What if the most powerful shift you can make in midlife isn’t another push, but a pause? In this episode, I sit down with James Brett—a former high-stakes sales leader across Europe and Asia Pacific—whose life was redirected by a diagnosis and a sudden confrontation with his own limits. Moving from boardrooms to a hospital bed forced him into a kind of listening he had spent years avoiding. What he discovered is that resilience isn’t built through force; it’s built through presence, pacing, ...
The midlife story we’re handed tells us to slow down, shrink our world, and pour a glass to cope. This conversation with grey area drinking coach and author Sarah Rusbatch offers a different possibility. We explore how even a short break from alcohol can reset sleep, ease anxiety, sharpen focus, and open the door to a stronger, brighter midlife—without losing your social spark. We begin where many women find themselves: using wine as a reward at the end of a long day, only to wake up foggy, f...
A midlife plot twist doesn’t have to look like a crisis. It can look like soil under your nails, bread you milled yourself, and a dinner you can trace back to land you actually know. In this episode, I sit down with BBC journalist Max Cotton, who spent an entire year eating and drinking only what he could grow or raise on his small farm in South West England. What began as a one-man protest became a deeply human exploration of resilience, reconnection, and a slower, more intentional way of li...

This conversation with Roanna White—senior teacher, mum of three, and unapologetic solo traveller—is a grounded and generous exploration of how women can transform upheaval into agency. We talk through the real stuff: leading a team while quietly battling anxiety, parenting teens who test every limit, and the moment somatic therapy surfaced repressed memories that finally explained years of physical symptoms....

A routine scan changed everything.... When Dr. Bill Bruno, a world-renowned plastic surgeon, discovered significant coronary plaque at 49, he didn’t just rely on prescriptions—he rebuilt his life from the inside out. In this energising conversation, we explore the Longevity Pyramid Bill now teaches: sleep, nutrition, and movement at the base; targeted testing in the middle; and social health, stress management, smart supplementation, and—only at the top—medications and advanced therapies. We ...
When food stops being your main comfort, life gets louder—in the best way. In this episode I sit down with nutritionist and nutritional biochemist Juniper Devicis to unpack the real drivers of emotional eating and the exact steps she used to quiet food chatter, stabilise mood, and rebuild self-trust. Her story moves from teenage body image and burnout to a rock-bottom photo, hypnosis, and the surprising relief of finally feeling feelings rather than feeding them. We dig into the signals that...
Why does betrayal feel like it shatters not just your present, but rewrites your entire past? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Mr Jay—Certified Betrayal Trauma Practitioner and Intrapersonal Relationship Coach—to explore the hidden layers of betrayal, from infidelity to grief to the resurfacing of old wounds. We unpack why some people turn to affairs as a way to “feel alive,” the isolating impact of secrecy on partners, and why betrayal triggers are more than memories—they’re fu...
Diet rules, mirror anxiety, and the lie that thinness equals happiness—let’s challenge the script. In this episode of Life, Health & The Universe, I sit down with Marla Mervis-Hartmann—coach, Reiki Master, TEDx speaker, and author of "BE-Friend Yourself-Finding Freedom with Food and Peace with your Body"—to explore what actually leads to peace with food and a kinder relationship with your body. Marla’s story spans both extremes: cycles of binge eating marked by shame and the “thinnest eve...
