  • Why I'm Not Talking About Imposter Syndrome Anymore with Parul Singh
    May 8 2025

    Parul Singh is the founder of Parallel Minds Neurodiversity Consultancy, where she partners with organisations to create neuroinclusive work environments that enable Neurodivergent people to thrive. Before launching Parallel Minds, Parul worked in tech, specialising in talent acquisition, employer branding and ERG leadership.

    Her diagnoses, which came part-way through her career, completely changed the trajectory of her career. Parul draws on her experiences as an Autistic ADHDer and a woman of colour to advocate for Neuroinclusion through an intersectional lens.

    Originally from Liverpool, Parul has called Manchester home for the last ten years. When she's not working, she chases dopamine through many unfinished hobbies (embroidery being the latest one), in the gym, eating or playing the piano.

    Have you ever felt like a fraud despite your achievements? You're not alone—but it might not be what you think. This eye-opening conversation completely transforms our understanding of what we've long called "imposter syndrome."

    Parul reveals the fascinating history behind this misunderstood concept, explaining how it was originally termed "imposter phenomenon". We dive deep into what actually creates these feelings of inadequacy. It's not an inherent lack of confidence but rather the accumulated impact of microaggressions, barriers, and societal conditioning.

    Whether you've struggled with feelings of not belonging or want to create more inclusive spaces, this episode offers both validation and a roadmap for moving forward.

  • Vision Boards: From Dreams to Reality
    Apr 10 2025

    Vision boards offer so much more than pretty pictures on a page—they're powerful psychological tools that can fundamentally reshape how we approach our goals and dreams. This episode explores the strategy behind effective vision boards while weaving in authentic stories of transformation.

    What exactly makes vision boards work? It's not magic or manifestation alone—it's the beautiful marriage between visualization psychology and focused action. By creating visual representations of our deepest aspirations, we're effectively training our minds to recognize opportunities aligned with our goals. The images we choose matter less than the emotions they evoke—that magical blend of excitement and healthy fear that propels us forward even when challenges arise.

    Special guest Dave Holt from DH360 Fitness joins us to share his remarkable journey with vision boards. Years ago, he created a quadrant-style vision board featuring his dream house, car, vacation destination, and financial goals. Looking back, he discovered he had achieved virtually all these aspirations, sometimes in surprisingly specific ways. Dave's story highlights a crucial insight: goals that slightly scare you are often the ones most worth pursuing, pushing you beyond your comfort zone into genuine growth.

    Whether you prefer the tactile satisfaction of cutting magazine images or the convenience of digital collages, your vision board serves as a daily reminder of what truly matters to you. Place it somewhere you'll see regularly, spend time visualizing yourself already achieving these goals, and—most importantly—take consistent action toward making them reality. Vision boards aren't passive wish lists; they're strategic roadmaps for intentional living. Ready to craft yours and transform those dreams into achievements? This episode shows you exactly how to begin.

  • The Power of Gut Health with Dave Holt from DH360 Fitness
    Mar 28 2025

    Dive into the fascinating world of gut health with expert trainer Dave Holt from 360 Fitness as we unravel the mysteries of your body's most complex ecosystem. Your gut microbiome—home to over 100 trillion microorganisms—might be the missing piece in your health and fitness journey.

    Dave reveals how this "second brain" influences everything from physical performance to mental clarity, explaining why some people struggle despite following seemingly healthy diets and rigorous training regimens. The conversation shines light on how modern dietary habits, particularly our limited food diversity and reliance on processed "health foods," may be sabotaging our gut health without us realizing it.

    You'll discover practical strategies for nurturing your internal ecosystem, including which fermented foods to incorporate, how to approach intermittent fasting for gut repair, and why cooking methods matter more than you think. Dave dispels common misconceptions about "healthy alternatives" like almond milk, which often contain emulsifiers and additives that promote gut inflammation rather than health.

    Perhaps most surprisingly, we explore the profound connection between stress, sleep, and gut function. Dave makes a compelling case for why quality sleep should be prioritized above diet and exercise—revealing that even perfect nutrition can't overcome the damage of chronic sleep deprivation. Whether you're looking to improve your athletic performance, address digestive issues, or simply optimize your overall wellbeing, this conversation offers actionable insights that blend cutting-edge science with time-tested wisdom.

  • Water the Flowers, Not the Weeds: Reclaiming Joy in Friendship
    Mar 14 2025

    What happens when your entire friend group turns against you? Anna returns to share her profound journey through adult bullying, friendship dissolution, and ultimately—renewal and growth. This deeply personal conversation explores the painful reality of social ostracism that many experience but few discuss openly.

    Anna vulnerably recounts being systematically excluded from her social circle—uninvited from gatherings, ignored in public spaces, and experiencing what she calls "the eyes right treatment" where former friends would rather stare at walls than acknowledge her presence. Through this crisis, she gained three transformative insights discussed in this episode that completely reshaped her understanding of friendship.

    Using a beautiful garden metaphor that will stay with you long after listening, Anna describes how she discovered her seemingly lush friendship garden was mostly barren with "just a few daffodils poking up." Rather than despairing, she redirected her energy toward nurturing these authentic connections, creating space for new growth. "Because the white noise of all the substandard friendships had gone, I could really have time to nurture and water these daffodils," she explains.

    The conversation evolves into a masterclass on friendship dynamics—exploring active versus passive relationships, the essential "50/50 energy" exchange of healthy connections, and why we're drawn to certain people during different life stages. Most powerfully, Anna articulates why victims of social rejection shouldn't internalise shame: "When people are horrible to you, it's nothing to do with you, it's really about them."

    Whether you're currently navigating friendship difficulties, healing from past rejection, or simply seeking to cultivate more authentic connections, this episode offers practical wisdom through Anna's three rules friendship philosophy. As Anna beautifully summarises, the key to friendship fulfillment is simple yet profound: "Water the flowers, not the weeds."
