Today I'm joined by Dr. Jennifer Schlueter, a trauma-informed certified hypnotherapist who incorporates emotional freedom techniques, neuro-linguistic programming and breathwork into her practice to shift mental blocks that are in the way of physical, spiritual and mental wellbeing.Jenny was formerly in a high-achieving corporate role and was doing very well professionally but her personal life was unravelling and she knew something was missing. After visiting a hypnotherapist in search of answers, she made the decision to move to Paris (and has since lived in a number of other countries) and change her trajectory.In her current role, Jenny has worked with hundreds of clients and helped them navigate psychological and physiological conditions including depression, endometriosis, chronic pain and several more. Her work has also brought her to the teachings of 'Human Design' which has informed not only her professional life but also how she shows up in the world.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Jenny's work on the links below:mindyoursubconscious.comhttps://youtu.be/4syD1Idj9LQ?si=MT1ETW_67sFUjlMMFacebookAnd learn more about Human Design on the link below:Get Your Human Design Chart - a Human Design

Episode 58 - Rewire and Refire
Today I'm joined by James McCambridge, a movement coach specialising in the brain and nervous system and owner of Rewire Neuro Dynamics to discuss his work - in particular the principles of neuroplasticity and the real-world implications in relation to recovery from injury, skill acquisition, moving away from bad habits and mental wellbeing.Throughout our conversation, James brings science-backed strategies for improving brain function to the forefront using relatable language and describing tested methods for success that have life-changing impacts and in some cases can be incredibly simple. I was amazed by what I learned in just a one-hour conversation and James' knowledge and attention to detail had me fascinated throughout.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts:Check out James' work on the links below:Rewire Neuro DynamicsRewire Neuro Dynamics - YouTubeFacebook

Episode 57 - Man in the Mirror
In preparation for International Men's Day on 19th of November, I'm joined by David Maywald - author of 'The Relentless War on Masculinity - Does it Ever End?' and driving force behind 'Celebrating Masculinity'David discusses his book and the research behind it that backs up what many of us have been seeing in society for decades - that boys and men are falling behind women in education, employment, physical health outcomes, mental wellbeing and much more. Further to this, we look at gaps in society that are failing young men and boys such as a need for role modelling, no real purpose in life, a coddled environment that does not support the attainment of manhood and a move towards gynocentric philosophies and provision of services.David's passion for his work shines through and his efforts to seek change that supports empowerment of masculine and feminine alongside one another for the betterment of all is truly inspiring. Looking to provide positive solutions rather than blindly accepting tired narratives, David calls on men and society as a whole to advocate for initiatives that support men, women and the family unit as the current levels of detachment, depression, suicide and reduced outcomes are clearly not moving us in the right direction.To check out David's work, click the links below:The Relentless War on Masculinity: Does it Ever End? eBook : Maywald, David: Amazon.com.au: BooksFacebookCelebrating Masculinity (@CelebrateMales) / XCelebrating Masculinity | SubstackDavid Maywald | The Australian

Episode 56 - Coming Up
Today I'm joined by Mandy who talks firstly about her battle against a 16-year addiction to cocaine and her subsequent recovery, alongside her efforts to rebalance herself whilst also battling a nervous breakdown and serious depression.Mandy had - in her own words - what we would call a 'normal' childhood that, while including some bumps in the road was relatively happy. At the age of 12 she first began smoking cannabis and this progressed in the manner of youthful curiosity towards harder drugs that eventually took over in a number of ways.Told with honesty and emotion, Mandy walks us through her life of partying, to the point where she decided to move away from drug use, the slip-up's and successes, learning about how the body functions with a view to healing herself and much more in between. Ultimately Mandy's story is one of hope, self-belief and the realisation that "there's a lot of beauty in this world if you just look".Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.To check out Mandy's work, click the links below:mandyalexismotivation.caInstagram(1) Facebook

Episode 55 - Stand By Me
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
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.
