In this episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole share the simple health rituals they live by to optimise their wellbeing — focusing on boundaries over rigid rules, and consistency over perfection.They explore how small, daily practices like morning sunlight, hydration before coffee, prioritising protein at breakfast, mindful caffeine timing, gentle movement, and time-restricted eating (when appropriate) can support hormones, digestion and energy. A strong emphasis is placed on nervous system regulation, including breathwork, grounding, reducing social media triggers, prioritising sleep, and building connection and community.The girls also highlight the importance of joy, indulgence, and regular health testing, reminding listeners that sustainable health is built through repeatable rituals that can withstand travel, stress and busy seasons.This episode is a reminder that optimal health isn't created through extremes — it's created through simple, intentional habits practiced consistently.

Today Kirsty sits down with Jessica Setnick for a conversation about how early life experiences can shape our relationship not only with others, but with food. Listen as they take a deep dive into reframing eating disorders, the path to dysfunctional eating and how it can all link back to attachment.   To connect with Jessica and find out more about her work and resources: Website: https://www.jessicasetnick.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jessica.setnick YouTube: @jessicasetnick2643 Connect with the Attachment Theory in Action Podcast: ATIA Podcast Website: https://www.attachmenttheoryinaction.com/  ATIA Podcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/19Xm5Nhk2K/    Attachment Theory in Action Podcast is brought to you by Chaddock Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChaddockLearningNetwork/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/chaddocklearningnetwork/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chaddocklearningnetwork/   Connect with our Podcast Host: Follow Kirsty on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/krugglesatchaddock Connect with Kirsty on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstynolan84/

In December 2000, beloved British singer‑songwriter Kirsty MacColl, best known for her iconic duet with Shane MacGowan on “Fairytale of New York”, was enjoying a family vacation in Cozumel, Mexico. What should have been a peaceful day of snorkelling in a protected marine reserve instead became a tragedy. A 31‑foot powerboat tore illegally through a clearly marked no‑go zone, Kirsty pushed her son out of harm's way and was killed instantly. What followed was even more shocking: contradictory witness accounts, missing evidence, questionable statements, and a legal outcome that many believe protected the wealthy and powerful rather than delivering justice. In this episode of Uncharted, we pull apart the tangled story behind Kirsty's death, the botched investigation, the alleged cover‑up, and the decades‑long fight led by her mother, Jean MacColl, to uncover the truth.  This is the story of a tragedy, a mother's determination, and a battle for justice that still resonates to this day.

She had already nearly maxed out the available score for trick A and while the score for trick B was high, it wasn't that clean a jump, so had more scope to increase.

With the 2026 Winter Olympics well under way in Italy, we look to the most powerful woman in sport - the International Olympics Committee president, Kirsty Coventry. The most decorated African Olympian of all time, the 42-year-old mother-of-two made history as both the first African and the first woman to hold the title when she was elected last year. With seven Olympic medals and several World Records under her belt, she decided to take on a role at the International Olympic Committee, quickly climbing the ranks. Mark Coles examines how she got here.

As the 2026 Winter Olympics kick off in Italy, we look to the most powerful woman in sport - the International Olympics Committee President, Kirsty Coventry.The most decorated African Olympian of all time, the 42-year-old mother-of-two made history as both the first African and the first woman to hold the title when she was elected last year.Kirsty began swimming from an early age, in the family pool in Harare, Zimbabwe, where her mother gave swimming lessons to local children. Her talent was soon spotted, and she competed in her first Olympics in at just aged 16, going on to compete in four more.With seven Olympic medals and several World Records under her belt, she decided to take on a role at the International Olympic Committee, quickly climbing the ranks. Her reign is being closely watched by both her supporters and her detractors - from the decisions she makes around Russian and transgender athletes being allowed to compete, to the challenge global warming creates for running the competition. So, as the Winter Olympics begin, Mark Coles examines how she got here.Production Team: Presenter: Mark Coles Producers: Keiligh Baker and Katie Solleveld Production Coordinators: Maria Ogundele and Gemma Ashman Sound: James Beard Editor: Justine LangArchive: Olympics.com AFP IOC Dominican Convent Primary School Harere Sporting Witness BBC World Service Sky News

