| 15 Mar 2023 | Comedy in the Presence of Suffering: The Dark Clown with Peta Lily | 00:53:03 | |
In today's episode Caroline talks with award winning performer, theatre maker and teacher Peta Lily about how an horrific and hilarious incident she witnessed during a play in the 1980s triggered her ground-breaking work in the genre of Dark Clown. We look at the similarities and differences between the Red Nose and Dark Clown. As we examine the notion of 'troubled laughter', Peta highlights an integral factor of Dark Clown work - we are not laughing at suffering, but laughing in the presence of suffering. Peta talks about her career in Physical Theatre and reflects on how her early nervousness has proved to have been an asset in her journey of discovery in her work.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Well-Being Alchemist Wendy-Anne Steer. In this episode Wendy shares how she felt compelled to explore alternative healing modalities after her own experience of suffering, and recovering fully from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Wendy talks about the increase in the incidence of female clients suffering the effects of both ADHD and menopause, and how during this phase unprocessed trauma can appear. We discuss the harmful effects of over-identification with personal labels and dismantle the notion of single solution healthcare, rather that we can be fluid, but consistent in our healing. Wendy also shares actionable healing tips for when we're feeling anxious and overwhelmed. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.

Nature serves as Wendy's sanctuary and source of healing, and she and her family reside in the serene landscapes of Lincolnshire where she continues to inspire and guide individuals on their paths to well-being.

| 12 Jun 2024 | From Good Girl to Unbound Woman with Nicola Humber | 00:40:43 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I talk to author, publisher and mentor Nicola Humber. Nicola describes how she became lost through years of trying to people please, consumed by doing what she thought other people expected of her, and how she found herself again by reconnecting to her love of writing. Nicola explains how she went from good girl to unbound self accepting woman and how she now teaches other people to do this by discovering their inner author. She shares the secrets of her unique writing process, we talk about how creativity helps us remember who we are intrinsically, and we ponder the resurgence of physical books as an antidote and welcome escape from endless hours of scrolling and overwhelm. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "I could describe my journey to this point really simply. It's like from good girl to unbound, you know, that's the kind of terms, phrases that I use." "It ties in because a lot of the fears around expressing ourselves creatively and certainly when it comes to writing a book, what I hear and what I've experienced myself, especially when we're sharing elements of our story and we're allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, well what will other people think of me, particularly the people close to us, but then out in the world and on the internet, will I attract criticism, ridicule, you know, all of these things." "The approach that I take to it for myself and when I'm holding space for others is I guess, it's a process of like radical self trust. So you really are like, you're coming to the page, like not having this expectation that you will have like the whole book mapped out at the beginning." "What I love about books in particular is that like you get to hold this actual physical thing at the end of it. I mean, the way I think about and talk about books is like, they're like these magical portals that we get to create for ourselves as we're writing them and also our readers get to experience them in that way." "I think sometimes because we don't know, we know we want to make a change, but will it work out? Like, you know, where will I end up? We don't know. So it's, it is trusting that first step. “
ABOUT THE GUEST Blog Nicola Humber is the author of three transformational books, Heal Your Inner Good Girl, UNBOUND and Unbound Writing and creator of the #unbound365 journal. She's also the founder of The Unbound Press, a soul-led publishing imprint for unbound women.

Nicola helps women to write the book their Unbound Self is calling them to write, whilst growing a community of soul-family readers and clients.

