This episode is actually the first time that I have a guest returning who has been on the podcast previously - & that guest is Mr Pat Divilly! Pat joined me for an episode about journaling & meditation in season one which we recorded via zoom during lockdown, so it was absolutely deadly to get into the studio to chat in person this time. Pat has worked in the health & wellness space for the duration of his adult life starting out in the fitness industry before moving into the areas of mental, emotional & spiritual wellness. He now hosts his own podcast the Pat Divilly podcast & is the author of the several books including his most recent bestseller 'Fit Mind', & also delivers workshops, breathwork sessions & retreats designed to support emotional healing, connection & authentic living. We chatted about: - being absolute introverts - the innate human need for connection & community - the struggle of balancing all the spinning plates in the BUSY & demanding lives we all live today - what we think the biggest problems with our society is right now, & ways to overcome these problems… As well as touching on self-belief, what success means to us, & our biggest takeaways from this life so far.

In this episode I share some of my own personal experience of working with psychedelics as a form of therapy to facilitate my own personal growth & development in what I can only describe as the most transformative & beneficial experiences I've ever had, with massively positive outcomes for me. I speak with the two incredible Shamanic Healers & Plant Medicine Practitioners who facilitated & guided my psychedelic trips on psilocybin (mushrooms) about their incredible work using psychedelics in a safe, & intentional way to help people to HEAL … I'm hopeful this will give you an insight into the power of plant medicines & what they can do when respected & utilized correctly, & equip you with a little more info about what is out there from experienced practitioners who work with the highest integrity & whom I deem to be the most reputable & experienced in their line of work. We discuss: Safe & proper usage of Plant Meds Psychedelic therapy VS Talk Therapy What happens on a guided psychedelic trip The importance of Intention The importance of Set & Setting Understanding Anchoring Opening / Closing Sacred Space Integration & Aftercare Microdosing If you have ANY questions, please reach out to me directly at the below email or Instagram account.

Aoife Quinn is a working artist hell bent on trying to carve out useful ways we can navigate life with a positive mindset. "LSAD Duck Tales" is a social experiment addressing her generation's obsession with trying to appear unique. At a DNA level we are 99.9% the same. Through creating a generation of influencers, social media has enabled ordinary people attain celebrity status, creating a climate of unrealistic expectations for many. Ordinary people now believe they need to become someone. Instagram has become a platform where we scrutinize others, but also ourselves. Is being oneself with innate subtle differences no longer enough? Aoife created a series of 100 porcelain ducks, which have been distributed to people who have influenced her life. Initially identical, their diverse experiences are documented on a dedicated Instagram account. Through observing their encounters, how and if their exterior changes, Aoife is questioning if it is our life experiences rather than our personas that make us unique. @LSADucktales provides an opportunity to organically explore and celebrate our day to day lives, finding appreciation in the ordinary. We discussed how the Ducks came about, my own journey with Duck no70, Instagram & social media, identity, self-perception & LIFE. "It's not that deep" … but this conversation got pretty deep. And I can't wait to share it with you… Ps: PLEASE MAKE SURE TO SHARE & TAG ON YOUR SOCIALS IF YOU LISTEN!! Your support is always SO appreciated!

Conor Creighton is a meditation teacher, a spiritual guide, & author…but in his own words “hasn't always been so chill” Before he learned to meditate he worked as bartender, & a reporter for the Guardian & for Vice Magazine covering warzones, drug culture & the rise of the far-right. Meditation found HIM in 2012, & he quickly became immersed in the study of meditation, training in India with the Dalai Lama, & at the Redwood Institute in San Francisco. He describes his teaching as “a cross-pollination of ancient techniques and contemporary wisdom, and just a bit of street smarts” and says “I've experienced a good dose of depression, addiction and holy fuck moments in my life” Conor's latest book “The Truth About Love” - is in my opinion a truly beautiful & IMPORTANT piece of work. His down to earth manner & natural story-telling abilities are what drew me to Conor & his work initially, & I am so grateful to have been able to have this conversation with him, We spoke about Love, Shame, Acceptance, Negativity bias, talking to ourselves like mad eejits & how we can truly & honestly learn to LOVE OURSELVES... real-deal holy-feel true and honest LOVE… because Love, as Conor himself will tell you - is an inside job.

Welcome to another episode of the Powered by Positivity Podcast, with me, your host, Laura Murray. I am delighted to be joined by my peer Aaron Horan for this episode!! YOUR ENVIRONMENT & COMMUNITY is one of the most important and least spoken about pillars of your HEALTH. It's one of the biggest factors influencing your mindset & your self belief, therefore having influence over your growth, your progress & whether or not you actually achieve your goals … Your mindset is internal, however there are so many external factors that condition or influence your mindset - some of which you may not even be currently aware of. In this episode Aaron & I shared our own experiences & spoke about the importance of community & environment, which is your external influence, & how YOU can take control of this. Shaping your environment around you is most definitely not easy, but is actually one of the most important & POWERFUL variables in managing your health & happiness. It's also potentially an area of your life that you haven't even considered that you could improve or make massive positive change within - YET. Aaron & I discuss WHY this is so important, and HOW to make change, & influence these variables in a way that will directly impact your health, fitness, overall quality of life, & have a knock-on effect on every other avenue of your life.

