What if the secret you’ve been searching for isn’t something you need to attract, but something you already are?

In this episode, Dave and Poppy dive into The Greatest Secret by Rhonda Byrne, a powerful shift away from manifesting more, towards understanding the nature of consciousness itself.

They explore Byrne’s central idea that suffering comes from identifying with thoughts and emotions, rather than recognising the awareness behind them.

Drawing on teachings from spiritual traditions and modern teachers, the conversation looks at how observing the mind, instead of fighting it, creates lasting peace and clarity.

Dave and Poppy break down how this perspective changes your relationship with fear, anxiety, and desire, and why true fulfilment doesn’t come from external success, but from inner stillness.

They also discuss how this awareness naturally improves manifestation, without force, effort, or constant positive thinking.

This episode offers a calm, reflective discussion for anyone feeling stuck in mental noise or emotional loops.

If you’re ready to step out of overthinking and reconnect with a deeper sense of ease and presence, this conversation will point you back to the truth that’s been there all along.

What if the patterns you keep repeating aren’t personal failures, but inherited wounds waiting to be healed?

In this episode, Dave and Poppy explore Break the Cycle by Dr Mariel Buqué, a compassionate and eye-opening guide to healing generational trauma and creating emotional freedom.

They unpack how trauma can be passed down through families, shaping beliefs, behaviours, and emotional responses without us even realising it.

Drawing on Dr Buqué’s work as a psychologist, the conversation looks at how cycles of fear, self-sabotage, hyper-independence, and emotional shutdown are formed, and how they can be gently undone.

Dave and Poppy discuss practical tools from the book, including building emotional safety, regulating the nervous system, setting healthy boundaries, and developing self-compassion.

They also explore why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how embodied healing helps create lasting change.

This episode offers a grounded, hopeful look at what it means to heal not just for yourself, but for future generations.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the past and start responding with intention, this conversation will guide you towards clarity, courage, and deep emotional healing.

What if Valentine’s Day wasn’t about cards, flowers, or one perfect night, but about learning how to love in a way that actually lasts?

In this Valentine’s Day special, Dave and Poppy explore The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman and unpack what separates short-lived romance from deep, enduring connection.

They dive into Chapman’s insights on intentional love, emotional safety, and the everyday habits that keep relationships strong long after the excitement fades.

The discussion focuses on communication, commitment, and why understanding how your partner experiences love is more important than grand gestures once a year.

Dave and Poppy also reflect on real-life relationship challenges, from drifting apart to unspoken expectations, sharing practical ways couples can reconnect, rebuild trust, and grow together over time.

Perfect for Valentine’s Day, this episode offers a thoughtful reminder that lasting love isn’t found in a moment, but built through consistent care, understanding, and choice.