| 06 Dec 2023 | How I Escaped Coercive Control with Amanda Hart | 00:46:19 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I talk to former therapist, intuitive coach and mentor Amanda Hart about the publication of her long anticipated book 'Sue Me', a memoir of her experiences of domestic abuse and coercive control. She reveals the surprising backlash the book received and how it stalled at initial publication in 2015. Amanda also shares how she survived a childhood of graphic physical, emotional and mental abuse by cultivating a healing relationship with the natural world, and what can only be described as angelic experiences. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "It was 14 and a half years of trying to survive and not knowing if I was going to survive, and that was on a daily basis." "The emotional and mental abuse lasts, and it lasts, and it’s imprinted." "Why should we keep being told that we have to be shut up so that the perpetrators can keep perpetrating?" "If we take responsibility for what's going on in our thoughts and communication, that has a very different effect." "Social media was only created to get people antagonistic with one another." "Your intelligence is actually in the energy world. Tune into your higher nature for solutions." "It's like having a super library compared to the limited library of our past experiences." "I survived harrowing experiences because I learned to love my perpetrators."
ABOUT THE GUEST
Amanda Hart, a Mum of 3, discovered she was very different to other children during her childhood through a deep relationship with her intuitive faculty. This helped her to survive a dire upbringing when taken from her mother by her father. She was invisible behind the veil of a middle-class family hiding a very dark secret. As a consultant, Amanda has worked with clients for over 27 years to help them overcome their limiting beliefs, underlying assumptions, or negative programmes, through an innovative intuitive coaching approach. Working with their unique journey, she helps them to discover their power, purpose, and people so they can thrive, whilst igniting a global impact. Her memoir The Guys Upstairs, quite unexpectedly changed the course of her life, as well as others and now the recently updated edition, Sue Me, is the catalyst behind her campaign for greater transparency and authenticity in an uncertain world.

| 18 Jan 2023 | Love, Laughter and the Ephemeral Nature of Balloons with Balloon Artist Addi Somekh | 01:05:47 | |
In this episode, Caroline is talking to the incredible Addi Somekh who began twisting balloons as a random summer job at the age of eighteen. Addi found an uncanny ability to create hats that reflected the wearer's personality. Over the last 30 years he, and photographer Charlie Eckert, have travelled to 35 countries making and photographing balloon hats and crowns and gifting them to the people they met. This was all part of his investigation into the universal nature of joy. Addi has also created huge balloon sculptures, is an author, TEDX speaker, starred in his own reality show, and plays the balloon bass in his band Unpopable. The music that you hear in this episode is courtesy of Addi's band and features the distinctive sound of the balloon bass. During the episode, Addi explains how unrequited love and sadness got him started on this incredible odyssey. He explains how his ability to see people’s auras feeds into his balloon art and provides a fascinating insight into laughter. Enjoy as we look at life through a latex coloured lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS ‘I was able to capture their personalities somehow in this balloon sculpture.’ ‘Balloons are so ephemeral and non-threatening.’ ‘Paradox is actually kind of the operating system and the mystery of the world.’ ‘Laughter sounds the same in every language.’ ABOUT THE GUEST Addi Somekh - Balloon Artist Addi Somekh is a uniquely talented individual and is recognized as one of the most innovative, prolific and well-traveled balloon artists in the world. A self-taught balloon twister, his style incorporates improvisation, abstract design and comic delivery, culminating in custom-made headdresses that have an uncanny ability to reflect the wearer’s personality. Addi’s balloon hats have taken him around the world with photographer Charlie Eckert. Their travels resulted in the book The Inflatable Crown (2001, Chronicle Books). In 2011, Addi starred in the TLC reality show, “The Unpoppables”, which followed his LA-based company, New Balloon Art, as they built impossibly large, interactive balloon installations at high-end events. Outside of the balloon world, Addi teaches a philosophy course at UC Santa Cruz entitled, “Meaning, Paradox and Love”, which has grown from 13 to 130 students in only four semesters. Addi’s favorite way to procrastinate and avoid reality is to play the balloon bass—a 3-and-a-half octave, 100% latex, super-funky inflatable bass.

