Ep 89: Louise Gallagher on the courage to start something that matters
What does it take to turn an idea into a thriving business while juggling a career, family life and everything in between?
In this episode of the Do Good Podcast, Rob Watson sits down with Louise Gallagher, founder of Mersea Sauna, to explore her journey from discovering sea sauna culture in Ireland to bringing a unique outdoor wellness experience to Merseyside.
What started as a simple idea has grown into something much bigger — bringing people together through sauna, cold water, nature and community.
Louise shares the realities of entrepreneurship, the courage it takes to start something new, the challenges of building a business alongside family life, and why sometimes you have to stop waiting for someone else to make your idea happen.
In this episode, we explore:
The inspiration behind Mersea Sauna
Finding the courage to turn an idea into reality
Taking risks and navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship
Balancing business, work and family life
The growing popularity of sauna and cold water therapy
Why connection, nature and community matter for our wellbeing
Lessons learned from building a business from scratch
Advice for anyone sitting on an idea but afraid to take the leap
Whether you're thinking about starting your own business, curious about sauna culture or simply looking for inspiration to make a change, this conversation is a reminder of what's possible when you back yourself and take that first step.

Ep 88: John Munro on the daily habit you’re missing
In today's podcast, I welcome John Munro, founder of Long White Cloud Qigong. For over 20 years, he’s been exploring how small, consistent practices can have a profound impact on how we feel and how we live.
We explore John’s journey into qigong and how it’s shaped both his life and the global organisation he leads today. We break down what qigong actually is, how it works, and what it offers in a modern world that’s often fast, stressful, and disconnected.
We get into the practical side too—simple daily habits, breathwork, and how even 10 minutes a day can help calm the nervous system, improve energy, and bring a sense of balance. We also discuss the real, tangible benefits people can expect, and how long it takes to feel a difference.
The conversation goes deeper into health, questioning the current medical model, and whether we’ve lost something fundamental in the West when it comes to wellbeing. We also touch on how practices like this could integrate with modern healthcare in a meaningful way.

Ep 87: Erica Komisar on what children really need & the irreplaceable role of mothers
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.
