When we think of 'overcoming our fears' some of the mental images that might be conjured are fire-walking, skydiving and enrolling in a public speaking course.

We also cover Dan's top tips for keeping yourself healthy and vital in an era of conflicting opinions, mixed messages, media-generated fallacies and BS (bad science).
For our VERY FIRST radio show we are joined by JP Sears of innerawakeningsonline.com - discussing the ins and outs of the topic of Emotional Eating.
JP walks us through the origins and unmet needs of the light and shadow sides of why we eat emotionally, how to recognise when you are eating emotionally as well as some tips that you can use to coach yourself to more empowering, healthy eating habits!