| 06 Nov 2024 | Ozempic, Objectification and Unachievable Beauty with Sally Baker | 00:44:46 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode I'm delighted to be joined once again by relationship expert and trauma specialist Sally Baker. In this fascinating and informative conversation Sally breaks down why the latest government 'jab for a job' scheme for unemployed overweight people is short sighted, and over simplifies a deeply complex and layered issue. We discuss the mental, emotional and legal fallouts from failed short cuts to weight loss, as well as body dysmorphia, ageing, the poison of comparison and the pandemic of dangerous and unnecessary cometic procedures amongst women in their early twenties. So please join me as we look a life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS · As a trauma specialist and relationship expert, Sally Baker believes the government's proposed Ozempic scheme for unemployed people is dangerously simplistic, drawing on her extensive experience with weight related trauma cases · Through her clinical practice, Sally has supported numerous clients using Ozempic, observing not just physical side effects but also a phenomenon she calls "Ozempic sadness" where suppressed traumas surface when food can no longer be used for emotional comfort · Sally's long-term work with bariatric surgery patients has given her unique insight into how weight loss shortcuts can backfire, from severe nutritional deficiencies to addiction switching when underlying emotional issues aren't addressed · Drawing from decades of experience treating eating disorders, Sally reveals the connection between obesity and childhood trauma, particularly sexual abuse, which she's seen in cases dating back to when clients were as young as three · Sally's expertise in body dysmorphia allows her to explain how modern beauty trends like the "Love Island face" are creating a concerning uniformity, with young women seeking Botox and fillers before they even develop wrinkles · Through her therapeutic work, Sally has witnessed the devastating impact of social media comparison culture, seeing how heavily curated images are affecting her clients' mental health and body image · Her work with post-surgery clients has shown Sally how body dysmorphia often worsens after procedures, as patients develop a hyper focused attention to increasingly minor "imperfections" · Sally's holistic approach to treatment emphasises the need for therapeutic intervention alongside any physical interventions, based on her observation that quick-fix solutions often lead to more complex problems later
BEST MOMENTS "It works. It does work. Although I've also met clients now, the longer it's around, the more you meet clients who've had different experiences with it. And I've also met clients that couldn't stick with it or didn't want to stick with it, and they haven't lost weight or they've regained the weight they lost as soon as they stopped paying for the jabs." "Whatever you get done becomes your new normal... If you're always searching for something to make better, you'll find imperfection."

"These are strategies that people have come up with in really difficult, challenging times in their lives. And they're not great strategies, but that's absolutely all they had at that time." "It's an introspective gaze that we see a lot now with the pressure of social media, the pressure of societal norms on women, that it makes women introspective, where really we need to be looking out to the horizon for mental health to have an impact on the world."

| 05 Jun 2024 | The Power and Properties of Natural Perfume with Charis Angel | 00:58:03 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I talk to Natural Perfumer Charis Angel about the launch of her new range of natural perfumes 'Essentially Botanic". From childhood Charis loved the fragrance of flowers, but it took the stresses of a corporate marketing career, and her work as a celebrity complementary therapist for her to even consider creating her own uniquely therapeutic and stress relieving natural perfumes. During our conversation Charis highlights the crucial differences between synthetic and natural perfume we consider the incredible mood enhancing effects of plant extracts, and we imagine a world without perfume. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.

BEST MOMENTS "When you breathe in the beautiful aromatics, the molecules, the rose molecules you breathe into your olfactory system, which, which links to your limbic system in the brain, which is where, you know, emotions are sort of managed as it were." "Smell is so important to us, really. I mean, smell is one of our most primal and probably one of our most important senses in terms of smelling danger, smelling each other." "We love the planet. I love the planet. All our perfumes are made, and formulated with plants from our beautiful planet. And we want to show our love and respect to the planet by doing our little bit to be as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible."
ABOUT THE GUEST Blog In 2023, Charis Angel decided to take the plunge and started to create a collection of natural perfumes, formulated with organic essential oils and floral absolutes, reputed to help you handle stress and blended with luxurious, skin-loving organic jojoba oil and Vitamin e, to help nourish the skin with vitamins and minerals.
Her mission is to teach people how to incorporate the beautiful aromas of nature into their everyday hectic lifestyle, in order to help them handle the stresses of everyday life. Her natural fragrances pair beautifully with the practice of various healing activities and therapies such as meditation, mindfulness, breathwork, somatic therapy, EFT, yoga, pilates, Tension Release Experience, psychotherapy and so many more.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode I'm joined by Relationship and Dating Coach Mila Smith. Mila believes that there is no such thing as 'unlucky in love' and that our degree of success in matters of the heart is down to good, and often difficult choices. We look at how negative relationships create wear and tear on the emotional and physical body and why falling for someone is easy, but why keeping the relationship going may prove to be difficult.

