Marcus Pibworth is a storyteller based in England but known to pop up around the globe, running storytelling workshops. He is an alumni of ‘The International School of Storytelling’. One of the key focuses of Marcus’ current work is on using storytelling to explore masculinity through his ‘Stories For Men’ series. I first came across Marcus in Positive News Magazine a few years back, feeling inspired by his nomadic lifestyle living in a van and travelling around the UK & Europe recording his Ministry of Change podcast. Which is conversations about mental health, navigating the difficult bits of life and what it really means to be human. In this podcast we discuss what it was like to live in a van for 3 years, mental health challenges men face, the transformational effects of storytelling, embracing fatherhood and much more in this insightful conversation.

In this episode, I welcome spiritual teacher Louise Kay back on the show (for a fourth time). We hear her insight on how these challenging times are triggering the great awakening in us and mankind. We also hear how to navigate difficult relationships as well conscious manifestation. Louise grounds all the wisdom shared with an embodied awareness guided meditation towards the end. I’m always grateful for my conversations with Louise, and as I joked in the show, I imagine we’ll be having these deep conversations for many more years until we are old and grey.

In today’s episode, I delve deep into why I believe there’s never been a more important time to connect with others, speak our truth, share solutions and be the change we see in the world. Looking around and what has unfolded these past few years and seeing things with your eyes wide open you realise, once you see what’s happening you can’t unsee it. In this podcast, I give my take on the narrative that’s been playing out, sharing my own recent experience with Covid, how critical early treatment is, the suppression of some of the world’s leading doctors, how clinical trials show natural immunity is far more robust than immunity from the vaccine. I also delve into how none of the measures in place appears to be supporting increased health. In fact, they are leading to the erosion of our freedoms and potentially taking us down a dystopian version of reality. Yet, none of this must come to pass. If more of us shine our light on the darkness for others to see we can choose a different path for humanity. One that is built on connection, freedom and love. For this to happen it’s going to take us all stepping forward and being part of the solution, as the old systems crumble and new ones come to light. Like Gandhi before us, it’s going to take a non-violent revolution of consciousness. These challenging times will pass, like all things in life, whether they be good times or bad times nothing lasts in this life. But what a ride life is!

In this episode, I welcome Barry Taylor on the show who has for decades been working with ’Spiritually Inspired’ community projects and individuals helping them turn their inspired ideas into reality. With his roots firmly established in Glastonbury since the 1980s, having been a successful entrepreneur in his earlier years, he has endeavoured to use his skills to help Glastonbury become a beacon for spiritual development once more. In this fascinating conversation, we delve into how a poverty mindset hinders the progress of many creative ideas, and how to shift that perspective to allow your ideas to flourish and stand the test of time with the right structure in place. We also delve into what makes Glastonbury so special and how pilgrimage can help bring expanded meaning to our lives and lead to a personal transformation. I loved this conversation with Barry, I’m sure his words can offer hope to those on their own spiritual path.

In today’s episode, I dive deep into the challenging times we are living through, and even though it can appear on the surface that everything is in chaos, it’s a time of great transformation. This podcast is about shedding light on the good that is happening around the world (gods know we need it right now). However, that doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the ground when we are seeing injustices, lies, deceit and coercion happening right in front of our eyes. I see the old systems breaking down, and as they are, the old power structure will do everything in its power to maintain its grip. Which we are seeing with the authoritarian measure that has swept the planet in recent times. I share how I’ve seen the past 18 months unfold and how I believe a lot of the measures in place are in fact anti-health, which are disempowering and riddled with fear-mongering from our governments and media. It is often when we are pushed into a corner that we realise what is important to us. We are at a crossroads on the planet right now, and we all have to decide what path we are going down and the kind of world we wish to live on. I for one, am choosing a life of freedom, peace, connection, community and enlightenment. We all have a choice, we are powerful beings with so much to offer to the world, and there is a place for all of us in playing a part in the solutions.

In today's episode, I welcome Charlotte Davies on the show who is an acclaimed Spirit Medium. It’s a bit left-field this episode, although anyone who’s listened to my podcast for a while will be aware of my spiritual beliefs and that this life is far more magical than we were lead to believe. But that aside, it’s certainly different to other kinds of guests I’ve had on the show and I just ask that you keep an open mind as hear Charlotte’s story. She shares some of the mind-bending stories from readings she’s given to people allowing them to connect with loved ones who may no longer be in physical form but still exist in the non-physical realms. After having a reading with her early this year it left no doubt in my mind that she is tapped in to other realms and the information she brings through is genuine. Charlotte talks about how this all began in childhood, the challenges she faced in her early years dealing with these extrasensory abilities, and how she came to terms with it and has allowed it to be a force for good in her life.

