Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer, with more than half of people dying within three months of diagnosis and 80% of people diagnosed at a late stage.In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, part of MIMS Learning's ‘Patient, Presentation, Pathway for Cancer' campaign, Rhiannon speaks to Rachel Richardson, a pancreatic cancer specialist nurse at Pancreatic Cancer UK.During their discussion, they consider the common but often vague symptoms patients may experience, including abdominal/back pain, unexplained weight loss, and new-onset diabetes. Rachel says: ‘Research does highlight that over 90% of pancreatic cancer patients will actually visit their GP with relevant symptoms in the 2 years before they're diagnosed. So really this represents such a crucial window of opportunity for earlier detection.'The discussion also covers key risk factors, the important link between pancreatic cancer and type 3c diabetes, and new diagnostic tools in development – such as breath and blood tests – that could help GPs detect pancreatic cancer earlier.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall the common, but often vague symptoms, of pancreatic cancerIdentify key risk factors, including age, family history, smoking, obesity and pancreatic cystsUnderstand the link between type 3c diabetes and pancreatic cancerRecognise the challenges in diagnosis, including late presentation and non-specific symptomsDescribe promising new diagnostic tools in development, such as breath and blood testsYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.Please note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.MIMS LearningSubscribe to MIMS LearningPodcast: Professor Willie Hamilton on cancer risk assessment toolsPodcast: Dr Patrick Holmes on identifying type 3c diabetes in primary carePancreatic cancer - red flag symptomsOther resourcesPancreatic Cancer UK.

Send us a textIn this episode of Midlife Sparkle, I explore a familiar feeling for so many of us - anxiety. I call mine Anxious Annie, and she's been with me most of my life. Annie has a way of showing up when things feel uncertain, whispering fearful thoughts about what might happen. She loves to predict the future, and in her world, it's never good news.I share how anxiety can take hold when we face change - whether it's a new job, a big decision, or even closing a business, as I did. I talk about what it felt like to be consumed by fear and self-doubt, and how I learned to manage Annie's voice with practical, grounding strategies that really work.Through my own story and examples from my clients, I unpack how anxiety convinces us that disaster is coming - and how to gently challenge that thinking. We look at how to separate fact from fiction, bring ourselves back into the present, and use physical and mindset tools to calm our nervous system.You'll learn how to:Recognise when anxiety is future-tripping and creating false stories.Use grounding techniques like deep breathing, shaking out your body, barefoot grounding, or immersing your hands in cold water.Calm your mind through humming, writing, or reflection.Challenge anxious thoughts by asking, “Is this 100 per cent factual truth?”Develop self-trust by doing the thing anyway - even when fear tells you not to.I also share a client story that beautifully illustrates how our minds can spiral into worry when the reality is often far kinder than we imagine. By naming our anxiety voice, we create distance from it, and by accepting it with compassion, we regain control.Key takeaway: You are not your anxiety. When you name it, challenge it, and soothe it, you take back your power.Action step: Next time your version of Anxious Annie pipes up, pause and ask yourself: Is what she's saying actually true? Then breathe, move, or write it out. The truth is always calmer than the story in your head.

A small hole can empty a bucket. Small foxes can ruin a vineyard. A little yeast affects a whole batch of dough. In the same way, our "small sins" can do far more damage that we may think - both to us and to those around us.We should therefore:-Recognise the "little foxes" in our life-Get rid of those foxes!-Put up fences (set boundaries) - or repair themSong of Songs 2:15, Luke 12:1-2, Romans 2:21-24, 1 Corinthians 5:1-7, Galatians 5:2-9

