Your Fear Isn't the Truth With Carly Taylor

Hardiness with Dr Paul Taylor ·

2026/09/27

Most of the fear we live with isn't physical. It's the old thinking we carry from past experiences: the fear of criticism, of not being good enough, of getting it wrong. In this Mojo Monday, Carly explores how fear becomes our reality when we're on autopilot, and how becoming the observer of our conditioned responses creates space to choose what happens next. Drawing on Krishnamurti and Morita Therapy, Carly looks at fear and desire as two sides of the same coin, and how turning that coin over

Dr James Thompson joins me for a practical conversation about why heart disease still leads as a global killer, why cholesterol and calcium scoring have limits, and how advanced imaging is changing prevention. We also cover exercise, lifestyle, and the role AI is starting to play in cardiac imaging. Heart disease often starts silently years before a scan or cholesterol test raises the alarm.

Hardiness with Dr Paul Taylor ·

2026/08/23

This week's Mojo Monday looks at four Stoic steps for cutting down unnecessary suffering, starting with Epictetus's dichotomy of control: sorting what's actually within your control from what isn't, redirecting your attention toward your own response, pivoting into useful action once you've accepted the facts, and taking the view from above for perspective. It also unpacks the difference between rumination and genuine processing, and includes a reflection on ego, injustice, and why choosing not to
