Live - Love - Learn with Catherine Edwards

We see what’s happening. We’ve done the research. We’ve gone down the rabbit holes. So… NOW WHAT?In this Coffee Chat, Brice Watson and I ask a question I think is becoming increasingly important:- How do we actually live well in a world we don’t necessarily trust?- How much information do we really need? - When does being informed help us make better decisions, and when does constantly consuming more information simply leave us overwhelmed, fearful or stuck?We talk about whether we’ve become addicted to knowing what’s wrong, how our algorithms can reveal far more about what we’re feeding our minds than we might like to admit, and why changing where we get our information doesn’t automatically mean we’re thinking for ourselves.   Most importantly, we ask: what can we actually DO?We explore building physical and mental resilience, recognising our own patterns and vulnerabilities, developing useful skills, strengthening community, focusing on what is within our control and remembering just how capable human beings actually are.You don’t have to fix everything. You don’t have to know everything. And you certainly don’t have to change everything overnight.Pick one thing. Start there.As Brice says in this conversation: what can I do right now that my future self will thank me for?    👇 LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS:What is ONE thing you are going to do differently as a result of what you now know?————————————————🌱 WORK WITH ME — 1:1 BEHAVIOURAL COACHING👉 If you KNOW what you need to change but keep finding yourself repeating the same behaviours, my 1:1 Freedom From Self-Sabotage coaching helps you identify the patterns behind it, rebuild self-trust and actually follow through.Freedom From Self-Sabotage — 10 Week Programme https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/consultations-for-you/For all other consults use Code BRICE10 for 10% off————————————————💪 TRY FUSION BODY STUDIOI genuinely love what Brice has created with Fusion Body Studio.

You know what you want to change. You may even know HOW to change it. So why can change still feel so difficult?This question has been coming up repeatedly in conversations, comments and my coaching work recently, and I've been noticing it in myself too.It raises a much bigger question: who is actually running our lives?We spend enormous amounts of time investigating what's influencing us externally: media, governments, corporations, algorithms, advertising, social conditioning and the endless stream of information competing for our attention.Yet how often do we investigate what's influencing us from within?In this episode, I explore the gap between what we know and what we actually do: overthinking, familiar patterns, fear, uncertainty, information overload, attention and the behaviours we can keep repeating even when consciously we want something different.I also explore something I think is becoming increasingly important: how much of our attention are we consciously choosing to give away?And I share a simple exercise you can try:1. What do I say I want?2. What am I repeatedly doing that helps create the opposite?3. What might that behaviour be helping me avoid?Then there's another question I've been asking myself when consuming information:4. Does knowing this help me make a decision, prepare or take useful action — or is it simply changing my emotional state?Perhaps freedom isn't only about recognising what may be influencing us externally. Perhaps it's also about becoming increasingly aware of the patterns, beliefs and programming influencing us from within.You've investigated what's influencing the world. Have you investigated what's influencing YOU?————————————————WAYS TO WORK WITH MEIf this has made you recognise something in your own life that you're genuinely ready to change, I currently offer two ways to work with me privately:1:1 Behavioural Coaching — for those ready to go deeper: understand the patterns they may not currently be able to see, change the behaviours keeping them stuck and become better equipped for whatever life brings https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/consultations-for-you/————————————————One-Off Clarity Intensive — focused private support when there's one particular issue, decision or area of your life where you feel stuck and need clarity about what's really going on and how to move forward https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/the-clarity-intensive/Find out more: https://www.catherineedwards.life/————————————————And I'd love to continue this conversation below:Where in your life do you KNOW something needs to change, but find yourself repeating the same behaviour anyway?Stay curious.