In this episode, I welcome spiritual teacher Louise Kay back on the show to hear her wisdom on the challenges we are facing right now and the opportunity it’s giving us to awaken to our deeper selves. She shares what she thinks the biggest lessons we can take from the last year, how existential crises can lead to awakening, as well as hearing her perspective on the importance of presence in raising children. Louise guides us on a meditation to connect with our energy bodies, allowing us to go beyond the mind, release trauma and find that stillness that awaits behind it once we direct our attention towards it.

In today episode, I discuss a topic that’s close to my heart – giving up our relentless pursuit of material possessions and instead focusing our attention on doing good and how this brings us the happiness, satisfaction and the recognition we are after (and save us a ton of money and time in the process). From my own experience of chasing after and amassing a certain level of material wealth in the past, I come to realise I was always left wanting more, always comparing myself to others and being left with a deep dissatisfaction with daily life. I’ve found there is an alternative way of living, by letting go of that way of doing and achieving and instead, charting our own heart-centred path, we bring greater freedom and contentment into our lives. With this space and time, we can then focus our energy on creating lasting positive changes in our lives and those around us. I touch on how minimalism supports this transition, as well as relieving ourselves from the constant debt cycle and how living a simple uncluttered life is a doorway to untold riches.

In today's episode, I welcome James Boag back on the show. This time around we focused our attention on the events that have been unfolding the past year and the opportunity it’s given us to reclaim our individual sovereignty. James intertwines his yogic wisdom into the subject offering a deeper perspective on the current events, allowing us to see the gifts that have come by taking this extended pause. And as the saying goes ‘the bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity is for growth’ we discuss how we are being invited to see this time as an opportunity to become better versions of ourselves. I for one felt nourished by this inspiring conversation and gave me renewed optimism, I hope you get the same from it and for those interested in hearing more from James you can tune into episode 42 of this podcast as well as checking out his website.

Today’s episode is with Jackie O’Carroll, who is someone that has been leading the way for years when it comes to personal spiritual growth and has a wealth of wisdom behind her. Most recently her journey has taken her towards becoming an end of life doula which ties together her years of experience as a children’s nurse, a life coach, as well as her studies in emotional intelligence & leadership. She also has practical knowledge of setting up local communities and the role they can play in building connection, which is something that is sorely missed right now.

In today's episode, I’m joined by artist, author & podcaster Ben Tallon to hear how he’s carved a career out for himself by doing the things he loves. While juggling his day job being an artist he’s recently published two Indie books (YA MUM & Isolation Watch) giving him a new creative outlet to the explore other ideas and interests. And given the fact he’s recently become a father to twins, it makes it all the more impressive. The one thing that stands out for me about Ben and his work is he’s not afraid to try something new and see where it ends up. Often the smallest of ideas at the time has taken him down new and exciting paths. In this podcast, Ben offers advice to those looking to get their creative passions off the ground, his techniques for being productive as well many other nuggets of wisdom from his years of experience.

In today's episode, I’m joined by filmmaker & musician Ben Joseph Stewart, who's mind-expanding films have reached millions of people around the globe helping them on their awakening journey. He also has a popular show on Gaia called Limitless and has recently started producing his weekly Waking Infinity News, which I would highly recommend, as he delves way beneath the surface of what is going on in the world. Ben is not afraid to speak his truth and go against the status quo, something I believe takes bravery in this world. He shares his experience on how he finds the courage to stick his head up above the crowd and share the information he finds to be true to him. This wide-ranging interview covers subjects like unpicking the truth behind all the conspiracy theories out there, his awakening experiences with plant medicine and psychedelics, the health benefits of a breathwork practise, among plenty of other fascinating topics.

In today's episode, the final one of 2020, I reflect on the year we’ve just had and discuss how now more than ever, we should expect the unexpected in our lives. Never before, in our lifetimes anyway, have all our worlds been turned so much upside down by the effects of Covid-19. All our dreams, wishes and plans have been abruptly halted, causing us to put the breaks on our fast-paced lives. Whether we like it or not, it’s happened. We can either fight with our reality, attempting to get back to ‘normal’ so we can continue full pelt on the hamster wheel. Or we can take this once in the lifetime opportunity to take a deep pause and reflect on our lives and the choices we make. As we step forth into 2021 and beyond, we have an opportunity to rather than getting lost in plans for the future or worrying about the past, we can instead choose to act more in the present moment and take each day as it comes.
