    Christmas Special 2025

    Christmas is meant to be magical… but for many mums, it’s also exhausting, emotional, and quietly overwhelming. In this Christmas special episode, we’re lowering the bar, naming the chaos, and having the conversations that usually happen in the kitchen at midnight when the house is finally quiet and the feelings catch up. We talk honestly about the mental load of Christmas, the invisible planning, the pressure to make everyone else happy, and how easy it is to lose yourself in the process. We share what we’ve loved this season, what’s been hard, the moments we nearly lost it (or fully did), and the boundaries we’re learning to set imperfectly. There’s laughter too. Funny fails, expectation-vs-reality moments, and reminders that you are very much not alone in any of this. Most of all, this episode is about redefining what a good Christmas actually means, letting go of perfection, choosing connection, and modelling emotional honesty for our kids. Whether you’re wrapping presents at midnight, hiding in the loo, feeling flat, grieving, or just trying to get through December this one’s for you. ✨ No fixing. No pressure. Just real talk, warmth, and permission to be human. “However this Christmas looks for you, you are doing enough.” Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartfull_mindheavy/ Email us at: info@heartfullmindheavy.co.uk Thanks for listening!

    Mind Over Map: What It Takes to Become a London Cabbie

    When Alex’s husband Ryan decided to take on The Knowledge, the famously gruelling test required to become a licensed London black cab driver, he had no idea how deeply it would test his patience, focus, and resilience.  In this honest conversation, Alex and Debs sit down with Ryan to explore why he chose this unique path, what it took to get through years of studying every street in London, and how the process affected his mental health, family life, and sense of purpose. We’ll hear about the challenges, the breakthroughs, and what life looks like now that Ryan’s officially behind the wheel of a black cab.  Find us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartfull_mindheavy/ Email us at: info@heartfullmindheavy.co.uk Thanks for listening!
