    Break the Cycle by Mariel Buqué

    What if the patterns you keep repeating aren’t personal failures, but inherited wounds waiting to be healed? In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore Break the Cycle by Dr Mariel Buqué, a compassionate and eye-opening guide to healing generational trauma and creating emotional freedom. They unpack how trauma can be passed down through families, shaping beliefs, behaviours, and emotional responses without us even realising it.  Drawing on Dr Buqué’s work as a psychologist, the conversation looks at how cycles of fear, self-sabotage, hyper-independence, and emotional shutdown are formed, and how they can be gently undone. Dave and Poppy discuss practical tools from the book, including building emotional safety, regulating the nervous system, setting healthy boundaries, and developing self-compassion. They also explore why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how embodied healing helps create lasting change. This episode offers a grounded, hopeful look at what it means to heal not just for yourself, but for future generations.  If you’re ready to stop repeating the past and start responding with intention, this conversation will guide you towards clarity, courage, and deep emotional healing.

    Brave, Not Perfect by Reshma Saujani

    What if the pressure to be perfect is the very thing holding you back from becoming who you’re meant to be? In this episode, Dave and Poppy dive into Brave, Not Perfect by Reshma Saujani, a powerful call to let go of perfectionism and choose courage instead. They explore how many of us, especially women, are conditioned to seek approval, avoid risk, and stay within safe boundaries.  Drawing from Reshma’s personal experiences and research, the conversation looks at why striving to be flawless can quietly limit confidence, creativity, and growth. Dave and Poppy unpack the difference between perfection and bravery, discussing how embracing failure, speaking up, and taking imperfect action can open doors to leadership, fulfilment, and self-trust.  You’ll hear practical insights on reframing fear, building resilience, and redefining success on your own terms. If you’re ready to stop waiting until you feel ready and start showing up as you are, this episode will encourage you to choose courage over comfort and progress over perfection. Love what you heard?

    The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer

    What if intention isn’t something you do, but something you align with? In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore The Power of Intention by Wayne Dyer, a deeply reflective book that reframes intention as a universal force rather than a personal effort. They unpack Dyer’s idea that intention is the invisible energy behind creation and how aligning your thoughts, emotions, and actions with it changes how life responds to you.  Dave and Poppy discuss the shift from ego-driven goals to purpose-led living, and why surrender, trust, and compassion play a bigger role than control or force. You’ll hear insights on dissolving resistance, recognising synchronicities, and moving from striving to allowing.  The conversation also touches on how habits like gratitude, kindness, and present-moment awareness strengthen your connection to intention in everyday life. If you’re ready for a calmer, more grounded approach to manifestation and meaning, this episode offers a powerful reminder that when you align with intention, life begins to flow.
