    Why 'Finding the One' Is Terrible Advice (And What to Do Instead) | Cindy Gallop

    This week I'm joined by Cindy Gallop, entrepreneur, founder of Make Love Not Porn, former Chair of BBH USA, and someone who has spent her life questioning the rules we're told to live by.A quick warning before we start: Cindy has spent her entire life saying the things most people are too afraid to say out loud, and she does so with absolutely no filter. Which, as you'll hear, is exactly what makes her so brilliant.From challenging how we think about sex and relationships to redefining what confidence, success and fulfilment can look like, Cindy has spent decades refusing to live by anyone else's expectations. She was named Advertising Woman of the Year and has become one of the world's most outspoken voices on sex, relationships and modern culture.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to build a life that feels true to you, rather than one that simply looks right to everyone else.What we explore together:* Why so many of us live by beliefs and expectations we never consciously chose* Why confidence comes from knowing yourself, not seeking validation from others* Why Cindy believes we need more role models for living differently* Why the search for "the one" can stop us from asking better questions about love* How creating Make Love Not Porn became a mission to challenge shame and misinformation around sex* The question Cindy believes we should all ask before entering a relationship* What it actually means to trust yourself, especially when your choices don't fit society's expectationsLove, Sarah Ann 💛My book 'Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard': https://www.amazon.co.uk/Healthy-Shouldnt-Be-This-Hard-ebook/dp/B0G1DHNRV5This episode is sponsored by:NOWATCH: The compassionate health trackerConnecting body and mind with unique stress recovery insights so you can live fully today👉 15% off with code LWBW15 at https://nowatch.com/The Great British Veg Out How to support your gut, energy, and hormones by eating more — not less.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/p/t…Reset Your HealthIf your body feels off after stress, travel, or burnout — this is where to start.👉 https://sarahmacklin.substack.com/s/r...👉 Practical beats perfect.

    Nir Eyal: Why Positive Thinking Isn't Working (& What Actually Does)

    Grab my Sunday Times Best Selling Book: Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard 👇😆✌🏼https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH Have you ever wondered why you keep thinking, feeling or behaving in ways you know aren't serving you even when you know better? This week I'm joined by Nir Eyal, behavioural designer and bestselling author, and one of the most fascinating voices on how our beliefs shape everything from our habits and identity to our health and happiness. Nir has a way of cutting through the noise of self-help and getting to the science and what he shares isn't about toxic positivity or vision boarding. It's about understanding the beliefs running your life, and actually changing them. What we explore together: Why your brain continues to lie to you even when you know the truthThe difference between facts, faith and beliefs and why it mattersWhy manifesting and positive visualisation can actually make you less likely to succeedWhat a 1950s rat experiment teaches us about the power of belief and human potentialWhy your ADHD, perfectionism or Myers-Briggs label might be holding you backHow the stories we tell ourselves create suffering — and how to change themThe science of luck — and why lucky people aren't just born that wayWhy your beliefs about ageing could impact your lifespan more than diet or exerciseHow to actually change a limiting belief — practically and permanently If you've ever felt stuck in patterns you can't seem to break, this one is for you.

    This week I'm joined by Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell, psychologist and grief specialist, and one of the most compassionate voices helping people understand loss in all its forms.

What we explore together: Why the goal of grief isn't to "get over it" and what it actually means to healWhy grief doesn't follow the five stages and why that model was never designed for bereavementThe losses no one talks about: divorce, estrangement, childlessness, leaving your home country, lonelinessHow the brain maps the people we love and why grief feels so physically disorientingHow to actually help someone who is grieving and why a text message isn't enoughWhat a friendship breakup really does to us, and how to make sense of itThe signs you're dysregulated and what your body is trying to tell youA simple technique to create a safe space in your mind for moments of overwhelm If you or someone you love is carrying grief of any kind, whether or not there has been a death this one is for you.
