    S5 Episode 53 – From Separation to Oneness: Consciousness, Quantum Physics, AI and the Living Universe with Dr Jude Currivan
    Oct 19 2026
    What if our understanding of ourselves, our planet and the universe is undergoing a profound shift - from separation to wholeness, from competition to cooperation, and from fear to love?In this fascinating episode of Alive and Loving It, Rosie and Karen are joined by Dr Jude Currivan, cosmologist, quantum physicist, author, futurist and member of the Club of Rome, for a far-reaching conversation about consciousness, spirituality, science, artificial intelligence and what it means to be human.Jude shares how her own extraordinary journey began in childhood, with experiences of precognitive dreams, out-of-body experiences and a deep intuitive knowing. Rather than seeing these experiences as something unusual or exclusive, she believes that our capacity for non-local awareness and deeper knowing is part of our natural human heritage.From a universe of separation to a living, loving universeOne of the central themes of this conversation is the possibility that our prevailing worldview which is based on separation, materialism and a mechanistic universe is giving way to a new understanding of reality.Jude describes emerging scientific thinking as pointing towards a unitive science of a living, loving universe: a universe that is interconnected, relational, sentient and evolving.Rosy has explored the interdependent relationship of life energy, consciousness and healing love through her own 40 years of integrative healthcare experience. Together they consider how as awareness, love and connection increases our relationship to living and dying is transformed. Jude offers a beautiful distinction: unity is not uniformity. We are radically diverse and individually unique, yet simultaneously unified as part of a greater wholeness.And for those who were ill or suffering Jude’s message is beautifully simple: we cannot endlessly breathe out in service to others without also breathing in and caring for ourselves.Artificial intelligence and the future of humanityJude also offers a fascinating perspective on artificial intelligence. She explains that whilst AI is exceptionally powerful at recognising patterns, the information on which today's AI systems are trained comes from a worldview based on separation. This can influence the kinds of choices and solutions AI generates. However, she tells us of colleagues who are introducing into AI frameworks such as the Elohim Game based on win-win-win thinking that benefit the individual, the collective and the planet.The conversation raises an urgent question: what kind of intelligence are we creating, and what worldview are we giving it?What is the Akashic Record, Indra's Net and the nature of time?We then explore the ancient concept of the Akashic Record, alongside the beautiful Vedic image of Indra's Net, in which every jewel reflects every other jewel and everything is interconnected.Jude connects these ancient wisdom traditions with contemporary scientific ideas about a holographic universe, memory, information and consciousness.We also explore precognition, the experience of being beyond linear time and whether the future is already written or whether it is continually being created in the present moment.The Club of Rome and a new vision for humanityAs a member of the Club of Rome, Jude is involved in exploring whole-system approaches to transformational change. She explains how the Club of Rome's work challenges us to look beyond isolated problems and recognise the interconnectedness of economics, healthcare, environment, governance, peace and human wellbeing.Her message is particularly powerful: rather than simply pursuing endless economic growth, we might seek healthy abundance which gives us a better quality of life, deeper relationships, creativity, joy and regeneration rather than simply accumulating more and more.“What is mine to do?”Perhaps the most practical question to emerge from this extraordinary conversation is one that Jude asks herself every day:“What is mine to do, and how can I best serve?”Rather than believing that we have to fix the whole world, Jude invites each of us to discover our own contribution. Leadership, she suggests, does not belong only to politicians, scientists or global organisations. It can emerge through every individual act of kindness, care, creativity and courage.She encourages us to act local, feel global and think cosmic — remembering that we are unique individuals, members of a human family and an inseparable part of a living planetary home.And perhaps, ultimately, her invitation to us all is ‘to take love seriously’.In this episode we explore:Consciousness, intuition and non-local awarenessPrecognitive dreams and different ways of knowingQuantum physics and consciousnessThe relationship between love, vitality and consciousnessThe shift from a worldview of separation to wholenessAI, consciousness and the future of humanityWin-win-win thinking and the Elohim GameThe Akashic Record and Indra's NetThe holographic ...