"Even if people can't normalise divorce, dating and forming a new family, I can tell you that the children will normalise it for you." "You have to go into dating with the point of view 'I'm looking at them, are they good enough for me?' Instead of worrying 'am I good enough for them?'" "We want attraction and passion, that goes without saying... but to have passion is not enough. Even connection is not enough."

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode I'm joined once again by relationship expert and trauma specialist Sally Baker. Sally breaks down the not so obvious downside of online dating, the red, amber and beige flags to be aware of, exactly how the phenomena of ghosting, cuffing, breadcrumbing and firedooring diminish our self esteem and ultimately mental health, and the ramifications of the Covid pandemic on dating trends.

"It's about having, having a big life, and having a big life. And you're right, lots of people are, their, their friendships. Groups are established and those people are often in couples and I would actually encourage my friends to pimp for me." "We've become very fearful and we've made our lives much smaller." "When you shift focus to the external landscape, and that's the world around you, that's connection, that's when you thrive."

| 24 Jan 2024 | Health is Wealth with Ryan Douglas | 00:52:40 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's eye-opening episode, I talk to Ryan Douglas founder and podcast host of 'Health Wealth'. Ryan reveals to us what health wealth really means and how simple shifts in our diet and lifestyle can have dramatic effects on our wellbeing, often reversing conditions previously believed irreversible. We look at ingrained beliefs about western medicine versus herbal and holistic cures, and examine the true the value we place on our health. Ryan also shares his views on the stranglehold that misleading marketing has had, and still has on our perception of what constitutes good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "Your health is the most important thing you have - by doing this, they could be cutting 20, 30 years off their life." "A lot of what we're advised to eat is not actually good for us. It's full of sugar." "Why does my kettle get full of scale so quickly? I'm putting that water into my body." "Physical symptoms in our bodies always have an emotional trigger." "Low fat, low sugar things have no nutritional value and are so bad for you." "We're kept so busy, we don't stop to think about what's actually in this water." "Sugar helps processed foods last longer." "Enjoy the process of cooking and eating."
ABOUT THE GUEST Ryan is the founder of Health Wealth and host of the Health Wealth Podcast. After becoming disillusioned with modern healthcare, and nutritional advice Ryan set out on a personal journey of discovery into the real truths of nutrition and human health. Over the next few years he delved deeper and researched further into the topic, widening his knowledge and expertise in not only how to eat the right foods for health but also the real causes of modern disease and how to reverse and prevent them using only diet and lifestyle.
After optimising his own health Ryan decided he wanted to help others and Health Wealth was born with the goal of not only educating as many as possible on optimal human nutrition but also working with clients through 1-1 coaching to reverse chronic health conditions with amazing results! Ryan continues to further his education and has since qualified as a low carb practitioner specialising in type 1 and type 2 diabetes as well as a qualification in the treatment of chronic illness through diet and lifestyle.

We've done it, haven't we?" "You have probably already got all the things you need in the way that, as human beings, we already have enough clothes to clothe the next five or six generations of people." "This is the best there is. It's all right. It's raining. You're having cornflakes. You're in a tent." "Try second hand first. It's so amazing what you can find."

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Tracey-Jane Hughes who describes herself as a listener, and listening trainer. Tracey-Jane shares how the discovery that she wasn't a very good listener hit her hard, but how that realisation subsequently altered her family communication style for the better.

