Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.Follow Poppy: @poppyjamieBuy Poppy's book: https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3pA big thank you to Kama Ayurveda.

This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

Today I am joined by Professor John Aitken, who is a global leader in reproductive biology with over four decades of dedicated work. John has made groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionised our understanding of male infertility and paved the way for innovative treatments. He's the author of The Infertility Trap that looks at the long term consequences of declining fertility globally. I read his book earlier this year and was shocked as I turned the pages. Never did I dream that birth rates dropping would be a serious problem, as I just assumed we were overpopulated as it was. John's research opened my eyes to a very real challenge we face, which is how are declining fertility and lifestyle choices will affect us all long term. And why? A very important conversation around this has to happen sooner rather than later if we want to change the direction.This interview with John was possibly one of the most eye opening chats I've ever had because it speaks to the future in a very personal way, but also macro way. I think it reminds us that we truly are a species that deeply relies on each other. We are so interconnected and the subject of fertility and reproduction does feel very spiritual in many ways and also links in with the psychological links in with our behavior. It's just a very human topic. So I hope you are enjoying this content that feels slightly different from the normal programming on the Unwind podcast. But I wanted to open up to share some of my own personal curiosity at the moment, and I hope you're following the journey and enjoying it too.Find John's book: https://amzn.eu/d/3ajcnfVFind Poppy:Instagram: @poppyjamieBook: https://amzn.eu/d/i3E7M0b Hosted on Acast.

On today's Unwind, I'm speaking to an incredible man who has pioneered the grounding movement. This is the movement that has proven all humans benefit when connected to the earth, whether that be standing on the ground without shoes, swimming in a sea or river, or actually using grounding tools inside the home. Our biology actually changes when this happens.Today I'm speaking to the godfather of this area and the founder of the earthing company, Clint Ober, who began his career in the cable television industry in the seventies. In an age before the Internet, Clint helped pioneer the first ever cable modem and was deeply engaged with how electrics had to be wired to the earth to avoid interference. But in 1993, his health crumbled. Clint was told he would pass away soon until he was offered a miraculous surgery that was fortunately successful. Afterwards, he sold his life, bought a van and went traveling. He began to notice that nearly everybody was disconnected from the earth, including him, but wondered what the consequence was of disconnecting ourselves this much from the earth. He began to question whether this was a reason for the rise in inflammatory diseases. After years of observing the effect of earthing on people and 22 peer reviewed research studies looking into this concept, he has proven that almost everything going on in the body is different when you're grounded.Find Clint Ober:Website: https://www.earthing.com/pages/about-clint-oberEarthing Explained: https://www.earthing.com/pages/what-is-earthingPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

Caggie has been a television personality for the past decade, and in the last few years she has turned her attention to bringing community and conversation to spiritual awakening and astrology. Caggie's debut book, Saturn Return, talks about the journey we all go through at different times of our life when things feel like they are falling apart or when life feels very tumultuous. Using astrology inspired tools and teachings, Caggie looks at how we can understand these moments with different perspectives one that understands that growth is often uncomfortable but absolutely necessary If we want to expand and enjoy our life in deeper and more fulfilling ways. I've known Caggie since I was 16 and it's been fascinating and awe inspiring to see her evolution and follow her curiosity into new areas. Her work feels so reassuring because it's true - we all go through these really difficult moments and it can feel like we're the only ones experiencing it.

My guest today is Dr. Jolene Brighten. She's a hormone expert nutrition scientist and global thought leader in women's medicine. She's a board certified in naturopathic endocrinology and trained in clinical sexology. Dr. Brighten is the author of Is This Normal A Non-judgmental Guide to Creating Hormone Balance, Eliminating Unwanted symptoms and Building The Sexual Desire You Crave. Dr. Brighten empowers women worldwide to take control of their health and their hormones through her website and social media channels. When I was reading Dr. Brighten's book, my list of questions grew and grew and grew. And I think this is a sign of the fact that we know so little about our health and we know so little about our hormonal health, because I think that we've spent years misdiagnosing ourselves. And I'm just so grateful for this book that she's written and the work that she does.Find Dr Brighten: Website: https://drbrighten.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjolenebrighten/ Please follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

On today's podcast, I am joined by Dr Meg Arroll, the author of Tiny Traumas, which is a book that explores all the small cuts and scrapes that occur to our psyche that can actually have a huge impact on how we feel and how we understand ourselves. But often these small things we don't even recognise because they can cause us so much emotional hurt. But we shrug them off because they seem too small to think about. We often will gaslight ourselves for caring about such small incidences, but actually, over time, these small events can build up and really have an impact on how we feel. So instead of pushing down these feelings, Dr. Meg shows us a way to embrace them and become more psychologically healthy in the process.Dr. Meg is a chartered psychologist, a chartered scientist, an associate fellow of the British Psychological Society and has a Ph.D. in psychology. As Dr. Meg explains in her brilliant new book, life doesn't have to be full of tiny traumas weighing us down and there are tools and steps that can help us heal and thrive.Find Dr Meg: Website: https://www.drmegarroll.com/Books: https://www.drmegarroll.com/booksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drmegarroll/Please follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

