Ultimate Guide to Life: Recent Episodes
Communication Generation
ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LIFE features the best life coaches, wellbeing experts, and more based on the view that no single thing can ‘change your life’ but, collectively, a range of lifestyle ideas and habits can make a huge difference.
Life can be amazing. It can also be confusing, annoying, upsetting, frustrating, uplifting, surprising, and so many more adjectives! And because it’s so complex, no one has all the answers to all the questions that life presents.
What you need today is likely so different to what you needed a year ago or what you’ll need next year. Things change and as they do, you’ll want answers to a new set of questions.
I’m Steve Randall, and this is my Ultimate Guide to Life.
Each of my guests has SOME of the answers, for SOME people, SOME of the time.
What they all have though, is valuable insights to help us all get the most out of life.

TRIGGER WARNING: Pet loss.
The bond we have with our pets is often stronger than even our human relationships, but how do you cope when you lose them?
That amazing unconditional love that our pets show us and the non-judgemental nature of our relationships with them is really powerful, so it's not surprising that when they are no longer with us, we feel a huge sense of grief.
But despite the widespread ownership of pets, other people don't always understand the grief associated with losing a pet.
In this episode, Steve is joined by Wendy Andrew, founder of The Scottish Pet Bereavement Counselling Service and Author of How To Recover From Pet Loss.
Wendy is known as 'the pet loss lady' and talks about why it's important to acknowledge the grief associated with losing our non-human friends. She also shares how all of us can be more empathetic when others go through pet loss.

Social anxiety is an intense fear of being judged or humiliated in social situations to the point where you really want to avoid them.
This is not the same as the normal nervousness that many of us feel when we go into a new experience such as meeting new people, especially when they are deemed as ‘high stakes’ such as a new boss or partner’s family.
When it becomes a problem is where you might be avoiding everyday social interactions such as bumping into the neighbours or fearing having to speak to people in a supermarket queue.
“As humans we are hard-wired for connection,” explains Mita Mistry, author of How to Understand and Deal With Social Anxiety, who says that the often-feared ‘small talk’ is actually good for us. “When we start to avoid those social interactions, it’s not that good for our resilience as our stress response may be activated.”
In this episode of ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LIFE, Steve Randall speaks to Mita about her book and finds out how we can all do some simple things to ease social anxiety.
