Today’s episode of the Do Good Podcast is a profound & thought-provoking conversation with psychoanalyst Erica Komisar, and it explores some deeply meaningful ideas about parenting, motherhood, and emotional development. We talk about why the first three years of a child’s life are so foundational, and how a secure attachment with a parent—especially a mother—can shape a child’s mental health and personality for years to come. Erica doesn’t shy away from big topics either—we get into the impact of the feminist movement, how modern society undervalues the role of mothers, and why being emotionally present for our kids matters more than we think. Her thought-provoking insights challenge the status quo and remind us of the profound power of presence, sacrifice, and love in raising emotionally healthy children.

Simon Esler fights for free thought with every tool he has. After building a free thinking, 14 thousand member think tank on Facebook, Simon was censored across social media for challenging official narratives. In response, he pivoted his focus to providing content to freedom oriented streaming platforms, refining his skills as a researcher, content creator and filmmaker within private communities. After almost half a decade of writing, shooting and editing original content focused on modern warfare from a psychological, cultural and spiritual perspective, Simon decided to release his first independent project for the public at large: CUT - Daughters of the West, which is an investigation into cosmetic surgery, feminist sexual liberation, and modern media trends as part of a warped legacy that was being handed to young girls as a foundation for gender ideology to take hold. In this episode, we delve into: - Simon’s background - His film CUT - Daughters of the West - What’s behind the trans-agenda - 5th generation warfare and how it’s being used on teenagers - The war on the family unit - The power of the silent majority - Unschooling - The importance of rite of passage in our children’s development - Plus plenty more!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Linzy Boden, who is an Integrated Therapist, Trainer and Speaker who has a real desire to help others find their true potential. As a child growing up she always felt as if she never really fit… the proverbial square peg. Looking back, she can see now that this feeling was the origin of wanting to help others and she believes the more we can learn and understand about ourselves the more we can tap into our inner strength and happiness. When working with people she has a strong desire in always wanting people to feel truly understood and heard, as well as learn more about themselves and to be able to continuously develop as human beings. I found this conversation inspiring, it’s always a joy to be in the company of those full of wisdom and knowledge. In this episode, we delve into: - Linzy own journey towards becoming a counsellor - Benefits of Integrative Therapy - Impact Covid has had on mental health (esp. with the youth) - Society’s over-reliant on anti-depressants - Parenthood and how best to show up for our children - How our school system is broken and the potential for change - Lack of positive role models in society - Psychedelics and their potential for healing - Plus plenty more!

In today’s show, I sit down again with Dr. Anton Krige, who is a medical doctor, multiple Ironman finisher, and functional medicine specialist. In this episode, we dive deep into what it’s like to work closely with Anton and how he transforms his patient's health and well-being. We used me as the case study in this one and it was eye-opening to get the results back from some of the tests I did (particularly finding out that my biological age is 29 which isn’t bad for a 40-something guy). And there were plenty of other fascinating insights I found out about which I’ve been able to integrate into my daily routine. Anton treats those with complex chronic conditions as well as those who wish to optimise sports performance whilst maintaining health & wellness using his research skills and experience to incorporate cutting-edge research findings in both health and exercise physiology. Anton was previously on the show in episode 68 in case anyone wants to hear a more wide-ranging interview on health and some of the key lifestyle factors for transforming it, the latest tech you can use to improve your health as well as what an ideal day looks like to turn around your metabolic health.

Marcus Pibworth is a storyteller based in England but known to pop up around the globe, running storytelling workshops. He is an alumni of ‘The International School of Storytelling’. One of the key focuses of Marcus’ current work is on using storytelling to explore masculinity through his ‘Stories For Men’ series. I first came across Marcus in Positive News Magazine a few years back, feeling inspired by his nomadic lifestyle living in a van and travelling around the UK & Europe recording his Ministry of Change podcast. Which is conversations about mental health, navigating the difficult bits of life and what it really means to be human. In this podcast we discuss what it was like to live in a van for 3 years, mental health challenges men face, the transformational effects of storytelling, embracing fatherhood and much more in this insightful conversation.

In this episode, I welcome spiritual teacher Louise Kay back on the show (for a fourth time). We hear her insight on how these challenging times are triggering the great awakening in us and mankind. We also hear how to navigate difficult relationships as well conscious manifestation. Louise grounds all the wisdom shared with an embodied awareness guided meditation towards the end. I’m always grateful for my conversations with Louise, and as I joked in the show, I imagine we’ll be having these deep conversations for many more years until we are old and grey.

In today’s episode, I delve deep into why I believe there’s never been a more important time to connect with others, speak our truth, share solutions and be the change we see in the world. Looking around and what has unfolded these past few years and seeing things with your eyes wide open you realise, once you see what’s happening you can’t unsee it. In this podcast, I give my take on the narrative that’s been playing out, sharing my own recent experience with Covid, how critical early treatment is, the suppression of some of the world’s leading doctors, how clinical trials show natural immunity is far more robust than immunity from the vaccine. I also delve into how none of the measures in place appears to be supporting increased health. In fact, they are leading to the erosion of our freedoms and potentially taking us down a dystopian version of reality. Yet, none of this must come to pass. If more of us shine our light on the darkness for others to see we can choose a different path for humanity. One that is built on connection, freedom and love. For this to happen it’s going to take us all stepping forward and being part of the solution, as the old systems crumble and new ones come to light. Like Gandhi before us, it’s going to take a non-violent revolution of consciousness. These challenging times will pass, like all things in life, whether they be good times or bad times nothing lasts in this life. But what a ride life is!