  • S5 Episode 52 – Natural Hair Care, Healthy Scalp and Beauty from Nature with Pioneer Organic Hairdresser Tabitha James Kraan

    S5 Episode 52 – Natural Hair Care, Healthy Scalp and Beauty from Nature with Pioneer Organic Hairdresser Tabitha James Kraan
    Oct 12 2026
    What if having beautiful, healthy hair was less about constantly fixing, washing and styling it and more about understanding what your hair and scalp actually need?In Episode 52 of Alive and Loving It, we are delighted to welcome Tabitha James Kraan, pioneering organic hairdresser, entrepreneur and creator of her award-winning range of natural and organic haircare products.Tabitha has spent decades challenging conventional approaches to hairdressing and encouraging us to look at hair as part of our toxin free whole-body wellbeing. Her journey into organic haircare began in 1999, when becoming pregnant prompted her to question what toxins she was putting onto her own body and, importantly, what she was exposing her salon clients to. This led her to completely rethink her approach to hairdressing and ultimately to create her own organic haircare products.In this fascinating conversation, Tabitha shares her passion for natural beauty, organic hair products, scalp health and sustainable hairdressing, and explains why she believes we need to rethink the way we wash and care for our hair.We explore the importance of the scalp as living skin with a huge blood supply to our hair follicles which absorb all the products we put onto it. We talk about the role of the scalp's natural oils and why stripping away too much of that protective oil will leave hair and scalp struggling to find their natural equilibrium. Tabitha explains her philosophy of oil balancing, correct cleansing and moisture layering – three principles at the heart of her approach to healthy hair.We also talk about the ingredients we put onto our hair and scalp, the difference between natural, organic and conventional haircare and the plasticised toxic hair products, and why sustainability matters – not simply for our own bodies, but for the planet too.For anyone experiencing dry hair, oily hair, an irritated or itchy scalp, thinning hair, ageing hair or simply wanting to move towards a more natural beauty routine, this episode offers plenty to think about. So, if you love natural health, organic beauty, sustainable living, healthy ageing and simple ways to care for yourself more consciously, this is an episode not to miss.In this episode we explore:Natural and organic haircareAbsorption of hair products and dyes through the scalpWhy scalp health mattersThe importance of the scalp's natural oilsHow over hair washing affects the scalp and hairOil balancing, gentle cleansing and moisture layeringChoosing cleaner, more sustainable hair productsNatural approaches to dry, oily and ageing hairHaircare and wellbeingSustainable and ethical beautyWhy beauty can be both luxurious and environmentally consciousTabitha's journey from traditional hairdresser to pioneering organic hairdresserHow reconnecting with nature can influence the way we care for ourselvesFind out more about Tabitha James Kraan and her organic haircare philosophy: www.tabitha-jameskraan.comTo buy Tabitha’s products AND support the Podcast go to www.aliveandlovingit.org/marketplace Chapters00:00 Introduction to the episode and guest Tabitha James-Kraan01:02 The significance of natural hair archetypes and beauty standards02:07 The environmental impact of frequent hair washing and product use03:23 The importance of reducing shampoo frequency for health and planet08:55 The story of how a midwife changed Tabitha’s perspective on hair colouring09:09 The dangers of hair dyes and chemicals absorbed through the scalp12:03 Common toxic ingredients in hair care products to avoid13:02 The impact of synthetic dyes and plastics in hair products15:57 The issue with nanoparticles and microplastics in water systems17:40 The link between chemicals in hair products and cancer risk18:48 Holistic hairdressing and minimal contact colouring techniques22:59 The effects of harsh detergents and surfactants in shampoos24:22 The cycle of over-washing and natural oil production26:39 Benefits of reducing hair washing frequency for health and environment31:00 Embracing grey and natural hair as a form of self-expression34:21 Customising hair colour to enhance natural grey patterns40:17 The role of oils and conditioners in maintaining healthy hair43:17 The importance of choosing natural dyes and gentle treatments45:01 Final thoughts on holistic hair care and environmental responsibilityJoin our Alive and Loving it Community find the loving support that you need to change, grow and healThis is more than a podcast, it’s a movement.

  • S5 Episode 51 – Physiological Birth; Empowering Women and Midwives With Pioneer Sheena Byrom of All4Maternity

