Episode notes
I’m joined by clinical psychologist, trauma expert and author, Dr Sam Akbar. From understanding how your brain works and challenging your thought-processes to having more self-compassion, Sam’s work centres around providing sensitive and realistic guidance and tools to feel calmer, less stressed, and more resilient to life challenges.
We discuss:
- How to find psychological flourishing
- Why your thoughts are not the boss of you
- How to change your relationship with your thoughts
- Exercises to cultivate self-awareness
- How to beat stress & build resilience
- The importance of living life in line your values
Each week I unpack a wellness trend with GP Gemma Newman. This week on Fact or Fad we’re looking at collagen supplements.

Best podcast app
JD Stuart
App Store
I’ve been using Snipd for about a year and this app has been life changing. I listen to about 17 hours of podcasts a week and I want to take notes on 95% of them. Snipd makes it so easy to do. I can triple click my headphones and record a snip. The app also improves rapidly which is welcomed. It’s an easy subscription for me to pay.
No 1 podcast app

I tried everything and snipd is the no 1 app for podcasts if you like to remember things. Just tap your headphones three times and a snipped is created, transcribed, and saved to you library.
