It's an old fav, new intro! We talk to Financial Therapist, Lindsay Bryan-Podvin, about why our psychological relationship with money can be so complicated. Lindsay unpacks the relationship between our finances and our minds, from resetting core beliefs, to understanding what underpins unhealthy spending behaviours.

She sets Gwen and Kate the challenge to better understand the different emotions associated with their finances, from pay day to that take away coffee that you just can't live without... or can you.

Lindsey holds a Masters in social work, and is trained in financial therapy and financial social work. You can find out more about her work (plus take the free quiz) at: https://www.mindmoneybalance.com/

Check out her book, The Financial Anxiety Solution, here

Gwen shares some of her so‑called “life‑changing hacks” (the ones she always means to tell people about but never remembers). Breakfast jeopardy included. Kate’s new puppy makes a joyful cameo.

Gwen is also gearing up for her breast reduction surgery, so we chat pre‑op prep: shaving, nail varnish removal, and a sneak peek at the upcoming Plastic Pod.

Kate talks about why uncertainty stresses us out more than bad news, and we lament the disappearance of pubic hair between women’s thighs in the 21st century.

We talk about ways to bring us back from being in fight or flight, the highs and lows of hyper-focus, the joys of line dancing, and whether having a Thai massage is the right level of violence to snap us out of rage thoughts.

It's an old fave, new intro! In this 2nd episode of our two-part breathwork special, we pick up where we left off with breathwork coach Lyndsey Marriott, this time exploring different therapeutic breathing exercises that you can join in with too. These exercises can help with anxiety, panic disorders and other aspects of mental health, and can be incredibly powerful.

Lyndsey is a Conscious Connected Breathwork facilitator and founder of Bristol Breathwork. She shares with us a deeper understanding of how our breath is connected to our emotions and mental health, and what's happening when we're feeling anxious.
She also sets some breathing exercises that can be done to really help in those difficult moments.

Find out more about Lyndsey's work.

In the episode, we also mention our SOMA Breathwork episode

And James Nestor's book: Breath

It’s the short one! Gwen shares her personal Mounjaro journey (including the joy of fitting back into old dresses), and we chat about the rise in plastic surgery tourism – from the genuinely life-changing impact of post-weight-loss procedures to the growing trend of chasing “perfection” and dissatisfaction with normal bodies. Is body positivity over?

Kate shares a brilliant life hack called the 6.30 pm rule for calming a busy mind, and we discuss some exciting limited series podcast ideas… including exploring Gwen's body-changing experience more deeply.

As ever, we’d love your suggestions and feedback!

It's the short one! We talk about micro-connections, making strangers feel good, glowing up after 50 – is a beret the secret weapon? Meeting up with old friends – are some friends only destined to be seen once a year? Kate's been watching brilliant TV from Small Prophets to Lord of the Flies. And Gwen's been binging a fascinating limited-podcast series exploring the real Salt Path story.

And we're still looking for suggestions for our very own limited series pod. If you've got one, get in touch!