We have a climate crisis, housing shortages, and increasing urban disconnection, we need a pioneering radical approach to development that puts nature and human flourishing at its core. Human Nature, led by Joanna Yarrow, are creating living, breathing ecosystems that challenge how we normally go about urban design."We've boxed ourselves into a corner by having the starting point that we are separate from nature," Joanna explains. Places should not just exist alongside nature, they should be fundamentally integrated with it.Human Nature has identified three critical place typologies that could transform how we live. These are urban neighbourhoods, rural clusters, and new settlements. Their flagship project, the Phoenix in Lewes, East Sussex, demonstrates what's possible when we reimagine development."Places aren't just buildings. They are infrastructure, streets, parks, alleyways, rivers – a collection of components that includes hardware like pavements and water systems, and software like community services."The Phoenix project is a testament to this holistic approach. Spanning 7.9 hectares of former industrial land, it will become the UK's largest bio-based development, featuring 685 homes constructed primarily from natural materials like timber, hemp, and lime.But this isn't just about sustainable construction. It's about redesigning entire lifestyles. "We want to create the optimal precondition for a better, healthy, and more sustainable way of life." This means designing neighbourhoods where car dependency becomes unnecessary, where food production is integrated, and where nature isn't an afterthought but the central organising principle.Her background – growing up in a 64-acre working wood in Sussex – deeply influences her approach. "Nature was my playground," she recalls. This personal connection translates into a professional mission to mainstream sustainable living.The challenge, she argues, isn't technological. "Most of this is not rocket science. Most of this has been done already. We don't need to reinvent the wheel." Instead, we need collective will and a systemic reimagining of development.We should review the concept of “developers” to be not just extractive profit-makers, but as stewards with critical societal duty. "You are shaping people's lives for decades, generations to come. What a responsibility."Everyone can contribute to change. "The power sits with all of us to weave this into our everyday life.” This might mean walking a different route to work, engaging with local green spaces, or challenging existing development models.The benefits extend far beyond environmental considerations. These nature-integrated spaces promise improved mental health, community connection, and a sense of belonging that modern developments often strip away."Wouldn't it be wonderful, if our schools had forests instead of fences? If our walk to work included fruit trees, flowers, and bird song? If our homes and offices could breathe without us needing to open a window?"Projects like the Phoenix prove such transformative development is possible. By demonstrating viable alternatives, Human Nature is creating blueprints for a regenerative future. We can redesign our built environment to enhance not compromise both human and natural systems.https://humannature-places.com/Bonus show notes: Advice for Developers to Design Better, Based on Joanna Yarrow's insights:1. Shift Your Mindset- Stop seeing development as unit production and profit extraction- Become "stewards" rather than "extractors"- Recognise that you're shaping lives for generations, not just building temporary structures 2. Embrace Holistic Design- Don't just design buildings, design entire "places" that include: * Infrastructure * Streets * Parks * Community services * Green spaces- Consider the entire ecosystem, not just the physical structure 3. Prioritise Collaboration- Practice "deep collaboration" with: * Local communities * Specialist architects and designers * Environmental experts * Interest groups- Be transparent and open-source about your learning and processes 4. Focus on Positive Impact- Design with three core considerations: * Climate positive outcomes * Nature enhancement * Human flourishing- Create places that inspire and enable sustainable living5. Think Beyond Traditional Boundaries- Consider different place typologies: * Urban neighbourhoods * Rural clusters * New settlements- Customise design to specific bioregional contexts6. Integrate Nature Seamlessly- Don't treat nature as an "other" or additional feature- Centre nature in every design decision- Create multi-sensory experiences that connect humans with natural systems7. Enable Sustainable Lifestyles- Design spaces that make sustainable living: * Easy * Attractive * Accessible- Reduce car dependency- Incorporate food production- Create green corridors and natural infrastructure8. Engage Communities- Run collaborative design processes- Host community events and design festivals- Seek input and co-creation from local residents- Be propositional, not oppositional9. Think Long-Term- Stay involved beyond initial construction- Consider how places will be lived in and managed over decades- Create flexible, adaptable designs10. Be Ambitious and Brave- Challenge existing development models- Learn from international best practices- Don't be afraid to pioneer new approachesAs Joanna powerfully states: "We need to both inspire and enable a healthier, positive, lower impact, more sustainable way of life."How Shall We Live?” - Human Nature's research collaboration focusing on how to create new settlements with positive impacts - with Arup, Heatherwick Studio, White Arkitekter and others - Link herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/134fqrlGzislmGF4wFJ8n3Zl3j-QI9bfC/viewJoanna Yarrow is the Chief Impact Officer at Human Nature, a sustainable placemaking company dedicated to designing, building, and operating places that make sustainable living easy and attractive.Previously, Joanna served as the Global Head of Sustainable & Healthy Living at IKEA, where she led initiatives to make sustainable living affordable, attractive, and accessible worldwide.

