#355 Adulting, Energy, and the Future: Navigating Life’s Big Choices

Tue, 01 Apr 2025

Podcast Description:

In this episode, the conversation unfolds as a deep dive into the challenges of modern adulthood, exploring personal growth, societal expectations, and the evolving landscape of energy and technology. The discussion begins with reflections on gratitude and the complexities of "adulting," shedding light on the responsibilities and decisions that shape our lives.

The conversation then shifts to the joys and challenges of traveling, highlighting how exploration can influence our perspectives and personal development. The hosts explore the future of energy, discussing sustainability, innovation, and the impact of these changes on daily life. They also touch on the feeling of having "no choice" in certain situations and how mindset plays a crucial role in navigating limitations.

As the discussion continues, they examine the emotional toll of modern life, including the concept of "personate" and the mental energy required for decision-making. The risks of letting go, career uncertainties, and the intersection of social media with the education system further add to the thought-provoking dialogue.

Finally, the conversation turns toward the rise of AI, the responsibility of making decisions for future generations, and the contrast between childhood and adulthood. The episode wraps up with an exploration of children's energy—how it differs from adults' and what lessons can be learned from their unfiltered enthusiasm for life.

Through it all, the hosts offer insights into navigating an ever-changing world, embracing uncertainty, and finding balance in the journey of life.

Guest Bio:

Although perhaps best known for her work as a sports tv presenter, Alexandra has over 15 years of experience as a yoga, meditation and mindset teacher. After a rather innocuous fall, resulting in a broken spine, 3 prolapsed discs and a dislocated pelvis, doctors discovered she had a severe degenerative disc disease and was told she would never be able to do any form of high impact or heavy load exercise again. So she focussed instead on yoga, meditation and her mindset. Within a few months it became apparent that the benefits she gained from practising yoga would not just be physical, but mental. Within 6 months, Alex was stronger physically and mentally than ever before.  While she now still endures pain, it is manageable, predominantly, she feels, as a result of having a new positive relationship with her body. She went on to train as a teacher in India and has since travelled the world teaching yoga in some wonderful places. She has also written and created 6 top selling beginners yoga dvds, and reached #1 on the Amazon UK fitness charts.

Alex is also a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and combines her love and knowledge of the holistic world with psychotherapy.

#354 The Power of Self-Expression & Healing: Overcoming Trauma & Finding Inner Peace

Tue, 25 Mar 2025

Description:

 Are you truly expressing yourself, or are you holding back? 
In this transformative conversation, we explore the power of self-expression, how it impacts our mental health, personal growth, and emotional healing, and why it’s as essential as air, food, and water.

Many of us suppress our emotions, fearing judgment, rejection, or simply because we've never been given the space to speak our truth. But what if healing starts with acknowledging our past, understanding our triggers, and shifting our perspective?

🚀 In this episode, we dive deep into:
✅ The 7 basic human needs – and why self-expression is the most overlooked
✅ How unspoken emotions lead to stress, trauma, and unhealthy habits
✅ The connection between mindset, manifestation, and the quantum field
✅ Why letting go of control leads to true inner peace and clarity
✅ Healing through breathwork, mindfulness, and self-awareness
✅ How our thoughts shape our reality and create our life experiences
✅ The science behind epigenetics, trauma cycles, and breaking generational patterns

💡 Key Takeaways:
 Unexpressed emotions get stored in the body, leading to anxiety, depression, and even physical ailments
 Learning how to communicate your truth can set you free
Trauma and suffering can be transformed into strength with the right mindset shift
 The universe reflects back to you the energy you put out – your reality is shaped by your thoughts, beliefs, and self-worth
 You have the power to heal, reframe your story, and step into a higher vibration
