Emma is not a cookie cutter therapist; she's a beacon of hope for those engulfed in the shadows of anxiety & OCD. 

Her experience is not only professional but deeply personal, having navigated life shattering anxiety and OCD herself. And it is this shared experience that fuels her relatability, making her a therapist who truly 'gets it', engaging and disarming, often bringing a light-hearted warmth and ease to even the most serious conversations.

Known for her soothing Scottish voice and playful humour she has a keen mind for appreciating both the complexities and absurdities in life, especially when it comes to anxiety.

Emma specialises in anxiety & OCD recovery and relapse prevention. She has a gift for pulling people out of seemingly hopeless situations, instilling grit, and reigniting hope in their lives.

Dealing with complex cases, Emma's approach is far from one-size-fits-all. She’s an integrative therapist frequently praised not just for the effectiveness of her methods, but the calming presence she brings to each session.

As a guest on this podcast, Emma explores the complexities of anxiety, illuminating often overlooked red flags and nervous system dynamics in a range of challenging situations, including dating and relationships.

Main topics: Business, Relationship Communication, Overworking, Responsibility, Creating a Better Relationship

In this week's episode, I got to sit down with a friend I deeply admire and look up to, Chris Brown. 

Chris Brown helps business owners scale their businesses and guides them to the holistic and deep inner work they need. 

Chris began working as a personal trainer back in 2009, together with a friend, he opened 26 boot camps across the UK. Later they separated and he went on to open his own gym, started mentoring other gym owners and found his passion for online sales, advertising and content creation. His core work currently is helping coaches, gym owners, business owners to grow and scale their company. In his work he’s fusing a lot of the stuff that he has been doing around healing, men's work and leadership training, with deeper things like intimacy and relationships. This perspective came to him when three years ago he separated from his wife which sent him on a journey of inner work with therapy, breathwork and trauma release. What he realized was that like a lot of business owners the desire to prove oneself in the world, to win, dominate and be successful in business is quite an empty pursuit.

What he is now bringing more of the holistic inner work and deep presence into business growth. As an entrepreneur he knows that sometimes he can spend 14 - 15 hours a day focused on the business and bring the leftovers home to family. Chris is now helping others spot that pattern and support them in their journeys.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Redefine Success Beyond Financial Metrics and Linear Business Growth

⭐️ Balancing Business & Personal Life

⭐️ The Impact of Overworking on Relationships and Well-Being

⭐️ The Importance of Spending Quality Time with Our Family and Children

⭐️ The Downside of Putting Our Attention Where We Are Getting Praised

⭐️ The Ego and Getting Defensive in the Face of Criticism

⭐️ Fostering Awareness & Conscious Communication

⭐️ Keeping Up with The Changes Happening in the World

⭐️ Taking Responsibility for Our Own Actions & the Ways We Show Up in the World

⭐️ Getting Clear on out Pursuits to Bringing Balance and Harmony to Life

In this week’s podcast, I am joined by Ailey Jolie, a psychotherapist who’s work is rooted in Jungian depth psychology, relational somatics, intersectional feminism, anti-oppressive ideologies, and interpersonal neurobiology.

Ailey was born in Canada, where she grew up in the dancing, entertainment and modelling industries and later became Miss Canada. While she was in that environment, Ailey experienced a lot of sexualised violence, which led her to her personal psychotherapy and then to the work that she does today.

Ailey went to Harvard to study global mental health trauma recovery, where she met with deep thinkers who seemingly were much further along in their career. However, she noticed a deep somatic body sense of heaviness, pain and sorrow in these people who were helping the victims of horrendous trauma, and gender and sexual violence. Ailey was missing the play and the passion in this work, so she continued her search through the field of sex therapy and later really found her home in relational work. She resonated with Esther Perel’s way of thinking that the quality of relationships really resembles the quality of our life. Ailey's whole journey of relationships with others, with her body, herself, and her sexuality, is reflected in her beautiful writing.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ Is Therapy Designed for Men & the Lack of Direction for Practical Implication

⭐️ Teaching Healthy Masculine Values & the Need for Positive Role Models

⭐️ Toxic Cultural Traits & the Crisis of Masculinity  

⭐️ The Inner Work that’s Needed In Society Beyond Gender 

⭐️ Gentleness & Sensitivity in Men and the Expectation for Stoicism 

⭐️ Advice for Women on Sitting with Men’s Feelings & Avoid Psychoanalysis

Carrying on from last week's mini-episode, I answer the question, "Is it ok for a 30-year-old to date a 16-year-old?" 

In this week's episode, I am joined by Ben Owen, men's coach.

Ben was an elite track athlete from the age of 13 and has worked with some of the best coaches in the UK. He has been surrounded by great men and coaches who were significant people in his life.

They were great figureheads and part of how Ben created discipline and structure in a chaotic household. Around 18 years old, in university, he became a personal trainer. Slowly he began working with more and more people and developed into a business called Fast Way To Fitness, helping people transform their bodies by focusing on boot camps, nutrition and mindset. He used to sit for hours on end in the consultation room with clients and they would talk about life, work, families, sex and all sorts of stuff and rarely talked about food and the results they get. 

He had an incredible arc of success, but he was not used to all that money coming in, as a person coming from a poor family. By the time he turned 30 he got married and divorced. Things just started to fall apart for him. Ben noticed for the first time that he had to check in because something was not right. He realized his incessant need to work has turned him into a workaholic and he needed to put on the breaks. He went on a mental retreat where for the first time he could really stop and meditate and engage with yoga practices. He realized there was a lot to work on himself which brought him to men's work. This led to the realization that he likes men's work and decided to get back into coaching.

Key topics include: 

⭐️ What Creates Self-Sabotage in Ourselves and How We Can Stop the Pattern
