In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana sits down with psychotherapist, lecturer, writer, and former British Army soldier Liam Wakefield to unpack what really sits behind the phrase adversity builds character. This is a straight talking deep dive into childhood adversity, war, chronic illness, identity fracture, PTSD language, and the messy inner work it takes to rebuild a self that feels honest. Liam breaks down adversity driven growth, the role of narrative, inner parts, surrender, isolation, and depth without glamorizing suffering.  About the Guest: Liam Wakefield is a psychotherapist, lecturer, and writer who previously spent 11 years as a British Army soldier. His life has moved through childhood adversity, dangerous deployments, a rare genetic condition, and a full career pivot into psychotherapy. He now runs clinical practices in Sussex and London, lectures on depth psychology and trauma, and writes about adversity driven growth, identity, and the internal architecture of the self. Key Takeaways : Adversity is inevitable suffering, not a virtue. It becomes a catalyst for growth only when we change our relationship to the wound instead of forcing quick positivity. The psyche often fractures under pressure. We build defensive structures to survive. Growth starts when we consciously meet those fractured parts instead of pretending to be “fine”. Surrender is different from giving up. Liam describes surrender as accepting that the current version of you cannot carry everything. That honest collapse creates space for a more aligned self to emerge. Identity is made of many parts. Soldier, carer, sick, strong, protector, vulnerable. Healing means learning which part is speaking, which part is in fear, and which part is capable of leading with integrity. Adversity can distort when it becomes your whole identity or a shield from accountability. It deepens character when it is integrated, not worshipped. Real growth is privilege coded to a degree. Community, resources, and psychological support matter. At the same time, isolation and disconnection are often bigger threats than the pain itself. The work is not to be grateful for suffering. The work is to use what happened as data, depth, and perspective without letting it define your future.

Meghan Markle's holiday Netflix special, With Love, Meghan: Holiday Celebration, drops today – complete with crafts, cookies, cameos and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it Harry kitchen kiss – but critics say this Christmas outing may be a make-or-break test for her brand. We look at the guest list, the Archewell spin, and fresh reports that Netflix and WME see the coming year as crucial as Meghan lines up brief on-screen cameos to boost As Ever. Then we turn to Windsor, where the German President's state visit puts the Prince and Princess of Wales front and centre once again, fuelling new talk of how differently the Wales and Sussex households are now positioning themselves on the world stage.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Meghan Markle is said to be “devastated” after a Thanksgiving turkey video sparked online fury over her kitchen hygiene, just as lukewarm buzz around her Netflix holiday special raises questions about whether a third season will ever happen. We look at reports that the Sussexes are suddenly keeping a lower profile, the Real Housewives of London cast's frosty reaction to the idea of Meghan joining the show, and new claims that Prince Andrew wants £75 million, a replacement Sandringham home and full support staff before he'll even think about leaving Royal Lodge. Plus, we've got fresh reporting on a possible public inquiry into the Andrew lease deal, his and Sarah's apparent absence from Christmas at Sandringham for a second year running, an Eric Clapton date on the Sandringham estate, and why today's German state visit optics have some observers saying William is already acting like the monarchy's de facto operational leader – as Queen Camilla quietly says goodbye to her “hot” equerry Major Ollie Plunket.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

This week on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast, Geordie & Michelle look at two Black Widows...Betty Neumar, dubbed the "Black Widow Granny," was a seemingly ordinary woman - except for the fact that all five of her husbands were dead. When Police began investigating exactly how her husbands died, the details were sketchy. With little evidence and a lot of speculation, two questions emerged: was Betty a serial killer who knocked off her hubbies for the insurance money? Or was she a woman who was dealt a REALLY crappy hand of bad luck? Michelle investigates...Geordie follows with a mini dive into the life of Dena Thompson - AKA, The Black Widow of Sussex. Murderer, fraudster, catfisher, bigamist - Dena knew how to reel in vulnerable men and rinse them for all they had. But how did she con all these blokes? What were her tactics? And how did it all unravel for her? Listen now to hear how Dena mixed charm with deception to get what she wanted...So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week's episode, plus chat about peanut butter, a woman who was nearly cremated, an echidna spot and more, only on Eavesdroppin' comedy podcast.

