Today I sit down with Beckie Sorby about trauma (Mnemodynamic Therapist) to talk about what trauma really feels like, and how healing is possible.

We cover how trauma can be small, quiet experiences, how your body remembers it, and why triggers sometimes make you react in ways that don’t feel like “you.”

And if you like what we do, follow the podcast to catch future episodes. Healing really is possible, one gentle step at a time. 💛

Love this! Does it help or hinder...

After 10 months away grinding at my businesses, I'm BACK with a raw chat on men's mental health! 🔥

Joined my biz partner Charles (27, Dorset hustler) and mate James (45, Yorkshire tiler) to unpack what it REALLY means to be a man in 2025.

What if the real strength isn’t in staying silent, but in finally saying what’s been on your mind? Listen in and see.

We shred macho myths, dive into 2024 Google trends (anxiety, depression, burnout exploding!), and share gut-wrenching stories: University isolation, grief, booze & soul-crushing drops.

We shared our own way of living life from whole-foods, fitness, ice-cold plunges, phone-free sleep hacks.

Dating apps? Swipe hell, be real, embrace rejection!

Social media traps? Delete & detox.

Final thoughts: Talk it out, chase joy, start small, build unbreakable routines. Health's your foundation!

Perfect for your run or commute. Listen now & level up! 💪 Who's tuning in? 👇

If you have any tips to look after your own well-being, please share in the comments box.

Hey everyone 👋 It’s been a while since I last posted, I’ve been busy building a new business.

Lately, I’ve been reading a lot and I’m on the hunt for fresh recommendations in the personal growth space. I’ve made my way through most of my current collection and would love to hear what’s inspired you recently in the world of books.

Here are a few books that really made an impact on me:

📖 Breath by James Nestor
Reminded me that no matter what we eat or how much we exercise, none of it matters unless we’re breathing correctly. It completely changed the way I think about health and longevity.

📖 Attached by Amir Levine & Rachel Heller
Opened my eyes to attachment styles and how they shape relationships, friendships, and communication.

📖 Freedom from Anxiety by Hayley Austin
Full of practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety, with the reminder that we don’t have to be at the mercy of it.

I’ve also written a new blog, click below to check it out. Would love your thoughts and, of course, your book suggestions!

✨ Becoming the Best Version of You ✨

Change is never easy, self-doubt, stress, and old habits can keep us stuck. But with self-discipline (not fleeting motivation), everything becomes possible.

In my latest blog, I share how I'm transforming my health, confidence, and mindset by:

💪 Reshaping my diet & exercise routine
📚 Building mental strength through reading
🪞 Choosing self-honesty and daily action

Our growth is your responsibility and our freedom.

👉 Read the full story and start reflecting on the changes you want to make 👇

Change isn’t about motivation, it’s about self-discipline. By reshaping your diet, exercise, and mindset through reading, you can build confidence and growth you never thought was possible.

🌟 A Heartfelt Podcast Episode on Grief 🌟

Grief doesn't wait for the right moment; it can strike unexpectedly, leaving us shattered and emotionally broken. Today, I had a heart-warming conversation with my Mum, a dedicated retired Palliative Care Nurse. Together, we delved into her encounters with grief in end-of-life care and reflected on the loss of my dear Dad.

The timing felt right as January marks the anniversary of my father's passing, prompting me to do this episode.

For all those navigating the turbulent waters of grief, we extend our hand to you. In the midst of darkness, there is a glimmer of hope on the horizon.💖

Exciting news! Episode 8 of A Path to Self-Healing podcast is now available!

A personal subject, close to our hearts The Midlife Coach - Sue Ashford 🥰.

ℹ️ Understanding Anxiety: Looking into the reasons behind our emotions and seeking solutions for those who are currently struggling.

In the UK, 6% of individuals have an anxiety disorder, with 8.2 million cases reported in 2014. These numbers have probably increased over the years with Covid and the ever-evolving world of technology, even in these times we have never been so connected through technology, however disconnected at the same time.

Anxiety disorders are treatable but often go untreated. Learn about symptoms, understanding the parts of the brain that process emotions, and practical tips for managing anxiety. Our personal experiences and stories may relate to you.

Remember, self-care and positive thinking are key.

Anxiety is an emotion that is demanding our attention, listen to those thoughts, ignore them and they will begin to shout for your attention.

If you've endured anxiety and are still facing challenges, this episode may be for you.

A Path to Self-Healing with Chris Leather · Episode

02/11/2024

Hey everyone, 👋

It's been a while since I last posted here! Getting back into the social media world after a 7-year break is still a challenge, but I'm thrilled to share that I've been pouring my time into launching a new business with a close friend set to debut hopefully before Christmas 🚀

I've got some exciting news to share, I've been invited to be a guest on a popular podcast in the new year! It's a bit nerve-wracking knowing that the podcast has over 1 million downloads, but I know growth happens when you step out of your comfort zone. I can't wait to share the episode with you all in early 2025🎙️

Have you recently challenged yourself to step outside your comfort zone? I'd love to hear about your experiences! 🌟 . Message me directly or post on the thread below, I love inspired stories.
