  Ep 347 Interview Sessions with Niall Donnan | Restoring Human Connection - What Would You Do With One Final Hour? 12.08.2026 55мин

  At 24 years old, Niall Donnan has built his work around something remarkably simple: human connection. From asking strangers for hugs to using social media to support people who need help, his mission begins with the belief that a small act of genuine connection can matter far more than we realise.But that mission was born from loss.During COVID restrictions, Niall visited his granny to deliver cigarettes she had asked him to collect. He sanitised the packet, left it outside and spoke to her from a distance rather than going inside. As he returned to his car, she told him she loved him. Niall drove away.She died suddenly the following evening.It meant that an interaction defined by distance, sanitisation and a hurried goodbye became the final time he ever saw somebody with whom he had shared so much of his childhood.That experience gave Niall a question he continues to ask himself and others:What would you do if you had one hour left to live?Most people do not describe achievement, status or possessions. They imagine sitting beside somebody they love.So if that is where we would choose to spend our final hour, why don't we spend more of our ordinary hours doing the same?We explore Niall's journey from feeling directionless at 18, through periods of sadness and anxiety, to finding purpose through service. We discuss the difference between having followers and having influence, why Niall chooses to use social media to create something positive, the stories of people he has met through his work and why strangers can sometimes reveal their humanity to one another in extraordinary ways.Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanConnect with Niall Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/niall.donnan/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/niall.donnan.3/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nialldonnanGo Fund Me Page: https://www.gofundme.com/u/c7ec636f-94a3-43c9-b87a-566ebdae807bConnect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Join our mailing list: https://abty.co.uk/contactExplore ABTY coaching: https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to: [email protected]:00:00 – Meet Niall Donnan01:56 – Finding Purpose Through the Path02:48 – Life Without a Dream at 1804:46 – The Experience That Changed Everything05:30 – Niall's Final Visit to His Granny08:11 – What If You Had One Hour Left?09:00 – Ryan Reflects on Losing His Nan10:00 – Grief, Sadness and Finding Direction12:49 – Using Social Media for Good13:03 – What Do You Influence?14:03 – The People Behind the Videos16:46 – Why Niall Hugs Strangers18:01 – Escaping the Need to Conform20:00 – Loving People Without Controlling Them24:07 – The Privilege of Being Seen and Heard25:01 – When People Have Nobody27:02 – Has Convenience Made Us Disconnected?30:05 – We Connect at the Edges32:03 – Challenging the Stories We Inherit35:04 – Turning Attention Into Help36:01 – Helping Susie and Bob38:02 – You Don't Need Enormous Resources39:07 – Rebuilding Community Through Love41:04 – Getting Support to Grow the Mission43:44 – What Would Niall's Granny Say Now?44:11 – What Did Her Hug Feel Like?45:05 – Signs, Synchronicity and Stoke City47:12 – The Heartprint of a Hug47:57 – Return to the Final-Hour Question49:00 – Simplicity Wins51:11 – Football and Finding Joy in the Moment52:08 – Connect With Niall52:54 – Your Action: Send the Message#NiallDonnan #HumanConnection #GoFundMe

  Ep 346 Interview Sessions with Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D | Beyond Darwin - The New Theory of Evolution 05.08.2026 1ч 10мин

  In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, host Ryan Hartley welcomes back cell biologist and bestselling author Dr Bruce Lipton for a conversation centred on his new book, Beyond Darwin: How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity’s Future.Bruce opens with a stark warning: our present civilisation is not sustainable. Humanity is consuming beyond the resources of one planet, damaging the web of life and continuing to operate through systems built upon competition, separation and survival.At the centre of the conversation is Bruce’s challenge to the cultural interpretation of Darwinian evolution. He argues that “survival of the fittest” has programmed civilisation to see life as a struggle and other people as competitors. His alternative theory of conscious evolution draws together epigenetics, quantum science and fractal geometry, presenting cooperation rather than competition as life’s true evolutionary strategy. Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanThis episode is not medical advice.About Beyond DarwinBeyond Darwin: How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity’s Future is written by Bruce H. Lipton, PhD, with Patricia King.Bruce presents a unified theory of conscious evolution built upon three fields that were unavailable to Darwin: epigenetics, quantum physics and fractal geometry. The book challenges the idea that competition is evolution’s essential survival mechanism and instead presents cooperation, environmental responsiveness and expanding consciousness as the pathway forwards.It positions contemporary global chaos as the cocoon stage of an evolutionary process: a necessary breakdown through which a more advanced and cooperative civilisation may emerge. Bruce describes the work not only as an alternative theory of evolution, but as a blueprint for igniting that change. The book is due for release on 18 August 2026.

