This episode is all about overwhelm. It’s such a relatable topic — an undercurrent that flows through so many of us and through society as a whole. I love how Clare talks about it: with honesty, warmth, and her brilliant reminder to “slow the chuff down.”

Clare has an incredible way of helping us realise we’re not alone in this, and that we really can find space to breathe again.

"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"

Welcome to the very first episode of "Trap Talk"—a new monthly segment where we take a real-life question and explore the kind of thinking that quietly keeps us stuck in a thought trap. This time, we're looking at moods—those heavy emotional shifts that seem to take over without warning. We will gently unpack how our relationship to moods (and the thoughts that fuel them) can either keep us trapped… or help us find freedom.

Have a question you'd love to hear unpacked in a future "Trap Talk?" I'd love to hear from you!

This is Episode 10, and I’m feeling REALLY proud of myself—this feels like a huge milestone! I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than by inviting Dr. Giles P. Croft onto the show.

He’s very funny, clever, and incredibly relatable. In this celebratory episode, he poses—and answers—the question: "What’s the first thing we need to know to escape a Thought Trap?"

A bit about the Doctor with a difference

Giles moved away from an NHS surgical career to explore various alternative life-paths, in an accidental quest to find the source of fulfilment and happiness, ultimately realising it was there all along. These days he writes a free "Daily Reminder" email for a growing community of like-minded people, hosts a monthly 'GP' surgery with a difference, and delivers restorative coaching sessions both online and outdoors in the Brecon Beacons National Park, where he lives with his wife and daughter. When not working, he's usually riding his bike, somewhere in the hills.
