Episode 55 | Intuition (with Jill Ritchie & Sarah Gregg)
Send us a textWhat is intuition - really - and why is it so hard to trust? In this fascinating conversation, I’m joined by intuition experts Jill Ritchie and Sarah Gregg to explore intuition from both psychological and spiritual perspectives. Together, we unpack what it means to access our deep inner knowing, how to distinguish it from fear, and why connecting to our intuition is one of the most authentic things we can do for ourselves.We discuss why intuition is often drowned out by the noise of external validation, how to recognise its subtle signals, and what happens to our mental well-being when we ignore it. You’ll learn how to create space for intuitive clarity, tap into your personal truth, and let intuition be your inner compass - your superpower.If you’ve ever struggled to trust your gut, or wondered whether you’re hearing fear or inner wisdom, this episode will help you uncomplicate the process and reconnect to your most honest, grounded self.I absolutely loved this conversation and I hope you do too.

Episode 53 | People Pleasing (Solo Episode)
Send us a textWelcome back to another solo episode of the podcast. This week, I’m exploring people-pleasing - why we do it, the roots behind it, and how it shapes our relationships and mental health.I unpack how people-pleasing often begins as a survival strategy, why it’s so hard to break, and how it can leave us feeling exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from ourselves. I’ll guide you through practical tools for healing: learning to say no, setting boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and reconnecting with your authentic voice.And to close, I’m sharing a 5-minute guided meditation to help you gently let go of the need to please and start acknowledging your own needs.This episode is for anyone who is tired of feeling like they have to make everyone else happy at the cost of their own peace and needs.Helen’s links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/h.e.l.e.n.m.a.r.i.e/profilecard/?igsh=MXVsZHZwcTl2Zmppdw==Choose You book: https://lnk.to/ChooseyouHelenMarieWebsite: https://www.helenmariepsychotherapy.com/SHOW SPONSORS:We are incredibly grateful to our wonderful sponsors for this episode:W-Wellness UK: https://w-wellness.co.uk/&SimplePractise.

Episode 52 | Attachment Styles (with Dr M - The Psychologist & Me) [VIDEO]
Send us a textIn this episode, Dr. M (also known as @thepsychologistandme on Instagram) unpacks the psychology of attachment - how our early bonds shape the way we connect, love, and protect ourselves in adult relationships. From anxious and avoidant styles to secure attachment, we explore how these patterns show up in real life, why some relationships never feel safe, and what it takes to build lasting emotional security. Dr. M shares honest insights about why both partners must participate in creating secure attachment, plus practical tips for moving towards healthier connection - whether you’re healing a past relationship alone or working together to build healthier connection. This was a beautiful healing conversation with wonderful theory to help you understand attachment at a deeper level away from the pop psychology available on social media.
