    In this episode, I’m joined by Christopher Seward, a documentary filmmaker and editor whose work includes Fahrenheit 9/11, Sicko, Ariel Phenomenon, One Child Nation, and more than 40 documentary films. Christopher’s work sits at the intersection of truth, emotion, curiosity, and perspective. As an editor, he has spent much of his career helping shape complex, difficult, and often confronting stories into films that people can actually watch, feel, and understand. This conversation explores the craft of documentary storytelling, but it also goes much deeper than film. We talk about curiosity as a way of moving through the world, the difference between facts and emotional truth, the role of humour in difficult stories, and why being seen may be one of the deepest human needs we all share. Christopher also shares his own life story, from growing up surrounded by art, nature, and service, to serving in the Navy, spending time on the Navajo reservation, studying cinematography at NYU, and building a life rooted in community, gratitude, nature, and creative purpose.

    How to Build a More Adaptable Nervous System with Dr Aarti Soorya

    In this episode, Dr Aarti Soorya explores the nervous system not as something to “fix,” but as something to understand, listen to, and work with. Aarti trained as a physician, became chief resident, and then moved into functional medicine after feeling that conventional medicine was missing something deeper. But even functional medicine, with its labs, supplements, and protocols, didn’t fully answer the questions she was asking. Her own experience with insomnia, fatigue, and feeling out of alignment led her toward nervous system work, yoga nidra, and a more compassionate understanding of the body. Together, we explore what happens when the body gets stuck in survival mode, and why symptoms like anxiety, fatigue, digestive issues, low mood, brain fog, insomnia, people-pleasing, and shutdown can all be signs of a nervous system that no longer feels safe. Aarti explains the vagus nerve, fight, flight, freeze and fawn responses, and why stress itself isn’t always the problem. The real issue is whether we can recover. Rather than simply “managing stress,” she invites us to think about adaptability: the ability to be with our own physiology without fear, and to gently build capacity over time. This conversation is also full of practical, grounded tools. We talk about yoga nidra, breath, posture, cold exposure, movement, blood sugar stability, rest, play, creativity, connection, and why joy is not a luxury, but part of a resilient system. At its heart, this is a conversation about learning to stop fighting the body and start listening to it. Because sometimes the symptom is not the enemy. Sometimes it is the message. Episode Highlights What the nervous system is and how it shapes how we think, feel, and respond to lifeThe difference between coping, stress management, and true adaptabilityHow chronic stress can contribute to insomnia, fatigue, gut issues, anxiety, and low moodA simple explanation of the vagus nerve and why it matters for overall healthThe four common stress responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawnWhy symptoms may be messages from the body rather than signs that something is wrongHow yoga nidra helped Aarti recover from insomnia and burnoutPractical tools for building a more resilient nervous systemThe role of joy, play, dance, and connection in healingWhy rest is essential for creativity, repair, and long-term wellbeing Chapters 00:00 Adaptability and learning to feel safe in your body02:19 Aarti’s journey from medicine to nervous system work06:31 Insomnia, burnout, and the missing piece in healing09:46 Understanding the nervous system in plain English14:51 Cortisol, chronic stress, and why symptoms appear17:15 The difference between coping and true adaptability20:49 Signs your nervous system may be dysregulated28:23 Fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and “functional freeze”31:10 How yoga nidra helped Aarti recover from insomnia38:08 Healing without overhauling your whole life41:47 Why joy, play, creativity, and connection matter42:16 Sleep, safety, and listening to your body46:33 Cold exposure, breath, and building resilience53:37 Epigenetics, lifestyle, and personal agency59:49 Dance, movement, and coming back to joy Guest Bio Dr Aarti Soorya is an integrative medicine practitioner and physician whose work brings together conventional medicine, functional medicine, lifestyle interventions, nutrition, neuroplasticity, and Yoga Nidra. She is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and has completed functional medicine training. Through Jiya Health, Dr Soorya helps people understand the nervous system, build physiological resilience, and use practices like Yoga Nidra, nervous system mapping, and lifestyle changes to support long-term health and adaptability.