You've got an underperformer on your team. They're missing targets, the rest of your people are watching, and you're losing sleep over it. Do you coach them through it or let them go? Make the wrong call and it could cost you six figures. One recruitment business owner discovered this the hard way when keeping someone for 11 months cost them £140K in lost revenue, £35K in salary, and nearly their top biller. Yet the opposite mistake is just as expensive: fire too quickly and you might lose someone who just needed the right support. Jane knows this firsthand. She was once ranked 250th out of 250 consultants, making 80-90 cold calls daily but placing nothing for six months, before the right coaching conversation turned her into a top-five performer within a year. In this episode, Katy and Jane break down the exact framework that helps you make this decision with confidence instead of agonising in that expensive no man's land. They reveal the critical difference between "can't do it" and "won't do it" and why confusing the two will drain your bank account and frustrate your best people. You'll hear the honest truth about why recruitment business owners struggle with this decision (hint: we want to be nice, and we're supposed to be good at hiring), and the specific patterns that tell you whether someone needs more time or needs to go. In This Episode: Discover the Can't vs Won't framework that diagnoses performance problems in weeks, not months, using activity metrics and behavioural patterns Learn the 5 core leadership needs you must nail before judging anyone's performance and why skipping this step sets you up for the wrong decision Understand how to have honest performance conversations without resorting to passive-aggressive midnight emails (we've all been there) Explore the 4-week rule that larger recruitment firms use to flag underperformance early, and why smaller agencies avoid it to their own detriment Recognise the warning signs that your top performers are watching and why tolerating mediocrity could cost you your best people Ready to stop second-guessing yourself?

Have you ever wondered how political leaders decide which issues make it to the top of the agenda?In this episode of Work with Purpose, host David Pembroke speaks with Professor Liam Smith and Dr Connor Wynn from Behaviour Works Australia to explore how politicians make high-stakes decisions under pressure and what the public sector can learn from the process.Drawing on extensive behavioural research, Smith and Wynn reveal how political leaders rely on heuristics, or mental shortcuts, to navigate complexity, limited time and competing demands. They explain how community sentiment, emotion, political capital and timing influence which policies rise to prominence, and how these forces shape outcomes across government.Listeners will learn how understanding the psychology of decision making can help them engage more effectively with ministers, anticipate shifting priorities and design advice that resonates. This is an engaging conversation about influence, timing and the human side of leadership in government, offering practical guidance for anyone working in or alongside the Australian Public Service.Key tips:Use the “wait and see” principle. Recognise when an issue is gaining traction and be ready to act when political and community momentum align.Seize the moment. Identify windows of opportunity created by events, media attention or public pressure, and present advice when decision makers are most receptive.Think like your audience. Understand how leaders and communities perceive an issue, and frame advice using real-world perspectives and public sentiment, not just technical evidence.Show notes:Behaviour Works Australia – behavioural science research and case studies: behaviourworksaustralia.orgHow the political elite make decisions - Wynn - 2025 - Australian Journal of Public Administration - Wiley Online Library Hosted on Acast.

We've all heard the advice “listen to your body” — but what does that really mean?In this episode, we're diving deep into how to truly tune in to what your body is trying to tell you — whether you're working out, feeling unmotivated, recovering, or simply navigating daily stress.You'll learn how to: 