Imagine if you were listening to an opera or a Taylor Swift concert, and as the lights in the auditorium dimmed, the music was accompanied by a rainbow of colours only you could see. Perhaps while listening to your friends talking, you simultaneously experience a smorgasbord of tastes, with different words evoking different flavours, maybe a delicious ice cream, or something as disgusting as ear wax... This merging of the senses is known as synaesthesia, and it's the rich research world of neuropsychologist Professor Julia Simner. Julia runs the Multisense lab at the University of Sussex and has pioneered research into understanding how special brains process our sensory world in special ways. In the studio she tests Jim to see if he might be a synaesthete or have aphantasia, which is the inability to view images in the mind's eye. The results are surprising. Julia's discovered links to autism, and to different personality types, as well as a number of previously unknown sensory differences. She describes her career and her life as a series of swerves, or sliding door moments, that have led her to study the subject and the people she's passionate about. She says that the more she looks for these unusual traits in us the more she finds.Presenter Jim Al-Khalili Producer Geraldine Fitzgerald Executive Producer Alexandra Feachem

The Duchess of Sussex kicks off December the only way she knows how: with a fresh avalanche of headlines. Meghan fires back at accusations she kept a designer dress without permission, unveils a meticulously curated “relatable mom” breakfast routine, and once again features Archie and Lilibet in that now-infamous fake-private photo style critics say is more marketing than motherhood. Then she sparks a Thanksgiving food fight after rubbing down a raw turkey—bracelets on, hair loose, no gloves—in what Reddit quickly dubbed “Salmonella Sussex.” We also look at the new As Ever push inside Soho Home, the brand's traffic struggles compared to Goop, and the viral backlash over her illegible leather bookmark.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Prince Harry's appearance as the headline speaker at a Toronto real estate conference is raising eyebrows across the royal world. Tickets cost up to four hundred ninety-nine Canadian dollars, the event is political in tone, and commentators question whether this latest paid engagement pushes the Duke even further from any possible royal return.

Meghan Markle has someone announce "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" when she enters a room—even when she appears to be the only other person there. The Harper's Bazaar detail prompts accusations she's risen to "comic levels of self-importance," with one critic comparing it to the SNL sketch announcing "Lord and Lady Douchebag."She also admits she invited herself to Balenciaga's Paris show. The Kardashian fallout deepens as Kris Jenner reportedly "cannot let slide" the photo deletion request, planning to freeze out the Sussexes from Hollywood. Bethenny Frankel delivers brutal analysis: they tried to put "50 pounds of shit in a five-pound bag." Questions emerge over whether Meghan kept a designer dress from a 2022 photoshoot. Harry felt like "fish out of water" at Jenner's party and now wants to bring the children to UK against Meghan's wishes.

It's 30 years since the BBC televised Martin Bashir's infamous Panorama interview with Princess Diana - and now Andy Webb is claiming in his new book ‘Dianarama' that it may ultimately have led to her death. He joins Piers Morgan to discuss the reasons why. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been forced to deny reports that she stole a $1,700 dress as her new Christmas special on Netflix gets dismal reviews - and people are still rolling their eyes over the Harper's Bazaar interview in which she was formally introduced to her interviewer as Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. And the most disgraced former royal of all Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been told by the Prime Minister that he should testify in the US about Jeffrey Epstein.