    Play is the Compass with Denise Chapman Weston

    Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, and deeply imaginative thinker whose work invites us to look again at one of the most misunderstood parts of being human: play. In Part 2 of this conversation, Denise takes us beyond the story of her own childhood promise and into the deeper question of what play actually is. Not just fun. Not just recreation. Not just something children do before they grow up. For Denise, play is one of the clearest ways we can understand who we are, what comes naturally to us, and how we find our way back to ourselves. She shares a simple but powerful exercise: remember how you played when you were around seven. What did you love doing before you were trying to be impressive, productive, sensible, or useful? Maybe you built things, made up stories, climbed trees, dressed up, organised objects, created worlds, or found joy in something no one else quite understood. Denise believes those memories are not random. They hold clues about your natural skills, your instincts, and the way you were already learning to belong in the world. This conversation moves through so many unexpected places: Tupperware lids, Disney Imagineers, bone flutes, punch cards, theme parks, magic wands, technology, imagination, and what Denise calls the “arm pretzel” — the person who is physically present, but not yet ready to join in. Through it all, Denise returns to a beautiful idea: play is not separate from life. It is woven through how we invent, connect, create, remember, and become more fully human. At its heart, this episode is about play as wisdom. It is an invitation to look back at what once delighted you, not with nostalgia, but with curiosity. Because the way you played may still have something to teach you. In This Episode, You’ll Discover Why play is much more than fun, recreation, or something children doHow the way you played at seven may reveal something about who you areWhy childhood memories can hold clues about your natural skills and instinctsWhat a Disney leader’s love of matching Tupperware revealed about her workHow play, music, invention, and technology are more connected than we thinkWhy some of humanity’s greatest inventions may have begun with pleasure and playHow Denise moved from therapy rooms to museums, toys, attractions, and theme parksWhy imagination is our “original operating system”What Denise means by the “arm pretzel” and why reluctant participants matterHow play can help us remember what makes us human Chapters 00:00 Denise on wisdom, AI, and play as a skill01:31 What role does play have in living a bountiful life?03:28 What childhood play can reveal about your skills05:58 The Disney Tupperware story10:12 Play as a compass13:34 What is play?16:45 Bone flutes, punch cards, code, and invention24:11 Remembering what you loved to do29:03 Denise’s work with theme parks and large-scale play experiences33:10 Imagination as our original operating system36:48 The “arm pretzel”41:18 What to do if you are in an arm pretzel moment43:22 Quickfire round47:50 Denise turns the questions back on Sian Guest Bio Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, author, and Adjunct Professor at Purdue University.

    Never Stop Playing with Denise Chapman Weston

    Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, and deeply imaginative thinker whose life has been shaped by a promise she made to herself as a child: never stop playing. In Part 1 of this conversation, Denise shares the origin story behind that promise. Growing up in Chicago with a Shriner clown for a father, she was surrounded by humour, imagination, and a sense that life did not have to be taken too seriously. But at around six years old, she felt something begin to shift. As children move towards adulthood, magical thinking often starts to fade. Standing on her bed and looking into the mirror, Denise made a serious promise to herself that she would never fully let go of play. That promise became a through-line in her life. Denise went on to work as a therapist, specialising in play therapy, before becoming an inventor with more than 150 patents. She describes invention as a process of both retreating inward and returning outward — noodling, wallowing, absorbing information, then testing ideas in the world to see whether they create connection. A central theme of this episode is Denise’s belief that technology should not replace human connection, but serve it. While many people see technology and AI as something to fear, Denise sees them as a kind of magic — powerful tools that need wisdom, intention, and human-centred design. Her “magic campfire” invention reflects this philosophy: a technology-enabled gathering place designed to bring people together, amplify storytelling, and create belonging. At its heart, this episode is about childhood imagination, creative courage, invention, and what it means to stay connected to the playful, curious, possibility-filled parts of ourselves. It is the story of how Denise became Denise — and why she believes play, technology, and human connection are far more intertwined than we might think. In This Episode The promise Denise made to herself at six years old to never stop playingHow growing up with a Shriner clown for a father shaped her imaginationWhat it means to be a PlayologistHow Denise moved from therapy and play therapy into inventionWhy noodling and wallowing are part of her creative processHow she thinks about solitude, belonging, and idea developmentWhy Denise sees technology and AI as magic, not something to fearThe idea behind her “magic campfire” inventionWhy she believes technology should serve human connection, not replace itHow play, imagination, invention, and wisdom all connect Chapters 00:00 Denise on the promise she made to never stop playing 01:52 Welcome to Denise’s extraordinary home 02:16 Growing up in Chicago with a Shriner clown for a dad 04:55 The promise Denise made to herself at six years old 08:02 What it means to live a bountiful life 09:55 Belonging, solitude, and the creative process 12:57 Wallowing, noodling, and invention 15:12 How Denise gets in and out of her own head 19:38 What she would tell her 25-year-old self 21:03 What it means to be a Playologist 23:20 Why Denise sees technology as magic 25:59 AI, wisdom, and the human side of technology 31:08 The magic campfire invention 38:15 Why technology should connect people to people 40:42 Reclaiming what it means to be human Guest Bio Denise Chapman Weston is a Playologist, therapist, inventor, author, and Adjunct Professor at Purdue University.