In this episode, I'm joined by the warm and wildly wise Astrid Korin, leadership coach, consultant, and the creator of the “Inside Out Leadership” programme. We dig deep into what it really takes for sales leaders to stay resilient, especially when the pressure's on and the targets feel impossible. Astrid brings both heart and rigour, combining her experience in global leadership roles and business development with a profound understanding of human behaviour. We unpack why the best salespeople already have the raw materials for deep self-awareness and how that curiosity, when turned inward, can help them lead more effectively, coach with intention, and avoid burnout. If you've ever felt like you're “brute forcing” your way through tough quarters, or watching your team drift into exhaustion, this one's a must-listen. We also take on the myth of the “group hug” sales team and talk bluntly about why some well-meaning leadership habits can do more harm than good. How to use self-awareness to build resilience: Get curious about yourself. Notice when you're triggered, reactive or spiralling. Ask: what am I assuming? What else might be true? Pause, then choose. Interrupt automatic behaviours. Take a breath and ask: what are my options right now? Practice being the observer. Notice physical responses, emotional surges, and what they signal. Don't just react, reflect. Understand what's underneath the trigger. Many sales leaders tie their worth to outcomes. Recognise when underperformance starts to chip away at your identity. Remember: all relationships are co-created. How you land a message matters, but so does how others receive it. Take shared responsibility for communication. Timeline summary [03:02] – Astrid on how business development in International Development is sales — and why rejection builds resilience. [05:13] – Curiosity as a superpower: why assumptions kill leadership and curiosity saves it. [08:47] – Noticing the clutching: how busy-ness masks vulnerability and fear in sales roles. [10:35] – Sales leaders must lead from the inside out — or risk pushing their self-protection behaviours onto the team. [14:25] – The most practical starting point: build your observer muscle and watch how you respond. [18:03] – “How did that land?”: why good sales leaders ask, clarify and co-create understanding. [25:59] – Astrid unpacks the achievement trap — where performance becomes self-worth, and why that's dangerous. [34:45] – The honest mistake new leaders make: hitting the ground running without understanding the context. [39:33] – Astrid's billboard moment: “You are enough.” Links & resources Astrid Korin's website: www.astridkorin.com/ Connect with Astrid on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/astrid-korin-a7612969/ Learn more about the Inside Out Leadership programme (next cohort launches Feb 2026) If you got value from this episode, please rate, review and follow the show.

This month we've got four cracking UK-led studies that really speak to how pre-hospital and emergency medicine continue to evolve, not just in the kit and skills we use, but in how we think about the whole patient journey. We'll start with a paper fromAnaesthesia with Pallavicini et al., exploring pre-hospital central venous access for patients in haemorrhagic shock. Drawing on London's Air Ambulance experience, it shows that large-bore central catheters can be placed safely and effectively, delivering earlier transfusion and improved survival to ED arrival. It's high-stakes medicine in extreme circumstances, and this study gives some of the best real-world data we've seen on it. Next up we look at the impact of a paper that's genuinely changed national practice from Aljanoubi et al. in Resuscitation, looking at what happened after the AIRWAYS-2 trial landed. You'll remember AIRWAYS-2 showed no functional benefit of tracheal intubation over supraglottic airways in OHCA, but did it actually shift behaviour? This registry study of over 70,000 patients shows that it did - and dramatically. The rate of pre-hospital intubation has fallen from around 44 percent in 2014 to 14 percent by 2020, with a clear inflection right after the trial's publication. Real-world proof that evidence can truly change practice. Then, we turn to two linked Delphi consensus studies from Tim Nutbeam and colleagues, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine. The first, optimising the care of the trapped patient, develops expert-endorsed principles for managing physically trapped casualties, marking a real shift from "movement-minimisation" to time-sensitive, patient-centred extrication. The second, prioritising time-critical injuries and interventions, complements that work by defining which injuries and treatments truly can't wait — creating a shared language for multi-agency teams at the roadside. Together, these papers show how thoughtful, collaborative UK research is shaping the next generation of trauma and resuscitation care — evidence, consensus, and practice all pulling in the same direction. These latter two papers are from the team at IMPACT; The Centre for Post-Collision Research, Innovation & Translation. We've been lucky enough to collaborate with the team and deliver an online Extrication course which is now available! A bit about the course; Target audience: Fire and Rescue Service personnel, Police officers, community response scheme members, and clinicians who respond to collisions or who wish to update their awareness of consensus extrication guidance. Aims: To improve awareness and adoption of evidence-based, patient-focused extrication principles among operational responders by providing a concise, accessible, and practical educational resource that bridges consensus guidance and real-world operational practice.Learning outcomes: The course will enable participants to: Describe the evidence base underpinning contemporary extrication practice. Apply a patient-focused approach to decision-making during extrication. Employ endorsed decision support tools, including EXIT decision aids, to case-based scenarios.

