The Good Glow

Mel Robbins, one of the most booked speakers in the world, joins me on The Good Glow. Mel changed her life in her 40s by changing her habits and her mission is to teach us, how to do the same.  She struggled with anxiety, panic attacks and the impact of untreated childhood trauma for 35 years. For decades, she trash talked and shamed herself. She let perfectionism , anxiety and people pleasing take over. Now with over 2 million copies of her books sold, 26 million views on her Ted Talk, it's time to make way for her new book The High Five Habit. Backed by science, Mel is encouraging everyone all over the world to start your day by giving yourself a high five. She says by making that tiny adjustment to your morning routines, we can take steps towards the life we want. Please note there is a mention of suicide in this episode.

Carly Sweeney was sitting in car surrounded by her nephews when she got a call from America that changed her life forever. With no notice at all, she was told herself and her husband Brendan had been matched with twins. This story will have you on the edge of your seat.

She is hugely successful and is often referred to as a 'woman whisperer'. On this podcast she explains why we should care more about ourselves, how we can quieten down that inner voice that is tearing us down, that voice that's terrible for our self confidence, telling us we are not doing enough, we are not good enough. I was stressed for 12 years before I got sick, I pushed myself day in day out, until everything fell apart. I heard Gerry Hussey say before 'if we don't make time for our health someday we will be forced to make time for our illness' that is exactly what happened to me. I hope as you listen to this podcast with Dr. Libby that you will realise that you are precious and you deserve the best.  This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Vichy.

I'm joined by two very special guests Emma Cassidy and Martine Dines as they take us through their breast cancer diagnosis. Emma was diagnosed just before me and has since become one of my best friends. Today she’ll tell me about how she dealt with being told she had the BRCA gene and how the most unexpected miracle took place when she least expected it. Martine was 29 when she was diagnosed this summer. Thousands of miles from her family, the Australian community down under threw their arms around her and campaigned for her family to join her even though the boarders were closed. This is a gripping story of determination and love. This podcast is brought to you with thanks to Vichy.

My guest this week is Dan Buettner. He’s a New York Times best-selling author and founder of The Blue Zones. Dan discovered the five places in the world, called blue zones hotspots, where people live the longest, healthiest lives. They are the Barbagia region of Sardinia, Ikaria in Greece, the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, Loma Linda in California and Okinawa, Japan. Over a number of years, Dan teamed up with National Geographic to go to these ‘blue zones’ and study their people. What were they doing differently? How do they live? And what’s their secret? Dan found 9 common lifestyle habits in these regions, which he called the Power 9. Today, Dan takes me through their rituals (some may surprise you) and tells us how we can adapt this 'blue zone lifestyle' in our own homes.  Dan’s books:  The Blue Zones Kitchen The Blue Zones of Happiness The Blue Zones Solution

Lotte Bowser speaks to me about her fiancé Ben Kouijzer, who died in a Mexican hospital after contracting Covid 19, in 2020. Ben, who had a successful career as a music agent, had been diagnosed with cancer in 2019. His diagnosis came as a complete shock and Lotte did everything in her power to keep Ben here. They travelled to Mexico to get treatment for Ben, but after testing positive for Covid, Ben slipped away. He was just 36 years old. Today, Lotte tells me about their journey together, their never ending love for each other and how she is slowly rebuilding her life one step at a time. This is a story of true love and Lotte has become a voice for those navigating grief as thousands of people follow her journey online.