  Ep 345 Interview Sessions with Lisa Tahir | The Chiron Effect - Healing the Core Wounds Shaping Your Life 03.08.2026 59мин

  Lisa Tahir, LCSW is the author of The Chiron Effect and founder of Psychoastrology®.The conversation centres on Chiron: the wounded healer of Greek mythology, a celestial body within our solar system and, in Lisa’s work, a symbolic guide to understanding our deepest emotional vulnerabilities.Lisa shares how she was led through meditation to research Chiron after questioning why she and many of her successful clients continued to experience anxiety, depression and recurring emotional patterns despite having undertaken significant personal-development work.She explains how the placement of Chiron within a birth chart may reveal an area of core wounding that influences our beliefs,relationships, emotional reactions and repeated experiences. Lisa calls the recurring pull around these areas of vulnerability the Chiron Effect. The conversation explores the mythological story of Chiron, the relationship between wounding and purpose, the difference between abandonment and self-abandonment, and why external success cannot heal an internal belief that we are not valuable.Lisa’s approach uses astrology as a diagnostic tool while combining psychology, spirituality, empathy, self-forgiveness and personal responsibility as the pathway towards healing. At its heart, this episode asks whether the place where we feel most wounded might also reveal the compassion, medicine andpurpose we are here to bring into the world.Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanConnect with Lisa TahirOfficial website: https://www.nolatherapy.com/The Chiron Effect: https://www.nolatherapy.com/chiron/Official publisher page:https://www.innertraditions.com/books/the-chiron-effectAll Things Therapy on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/all-things-therapy/id1142723432All Things Therapy on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7DheMsI1MImp8crZSkbvU7Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nolatherapy/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisatahir/Connect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite: https://abty.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Join our mailing list: https://abty.co.uk/contactABTY coaching: https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to:[email protected]

  Ep 344 Interview Sessions with Henry Mobley | The Lost Art of Ceremony - The Truth About Sacred Spaces 29.07.2026 1ч 12мин

  In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, Ryan Hartley is joined by ceremonial facilitator, experiential leader and Trip or Fall producer Henry Mobley for a conversation that reframes one of humanity's oldest practices: ceremony.Far beyond rituals or plant medicine, Henry describes ceremony as an intentional space where people can reconnect with themselves, one another and something greater. He challenges the idea that ceremony belongs only in ancient traditions, suggesting instead that two people sitting together with presence, honesty and love can be in ceremony.Together they explore Henry's journey from anxiety, unworthiness and a successful corporate career into a life centred on conscious leadership, radical honesty and service. Through stories from experiential marketing, sacred traditions and his own personal transformation, Henry explains why our greatest breakthroughs often begin where comfort ends.Ryan and Henry also explore the relationship between connection and healing, discussing why so much of modern suffering stems from isolation rather than a lack of information. From community and relationships to identity, addiction and personal responsibility, this conversation invites us to rediscover practices that have helped human beings heal for thousands of years.At its heart, this episode is a reminder that transformation doesn't begin with having all the answers. It begins with creating spaces where truth is welcomed, people are seen and genuine connection becomes possible.ABOUT TRIP OR FALLTrip or Fall is a feature documentary exploring the role of ceremony, intentional community and legal therapeutic psilocybin through the lives of participants, facilitators and healthcare professionals.The documentary is directed by Lindsay Pitre, whom Henry warmly acknowledges for her vision and leadership in bringing the project to life, alongside executive producer Will and the wider team. Henry joined the project as both a facilitator and producer, helping guide participants through ceremonial experiences over the course of more than a year.Rather than focusing solely on medicine, the film asks a deeper question: What becomes possible when people are given an intentional space to reconnect with themselves and one another?Through real stories of preparation, ceremony and integration, the documentary explores healing as a communal process rather than an isolated event.The work highlights ceremony as a timeless human practice built on presence, relationship, humility and integration. Its aim is to encourage deeper conversations around healing, conscious leadership and authentic human connection.Those with ears, let them hear.Always love,RyanCONNECT WITH HENRY MOBLEYWebsite:https://www.hm3.io/Instagram:http://instagram.com/hm3coachingLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/hm3beThe Sovereign Brief:https://sovereignbrief.netlify.app/CONNECT WITH ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAYWebsite:https://abty.co.uk/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Men's Group (Akira):https://abty.co.uk/akiraJoin our mailing list:https://abty.co.uk/contactSign up for coaching:https://abty.co.uk/coachingPlease email questions and reflections to:mailto:[email protected]#HenryMobley #TheLostArtOfCeremony #SacredSpaces #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousLeadership #HumanConnection #AlwaysBetterThanYesterday #Podcast

