For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com.Why do so many people lose their temper before they even realise they're angry?The answer isn't a lack of willpower. It's a lack of awareness. If you can't see anger building, you can't stop it before it damages your relationships.In this episode, Alastair explains why self-awareness is the foundation of effective anger management and emotional control. Most people don't catch their anger until they're already raising their voice, shutting down or saying something they regret. By then, the emotional part of the brain has taken over and the damage is already happening.You'll learn the three core skills that help you recognise anger before it escalates.First, how to identify your personal early warning signs of anger, including physical changes in your body that appear before an outburst.Second, how to slow down your reactions and create enough space to choose your response instead of automatically reacting.And third, how to identify the anger triggers that repeatedly pull you into the same frustrating patterns with your spouse, children or other important people in your life.If you've ever wondered why anger seems to happen so fast, or why you keep snapping at the people you love despite your best intentions, this episode will help you understand what's really happening and how to change it. Self-awareness isn't just another anger management technique. It's the skill that makes every other technique possible.Anger Secrets is the podcast for men and women who want lasting anger management solutions and healthier relationships. Hosted by Alastair Duhs, creator of The Complete Anger Management System, each episode explores anger control, emotional regulation, communication skills, and practical tools for building calmer, happier, and more connected lives.Your Next Step:Visit angersecrets.com.Learn more about The Complete Anger Management SystemAccess the free training on "Breaking The Anger Cycle"Book a free 30-minute anger assessment call

Most people don't need a new life. They need a better Tuesday. In this episode, I speak with Alastair Humphreys about why life starts to feel flat when every week looks the same, and how adventure is often less about geography and more about psychology. We get into the mindset traps that keep smart people stuck: waiting until they have more time, more money, more confidence, more certainty. Which is a bit like waiting to get fit before entering the gym. Alastair makes a simple point: that interesting lives are usually built from small acts of courage, not cinematic reinventions. A night outside. A local walk. A plan that slightly scares you. We also explore how discomfort sharpens attention, why challenge builds self-trust, and how curiosity can pull you out of autopilot faster than motivation ever will. Use small adventures to interrupt routine before routine hardens into identity. Stop treating confidence as a prerequisite; treat it as the reward. Make life richer by adding novelty, friction, and stories worth remembering. Listen if you want practical ways to feel more alive, more curious, and less trapped by your own habits.

Every edition of Answer Us Back features your responses to/observations upon previous episodes of AMT, some of them many many years old - but today's episode is packed to the rafters with what you had to say about our most recent episode, AMT419! Detta has baked a version of the Tom Cruise coconut-white chocolate bundt cake - "A lot of faff, but worth it."  Anonymous from the Allusioverse has actually eaten a cake gifted by Tom Cruise! Not the coconut bundt though - a lemon one, strong enough to taste "remarkably like having your taste buds bashed out". Mmm, great. A different Anonymous writes about the practice of film stars buying end-of-shoot gifts for all the crewmembers. Alastair in Kilmarnock gives some fun Scottish examples of stadiums being corporately renamed... ...and Mark tells us some of the creative approaches that stadiums have taken to cover up their usual corporate logos during the World Cup. Meagan in Oakland CA wonders when, if ever, it would be OK to wear her Houston Astros shirt from 25ish years ago which has the Enron logo on it? On the topic of which fun British vegetables Dan in Pennsylvania could grow on his farm, Emily in Canada is screaming, "King Edward potatoes!!!" Dan himself writes back, noting the ladybird fu**fest that was mentioned in AMT419. As well as buying ladybirds to sort out her garden's aphids, Isabel treats herself to a few praying mantis egg sacs, to enjoy a miniature horror show when they hatch. And Erica responds to the previous Answer Us Back, where we mused upon the potential disappointment of seeing one of us audio podcasters in the flesh. If AMTs 1-419 left you with lingering questions and opinions, share them with us for future episodes of Answer Us Back.

