The Prymal Podcast

We often say we value one thing, but our behaviours and actions can demonstrate something else. Seamus has spent years coaching humans, originally in a health and fitness capacity, and now in the performance, personal development and business arena. He explains how we so often develop habits and behaviours that don't align with the values we say we hold, and how we can develop new patterns at any stage in our lives to help us move back towards the people we actually want to be.

Growth, success and achievement in life seems extremely hard. For so many of us, some of the biggest barriers we experience are based around the narrative we have created inside our own heads. Lack of belief, lack of ability, imposter syndrome, fear - these are some of the common experiences for so many people. In some cases we are held back by our environment. But in many cases, we stand in our own way. We explore this with Brian O'Loughlin and discuss some of the strategies we can use to overcome these barriers and change how we view ourselves and the world.

Phases we experience in our lives can be viewed as 'seasons'. This framework allows us to look at periods of great difficulty (Winter) or great happiness (Summer) as transient and temporary. When we accept this temporary nature, we can approach life with a different perspective, one that can be extremely helpful - whether it's creating resilience in the hard times or generating more presence and peace in the good times. Brian O'Loughlin joins me to discuss this framework, where we've used it in our own lives, and how we can all develop this skill as we grow.

Dr.Afif El-Khuffash is a Neonatologist, a Professor of Paediatrics and a Lactation Consultant, as well as an established digital artist, podcaster and prominent figure on social media, using the platforms to educate the public on matters of health and children's health. There is so much information available online when it comes to health that it has become extremely difficult to decide what works best for us and our families. Combined with the rise of thousands of social media accounts and influencers delivering a plethora of contradicting advice, sifting through the nonsense and bad information is a skill we must develop. Dr.Afif explains how we can develop a set of tools that will help us understand the landscape of health and medical advice. We can learn how to ask better questions, how to verify our sources of information, how to make better decisions based on what works for us on an individual level, and how we can work with our healthcare professionals to create better outcomes for ourselves and our children. We also explore some common misconceptions around infant and child health and Dr.Afif sheds some light on some of the more complex and nuanced topics like the imapce of C-sections in later life, co-sleeping, breastfeeding and more.

Many of us sabotage our own success. We allow our thoughts and emotions to dictate our actions and lives, and often times this holds us back from achieving our true potential.

Brian O'Loughlin returns to explore how this can impact us as humans, and discusses tools and strategies we can use to get out of our own way.

Brian O'Loughlin joins me to discuss the strategies we're exploring to create more space in our lives to do absolutely nothing. Living busy lives has become a badge of honour, but without space to think you are simply existing from one day to the next. To live a your life by design, and not by default, it is vital to have space to be creative, to plan, to reflect and to think. We explore the relationship between your time, money and energy, and how each can be leveraged to create that space, and how creating space can also to lead to creating more of each of these elements too.
