We had never even heard of the concept of attachment styles let alone anxious attachment which Jessica has written a whole book about.  It's hard to understand that we are sometimes playing out how we relate to our parents based on how we attached to our parents. We devoured her book as it started to unlock some key understandings of why certain relationships fail and what our part is in this. This essential understanding can revolutionize not only the relationship you're in but also help you choose a partner that is able to meet you where you are and accept you for who you are.

    In this conversation we dive deep into why people want what they want. Luke explains that It's all based on the notion that, in the end, we will either be masters or slaves of our desires and that we can choose the outcome. True freedom is the freedom to want what is best for ourselves and for others. Luke was at a point in his life where he had all the trappings of external success but felt he was on autopilot. Just wanting what everyone else wants not what he truly wanted.  When the biggest business deal of his life fell through, he weirdly felt a sense of relief. He went on to study human behaviour and how mimetic desire works. This ultimately set him free and on to a path of real meaning.     More about Luke here: https://lukeburgis.com   Remember to hit SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW so you don't miss any new episodes.

    In this episode my friend shares her remarkable story.  Fiona is a corporate coach, actor, writer and mindfulness teacher. Her life changed dramatically in 2015 after the birth of her first child, when she suffered from a rare mental illness, post partum psychosis, and attempted to take her own life. After weeks on a trauma ward for injuries to her back, months on a mother and baby unit and a year of recovery, she decided to use her experience to support others and now works in perinatal mental health as a peer support worker, has her own corporate coaching company, writes for the screen with her writing partner Nuala Calvi, who she met at a group for women who were struggling with motherhood, and teaches Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. She is a strong believer that not only can you recover from mental health problems, you can be strengthened by them. She went on to have a second child in 2018, which was not without problems, but she avoided the 1 in 2 chance of becoming unwell with PP again, helped greatly by her meditation practice.

    What Makes us Happy with Professor Paul Dolan

    What really makes us happy? Is it a big house, lots of money, marriage and children? Not necessarily. Yet so many of us base what we do upon the ‘stories' we tell ourselves of what we think should make us happy without paying attention to whether these things actually do make us happy day-to-day. Our Guest on this weeks episode is Professor Paul Dolan, a behavioural scientist and author of the bestselling books Happy Ever After: A Radical New approach To Living Well and Happiness By Design: Finding Pleasure and Purpose in Everyday Life. He  believes that happiness is in the small stuff, in our daily routines, it's actually not that complicated. We were mesmerised by his wit and insights! We discover happiness simply lies in what we choose to pay our attention to and what we choose to ignore. We explore societies, stories and narratives and how they may push us to chase career paths that might actually be bad for us.   https://pauldolan.co.uk/ Twitter: @profpauldolan https://pauldolan.co.uk/podcast-1   Remember to hit SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW so you don't miss any new episodes and follow us on the links below for more: www.thedetoxbarn.co.uk www.gavinandgavin.co.uk Insta: @thedetoxbarn Facebook: @TheDetoxBarn You Tube: The funny Vegans

    This week we talk candidly about how we went from beer swinging lushes to tee total vegans. In 2011 Sharon was struck down by a rare autoimmune disease, Dermatomyositis a rare skin and muscle disease that left her practically in a wheelchair. She was put on a concoction of medicines and was told to accept her “new normal.” There was no cure, but they told her they could manage the disease through drugs. After losing most of hair, little improvement on her muscles and a very extreme skin rash, she went on a mission to find another way. We discuss the highs and lows of trying to get well at a time where my husband had just left me and we were struggling with small kids. We decided to turn our backs on the bottle of red to cope and turned to wheatgrass and turmeric shots and we've never looked back.   Remember to hit SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW so you don't miss any new episodes and follow us on the links below for more: www.thedetoxbarn.co.uk www.gavinandgavin.co.uk Insta: @thedetoxbarn Facebook: @TheDetoxBarn You Tube: The funny Vegans
