In this episode I explore why on earth adults revert to children when talking about food and drink! When a grown man talks about eating 'naughty food' I cannot stifle a loud and heart felt groan, really? I mean really? Naughty food, I was naughty....hang on a minute while I dust off the naughty step...come on, you are adults. Seriously though, is language we need to focus on, as kids and teens are picking this up and it's 'demonizing' certain types of food. I explain what 'BAD FOOD' really is and

2023/01/24

In this first episode of RAW CHATTER I talk about why having a 'Goal' or 'Target' weight is not as helpful as you many think but is! Social conditioning, diet programs and your GP may well tell you you need to set a goal and a time frae to get there, I say STOP doing that and you'll most likely get there far more easily...

nkedIniIn this episode Helen talks about the role of carers and caring for carers... Looking after others is something people are drawn to do, but when when looking after others means NOT having the time or energy to loo after yourself, it becomes a daily struggle. We are taught to "push through" or "keep going" but when the body and brain can't handle the stress, they WILL let you know.

2022/10/30

lterAIn this episode I am sols talking about how Discipline = Freedom and why we resist change. So many people talk and think about change being "hard" but I explain why that very thinking makes it so! I cover vibration, the law of reciprocity and energy and why we get what we focus on. The more you think about what you don't want, the more of that you are attracting to you in bucket loads! Changing the thinking by being aware ALL of the time is of your thoughts and calling BS on the ones you want

In this episode I am talking about labels... The 'ics' and 'isms' eg: Workoholic, perfectionism etc and looking at whether they keep us from creating the identity we really desire to have. Are the actually helpful? Or are they a 'get out clause' a way of letting ourselves of the hook and staying stuck...

2022/09/18

In this episode I talk about how we humans respond in a crisis by turning to external things like alcohol, cigarettes and food (among other things) and what we can try to focus on instaed. Its about us recognising that this economy is just part of the cycle of things, its happened before, we got through it, things will improve and then it will happen again, just like the pandemic, we only need to look at history. When we keep doing what we have done before to cope, sometimes we find out doesn't

2022/09/04

In this Short Solo Episode I talk about WHY we need to change the socially conditioned (schools, teachers, parents take note) if we are to help us al feel better about WHO we are. I talk about our self- worth NOT being linked to academic achievements and promotions, body size or shape or the amount of money, companies, homes, cars or 'stuff' you have! Comparing ourselves to others as a way of gauging your own worth is never going to be helpful, because its a short lived way of either feeling better

This is an important listen for people of all ages, genders and races - abuse can happen to

Episode 16: Grief and Gratitude

2022/08/07

In this episode I talk about just what we mean by grief, how its not a 'linear process' and is different for everyone. Whether you are dealing with a recent loss of a family member or friend or from years ago YOUR experience is your own. Honor your feelings, you don't have to know what you are feeling, just feel it and let it out what ever that looks like. Coming from a place of gratitude, though it may sound odd, I truly believe is they way to deal with grief over the long term. I do hope you

Episode 14: I go back to simplifying health and looking at how much of a role does food play in that.. It's that time of year when we become more body conscious, are probably being more active outdoors and may be concerned that we don't FEEL quite as healthy as we'd like to! We are all unique as individuals yet we do have similarities in how our brains and guts function. I pose the question just what is health? There isn't one answer, in fact there are no correct answers, its what does health

Episode 10 is personal and about a subject I am passionate about as it's affecting my own daughter, so this is aimed at EVERYONE, but especially those of you who are stuck in the INCORRECT delusional narrative that the customer is always right! NO, NO AND NO AGAIN! In fact the customer is usually wrong... It's a bit of a different subject to the things i normally talk about because I am talking about YOU as a customer and how you behave in shops, bars, restaurant, supermarkets, retail shops and
