  • UPDATED WEEKLY

The place where two ordinary people talk about things people are curious about. We're not taking ourselves too seriously, and we certainly don't have all the answers. We're offering a light-hearted space to think about some stuff differently. We discuss the topics off the cuff based on how the theme strikes us in the moment! It's risky, we keep in the bloopers, and it keeps us on our toes. You can get involved by dropping us suggestions at curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com. Episodes are dropping weekly.

  1. Comfort Zone(s)

    Comfort Zone(s)

    We say farewell to Eddie on this his last appearance for this mini-series, and in doing so we end up slip, sliding our way to the topic of Comfort Zone(s). What keeps us there? Why are they so hard to leave? What can we do about them? What's our experience of exploring beyond them. If you'd like to get involved, drop us an email to curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com

    Beans

    You heard it here first.... beans are broad church and our topic for today. It was kindly brought to you by Eddie, one of our super fans (OMG guys, stop it!!), so join him for chapter 2 of 3 in this mini series. Turns out Eddie doesn't like beans, or does he?! It's not as clear cut as he first thought and we're curious to know if he did indeed take a lathe with him on holiday... If you'd like to get involved, drop us an email to curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com.

    Anxiety & Worry

    Tune in for Cien's last appearance in this Super Fan Mini Series - let's call it the SFMS for short, it makes total sense. Anyway, this week we're getting curious about Anxiety and Worry along with what else shows up. Interestingly, when you're anxious do you worry too?

    Brand, Character, Persona

    Cien (pronounced Shen), our Super Fan Mini-Series guest, came up with a belter of a topic. It's definitely something that has a lot of publicity at the moment with the impact of social media. We also take an analogue look at the topic looking through many different lenses. If you want to get involved, drop us an email to curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com.

  6. Drama Triangle

    26/06/2025

    Drama Triangle

    **SUPERFAN MINI SERIES** We welcome the wonderful Cien to the pod this week as part of our Superfan Series. And we start with a boatload of drama. Drama, drama, drama. We explore the Drama Triangle, a dynamic that is present in our culture, our workplaces, our families, our relationships and ultimately within ourselves. There is huge power in tuning into how this dynamic shows up in our lives, and once we can see it, then there are choices. We can step out of the mindset of victim, persecutor or rescuer AND we can flip the roles. From victim to creator, from rescuer to coach and from persecutor to challenger. From drama to empowerment. If you've got something you're curious about, get in touch with us: curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com

  7. Pressure

    19/06/2025

    Pressure

    Pressure is something we all feel, and too much pressure doesn't end well, with stress and anxiety at the end of that road. We muse about where pressure comes from, and how much choice we have about the pressure we put on ourselves and allow others or situations to place on us. If there's something you're curious about get in touch with us curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com

  8. No!

    05/06/2025

    No!

    Computer says No! It's something we fear because of rejection. Gaaahhhh! Does someone saying no to me mean that I'm a defective person? Well, logically it doesn't, however it can cut us to the quick at times. We experiment with a re-frame of no as the gateway to yes enables it to be welcomed rather than avoided. We also sing. Apologies for that. Saying no to others is, it turns out, just as tricky as receiving a no. Blimey. So if you'd like to say yes to no, then give it a listen. And if there's something you'd like us to be curious about, do get in touch curiousbrainfarts@gmail.com
