#252: Why Healthy Eating Feels Impossible (It’s Not Willpower) - Ashley Bizzell

Does healthy eating feel impossible? Do you keep starting with good intentions only to end up overwhelmed, confused, and off track?


In this episode, we explore why so many people struggle to eat well in a world full of conflicting advice. When every diet promises answers and information is coming from all directions, it’s easy to feel stuck and frustrated with yourself.


This conversation looks at what’s really behind the overwhelm, why willpower isn’t the solution, and how to move forward without waiting for the perfect diet. We also touch on fasting and how to think about it in a way that’s grounded, realistic, and sustainable.


If you’ve been caught in cycles of starting over or quietly blaming yourself, this episode offers clarity and a calmer way forward.


Ashley Bizzell, is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist with over fifteen years of experience.

#251: John Broadbent - The Real Reason Life Gets Confusing in Your Late 30s & 40s

If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s and feel like you should be further ahead by now, this episode is for you.


In this episode, I speak with John Broadbent about why life can feel disorienting in your late 30s and 40s. When the identities that once defined you stop working, certainty fades, and self-criticism creeps in, it’s easy to assume you’ve failed.


This conversation explores why that experience is more common than we admit, what’s actually happening beneath the surface, and how to move through this phase without turning on yourself.


If you’ve been feeling behind, stuck, or quietly worried you’ve missed your window, this episode offers a perspective that may help you see this stage of life very differently.


John Broadbent has spent decades working with men navigating identity, purpose, and major life transitions.

#250: Dr. Joy Kong - How to Get Unstuck When You Feel Lost

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t that you’re failing… it’s that you’re waiting to feel certain before you move?


In this episode, I speak with Dr. Joy Kong about what happens when you feel lost in life, and how to get unstuck when you don’t have clarity, confidence, or a perfect plan. We talk about why momentum matters more than motivation, how to find the “spark” that pulls you forward, and how small daily actions can shift your mindset and direction.


If you’ve been feeling stuck or unsure what you’re doing with your life, this conversation will help you change your life by changing what you do when you feel lost, so you can get unstuck and move forward again.


Dr. Joy Kong is a physician and former psychiatrist.

What if the real problem isn’t just that you’re stressed… it’s that stress is quietly running your entire life?


In this episode, I speak with psychologist Dr. Mike Ronsisvalle about what happens when chronic stress, comparison and constant stimulation take over your thoughts, decisions and relationships, and how to stop letting them control you. We talk about finding the right therapist, why the relationship matters more than the technique, and how living from your values and taking small daily actions can help you feel less overwhelmed and more grounded.


If stress has been controlling you, this conversation will help you start taking your life back.

#248: Tenille Bentley - How to Break The Trauma Cycle

What if the hardest part of your trauma isn’t what actually happened… it’s noticing the same patterns showing up in you now?


In this episode, I speak with Tenille Bentley about how childhood trauma and growing up around domestic violence can shape your adult relationships and what it takes to break that cycle. We talk about moving from blame to responsibility, setting real boundaries, and learning to stop taking on other people’s emotions as your own.

Tenille also shares the emotional language and simple tools she uses in her Emotional Literacy & Mindfulness Academy to help children learn how to respond instead of react.


If you’re scared of repeating the same unhealthy dynamics, this conversation will give you a clear way of understanding your patterns and where to start changing them.

Tenille Bentley is a globally recognized, multi-award-winning entrepreneur and sound therapy specialist, and the founder of ELMA Education.

#247: Dr Paul Taylor - Is Modern Life Destroying Your Mental Health?

Is there something wrong with you… or is there something wrong with the way we live?


In this episode, I speak to performance coach and psychophysiologist Paul Taylor about how modern life (from ultra-processed food and poor sleep to constant screens and chronic stress) creates the perfect storm for anxiety, depression, burnout and ADHD-like symptoms. We dig into why so much of “mental illness” sits on a spectrum, how lifestyle can mimic or magnify these conditions, and why over-pathologising normal emotions can sometimes make things worse.


Paul also breaks down Hardiness, his idea of Resilience 2.0: a practical framework built on control, challenge, commitment and connection. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck or like you’re not coping with the pace of life, this conversation will give you a new way to think about mental health with some simple, science-backed ways to start rebuilding your capacity in a world that isn’t exactly designed for humans.

#246: Donna McGeorge - The Only Way Out of Burnout Is To Do Less

Are you actually productive…or just busy all the time?


In this episode, speaker, coach and author Donna McGeorge flips the usual productivity conversation on its head. Instead of asking how to fit more in, she asks a harder question - What can you remove?


We talk about the constant low-level burnout most of us live with, the addiction to saying yes, and how often we sacrifice our future self just to avoid discomfort right now. Donna breaks down her idea of Red Brick Thinking - a way of strategically removing emotional, cultural and structural “bricks” so you can reclaim time, energy and attention.


If you feel like you’re always on and are still falling behind, this conversation will help you breathe, simplify, and start making decisions your future self will thank you for.

#239: Jonathan Kemp - Money Won't Heal You

We often ignore our mental health until it’s too late.


Statistics show that millions delay seeking help for years - with many receiving a diagnosis more than a year after symptoms first appear. The cost isn’t just personal; the global toll of untreated mental illness reaches into the billions each year through healthcare expenses and lost productivity.


In this episode, Jonathan Kemp shares his lifelong journey through bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia, and how decades of struggle led him to redefine what peace and success actually meant to him. We discuss the stigma around therapy and medication, why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how small daily habits and connection can completely transform mental well-being.


TOPICS:

  • Overcoming bipolar disorder, depression, and dyslexia
  • Redefining success and finding peace after burnout
  • Breaking stigma around therapy, medication, and men’s mental health