    S5 Episode 51 – Physiological Birth; Empowering Women and Midwives With Pioneer Sheena Byrom of All4Maternity
    Oct 5 2026
    What happens when we lose trust in the extraordinary wisdom of the female body? In this deeply inspiring episode of Alive and Loving It, Rosy Daniel and Karen Mellers are joined by pioneering midwife, educator and advocate Sheena Byrom, founder of All4Maternity, for a powerful conversation about trusting our bodies during pregnancy and birth, women’s choices, empowering midwifery and the importance of staying connected to our innate physiology.Sheena has been a midwife since 1978, giving her more than four decades of experience witnessing the changing landscape of maternity care. She shares the extraordinary story of the moment she first caught a baby during her midwifery training - an experience that left her in tears and opened her eyes to the profound beauty and power of birth.The conversation explores the increasing medicalisation of childbirth, including rising rates of caesarean sections and induction of labour, and the culture of risk and fear surrounding modern maternity care. Sheena emphasises that birth can never be completely risk-free, but that maternity services need to recognise when intervention is genuinely necessary while also understanding the potential for medical harm when intervention becomes routine.Importantly, Sheena stresses that this is not about saying one type of birth is good and another is bad. A caesarean birth can be necessary, empowering and life-saving, and every woman deserves to have her choices respected without judgement. The essential principle is to balance giving women and midwives unbiased, understandable information with building trust in ourselves and our bodies as women as we prepare for one of the most powerful and beautiful moments of our lives. We explore the importance of knowing your body, understanding anatomy, staying mobile during pregnancy and labour, preparing emotionally, and developing trust in your own innate physical intelligence. Sheena shares why continuity of midwifery care and supportive relationships can make such a difference and why doulas and trusted birth companions can provide the vital connection and reassurance to let our bodies relax into their natural function.There is also practical wisdom for pregnancy and birth, including skin-to-skin contact, optimal cord clamping, avoiding unnecessary separation of mother and baby, early breastfeeding and supporting the physiological processes surrounding birth. Sheena and Rosy share the power of visualisation during labour including Sheena’s beautiful image of crossing a river with each contraction.Through All4Maternity, Sheena is helping to educate and support the maternity community through evidence-based, peer-reviewed journals, online learning, imagery and inclusive resources designed for midwives, student midwives, doulas, childbirth educators and others involved in maternity care.This is a heartfelt conversation about trust, connection, informed choice, physiological birth, women's empowerment and the extraordinary wisdom of the body.In this episode we explore:Sheena’s journey into midwiferyThe magic and emotional power of witnessing birthThe changing landscape of maternity careCaesarean birth and induction of labourRisk, fear and the medicalisation of birthThe importance of informed decision-makingWhy women need unbiased, accessible informationKnowing your anatomy and understanding your bodyBirth plans and navigating modern maternity servicesContinuity of midwifery careThe role of doulas and supportive birth companionsStaying close to physiology wherever and however a baby is bornSkin-to-skin contact and keeping mother and baby togetherOptimal cord clampingEarly breastfeeding and family connectionBirth trauma and the influence of social mediaVisualisation and preparing emotionally for labourSupporting and valuing midwivesEmpowering women to trust themselves and their bodiesFind out more about Sheena and All4Maternity through their website www.all4maternity.com Read the Journals – Practising Midwife and Student Midwife.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Sheena Byrom and the series01:00 Sheena's journey into midwifery and early experiences02:43 Building confidence in social media presence16:08 Rise in caesarean and induction rates and concerns20:58 Medicalization of childbirth and risks involved34:55 The importance of respectful, physiological birth44:43 Supporting bonding and early family connection50:12 Trusting intuition and visualizing a positive birth experience52:02 Closing thoughts and gratitude for Sheena's insightsJoin our Alive and Loving it Community find the loving support that you need to change, grow and healThis is more than a podcast, it’s a movement.

  • S5 Episode 50 – Fermentation, Gut Health and the Power of Real Food with Janice Clyne

    S5 Episode 50 – Fermentation, Gut Health and the Power of Real Food with Janice Clyne
    Sep 28 2026

    In this episode of Alive and Loving It, Rosy and Karen meet the fascinating Janice Clyne of Nourished by Nature — scientist, fermentation expert, forager, educator and passionate advocate for real food. Janice shares her journey from a career in food science and whisky research to discovering the ancient art of fermentation and building ‘Nourished by Nature’, where she now inspires people to reconnect with food, nature and their own wellbeing.

    In this episode we explore:

    • Why fermented foods can be so valuable for gut health and how they may support the diversity of our gut microbiome.
    • How to make your own sauerkraut and vegetable ferments at home — and why you don't need complicated equipment or starter cultures.
    • The fascinating relationship between the gut, brain, cravings and mood.
    • Why eating real, minimally processed food and a diversity of plants matters.
    • The joys and benefits of seasonal eating and foraging.
    • How to introduce fermented foods gradually and listen to your own body's response.
    • The difference between fermentation and pickling.
    • The core philosophy of taking responsibility for our own health and making small, sustainable changes.

    Janice's message is refreshingly simple: eat real food, choose the best quality you can, eat seasonally, enjoy plenty of plants and experiment to discover what fermented foods work well for you.

    With her scientific curiosity, infectious enthusiasm and wonderfully independent spirit, Janice is a true force of nature. This is a conversation full of practical ideas, inspiration and joy and may well be the key for restoring healthy digestion and mental wellbeing.
