Every healer I’ve met has said the same thing: self love is the key to it all. If you’re anything like I was a few years ago, you might find that well and good, but are lost when it comes to HOW to love yourself… …you attend. The highest form of love is to attend to yourself. To be, honour and listen to yourself without judgement. It’s often not easy In this episode: Pushing myself out of my comfort zone in Bali A recap of my 2023 - which was a mess How sharin...

Ep. 6 From Selling Alcohol to Teaching Yoga, Breathwork and Meditation: Why My Career is Devoted to Helping You to be Still
The practices that I teach have changed my life, they saved me. And they’ve saved so many others. I never in a million years thought I would be devoting my life to encouraging people to learn to breathe deeply and to do less and be still. But here we are! In my opinion, meditation is THE most beneficial skill for self love, connection and health but many of us find it very difficult to learn. The problem is that we can't hear our own inner voice, our own inner desires, our dreams, because the thoughts are so...

Ep. 5 How I Went From Hating Yoga to Embracing its Power to Reduce Symptoms of Complex PTSD

In this episode: My travels and very nearly NOT getting into Bali! Why I hated the idea of yoga and how my...

Ep. 4 Keeping Death Close: My Journey with Grief and Learning How to Cope with Losing Loved Ones

Ep. 3 Wear the Fucking Condom! Why our Sexual Health is Worsening Each Year as STIs Spread
I’ve created this episode for heterosexual men and woman because I want you all to have great sex. It might be quite triggering for some. Casual sex and contraception are relatively very new to humans in the grand scheme of things. We are now able to have sex for pleasure, with the option to take measures against STIs and unwanted pregnancies. Yet the statistics show that we are not looking after our sexual health. This episode explores why. In this episode: The widely researched issue of men no...
