor. Life inside was brutal – the constant noise, the aggression, and the feeling of being trapped with no escape. Ben's experiences in Broadmoor were a far cry from the life he had envisioned for himself, yet it was in those darkest of moments that he began to search for a way out. The journey towards redemption was long and arduous, but Ben was determined to find a new sense of purpose.

During his time in Broadmoor, Ben faced numerous challenges that threatened to consume him. The environment was toxic, and the stakes were high – one wrong move could mean disaster. Yet, amidst the chaos, Ben discovered a spark within himself – a spark that would eventually fuel his journey towards redemption. It was a tough road, fraught with setbacks and failures, but Ben persevered, driven by an unrelenting desire to change. The days turned into weeks, the weeks into months, and slowly but surely, Ben began to see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

A pivotal moment in Ben's journey came when he stumbled upon fighting as a means of release. The rush of adrenaline, the physical exhaustion, and the mental focus required to push himself to the limit – it was exactly what he needed to cope with the demons of his past. For the first time in his life, Ben felt like he had found a sense of purpose, a reason to keep pushing forward.

Ben's journey towards redemption was far from easy, but it was a defining moment that marked a significant shift in his approach to life. He realized that he had two choices – to continue down the path of destruction or to use his experiences as a catalyst for change. The decision to pursue fighting as a means of redemption was not an easy one, but it was one that would ultimately set him free.

Ben's story is one of redemption, of resilience, and of the human capacity to change. From the darkest depths of Broadmoor to the brutal world of bare knuckle fighting, Ben's journey is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Take a moment to reflect on his incredible story and share your thoughts in the comments below. If you're looking for more inspiring stories of redemption, be sure to check out our next video, where we'll dive into another astonishing tale of transformation.

Ella McCrystal, host of The New Mind Podcast, known for its commitment to addressing crucial societal issues, is honoured to host Jax Feeley and provide a platform to amplify his message.

In this thought-provoking episode, Jax Feeley, a respected voice in the fight for transgender rights, shares his personal experiences and expertise on the challenges that transgender people encounter. The discussion delves into various aspects, including discrimination, healthcare disparities and mental health issues, shedding light on the ongoing struggle for equal rights and acceptance.

About Jax Feeley: Jax Feeley is a passionate advocate for transgender rights and is dedicating his life to raising awareness about the challenges and discrimination faced by transgender individuals. He is an inspiring voice in the fight for equality.

This podcast episode was a last minute arranged because of the Conservative Party’s comments this week (5/10/23).

Reference: https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/10/06/rishi-sunak-transphobic-comments-conservative-conference/ 

“In an interview after the conference at the Meeting of the European Political Community on Thursday (5 October) in Granada, Spain, the prime minister was asked by a reporter: “Do you in any way regret saying ‘a man is a man’ and a ‘woman is a woman’?” Sunak responded abruptly: “No, I think a man is a man and a woman is a woman, I think most people watching this program will think that that’s common sense and that’s just a fact of biology.

“Now, of course, this is always going to be passionate, tolerant country. That’s how we always are but we can’t ignore fundamental facts of biology and saying those things shouldn’t be controversial.”

He then reiterates that most people will think it’s “just common sense”.

This isn’t the first time Sunak has attacked the trans community during his premiership.

Earlier this year he was caught on camera making jokes at the expense of trans people, laughing about “women having penises” and mocking Lib Dem leader Ed Davey for supporting trans rights.

Conservative Party members have followed suit, with health secretary Steve Barclay stating is his intention to ban transgender women from women’s hospital wards – despite UK research showing there has not been a single complaint about cis and trans women sharing wards.

Barclay’s pledge was supported by home secretary Suella Braverman, who told Sky News that “trans women have no place in women’s wards”.

Braverman has also recently attacked UK police for engaging with the queer community at Pride events, claimed migrants lie about being gay to enter the country and stated that LGBTQ+ refugees facing persecution in their home countries is not “sufficient” to claim asylum in the UK.

Trans lives have also become a punchline for backbench Tory MPs in the House of Commons.”

This episode of The New Mind featuring George Roberts is both compelling and revealing. George, known for his appearance on "Married at First Sight" Season 7, shares his remarkable journey of resilience following a challenging year marked by allegations of abuse, public scrutiny, and personal limitations. In this extraordinary episode, Ella McCrystal engages in a profound conversation with George Roberts, offering listeners an intimate glimpse into his life. George delves deep into the challenges he faced after being arrested on suspicion of abuse while "Married at First Sight" Season 7 was still airing. He candidly recounts the painful, life-limiting experiences he endured in the 12 months that followed.

Highlights from the Episode:

• George Roberts opens up about the emotional toll of false allegations.
• He shares how the past year challenged his mental well-being and personal relationships.
• George reflects on the importance of resilience, healing, and moving forward.
• The podcast episode emphasises the power of the human mind in overcoming adversity.

This exclusive interview is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, as George Roberts candidly discusses the impact of adversity and how he emerged stronger and more determined to shape his future.

All criminal charges have now been dropped.

At Channel 4's request, I add their comment below. George Roberts has made it clear that he did not feel supported and he felt that Channel 4 did not assist him with his requests.

A Channel 4 Spokesperson said:

“Duty of care is our number one priority on Married at First Sight UK. The cast receive an exemplary level of support from the show’s executives, a dedicated welfare team and qualified psychologists. This care is provided before, during and, if needed, well after transmission. What is seen by viewers is a fair and accurate depiction of a naturally occurring, often surprising and very much unscripted process, which participants can leave at any time.”

In this episode of The New Mind Podcast, host Ella McCrystal welcomes Josh Connolly for an insightful discussion on the effects of toxic parenting and its profound impact on emotional and mental health.

Josh shares his personal journey, emphasising the role of somatic experiencing and trauma healing as vital pathways toward recovery. A key theme is how individuals, especially those raised in toxic environments, often deny their own realities and disconnect from their bodies as coping mechanisms. This can manifest as emotional suppression, with societal expectations and rigid gender roles compounding the issue, particularly when it comes to expressing emotions like anger.

The conversation highlights how vital it is to validate emotions, acknowledge their presence, and find healthy outlets for releasing them. It also discusses social anxiety and the body's natural response to discomfort, stressing the importance of finding supportive people and communities. Breathwork emerges as a powerful tool for reconnecting with the body, calming the mind, and addressing lingering trauma from childhood.

Self-perception, shaped by childhood experiences, is another core focus, with forgiveness playing a critical but nuanced role in healing.

Eastern philosophies are praised for offering insights into slowing down, tuning into the body, and prioritising mental well-being in an era of hyper-capitalism, which often exacerbates mental health challenges. The pressures of parenting, especially for those recovering from their own childhood trauma, are discussed alongside the power of somatic work to heal emotional wounds.

Josh Connolly is credited for fostering a safe, insightful space throughout the discussion, providing thoughtful guidance on navigating these complex issues.