There are plenty of people in your LinkedIn DMs promising "six figures in 90 days," but what does the reality of building a coaching business actually look like? In this episode of Success Leaves Clues, Sarah sits down with Kirsty Fitzscott, a former head teacher now 15 months into her coaching journey. They strip away the hype to discuss the practical, pragmatic, and sometimes messy work of establishing a sustainable practice.Kirsty Fitzscott is a coach for head teachers and the host of the new podcast, The Intentional Head. She helps educational leaders move past the daily grind to focus on strategic leadership.Key Takeaways1. The "90-Day" Myth vs. Reality Kirsty debunks the "get rich quick" marketing that targets new coaches. The reality is that building a viable business takes time:The Timeline: It typically takes two to three years to build a business, not three months.The Portfolio Approach: Most coaches won't make their money solely from 1:1 coaching immediately; building a "portfolio business" is often necessary.The Digital Footprint: It can feel like "screaming into the void," but every podcast, video, and article lays a path for clients to find you later.2. Networking: Connection Over Sales Like many coaches, Kirsty initially hated networking because it felt like "selling". She reframed it successfully by realising:You aren't there to sell to the person in front of you; you are there to get to know them.Opportunities often come through "a link and a link and a link"—friends of friends or colleagues of the people you meet.3. The Power of the "Golden Sentence " One of the most critical assets for a coach is their "Golden Sentence"—a single statement that explains exactly what they do.The Formula: "I work with [Client] to help them [Action/Stop Problem] so that they can [Result]".Kirsty's Example: "I help time-poor head teachers to stop the firefighting so they can actually get on with the strategic".Why It Works: It makes your work instantly accessible. Even if the person you are talking to isn't a head teacher, they might know one who is "firefighting" and make the connection.4. Finding the Sweet Spot Kirsty discovered her niche was specifically Primary Head Teachers.The Logic: Unlike secondary schools, which have HR and IT departments, primary heads are often the sole decision-maker for over a thousand stakeholders.The "Shame" Factor: Many potential clients feel shame about their struggles. They need a safe, confidential space to ask questions they can't ask their governors or teams.Have you enjoyed this episode? Find out more and take the FREE quiz at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://thecoachingrevolution.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the FREE Facebook group at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/buildacoachingbusiness⁠⁠

In this episode of The Pure Health Podcast, Kirsty and Nicole unpack one of the most common — and misunderstood — tools used in women's health: the oral contraceptive pill (OCP).They explore why the pill is so often prescribed for symptoms like acne, PCOS, heavy or painful periods, and missing cycles — and why, while it can offer short-term relief, it doesn't address the underlying drivers of hormonal imbalance. Instead, the pill acts as a band-aid, suppressing ovulation and overriding the body's natural hormone signals rather than restoring hormonal function.The girls break down the difference between a pill bleed and a real menstrual cycle, explaining why ovulation and progesterone production are essential markers of health. They also dive into what actually drives common hormone-related symptoms — including insulin resistance, inflammation, gut health imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, stress and nervous system dysregulation — and why these root causes are often missed.This episode covers:Why the pill doesn't “regulate” hormones — it switches them offThe difference between a real period and a withdrawal bleedHow the OCP is used to manage acne, PCOS, heavy and painful periodsWhy symptoms often return or worsen after coming off the pillThe different drivers and subtypes of PCOSWhat causes heavy bleeding, period pain and missing periodsWhy your menstrual cycle acts as a monthly report card for your healthMarkers of a healthy, regular cycle and when to investigate furtherImportantly, this episode is not about fear or judgement. It's about informed choice. The pill can be helpful in certain situations, but long-term hormone health requires understanding and addressing what's happening beneath the surface.If you've ever been told the pill is the only option — or you're struggling with hormone symptoms and want answers beyond symptom suppression — this episode will help you understand your cycle, your hormones, and what true hormonal balance actually looks like.

