He also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing (the UK version of Dancing With The Stars.

Get Your Sh*t Together with author and anti-guru Sarah Knight #92

Anyone who describes themselves as an 'anti-guru' is okay in my book. This world of wellbeing and personal development is probably too full of people promising to change your life when actually they couldn't change a lightbulb. So welcome back one of my all-time fave podcast guests. It's almost a year ago that I interviewed Sarah Knight on Zestology. She wrote a brililant book called The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k ! I keep seeing people reading this book all over London. It's been ...

A Law of Attraction experiment. Attracting good vibes with author Jeannette Maw #90 Are you ready to fire up your cosmic good vibes?

Focus

How to improve your focus with leading performance coach Karl Morris #83 According to scientists, we are surrounded by so much technology these days, even a goldfish can now focus on something for longer than a human. Researchers surveyed 2,000 participants, and the results showed the average human attention span has fallen from 12 seconds in 2000, or around the time the mobile revolution began, to eight seconds. Goldfish, meanwhile, are believed to have an attention span of nine seconds. Yeh, w...

Next time on Zestology: When I spoke to my friend Karl Morris on Zestology a while back, it got a big response. He's a leading performance coach in the world of sport and kind of a big deal (though he'd be far too modest to admit that himself).

So we've gone in for more good days, more staying in the present and more what Karl calls Neutral Thinking. It all adds up to improving your focus and a...

Natasha Corrett is one of the UK's best known chefs and healthy eaters. She's got a ridic amount of followers on Insta/Facebook/Twitter etc, but despite all the press she's done and her huge profile, when she met me, it was the first podcast interview she's ever done.
