According to Nikki Morrison (our resident Nurse, Death Doula and Angel), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a medical condition similar to Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) but it's a kind-of, ‘on steroids’ version. PMDD causes severe (sometimes extreme) irritability, depression, pain and/or anxiety in the week or two before a period starts. For Nikki, extreme PMDD led her to question her sanity, her future, her ability to keep working, to have relationships and even, to leave the house. For me, this was an eye-opener on a range of levels. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I hadn't intended to record a 'part 2' of this chat but I received a surprising amount of (positive) feedback about the first bit, so here it is; the second bit. I will say that, while all these ideas were personally important and liberating for me, they may not all have the same level relevance and/or impact for all listeners (of course). For me, picking and curating content is an ongoing challenge as a podcaster, and sometimes in the interest of authenticity, I explore an idea or topic that may not be universally relevant but hopefully, something most will find interesting nonetheless.

Apart from being a Neuropsychologist, Neuroscientist and highly sought-after Clinician, Dr. Hannah is also a great teacher, story-teller and media presenter. As always, this was a fun and informative chat but for the first time in our ‘virtual relationship’, we had a fight. A divergence of opinion. Fortunately, I think we’ll survive the trauma.

Just over three years ago (May 2, 2021), I chatted with the co-creator of Netflix, Marc Randolph. I’m not sure what I expected but I was blown away by his humility, integrity, life philosophy, brilliant mind and conversational integrity; he was fully aware, present, engaged and happy to chat with the bogan from the bush. I loved this chat.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This solo episode is a brief session of coaching, encouragement and reflection, where I unpack eight important ideas that have been enlightening, empowering and transformative on Planet Me. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Rusbatch is a Women's Health and Wellbeing Coach, an accredited Grey Area Drinking Coach and a key-note speaker sharing her journey to sobriety and the impact of alcohol on mental health to global audiences. After developing a dysfunctional relationship with alcohol, Sarah made the decision to remove alcohol from her life in early 2019 and has never looked back. She now works with women across the globe, guiding them from feeling lost, stuck and out of control to a healthier and happier way of living. Sarah's been on TYP before and just like last time, the conversation was fascinating, informative and for some, hugely relevant. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Like myself and many of you, Ash Millo (and her body) have had a pretty interesting journey. Losing the best part of 70kgs, changing her thinking, habits, behaviours and lifestyle, undergoing surgery to remove loose skin, learning how to socialise without compromising her new health habits, building a different relationship with her body, recognising and changing destructive patterns and behaviours, the ever-present challenge of not allowing her body to become her identity and creating a personal operating that will work for her over the long term. This was a fun chat and I believe for some people, it will be helpful and insightful. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good old Gillespo is back challenging convention, reminding me that psychology is BS, rocking the research boat and positing a new and fascinating theory on the most devastating of eating disorders; Anorexia Nervosa. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few weeks ago, TYP regulars Brad and Carly Cunningham had their amazing Training Centre (The Fit Shop in Cheltenham) burn to the ground, losing their business and the amazing ‘third space' they had created for their members. This episode is a quick catch-up with Brad to see where things are at now and let's just say that their story is one of resilience, resourcefulness and the amazing kindness and generosity of awesome people ready to role up their sleeves, open their hearts and help a young family when they need it the most.

I was recently on The Paul Taylor Podcast, chatting about my PhD research in the areas of metacognition, theory of mind, meta-perception and meta-accuracy, and as always, it was an interesting, intellectual and fun conversation. This episode is a co-share. Enjoy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