  Ep 340 Interview Sessions with Andrew Hill PhD | Gifted & Tortured: The Truth About ADHD, Anxiety & Autism 04.07.2026 59мин

  After studying more than 25,000 brains over the past twenty-five years, Dr. Andrew Hill has developed a revolutionary way of understanding neurodiversity—not through diagnosis, but through the unique patterns that make each of us both gifted and challenged.His new book, Gifted & Tortured, introduces the concept of the Poet Brain—a framework that helps explain why the same neurological patterns responsible for creativity, empathy, innovation and extraordinary perception can also become the source of anxiety, overwhelm, ADHD, autism traits and emotional suffering.Rather than asking "What's wrong with me?", Andrew invites us to ask a different question:"How is my brain uniquely wired?"Andrew explains the twelve "brain characters" that appear throughout his new book—including the Happy Little Kid, the Grumpy Old Man, the CEO, the Lifeguard and the Princess & the Pea—and shows how each represents both a profound gift and a potential source of suffering depending on how well that particular brain circuit is regulated.Rather than reducing people to diagnostic labels, Gifted & Tortured presents twelve "Poet Brain Phenotypes"—distinct brain patterns that simultaneously explain our greatest strengths and our deepest struggles.The book combines neuroscience, neurofeedback, meditation, sleep science and practical interventions to help readers move from shame to understanding, from suffering to self-mastery, and from merely coping to genuinely flourishing.At its core, the message is beautifully simple:You were never broken. You simply never received the owner's manual.Connect with Dr. Andrew HillWebsite: https://www.andrewhillphd.com/Peak Brain Institute: https://peakbraininstitute.com/Gifted & Tortured: https://giftedandtortured.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrewhillphd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewhillphd/Connect with Always Better Than YesterdayWebsite https://abty.co.uk/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/abty/Coaching https://abty.co.uk/coachingMailing List https://abty.co.uk/[email protected] Chapters00:00 – Introduction01:46 – Why Andrew wrote Gifted & Tortured04:52 – What is a brain phenotype?08:38 – Why understanding removes shame11:20 – "You were never broken."14:10 – Andrew's own ADHD journey16:05 – Why every phenotype includes practical interventions17:06 – The 12 Poet Brain Phenotypes explained20:52 – Discovering your unique brain profile23:05 – Why diagnosis shouldn't become identity27:15 – Understanding leads to acceptance28:05 – Neuroplasticity: your brain can change29:45 – Ryan's procrastination story32:08 – The neuroscience of procrastination34:55 – Emotional amplification & rejection sensitivity36:25 – Relationships through the lens of neuroscience38:28 – Stress, threat and the survival brain40:42 – Living gifted rather than tortured43:40 – Andrew's daily practices for brain optimisation47:15 – Final reflections
