    Performing Well - What does this actually look like? With Olympic Rower, Toby Garbett & Breathwork Practitioner, Vaughan Wickins

    Send a text Hosted by Tiffany Kertesz Today’s episode is all about men’s health, neurodiversity, and what it really means to perform well—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. I’m joined by two fascinating guests who come at this from very different, but deeply connected angles. Toby Garbett is a former Olympic rower who transitioned from elite sport into gym ownership and coaching. He’s spent years working at the sharp end of performance, resilience, identity, and the pressures men face—both on and off the world stage. Alongside him is Vaughan Wickins, member of SEED wellness and author of GUTWISE – The Secret to Healing That Pain in the Arse and a certified breathwork instructor.  Vaughan trained with 4 X World Champion Freediver, Stig Severinsen, in South Africa. His book focuses on constipation and haemorrhoids and his work dives deep into the science—and the lived experience—of how your body and brain constantly talk to each other.  Together, we explore neurodiversity, men’s health, and how understanding the nervous system, breath, and body can change the way men train, work, cope, and connect—with themselves and others. This is a conversation about performance, yes—but also regulation, identity, and what thriving actually looks like for different kinds of brains.

Beth knows from personal experience how grief can effect every aspect of your life, from how you function daily, managing your emotions, change in identity and relationships.  "Grief changes you, it becomes part of the new you, and navigating that in itself is a journey.' "Grief is not linear and it doesn't disappear, it changes in intensity throughout all times of yourself and navigating that needs to be supported'. Beth talks about the misconceptions of grief and how you can support someone  who is grieving. She discusses how grief journeys are very individual and can manifest in lots of different ways for each individual.  Having support on this journey is integral in being able to hold yourself, support yourself and grow because grief is not linear, it is not there one day and gone the next.  Grief goes up and down, it can sometimes bring smiles, sometimes bring loneliness and sadness, it can bring symptoms and changes, it can bring emotions and anxiety, it can bring a whole new identity and perception of how you now see yourself and the world around you. A Holistic Grief Coach can help you navigate this is a journey, as grief flows with you, to support you in learning more about yourself and how you are affected by your own grief, how you carry your grief, how you manage your moments and how you move forward honouring those who you have lost.  Beth specialises in supporting new parents without a Parent, Beth knows firsthand how tricky time this can be, and loves to suport people in these moments where she know she needed it the most.  Beth works both in person and online.

    Send a text Hosted by Natalie Helman In today's podcast, we speak to Dani Diosi - a highly qualified Women's Health Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Master Coach and author with over 20 years experience of supporting women during life’s most profound hormonal transitions - from pregnancy and birth to perimenopause and menopause.  Dani is passionate about empowering women to make the second part of their life, the best part of their life. Because of her own experience of perimenopause and her deep knowledge of the subconscious and female physiology, she knows that menopause isn’t just hormonal - it’s neurological and subconscious.  By calming the nervous system, re-programming unhelpful subconscious patterns as well as leading a healthier more energetic life, women can experience menopause with confidence, clarity and ease.  Says Dani, “By rewiring menopause at nervous system level, her clients learn that they do not have to be victims of their physiology but can be the architects of their evolution."

    Journeys Series - How To Utilise The Power Of Breathwork For Both Physical & Mental Health with Vaughan Wickins, Breathwork Practitioner

    Send us a text As part of our Journeys series, we shared the mic with Vaughan Wickins, a Breathwork Instructor and Gut Health Practitioner based in Henley-on-Thames, Berkshire. After personally experiencing years of debilitating gut health issues, including haemorrhoids and constipation, Vaughan discovered that breathwork played a powerful role in improving his condition. This led him to train with the 4 X World Champion freediver, Stig Severinsen and qualify as a Breathwork Instructor. In this podcast, Vaughan shares his personal journey, alongside practical, science-backed tips and techniques that show how the breath can be used to support better health and wellbeing. Vaughan explains: “Overall health isn’t about hacks - it’s about habits. And breathing is the fastest, easiest habit to change. Within 30–60 seconds, you can change how you feel and how you respond to the world.” Vaughan helps both women and men improve gut health, relieve constipation, soothe haemorrhoids and regulate the nervous system using science-based techniques that support better digestion, regular bowel movements, stress management, immune resilience, and overall mental and physical wellbeing. Reflecting on his journey, Vaughan shares: “I know this struggle personally. Over the last 10 years I’ve lived it, studied it, and discovered practical, science-backed approaches that genuinely transform gut health and strengthen mental and physical wellness. There’s a tidal wave of mental health challenges sweeping the world, and I believe real transformation lies in the connection between gut health and breathwork - two natural, accessible ways to reset the autonomic nervous system and shift from go-go-go into a state of calm, rest, and focus.” Vaughan is the author of “Gutwise – The Secret to Healing That Pain in the Arse” and works both in person and online. On OFFER is his NEW 14-Day Ocean Breeze™️ Challenge - a simple, science-backed course requiring just 4 minutes a day of his signature Ocean Breeze™️ breathing practice. The practice has been shown in Stanford research to outperform mindfulness.
