Social Harmony - Time to Talk

Today I'm joined by Dr. Matt Motchkavitz Ph.D, founder of The Excellence Incorporated Company to talk about the importance of goals - just in time to kick off 2026.Matt started the company with a mission to teach practical life skills and this is done via a variety of mediums including seminars, takeaway training programmes, events and tangible products such as books. These are currently provided across the United States with a view to take these teachings to a global audience.Matt talks of his beginnings in college while training to become a therapist and how he had never taken a class on personal development but circumstances took him in a different direction after becoming a single parent to his son, meaning that he never became a therapist but moved towards training and public speaking.We discuss the role of ego, self-esteem, array of distractions and so much more when looking at how to set goals that resonate with us, how to stay on track once your goals are identified, how regularly to review them as well as the importance of having fun and balance along the way.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.https://open.spotify.com/show/4aAdbPrTjEEnwco5jII65U?si=546ac484ebde4135https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/social-harmony-time-to-talk/id1792776061Check out Dr. Matt's work on the links below:The EI WebsiteThe EI Website

Today I'm joined by Petya Yordanova, the owner of 'You-Expanded Coaching' . Petya works with women to attract the love they deserve by focusing on that which is within - healing from past hurt, removing emotional blocks and allowing your true self to flourish in order to find someone who aligns with you rather than settling for an unsuitable partner or repeating old, negative patterns.Petya and I examine how past trauma can show up in relationships, often unnoticed and keeps us locked in cycles that perpetuate unhappiness or the feeling that something is missing. We talk honestly and openly about our own lives, using examples of our own relationship struggles before taking steps to love and appreciate ourselves in order to attract that which works.As a student of Katherine Woodward Thomas, Petya brings a transformational style that incorporates what is unique about YOU into a coaching model that highlights the positives whilst bringing about a greater self-awareness which will benefit your love life in addition to how you show up in the world.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Petya's work on the links below:Finally Find Love | Relationship Coaching for Women | You.Expanded CoachingYou.Expanded Coaching - Create the Love You Desire | Facebook

I'm joined today by Dominique Favreau - an artist, growth advocate and presenter of the Coconut Soul Podcast to discuss a myriad of topics including vulnerability, self-love, personal growth and so much more...Dominique AKA Nikky, supports people in the move to become 'Soulpreneurs' in that she helps them to discard the unnecessary and sometimes toxic baggage that accumulates in life over time with a view to living a more fulfilled life and "being vulnerable enough to love yourself"As part of this, we look at things such as shame, mistrust, fear and perfectionism which manifest as getting in our own way and adding to the stressors already present in modern life. As both of us are fans of the 'no BS' approach, we draw on our own experiences and the mistakes within to demonstrate that the path through life is not a simple one and that it's expected that we will make mistakes - something that we seem to often forget when judging ourselves.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Nikky's work on the links below:Self love story of “Being vulnerable enough to love yourself” - Nikky & Patrick Coconut Soul PodcastDominique Favreau, M.A. | LinkedInhttps://youtu.be/R7uf61USr1c?si=Vya1F3porbXa1EzV

Today I'm joined by Alexander J. Ward, musician, advocate and the face of the People Helping People podcast, which looks to do good things in the community whilst also showcasing people from all walks of life who are adding positively to the lives of those around them.Alexander talks with me about his own origin story and how he came to be in the position he currently sits - a life that includes having to step too early to be the peacekeeper, his shock diagnosis of both Type-1 Diabetes and Crohn's Disease and how the impact of this spurred him on to advocate for those in need while rebuilding both his body and his outlook on what life held for him.Honest, open and unashamedly vulnerable throughout, we talk of our own struggles, lessons learnt, what it looks like to be a masculine man in the modern world and so much more...Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Alexander's work on the links below:People Helping People - YouTubehttps://open.spotify.com/album/0vwfJWxi5SngfDLTr3mlFy?si=e1MZhirnT1qYmwBggk5-mQInstagramPeople helping people on BetterWorld

In today's episode I speak with Adam Meyers - a serving Police Officer (now Captain) of 23 years and founder of 'Stop The Threat, Stop The Stigma'.In 2016, Adam was on a routine call which turned into much more - resulting in him using his service weapon and the loss of life. While to those on the outside this may be seen as just another day on the job but for Adam the aftermath of the event led him to a deep depression and self-numbing with alcohol, drugs and casual sex to mask the pain that was underneath - a pain that he was not attending to.Adam's subsequent termination, year of recovery and return to the force all served as important lessons and led to the formation of 'Stop The Threat, Stop The Stigma' - an organisation that encourages first responders to acknowledge the cumulative trauma from the situation faced daily and seek the appropriate supports - but also encouraging a culture that makes it normal for people to reach out without shame.Available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.Check out Adam's work on the links below:Stop The Threat - Stop The Stigma |"Stop the Threat - Stop the Stigma" with Adam Meyers(2) Facebook
