Session one: Introduction

03/29/22 • 23 min

In starting this podcast, my aim is to help as many people as possible walk taller, shine brighter and start to thrive, instead of just survive. This episode is packed with ideas of things we can all do to help ourselves, I describe some of the bumps that got in my way and kept me small and explain details of the things that helped me transform. All of these things can be done by anyone, irrespective of where they are on their journey

Scott Broadhurst Thai Chi and Qi Gong Instructor (#4)

Brief summary of the episode:
Scott talks about his early life of being bullied which led to him suffering with anxiety although he describes finding and following the Taoist philosophy helped him overcome the long standing anxiety and unhelpful habits he’d adopted, prompting him to feel calm and much less stressed in his day to day life as well as helping him recognise friendships that weren’t healthy which in turn made space for an expansion of his friendship circle and fulfilling work. Scott talks of his work as a Thai chi and qi gong instructor, the philosophies of the Taoist ways and outlines how these can also help you.
