    Episode 44 - How Are You? : The Thought Trap

    “How are you?” is a question we ask all the time and one that often gets answered automatically. In this episode, I explore where our answers really come from and how easily they are shaped by thought, memory, or imagined futures rather than what is actually happening now. This is not about answering differently, just a gentle inquiry into where we put our attention and what we might notice when we slow that moment down.

    Episode 43 - Axes and Beards : The Thought Trap

    I’ve been reflecting on the incredible guests I've had here on The Thought Trap — and honestly, every single one of them is a "Changemaker". Not because of titles or roles, but because of how they show up in the world and make a difference to others. I’ve known todays guest for a good chunk of my adult life, he’s built a business that quietly brings people together and, unexpectedly, into presence. We talk about community, connection, men, beards, vikings, time, relaxation, why we feel calmer when we focus on what’s right in front of us and what he noticed after going completely "phoneless" while filming for a Netflix show. It’s not self-help — it’s just a really human conversation 👉 Check out Damo's work https://linktr.ee/Damo4Show 👉 Check out my work https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

    Episode 42: The Physical Trap : Trap Talk

    “I’m trying to stop smoking, or at least I’m playing with not doing it, and I’m noticing a really strong physical pull in my body. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, sometimes intense, almost like withdrawal. How do I get through that? Surely that the physical pull is different?” I take a Gentle Shift Approach to change. This episode takes a gentle, zoomed-out look at or experience — what’s showing up in the moment, how the mind relates to it, and why physical sensations can feel like something separate and different. This isn’t medical advice or a replacement for support. It’s an invitation to really understand how our experience of life is created and in seeing that change happens. 👉 New Course - The Gentle Shift 5 day Audio Habit Course https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/want-to-shift-a-habit 👉 Want to know more about what I mean by P.E.E.P https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/p-e-e-p 👉 Book a discovery chat and explore bespoke 1:1 coaching for 2026 themissingpeacecotswolds@gmail.com "The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life" Disclaimer: As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.
