Fiona Apple: MTV Series (VIDEO)
This week I bring you a video version of last year’s MTV Summer series. 2025 marked the end of MTV as we know it, although it is not completely wiped from the airwaves. I wanted to mark its cultural demise with a bang—more specifically, the fondled trigger of Fiona Apple’s gun. The video vixens, like Alicia Silverstone and Erin Everly, who lit up the visuals for rock gods, are the sisters of the siren writhing on the floor, mouthing vitriolic truths about gender dynamics.

On Getting Stuck Doing It All Yourself
For this final episode of 2025, I tuned in to ask the question - what might be standing in the way of your goals for the upcoming year? And this is what I got - the tendency to get stuck in trying to figure it all out on your own and a lack of openness required to bring in support. It all comes down to trust. Many of us don't trust that we will be accepted by others when our vulnerabilities are on display. We keep a protective barrier up...

On Food and Self Sabotage / Understanding your eating patterns
You are what you eat - in many ways, quite literally. That which goes into your body is responsible for the energy you create. The energy you create is responsible for the life you build for yourself. Our subconscious fears have a sneaky way of taking a hold of our eating behaviors, which, ultimately, can sabotage the goals and desires we are consciously working towards. This unintentionally creates an energetic battle - the conscious mind is pushing us into action toward our goals, while our poor eating patterns are pulling us back and holding...

Despite the best intentions, our mind and our ego aren’t always operating in our best interest. When we are facing fear on our path (a good indication you are headed in the right direction), we are prone to the mental challenges of comparison and judgement.

Though when we have the courage to do so, we are best set up to push past the fear and take the kinds of risks that can help us create true change in...

Podcast #10: Harry Burnett, Last Man Hanged in Scotland
This week, Dr Fiona-Jane Brown looks at the sensational and controversial murder case of Thomas Guyan, shot dead at point blank range by his wife's lover, Harry Burnett.

Medical evidence at the time suggesting Harry had neurological issues which caused his "psychopathic personality" was rejected by trial judge, Lord Wheatley. Today it would appear Harry Burnett would have been treated very differently, and perhaps have still been alive. Public support was on his side at the time, and Margaret Guyan, Tommy's unfaithful wife was dubbed a "femme fata...