Dr. Lisa Lewis is a licensed psychologist and a certified addictions counsellor who is passionate about helping clients build strength and evolve, personally, professionally, and athletically. Something I see people struggle with daily (or THINK they are struggling with!) is MOTIVATION. Understanding the psychology behind making real positive lasting change and in particular understanding MOTIVATION and the different types and ways it shows up for us is SO important, because as we know... any real, lasting change - physical or otherwise, starts in the mind … Lisa & I discuss: THE DEFINITION OF MOTIVATION Self-determination theory - which revolves around motivation and our basic psychological needs of autonomy, competency, and relatedness. Assessing & Reassessing Motivation Integrated regulation NEGATIVITY BIAS Mental Resilience, confidence and self efficacy & how PHYSICAL STRENGTH TRAINING has a massively positive impact on these & can play a hugely important role in improving each of these traits or skills….

Dan John is an ICON in the Fitness industry. He has spent his life with one foot in the world of lifting and throwing, and the other foot in academia. An All-American discus thrower, Dan has also competed at the highest levels of Olympic lifting, Highland Games. He also holds the American record in the Weight Pentathlon. Dan now gives workshops around the world, writes books, hosts The Dan John Podcast & works with private clients from all walks of life including professional athletes & military personnel. He is highly experienced, educated & knowledgeable and EXTREMELY well renowned & respected in the fitness industry… Dan has been a massive source of inspiration & education for me since I started my own fitness journey - particularly since starting to work as a coach myself. One of the many reasons I admire Dan & his work so much is that he has an innate ability to clarify & SIMPLIFY what could be seen to be pretty complex methods, systems or principals. This ability really IS one of the most IMPORTANT yet somewhat underrated SKILLS of any good coach…& actually more difficult than it might seem. He's also a genuinely GOOD PERSON with an honest desire to HELP, & his love & passion for his craft and what he does is evident in his work. I myself love listening to Dan speak about health, fitness & LIFE because I always find his own perspectives, approaches & ways of looking at things so refreshing.

In this episode I'm joined by my peer Adrian Hart, also known as “the sober PT”. A recovering alcoholic, Adrian drank for 10 years & at the time of this podcast going live he is 9months (& two weeks!) sober. He has taken responsibility for his own life, his health, & happiness, & through doing this has changed the entire trajectory of his life for the better. Coming from a place of darkness, anxiety, fear, no confidence & an abundance of self-doubt, depressing & no motivation… In the past year he has not only turned his health, mindset & physique around, he has completely changed his career (a pretty non-negotiable element to his recovery for reasons to which he will tell you about in the episode!) & is now helping others to make positive, lasting change in their own lives by improving their own mental & physical health. This is a raw, open and honest account of Adrian's journey thus far… his triumph's, failures, & everything in between - for which I'm truly thankful to him for sharing, as I'm sure that it will inspire and help you as it has myself, & many others. Adrian has spoken in the past about how he has realized that whether you are striving to be successful with your fitness OR to be successful in sobriety, you use a lot of the same tools & principles: Goal setting Creating Routine Focus Growth Mindset Self Care #herestoanother24 For anyone who may be triggered by discussions around the topics of Addiction, Sobriety, Substance Abuse, Depression & suicide, the conversation may be difficult.

GOAL SETTING 101 - How to set your Goals & achieve them : SYSTEMS, DISCIPLINE, HABITS, MOTIVATION and IDENTITY Happy New Year!! Let's get real about your resolutions ... CHANGE IS HARD. And simply outlining the change you wish to make or the goal you want to achieve is NOT going to make that happen. A goal is ultimately an outcome. Outcomes are about what you get. Processes (or systems) are about what you do. Identity is about what you believe ... ... sound confusing? Stick with me. Having a goal is the easy part. It's easy to sit around and think about what we could do or what we'd like to do. It is an entirely different thing to accept the realities that come with achieving that goal. Ultimately you need to get VERY CLEAR on what's IMPORTANT to you. What are your VALUES? WHY do you want what you say you want? Do you know how to put the systems in place to get you there? And are you ultimately willing to do what it takes to achieve the outcome you desire? You might not be sure where to begin — and that's OKAY… this episode will give you practical tips you can implement to gain clarity over what you want, and how you can create a plan to achieve your goals - in any area of your life.