BEST MOMENTS "Listening with all of our senses is something that I believe is what listening truly is." "A lot of us will hear something and make up what that means to us. So there's already a disconnect." "It's not for us to fix others. It's for us maybe to reflect back, to listen and reflect back what we hear in an unprejudiced way." "We forget that actually we need to practice. Talking about listening is so, it helps us, I think, reflect on our own, the way that we move through life and our own journey."

| 08 May 2024 | Fashion, Sustainability & Ethical Living with Roberta Lee | 00:57:49 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this episode, I talk to Sustainable Stylist and Founder of the Ethical Brand Directory Roberta Lee. Roberta reveals how corporate burnout and a deep seated feeling of unhappiness, caused her to develop an addiction to buying clothes, which at it's height would see her spending up to £500 per month - and then the shocking pivotal event that changed her life and career path forever. Roberta recalls the moment she realised her mission was not only to empower women through fashion, but to redefine and actively change the whole landscape of fashion and sustainability. We discuss the long-term implications of our short-term choices, the seductive rise of 'ultra-fast' fashion and the manufacturing misconceptions around luxury brands. We also examine ways to embrace and remove the stigma around pre-loved clothing and Roberta offers achievable, actionable tips on how to build a sustainable wardrobe. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "I used fashion as a tool for myself to dress the parts in certain roles and male-dominated environments. I used to power dress, I realised I reached a fashion to make myself feel good." "The reality of what was going on,I just couldn't escape. I was part of it I was part of the problem and I was contributing to this" "Building a sustainable wardrobe is a journey not a final destination. So, we never get to perfection but we learn how to get there in the most responsible way we can within our means." "Taking away this stigma around pre-loved or second-hand or thrifted or swapped clothes is a really important step because we have so much clothing already in, in production that's already on the planet that needs to be home."
ABOUT THE GUEST Roberta Lee | The Sustainable Stylist https://robertastylelee.co.uk/ https://ethicalbranddirectory.com/ Since 2015, Roberta Lee has been a passionate advocate for sustainable style. Roberta Lee's journey began after she developed an addiction to shopping for clothes during her corporate career. Roberta found herself spending approximately £500 every month on clothes. After watching a single documentary called 'The True Cost', she had a rude awakening about the impact that these clothes and her shopping habits were having on the planet and on the people creating them. Not to mention the toll her addiction took on her mental health and confidence.

In this episode, Caroline is talking to the amazing Joshua Okpala, who after training as an actor has become one of only four male intimacy coordinators in the country. Joshua has worked on several high profile films and TV shows choreographing nude, simulated sex and other types of intimate scenes, in a way that maintains the safety and dignity of the actors and cast. Caroline and Joshua discuss how the perception of what is acceptable in terms of what actors are expected to do during intimate scenes has shifted over time and Joshua provides a fascinating insight into how actors rights and personal feelings towards intimacy and nudity are managed on set. Joshua describes what drew him to this work and how he helps actors just beginning their journey understand that they have a choice in everything. KEY TAKEAWAYS

Today I have the immense pleasure of talking to the Chief Executive of the Night Time Industries Association, Michael Kill not only about his passion for the night-time economy and culture, but also about the worrying rise of conscious bystander behaviour. We examine how the long and gradual disintegration of community may be one of the reasons for the growing reluctance to become involved in trying to resolve conflict on both an individual and societal level.

"Hip hop was very inclusive of all races and it was considered if you could sing, you were artistic, you could dance, then you were, you were involved." "Your tribe is something that identifies you and you always gonna have a bit of it in your life." "We love the idea of them being part of the exhibition." "It's kind of to take everyone back, to get them back into their tribe mentality and also, you know, appreciate the other tribes."