This week's episode dives into a crowded lineup of public figures who all managed to confuse PR maneuvering with actual accountability: President Trump's “quiet piggy” moment on Air Force One and the broader pattern behind his attacks on women in the press, Larry Summers' fog-filled non-apology after his Epstein emails resurfaced, Pope Leo XIV's straightforward call for human dignity contrasted with a White House response that dodged the moral point entirely, Kevin Spacey's nightclub comeback performance and his ongoing attempt to swap personal suffering for responsibility, and Meghan Markle's Harper's Bazaar profile, complete with an Upper East Side house manager announcing “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” to an empty room. It's a week full of case studies in what happens when leaders and celebrities choose optics over truth, and why audiences, voters, and stakeholders are paying closer attention to who names their missteps and who tries to PR their way out of them.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Harry wants the kids back in Britain — even if Meghan hates the idea — and insiders say he's ready to push ahead “no matter the consequences.” Reports claim he misses pubs, old friends, and actual British life. Meanwhile, fallout from Kris Jenner's Bond-theme bash continues, with experts saying Harry looked like a “fish out of water” and the Kardashians are privately fuming. Tom Sykes dissects Picture-gate, PR pros slam Meghan's “return to acting,” Bethenny Frankel says the Sussexes “tried to ride two horses,” and Meghan posts an early holiday stocking-stuffing video because of course she does.

Meghan Markle's Harper's Bazaar cover is making headlines not just for the clothes and quotes, but for the moment a house manager reportedly announced, “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex,” into an almost empty Upper East Side room. Supporters say it is simply protocol and branding, with etiquette expert Myka Meier noting that using a British title socially or professionally “is not unusual or improper,” especially when that's how someone is widely known. Critics, however, accuse Meghan of clinging to status she once claimed not to care about, with royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams calling the scene “pricelessly comic” and suggesting it would fit straight into a South Park sketch. The New York Post's Kristin Fleming compared it to an old Saturday Night Live bit about overblown introductions, while others pointed out that protocol usually calls for visitors to be presented to a royal, not the royal being announced to a guest. Meanwhile, opinion writers are picking apart the “makeup-free” aesthetic of the shoot, with The Independent's Katie Rosseinsky questioning why bare-faced celebrity portraits are treated as acts of bravery in between luxury knitwear, Balenciaga, and perfect skin.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Read the Chatham House report Gold and the war in Sudan. It covers how Sudan's main warring parties – the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) – were in competition for the country's natural resources, and how the fight to control gold assets has been one of the drivers of the conflict.   Read our latest: Comment: South Africa's G20 presidency demonstrates the challenge of inclusion in a fractious world Comment: Low-cost Chinese AI models forge ahead, even in the US, raising the risks of a US AI bubble Comment: Ukraine's arms deal with France faces major hurdles before it can be realized Presented by Bronwen Maddox.

Friends say Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is embracing life without titles, joking about dating apps and introducing himself as “Mr Windsor,” even as newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein's circle refer to a possible “massage” at Ghislaine Maxwell's London home and revive pressure for answers. Biographers and former staff paint a long portrait of Andrew as indulged, difficult and often bullying, while Sarah Ferguson's latest children's book is quietly withdrawn and commemorative plaques bearing Andrew's name are removed in the Falkland Islands amid calls to rename streets and landmarks. In the celebrity world, Paris Hilton turns heads by wearing a gown once made famous by Kate at a Bond premiere, palace sources dispute claims that Harry's Canadian visit was flagged in advance, and Tom Sykes in The Royalist argues that the Sussexes have stumbled into another public relations crisis over deleted party photos and disputed “consent forms,” raising fresh questions about a brand built on telling the truth.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Palden Jenkin in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://penwithbeyond.blog/about/ https://www.palden.co.uk/podcasts.html About Palden I was born in Hartfield in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex in 1950, in a nursing home which not long before had been the American Generals' HQ in Britain in WW2. A fine start. I grew up in 1950s Cardiff, Wales, and in 1960s Liverpool, and here my spiritual path began at age 16, tripping out on acid and beginning to see things in an entirely dfferent way. Went to university at the London School of Economics in 1969 during its time of revolution. I never looked back. This was the big change-point in my life, which set the course for all the rest of it. In today's terminology I was radicalised, thereafter dedicating my life to world change, and personal change with it, though very much tied up with it. Later I lived in the mountains of Snowdonia, Wales, then I had to leave the country in 1974, regarded by the authorities and media as a traitor and even a murderer, to live in Sweden until 1980. I'm really grateful for the safety and healing Sweden gave me. I married a Swedish lady, Berit, and we had two kids and many adventures, partly in Stockholm and partly in the forest in northern Uppland. There, as an English teacher of political refugees, inadvertently I started my later humanitarian work, in which I came to specialise in trauma recovery, social reconstruction and freelance intelligence work in conflict zones. During that time, after seven years' study, I became an astrologer. Since then I have counselled a few thousand people, writing three astrology books and founding the astrology camps in the 1980s. But I didn't easily fit into Sweden and, when I found out I was exonerated of my former alleged crimes, I returned to Britain. This involved a painful end to my marriage and the loss of two children. I landed in Glastonbury and I cried my eyes out with grief for two years in men's groups and therapy groups. This was a big change too, opening me up for something. Then came my instructions and I came alive again. In 1983-84 I started the UK camps movement – first with indoor gatherings in Glastonbury, then with summer camps, at first near Glastonbury, and later round the country. The Glastonbury Camps, spontaneously started and lasting three years, were followed from 1987 by the OakDragon Camps, from both of which many other camps organisations sprouted, in several countries.   By 1990 I was burned out, and there were quite a few people in the OakDragon who wanted to take things a different way. So, sad about that, I left and started again. I  went into book editing with an enlightened publisher called Gateway Books. In 1992 when I was asked to write The Only Planet of Choice – a book of communications from some cosmic beings called the Council of Nine. It was a privilege to write. I was also involved with editing a series of books by and about the Austrian genius Viktor Schauberger, and five books of alternative ideas about Jesus, and lots of other books too, through the 1990s.

