Hey gang, I have something a bit different to share with you this week. Joe Hudson is an executive coach who works with some of the world’s top leaders, thinkers, and organisations. But, before he got into coaching he was a venture capitalist and philanthropist with a super wide ranging career - so he comes to coaching with years of experience. This is my very own coaching call with Joe - we talk about personal growth and development, the fears and anxieties which can hold us back, and how to really feel our feelings. I really hope you enjoy and let me know what you think about this video format!

In today's episode, we're going to be hearing from a group of relationship experts to find out about how we can make our love lives more fulfilling and meaningful. From dating advice to how to handle conflict in long-term relationships, these conversations should give you everything you need to not only find a partner, but maintain a healthy relationship, too. I learned so much from these guests - Matthew Hussey and Logan Ury's advice on compatibility and going on second dates is brilliant, and hearing from the Gottmans and Hannah Witton about positive communication has really improved and strengthened my own relationship. And I even discuss the importance of alone time with Francesca Specter, so we can all remember that it's important to take care of ourselves as well. This episode should have something for everyone - I hope this helps you in your quest for long-lasting love. Enjoy x

In this special episode of Deep Dive, I'm being interviewed by renownd psychologist and author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? Dr Julie Smith. We'll be talking all about my brand new book Feel-Good Productivity and we discuss the writing process, the insights you can expect from picking up a copy, and all of the research into productivity and wellbeing that went into creating this book. It was strange to be on the other side of the desk, but I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of what's to come in Feel-Good Productivity. I'm so excited to be sharing this book with you all ❤️

Season 7 Episode 7

Today I’m joined by Professor Steve Peters. He’s a world renowned psychologist who’s dedicated himself to understanding the way the human mind works. He’s worked with elite athletes like the Olympic cyclists Sir Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton, 5-time snooker world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan, as well as the England football team, to help them overcome mental barriers and optimise their performance. He’s perhaps best-known for his first book, 'The Chimp Paradox', which has sold millions of copies worldwide. The book gives us a mind management approach based on the idea that there are three forces which govern our brains. The emotional and primal 'chimp' is impulsive and often anxious, while our inner human is calm, logical, and rational. This system can help us better understand our behaviour and handle moments of stress and difficulty. In this episode we’re going to talk about how to use the Chimp Model to change your life, and how it can revolutionise the way you see yourself and others. You’ll get an insight into Professor Steve Peters’ world renowned coaching methods that have helped so many people lead happier, healthier and more successful lives. Enjoy!