| 25 Dec 2024 | Genetics Loads the Gun but Lifestyle Pulls the Trigger with Ryan Douglas | 00:41:07 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode, I talk once again to Ryan Douglas founder of 'Health Wealth' and host of the 'Health Wealth' podcast. Following our first eye-opening conversation about diet and lifestyle, Ryan explains the root cause of 99% of disease and reveals the main driver of modern day obesity. We explore how food companies hack into our subconscious with the clever use of marketing to create desire for ultra processed foods. And we look at our attitudes towards sugar, proven to be more addictive than heroin and alcohol, and yet sugar laden treats are given as rewards to children. Ryan also offers actionable lifestyle tips on how to improve health and explains why good quality sleep is so crucially important for wellbeing. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "Genetics can load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger." "95% of what we do and the decisions we make is our subconscious and only 5% is our conscious." "They spend millions and millions of dollars on scientists whose sole job is to make that food as addictive to you as they can do." "If you avoid processed foods and cook food yourself, you're cutting them [seed oils] out." "When you actually go into a supermarket, apart from in the vegetable section and the meat section, the rest of it is just manmade stuff that is masquerading as food." ABOUT THE GUEST Ryan is the founder of Health Wealth and host of the Health Wealth Podcast. After becoming disillusioned with modern healthcare, and nutritional advice Ryan set out on a personal journey of discovery into the real truths of nutrition and human health. Over the next few years he delved deeper and researched further into the topic, widening his knowledge and expertise in not only how to eat the right foods for health but also the real causes of modern disease and how to reverse and prevent them using only diet and lifestyle. After optimising his own health Ryan decided he wanted to help others and Health Wealth was born with the goal of not only educating as many as possible on optimal human nutrition but also working with clients through 1-1 coaching to reverse chronic health conditions with amazing results! Ryan continues to further his education and has since qualified as a low carb practitioner specialising in type 1 and type 2 diabetes as well as a qualification in the treatment of chronic illness through diet and lifestyle.

BEST MOMENTS ‘It's not how many times you fail, it's about not giving up. ´ ABOUT THE GUEST At 25, in the middle of lockdown, Charlie Frances set up a Pay What You Can Headshots Company so young actors can hurdle industry barriers to being considered for work. Charlie, like most trained actors, lost his income at the beginning of the lockdowns. He had been juggling acting gigs around an internship for a Film Festival and work in events. Everyone he knew was in the same boat, their income just disappeared overnight. So, Charlie decided to help his friends be ready for when the industry started up again by taking their headshots at whatever price they could afford; The Pay What You Can Headshots Initiative was born. Now two years on and the acting industry is slowly picking up, Charlie’s business Akta Photography Ltd has taken over 2000 portraits, produced Podcasts, run workshops, and bundled pertinent services into a subscription service called TeamAkta. Charlie has a successful, growing business built on business acumen alongside the belief everyone should get a fair chance. Charlie continues helping actors keep abreast of industry expectations and dedicates 25% of Headshots to the Akta Pay What You Can Headshot Initiative.

| 09 Oct 2024 | Disability is Not a Costume with Freddie Stabb | 01:01:09 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode I talk to actress and campaigner Freddie Stabb. In our conversation Freddie shares how as a person with a disability, she has navigated the world of acting for over 30 years. We discuss tokenism, how the representation of disability on screen is a powerful tool in shaping society's perception of disabled people and how that representation can be limiting and unrealistic. We also talk about the trials and tribulations of the casting process for actors with disabilities, and why casting able-bodied actors in disabled roles should be considered unacceptable, as disability is not a costume. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.

| 20 Mar 2024 | How to Self Heal Compassionately with Amy A O'Day | 01:01:13 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this episode, I talk to healer Amy O'Day about 'Compassionate Self Healing'. Having suffered from autoimmune illnesses for decades Amy explains the way she finally cured herself of these seemingly incurable conditions. We discuss the critical importance of being allowed to express anger and emotion, how trans-generational trauma can create illness and why when we're triggered our inner 3 year old will often turn up to wanting to drive the truck. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "There isn't one part of you that tells the story. There are multiple parts of you." "Remission is not switching off your illness... When you actually switch off your illness, you don't need anything anymore." "It takes courage to actually, to choose to be well." "I have yet to get to a thread and not be able to get to, you know, what the memories are, even with people that have completely blanked out their childhood." "There is hope and I think that's really important just to give people hope, you know, that they can actually get in the driving seat with you as the instructor and they can, you know, and they can drive towards health."
ABOUT THE GUEST Blog Amy developed her own modality, Compassionate Self-Healing, after decades or personal research as a result of a lifetime of chronic illness. Imbalances for her, started as a small child, and the chronic illnesses piled on, gathering momentum with every decade. Eventually at 35, six months after the birth of her twin boys, her body gave way, culminating in several autoimmune conditions, complete burnout, and an inability to function. From there, she started the deep-dive into the research, working on everything from the microbiome and what the medical establishment could offer, nutrition, alternative therapies, energetic techniques, and researching trauma-release modalities. After even more illness ensued, she finally unlocked the key to her own individualised healing process by getting the exact answers she needed to what was at the root of her imbalances and switched off all of her autoimmune conditions and chronic illness. From there, she closed her successful design business of 22 years in order to pursue this work, and her professional practice began, realising the same phenomenal success in others that she had in herself. With a closed 2-year waiting list, she is now offering a teacher-training practice in order to spread the reach and message of the work, and offers different generalised techniques and healing meditations on TikTok and YouTube to help those beginning their work.

