    Stories Your Family Has Been Meaning to Tell: An Interview With Neil Taylor

    Send us Fan Mail If you're in the position where you still have a parent, or both parents, alive and well - this episode poses the question - how well do you really know them? Not just as mum or dad - but as people, with their own stories, struggles and choices. After losing his father, our guest on today's episode - Neil Taylor, realised something most of us avoid. He'd run out of time to ask his dad the things that truly mattered. Since then, he's dedicated his life to capturing parent's stories that would potentially be lost forever through his work - Me & My Old Man This is a beautiful (and sometimes difficult) conversation about family, legacy and healing - and why making time is truly transformative. We also want to acknowledge that some of you listening may have already lost a parent, so understandably this episode might feel a little raw and potentially reflective. So please listen with care and self compassion.

    Separation After Infidelity: A Guide To Moving Forward With Self Compassion

    Send us Fan Mail Today we’re tackling a tricky subject - separation after infidelity…  This episode was inspired by a workshop we were asked to run for a corporate client on the subject, and despite the tough emotional angle, we were blown away by the engagement from participants, so we thought we’d share what we talked about here. This isn’t about blame or picking apart what went wrong. It’s about recognising that when trust is broken, it doesn’t just affect the relationship - it shakes our sense of self, safety and reality. You might be feeling everything right now… anger, confusion - perhaps even relief...or nothing at all. In this episode, we’ll try to help you make sense of what you’re feeling so you can start finding your footing again. It’s not about having all the answers, but about being compassionate as you move along your own individual journey of healing. We're by no means 'experts', but we have been through this ourselves - and coached many clients through their own separation challenges. So we hope this episode helps you feel seen, heard and understood.

    Raising Teens: From Conflict To Connection - Interview with Dr Suzanne Simpson

    Send us Fan Mail If you’re in midlife and raising teenagers, you’ll know it can sometimes feel like you’re living with a complete stranger.  One minute they’re the child who used to tell you everything… and the next they’re behind a closed door, headphones in and phone glued to their hand. It can leave even the most loving, well-meaning parent wondering: am I getting this right? In this episode we’re joined by Dr Suzanne Simpson, who has spent years working with teenagers in educational and psychiatric settings. She shares powerful insights into what our teens really need from us right now - and it might not be what you think.  We talk about why connection matters more than perfection, how curiosity builds trust, and why the small moments of presence between parent and child matter far more than any clever tools and techniques. If you sometimes feel unsure how to reach your teenager, how to set boundaries around technology, or how to keep the lines of communication open… this conversation is one you won’t want to miss. https://www.drsuzannesimpson.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsuzannesimpson/ Support the show Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

    The GLP-1 Revolution: Upacking The Real Story, With Dr Max Pemberton & Dr Courtney Raspin

    Send us Fan Mail Today we’re joined by Dr Max Pemberton and Dr Courtney Raspin, authors of The Weight Loss Prescription, to unpack one of the most talked-about health shifts of our time: GLP-1 weight-loss medications. Are they a miracle? A medical breakthrough? Or a shortcut that risks creating new problems? In this conversation we explore what happens when you remove someone’s primary coping mechanism, food, and why anxiety, low mood or even addiction can surface if the psychological work isn’t done alongside the medical treatment.  We tackle the tension between body positivity and health reality, the stigma and secrecy around using weight-loss medication, and why midlife with its hormonal shifts, muscle loss and bone health concerns changes the equation entirely. Most importantly, this is a compassionate, non-judgemental discussion. It’s an honest look at what these medications can - and can’t - do, and how to approach weight loss with both medical insight and psychological support. Whether you’re on the medication, considering it or just interesting in the impact of GLP1’s beyond weight loss, you’re not going to want to miss this.
