I am Enough

“Safe space” is a popular phrase, but what does it look like when real people walk into a room with real histories, triggers, opinions, and nerves?  Lyn Man is joined by Mark Henderson, Alex Papworth, and Scott Plate to unpack psychological safety and emotional safety with honesty, nuance, and a few unexpected lessons from the natural world.  We explore the uncomfortable truth that facilitators ca...

Your life can look fine on paper and still feel unbearable in your body. That disconnect sits at the heart of our conversation with Shannon Eastman, founder of the HOSA Institute and co-architect of Human Operating System Architecture (HOSA).  We talk candidly about what happens when years of personal development, mindset training and “doing all the right things” still do not create change that ho...

“We are nature” is a comforting phrase until you notice how often you live like you’re outside of it.  I sit down with Julie Brams, author of The Nature Embedded Mind, to explore what actually helps that idea land in the body not as a belief, but as a lived experience that changes how we breathe, choose, and relate. Julie brings her work as an earth-centred psychotherapist and a nature and forest...

Polarisation  not only splits countries, it splits families, teams, friendships, and even our inner life. When the world feels tense, the temptation is to grip harder, pick a side, and defend it as if certainty will keep us safe. In this episode we wanted to ask a different question: how do we increase our capacity to hold two opposing possibilities, without collapsing into judgement or losing our...

Your body is not a problem to solve, even if you have spent years being told it is.  I sit down with Claire Ashton, a body image and eating coach with a background in health, to talk about the moment her entire relationship with food, exercise, and control was forced to change. After an accident in 2016 left her in a wheelchair and facing the possibility of not walking again, the old promise of di...

Scarcity can look like empty cupboards, but it can also look like a packed diary, a tight chest, and a quiet belief that you are not allowed to want, ask, or receive.  We sit down with Alex Papworth, Mark Henderson, Marie Dove, and returning guest Magnus Florin to unpack how scarcity thinking gets installed through society’s economic story, fear of loss, and the pressure to keep up. The surprising...

Your emotions are not a fault in the wiring. They are signals from a nervous system doing its best to keep you alive. I’m joined by Matthew Bushell for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about enoughness, bipolar disorder, addiction, shame and the slow work of rebuilding self-trust. Matthew shares how learning “external” strength in the army shaped him, and how that same drive to push throu...

What if the smartest person in the room is the room itself?  We gather with Alex Papworth, Mark Henderson, and Scott Plate to explore the quiet power of shared spaces—how simple structures, deep listening, and genuine belonging turn groups into living systems that think and feel together. We start with the theatre, where a director’s first vision only becomes real when the whole cast can co‑create...

What if your clearest guidance isn’t something you find, but something you feel?  We sit down with Alexander and Christopher Evert of Wisdom on the Go to explore how inner wisdom becomes reliable when we move from mind-led performance to heart-led presence. Through stories, simple practices and honest reflection, we unpack how trust, embodiment and community can transform how we live, work and lea...

Ever notice how the word should sneaks into your goals and steals the joy?  We sat down with Scott Plate, Alex Papworth, and Mark Henderson to unravel the pressure to optimise our lives for status, speed, and approval—and to replace it with a gentler standard: moving from inner desire, not external demand. We start with a vivid metaphor: learning to drive a manual on a hill. Finding the friction p...

What if the moment you stop proving is the moment you finally feel at home in your own skin?  We sit down with embodiment and leadership coach Angélique van Eeuwen-Bos to explore how a life reorients when you trade overthinking for felt sense, and speed for presence. From childhood alienation and corporate burnout to a quiet, radical choice — sit in a café and do nothing — Angélique  shares how sl...

What if discomfort isn’t a threat to outrun but a compass to read?  We dive into the art of getting comfortable with the uncomfortable by reframing emotions as information and building the capacity to hold hard moments without breaking faith with ourselves. With guests Scott Plate, Alex Papworth, and Marie Dove, we bridge psychology and somatics to show how breath, attention, and incremental pract...

What if the wisdom you’re searching for is already blooming through the cracks at your feet?  Lyn sits down with Ruth Green, a feminist pagan and community gardener, to trace a life lived in conversation with nature—from childhood days spent still among rabbits to leading a small, potent circle that honours the Wheel of the Year. Together we unpack how beauty becomes a practice, why wildflowers ar...

What if the reason you feel stretched thin isn’t a lack of discipline but a lack of tuning to the seasons?  We dive into the tension between a culture that worships constant growth and a body that thrives on ebb and flow. Together with Mark Henderson and Alex Papworth, we explore how tuning into nature’s rhythms — and our own — brings steadier energy, sharper focus, and a kinder relationship with...

What if enoughness isn’t something you earn, but something you remember when you slow down?  This week we sit with regular contributor Mark Henderson, co‑creator of Natural Intelligence and seasoned coach, to explore how presence, nature, and awe can transform confidence, creativity, and workplace culture. Mark’s story begins in the Scottish hills, where long solo walks built self-sufficiency and...

What keeps us tethered to patterns, beliefs, and identities that no longer serve us?  In this deep exploration of attachment, we journey through the invisible threads that both connect and constrain us. The conversation begins with a simple insight - our very first human experience is one of attachment through the umbilical cord. From there, we navigate the complex terrain of how we form connectio...

What does it take to see your unique wholeness?  What does it truly mean to give from this place rather than scarcity?  In this conversation we explore the often-overlooked connections between feeling "enough", the ability to see out own gifts and our capacity for genuine generosity.

Do you ever take time to notice what is behind the actions you are taking? In this episode I have a conversation with Alex Papworth and Mark Henderson about what we can learn from leaves around taking action. This led us to talk about balancing being and doing, doing things with ease and flow, bringing in seasonality, giving and receiving and noticing when that is transactional or from a place of...

Have you ever noticed that when you bring a mix of community, self-care and nature into your life you strengthen you inner self?  That you can do more of what you want to do? This week I have a conversation with Sami Aaron, founder of the Resilient Activist organisation.  Sami founded the organisation after her official retirement at 65 while having a deep knowing this was something she had to do...

Do you put more value on knowledge than what you intuitively know? This week we look at how our western cultures value intellect over our inner knowing and explore how that inner knowing shows up for each of us. We explore how we have to unlearn our way of being in the world, to look internally not just externally, how traditional schooling puts into an acceptable mold and squashes anything that c...

What happens when we step into the unknown, trust and let the magic emerge? In this conversation Magnus Florin took me on a journey looking at what happens when we draw on the principles of Theatre Improvisation, if we step out of thinking is this right or wrong, if we create a space in-between where we can allow something greater to emerge and expand by being open to possibilities. We talk about...

What is influencing how you think and what you do? In this conversation Alex Papworth and Mark Henderson join me to look at what we can learn from the branches; sharing our experiences and insights around what supports our actions and thoughts, how letting go can allow things to compost and feed the new or how it can remain entangled within us.  All of this is a process and more than just awarenes...

How are you looking at situations you are in - lightly or with heaviness? GG Poe shares with me how holding things lightly helps us to start to make choices from a different perspective, that it gives us more freedom.  We discuss making choices and deciding how to be in and see challenges we face.  How cultures impact our beliefs and how the environment we are in can influence how we see ourselves...
