Episode 12: Healer or Hustler? How to tell the difference
<p>The wellness industry is worth around 5.6 trillion dollars, and the dodgy end has learned to talk exactly like the qualified end. In the last episode of season 2, Liz and Bernie get into grifters: the influencers and self-styled healers promising to fix your whole life with a weekend retreat and a well-placed crystal.</p><p></p><p>They talk about what being trauma informed actually means, why declaring a space safe doesn't make it so, and why the most confident voice is so often not the most qualified one. There's the difference between evidence and a good soundbite, why nuance never goes viral, and the small but vital things to look for before you hand over your money or your trust: scope of practice, supervision, real training.</p><p>It's not an anti-wellness episode. It's a be-discerning one. Because people deserve support, and that support should come with honesty, humility and proper ethical care, not grand promises and guru energy.</p><p></p><p>Back in August for season 3!</p><p></p><p><b>Shownotes:</b></p><ul><li>Gabor Maté: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://drgabormate.com/" target="_blank">https://drgabormate.com/</a></li><li>Brené Brown: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://brenebrown.com/" target="_blank">https://brenebrown.com/</a></li><li>China's restrictions on unqualified health and wellness content: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202508/04/WS688ff13aa310c0209d01abff.html" target="_blank">https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202508/04/WS688ff13aa310c0209d01abff.html</a><p></p></li></ul><p><b>Also mentioned</b></p><p>Liz's group coaching programme, It's Not Just Me.

The World Feels A Lot Right Now: Anxiety, Politics & Staying Grounded
<p>Anyone else feeling like the world has collectively lost the plot?</p><p></p><p>Between politics, wars, rising costs, climate anxiety, social media and the endless stream of breaking news, it's no wonder so many of us are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and emotionally exhausted.</p><p></p><p>In this episode, Liz and Bernie dive into what happens when our nervous systems are exposed to a constant flow of alarming information, and why so many people are walking around carrying stress, fear and uncertainty that doesn't seem to switch off.</p><p></p><p>Drawing on their experiences as coaches, they explore how uncertainty affects our wellbeing, why doomscrolling keeps us stuck in survival mode, and what happens when we feel powerless in the face of events we can't control.</p><p></p><p>The conversation also takes a thoughtful look at politics, community, difference, fear and belonging, while asking an important question: how do we stay informed and engaged without becoming completely consumed by what's happening in the world?</p><p></p><p>Along the way, they chat about:</p><p></p><p>• Why the world feels more overwhelming than ever<br />• The impact of constant news consumption on our nervous systems<br />• Vicarious trauma and emotional contagion<br />• The psychology of fear, uncertainty and control<br />• Why people seek certainty when life feels unstable<br />• Social media algorithms and the doomscrolling trap<br />• The importance of community, connection and curiosity<br />• Looking for "glimmers" and practising a little more bloom scrolling<br />• Simple ways to feel more grounded when everything feels chaotic</p><p></p><p>This isn't a conversation about ignoring what's happening around us. It's about finding ways to stay informed, stay connected and stay human without burning ourselves out in the process.</p><p></p><p>Because maybe the answer isn't carrying the whole world on our shoulders.</p><p></p><p>Maybe it's putting the phone down for a bit, looking for the helpers, finding some glimmers, watching cute Shetland ponies run around a field, and remembering that we're all just doing our best to make sense of a very noisy world.</p><h3><b>Mentioned in this episode</b></h3><p>• Julian Rotter's theory of Locus of Control<br />• Pearl Drego's concept of the Cultural Parent<br />• Vicarious Trauma<br />• Doomscrolling and Bloom Scrolling<br />• Mr Rogers' famous advice: "Look for the helpers"<br />• <i>Life Is Beautiful</i> (1997) – the Oscar-winning film Bernie references when talking about finding hope, humanity and moments of joy even in the darkest circumstances.</p><p></p><p>If this episode resonated with you, we'd love it if you'd follow, rate and review the podcast, and share it with someone who might need the reminder that they're not the only one feeling this way.</p><p></p><p>Because we're all in this together. Same, but different.</p>
