Today I'm joined by Shlomit Liz Sanders - Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional to talk about how easy it is to fall into routines, the need to work on oneself to improve your partnership, becoming 'weather guy and handwash girl' and so much more...Shlomit has 10 years' experience in the field, working with high achieving individuals as well as couples - all of whom have either lost their way or who feel like things just "aren't right". In her work, Shlomit integrates neuroscience and psychotherapy as a method of helping clients to understand themselves and their needs, as well as how to express them confidently in order to get what they want out of life.Talking openly and honestly from both professional and personal experiences, Shlomit reminds all of us that the need for communication and co-operation in a partnership doesn't just go away once we get to know one another and the phrase "never stop dating each other" will stick with me for years to come.Check out Shlomit's work on the links below:HomeShlomit Liz Sanders Profile - ThrivingCampusShlomit Liz Sanders, LMFT - Alma

Episode 54 - Fuck The Script!
Today I'm joined by Rob McCarthy, author of 'Fuck The Script - How to Own Your Shit and Rewrite Your Story' - a self-help book that's not your average read. As Rob himself states "...you come for the title, you stay for the book".So many of us are consumed by the belief that success means having a newer car, a bigger house, flashier clothes and other trappings that signal to others that we've 'made it' - but it's an illusion, a hamster wheel designed to keep you wanting more and a game that you cannot win as there's always some shiny new toy that you just have to have. Then comes the debt, the stress, the sleepless nights - all in the name of trying to keep up with the Jones's...Rob's book isn't the fluffy arm around the shoulder and comforting "there there's" - it's the kick in the arse that we often need to wake up and ditch the bullshit and the maladaptive habits that keep you poor and unfulfilled.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/4aAdbPrTjEEnwco5jII65U?si=693a7408e31a46d2https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-harmony-time-to-talk/id1792776061Check out Rob's work on the below links:F*CK THE SCRIPT: How to Own Your $hit: A No-BS Self Help Book to Stop Caring What Others Think and Rebuild Your Life on Your Terms: McCarthy, R P: 9798263888534: Amazon.com: BooksR.P.

Episode 53 - Middle-Aged Men in Relationships Who Hate Themselves
Please don't let the title of the episode put you off - this is actually a story of hope. Today I'm joined by Mordy Gottlieb, chef-turned social worker turned therapist who works predominantly with men who are struggling in a number of ways and can't seem to find a way forward.Mordy works on the premise that there is always hope - you just can't see it yet and through connections - along with often painful lessons - we can craft a life that is fulfilling, based upon self-worth and understanding what success means to you.Mordy talks openly with me about his own journey - the shame, the self-fulfilling prophecies and the maladaptive behaviours that caused him to seek a path of turning that pain into strength.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/4aAdbPrTjEEnwco5jII65U?si=29320f2611e04376https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-harmony-time-to-talk/id1792776061Check out Mordy's work on the links below:Game Changer Grouphttps://youtu.be/l7ulLKNFE9c?si=5iuCSXkg6_ZDSma9https://youtu.be/KZnjq5npqZM?si=JcZuLl4Sujy6nV8A

Episode 52 - Are You Out There...?
Today I'm joined by Stacey Niedenthol, an evidentiary medium, psychic and published writer. We talk about her work since learning of her particular gifts 11 years ago after convincing herself that she was potentially schizophrenic before receiving guidance that opened her eyes in a number of ways.We discuss her journey from childhood to the present day, her troubled past, skepticism and not rising to negativity, parallels in everyday life and much more besides...While I have never felt drawn to the spiritual realms in the same way as Stacey, throughout our conversation I find a great deal of overlap in both my personal and professional life alongside a new willingness to pay attention to that which is around me - both seen and unseen...Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/4aAdbPrTjEEnwco5jII65U?si=34cd3feebfb64d8ahttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-harmony-time-to-talk/id1792776061Check out Stacey's work on the links below:www.connectingtospirit.comFacebookConnectingtoSpiritwithStacey - YouTube

Episode 51 - Natural Mystic
Today I'm joined by Joyce Holden Wheeler, owner and driving force behind Total Holistic Living, the company Joyce set up following startling discoveries in the aftermath of her husband becoming chronically ill.In 2009, Joyce's husband began to feel ill and was becoming increasingly fatigued and unwell. Following a series of incorrect diagnoses and discussions with doctors who seemed unwilling to dig deeper, by chance they discovered the source of the problem and much more besides.While looking into possible treatment options, Joyce became increasingly aware of the number of 'hidden toxins' within our food, cleaning products and hygiene items that are a staple in homes worldwide. Taking the decision to live a totally holistic life and promote a complete picture of health, Joyce and her family changed the way they ate, shopped and took care of themselves - and her husband's improving health gave further vindication of their decision.Having begun her business, Joyce made it her mission to educate others on the damage they are unknowingly doing to their health, while seeking out producers and providers who align with these values and look to promote a lifestyle free of over-processed and increasingly toxic products.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:https://open.spotify.com/show/4aAdbPrTjEEnwco5jII65U?si=3bcf710bee3241eehttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-harmony-time-to-talk/id1792776061To learn more about Joyce's work, click the links below:HOME | Total Holistic LivinBlog | Total Holistic LivinFacebook
Inspired by my own growth following a separation and subsequent look at my life. Coming from a male-centric point of view and hoping to encourage inner and outer harmony. Wellbeing, moving on, self-improvement and hopefully something that resonates with both men and women the world over.