On today's podcast, I have a fascinating guest. I am interviewing Scott Walker, one of the world's most experienced kidnap negotiators. Scott Walker has resolved more than 300 cases using his negotiation skills. And for the first time, he's able to share his techniques. Scott spent 16 years as a Scotland Yard detective, engaged in covert counter-terrorism and kidnapping operations. He has written a fantastic book, a Sunday Times best selling author called Order Out of Chaos that contains his well thought through, tried and tested tips about how to be better at negotiating. It shares a new approach to succeeding when failure is not an option. And it's brilliant.I'm excited for you to have this interview because he really gives such practical takeaways and things that we can all use in our daily lives.Find Scott Walker:Website: https://scottwalkercoaching.com/Book: https://amzn.eu/d/1IEAEfuPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

On this week's Unwind, I'm speaking to the bestselling author, international speaker and psychotherapist Nedra Glover Tawwab. She is an incredible woman who has written books like Set Boundaries, Find Peace. And her latest book explores family relationships and how they impact mental health. Her book is called Drama Free, and it's a guide to managing unhealthy family relationships. I thought this subject is fascinating because there's often a lot of guilt that surrounds difficult family relationships because we feel like we should have harmonious ones. And so when they aren't harmonious, I think a lot of confusion can arise. And if you're someone who has experienced emotional neglect, absent parents, mental health struggles with siblings or other relatives, then I think you'll find this book really helpful because Nedra talks about these difficult issues in a compassionate way and gives practical advice and how you can take control of your own life.Find Nedra:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nedratawwab/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.nedratawwab.com/Buy Drama Free: https://www.nedratawwab.com/drama-freePlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

On today's unwind, I'm speaking with Elise Loehnen, who is someone I have admired for years and someone who inspired me to start this podcast three years ago. I first discovered Elise when she was hosting the GOOP podcast, and I absolutely adored her interviewing style, her delicate questions and the way that she mesmerised me by the sheer quantity of books she'd read and the nature of the conversations she held.Elise has been a great teacher of mine, and so when I discovered she'd written her very own book, I couldn't have been happier to invite her on this podcast because she is truly an incredible woman. Elise is now the host of her very own podcast called Pulling the Thread. She has co-written 12 books, five of which were New York Times best sellers and she's now written a brand new book that has had me spellbound for days. The book is called On Our Best Behaviour: The Price Women Pay to Be Good. And the book uncovers and unravels the seven deadly sins that have seeped into our lives, whether we are conscious of it or not. This book would never have been able to see the light of day a few decades ago because Elise investigates oppressive societal norms so many of us accept and others enforced in a way that exposes how toxic and hurtful they are for humanity, especially women.Elise's new book is out on 23rd May in the UK.Find Elise:Website: https://www.eliseloehnen.com/Pre-order her new book: https://amzn.eu/d/0niHcU3Podcast: https://www.eliseloehnen.com/episodesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/eliseloehnen/?hl=enPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!A big thank you to our sponsors:Huel Black Edition is a high protein, nutritionally complete meal in a convenient shake.

Today I am thrilled to be joined by Jonny Wilkinson, a world leading sportsman, author, thought leader and podcast host. You may know him for securing England's Rugby World Cup glory in 2003. Jonny inspired millions and millions of young men in particular, and he was rightfully awarded many accolades, including BBC Sports Personality of the Year, a MBE, an OBE and the holder of the Rugby World Cup Points record.Jonny was the walking poster child of success, but courageously since then he has opened up about how the sparkling lights of those years were a facade in some ways hiding his troublesome mental health. And behind the scenes he suffered from perfectionism. He's been on an inspirational road to recovery and dived into the depths of personal transformation, spirituality and redefining his understanding of human potential and performance.Find Jonny: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jonnywilkinsonofficial/?hl=enI Am Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i-am-with-jonny-wilkinson/id1610549437A big thank you to our sponsor:Huel Black Edition is a high protein, nutritionally complete meal in a convenient shake.

On the podcast this week I am speaking with the world renowned scientist and author, Bruce Lipton. Bruce is 78 years old and over his career has challenged the way the world understands the relationship between the mind, body and genetics. In the sixties, he discovered that genes were influenced by the outside environment. He noticed that genes behaved differently depending on what was happening around them. Up until then, it was thought that genes were destiny. This phenomena became known as epigenetics and Bruce has been one of the pioneering researchers and educators in this field for nearly 50 years. He has revolutionised the way er understand what causes our health outcomes and biology.Bruce is also a bestselling author and his books include The Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution. These books have inspired a movement and encouraged people to rethink the way we understand the power of belief and the role in which consciousness shapes our lives.Find Bruce: Website: https://www.brucelipton.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brucelipton/Books: https://www.brucelipton.com/books/Please follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!A big thank you to our sponsors:Huel Black Edition is a high protein, nutritionally complete meal in a convenient shake.

James is a sleep expert and co-founded the popular health brand Swanwick Sleep, which produces blue light blocking glasses to improve wellbeing and sleep quality. The company has sold hundreds of thousands of pairs of Swannies glasses, which are worn by pro athletes to leading professionals and recommended by some of America's top sleep doctors.James is a well-known coach who focuses on helping people to improve their lives and performance by reducing alcohol. He is the author of the 30 day No Alcohol Challenge and the creator of Project 90, an online program providing support and coaching for individuals who are looking to eliminate alcohol from their lives.
