Key Points Covered:

🧠 Understanding Mental Energy: Learn how 95-98% of our time is spent at the unconscious level, with 60-70 thousand thoughts per day—90% of which are habitual and often unproductive.

🤩 Self-Awareness and Journaling: Discover the power of journaling to recognise and manage habitual thoughts, and bring yourself back to the present moment.

💥 The Role of Innate Wisdom: Tap into your innate wisdom for guidance and insight, beyond the repetitive thought patterns.

🚀 Managing Overthinking: Strategies to reduce overthinking and stay in a calm, productive mental state.

Why This Matters: For Unicorn Founders, Entrepreneurs, and Business Leaders, maintaining high performance is crucial.

Do you often find yourself overthinking?

Worrying about situations in your life?

Over analysing in a bid to work something out?

If you resonate with this, know that you are not alone!

With around 70,000 thoughts a day, we've all got good at thinking!

But did you know that your thinking creates your reality? Your own internal view of what's taking place in your life.

Whether this is your health, anxiety, finances, a situation at work or a relationship. You can only see the situation based on your current level of thinking. And given 70% of your thinking is repetitive and habitual, that creates a very limited reality!

You might think you need to drop all negative thinking. Or that you need to think more positively.

But what if there was a better way?

Check out this episode where Sara Maude, Founder of The Mind Solution, shares with you how to calm the mind and take thinking off the agenda!

Sleep is the foundation of positive mental health and high performance. However, despite the fact that sleep is an instinctive ability, meaning we don't need to learn how to sleep, many people struggle with sleep disorders ranging from insomnia to sleep apnoea.

Even those people who don't have a specific sleep disorder report struggling to switch off a busy mind, struggling to get to sleep, waking up during the night, not being able to sleep right through the night and relying on medication or alcohol in an attempt to get to sleep.

World Sleep Day on Friday 17th March is organised by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Sleep Society and aims to lessen the burden of sleep problems on society through better prevention and management of sleep disorders.

In this podcast, you will discover the aspects impacting your sleep and some quick wins to help improve the quality and consistency of your sleep.

We were delighted to be joined by CEO of Remarkable, Bonnie Clark, as she chatted to us about what it means to create a wellbeing economy so that we as organisations and countries can be fit for the future.

In our interview Bonnie speaks about how, according to the Wellbeing Economy Alliance (WEAll) Scotland, a wellbeing economy is one designed to provide all of us with good lives while protecting the health of our natural environment.

As Bonnie also highlights in her recent article on how Scotland can transform its economy so its fit for the future

“Measuring businesses according to profit and productivity alone can easily justify extractive relationships with workers and natural resources. The goal of prosperity can encourage healthier businesses that consider their connection to their staff and wider operating environment.

Tune in now to find out more about what a wellbeing economy is and how business leaders, like you, can create one to support both your organisation, people and the planet.

“Growth in GDP should not be pursued at any and all cost … The goal of economic policy should be collective well-being: how happy and healthy a population is, not just how wealthy a population is.” – Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland

Menopause is a really hot topic (no pun intended!) right now. In the UK particularly there has been a lot of discussion - and fear - created by the recent Channel 4 documentary ‘Sex, Mind and the Menopause’ with Davina McCall. A survey by the British Menopause Society has revealed that over 20% of the working women surveyed reported that the menopause had affected their confidence at work. In the same survey, around half the women reported that the menopause had had an impact on their home life and just over a third said it had affected their social life. So it’s great to see a growing focus on raising awareness of the impact of women in the workplace, and how best to support women going through this sensitive time.

In addition, it’s also key to upskill managers in this area because Menopause is covered under the Equality Act 2010, and can be on the grounds of sex, age or disability discrimination.

Therefore we are seeing more organisations putting in place policies about menopause, but is it enough to suggest giving women control over the air conditioning unit in the office?

Whether you are a women or an organisational leader, tune into this brilliant interview with Tania Elfersy, Menopause expert, to discover;

Why hormones are not the problem!
The nocebo effect of menopause
Menopause and the stress response
The wisdom of the body to manage this transition
How women can change their experience of the menopause, which leads to symptom relief
How you can change your experience of everything in life which will lead to a calmer, happier and stress free life

Alcohol can lie to you in so many ways. Alcohol can make you believe it relaxes you (until it's keeping you awake at 2am). Alcohol can make you believe you need it to feel more confident. Alcohol can create the illusion that you're happier when you've had a drink, that you need it to have a good time. But what happens when alcohol makes you believe you need it before you go into work on a morning? That you need alcohol to get you through the day? The way alcohol seduces you into lying to the people around you, even when your job is on the line?

Wendy Baines, HR Director shares her deeply personal account of her relationship with alcohol and how, in the end, it cost her her job.