John Toon is joined by Alastair Barlow and Vipul Sheth of Advancetrack for the accounting tech and fintech news that actually matters. They open on Cortea, the Berlin audit AI startup that has raised over £10m from Dawn Capital, with Larry Bradley, the former global head of audit at KPMG, in as an angel investor. It sells Audit Quality Agents that check reports, disclosure notes and financial statements before sign-off. John is not convinced that is where audits actually fail, and reckons any time saved gets sold straight back out as more audit work. Alastair makes the point that sets up the whole episode: vendors are taking more and more of the workflow, but nobody is taking the liability. You do 99.9% of the checks this month, then 99.9% of that next month, and one day you look up and you are barely checking anything. Then HMRC's timely payments consultation, which would move income tax self assessment towards in-year collection through payroll from April 2029. John thinks the outrage is misplaced, on the grounds that the money was never the client's to spend. Alastair counters that a real working capital squeeze is coming for businesses that have grown used to holding the cash. Vipul settles it with a story about a Range Rover on the drive. Six banks and UK Finance are working on a voluntary digital verification service, letting customers prove their name, age and address from inside their banking app. It could take a lot of friction out of client onboarding, if the regulators get behind it. It also raises the liability question again, because somebody has to carry the can when the bank has your client's old address. On e-invoicing, 2029 is looking crowded. MTD, e-invoicing, timely payments and Companies House reform are all landing in the same window, and John wants VAT simplification to come as part of the deal. He also asks the question nobody has answered: when you receive an e-invoice and it is wrong, what actually happens next? Also covered: Digits deepens its partnerships with Ignition, Karbon and Reach Reporting, which Alastair reads as a signal it wants to work with firms rather than around them. Croner Intelligence goes on general release, built only on Croner's own decades of guidance, which opens up a good argument about what a moat even is now the barrier to building software has collapsed. AccountsIQ and GoCardless launch a native integration. Socket adds Forms. And the ICAEW rounds up AI agents behaving badly, including the coding agent that deleted a car rental firm's entire database and put them out of action for a week.

In this episode of the SRP Podcast, hosts Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray dive deep into one of homeopathy's most misunderstood concepts: what does real healing actually look like—and what should clients truly expect when working with a homeopath?From Hahnemann's original writings to modern practice debates, they unpack the difference between gradual health restoration and quick-fix protocols that can overwhelm the vital force. Whether you're a practicing homeopath, a student, or someone considering working with a homeopath, this conversation will reshape how you think about outcomes in homeopathy.Episode Highlights✔️ What Does "Cure" Really Mean?Exploring Hahnemann's definition from the footnote to Aphorism 1 and why the word carries more complexity than popular marketing suggests.✔️ Acute vs. Chronic: Different ExpectationsWhy healing trajectories differ dramatically between short-term conditions and long-standing chronic disease patterns.✔️ The Vital Force Does the WorkUnderstanding how remedies function as keys rather than force—and why gentle intervention beats bombardment every time.✔️ Case Study: An Eight-Year Healing JourneyA detailed look at one young man's path from multiple diagnoses (EOC, Crohn's, PANDAS) to improved health—complete with acute flares that signaled progress, not regression.✔️ "Fake Homeopathy" vs. Hahnemannian PracticeHow to identify simplified protocol homeopathy practices vs. rigorous, principle-based treatment—including warnings about excessive nosode protocols and "detox" regimens.✔️ Miasmatic Disease in ContextWhy Hahnemann's thinking evolved from syphilis observations to the broader concept of chronic miasms—and what that means for modern practitioners.✔️ Mansplain CornerLight-hearted but pointed discussion about online discourse, unsolicited expertise, and the responsibility that comes with public homeopathic education.Mentioned in this Episode:

What does the gap between American foreign policy rhetoric and reality reveal about the failures of its military interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Iran? In an age of algorithm-driven political polarisation, can authentic political speech still break through, or has social media made Trump-style fragmentation impossible to overcome? Is Donald Trump an anomaly in American politics, or part of a recurring historical cycle - and what does this suggest about America's future? Alastair and Rory are joined by Ben Rhodes, Barack Obama's former speechwriter and Deputy National Security advisor, to answer all of these questions and more. __________ Go deeper into the world of The Rest Is Politics by signing up for our free newsletter HERE, featuring exclusive interviews, analysis and weekend reads from Alastair and Rory.