At Rewilding Ambridge Mick asks if Joy can come to the unveiling tomorrow. Rex and Kirsty explain why it may not happen - they're still waiting for Justin to let them know whether he's fixed the problem of the undersized artwork. And when Mick sees it he agrees it should be much bigger. Kirsty still hasn't got hold of Justin, but they can't cancel until they know for sure what's happening. By the end of the day Rex and Kirsty agree it's too late to cancel now. But then comes the really bad news: Borsetshire Life are sending their Assistant Editor and he hopes the artwork will grace their next front cover, just when they don't want the publicity.Susan reports to Azra on how well their meal with George and Amber went, with Akram's help. Susan's impressed by Akram's work at Bridge Farm, too. George comes into the shop and has a dizzy turn, before Azra insists he goes to A&E. She drives him, with Susan in the back and George feeling mortified by all the fuss, but Azra impresses on George the need for an all-clear on his head injury before he can start work. Later, Susan tells Azra that Amber's with George at the hospital now and he's had a scan. She gives Azra a bouquet of flowers to thank her, before Amber messages to say the scan was clear and they're coming home. Susan and Azra compare notes on the virtues of constructive criticism, before Susan leaves Azra to enjoy the rest of her afternoon off.

Kirsty Gibson is an investment manager at Baillie Gifford, where she has spent over 13 years.  She is currently focused in particular on investing in US equities with a growth orientation. Our conversation starts with Kirsty's roots and her training in classical ballet. This was an unusual yet direct route to Baillie Gifford as she first came across the firm when she saw that they were sponsoring a ballet performance they had attended – evidence that sponsorship of similar events does in fact get noticed and yield returns! We move then to her investment beliefs, her Masters in carbon management and what she derived from it and her approach to stock picking. We dive into the cultural aspects that make a firm a rewarding place to work, and about the mindset needed to thrive as an active equity manager today.  This podcast is kindly sponsored by Evanston Capital and Alvine Capital. For over 20 years Evanston Capital has had a key focus in identifying early-stage investment managers it believes are capable of generating long-term, value-added returns in complex, innovative strategy areas. Alvine Capital is a specialist investment manager and placement boutique with a particular focus on alternative assets with significant presence in London and Stockholm.

Staffordshire police officers were dispatched to an address following a 999 call on Christmas Day. In a distressed state, the caller said, "My stepdaughter just turned up at my house, and she is alleging that she stabbed her boyfriend, and he is dead. She is in my kitchen at the moment, talking to her mother.” When the operator asked for details about the caller's stepdaughter and her boyfriend, the man replied, “They have got quite a history, so it's going to be on your file somewhere”... *** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, and script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comSOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theywalkamongus.

