In this podcast, we use the spectra of psychology and philosophy to explore the things that we may usually overlook in our lives.
We interview Mothers, Chefs, Yogis, Researchers and many Creators across the spectrum, to hear their stories about what is important and impactful in their lives.
***Disclaimer: please don't not listen to this when driving and attempting any other activities*** Something different from "On The Fringes" This is a FREE hypnosis from @breakingthroughcoaching (Jake). It is to help you rebalance, re-energise, realign and feel revitalised. We believe in talking about "the fringes" in life and also experiencing our own edges of what can transform us. So be open and give this hypnosis a go. Hypnosis is just our natural state of relaxation. You can, at any point, bring yourself out of hypnosis at any time(just so you know). Enjoy the healing power of words and your own mind.

The 4 pillars show us that we are part of a collective, and allow us to feel purposeful on a humanistic level:
These are examples of how they show up in our daily lives:
Continue the species - Being a parent, guardian or teacher, finding love and courtship.
Master our mind (Personal development) - Philosophy, Psychology, Education and even media, i.e. teaching something to someone.
Master our environment - Creating or working at business, protecting your environment, advances in science, making a home, gardening and preventing illness or accidents.
Increase our satisfaction - Doing things that bring you joy or expand you i.e. finding community in religion, learning about or creating a culture, and experiencing and appreciating art.
This shows that you have influence and meaning just through your regular lives.

Ep 3 - Mental Illness in the Justice System w/ Becky Nicholls MA
In this episode we are joined by Becky Nicholls a Clinical Psychologist and friend of the show, who has a deep passion for changing the stigma around mental health in the justice system. She was so fascinated by the sexual preferences of Psychopaths, that she chose to write about it for her dissertation https://repository.cardiffmet.ac.uk/handle/10369/10004.
In this episode we discuss how people with mental illness are mis-characterised in the Justice system. And out of pure curiosity we take a tangent into the different types of psychopaths and how they think and function.