I had the privilege of chatting with Dr Darragh Stewart (Phd), Inwardbound Co-Founder & Scientific Lead Facilitator, to pick his brain about all things psychedelics… including the positive effects & benefits of plant medicine for HEALING from pain, suffering & trauma, & exploring consciousness and the mind through the new science of Psychedelics & Trauma Therapy. As a scientist, Darragh is keen to cut through faux spirituality & is interested in bridging the gap between science & spirituality. Having had such a positive healing journey of his own after dealing with his own trauma and upheaval with the use of Psychedelics among other therapies and practices, he is now passionate about helping others who may also benefit from the emerging science of psychedelics by holding the retreats and collecting scientific data. He has worked with hundreds of people through their psilocybin sessions and is currently writing a paper on the effects of Psilocybin on mental health. He has also embarked on trips to India immersing himself in different trauma release modalities such as somatic bodywork, breathwork, embodiment dance practices, and yoga, and is a keen meditator having sat at the Tushita Meditation center Dharamsala, and the S.N. Goenka Vipassana Center, Bodh Gaya. Darragh is also passionate about working with Men through times of struggle and change.

In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by my peer, fellow coach and friend Rebecca Hall. We wanted to delve deep into the subject of body image, self love and compassion after a recent conversation we had on the gym floor. We both speak openly about our own experiences, struggles and growth thus far, and instead of the all too typical “toxic positivity” we often see around these subjects, or telling you how you “should” or “shouldn't” feel (which just isn't helpful), we wanted to bring you some PRACTICAL and HELPFUL ways to actively improve your own body image, self-love, and to learn how to be more compassionate with yourself. Some of the points we cover: The “BODY POSITIVITY” Movement TOXIC POSITIVITY “INSTA vs REALITY” Overcoming feeling Self-Conscious Improving your Self-Worth Clothing & Valuing yourself NOW Gratitude Taking Responsibility Your baby self Self-talk Beauty Hunting I hope that you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed chatting with Rebecca - even if it got a little emotional at moments!

Pam Sherman (known by her friends and family as Positive Pam) was a fitness instructor and trainer for 20 years, while also raising her two kids who are now 23 and 20 years old. Exercise has always been important to her, running from age 11 because her dad was a recreational runner and she thought it'd be fun to join him. It served as a huge stress reliever from a home that was filled with trauma. Four years ago Pam went out for a run as normal, and her life took a turn that could never have been foreseen. For some people, what happened to Pam might have led to the end of a career in health and fitness. However Pam believes that the accident happened “for her, not to her”. She says “My life is exponentially better because of that experience”. Pam focused on what she COULD do… and not what she could not. Pam is the perfect advocate for the saying “You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your response or how you react to what happens to you”. Pam's tagline is “Your Health is your Wealth”… and she truly knows how REAL and TRUE that is. Check out Pam's website here Pam's youtube channel here And you can check out her 7 books out on Amazon.

This episode is a raw and honest chat about some of the challenges we've faced this past year, both personally & professionally, & how we've overcome or managed these challenges. We chatted about some of the things we've learned and lessons we are taking away from all of this, as well as what's helped us, things that we've changed due to the lessons we've learned and things we're still working on. We also talk about chocolate for breakfast, the importance of honesty in any client-coach relationship, the importance of a good barbell pad, how much “going for a stroll” infuriates Owen, and much much more! I hope you enjoy, and PLEASE share the podcast on your social media & tag away… your support is ALWAYS SO APPRECIATED!! If you have any questions or feedback please don't hesitate to get in touch… I always love to hear your thoughts!

Welcome to episode two of the Powered by Positivity Podcast, where I talk about all things fitness, health, mindset, nutrition & lifestyle. In between guest episodes, I'm going to bring you a solo mini-series called "Controlling the Controllables & the Varying Variables". The first controllable variable in terms of your health & fitness that I'm going to talk about is TRAINING. We all know that if you want to build bigger biceps or an elusive six pack, strength training is a pretty essential component for making it happen. But even if maxing out your muscle size isn't your objective, strength training is one of the best ways to hit your health, fitness & physique goals. In my opinion, every single person on this planet should partake in SOME form of regular resistance training - and you WILL benefit from it. A HUGELY common misconception lot of people still believe is that if you don't want to look like a bodybuilder or a bikini model, you shouldn't perform resistance training… so as a result end up leaning towards solely aerobic/cardio exercise – and then they wonder why you're having trouble making significant improvements in your health or towards your physique goals. So, in this episode I'm going to outline several science backed MASSIVE benefits that regular strength training will have for YOU. I'll then talk about what the BEST program to help you reach YOUR goals is. I'll dispel some common myths around Strength Training, And then I'm going to give you my tips & advice for training… from mindset, to technique, and other stuff in between (to what music hypes me for a heavy lift! NO JUDGIES PLS!!) regardless of whether you're a seasoned lifter or a complete newb to resistance training. My aim with this podcast series is to cut through all of the jargon, misconceptions and conflicting information out there to simplify things, and to help you achieve YOUR goals. I want to give you the knowledge & tools to train smarter. To make better informed food choices, & to learn how to eat in accordance with your goals. To adapt a better mindset so you approach your goals & challenges with a positive one. I hope that this podcast will Inform, Educate, & Entertain. If you enjoy or learn even one little nugget, I'd love to hear your feedback & thoughts!
