Unmuzzled the Next Chapter - Episode 2 - Notes For Sleeping
Trying to record a meditation practice for meditation was challenging. I'm not a meditation teacher! However, the general practices, principles and benefits of meditation usually bring you to a conclusion of sounder, deeper and better sleep! But it's important to continue this practice daily. Ten minutes set aside for you.

Unmuzzled the Next Chapter - Episode 1 - This is Time Set Aside for You
A new meditation series! A break away from my hard-hitting life story, and into the hopefully tranquil world of meditation. I've spoken at length on meditation, to the point where you're maybe sick of me rattling on about it!
But it's SO IMPORTANT! Everything I have learned, and experienced throughout my practice of meditation has been the catalyst required to build and maintain a calm

Unmuzzled - Season 3 Episode 7 - ADHD
ADHD is a term thrown around a lot as of late. With more being known about the issue, I thought it useful to discuss the problems I've had with my symptoms for my entire life.
I’ve had a tough battle with ADHD. Never paying too much attention to it. Until I done some research! And realised that I suffered many of the same symptoms. I’ve never been diagnosed. But now, I don’t think a diagnosis

Unmuzzled - Season 3 Episode 6 - Deep Dive
A deep yet brief dive into the idea and philosophy of the inner child. Your needs, triggers, and past experiences that your inner child went through. A lot of these things, may they be unmet needs, transform into trauma points in your future. They make you believe certain things about yourself. Develop negative affirmations. A broken inner child can lead to a self-confidence, and self-love rating

Unmuzzled at 67 - Season 3 Episode 5 - Therapy
Therapy is the conventional way of helping get a grip of yourself. But it's fucking expensive! I did have a brief fling with therapy. And it helped me uncover, and understand the initial traumas I faced when I was younger, but with the help of my own research and specific books, I turned away from therapy. It's pricey and isn't available to everyone. A psychiatrist has a waiting list t

Unmuzzled - Season 3 Episode 4 - Inspirational Books - They Have Played Their Part
At a slightly different pace in this episode, we will cover some books that were pivotal to my reinvention. To calm me down. To understand myself. I say "some" because this episode could have been hours and hours long if we were to cover every influential book I've read during this period of my life. But here's the list of the books we cover in this week's episode. I implore

Unmuzzled - Season 3 Episode 3 - Self Confidence
Some key take aways on how self confidence allows you to act in the world. We build off of my tips of self awareness, meditation, and creating a ruthless moral inventory of yourself.

Unmuzzled - Season 3 Episode 2 - Into Action
So, being more self-aware, understanding your trigger points. Analysing your past behaviours, and understanding why you acted out, got angry, withdrew inward, and so on. All great. All useful, and important. And very often the first step in becoming a rehabilitated bam.
But how do we put these things into practice? Well, it's totally personal. But for me, with the help of meditation. I can st

Well, here we are! The end of another season... one to go. I look back up my experiences this time around recording and writing the second season of the podcast. This one had a bit of everything.

Overall, the second season was a much smoother experience for m

Unmuzzled - Season 2 Episode 7 - Living Without a Soul
Being stuck in a job you hate is awful. But being stuck in a job you hate... but are incredibly specialised and revered in your field. Well that's just a cruel joke eh. In this episode I talk about my mental health, and the decline of this while working in a field, and job that I just did not enjoy or like. Emotionally blunting myself to the point where I no longer had an inner dialouge, and h

Unmuzzled at 67 - Season 2 Episode 6 - Finding Your Tribe
Finding your tribe in life is one of lifes most fulfilling gifts. They're not just friends, but a like minded group of individuals that you would trust with your life. You share the same views on life, the same hobbies. But aren't afraid to tell eachother whats really on your mind. Conflict can be handled well and maturely. Overall, friends that uplift you and give great life advice.

Unmuzzled at 67 - Season 2 Episode 1 - And the Madness Continues...
Well here we are! Season 2! We survived season 1, and what a journey it's been so far. But don't worry, per the episode title, the madness does indeed continue.
