  5 Signs of Narcissistic Abuse & How to Break Free 16.09.2026 48мин

  How do you know if you’re actually dealing with a narcissist, and what do you do once you realise you might be? In this episode, I sit down with relationship expert, coach and author Lorin Krenn for a deep dive into narcissism, toxic relationship dynamics, gaslighting and the patterns that can make it so difficult to leave. We unpack the clearest signs of narcissistic behaviour, why a lack of genuine accountability matters more than simply saying “sorry,” how narcissists can manipulate your perception of reality, and the difference between someone with unhealthy traits and someone who consistently refuses to take responsibility for the pain they cause. We also explore why empathetic people can find themselves stuck in toxic relationships, what happens when a narcissist feels they’re losing control, spiritual narcissism, narcissistic parents, the wounded masculine and feminine, and how to protect yourself without losing trust in love altogether. Lorin also shares practical advice for anyone questioning their relationship, including why writing down what actually happened can help you regain clarity when you’ve been made to doubt your own experience. In this episode: • The clearest signs of narcissistic behaviour • Narcissistic traits vs a narcissist • Gaslighting and losing trust in your own reality • Why genuine repair matters more than an apology • Why leaving a toxic relationship can feel so difficult • What happens when a narcissist loses control • Spiritual narcissism and toxic gurus • Narcissistic mothers, fathers and family dynamics • The wounded vs divine masculine and feminine • How to stop abandoning yourself for connection • Rebuilding trust after a toxic relationship • Finding healthy love after narcissistic abuse If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Am I the problem?”, constantly questioning your own reality, or trying to understand why someone you love refuses to take accountability, this conversation is for you.

  How to Break ANY Habit Dangerously Fast 09.09.2026 39мин

  What if breaking a bad habit had less to do with discipline and more to do with understanding how your brain actually works? In this episode, I sit down with entrepreneur, author and speaker Eric Edmeades to unpack the psychology behind bad habits and why relying on willpower may be one of the biggest mistakes we make when trying to change our behaviour. We talk about why humans are incredibly good at forming habits but historically never needed to become good at breaking them, how our modern environment is working against us, and why phones might be one of the hardest habits of all to escape. Eric completely changed the way I think about quitting too. Instead of trying to quit something forever, he explains why it can be much more powerful to simply focus on stopping, one decision at a time. We get into smoking, vaping, alcohol, sugar, emotional eating and social media, as well as the emotional patterns that keep certain behaviours alive. Eric explains how our environment, the people we spend time with and even the people we admire can quietly shape the habits we pick up. He also shares why he believes habits do not necessarily take 21 or 66 days to form, how one emotionally intense moment can sometimes create or break a habit instantly, and why keeping small promises to yourself can help rebuild trust in your own ability to change. One of my favourite parts of the conversation is when Eric gives me and the crew a ridiculously simple technique to interrupt mindless scrolling without having to delete social media or swear it off forever. If there is something in your life you have been trying to stop, whether it is scrolling, smoking, drinking, overeating or something completely different, I think this episode will make you look at it differently.

  You’re Not Manifesting. You’re Just Fantasising (Here’s the Difference) 02.09.2026 17мин

  Are you manifesting your dream life, or just fantasising about it? In this solo episode, I break down the difference between wishing for the life you want and actually creating it. I talk about why fantasising can sometimes keep you stuck in the energy of not having something yet, and how true manifestation requires clarity, visualisation, belief, and aligned action. I share how to use all five senses to visualise what you want as if it’s already happening, why gratitude is one of the most powerful tools for calling more into your life, and why your dreams need to move from “one day” into the present moment. Whether it’s manifesting money, love, health, your dream job, or a completely different version of your life, the first step is getting clear on what you actually want. I also share personal stories of how manifestation has worked in my own life, from writing down a financial goal that once felt impossible, to taking action on TikTok, to creating opportunities that helped me move closer to the life I had been visualising. This episode is a reminder that manifestation isn’t just about thinking positively or making a vision board. It’s about deciding what you want, believing it’s possible, taking action, and becoming the version of yourself who can actually receive it. If you’ve been feeling stuck, unsure what you want, or caught between dreaming about a better life and actually moving towards one, this episode is for you.

  If You're In Between Phases of Life, This Video is For You 26.08.2026 26мин

  What do you do when you know something in your life needs to change… but you’re terrified of getting it wrong? In this episode, I sit down with Africa Brooke to talk about the messy, uncomfortable in-between phases of life - the moments where you know one chapter is ending, but you don’t yet know what comes next. We talk about breakups, sobriety, self-worth, accountability, fear, and the courage it takes to walk away from something that no longer feels aligned. Africa shares how her own experiences with addiction, heartbreak, self-sabotage, and major life transitions taught her to stop living from fear and start choosing herself more honestly. We also explore why so many people stay “uncomfortably comfortable,” how to move from feeling like the audience member of your own life to the driver’s seat, and why the truth can be painful… but deeply freeing. Africa Brooke is a mentor, consultant, writer, and speaker whose work explores self-expression in the face of self-censorship, fear, and self-sabotage. Through her work, she helps people take accountability for their lives, reconnect with their truth, and express themselves with more courage and integrity.

  Watch This Before You End Your Relationship 05.08.2026 43мин

  Are you stuck at a crossroads, wondering whether to save your relationship or walk away? In this episode, I’m sitting down with hospitality tycoon and author of Before You Go, Luca Maggiora. After nearly losing his marriage within a few years after the wedding, Luca and his wife turned things around through years of deep, transformative therapy. He shares the raw, practical lessons that saved his marriage and how couples can learn to navigate the hardest storms together. Here is what we covered: Why the myth of finding the "right person" is destroying modern relationships. The traffic light rule (green, yellow, red) for managing arguments and avoiding destructive fights. Why 50% to 60% of relationships fracture after having a baby and how to prevent it. The danger of emotional cheating, white lies, and the hard truth about rebuilding trust. How to stop projecting your past onto your partner and start taking true accountability. The power of non-negotiable boundaries and showing up for the life you said yes to. What became clear to me is that love isn't just about finding a shortcut or looking for greener grass… it’s about willingness, self-awareness, and doing the hard internal work every single day. If you’ve been questioning your own relationship, trying to find clarity on whether to stay or go, or looking for the tools to make your partnership last, this conversation is for you

  How to Know When it’s Time to Leave Your Relationship 22.07.2026 46мин

  Are you torn between staying in your relationship or walking away? Because right now, so many of us are staying out of attachment, comfort, or fear… rather than actual love. It is one of the hardest questions we face, and no one really talks about how difficult it is to walk away when someone hasn't actually done anything "wrong." Mimi Ikonn is an entrepreneur, self-development advocate, and author of the book The Courage to Choose Yourself. She joins me to talk about navigating relationships, why desire slowly fades over time, and how to know when a relationship container has genuinely expired. This conversation isn't about forcing something that isn't working, it's about having the courage to face the truth.