BEST MOMENTS "It's not enough just to have skin in the game and say, oh yeah, you know, I've got lived experience. It's valuable if you have lived experience that you resolved and come out the other side of." "Another layer of separation when really you just need to or want to sit down and speak with another fellow human." "So it's human connection that saves us, that builds, that protects our mental health, but solid, you know, human connection that isn't toxic, human connection that listens to us and gives us a chance to speak." "The bedrock of good, sound mental health is human connection." "If you are already anxious about yourself or feeling a bit down about yourself, but you've got this toxic drip drip thing, you'll never amount to anything, you'll always be rubbish, look what you've done, you know, it's all your fault, then it doesn't take much to tip you over into heightened anxiety and more overwhelm." "It's called breaking state. And it means you can't just sit there and listening to this voice in your head, put you down." "Elevate. This is about elevating us instead of punching down on us."

Please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "I didn't have any energy. What energised me, what could I watch or do that made me feel like I had some? And then I gradually got some, and what did that really feel like?" "Children's theatre is young people practising to be political beings. They haven't decided yet. That's why I quite like hanging out with them." "It's human nature to connect. And, you know, it's important that we think of the earth as, and nature as this object, that this, this exchange of energy that it holds up." "I can proudly own many parts of myself. Um, but thankfully to women now who are doing what they're doing now, I love women now and artists now. I'm so grateful to them, and I would do anything to imbue them more with more power, um, for the good, for the good." "Rehearsals are just the tipping moment when you're sorting it out. It's like rehearsal. I think people tend to go, oh, it takes four weeks to make that show. And that's the wrong thing. So that's why I like to talk more about process, process as product."

| 30 Oct 2024 | Breaking Menopause Myths with Michelle Rowlinson | 00:51:10 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode, I'm joined by Physiotherapist, Menopause Expert and best selling author Michelle Rowlinson. Michelle outlines how a slew of frightening and life changing symptoms prompted her deep dive into understanding her menopause journey, and how she decided to dedicate herself to creating awareness for others. We discuss the impact on both women going through the change as well as their partners, the far-reaching ramifications of the effect of transition symptoms, and how women are failed in the workplace, as 1 in 4 leave or lose their jobs during this period. Michelle also busts some myths about the 3 stages of menopause, the efficacy of treatment options that are currently available, and we look at the positives of this life phase. So please join me as we look at life through a different lens.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "I started getting all these symptoms that I just didn't really understand... I thought I had dementia. I thought something was serious going on." "We were talking before that you can't get pregnant in perimenopause. And although fertility might be more difficult, you might be more predisposed to miscarriage; you're also more predisposed to twins." "Many women call in sick and lie about why they're calling in sick because they're worried about the stigma, will they lose their job?" "It's shocking that the British Menopause Society did a survey and found that a third of women still haven't heard of the word perimenopause before they start having symptoms." "I don't know why we're not taught it in school. It's crazy. We're taught lots of things that we never use ever again, but we're not taught about ourselves." ABOUT THE GUEST Blog

From working with the likes of Steven Berkoff and Irving Welsh to his more recent work raising climate awareness with children Tam has always searched for meaning.