    Don't Give Up On Old People: Why I'm Not Done Yet with Andrew Middleton

    For a lot of people, getting older does not feel like winding down. It feels like being pushed to the edges before you are ready. In this episode, Andrew Middleton shares what happened after a LinkedIn post about turning 66 unexpectedly resonated with thousands of people who felt exactly the same. What followed was not just a viral moment, but the beginning of a much bigger conversation about age, work, relevance, and the quiet shock of realising the world may be starting to see you differently before you see yourself that way. At the heart of this conversation is Andrew’s idea of the INDY: I’m Not Done Yet. It is both a phrase and a growing community for people who know they still have something to contribute, even as traditional career paths begin to narrow. We talk about the emotional reality of ageing in the workplace, the loss of status that can come with later career life, and the experience of being made to feel invisible, sidelined, or quietly moved on before you are ready. Andrew speaks with honesty about his own journey through this, and the deeper challenge of working out who you are when the old identity no longer fits. We also explore what happens next. For many people, this stage of life leads not to full retirement, but to something much more mixed, uncertain, and unexpectedly creative. Andrew shares how many find themselves becoming their own boss, building portfolio careers, learning new skills, trying new things, and earning money in ways they never expected. It is not always easy, but it can open up a very different kind of freedom. A big part of the episode centres on Andrew’s idea of “soft retirement” and what he calls the dangerous decade: that stretch of later working life where the old script starts to break down, but the new one has not yet been written. We talk about rethinking life in four quarters, the reality that we are living longer, and the possibility that this stage of life can still be useful, expansive, and full of possibility. Rather than seeing later life as one long holiday, Andrew makes the case for something richer: a third quarter shaped by contribution, reinvention, and the freedom to do things differently. Episode Highlights • Why “I’m not done yet” became a rallying cry • The shock of feeling sidelined before you are ready • Ageing, relevance, and the loss of identity at work • What to do when your old role no longer fits • Why later life often means becoming your own boss • Portfolio careers, side hustles, and unexpected reinvention • Learning new skills and staying open to change • The “dangerous decade” before traditional retirement • Soft retirement versus stopping cold • Why living longer changes the whole picture • Health, money, relationships, and planning for the third quarter • A more hopeful vision for what comes next Timestamps 00:01:22 The post that sparked a global conversation 00:04:01 I’m Not Done Yet and the birth of INDY 00:08:53 From corporate life to self-employment 00:14:15 Identity, ego, and feeling invisible 00:19:09 Portfolio careers and unexpected reinvention 00:27:45 Why retirement needs a rethink 00:32:26 Soft retirement and the third quarter of life 00:36:50 Health, money, relationships, and planning for what matters 00:50:07 What generations can learn from each other 00:56:22 Reinvention, freedom, and possibility Guest Bio Andrew Middleton is the founder of INDY, I’m Not Done Yet, a community for people over 50 exploring purpose, relevance, and what comes next. He has a background in corporate and charity leadership and now works as a consultant, writer, and speaker focused on later-life work and reinvention. https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcmiddleton/ https://www.imnotdoneyet.co.uk/ Bountifull Podcast Bountifull is a personal growth and wellbeing podcast exploring joy, resilience, purpose, health, relationships, and meaningful living through thoughtful conversations with experts, creatives, and interesting people from diverse backgrounds.

