Welcome to Cuppa 37 of 40. In this episode of the 40 for Tea, host Rachel Allan invites you to a lively conversation with NNI dialogues Jonelle Naudé and Weibke Renner.   We dive straight into tea, crossing divides and removing the charge from power words.   These powerhouse women are firm believers in the power of facilitated, genuine communication and the transformative role of empathy in resolving conflicts. At the heart of their philosophy lies the knowledge that when people's voices are truly heard, a space for understanding and new solutions are created. NNI dialogue is a systems based methodology born through working in post apartheid South Africa.  Tangible change is measured through 3 specific steps. We are challenged to question the dominating focus on the "why am I right?" mindset, which often hinders progress. Instead, we are encouraged to consider that multiple truths bring resilience to a system, fear as a protector and perhaps the emotions we feel don't always belong to us. We celebrate what it is to be human, are offered valuable perspectives on how to get unstuck in relationships, teams and in life events.  As we ask the question "how do we be with complexity and move forward together?" There's also a bit of energetic plumbing!   So grab your cuppa and let's dive in together.

This conversation with Rachel Allan contains lots of diamonds - promised! We start our conversation by talking about how and why Rachel started to dance in the morning. and what shifted for her in doing so. It began with her trying to shift her emotional state and find some ease during a difficult time in her life. We talked about how dancing is a form of bodywork where we find movement that is inspired by music. Through this practice, we not only notice a shift in the body but also emotionally. If in addition, we add an intention, such as “I want to feel joy!” dancing can help us to bridge between head and heart. Rachel talks about some very interesting research from the Heartmath Institute, such as that the heart is a powerful transmitter not only within our body but also in how we relate to others and how we impact the world around us. As if this is not enough we also talk about what the number “40” means for Rachel and she shares some tips on how to start a daily habit. And finally, we exchange some thoughts about Earl Grey Tea. Rachel helps empower people's leadership from a place of Purpose, Power, and Peace. She bridges conscious action through human skills, working with your mindset, embodiment, emotional intelligence, and spiritual practice to transform your relationship with yourself and others. Together, you are getting to the heart of the matter – and take action so you can influence positive change in the world! ________________________________________ LINKS TO RACHEL Website: https://rachallan.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/40fortea/ https://www.instagram.com/innerpeacemaking/ https://www.instagram.com/rachallan___/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rach-allan/ Podcast: https://apple.co/3MvLYlT ________________________________________ LINKS MENTIONED IN THE INTERVIEW Send your special Joy Song to Rachel via IG: https://www.instagram.com/innerpeacemaking/ Or send it via Email: rach@talkagency.co The Web of Meaning by Jeremy Lent: https://amzn.to/3sRWvjl Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://amzn.to/3sMoUaH Exploring the Role of the Heart in Human Performance - Research Conducted by the HeartMath Institute: https://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/ ________________________________________ CONNECT WITH ME Website: www.andrinatisi.com Instagram: www.instagram.com/andrinatisi/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andrinatisiLIFECURATION

On this week's episode of the Real Health podcast, I'll be discussing anxiety, what it is and how we can offer support to someone who has it. I'm joined by Counselling Psychologist and anxiety expert Dr Rachel Allan, to talk about how we can help somebody with anxiety, by becoming better listeners, supporting them when they try to make a change and how to look after our own mental health in the process. Rachel's new book, How to Help Someone With Anxiety, looks at just that. It's a practical guide to help you be there for a loved one, while giving you confidence to assist them in navigating their journey with anxiety. “Really anxiety is partly a mental response but it's so much in our bodies. Anxiety has one purpose and one purpose only and that is to keep us safe - to protect us, to tune us into a threat that might be in our environment.” Rachel says the pandemic has undoubtedly made people more anxious. “We like a sense of predictability. The pandemic has really played to our vulnerabilities in terms of anxiety. On the one hand, we've got the illness itself...in addition to that, we have all the stuff that's happened around the pandemic; lockdowns, change in employment, massive changes in how we live our lives, distance from loved ones. With all that comes a sense of unpredictability.” We also discuss how to help someone we know who has anxiety. Rachel says oftentimes, we think the best way to tackle anxiety is to remove the cause or to completely avoid certain situations. Instead, Rachel believes this can prolong the problem: “When someone close to us is suffering the most natural response is to want to make it go away. We want to make them feel better...One of the really important steps to supporting someone to live better with anxiety, is to get a little bit of an understanding of what anxiety is but also what keeps it going. And often the one thing that keeps anxiety going is the stuff we try to do to not feel anxious.” Rachel also gives us great tips on how to be better listeners, what the right questions to ask are and how to resist the urge to fix the problem.

