    Episode 66 | 5 Ways to Set Boundaries (Solo Episode)

    Send us a text In this solo episode, I take a deeper look into one of the topics I’m most often asked about: boundaries. I share my favorite analogy for understanding what a boundary really is, and why they’re not about pushing people away but about making closeness safe. I talk about why boundaries can feel so uncomfortable to set, what happens when we don’t have them, and why we’re not responsible for how others react when we hold our limits. I also offer 5 key ways to begin setting healthy boundaries in everyday life, and reflect on how strong boundaries can actually deepen connection rather than prevent it. To close, there’s a short guided meditation to help you feel grounded and safe in your own space - enjoy.  My links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/h.e.l.e.n.m.a.r.i.e?igsh=MXVsZHZwcTl2Zmppdw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr My book Choose You: https://lnk.to/ChooseyouHelenMarie SHOW SPONSORS: We are incredibly grateful for this show’s sponsor  https://peppersmith.co.uk/

    Episode 65 | The Power of Tapping (with Carol Look)

    Send us a text In this episode, I’m joined by the wonderful New York psychotherapist Carol Look to explore the power of EFT tapping and gratitude.  Research shows gratitude can lower stress, improve sleep, strengthen relationships, boost immunity, and increase overall well-being. Combined with tapping, it becomes an even more powerful tool for emotional and physical health. You’ll see Carol guide me through a tapping exercise and the results blew my mind - it literally eased my anxiety in the short session and left me feeling lighter and more grounded (free tapping resources for you to try at home from Carol linked below). If you’re curious about how gratitude and EFT tapping can help you feel calmer, more connected, and more energised, this episode is for you.

    Episode 64 | Gaslighting (Solo Episode)

    Send us a text Gaslighting is more than a social media pop psychology buzzword - it’s a subtle, painful way of distorting your reality and eroding your trust in yourself. So, in this episode, I help you explore what gaslighting is (and isn’t), why some people use it, why others are more vulnerable to it, and the deep impact it can have on your sense of self and mental health. I talk through everyday examples from relationships and family life, help guide you through what to do if you suspect you’re being gaslighted, and then offer you a grounding meditation to help you reconnect with your own truth.

    Episode 63 | Letting Go (Solo Episode)

    Send us a text Have you ever struggled to let go of someone, something, or a version of yourself you once loved? In this solo episode, I explore why letting go feels so hard, how our attachment styles shape the process, and the ways neuroscience can help us rewire old patterns. Using psychology theories, I’ll help walk you through some accessible steps to release the grip that not letting go can have on you - and create space for peace, freedom, and renewal. I’ve also included a meditation at the end of the episode.

    Episode 61 | The Relaxed Woman (with Nicola Jane Hobbs) [VIDEO]

    Send us a text In this episode, I sit down with psychologist Nicola Jane Hobbs to talk about her brilliant book The Relaxed Woman. You may have seen Nicola’s viral Instagram post where she shared that she grew up never knowing a relaxed woman. That powerful message struck a chord with so many - and it’s the starting point for this beautiful, thoughtful conversation. We explore what it means to reconnect with the relaxed woman within all of us, why so many of us feel constantly exhausted, what we stand to gain by embracing a more relaxed way of being, and the very real things that get in the way. I absolutely loved this conversation and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. The possibility of living a more relaxed life isn’t just personally transformative - it’s a gift we pass down to the generations that come after us. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s longing to step off the treadmill and begin living a life that feels softer, gentler, and more truly your own.