    How to Build a Healthy Relationship with Eri Kardos

    In this episode of the Bountifull Podcast, I’m joined by Eri Kardos, a relationship coach and founder of Relearn Love, for a practical and honest conversation about what it actually takes to build healthy, connected relationships. Eri challenges the idea that we should instinctively know how to do relationships well. Instead, she frames them as a skill set most of us were never taught. From communication and boundaries to intimacy and conflict, we explore what it means to learn love consciously rather than relying on patterns shaped early in life. A big part of the conversation focuses on communication. How do you say what you actually mean in a way someone can hear? And how do you listen without jumping to defend or fix? Eri shares simple but powerful tools, like inviting someone into a conversation, being clear about what you need, and creating space to truly be heard. We also unpack the idea that not everyone communicates or processes in the same way. Some people think out loud, others need time. Some are direct, others more indirect. Understanding these differences can remove a huge amount of friction and make relationships feel a lot easier. Conflict is another key theme. Rather than something to avoid, Eri reframes it as an opportunity for connection. Most arguments are not about what’s happening in the moment, but about old patterns being triggered. When you start to see it that way, you can approach conflict as a team rather than opponents. At its core, this episode is about taking responsibility for how we show up in relationships. Learning the skills, letting go of assumptions, and creating something that feels supportive, energising, and genuinely good to be in. Episode Highlights Why most people were never taught how to build healthy relationshipsThe core communication skills that help you feel heard and understoodHow to listen with presence instead of reacting or defendingWhy inviting someone into a conversation changes everythingUnderstanding internal vs external processors and direct vs indirect communicationHow unspoken expectations create tension in relationshipsWhy conflict is often about old wounds, not the present momentReframing conflict as a way to build connection and repairThe role of boundaries, intimacy, and keeping relationships feeling aliveLove labs, experimentation, and keeping relationships playful and juicy Timestamps 00:00 Why relationships are a skill we’re never taught03:00 Eri’s background and journey into relationship coaching10:00 Communication and how to be clearly heard18:00 Listening, presence, and creating space for connection26:00 Personality styles and how people process differently34:00 The Relearn Love framework43:00 Relationship agreements and expectations50:00 Conflict and learning how to fight well56:00 Practical tools for navigating conflict in real time Guest Bio Eri Kardos is a relationship coach, speaker, and founder of Relearn Love, a global platform helping people build healthier, more connected relationships.

    The Human Side of Work with Carylynn Larson

    In this episode of the Bountifull Podcast, I’m joined by Carylynn Larson, an organizational psychologist, executive coach, and mental health advocate, for a deeply important conversation about mental health in the workplace, stigma, leadership, and what it really means to create environments where people can thrive. Carylynn shares her own personal journey with an eating disorder and reflects on how that experience shaped both her life and her work. We talk about the reality that mental health is not binary — it exists on a spectrum from thriving to despair — and how many people are quietly struggling while trying to appear “fine.” We also explore why work can so often become a place where people feel pressure to perform rather than a place that supports people, not just performance. A big part of this conversation centres on the idea of healing communities — not in a fluffy or abstract sense, but in the practical, everyday ways we can show up for each other with care, listening, vulnerability, and courage. We also unpack burnout, emotional detachment, shame, and the kinds of environments that can either support us or slowly wear us down. We also explore how to navigate difficult conversations with candour and care, particularly when there are power dynamics at play, and how to raise concerns without being dismissed or labelled as “difficult.” In This Episode, You’ll Discover: Why mental health is not binary — and how most of us move between thriving, coping, and quietly strugglingWhat burnout and emotional detachment can really look like at work — especially in people who appear “fine” on the surfaceHow workplace culture shapes wellbeing — and why some environments support us while others slowly wear us downWhy stigma and shame keep so many people silent — even when help is availableWhat “healing community” actually means — and why care and accountability need to go hand in handHow to notice when someone might be struggling — and what genuine support can look like in practiceHow to have difficult conversations with candour and care — without avoiding the hard stuffWhat to consider when there are power imbalances at work — and how to raise concerns thoughtfullyWhy listening, vulnerability, and small moments of care matter more than we thinkHow the way we show up affects the people around us — for better or worse Chapters 00:00 – Why mental health at work matters more than we think02:14 – Carylynn’s background in organizational psychology and leadership07:39 – Her personal mental health journey and lived experience with an eating disorder14:42 – The current state of mental health in the workplace16:12 – Why mental health exists on a spectrum, not as a binary20:23 – What workplace care actually looks like in practice27:30 – How to raise concerns without being labelled “difficult”31:07 – Dynamic leadership and supporting people differently at different times33:42 – Stigma, shame, and why people often don’t ask for help44:11 – What Carylynn means by “healing communities”53:09 – Small ways leaders can create more human workplaces56:08 – How to be a bridge for someone who might be struggling57:59 – A powerful story about noticing, support, and what can change when people care1:06:17 – Quickfire questions1:08:51 – Final reflections on the impact we have on each other Guest Bio Carylynn Larson is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, speaker, and mental health advocate focused on leadership, workplace culture, and wellbeing.