How to reshape culture in Japan without breaking what already works.  What is the first question leaders should ask when inheriting a Japanese workplace? Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change.  How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved.  Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades.  Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves.  How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions.  Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice.  FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

Today, we're diving headfirst into the delightful myth that unless your purpose is grand and booming, it's not worth pursuing. Spoiler alert: that's a big ol' pile of poppycock! Your purpose doesn't need to be the loudest voice in the room; sometimes, it just needs to make a gentle ripple. We're chatting about how those little acts of kindness and presence can change the world in ways we might not even notice—like scattering joy confetti everywhere! So grab your cuppa, settle in, and let's explore how the small, everyday moments can transform lives in the most unexpectedly lovely ways. Remember, it's all about those tiny ripples that can spark a wave of happiness! “Pebbles of Purpose”This week on Myth Busting Monday, we're flipping one of the biggest lies about purpose: that it has to be grand to make a difference.What if the smallest acts — a conversation, a smile, a moment of presence — are the ones that shift the world the most?In this episode, Heather shares personal stories that prove quiet, everyday intentions often carry the loudest echoes. From a single afternoon spent comforting a stranger, to sparking smiles on her London commute, to rekindling her parents' joy one Christmas — these are pebbles of purpose dropped along the path of an ordinary life that turned out to create extraordinary ripples.You'll learn to:Recognise the small, invisible ways you already create impactLet go of the “go big or go home” pressure and reconnect with purpose through compassionRedefine what it means to live meaningfully in your own, gentle wayAnd you'll be invited to notice your own pebbles of purpose — the quiet sparks of kindness you've sprinkled without realising.Because the myth says you have to change the world.The truth is, you already are.Listen now and remember — small purposes often wear quieter shoes.Takeaways:Your purpose doesn't have to be a roaring lion; sometimes it just needs to ripple like a gentle wave.Small acts of kindness can change the world more than we think, one smile at a time.Living your purpose often happens quietly in the background, without needing a spotlight.Finding purpose is less about searching high and low and more about noticing the little things we do every day.Chapters:00:18 - Introduction to Today's Myth01:08 - The Impact of Small Acts of Purpose03:02 - Finding Purpose in Connection and Celebration04:32 - Recognizing Small Purposes07:11 - Embracing Small Acts of KindnessCall to Action:Feeling like your mind's been running ahead of your soul?Join Heather for The Power Pause Weekend—a two-part online retreat to rest, reset, and rebuild your creative rhythm.Reserve your space at ChoosingHappy.space/powerpauseHow You Can Connect with Heather and Support This Independent Podcast:Please like, share with someone who may need to hear this today, and/or leave a review and support the podcast.

Do you ever feel like your life is too full to make meaningful changes, even though you know something needs to shift? This week, I'm helping you recognise and shift the thought errors that keep you stuck in that cycle. These patterns of thinking, like “I don't have time”, “it's not the right moment”, or “this will take too much”, feel true, but they're often just your brain's way of avoiding discomfort.   In this episode, I walk you through how to identify these thought errors for what they are, challenge them, and replace them with questions that open up new possibilities. You'll learn how to work with your brain instead of against it, so you can stop waiting for the perfect moment and start making progress today. Whether your goals feel too big, too far away, or just too hard to start, this conversation will help you take the next doable step toward real change.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://maisiehill.com/250   Join us in the Powerful membership: https://maisiehill.com/powerful

Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.1. A problem cannot be solved if you do not know what it is. ²Even if it is really solved already you will still have the problem, because you will not recognize that it has been solved. ³This is the situation of the world. ⁴The problem of separation, which is really the only problem, has already been solved. ⁵Yet the solution is not recognized because the problem is not recognized.2. Everyone in this world seems to have his own special problems. ²Yet they are all the same, and must be recognized as one if the one solution that solves them all is to be accepted. ³Who can see that a problem has been solved if he thinks the problem is something else? ⁴Even if he is given the answer, he cannot see its relevance.3. That is the position in which you find yourself now. ²You have the answer, but you are still uncertain about what the problem is. ³A long series of different problems seems to confront you, and as one is settled the next one and the next arise. ⁴There seems to be no end to them. ⁵There is no time in which you feel completely free of problems and at peace.4. The temptation to regard problems as many is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. ²The world seems to present you with a vast number of problems, each requiring a different answer. ³This perception places you in a position in which your problem solving must be inadequate, and failure is inevitable.5. No one could solve all the problems the world appears to hold. ²They seem to be on so many levels, in such varying forms and with such varied content, that they confront you with an impossible situation. ³Dismay and depression are inevitable as you regard them. ⁴Some spring up unexpectedly, just as you think you have resolved the previous ones. ⁵Others remain unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt you from time to time, only to be hidden again but still unsolved.6. All this complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the problem, and therefore not to let it be resolved. ²If you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer because you would see its relevance. ³Perceiving the underlying constancy in all the problems that seem to confront you, you would understand that you have the means to solve them all. ⁴And you would use the means, because you recognize the problem.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins has blasted the government's decision not to recognise Palestinian statehood, calling it "morally reprehensible" and a failure of leadership. Mr Hipkins spoke to Corin Dann.

The government is being criticised for its decision not to recognise Palestine at the UN General Assembly last week. Political reporter Anneke Smith spoke to Corin Dann from New York

Husam Zomlot was born in a refugee camp in Gaza and has since become one of the most prominent Palestinian voices on the world stage. In 2017, Zomlot was appointed envoy to the United States, until the Trump administration shut down the PLO mission in Washington. The following year he became Head of the Palestinian Mission in London, a role that has now been elevated to Ambassador after the UK's formal recognition of the State of Palestine. He has been a leading voice for Gaza throughout the recent conflict, while also enduring devastating personal loss, with members of his own family killed in the violence. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Husam Zomlot speaks with Krishnan Guru-Murthy about his childhood, the growing recognition of a Palestinian state and the hope for him and his people.

Ten countries recognised Palestine this week, including the UK, France and Canada. Why now? Andrew Mueller examines the geopolitical and domestic reasons behind the shift. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia has joined 150-plus countries who now officially recognise a Palestinian state. But after nearly two years of war in Gaza, and a death toll in excess of 65,000, what would a state of Palestine even look like? Is this recognition purely symbolic, or does it have real-world implications? And could it help bring an end to the conflict?

France is due to be the latest country to recognise the state of Palestine. But could it spark a backlash from Israel? Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has said recognition gives "a huge reward to terrorism".We hear from a member of France's national assembly, and from both Israelis and Palestinians. Also on the programme: the Egyptian president pardons the dual British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, after years in prison; and the literature professor who stumbled across lost stories from one of the most important writers of the twentieth century - Virginia Woolf.(Photo:The Grabels mayor's house flies the Palestinian flag next to the French and European Union flags, in Grabels, Southern France on 22 September 2025.

What will change when the UK and other allies declare that Palestine is a state? Liberal Democrat MP Layla Moran and Lord Walney discuss. Plus, Steve Rosenberg on the Intervision red carpet and a call for music listening devices designed for dementia patients. Michael Gove, Stephen Bush and Karin Von Hippel review the papers.

The government is expected to press ahead with recognition of Palestinian statehood, before a formal declaration at the United Nations. Prime Minister Keir Starmer set out plans earlier this year to recognise Palestine – but what does this actually mean? And what does the move actually achieve; is it driven by principle, by politics – or by pressure from within his own party?Michael Stephens of RUSI and Gabriel Pogrund of the Sunday Times join James Heale to assess the significance of this shift. They discuss the backlash from countries like the US, the unease within Labour ranks and the growing tension between domestic politics and Britain's standing with allies in the Middle East. France, Australia and Canada, close allies of Britain, announced their own plans to recognise Palestine, yet the US has condemned any move.
