Today we’re flipping affirmations on their head - and getting real about the ones that don’t make it to your Instagram feed.

You’ve heard the usual: “You’re good enough”, “You’ve got this” - but what happens when that positivity feels more like pressure than power?

What if you don’t believe any of it?

In this episode, we talk honestly (and with a lot of laughs) about the power of “disappointing affirmations” and the brutally honest truths that sometimes hit harder than the sweet stuff.

We share stories from my clients, my team, and even my own life about the inner voice that doesn't always say what we want… but might just be what we need to hear.

We’re pulling affirmations out of the woo-woo zone and planting them firmly in the reality of everyday life. Honest, raw, funny, and (dare we say) affirming in its own way.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic we don’t talk about enough: OCD. Not just the tidy house, lined-up labels kind of OCD, but the relentless rituals, the intrusive thoughts, and the anxiety loops that can steal your joy, your presence, and your peace.

We unpack how obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up in real life (not just the clinical definition), what therapy actually helps, and the surprising power of hypnotherapy. We share stories from real clients, including one man whose obsession with work was robbing him of time with his kids, until one subconscious shift changed everything.

You’ll also hear our honest take on CBT, what it’s good for, where it falls short, and why surface-level therapy might be the reason some people stay stuck.

If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts are in control instead of you, or you’ve caught yourself in a “harmless” routine that doesn’t feel so harmless anymore, this episode is for you.

Ever wondered how a tiny, seemingly insignificant decision can completely reroute your life?

In this episode we dive into the ripple effects of everyday choices through the lens of the Butterfly Effect.

From missed buses to resigned jobs, £5 orange juices to awkward slips on gravel, we break down how life’s biggest shifts often start with the smallest moves.

This isn’t just feel-good fluff - we’re talking real-world chaos theory, with real stories:

• How a resignation led to love
• How a spontaneous trip to Gran Canaria rewrote everything
• How one client’s “wrong place, right time” moment landed her a dream opportunity
• Why saying something as simple as “I’m an addict” might be the most powerful first step of all

We also chat about how our own kids’ futures have been shaped by timing, choices, and a whole lot of heart, and why being kind (even just once) can change someone’s whole day… or life!