Choosing the remedy is only one part of homeopathic practice. What happens next may be even more important.In this episode of Strange, Rare & Peculiar, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray continue the conversation from case analysis into case management: how a homeopath evaluates the action of a remedy after it has been given.Was that reaction an aggravation? A proving symptom? A return of an old symptom? A sign that the dose needs to be adjusted? Or a reason to retake the case?This episode asks some of the most important clinical questions in homeopathy: How do we know what the remedy is doing? How do we manage chronic cases over time? And what happens when multiple remedies, repeated potencies, nosodes, sarcodes, and “clearing” protocols make it impossible to know what actually happened?Denise and Alastair also discuss why single-remedy homeopathy is not just a philosophical preference, but a practical foundation for safety, observation, and clear clinical decision-making. When too many interventions are layered together, the homeopath may lose the very thing needed to manage the case: the ability to evaluate the remedy response.They also touch on remedy reactions, aggravations, the difference between homeopathy and isopathy, the ethics of prescribing based on disease names, and common myths around menthol, camphor, coffee, and antidoting.Mentioned in this episodeHomeopathy and Integrative WellnessDenise's free four-part series explores the relationship between homeopathy, integrative wellness, and supportive practices such as movement, mindfulness, and reflective practice.Register here: https://academyofhomeopathyeducation.com/homeopathy-integrative-wellness/Comfort Care Practitioner CourseDenise is teaching the Comfort Care Practitioner Course again this summer for homeopaths interested in palliative, hospice, and end-of-life care.Register here: https://academyofhomeopathyeducation.com/comfort-care-course/Homeopathy Help NowIf you are looking for homeopathic care, visit Homeopathy Help Now for acute, chronic, complex, and comfort care services.Learn more: https://homeopathyhelpnow.comInstitute for the Advancement of HomeopathyLearn more about the Institute's work in access to care, outcomes research, education, scholarships, and the historical research library.Visit: https://advancehomeopathy.orgStrange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today.

**This episode includes two separate interviews.**Alastair Kilgore is a Northern Irish educator, peacebuilder, and longtime member of the Corrymeela Community, where he has been involved for more than fifty years. Raised in the Protestant tradition, Kilgore has dedicated much of his life to fostering understanding across religious, political, and cultural divides in Northern Ireland.Inspired by Corrymeela founder Ray Davey, whose experiences during the bombing of Dresden shaped a lifelong commitment to reconciliation, Kilgore embraced the belief that "we are all the same" and has carried that principle throughout his work. As a teacher, community leader, and advocate for integrated education, he played an early role in supporting Lagan College, Northern Ireland's first integrated secondary school, helping pioneer efforts to educate Protestant and Catholic children together.**Dot Wilson is a community-builder, peace advocate, and lifelong resident of Northern Ireland who has spent decades fostering connection across divides. Living in Ballycastle on the North Antrim Coast, Dot is a former probation officer, gardener, fused-glass artist, and grandmother of four children and several grandchildren. Deeply shaped by her involvement with the Corrymeela Community movement, she has dedicated much of her life to creating spaces where people from different backgrounds can live, learn, and grow together.Alongside her late husband, Derek Wilson, Dot helped establish Mill Strand Integrated Primary School in Portrush during the 1980s, working with other parents to create one of Northern Ireland's pioneering integrated schools. The effort required extraordinary commitment, including securing funding, overcoming community resistance, and even leveraging their homes to support the project. Today, she looks back on that work with pride as a tangible contribution to a more inclusive society.Credits:Photos and text, John NoltnerField production, summer interns Kate West, Sawyer Garrison, and Kaitlin ImaiAudio Engineering, Razik SaifullahThanks for listening to A Peace of My Mind's podcast.

As Western nations become increasingly dependent on the US for AI, satellite infrastructure, and defence, are they sacrificing sovereignty in exchange for American security? Can middle powers such as Australia and the UK pursue genuinely independent foreign and defence policies when a Trump-led America prioritises its own interests? Is AUKUS a genuine security partnership, or is Australia bankrolling American and British interests? Alastair and Rory are joined by Malcolm Turnbull, former Prime Minister of Australia, to discuss all of these questions and more. __________ Instagram: @restispolitics Twitter: @restispolitics Email: therestispolitics@goalhanger.com __________ Social Producer: Celine Charles Video Editor: Josh Smith Assistant Producer: Daisy Alston-Horne Senior Producer: Nicole Maslen General Manager: Tom Whiter Learn more about your ad choices.

