Send us Fan MailHow to Finally Do the Thing That Matters Most (Starting Today)Why are you stuck? Why can't you do the thing you know you're meant to do? It's not fear of failure, lack of strategy, or discipline, it's something much quieter, and it lives in your body, not your head.In this episode, Dr. Amen Kaur reveals what neuroscience, psychology, and the oldest spiritual traditions all agree on, from completely different starting points. You'll hear how Neville Goddard's "feeling is the secret," Carl Rogers' work on acceptance and congruence, Paul Gilbert's research on self-compassion, and Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory point to the same mechanism the Bible, Buddha, Rumi, Guru Nanak, and the Quran have been teaching for centuries.In this episode:The real reason high-achieving women stay stuck for yearsWhy your nervous system has to feel safe before your brain can do its best workThe hidden block underneath procrastination, overthinking, and self-sabotage (hint: it's not what you fear, it's what you can't receive)How self-criticism activates the same threat response as an external attackThe one shift you can make this week to come back to yourselfPerfect for you if: you're a capable, driven woman who has done all the inner work, therapy, mindset, manifestation, strategy and still feels stuck, overwhelmed, or like you're performing a life instead of living it.This isn't a 10-step plan. It's a return to yourself.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareMost of us are far kinder to strangers than we are to ourselves. We offer warmth, patience, and understanding to everyone around us, and yet when we struggle, we reach for the harshest possible voice. Why is that? And more importantly, what can we do about it?This week on Live Well Be Well, we are exploring the profound and life-changing power of self-compassion, bringing together five extraordinary voices:- Dr. Kristen Neff, whose 20 years of research built the scientific foundation of self-kindness;- Professor Paul Gilbert, founder of Compassion-Focused Therapy;- Philosopher and author Alain de Botton;- Bestselling author Oliver Burkeman;- and gut health physician Dr. Will Bulsiewicz.We dive deep into the biological and psychological reasons why we fight ourselves, and how shifting from a "threat" mindset to one of "care" can fundamentally change our health. Here's what we explore together:- The Three Pillars of Self-Compassion: Dr. Kristen Neff explains why you need kindness, mindfulness, and a sense of shared humanity to truly heal.- Hacking the Nervous System: Professor Paul Gilbert discusses how to move from a "fight, flight, or freeze" response into a "tend and befriend" state.- The Origins of the Inner Critic: Alain de Botton reveals how we internalize the voices of authority from our past and how to start a "goodbye ceremony" to those that no longer serve us.Love,Sarah Ann

In this talk, we explore how compassion can arise in the midst of conflict—within our lives and in the larger world. In a conversation with Paul Gilbert, moderated by Rick Hansen, we reflect on how our evolutionary conditioning—especially the brain's threat system—fuels fear, shame, and the reflex to see others as "other." Drawing on Buddhist psychology, we look at how a sense of separation and the stories of blame keep us caught in reactivity—and how we can begin to shift out of reactivity into presence, understanding, and care. This talk includes a guided reflection for working with conflict, helping us contact the vulnerability beneath anger, reopen the heart, and widen the circle of belonging.   Our introduction music is from "Opening" by Adrienne Torf, © 2025 ABT Music

Interview by Ali WilliamsIf you've ever wondered what it takes to fly the classic hard-rock flag out of a country where Bollywood runs the audio monopoly, Girish and the Chronicles have the answer: persistence, volume, and a deep love of the big-chorus, big-guitar stuff that got most of us into this mess in the first place. Ali's chat with bassist Yogi quickly locks into the band's origin story, which starts simple and very rock'n'roll: Girish was gigging solo as “Girish Unplugged,” the rest of the crew jumped in, “The Chronicles” got scribbled onto the poster, and suddenly it was a full band with a proper name and a mission. Musically, they're not pretending to reinvent the wheel, they're polishing it and lighting it on fire. Yogi straight-up credits the holy trinity of hard rock and metal upbringing: Guns N' Roses, AC/DC and Iron Maiden, and you can hear that DNA all over the newer material. Ali clocks it immediately and calls out the classic-rock backbone, which Yogi happily owns. On home turf, the Indian heavy scene sits in the shadow of a massive mainstream industry, but Yogi explains the maths of it: even a “small percentage” of rock and metal fans becomes a serious crowd when your population is… well, India. He points to the proof: when international bands hit major cities like Bangalore, Mumbai and Delhi, the rooms are stacked and the fans actually know the songs, sing along, and show up loud. The conversation also ducks into Asia and the band's wider wish-list. Japan sits high on it, with Yogi nerding out over anime and shouting out Japan's long-standing rock culture, plus names like Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert as examples of how deep that scene runs. They've already played Thailand and Vietnam, and he's clear-eyed about the next step: Southeast Asia needs more work, more shows, more presence. Then comes the bit Australia always cares about: yes, they're coming here, and it's soon. Yogi says they land on the 15th March for their first ever trip “Down Under” not just as a band, but as tourists too. They're lining up roughly five to six shows across the major cities, plus a New Zealand date. The tour kicks off in Brisbane, at the Crow Bar, and they've got a couple of days between landing and the first show (they mention the first gig being on the 19th) to explore, soak up the country and, naturally, sample the pub culture that keeps this nation emotionally upright. Ali does her civic duty and warns them about drop bears, prompting Yogi to promise he'll Google it, which is the correct response to any Australian wildlife briefing. Fresh music is also on the immediate horizon. Yogi says a new album is coming, with a couple of singles released first, and that the full production is finished, they're just waiting on the official release date. They're also tossing around music video ideas and hoping to shoot footage while in Australia. Their video “process” is pleasingly human: start with an idea that fits the song, then accept that things drift off-script and sometimes the unplanned bits end up being the best bits. There's a quick peek behind the curtain on what else the band has been up to too. Yogi notes that while the group's focus is firmly on Girish and the Chronicles, Girish has been involved in side projects with some serious names (George Lynch and Jeff Pilson get mentioned, along with Chris Adler and Joel Hoekstra), especially after signing with Frontiers. It's a neat reminder that while the band has that classic-rock heart, they're plugged into the wider rock world and they're not shy about doing the work to stay there. Bottom line: Girish and the Chronicles aren't selling a gimmick. They're a hard-rock band from a country where rock isn't the default setting, who've still managed to stack up major support slots, years of European touring, a surprise AGT run, and now an Aussie/NZ tour with a new album loading in the chamber. If you want to see what happens when the “classic” part of classic rock turns out to be alive, sweaty, and very ready to prove a point, grab a ticket and give them some lovin.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

new Paul Gilbert plus Vandenberg, Junkyard, Fastway and more! Your chip off the block 

Today on Let There Be Talk I've got a true guitar God in the house — one of the most technically insane, melodic, and joyful players to ever plug into a Marshall… the one and only Paul Gilbert. You first felt the shred attack with Racer X, where the speed was blistering and the musicianship was on another planet. Then came the arena-sized hooks and monster riffs with Mr. Big — yes, the band that gave the world "To Be With You," but also some of the fiercest guitar playing of the late '80s and '90s. Now Paul is back with a brand-new solo record, WROC — and as always, he's pushing himself, chasing tone, melody, and that endless curiosity that's kept him evolving for decades. We dive deep into: The making of WROC His practice philosophy and how he stays inspired Life in Mr. Big and Racer X Paul's not just a shred legend — he's one of the most positive, dedicated lifers in rock 'n' roll.

Incipe, parve puer - "Get started, little boy..." These are the words Roman poet Vergil used in his famous Fourth Eclogue of 40 B.C., bidding the powerful child yet born, son of a divine father, and of a 'virgo', to usher in a new Golden Age after a time of warfare. But who precisely is this puer, who will make war to cease, cause the poisonous serpents to go docile, release draught animals from toilsome servitude, make the hillsides blossom verdant, rollback weeds and thorns, and generally seem to fulfill the vision of Isaiah 11? Come along as we investigate this fascinating question with the help of Constantine the Great, Ella Bourne, H.J. Rose, John Dryden, and more. Yes, there's some nonsense along the way, but this Ad Navseam seasonal epsiode will give you some profundities to ponder. And, stick around for a Christmas-themed outro thanks to the generosity of guitar virtuouso Paul Gilbert!

There's a particular moment many of us know well — when everything feels like too much. Not dramatically, but quietly, heavily, relentlessly. You're still functioning, still showing up, but inside, something is fraying. And the most painful part? The story you tell yourself about it: I should be able to handle this.In this episode, we explore why overwhelm isn't a personal failure — it's a predictable outcome when multiple vulnerabilities align. Using insights from the Swiss Cheese Model and Paul Gilbert's three emotional systems, we unpack why your nervous system can't "just cope" when recovery is structurally unavailable.This isn't about becoming stronger. It's about understanding why one small change can still matter — even when everything feels impossible.We'll explore:Why overwhelm is rarely about one thing — it's an accumulation of pressures that alignHow the Swiss Cheese Model explains why burnout happens when recovery becomes impossibleThe three emotional systems (Threat, Drive, and Soothing) and why modern life keeps two constantly activatedWhy your nervous system needs recovery cycles, not just more willpowerHow one small change can close one vulnerability — and why that mattersWhy resistance to small changes is often a sign of how depleted you areSend me a DM_____________________________________________________________________ Visit jenniferwalter.me – your cosy tree house where tired perfectionists and those done pretending to be fine find space to breathe, dream, and create real change.

Je crois qu'on parle trop peu de douceur quand on parle d'alimentation.Et oui, c'est souvent ce qui manque le plus quand on se sent pris dans le cycle des compulsions alimentaires.Dans cet épisode de Dans la poire !, j'avais envie de remettre la douceur au centre du rapport à la nourriture.La douceur ? Celle qui permet de se regarder autrement, d'interrompre le jugement, et de créer enfin un espace où on peut respirer sans forcément culpabiliser.Parce que, soyons honnêtes : quand on parle de “craquage”, de “perte de contrôle” ou de “je n'ai aucune volonté”, on ne fait souvent qu'ajouter de la dureté à de la souffrance déjà existante. Et plus on se parle mal, plus on entretient le stress, le cortisol, la tension… et plus les compulsions reviennent.Rappel : La dureté abîme. La douceur répare.Dans cet épisode, je vous explique pourquoi la douceur est une vraie stratégie anti-compulsion.Je m'appuie sur les travaux de Kristin Neff (auto-compassion), Paul Gilbert (compassion-focused therapy) et Stephen Porges (théorie polyvagale) pour vous montrer comment la bienveillance envers soi apaise littéralement le système nerveux.Quand on se parle avec douceur, le corps se détend, l'amygdale se calme, le besoin de réconfort immédiat diminue.Ce n'est pas du “lâcher-prise”, c'est de la régulation émotionnelle.Je vous propose aussi des pistes très concrètes :→ une phrase-repère→ un petit rituel de 60 secondes Des gestes simples et puissants, pour commencer à sortir du cycle “je craque → je culpabilise → je recommence”.Et si vous avez grandi dans un environnement où la douceur était absente, si elle vous semble étrange, inutile, voire dangereuse, cet épisode est aussi pour vous. On parle de cette éducation qui ne nous a pas toujours appris à consoler, de la place du genre dans notre rapport à la vulnérabilité, et de la force politique qu'il y a à dire : “Je refuse de me traiter comme une machine.”Je crois sincèrement que la douceur n'est pas un luxe, c'est une nécessité.C'est une posture intérieure, un entraînement, une résistance à une culture qui nous pousse sans arrêt à faire plus, à être plus, à contrôler davantage.La douceur, c'est le choix courageux de se traiter comme un être humain avant de se traiter comme un projet.Alors, si vous vous sentez souvent en lutte avec vous-même, si vous avez envie d'en finir avec la culpabilité autour de la nourriture, cet épisode pourrait bien changer quelque chose.

Ep. 124 Mr. Big - Lean Into It - Review & Reaction Released in March 1991, Lean Into It is Mr. Big's second studio album and the record that catapulted the band into international fame. Blending technical musicianship with radio-ready hooks, it showcased the supergroup's lineup of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass), and Pat Torpey (drums). The album became a landmark in the early '90s hard rock scene, arriving just before grunge would dominate the charts. Its biggest hit, “To Be With You,” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped charts worldwide, proving that shred guitarists and virtuoso players could still produce mainstream ballads that resonated globally. The record balanced technical brilliance (complex riffs, dazzling solos, rhythm tightness) with a pop sensibility—making it one of the last big glam/hard rock albums to leave a massive mark before the shift in rock music's landscape.

Eric Martin, born October 10, 1960, in Long Island, New York, is best known as the soulful, powerhouse lead vocalist of the rock band Mr. Big. Raised in a military family that moved frequently, Martin eventually found his way to the West Coast, where his passion for music took root. Originally a drummer, he discovered his true calling as a frontman after stepping out from behind the kit. With a naturally commanding voice, he began carving out his place in the Bay Area rock scene during the late '70s and early '80s.His first major break came with the band 415, which soon rebranded as the Eric Martin Band (EMB). Blending hard rock with melodic hooks, the group built a strong regional following and released the album Sucker for a Pretty Face in 1983. They shared stages with giants like ZZ Top, Journey, and Hall & Oates, gaining a reputation for high-energy performances. Despite their momentum, EMB disbanded a couple of years later, leading Martin to pursue a solo career and continue developing his distinct blend of rock, pop, and soul.In 1988, Martin was recruited to front a new supergroup featuring bassist Billy Sheehan, guitarist Paul Gilbert, and drummer Pat Torpey. The band, named Mr. Big, launched with a self-titled debut in 1989 and quickly gained traction. Their 1991 album Lean Into It catapulted them into international stardom, largely thanks to the acoustic ballad “To Be With You,” which topped charts in over a dozen countries. Martin's dynamic vocal range and emotive delivery helped define the band's unique sound—a blend of technical musicianship and sing-along accessibility.Throughout the '90s and into the 2000s, Martin balanced work with Mr. Big alongside a prolific solo career. He released several solo albums, collaborated with Japanese artists, and even joined the Tak Matsumoto Group, a hard rock project that reached No. 1 on Japan's Oricon charts. One of his most notable side projects was the Mr. Vocalist series, where he reinterpreted classic Japanese and Western pop songs, further cementing his popularity across Asia.Following a brief hiatus, Mr. Big reunited in 2009 for a world tour and new albums, maintaining a loyal fan base across the globe. The band suffered a major loss with the passing of drummer Pat Torpey in 2018, but pressed on in his honor. In 2024, they released Ten, their final studio album, and concluded “The BIG Finish” farewell tour. Today, Eric Martin continues to tour as a solo artist and guest vocalist, beloved by fans for his passionate performances, resilient spirit, and unmistakable voice that's powered some of rock's most enduring anthems.

Constantly battling that harsh inner voice that tells you you're not enough, that you'll never measure up? It can feel like this voice is always lurking, trying to undermine your confidence and making it so much harder to move forward. The good news is that you can change your internal narrative. For this episode, Jill welcomes Shawn Costello Woolley and Holly Yates, coauthors of The Inner Critic Workbook, a fantastic resource that helps you transform your inner critic into a supportive, empowering voice. You'll understand how shame fuels negative self-talk, but more importantly, how self-compassion, mindfulness, and connecting with shared humanity can help you to quiet your critic and start building a kinder, more confident inner dialogue.

Constantly battling that harsh inner voice that tells you you're not enough, that you'll never measure up? It can feel like this voice is always lurking, trying to undermine your confidence and making it so much harder to move forward. The good news is that you can change your internal narrative. For this episode, Jill welcomes Shawn Costello Woolley and Holly Yates, coauthors of The Inner Critic Workbook, a fantastic resource that helps you transform your inner critic into a supportive, empowering voice. You'll understand how shame fuels negative self-talk, but more importantly, how self-compassion, mindfulness, and connecting with shared humanity can help you to quiet your critic and start building a kinder, more confident inner dialogue.

