In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with renowned dating and relationship coach and three-time author Persia Lawson. Growing up, Persia's parents struggled with drug addiction. To escape the challenging emotions, she focused on becoming an overachiever, and as part of her subconscious coping mechanism, she found herself leaning into an addiction to sex and love. She became well-practised at sabotaging any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys'. Persia's rock bottom moment came in her mid-twenties when she became the victim of sexual assault. Following this incident, she put on two stone in weight which prompted her concerned dad to take her away to a health retreat in Thailand. Whilst there, he gave Persia some advice that changed the entire trajectory of her life. These words were the launch pad she needed to leverage all her overachiever energy towards healing the real root of all her romantic dilemmas. Today Persia will be gracious enough to share her incredible story and offer the wisdom of what she has learned. Highlights:

Every year around this time, I feel drawn towards talking about sobriety and what's involved in being a non-drinker. In past years I have spoken with well-known specialists such as Mandy Manners, Kate Bailey and Sober Dave, all of which provide deeper insight into becoming alcohol-free. However, this year, and after many requests, I have decided to share a talk with my brother, Kris Lawrence, about our different perspectives on my sobriety.

Hannah was her big sister who never failed to make her laugh and was always there when she was struggling.

During this time, she sought comfort from the services they provided and began to rebuild her life. Sadly, Hannah passed away in 2017. In Hannah's memory, Amber Lights in Oxford was set up to support Homeless Oxfordshire and the fantastic work they do. Homeless Oxfordshire is the largest supported accommodation provider for homeless people in Oxfordshire. Each night they accommodate over 200 people. Alongside this, they provide day services, hot food, clothing, toiletries and welfare facilities to over 550 individuals who access their services throughout the year.

Today I'll be chatting with the one and only Josh Connolly. For Josh, December 2012 was the beginning of him seriously planning his suicide. Fast forward to December 2019 and he's delivering resilience workshops to global organisations. Back then he believed that resilience was the ability to keep going no matter what, to avoid any struggle and show up. That ideal drove him to a place where he felt the best thing to do for his children was to take his own life. Today, I have the pleasure of saying he has a new idea of resilience. One that is fluid, which allows him to struggle and ask for help. One that allows him to keep his head up and shoulders back despite his internal struggles. One that embraces vulnerability and keeps him reachable. One that helps him to understand what he feels, know what he needs as a result and be able to communicate that within his activities and relationships. Rather than driving him to suicide, this idea of resilience has helped to deliver emotional resilience training to village primary schools and global brands alike. Josh doesn't believe he's a new person, he's the same person, with the same emotions. The difference today lies within what he does with the energy of those emotions.

He undertook a journey with his wife to travel from London – to Asia by land using only hitchhiking as their method of transport. They crossed 26 borders by land and placed their trust in the kindness of humans. They learnt invaluable lessons interacting with people from all walks of life whilst sitting in their cars. Adam now lives full-time on a 59ft Narrowboat with his wife. They enjoy the primitive and dynamic nature that living on the British waterways entails and the nomadic sense of exploring the UK.

In this episode of The Self Development Podcast, I'll be chatting with author, podcaster, YouTuber and anxiety specialist, Dennis Simsek. Dennis is widely known as The Anxiety Guy and had tried all the anxiety cures he could find to overcome his challenges with anxiety. However, generalised anxiety turned to panic disorder and panic disorder turned to health anxiety and it wasn't long until he decided to take matters into his own hands. It was then that he took all that he had learned about anxiety and used it to reverse negative thinking patterns, reframe his childhood trauma and steer himself towards inner peace and now he uses these insights to help others do the same.

In this episode of The Self Development Podcast, I'll be chatting with that meditation guy, Jimmy Wightman. Jimmy's meditation journey started because his enjoyment of life was crippled by insomnia and he'd heard that meditation could help with that. He'd already tried courses on mindfulness and guided meditation books and CDs, but nothing got him to that deep place of stillness and silence that he'd heard about. Jimmy found what he was looking for in the ancient Vedic tradition of meditation and shortly after he was sleeping like a baby. He now teaches busy people the most powerful technique he knows for connecting to deep inner silence and stillness. This episode is amazing as Jimmy has a calming manner that is beautiful to listen to and offers stacks of value on how to get started with meditation.
