Welcome to Episode 15 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Kirsty Freeland. Kirsty is an accredited Analytical Hypnotherapist, and for over 35 years has been helping people through their problems. With a degree in Psychology, she uses this as an insight into the way the subconscious mind interprets the world. Hypnotherapy delves deep into the subconscious mind and can help to achieve a more balanced and less harmful way of reacting to the world around us. Recalling his own experiences as a client, John and Kirsty explore what hypnotherapy is (and what it's not), as well as how the mind quite often gets it wrong and inflicts us with fears, anxieties, habits and behaviours that limit our enjoyment of life and hold us back.Find out more about Kirsty and her work at http://www.kirstyhypnotherapy.co.uk.Follow us on Instagram @themenwho_ to see what we're up to and engage with us online.

Welcome to Episode 14 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Abu Adams, founder of Project Woman: a membership for the woman that wants to move with curiosity, power and confidence through life and enjoy every moment of it. Abi gives women the permission to feel and express themselves with confidence and clarity using her 20 years of studying and travelling the earth learning holistic approaches and harmonising them with the science of female physiology. As part of her work with Project Woman, Abi discusses in detail the need for, and benefits of, men having a better understanding the female menstrual cycle, which include: takesing the stress out of worrying if that person is going to blow their top or accuse you of something you might not have done; by supporting a woman when she needs it will see her want to support you in return; synergy - we realise we are not alone as we see our own health needs in the other; break throughs in conditioning and beliefs from the past that see women as less capable than men, keeping us in the victim/blame state; you deepen your relationship through understanding the impact hormonal changes can have on emotions, elevating your communication; reflects an opportunity to share how you are feeling, changing the dynamics of your relationships; reduces emotional rollercoasters and habitual responses on an individual basis as well as in relationships.To further your education on the above topics, Abi recommends checking out the following books:The Dance of The Lion & The Unicorn - building a fulfilling and supportive relationship that will lastUnwell Women - the historical evolution of female healthWise Power - emotional understanding of the monthly cycle Project Woman will be going on tour next year with the intention of changing the way women retreat.

Welcome to Episode 13 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. This week we're sharing with you a little aid we occasionally use in our men's talking circles to bring fresh, but not necessarily new, perspective into our conversation. To complement our words, on occasion, we've turned to a little but much loved that provides solace and perspective. The book is called The Poetry Pharmacy, and it's by an author called William Sieghart. The best way to describe The Poetry Pharmacy is as a light compendium of poetry and verse that Sieghart has collected over the course of his career in publishing and the arts. Alongside each poem is a short essay or passage on what that poem means to the author, on the themes that it explores and the message, or messages, it presents to the reader. Tying together both poem and essay, Sieghart has attributed a mental or emotional wellbeing experience to each, chosen on the basis that the words within can act as a balm or a remedy for many of life's most common conditions. Together, he calls these words ‘prescriptions for the heart, mind and soul'. In this episode John shares two of these ‘prescriptions' with you, each one relevant to our group at The Men Who: but also to the prevailing narrative of today's complex and uncertain world. Whether you choose to read it privately or share it with your own community, we're certain that it will bring you just a little bit of inner peace and help quieten the nature of the mind.

Welcome to Episode 11 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. To mark our 10th episode milestone in our podcasting journey last week, we thought we would bring you something slightly different this time. As listeners of the podcast will know, at the end of each episode we ask our guests to leave a question about mental wellbeing for the next guest to answer, whilst also answering a question from the previous guest themselves. This aspect of the show has been invariably fascinating and contains a huge amount of personal wisdom, experience and guidance on how to actively manage the mind. Episode 11 brings together the best of this wisdom as a compilation of our guests' questions and answers. It truly feels like our guests are in conversation with one another, which is exactly the point of this recurring feature and something we'll revisit at each milestone in the future. Tune into the next 25 minutes or so with an open mind, an open heart and apply the lessons from these wonderful people to your own wellbeing experiences. Thanks as ever for choosing to listen to The Men Who: Talk, and we'll see you here soon to continue the conversation.Follow us on Instagram @themenwho_ to see what we're up to and engage with us online.

Welcome to Episode 9 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Frederick Maitland, a counsellor, psychotherapist and founder of Stoneriver Therapy. In this episode we address the often difficult topic of death and dying. Having made its way out of our societal conversation in recent decades, we discuss what death means in today's western culture, how we can positively engage with the dying process whilst we're still alive, and what people can do to assist loved ones who are experiencing death in their own lives. With a background in Integrative/Transpersonal Therapy and Shamanic Counselling, Frederick uses his professional training and experience to help people address current issues, to develop and grow as a human being and to free ourselves up from the past and more fully express our potential. With experience working in hospice environments, he also helps people of many different cultures and beliefs work through their loss and/or preparation for loss of a loved one, as well as assisting in care to terminally ill patients. His work can be of great assistance during a time of deep and potentially challenging transition, helping people find solace and peace.Find out more about Frederick and his work at http://www.stonerivertherapy.com.Follow us on Instagram @themenwho_ to see what we're up to and engage with us online.

Welcome to Episode 4 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Andrew Wildgoose BEM, the founder of Scotland's favourite pub quiz company, Goose's Quizzes. At first glance the nature of men's mental wellbeing and pub quizzes may not seem overly close. But what Andrew shares with us in this episode is a lesson in how to persevere, both mentally and in business, through uncertainty, pressure and panic. Those familiar with Goose's Quizzes will remember their unrelenting commitment to helping people in the UK and internationally through the Coronavirus pandemic. Their nightly online quizzes became stuff of legend and a genuine community lifeline for thousands. But what few people saw was what went on behind the scenes. From the moment the UK government announced a total shutdown of pubs and entertainment venues to the need to keep a talented and hardworking team of people employed, motivated and supported, Andrew faced daily pressure that had no respect for his personal, professional or mental wellbeing. This conversation is a lesson in the very human art of perseverance, even when things you've worked your whole life for are falling to the floor. Let us take you on a journey from the depths of despair to the heights of royal recognition, and explore what strength we each have within us to keep moving forward through even the harshest of conditions.

Welcome to Episode 3 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Cameron Murdoch, the creative coach behind CAM Life Designs and advocate of the powerful ‘Living Legacy' wellbeing concept. Most of us think about legacy as something that exists after we die.

Welcome to Episode 2 of ‘The Men Who: Talk'. Today we're joined by Marc Millar, the inspired mind behind Edinburgh Blue Balls, a weekly swim group giving men the chance to improve both mental and physical health in cold water environments. Since setting up Marc and the group have captured the hearts, minds and balls of men and women across Edinburgh and even gained an international following through their activities. In this episode John and Marc discuss their mental wellbeing experiences, how Edinburgh Blue Balls came to life and why dunking your junk at the same time as 20 other guys can help overcome the fear of cold water immersion. Marc's story is a powerful one and what he's created has helped so many men gain a sense of community in the most unlikely of ways. It was awesome to hear this from him first hand and the hope is that many of you - male or female - will be inspired to dust off your budgies and get into the sea.
