The Missing Peace Presents : The Thought Trap

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Grace Kelly, a coach who’s been a huge influence on my journey. We talk about grief, love, and what really carries us through life’s hardest moments. Grace shares the story of losing her partner and how, in the midst of it all, she discovered something deeper—something steady and healing. At the heart of it is a quiet truth: there is a love that never...

This week, I’m inviting you right into the heart of what I call P.E.E.P. — Play, Explore, Experiment, Play. I’ll share how my week has invited me to P.E.E.P and at the end of the podcast we do a mini exploration together in real time, so pack your snacks (I like chocolate) 👉Join my mailing list 👉 https://www.beccagardner.com/free-audio 👉 Find out about HOME, my 1:1 space https://www.beccagardne...

Turns out we’re all hanging out in one of two places — imagination or reality . One’s full of dramatic plots, twisty ‘what ifs’ and noisy thinking. The other is just… life, now, as it is. This episode is a friendly nudge to peep at where you’re spending your time — and what happens when you see it for yourself. Spoiler Alert: it’s simpler than your mind says it is! 👉Join my mailing list 👉 https:...

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. See below for al...

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 trap...

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...

In this episode, I get real about something I honestly don't think we got the memo on - the way we take our thoughts, feelings and emotions so flipping personally. I share a powerful analogy (not mine, but one that cracked something wide open for me when I first heard it). It's simple but it shifted so much. Without a shadow of a doubt, this has become my truth - and I see it land for others too,...

In this episode of The Thought Trap , we dive into the tricky world of beliefs—those deep-seated assumptions we accept as truth without ever questioning them. I share a personal story about a belief I held for most of my life: that I didn’t like cats. It was something I thought I knew for sure… until reality challenged that conviction in an unexpected way. Join me as I invite you to start question...

In this episode, I sit down with Kaz Lane (Karen), one of my incredible clients, to talk about her experience with Change Coaching through my coaching practice, The Missing Peace . She speaks straight from the heart. And honestly? What happens in coaching—when two people really show up—is nothing short of life-changing. I get asked all the time, “What even is coaching?” Sure, I can explain it. But...

Joining me is my first guest from across the pond, Angie Goen— a dear friend with a magical knack for talking about feelings in a way that makes you go, “Ohhh… that’s what that is. What even is a feeling? How do we actually feel our feelings? We chat about how so many of us are only just learning how to really feel — and how, once we do, we realise we were actually designed to handle it all. We ev...

In this solo episode, Just One Job , I dive into the profound question: What is the mind's only job? This conversation expands on themes from previous episodes and offers a deep, foundational look at the role of the mind in how we function as human beings. It’s an exploration that feels essential enough to dedicate a whole episode to. Whether you're new to the show or have been with me for a while...

In this episode, Mind On Repeat , I’m joined by special guest Hamish — an incredible guide and mentor. Together, we explore the mental maze of rumination — those thought loops that seem helpful but are actually just frustrating. We talk about how we innocently fall into them, what keeps us spinning, and how to spot the exits when our minds just won’t quit. It’s light, it’s real, and yes… we’ve bee...

In The Secret Door Out , I’m joined by my first-ever guest, Lexie — a friend, a coach, and an all-around amazing human. Lexie shares her way of finding the secret door out of thought traps and back to feeling more like yourself — not stuck in your head, but grounded in who you really are. Together, we explore how you can find your own way through too. Join us and start finding your own way back. I...

Before I even stepped into the dentist’s office, my mind had already spun a dramatic tale. But was any of it real? In this episode, we explore how our minds create fear before anything even happens—and what that tells us about our experience of reality 👉 Follow now so you don’t miss future weekly episodes packed with fresh insight, thoughtful reflection, and the occasional “wait, what?!” moment...

In this very first solo episode , I’m kicking things off with an honest, heartfelt intro to who I am (hi, I’m Becca Gardner!) and why this podcast exists. We’re diving into what it really means to see life differently —beyond the overthinking, the mental loops, and the stories we get stuck in. If you’ve ever felt trapped in your thoughts or disconnected from the moment you’re in… this is your invi...