In celebration of the Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' EP, we take a detailed look at how their classic Christmas single came together. The Pogues originally formed in London in 1982 by Shane MacGowan, Spider Stacy and Jem Finer. MacGowan had gotten his start playing in the punk band, the Nipple Erectors, and when that band broke up, he began playing in an Irish traditional music style. Gradually, he brought in James Fearnley, Cait O'Riordan and John Hasler to become a sextet. Andrew Ranken replaced John Hasler as they signed with Stiff Records. Their debut album, Red Roses for Me, was released in 1984. For their second album, they added Philip Chevron on guitar and hired Elvis Costello as their producer. Rum Sodomy & the Lash was released in 1985, and they continued working with Costello for the Poguetry in Motion EP, released in 1986. At this point, Cait O'Riordan left the band and they updated the lineup to include Darryl Hunt and Terry Woods. They signed to Island Records and hired Steve Lillywhite to produce their third album. If I Should Fall from Grace with God was eventually released in 1988 and included the Christmas single, “Fairytale of New York.”  In this episode, Steve Lillywhite describes working with the Pogues at this pivotal time in their career when they were expanding the lineup and becoming more ambitious with their song structures and arrangements. Despite not having experience recording a traditional folk band, Lillywhite proved to be the right producer for the Pogues at this moment. His input and confidence in the studio led to them splicing two sections of “Fairytale of New York” together and also enlisting his wife Kirsty MacColl to sing the female part in the song. Jem Finer talks about his initial writing process for the song and how he wrote two potential Christmas ideas that his wife Marcia dismissed as being far too sentimental. Her input led to him rethinking the song and writing about a down on their luck couple, inspired by people who lived in their neighborhood in London. Finer describes how Shane MacGowan then took the song and moved the setting to New York City and added some key lines that were taken from real conversations. James Fearnley describes the thrill of recording the opening section with just piano and voice and how he practiced repeatedly to be able to get that part right. He talks about how the song deserved an ambitious string arrangement and so he worked out some ideas on a synthesizer before bringing in Fiachra Trench to help with the orchestration. By taking inspiration from film scores like Ennio Morricone's Once Upon a Time in America and Leonard Bernstein's On the Waterfront, Fearnley talks about wanting to bring a cinematic sound to match the classic American story that was being told. From the song's long gestation period of a few years, to Steve Lillywhite bringing the tapes home and casually asking Kirsty MacColl to sing on it, to the inspiration behind the classic “I could've been someone”  line, to the initial disappointment of getting to number 2 in the charts, to the perfect sparring duet partners in Shane and Kirsty, to the anti-Christmas Christmas song that has become timeless, we'll hear the stories of how the record came together.

George is in a filthy mood because of Amber's accusation, but Brad thinks he's got the wrong end of the stick. Ed then offers George a lift to Grange Farm and they have a similar conversation, before George shuts the conversation down. Later, when Ed drops in on George at No. 1, The Green, George despairs about his life as a known criminal - even Amber thinks he's a thief. Ed confesses he knew about her suspicions, but he never believed it himself. George though reckons no-one will ever give him a chance and runs up to his room. When Ed follows, trying to get him to talk, George pushes him and Ed falls downstairs, just as Brad appears. Later, Ed tells Brad that he lost his footing, while George suggests Ed slipped on one of Poppy's books. Brad reckons Ed was lucky - it could have been a lot worse.Kirsty walks round the beaver enclosure with Justin, pointing out where the animals have started working. Justin still hasn't watched the beaver footage Kirsty sent him though, admitting he can't think of anything more boring than watching beavers build a dam. Passionate Kirsty finds this difficult to understand, accusing Justin of having no real interest in what they're doing at the Rewilding site. Justin assures her that just because he doesn't respond emotionally that doesn't mean he isn't supportive. As a businessman, he's thrilled at how well it's going and thinks he should employ a similarly committed manager to Kirsty on his other rewilding project to guarantee its success.

Joy finds Tony in low spirits at Bridge Farm, dreading the thought of Christmas and what would have been John's fiftieth birthday on New Year's Eve. He tells Joy they had a row shortly before Tony's vintage tractor overturned and killed John. After Tony goes to see the beavers being released at Rewilding Ambridge, Joy tells Ruth and Pip they should cancel her idea for a Christmas village event. It would feel heartless after what Tony's told her. Ruth suggests asking Pat and Tony what they think first, though. And when they ask Tony he thinks a Christmas Tractor Run through Ambridge sounds wonderful, but gets them to agree to consult Pat before they go ahead and start publicising the event. Alice catches Rex up with what happened in Blackpool, then says she's going to film the beaver release for Phoebe. Rex and Kirsty decide to get on with it, even though Justin's not there. Tony arrives just in time, before the beavers disappear into the woods, and Kirsty and Rex hug each other. Then Alice realises she's only filmed three seconds, though Kirsty points out there will be footage from the enclosure cameras. Justin finally turns up, in time for cake if not beavers. Later, Kirsty and Rex worry about Justin's commitment, before he disappoints again by not showing any interest in footage of the release. But Alice is delighted when Rex offers to send her the footage, so Phoebe and Martha can see the beavers. Emotional Alice then hugs Rex, before it gets awkward and he goes.