For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com.Most people with an anger problem don't think they have one. They've never been violent. They don't see themselves as angry people. But if your partner is walking on eggshells, your kids are pulling away or the same arguments keep happening over and over, anger may be affecting your relationships more than you realize.In this episode, anger expert Alastair Duhs answers five of the most common questions about anger management. What is anger, really? Why does it keep happening? Is anger always a bad thing? How do you know when it has become a genuine problem? And most importantly, what can you do about it?You'll learn why anger is an emotion rather than a behavior, how your thoughts influence your emotional reactions, and why many people mistakenly believe their anger is caused by other people. Alastair also explains why anger doesn't need to be explosive to cause damage. Sometimes the biggest warning signs are subtle: a spouse becoming quieter, children sharing less, unresolved arguments and a growing sense of distance at home.If you've ever wondered whether you're overreacting, minimizing the problem or simply "getting frustrated sometimes," this episode will help you take an honest look at the impact anger may be having on your marriage and family. You'll also learn practical first steps for changing the pattern, including recognizing early warning signs, challenging anger-producing thoughts and learning to listen with understanding instead of defensiveness.Anger Secrets is the podcast for men and women who want lasting anger management solutions and healthier relationships. Hosted by Alastair Duhs, creator of The Complete Anger Management System, each episode explores anger control, emotional regulation, communication skills, and practical strategies for building calmer, happier and more connected lives.Your Next Step:Visit angersecrets.com.Learn more about The Complete Anger Management SystemAccess the free training on "Breaking The Anger Cycle"Book a free 30-minute anger assessment call

How does a homeopath move from case taking to a remedy recommendation? In this episode, Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray explore the complexities of homeopathy case analysis and why there is no single method, shortcut, protocol, or formula that works for every case.They discuss the many ways to look at a case — including totality, mapping, organ affinity, physical generals, symptom constellations, miasms, polarity, keynotes, and the clinical judgment required to know which lens fits. This conversation is about what happens between case taking and remedy selection, and why careful analysis is essential to the practice of classical homeopathy.They also answer listeners' questions about how to describe homeopathy accurately and legally, whether homeopaths should participate in provings, and which materia medica and repertories are best for students and newer practitioners.Links mentioned in this episode:Give the Gift of Homeopathy Auction — supporting the HHN Care Grant Program.AHE Open House: Inside AHE — Training, Clinic, and Student Life — June 24 at 7 pm Eastern.Homeopathy & Integrative Wellness Free Webinar Series with Denise Straiges.Academy of Homeopathy Education Events PageHomeopathy Help Network — request care or learn more about accessible homeopathy services.HHN Care Grant ProgramStrange, Rare & Peculiar is a weekly podcast with Denise Straiges and Alastair Gray of the Institute for the Advancement of Homeopathy and the Academy of Homeopathy Education.This season, we're focusing on truth — what it means to Aude Sapere (“dare to know”) in homeopathy today.

For more information on how to control your anger, visit angersecrets.com.Most people think taking things personally is the problem. It isn't. The real problem is the meaning you attach to what other people say, and how quickly that meaning turns into anger, hurt, or defensiveness.If you've ever replayed a conversation for hours, felt crushed by criticism or found yourself reacting strongly to a comment that seemed minor to everyone else, this episode is for you. Alastair explains why taking things personally isn't a character flaw but a learned pattern, and how that pattern fuels emotional reactions that damage confidence, communication, and relationships.You'll learn two practical principles that can immediately reduce emotional reactivity.First, how to recognise when another person's words are really a reflection of their own stress, frustration, or perspective rather than a judgment of your worth.Second, how to identify the moments when criticism contains useful feedback that can help you grow rather than trigger defensiveness.Through real client examples from both the workplace and family life, you'll discover how emotional control begins with questioning the automatic stories your mind creates.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes welcomes back longtime friend, mentor, and returning guest Alastair Macdonald for a deep conversation on dental partnerships, practice ownership, and the costly mistakes many dentists make when trying to retain associates. Alastair shares why selling equity too early can create long-term problems, how fear-based decisions often lead to bad partnership structures, and why production alone does not make someone a strong business partner.   He and Dr. Costes also unpack the shifting economics of dentistry, the rising pressure from DSOs, and the importance of building dynamic, values-aligned partnerships that can grow with the business over time. The episode also previews their upcoming Dental Success Summit session, where they will go even deeper into frameworks for creating healthier, more strategic partnership paths.
