The Christmas/New Year fortnight is infamous for over-eating, and for some people it just doesn't seem right to leave food behind. Adam Cox invites us to visit the control room of our mind, where conscious links can be drawn between our appetite and the amount of physical exertion we undertake. Using this logic, he argues that overeating and excess for no other purpose is ridiculous: so some exercise to balance it out over the next fortnight might be worth considering!

This episode is all about avoiding avoidance: helping to tackle the sense of retreat brought on by anxiety. Returning to work after a period of illness is just one such challenge — but challenges of all kinds can cause inaction.

Entrenched beliefs about money can be very de-stabilising: that it's the root of all evil and brings guilt with it, that 'good people don't need money', that if you have money it's in some way 'bad' whereas if you don't, you suffer anxiety and stress about where it's going to come from. This episode seeks to change that mindset, to show how having money can be a positive and can provide for others as well as yourself. If you're searching for more empowering beliefs about money, this could be for you.

Does leadership require skills and competency which have to be learnt before taking responsibility — or is it more a matter of courage? Certainly there needs to be a degree of confidence that one is resourceful enough to make it work: but there's also a need to accept that it's a learning process in itself. You can't learn to swim without getting in the water! So this episode looks at the principles and resources needed for good leadership, about thinking of others first, about integrity. (You won't hear reference to her in the podcast but, when it comes to jumping in the deep end, our current prime minister is certainly learning the hard way)