When actor Shobna Gulati’s mum was diagnosed with dementia in 2017, she was already spending the majority of her time caring for her. Their sometimes difficult relationship was tested to the limit, but ultimately she gained a lot from those years spent in her mum’s front room. When she passed away last year she decided to write a book about her family and her mum’s illness called Remember Me? Discovering my mother as she lost her memory. At the weekend Jade Edwards will become the first woman in 13 years to race in the British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone. So why's it taken so long to see another woman on the course? Jade joins us, along with Fiona Leggate, the last female driver who competed back in 2007. Have you been given the silent treatment by another parent at school, or felt excluded from a group of mums? Now the new school year is well underway, playground politics can sometimes extend to the other side of the school gate. Jane discusses coping strategies with counselling psychologist Dr Rachel Allan and Tanith Carey, author of The Friendship Maze and Taming the Tiger Parent. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic up to 10 million children around the world are likely to be permanently excluded from getting an education according to the UK charity Theirworld. It's run by Sarah Brown, wife of the former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Ahead of a virtual session later today at the UN General Assembly Meeting she talks to Jane about how the charity advocates on global education issues at both a strategic and practical level .

Rachel Allan dances every morning for women on Instagram. One of Rachel's many super powers is that she is not easily labelled. Part creator, part connector, part coach and now podcaster, Rachel is above all else wonderfully human. In this wide ranging and open podcast, we cover women, spirituality, vulnerability and purpose. Rachel has recently launched the 40 For Tea Podcast where she shares other people’s stories and experiences of what it’s like to be human. “There are 7 billion unique perspectives in the world. What if we can hold multiple perspectives by listening to other peoples. Get curious. Talk to strangers,” encourages Rachel. Rachel’s ability to search deep inside herself and share vulnerabilities make her insights and wisdom really authentic and well worth listening to. There are no angles or sides. She speaks simple truths that allow for a deep sharing of knowledge and experience as she encourages us all to own our own experience of life as well as our emotional response to it. She reveals how the dancing is her meditation. How it came from a low place and became something joyful; “ Dancing is connecting to my own truth. It’s a moment in time that I’m not thinking about the external world.” Many of us catch ourselves in victim mode, saying things like “I have to do this”. “No you don’t”, says Rachel. Choosing our mindset. Choosing to enjoy an experience rather than be a victim of circumstance are central to her message. “ When do we ever get the chance to really question who we are in the world?” , she muses.

Ghosting is more often associated with a romantic hook up or a mate leaving a party without telling you but there's another form of ghosting that is actually more prevalent than both of those... the friend who ghosts. While you sit and wonder why they're not returning your messages, we find out from a Counselling Psychologist that it may be our technology that is making us detach from our friends.

Synopsis This title was released in January 2017. It will be exclusively available to buy from the BF website until March 31st 2017, and on general sale after this date. London, 2005. Yvonne Hartman is the undisputed head of Torchwood One. Above the government, beyond the police, she has excellent people skills; enjoys regular tea with the Queen; and effortlessly defends the British Empire from alien threats. Yvonne Hartman is excellent at her job, and inspires devotion in everyone who works with her - until, one day, she makes a terrible mistake. We all make mistakes. But only at Torchwood can a single mistake plunge your world into interstellar war. Yvonne Hartman's facing the fight of her life. One she's going to win. New Girl by Joseph Lidster “They've been coming to us for years. And we've been kept in the dark. My name's Rachel Allan. And I'm Torchwood” It's Rachel Allan's first day at Torchwood. Torchwood only takes the brightest and the best – and Rachel's wondering if Yvonne Hartman's made a terrible mistake in picking her. Plunged into a world of alien invasions and office politics, Rachel's desperate to fit in. For one thing, she really wants this job. And, for another, she knows what happens at Torchwood if you fail. Through The Ruins by Jenny T Colgan “Ianto, please. It's all… it's all gone wrong. I don't know what to think any more.” Away Days at Torchwood aren't what you'd expect. Yes, there's the forced camaraderie, the team-building exercises, and the chance for long-held rivalries to boil over. But Torchwood Away Days also have the potential to get very lethal very quickly. Yvonne Hartman's extremely worried by this year's Away Day. But she's got other things on her mind – something's very wrong with Torchwood. Uprising by Matt Fitton “Torchwood. It's taken the best part of a month, but I've finally got things running how they should be. How they should have been all along. ” Torchwood has experienced some radical changes, but things are finally settling down. Everyone has pulled together and is trying to put the past behind them. Well, except for Yvonne Hartman – she's out to win the future. There's one problem. Someone seems to have started an interstellar war. Someone who knows Torchwood from the inside out.
