Welcome to episode 39. Are you ready to go a bit deeper? This week I’m exploring three specific activities that can help you to dive deep below the surface of your busy mind, to help quieten the racing thoughts and find a deeper level of relaxation and release. These activities are Yoga Nidra, Floating and hypnosis. In this episode I explore my experience with each, explaining the many wonderful benefits, any potential bullshit elements and of course the mindset blocks that can hold us back from adding them to our toolkit.

In this episode:

My account of the activities and what you can expect from each of them.
Why the fear of what we’ll find often stops us from delving below the surface.
How the act of going below the conscious mind can often reveal areas that ‘need work’, and the steps you can take if this is you.

Pleasure | The No Bullsh*t Guide to a Happier Life

Welcome to episode 38. Today I’m talking about how pleasure, both sexual and non-sexual, fits into your toolkit for a happier life - and there’s a lot to dismantle, especially when it comes to sex. Ideas around pleasure being something we should all be entitled to is something I strongly uphold, but indulging ourselves to numb pain and ignore the bigger issues can throw up some red flags. Join me as I talk about the triggers, the needs and the outcomes of embracing pleasure as part of your toolkit for a happier life.

In this episode:

How our views on pleasure and indulgence are often shaped during our childhood – often with negative results, especially when it comes to sex.
Knowing the difference between using pleasure as a tool to address a genuine need, versus indulgent pleasure to block out feelings or numb ourselves of a deeper pain.
How society has built polarised stigma about how women should or shouldn’t experience sexual pleasure, and why it’s time to re-write your narrative so you can take pleasure in your body without the guilt.
