In this episode I talk to Mark Walsh, world renowned embodiment and trauma coach currently teaching those in the Ukraine crisis how to manage trauma. Mark talks us through some of his ideas and concepts behind healing, and where to start your healing journey. A very insightful half an hour for anyone wanting to know more about getting deeper in touch with your emotions.

The cost of living crisis is affecting everyone, both physically and mentally. In this episode I chat with Ian about the practical changes you can make to help feel more in control during this difficult time, such as planning ahead for potential outgoings, and having those all important money conversations.

It's taken me a long time to record a podcast about this - actually, a whole year. But I'm finally ready to talk about it all. From the start, to now. From pain, to healing. The grief journey is a complex one. And I hope that in sharing this, one of you will feel a little less alone. Please check out The Miscarriage Association website for help and resources.

In this episode I explain how the anxiety I felt during 2021 led to a nervous breakdown, and how I got through it and to a place where I am able to manage it as part of my daily life. There are plenty of helpful tips and facts about how the body works to help anyone who has ever suffered from anxiety, or knows someone that has. I hope this episode allows you to have a little more compassion for yourself and your wonderful body.

Sharing a few of my tips and tricks on how to navigate through those bad days, and see them as opportunities for growth, healing and compassion rather than as pauses in progression! 

In this episode I talk to recovering porn addict Joshua Shea, now a coach, mentor, author of three books and a Ted Talk all about navigating both alcoholism and porn addiction. It's a really fascinating topic to get into, and Joshua talks about how his relationship with control, and supressed childhood traumas led to the self-growth journey he now shares with the world. The stigma around both porn and sex, although changing, means many people are suffering in silence. He is here to change that. You can find all of Josh's info, including courses, coaching and 1-2-1 sessions at www.recoveringpornaddict.com 

New relationships (or courtships - as I like to call them!) can be so daunting. Not only do you have a tonne of new chemicals and hormones running through your body, but also may be carrying past relationships fears and phobias with you into it. In this episode I cover multiple ways to tone that anxious energy right in and get more connected with yourself to function independently WITHIN a relationship. From practicing your boundaries to changing your attitudes to love and how you talk to yourself about it, I've got you covered. Please remember to seek professional help for chronic mental health conditions. Let's RISE into Romance.

In this episode both Jon and I share our experiences of spiritual awakening, whether we think they are 'necessary' for the spiritual process and both our individual journeys since the beginning to where we are now on our spiritual paths. Jon shares his moving experience at an Ayahuasca retreat in South America and how it transformed his entire way of thinking and feeling about the world. As well as how it has lead him to become a life and manifestation coach and content creator with hundreds of thousands of followers across the globe. We talk about the process of 'waking up' and how unique and individual each experience is. You can find Jon on Instagram and TikTok @jonhillstead . 

This episode is for anyone who has been interested in dipping their toes into spirituality! (The manifesting, astrology and universe alignment kind). This is the first of many episodes on this topic and a great place for beginners to start. In just half an hour I try and cover as much as I can around the origins, beliefs and motives behind spirituality - whilst acknowledging that the topic is FAR too broad to possibly all be covered in half an hour! I chat about polarities, the collective unconscious, past lives, manifesting, mirroring and loads more to help you begin your journey. Drop me a message on Instagram @rebeccaaaallen for podcast requests or questions and I will do my best!

A behind the scenes chat with the anonymous creator behind the legendary Instagram account @180daysof_not_dating . In this episode I have the honour of chatting with the serial monogamist who took 180 days without dating and documented the whole journey through doodles and diary entries on her now highly popular Instagram account. We talk about what kick-started the decision to take the break, the lessons both her and I have learnt through voluntary single-life, and the advice she would give to other people considering it. It seems we both found a lot of hidden truths through our solidarity! It's all self-love here <3