How do you know whether someone is genuinely a good person — or simply very good at appearing to be one?After spending several days meeting people face-to-face at the Galactic Spiritual Informers Connection with  @DaniHenderson-GSIC   I came home thinking about something we ALL need to get better at: discernment. Not because the people there were not lovely (they were 😊) - but because  when so much of our information comes from online, that makes discernment harder. In this week's Coffee Chat, Brice from  @EsotericAtlanta  and I explore why we can trust people far too quickly online — and why we can be equally quick to label someone a shill, controlled or “bad” without actually looking at the evidence.We talk about the halo effect, charisma, expertise versus character, parasocial relationships, confirmation bias, sunk-cost fallacy and why agreeing with someone about ONE thing doesn't mean you need to trust them about everything.Perhaps the most useful question is incredibly simple:What am I actually trusting this person FOR?We also look at the little things that reveal character: how someone treats people who can do nothing for them, whether their actions match their words, how they respond to criticism or a NO, whether they can admit “I don't know” — and what happens when the camera is switched off.In a world where almost anyone can build an impressive online persona, time may be one of the best bullshit detectors we've got.Stay curious. Stay discerning. And don't outsource your judgement.Catherine x————————————————👉 If you KNOW what you need to change but keep finding yourself repeating the same behaviours, my 1:1 Freedom From Self-Sabotage coaching helps you identify the patterns behind it, rebuild self-trust and actually follow through.https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/————————————————💪 TRY FUSION BODY STUDIOI genuinely love what Brice has created with Fusion Body Studio.

How far down the rabbit hole is TOO far?Gareth Icke joins me for a wide-ranging conversation about Britain, immigration, censorship, war, propaganda, division, financial pressure, AI — and why spending your entire life staring at everything that's wrong may not be quite as empowering as we like to think. 😬We talk about tribalism, thinking for yourself, why “I don't know” is sometimes a very intelligent answer, the importance of actually LIVING what you believe — and why Gareth is perfectly happy enjoying a little “bread and circuses” when Derby County are playing.Question everything? Absolutely.Just make sure you don't become so consumed by the rabbit hole that you forget to live, think and ACT for yourself.Keep questioning the world. Just don't leave yourself out of the investigation.————————————————Ready to look at what might be influencing YOUR health, behaviour, choices and future?

What if the most important war isn't the one we're being shown?In this conversation, investigative journalist and war correspondent Michael Yon joins Dane Wigington of Geoengineering Watch for a wide-ranging discussion about geoengineering, weather modification, information warfare and the state of the planet's life-support systems.Michael has spent decades studying warfare around the world. Dane has spent more than 20 years investigating climate engineering and what he believes is taking place in our skies.Putting them together produced quite a conversation.We look at the relationship between information warfare and weather warfare, why public attention may be focused on entirely the wrong things, the debate around geoengineering and climate engineering, wildfires, changing weather patterns, net zero, food and water security, declining insect and wildlife populations, our growing disconnection from nature — and the question I kept coming back to:What can ordinary people actually DO with this information?Whether you already follow Dane's work, remain completely sceptical about geoengineering, or sit somewhere in between, I would encourage you to listen with an open mind, question what you hear and do your own research.We don't all need to understand every piece of science.We DO need more people looking up, looking around them, asking better questions and paying attention to what is happening in the natural world.And most importantly, we cannot leave people believing they're powerless.As we discuss towards the end of this conversation, awareness means very little if it simply leaves us frightened and paralysed. What matters is what we do next.————————————————CONNECT WITH DANE🎥 Watch The Dimming:https://geoengineeringwatch.org/the-dimming-full-length-climate-engineering-documentary/🌍 Dane Wigington / Geoengineering Watch:https://geoengineeringwatch.org/————————————————CONNECT WITH MICHAEL YONMichael on Substack:https://substack.com/@michaelyonMichael on X:https://x.com/michael_yon————————————————Previous Videos on Geoengineering with Dane:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY4jttkmCdzU17NRndOrA3gXVUvsgjG3r————————————————Ready to stop repeating the same patterns?If you're ready to understand the subconscious beliefs and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck...Freedom From Self-Sabotage https://www.catherineedwards.life/consults/freedom-from-self-sabotage-10-week-programme/Behavioural Coaching for High-Performing Professionalshttps://coachcatherineedwards.com/————————————————Let me know in the comments:Has everything you’ve learned about the world changed the way you live?Stay curious.