"When you've got children, I don't know, then you just think, God, what is it going to be like for my daughter?" "He's been told by the voices that there was a paedophile ring of Scottish actors and I was the only one he recognised." "I felt immediately calm. I didn't freak out at all...it must have been a really sharp knife." "Forgiveness is the key to the kingdom of heaven."

| 15 Nov 2023 | Explaining the Science of Memory with Professor Daniel C. Richardson | 00:44:49 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm marking this the 50th episode of the series by inviting back my very first guest Professor of Experimental Psychology Daniel C. Richardson to deep dive into the fitting topic of memory. Once again I'm astounded by the insights shared by Dan as we learn that despite having an immense capacity for recognition, memory is not an objective instrument of recall, but essentially serves as a tool of storytelling, and that tool is highly susceptible to bias, expectation and suggestion. So please join me as we remember the past through a very a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS "When you recall a memory, you're not pressing play on the DVD player of your brain. You are spinning a story and telling yourself that detail." "The more you visualise stuff, that gives you more diverse brain activation and makes it more like you're remembering stuff." "If I was to show you a penny and flip it round, you wouldn’t say, hang on, that’s the wrong way round." "Because what those things are, are stories and personal stories that like all stories have great meaning and value." "Some of the details might be wrong. The person wasn’t wearing that coat that didn’t really happen, but that’s not the important thing about it." "If your test is just, have you remembered these five things? Then yeah, note-taking is really, really useful." "Rather than just say, oh, hi, you’re Doug. Nice to meet you, Doug. Take a few mental seconds to think, how am I going to remember Doug?" "It’s just a case of reawakening it. Getting them to tell that story again." ABOUT THE GUEST Daniel C. Richardson is a Professor of Experimental Psychology at University College London. Prior to that, he was an undergraduate at Magdalen College, Oxford, a graduate student at Cornell, a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford, and an assistant professor at UC Santa Cruz. His research examines how individuals' thought processes are related to the people around them. He has authored many scientific articles in cognitive, developmental and social psychology and two popular science books, Man vs Mind and A Dummies Guide to Social Psychology. Daniel has appeared in science documentaries, TV shows such as 'Duck Quacks Don't Echo', and been featured on the Naked Scientists podcast. He consults with a group of scientists at ACN Labs to use the tools of neuroscience to answer real world questions outside of the lab. He has investigated such as how the brain responses to audiobooks, what is special about the experience of live theatre, and whether fast sports cars really do compensate for a lack of manhood. He received three Provost's Teaching Awards from UCL, and has performed shows at the London Science Museum and Bloomsbury theatre combining science, music and live experiments on the group mind of the audience.

Hello everyone and welcome to the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. As many of you know last week marked the 50th episode of the series and gave me a moment to reflect on my journey so far and what I intended to do.

I've talked to an incredible variety of people in the series so far, and covered the broadest range of topics from within the world of science, to the deepest recesses of the soul, from acting to art, clowning to yoga and balloon sculpture to intimacy coaching, but what binds all my guests together is their desire to tell a story, to share their view of the world through their own unique lens. I've talked to people who have a fascination with the world, and their place in it. I thank all of my guests from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to talk about their lives and work, and especially those who have courageously and honestly shared their stories of personal human revolution, and the perception shifts that they experienced which helped them to understand that there is something more out there in the for them than what they were originally told by others. They are change makers, not only creating change in their own lives, but in the lives of everyone with which they share their work and experience. They demonstrate the power of autonomy and are creators of their own new realities, as we can all be. So in the next few episodes of the series I will be drawing on some of the remarkable stories that I have heard and weaving together links, similarities and thoughts interspersed with my own reflections and perceptions. Please continue to join me as I revisit these stories through a very different lens. ABOUT THE HOST Bio Caroline Partridge is a unique and creative individual.

| 15 Aug 2023 | My Path to Writing with Lara Pawson | 01:03:43 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In this episode, I talk with the brilliant writer and author Lara Pawson about current perceptions that surround writing, and she describes the fascinating and unconventional approach she had to writing her latest genre-defying work 'Spent Light'. We interrogate the idea of failure and what it means, and discuss solidarity and belonging, in light of Lara's latest review of the National Theatre production 'Grenfell'. Please join me as we look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS
