For years, Jessica Holmes built a career playing other people. Now, in midlife, she is discovering the freedom of becoming more fully herself. In this episode of Transforming 45, Lisa and Jessica talk about the pressure Gen X women inherited to do everything, the fear of having a professional “best-before date,” and the identity shift that arrives when children leave home. Jessica shares the phrase guiding her life now: “I travel at the pace of my own well-being.” Together, they explore why boundaries are not the same as abandoning community, how self-kindness changes with age, and why workplace well-being cannot be used as a bandage for unsafe systems. There is also a giant sun hat, a rebellious braless dog walk and a reminder that midlife liberation can be both meaningful and gloriously ridiculous. In this conversation Identity after years of performing for other people Menopause, ageism and the myth of a professional expiration date Empty-nest transitions and changing caregiving roles Moving at the pace of your own well-being Saying no without an apology essay Self-care, community and the difference between boundaries and disconnection Psychological safety and why resilience cannot fix harmful systems Modelling a different relationship with achievement for young adults If this episode connected with you, share it with the woman who needs permission to stop racing a clock she never chose.

On this weeks episode I am joined by Gabby Bernstein, New York Times best-selling author of 11 books and one of the most influential voices in personal growth and spirituality, joins us to unpack limiting beliefs, trauma, and what it actually takes to rebuild trust in yourself. We talk about why manifesting fails for so many people (hint: it's not the vision board), the 4-step process Gabby uses to heal a limiting belief in real time, how she healed from addiction and childhood trauma, and how she's applying everything she's learned to parenting her son. We also get into friendships in your 30s, setting boundaries without guilt, and why willingness, not certainty, is the real starting point for change. If you've ever felt stuck but couldn't articulate why, this episode is for you. Gabby's book Self-Help is referenced throughout this conversation. Her new book, Unshakeable Faith, is coming soon. ⏱ Timestamps: 00:00 Opening 01:25 Meet Gabby Bernstein 02:25 Welcome & why this topic 03:26 How to start when you feel stuck 05:36 Willingness to heal: opening the door 07:44 Manifesting needs follow-through, not just belief 08:53 Recognising your own core beliefs 11:39 The 4 steps to healing a limiting belief 15:17 How Gabby met her husband 18:14 Gabby's story: addiction and healing 20:41 Healing after loss and grief 22:53 Solitude, fellowship and community 24:06 Friendships in your 30s 29:45 Working through "I can't trust people" 31:54 Relief and sadness in recognising your patterns 33:40 Dissociation and remembering trauma 35:18 Parenting through personal development 39:17 Becoming your own inner parent 40:22 Finding a partner who respects your journey 41:14 Practising patience with yourself and others 42:20 Trauma vs. limiting beliefs 43:32 Understanding your protector parts 44:51 Why manifesting doesn't work for most people 46:57 Overcoming fear of confronting your patterns 48:17 What is self energy? 49:36 You can't force someone else to change 52:27 Setting boundaries without guilt 53:22 Self-forgiveness and daily practices 54:36 Trusting the universe and faith 56:49 Closing & where to see Gabby next

Ben Dawes preaching on Mark 1:16-20, 3:13-19, Matt 16:24-25 at the 10.45 service on the 6th of September.

There is a page in Emma's notebook that has been written out, in more or less the same words, most weeks for months. Five things on it. Email the curator she met last spring. Book the studio visit. Get the new work up on the website. Finish the residency application. And every week, in that big looping handwriting of hers, the same five things go down on a clean page, and by the following week not one of them has a line through it. If you have a page like that, and I think most of you do, I think some of you could recite yours to me right now, then this one is for you. It will help you to work out why you are repeatedly delaying doing those specific tasks, so you can finally break that cycle, get them done and make some real progress.Before we go any further, if you haven't followed the show yet, do that now, because these solo episodes land every week and they are built to be used rather than just listened to. KEY TAKEAWAYS The task that´s been on your list for weeks isn't a procrastination problem; it's an emotional one. Emailing the curator, updating your website, raising your prices look like simple tasks, but by not doing them you are actually dodging the risk of rejection, judgement, or getting it wrong in public. Instead of asking, “Why can't I just do this?”, say, “I'm not avoiding the task, I'm avoiding the feeling that…”.  Reframe the task, make it tiny and less threatening: “email the curator” becomes “practice reaching out,” “update my website” becomes “practice being seen.”  Make taking action embarrassingly small. Send a three‑line email to that curator, spend 30 minutes on updating your website – so fear doesn't get a vote, and you can actually do it on an ordinary, messy day. BEST MOMENTS “Not one of those five tasks was a task. All five were feelings that she'd already decided the task would produce.” “You tell yourself to put the new work online, and it (your brain) files that under judgement. And you tell yourself to raise your prices, and it files that under losing everything you've built.” “Confidence arrives afterwards. It arrives as evidence. Every difficult email that you've sent, every application you've submitted, every room that you've walked into before you felt ready, your brain quietly loved that you came out the other side.” “Practising saying it out loud to yourself over and again is how it becomes embodied.” PODCAST HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker takes an honest look at the reality of bodybuilding judging, competition placings and the mindset required to compete successfully.What do bodybuilding judges actually see when you step on stage - and what don't they see?Every athlete arrives at a show with a story. Months of dieting, sacrifices, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, personal struggles, injuries and everything they've overcome to make it to the stage. But when the judges assess your physique, they aren't judging your story - they're judging what you present on that day.Sarah explains how judges evaluate athletes within a limited window, focusing on factors such as physique, conditioning, symmetry, posing and presentation, according to the criteria of the federation.The episode explores why athletes need to develop the resilience to separate their self-worth from their competition results. A difficult prep doesn't earn extra points. Nerves don't change the judging criteria. Problems backstage or on show day don't alter the score.Sarah also shares her own experience of deciding to divorce just four weeks before a competition, knowing that the emotional impact meant she wouldn't bring her best physique to the stage - but choosing to compete anyway and accept the outcome.This is a conversation about taking responsibility, accepting what you cannot control and using feedback as a tool for growth rather than looking for someone to blame.In this episode, we explore:• How bodybuilding judging actually works • What judges can and cannot assess • Why your personal struggles don't affect your placing • The importance of physique, conditioning, posing and presentation • Dealing with nerves and anxiety on stage • Developing resilience after a disappointing result • Why blaming judges, coaches or federations won't move you forward • How to use constructive feedback to improve • Separating your self-worth from your competition placing • Preparing mentally for bodybuilding competitions • Why posing needs to become automatic • Practising under realistic stage conditions • Visualisation and preparing for the competition venue • The importance of getting judges' feedback after a show • Why the journey matters even when you don't winYour placing is a snapshot of what you presented on one particular day.It doesn't measure your sacrifice. It doesn't measure what you've overcome. And it doesn't determine your worth.Control what you can. Accept what you cannot. And compete for yourself.Because ultimately, the most important competition isn't against the athlete standing next to you.It's against the person you were yesterday.Watch the episode: https://youtu.be/It01ZygPOWgFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Are You Practising… Or Just Hitting Balls?There's a big difference between hitting balls and actually practising.In this Wednesday Wisdom, I talk about a post I saw showing someone with a shag bag, hitting chip after chip to the same hole — and why hitting 100 balls from the same spot might not be as productive as it feels.Repetition certainly has its place, particularly when you're working on a technical change. But if you want your practice to transfer to the golf course, you need variability, different challenges and some form of pressure or consequence.Make your practice look more like the game you're actually preparing to play.Training Aids & Discount CodesBack 2 Basics Putting – Use the code YGP10 for 10% off or Click Here for 10% offDivot Board –Use the code YGP for 10% off or Click here for 10% off Strike Wedge – Click Here for 15% off Ryp Golf Speed Training – use the code YGP at check out for 10% off! Your Golf Performance Academy - Use code PODCAST at check out for 30% off any subscription.Sign up for the free course/library of 22 drills to help you get better at golf hereWe thank Titleist - The number 1 brand in golf for their continued support of the YGP Podcast

This week's episode is a little different. No guest. No big story. Just an honest conversation. Over the last few months, I've spent a lot of time exploring what growth really looks like. We've talked about success, what waits on the other side of saying no, and finding the courage to build a life around what truly matters. Then I realised... I wasn't taking my own advice. Somewhere along the way, I started saying no to the very things that inspired this podcast in the first place—time in nature, weekends away, meaningful conversations, and simply allowing life to unfold. So today, I'm letting you in on a decision I've made. If These Trees Could Talk will be returning to fortnightly episodes. Not because we're slowing down, but because I'm choosing to protect the life that creates the stories worth telling. If you've ever found yourself so busy creating a life that you've forgotten to actually live it, I hope this conversation reminds you to pause, take a breath, and ask yourself what really matters. Sometimes the most important growth isn't about doing more. Sometimes it's about having the courage to live what you already believe. See you all next week.... 

Many beginner guitarists find themselves in a cycle of practice without ever truly “playing” or “exploring” the instrument for enjoyment. This week, Paul addresses a common challenge: how dedicated learners often focus exclusively on structured practice and neglect simply playing songs or exploring the guitar creatively. Inspired by a community discussion led by member Craig, the episode explores why this happens, its drawbacks, and actionable ways to find a healthier, more enjoyable balance.Key Topics CoveredInspiration from the CommunityCraig's realization that after three years of learning, he always “practices” but never just “plays” guitar.Additional community members, including Mark, Nicholas, Doug, and Brian, share similar challenges and perspectives about the practice vs. play dilemma.The Difference Between Practice and PlayPractice: Deliberate, focused, with a clear objective to improve a specific skill. Involves stopping to fix mistakes and tracking progress.Play: Making music for enjoyment—playing through a song or jamming without stopping for corrections. Focus is on musical flow, recovery from mistakes, and expression.Explore: Picking up the guitar with no outcome in mind—noodling, improvising, experimenting with sounds, and simply enjoying the instrument.Why This Problem HappensDedicated, goal-driven students with structured routines may feel guilty or unproductive if they're not actively improving.Playing and exploring can begin to feel like rewards to be earned, rather than vital parts of the learning process.Importance of All Three ModesEach mode—practice, play, and explore—serves a unique purpose and should be part of every guitarist's routine.Practicing builds skill, playing puts those skills to use, and exploring fuels creativity and enjoyment.Practical Advice & ChallengesCreate a “ready-to-play” repertoire of songs you can play end-to-end for enjoyment.Don't turn play into another metric to be measured—some sessions should be just for fun.Schedule time for both play and exploration, especially if it doesn't happen naturally.Weekly ChallengeKeep your regular practice, but add:One session for just playing: pick a few songs or riffs, aim for uninterrupted musical flow.One session for exploration: no plan—just noodle, improvise, experiment, and have fun.At week's end, reflect on how much time you spend in each mode and consider which feels least natural. Make a plan to incorporate it more.Announcements & Academy UpdatesFaster Chord Changes Workshop: Scheduled for Sunday, July 26th at 9 PM UK time. Details and registration sent via email.Practice Studio: New tool for planning and tracking practice is nearing test phase. Demo video available in the Academy.Community Engagement: This week's question in the Academy community relates directly to the episode—do you practice, play, or explore the most? Which are you missing?Membership Offer: New members can try Beginner Guitar Academy for two weeks for $1, with access to upcoming workshops and all features.Final ThoughtsStructured practice is vital, but music is meant to be played and enjoyed. You don't need to “earn” the right to play for fun—incorporate all three elements in your learning for a richer, more rewarding guitar journey.Join the ConversationShare your routine in the Beginner Guitar Academy community: do you practice, play, or explore the most?

What does it take to build meaningful success without losing your humility, gratitude or sense of purpose?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with Mitch Lomazov, Executive Director of Finance at EXCELLence Performance, certified young-adult coach, trained public speaker and Fractional CFO.Mitch reflects on growing up as the son of immigrant parents and how discipline, hard work and personal responsibility shaped his journey. He shares honestly about fear, failure, rejection and the importance of acting even when confidence has not yet arrived.Together, we explore how intentional goal-setting, self-awareness and external accountability can help us move from potential to purposeful action. Mitch explains why goals must be connected to a meaningful “why,” how setbacks can become valuable teachers and why humility is one of the most important qualities in leadership.The conversation also moves into communication and behavioural finance. Mitch discusses where people often fall short when expressing themselves, how presence and active listening strengthen relationships and why financial strategies must account for human behaviour—not only numbers on a balance sheet.CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction00:45 Growing up with immigrant parents01:50 How discipline shaped Mitch's journey03:10 Moving from accounting into coaching and personal development04:50 Balancing education, sales, speaking and coaching06:00 Power hours, time management and accountability07:20 Overcoming rejection and the fear of failure10:40 Turning fear into forward movement12:10 Learning to ask for opportunities13:00 Lessons from failure and setbacks16:00 Reflecting and growing through difficult experiences18:00 How to set challenging but realistic goals19:30 Finding a meaningful reason behind your goals21:00 Common goal-setting mistakes22:40 Reviewing progress and living intentionally24:15 Recognising the season of life you are in26:40 Why humility is essential for leadership30:30 Practising gratitude during difficult seasons33:20 The mountain-and-valley nature of success37:30 Discovering and developing your potential40:00 Building a trusted financial support team44:30 EXCELLence Performance and its services47:30 Turning knowledge into action48:30 Closing reflectionsMitch also introduces the work of EXCELLence Performance and explains how its coaching, leadership seminars and business-development services help individuals and organisations improve their performance.This conversation is an invitation to examine your fears, clarify your goals and take responsibility for the next step in your growth. You do not need to have everything figured out. You need the humility to learn, the courage to begin and the discipline to keep moving.Notable reflections:“Knowledge is potential power, but it means nothing until it is acted upon.”“Fear may always exist, but we can choose to act in spite of it.”“Success is a journey of mountains and valleys, not a straight ascent.”Connect with Mitch Lomazov:EXCELLence Performance: https://epcoaching.com/Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/zjAVPRt79C4 Listen, reflect and share this episode with someone who is working toward greater clarity, leadership and financial confidence.Subscribe to Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations for more honest conversations about personal growth, purpose, spirituality, leadership, relationships and meaningful success.Try Aletheia today: https://aletheia.mirrortalkpodcast.com Ask what is on your heart.

Janina returns to Living Free in this episode to chat about long-term recovery in Al-Anon. Janina grew up in an unpredictable household dominated by her parents' alcoholism, mental illness and trauma. Having experienced several forms of violence she found she had to confront her own trauma and anger in order to live a peaceful, fulfilling life.  Practising the 12 Steps and supporting others to do so has been a long term journey of self-understanding, acceptance of the past, and service to others. 

THE HOMEOPATHY HEALTH SHOW When Pain Speaks: Understanding Suffering Through the Homeopathic Lens with Dr Massimo Mangialavori & Tomomi Miyakawa Episode Summary Some experiences are universal. Every human being, regardless of age, culture, or background, encounters pain. Yet while pain is shared by all, the way it is experienced, expressed, and ultimately understood is profoundly individual. In this thought-provoking episode of the Homeopathy Health Show, Atiq Ahmad Bhatti and Naila Cheema welcome internationally renowned physician and homeopath Dr Massimo Mangialavori, alongside London-based homeopath Tomomi Miyakawa, for a deep exploration into one of the most important—and often misunderstood—subjects in medicine and homeopathy: pain. Rather than viewing pain as merely a symptom to suppress, Dr Mangialavori invites listeners to reconsider it as a deeply personal language of the organism. From physical suffering to grief, trauma, emotional wounds, and the inability to even find words for one's experience, this conversation explores how pain shapes our lives and how homeopathy offers a uniquely individualised approach to understanding it. Drawing upon decades of clinical experience, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, natural history, and classical homeopathy, Dr Mangialavori explains why the patient's description of pain is often as important as the pain itself. Whether burning, tearing, crushing, overwhelming, or impossible to describe, each expression offers insight into the individual rather than simply the disease. The discussion also explores: Why conventional medicine still struggles to fully understand chronic pain. The difference between physical pain, emotional pain, and existential suffering. How grief and loss become embedded within the human experience. Why some patients cannot describe their suffering at all. The significance of individuality when prescribing homeopathic remedies. The relationship between resilience, consciousness, and healing. Why listening remains one of the homeopath's greatest clinical skills. The value of immersive, in-person seminar learning compared with online education. Tomomi Miyakawa also shares her perspective on learning directly from Dr Mangialavori through years of collaboration, emphasising that homeopathy is not only about acquiring knowledge, but refining perception, observation, and the art of truly listening. The episode concludes with a preview of Dr Mangialavori's forthcoming UK seminar series on Pain Management in Homeopathy, where practitioners will have the opportunity to explore these themes in far greater clinical depth through an interactive educational experience. This is not simply a discussion about treating pain. It is a conversation about understanding what pain means. About Our Guests Dr Massimo Mangialavori Dr Massimo Mangialavori is an Italian medical doctor and internationally respected homeopath whose work has influenced practitioners across the world. Qualifying in medicine in 1984, he has devoted decades to clinical practice, research and teaching. Known for his pioneering Method of Complexity, Dr Mangialavori integrates materia medica with anthropology, psychology, mythology, natural history and human behaviour, allowing practitioners to understand remedies as dynamic living patterns rather than isolated collections of symptoms. His seminars continue to inspire homeopaths globally through their depth, originality and clinical relevance.   Tomomi Miyakawa Tomomi Miyakawa graduated from the University of Edinburgh in Plant Science (Biochemistry) before completing her homeopathic studies in Integrated Medicine at the University of Westminster. Practising in London since 2004, she combines homeopathy with complementary therapeutic disciplines and has worked extensively alongside Dr Massimo Mangialavori, including serving as his English–Japanese interpreter during seminars in Japan. She is instrumental in bringing Dr Mangialavori's teaching to the UK and continues to support practitioners through education and clinical collaboration.

Week 4 of 'Practising Resurrection'This week we look at how we are called to walk like Christ, as resurrected people.

Ephesians 6:10 "Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power". This week we learn how to stand in the Lord against the powers and principalities of this world

Week 5 of 'Practising Resurrection.What does it mean to walk in the way of the resurrected Jesus. This week we find out more.

Scripture tells us  “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.” (2 Cor 10:4) As we continue our series in Ephesians we begin to look at the weapon's God has given us for the fight.

Scripture tells us  “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.” (2 Cor 10:4)  This morning we continue to look at the armour that God gives his children  for victory. 

As we come to to the end of our series on Ephesians there is one last passage to address.... it's a challenging one and often raises controversy, though all is not as you may think.

What if generosity isn't just about giving, but about joining what God is doing beyond us?In this episode of the Sunday Monday Podcast, Brad, Sam, Lauren and Dave reflect on the invitation to live as people sent by Jesus. They explore what it means to build a legacy of faith, invest in things that last beyond us, and trust God with bold, generous steps. This conversation is a reminder that the church is not called to comfort or stagnation, but to be sent in the power of the Holy Spirit for the sake of others.Runtime 27:36Key themes- Living as people sent by Jesus- Generosity that builds a legacy of faith- Investing in things that last beyond us- Trusting God with bold steps of faith- Partnering with the Holy Spirit in mission- Practising forgiveness as part of fruitful witness#SundayMondayPodcast #GatewayBaptistChurch #GatewayOnline #GatewayBeyond #CommitmentSunday #GreaterThings #SentByJesus #ChristianGenerosity #FaithInAction #ChristianPodcast #FaithConversation #BibleTeaching #MissionOfGod #FollowJesus #GatewayChurch

Thank you to listener MoonBunny5 for sharing a difficult and vulnerable question. After experiencing a very negative interaction with a rigger, she now struggles to even look at rope without feeling disgusted. She wants to know whether it's possible to return to rope after an experience like this, and if so, how. While neither Mya nor Fox are therapists, this episode explores some of the concepts that may be helpful when approaching recovery from rope-related trauma.

Can you actually play better golf when you have less time to practice? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, performance coach, psychologist, and former Stanford golf team player Don Christenson explains why the answer may be yes. Don combines decades of academic psychology with elite golf experience to reveal why intention, attention, and trust are often more important than technical practice. Drawing on the principles of The Inner Game of Tennis and Tim Gallwey, he explores how golfers can access their best performances by learning to quiet the analytical mind and trust their natural ability. In this episode: Why golfers with less practice time can sometimes improve faster The hidden power of practicing with intention How to quiet the thinking mind on the golf course Why over-analysis destroys performance The psychology behind playing "in the zone" How attention influences athletic performance Why your intellect always wants to take control Learning to trust a deeper level of intelligence The challenge of keeping golf simple Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation Why rewards can sometimes reduce motivation The indirect path to success in golf and life The happiness delusion and the pursuit of achievement Falling in love with improvement rather than outcomes How elite performers learn to get out of their own way This is a fascinating conversation for golfers, coaches, sports psychologists, and anyone interested in peak performance, mindset, focus, flow states, and human potential. About Don Christenson Don Christenson is a professor of psychology, Certified Mind Factor Coach, former Stanford University golfer, and one of the leading voices in applying Inner Game principles to golf performance and personal development.

Making Menopause Matter - When Counselling Skills Feel Difficult In Episode 378 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', they explore AI, bias and critical thinking in counselling, examining the risks of bias and discrimination and the importance of critical thinking when using AI in counselling practice. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Emma Neville about making menopause matter - exploring lived experience, advocacy, education, and the importance of open conversations around menopause. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken discuss why counselling skills can sometimes feel difficult and how students can build confidence and trust in their developing practice AI, Bias and Critical Thinking in Counselling [starts at 03:30 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken explore AI, bias and critical thinking in counselling, looking at the ethical implications of AI in practice and why critical thinking is vital for safe, inclusive, and effective client work. Key points discussed include: AI tools used in counselling may contain bias if they are trained on limited or non-diverse datasets. Therapists need to critically evaluate whether AI systems reflect the lived experiences of the clients they work with. Bias can exist across culture, gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, disability, language, and social class. AI should support reflection rather than replace professional judgement or human connection. Counsellors are encouraged to research AI tools carefully, remain sceptical of fixed recommendations, and use supervision to explore any uncertainty. The human relationship remains central to counselling - AI should never replace empathy, relational understanding, or therapeutic presence. Making Menopause Matter [starts at 26:26 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Emma Neville, menopause coach, counsellor, and founder of This Is Me, about her lived experience of early menopause and her mission to raise awareness and improve support. Key points from this conversation include: Emma shares her experience of being diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) at the age of 40 and the emotional impact this had on her identity and wellbeing. Menopause education and awareness are often lacking, leaving many women feeling isolated, dismissed, or unsupported. Partners, families, employers, and healthcare professionals all have an important role in understanding and supporting people experiencing menopause. Emma explains how coaching and community can help women feel seen, heard, validated, and empowered. Her online community ‘This Is Me' was created to encourage open conversations, shared experiences, and greater connection around menopause. Emma encourages listeners to trust their bodies, advocate for themselves, seek education early, and remember that they are not alone.

Key points include: Many counselling students experience imposter syndrome and worry that they are ‘doing it wrong'. Counselling skills are not about performing perfectly - they are about creating genuine human connection. Different counsellors may use different skills in the same situation, and there is rarely one ‘correct' response. Feedback from the person acting as the client can often be more meaningful than feedback from observers. Practising counselling skills outside formal class time can help build confidence and familiarity. Over time, counselling skills become more natural as therapists learn to trust themselves and focus more fully on the relationship.

Episode 6 — Returning Without ShameUnderstanding the Relapse Stage of ChangeIn today's episode we conclude our Change Is Not Linear series exploring the Stages of Change model developed by James Prochaska and Carlo DiClemente.This episode explores the relapse stage, or what is often referred to as “recycling” through the stages of change.Relapse is one of the most misunderstood and shame-filled parts of behaviour change, yet it is also one of the most human.In this episode we explore:Why relapse does not mean failureThe cyclical nature of healing and behaviour changeHow shame can keep people stuck longer than the behaviour itselfNervous system responses and returning to familiar coping strategiesThe emotional build-up that often happens before relapseWhy relapse rarely begins with the behaviour itselfAll-or-nothing thinking and shame spiralsThe importance of compassion, honesty, and supportHow relapse can provide important insight and informationReturning to yourself without self abandonmentWe also talk about how relapse does not erase growth, awareness, healing, or progress, and why many people move through the stages of change multiple times before long-term transformation becomes sustainable.This episode is an invitation to view setbacks with compassion instead of self punishment, and to remember that healing doesn't equal perfection but an opportunity to return to yourself again and again.Journal Prompts & ReflectionWhere in my life do I still equate struggle with failure?What usually happens emotionally before I abandon myself or return to old patterns?How do I speak to myself after mistakes or setbacks?What would change if I viewed relapse as information instead of proof that I'm broken?What support helps me return to myself when I'm struggling?Can I believe that healing is still possible, even when the journey is imperfect?In This SeriesEpisode 1 — Protecting the BehaviourEpisode 2 — Living Between Two WorldsEpisode 3 — Imagining Another LifeEpisode 4 — Practising a New Way of BeingEpisode 5 — The Practice of StayingEpisode 6 — Returning Without ShameIf this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who may need the reminder that setbacks do not erase progress, and that healing can still continue after difficult moments.

Have you ever felt your heart open and chest expand in a way you can't explain? Suddenly you feel drawn to Allah, to prayer, to practising Islam - even if you don't fully understand why. For many people, this moment of guidance arrives unexpectedly, often bringing both excitement and confusion. In this episode, we reflect on the journey of the newly guided heart - the questions it faces, the confusion of a changing life, and the first steps that help a person move forward with clarity. Guidance is the greatest blessing a person can receive. But like any journey, it requires direction. This reminder explores where that journey begins, what foundations matter most, and how to navigate a world full of voices, opinions, and distractions while holding firmly to the path of truth. Ustadh breaks down how we can turn those beautiful first moments of guidance into a lifelong journey towards Allah.

There comes a moment in a believer's journey when something quietly changes. You realise you're not where you used to be. Not where you hope to be, either. But at least… you're moving in the right direction. This episode speaks about the heart that has begun its journey back to Allah. A reminder that no step toward Him is ever small, and that Allah welcomes the returning servant with a mercy greater than we can imagine. The Prophet ﷺ told us that Allah is more joyful at the repentance of His servant than a man who finds his lost provisions in the middle of a barren desert. And sometimes the path back does not begin with something overwhelming. It begins with small, consistent acts that keep the heart moving toward Allah. Because what matters in the end is not where we started, but where we finish.

Job hunting can feel like a full-time job in itself. Scrolling listings, second-guessing roles, and trying to stand out in a sea of applications. In this How I AI episode, we walk through how AI can quietly take some of that invisible work off your plate without doing the thinking for you. We talk through how AI can support you at each stage of the job search. From spotting roles that never make it onto LinkedIn or Seek, to getting a clearer picture of what a company is really like, and making sense of job ads that feel fuzzy or overcomplicated. We also cover how to use AI to strengthen your cover letter and CV without losing your own voice, and how it can help you prepare for interviews by practicing questions and refining your answers. Neo and I discuss How scheduled AI searches can monitor company job pages and surface hidden roles Using AI to research companies through annual reports, industry context, and social chatter What AI can and cannot realistically find on platforms like Reddit and Glassdoor How to use AI to decode job ads and understand what the role actually looks like day to day Why the strongest cover letters still start with your own words Using AI to critique and tailor your CV without rewriting your experience How AI can help you prepare for interviews by generating questions and giving feedback Practising interview answers using voice or dictation mode for extra confidence Download the Job Application Pro GPT: https://amantha-imber.kit.com/09db426fdd Connect with Neo Aplin on LinkedIn and via inventium.ai, where he leads Inventium’s AI training and upskilling work with organisations and teams.