In this episode I sit down with Lis Long, founder of Apron, to explore how a forgotten patch of land in Buckingham Park became a thriving community garden – and how that small beginning has grown into an ambitious plan for a regenerative community farm in Lancing. Lis shares the story behind Apron, from the early pop-up craft sessions to building a garden from reclaimed materials during lockdown. We talk about food growing, heritage fruit trees, nature school, biodiversity, and the surprising power of small green spaces to rebuild confidence, connection and community. We also discuss Apron's next chapter – four acres of former equestrian land that Lis and her volunteers are turning into a space for wetland restoration, heritage craft, community food and practical climate action. The project is now in its crowdfunding phase, and Lis explains what support is needed to bring the site to life. If you're curious about community growing, regenerative practices or how local people can restore nature on their doorstep, this episode is a gentle, hopeful listen full of practical insight.

Palace Intrigue delivers explosive royal warfare as Meghan Markle deliberately sabotages Prince William's Rio Earthshot triumph by announcing her return to acting in Amazon MGM comedy Close Personal Friends. The Duchess appears as herself alongside Brie Larson and Lily Collins, with sources declaring "this is a massive moment for Meghan"—timed precisely to steal headlines from William's globally-televised ceremony with Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes. Alexander Larman exposes the calculated attack: "Although Harry claims Buckingham Palace was informed of his movements, it feels like a deliberate attempt to draw attention in his own direction." The Sussex moves continue undermining William's "tightly choreographed" reset after Andrew's disgrace.Meanwhile, explosive revelations expose Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor being offered a lavish 6-bedroom Abu Dhabi waterfront palace by UAE president—his longtime Gordonstoun school friend. The Sea Palace compound villa includes home cinema, indoor pool, gym, and gold-detailed fixtures, offering the disgraced royal a golden Middle Eastern exile.

In the early 2000s, a predator was stalking the quiet towns and villages that circle London — communities linked not by proximity, but by terror. Over twelve months, women across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Hertfordshire were attacked in their homes, in parks, and on suburban streets. The press would call him “The M25 Rapist.” In this episode of Seeing Red, we uncover the crimes of Antoni Imiela — a seemingly ordinary family man whose violent attacks left police baffled and women afraid to walk alone. We'll trace how DNA evidence finally exposed him, the shocking scale of his crimes, and the chilling arrogance of a man who believed he'd never be caught. Because sometimes, the most dangerous monsters aren't hiding in the city — they're living right next door. Why not BINGE our back catalogue of over a HUNDRED Patreon exclusive bonus episodes?
