  • Dr Beth Godwin | Psychology of Food and Breaking the Diet Culture

    Dr Beth Godwin | Psychology of Food and Breaking the Diet Culture
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode, Martin is joined by Dr Beth Godwin, a clinical psychologist and certified intuitive eating counsellor, for a wide-ranging and deeply human conversation about psychology, food, body image, and the environments we live in. Beth shares her personal and professional journey into psychology, shaped early by her mother’s work as a psychiatric nurse and later refined through years of clinical practice. Now specialising in the food and body space, Beth explains how many of us are born intuitive eaters and how diet culture slowly disconnects us from our body’s natural signals. Together, the conversation explores: What diet culture really is, and why it’s so deeply embedded in society How rigid food rules override intuition and damage our relationship with eating The difference between “fatphobia” and weight stigma, and why language matters Why health and body size are not the same thing How social media quietly reinforces harmful norms — and how to curate a healthier digital environment The psychological cost of loneliness, isolation, and loss of community Why loneliness may be more harmful to health than smoking The growing tension between technology, AI, and genuine human connection Beth also speaks openly about her own health challenges and how they prompted a shift toward online, community-based support spaces, designed to help people reconnect with their bodies with compassion rather than control. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: improving mental health isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about changing your relationship with food, your body, and the environments you’re immersed in every day. 🎧 If you’ve ever struggled with food, body image, or the pressure to “fix” yourself — this one is worth your time.

  • Coffee with Conor | Ian McVeighty | From Hizzy, Grit and Two-Stroke Wisdom

    Coffee with Conor | Ian McVeighty | From Hizzy, Grit and Two-Stroke Wisdom
    Dec 7 2025
    In this episode, we sit down with Ian McVeighty, a rider whose story captures the true spirit of Isle of Man racing — grit, resilience, and an unshakeable love for bikes. Ian takes us from his early days surrounded by motorbikes, through the two-stroke era, into the heart of road racing culture on the Island. He shares the raw reality of the sport: the crashes, the comebacks, the terrifying highside that left him with a fractured spine, nine broken ribs, and the daunting task of learning to walk again. But it’s also a story of determination — fuelled partly by someone telling him he’d never race again, a sentence that pushed him harder than any engine ever could. We talk two-stroke race craft, seizing engines, clutch technique, mentorship, the old newcomers races, practice week chaos, and what it really takes to dial in a bike on the Mountain Course. Ian reflects on leaving the Island as a teenager to compete, the value of being pushed outside your comfort zone, and the mindset required to go again after being broken — literally. Whether you’re into racing, mindset, or stories of pure resilience, this conversation captures the heritage of Hislop’s era, the toughness of road racing, and the lessons learned from life lived wide open.
