Dr. Goodwin breaks down the physiological toll of our screen habits and shares a surprising tip: regular sighing can help regulate stress.We also explore "techno stress" and how our ancient brains are reacting to constant digital notifications as if we're facing predators.

In this episode, I am beyond thrilled to chat with Relationship Communication Coach James ‘Fish’ Gill, who challenges the common belief that relationship transformation requires the active participation of both parties. Having experienced firsthand the profound effects of his teachings, I am excited to share this enlightening conversation with you. 'Fish,' as we call him, brings incredible insight into moments of conflict and demonstrates how significant change can occur if one person approaches the situation with loving awareness. He explains how it only takes one person to change the entire trajectory of the relationship. A must-listen episode for anyone who wants to improve their relationships both at work, and at home.

When I first decided to start a podcast, one of the very FIRST people I thought of as a guest was this INCREDIBLE powerhouse of a woman, Lisa Keenan. You could say I started this podcast JUST to get to speak to brilliant minds like hers, so I’m particularly pumped to share this episode with you.

Lisa is the visionary Executive Director of Mecca M-Power, a dynamic social change movement that champions equality and opportunity for women and girls. On top of this, Lisa is an entrepreneur and co-founder of Nightingale Advisors, in addition to serving as a Non-Executive Director at the ALLG, an organization focused on improving the lives and survival rates of people with blood cancer.

Lisa is on a BIG MISSION, but not only that, she has had an incredible journey. It's like something out of a movie, and she so generously shared it with me. If you're in need of a dose of inspiration and hope for a more equal world in which the next generation can thrive, or just a healthy dose of optimism, then this episode is for you.

I REALLY enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too!

They say we teach what we have to learn, and the part of connection that I’ve always struggled with the most is the two-way part! It comes very naturally for me to focus on other people and to learn all about them. However, when the focus is turned on to me and it’s my turn to share, my natural response is to deflect. The truth is, I am far more comfortable talking about others than I am talking about myself. In this episode of The Reconnection Revolution, I’ve decided to step out of my comfort zone and go solo.

I love all the chats I’ve had with my guests so far, but before I share more of those episodes, I think it’s important for me to share a little bit more about myself too.

This episode is a pretty vulnerable one as I cover some of my journey with shadow work, the parenting mistakes I’ve made along the way, and the existential crisis that led me onto the path I am now walking today…

I hope you will enjoy this episode and hopefully see some similarities between my journey and your own journey – after all, we’re all in this together.
