Awesomely Off-Topic: Books, Brands, Business and Everything Else We’re Not Supposed to Say Out Loud

While clearing out a cupboard, we stumbled across an old content plan from years ago. Some of it made us smile, some of it made us wince; what surprised us most was how much of it still holds up. In this episode, we use that long-forgotten plan as a starting point to explore six themes that keep circling back – around brand, integrity, authenticity, commitment, permission and the stories we so often hold onto... whether they're serving us or not. Something you’d love us to know? Send us a mes...

🎙️ Episode 29: Welcome To 2026!
Send us a text In this episode, we’re pausing at the edge of the year and inviting you to do the same. We talk about what’s ready to be left behind as we move into 2026 – things like the Comparison Monster, old pressure, and habits that quietly drain our energy – and what’s genuinely worth taking forward instead. There’s a lot of reflection in this one, and some gentle coaching too, as we encourage you to think about the choices, boundaries and ways of being that will help you feel calmer, ha...

🎙️ Episode 28: Keeping Up With The Clauses
Send us a text Christmas feels ancient, cosy and untouchable. It’s also been aggressively meddled with - mostly by the Victorians. In this episode, we unpack how angels ended up policing the top of the tree, how Christmas pudding started out (you really would NOT have wanted custard with it!), why tinsel wasn't always tacky, and how class, comparison and respectability quietly rewired the season. This is Christmas traditions through a brand lens - part folklore, part rebrand, part Victorian P...

🎙️ Episode 27: Help, Grow, Feel, Slow
Send us a text When did Christmas get so loud? In this episode, we share our gentle rebellion against all the commercialisation, noise and pressure, with a four-part gift philosophy we’re inviting others to play with. Along the way, we unpack how commercialised Christmas has become, share a handful of festive factoids, and - as ever - go slightly off-piste with a heartfelt (and entirely reasonable) plea to Gillian Anderson to notice us and sponsor the podcast. Gillian, if you’re listening, we...

🎙️ Episode 25: Caution - Retrograde Ahead
Send us a text Mercury Retrograde gets blamed for everything – broken tech, stalled plans, wonky emotions and the odd meltdown in the middle of Tesco. But is it really that dramatic, or have we all just absorbed a load of doom-scroll mythology? In this episode, we take a grounded, no-nonsense look at retrograde: what it is, what it isn’t, and how you can actually use it to support your life and business instead of hiding under a blanket waiting for it to pass. We talk about the unexpected gif...

🎙️ Episode 24: The Big One
Send us a text For 14 years, we’ve been holding space for people who want more than a quick fix or a shiny shortcut. Our 13-month spiritual empowerment programme - The Big One - has grown from a wild idea into one of the most transformational experiences we run – and it’s taught us far more about business than any strategy ever could. In this episode, we’re lifting the lid on what it really takes to build and sustain a long-term programme. We’re talking honesty, clarity, commitment, and the k...