    Why a Good Life Cannot Be Rushed: The Power of Slow with Carl Honoré

    This week on the Bountifull Podcast, I sit down with Carl Honoré, the bestselling author who helped bring the Slow Movement into the mainstream, for a conversation that feels deeply timely. We explore why so many of us are rushing through our lives, where our obsession with speed actually comes from, and what it’s quietly costing us in the process. From memory and creativity to relationships, health, joy, and even intimacy, this episode is a powerful reminder that many of the best things in life simply cannot be rushed. What I love about Carl’s work is that “slow” is not about opting out of ambition, throwing your phone in a river, or moving to the countryside to grow organic carrots. It’s not about doing everything slowly. It’s about learning how to do things at the right pace, or what musicians call tempo giusto — the correct tempo for each moment. Knowing when to lean in, when to rest, when to be fully present, and how to stop treating every part of life like something to optimise, measure, or race through. This conversation is full of thoughtful, practical, and often unexpectedly funny reflections on modern life: the history of clocks, the “virus of hurry”, why busyness can become a form of avoidance, and how slowing down might actually help us live more fully, love more deeply, and remember our lives better. If you've been feeling overstretched, overbooked, or like life has become a bit of a blur, or you're already rethinking how you move through life, this is a conversation worth your time. Highlights Why so many of us confuse busyness with living wellCarl’s wake-up call and the moment he realised he was rushing through lifeWhere our obsession with speed, time, and productivity actually comes fromWhy slowness is not laziness, giving up, or opting out of ambitionThe idea of tempo giusto and finding the right pace for each part of lifeHow speed affects memory, creativity, pleasure, relationships, and healthWhy busyness can become a way of avoiding the deeper questions of lifePractical ways to slow down, including walking, journaling, boundaries, and saying noWhat modern work gets wrong about pace, productivity, and performanceWhy some of the most meaningful parts of life simply cannot be rushed Chapters  00:00 Why slowness is actually pleasurable 02:35 How did we get so busy? 05:57 The bedtime story that changed Carl’s life 08:02 What life looked like before slowing down 09:37 Why speed makes life feel blurry 11:38 How Carl became the face of slow living 13:57 What it means to live a bountiful life 14:48 What Carl would tell his 25-year-old self 16:14 Slow living is not what you think 18:11 The invention of time and the rise of hurry 24:27 How to change your relationship with time 29:17 Walking as a tool for clarity 31:30 Why you need a not-to-do list 33:28 How to slow down without giving up ambition 36:53 Can you have both success and balance? 37:58 Carl’s real-life slow living experiments 40:48 The hidden cost of always being “on” 44:45 Is slow living only for privileged people? 47:21 Slowing down in love, sex, and relationships 52:32 Why the best parts of life can’t be measured 53:13 Are we forgetting how to connect? 55:25 Why young people are drawn to slow living 59:32 What Italy gets right about life Guest Bio  Carl Honoré is a bestselling author, broadcaster, and two-time TED speaker, widely regarded as the voice of the Slow Movement. His first book, In Praise of Slow, has been published in 36 languages, and the Financial Times described it as “to the Slow Movement what Das Kapital is to communism.” He has since written five more books, including The Slow Fix, Bolder, and Under Pressure. His online keynotes have racked up more than 10 million views. www.carlhonore.info Bountifull Podcast  Bountifull is a podcast about living a joyful and meaningful life.