Each week, I ask my guest five questions designed to nourish their mind, body, and soul pre interview. These questions help us explore what makes each guest tick as an imperfect, evolving human, taking them out of their heads and into their bodies.While our discussions often go deep into the intellect, these questions invite my guests to step out of their comfort zones, gain a fresh perspective, and perhaps hold a bit more compassion for themselves. I believe this shift from headspace to heart space is something we can all relate to – it's the universal journey of being human.And as a listener, I hope you'll come away feeling a little more connected, not only to these stories but to the shared truths and vulnerabilities we uncover here. Each conversation is an opportunity to peek behind the scenes and share in the humanity of those on the other side of the microphone.Sixth - Professor of Clinical Psychology, Paul Gilbert Listen to the full episode ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Watch the full episode on YouTube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsor! VivoBarefoot | 'If you can't be barefoot, be Vivobarefoot'For 20% off, use code LWBW20www.vivobarefoot.com***If you enjoyed this episode you might also like:The #1 BETTER HEALTH Technique You Never Knew Existed!

Host: Paul Andrews Guest: Allegra Condon (Beginner Guitar Academy's 2nd Graduate)Episode SummaryPaul welcomes the first guest on the Beginner Guitar Academy Podcast: Allegra Condon. Allegra is only the second person to complete all five levels of the Beginner Guitar Academy syllabus—a two-year journey. In their conversation, Paul and Allegra discuss her experience moving through the Academy's curriculum, the challenges she faced (including the infamous “Hold On” by Alabama Shakes!), and the breakthroughs and epiphanies she had along the way. Allegra also shares actionable advice and inspiration for anyone learning guitar, whether you're a Beginner Guitar Academy member or not.Also featured:Paul announces the upcoming “5 Minutes a Day in May” free challenge—open to all, to help you build consistency and momentum in your practice routine. Sign up at bgapodcast.com/mayKey Topics & TakeawaysAllegra's Guitar Journey: She started with unstructured YouTube tutorials, inspired by her guitarist dad, and eventually sought more structure—leading her to Beginner Guitar Academy via the podcast.Motivation & Influences: Early musical loves include Joe Satriani and 70s/80s rock and metal. She speaks to the importance of having a musical inspiration and keeping your “why” front of mind through hard times.Progressing Through the Levels: The first few levels were straightforward, but things got tougher in levels 3 and 4. Perseverance was key, especially when stuck on material or songs she didn't enjoy. Allegra emphasizes the importance of perspective and looking back at where you started.Toughest Skills: Ear training with intervals was the hardest for Allegra and took a lot of practice, but regular rhythm and theory work provided more enjoyment.Favourite Songs & Standout Moments: “Day Tripper” remains a favourite, and mastering emotional, high-level songs like “Parisian Walkways” and “Heartbreaker” let her feel true musical expression.Practice & Consistency: Her secret? Consistent, structured daily practice (her goal: 30 mins/day). Even 5–10 minutes daily can add up. She recommends keeping your routine simple by following the class structure but suggests occasionally revisiting older material for retention.Advice for Beginners: - Keep practicing daily, even for short periods. - Remember why you started. - Make things easy for yourself—set up your guitar for maximum playability when learning things like barre chords. - Don't be afraid to go back and revisit skills or songs.What's Next? With a solid foundation, Allegra is now taking Paul Gilbert's courses, writing her own songs, and has aspirations of performing with a band in the future.Top Guitarists: Allegra cites Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) and Paul Gilbert as major influences.Encouragement: Allegra describes her journey as life-changing and encourages anyone listening not to give up—the joy and sense of accomplishment are worth it.Resources & LinksJoin the 5 Minutes a Day in May Challenge: bgapodcast.com/mayExplore Beginner Guitar Academy: beginnerguitaracademy.com**Thanks to Allegra for sharing her journey, and congrats on completing all five levels!****Next episode drops Friday—keep practicing, and...

Be Well Moments brings you my favorite bite-sized highlights from the season. Enjoy quick insights from our longer conversations in a digestible format. If you'd like to listen or watch the full episode, click the link below.I sat down with Paul Gilbert for one of the most eye-opening conversations about the mind. What if I told you that you didn't actually choose your emotions? That your brain was wired long before you had any say in the matter?We got into the shadow self, why we resist certain emotions, and how evolution basically tricked us into feeling things like shame, guilt, and fear. Paul explains why we react the way we do, why some emotions feel impossible to control, and—most importantly—how we can work with them instead of against them.If you've ever felt like your mind has a mind of its own, this one's for you.Listen to the full episode here.Watch the full episode on YouTube here.***Thank you to my wonderful sponsors!
