Weekly episodes of The Tiny Pod can be found at https://www.patreon.com/c/TheTinyPod This week on The Tiny Pod Patreon is all About Law, in honour of the courageous Filton 25, particularly those sentenced wrongfully as "terrorists." Throughout history, social justice moved faster than law, and laws were only changed because ordinary people unite...

This article was written last year, and rejected by establishment media so I have chosen to share it here in light of Kemi Badenoch’s dangerous article in The Times. She fails to reference all the reports and reviews : Scarman Report, Lammy Review, IPCC review, IOPC and internal reviews, Baroness Casey Report, Dr Shereen Daniel’s Race Action Plan.. she does however mention the Macpherson inquiry i...

This week on The Tiny Pod on Patreon is all about Misogyny, in honour of the courageous girls in Fordingbridge, the courageous women who survived the violence of the IDF when their flotilla was seized on route to Gaza, and all survivors of male violence. People hear the word Misogyny and immediately get defensive. People think of it in its most extreme form as hatred for all women. But unexamined,...

This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Ceasefire. From the Latin word Cessare, meaning to stop, to yield, to give over, a ceasefire is an exhale, a nervous system rest and reset, and it is only when our nervous systems are parasympathetic, at rest, that we are able to see with clarity and a clear head, and negotiate real peace. Ceasefires create space for peace by stopping further harm, pausing ac...

This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Faith. Faith isn't just a feeling, it is a state of being fully sure. Faith is inner fortitude. “Faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Everything we now see was once unseen: houses, buildings, clothes, cars were all once just faith that they were possible. Faith is not 'I’ll believe it when I see it,' Fai...

This week on The Tiny Pod is all About Terror. Historically, terror is a tool used by governments for control, distraction away from their atrocities, to instil fear to paralyse any resistance. Terror only survives when we are disconnected - from ourselves, from truth and from each other. The solution is in your nervous system. When we are rooted in ourselves, we cannot be shaken by terror. See yo...

This week on the Tiny Pod is all About Grief. Grief is found in the everyday, it begins in birth with that first loss of connection from the safety of the womb and compounds throughout childhood with every lost micro connection, trauma, neglect, and moments of rejection and humiliation just for being ourself. We learn early to carry it silently, to adapt, to cope using all the coping mechanisms we...

In honour of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and every single human who has courage to stand up to injustice, this week on The Tiny Pod is all About Courage. The word courage comes from the Latin word ‘cod’ meaning heart. Courage comes from the heart. Our heart is the source of our power, it is the strongest electromagnetic field, it generates our energy. Broken hearts, hard hearts, act from fear. Coward...

.. And Illegal Alien, and inalienable rights and alienation. This week on the Tiny Pod is all about neutral, natural words immigrant and alien becoming charged when media-political narratives were created as a distraction for power to hide behind. Dehumanising language removes dignity and protection. Labelling a human being an “illegal alien,” criminalises the person, and strips them of their huma...

This week is all About Liberal. The word liberal comes from the Latin word Liber, meaning free. Liberal first found its way into politics in 17th Century England around the time of the “Glorious Revolution.” John Locke, often called the founding father of liberalism, wrote about life, liberty, happiness and self-ownership of property. Thomas Jefferson later took his philosophies and adapted them f...

HAPPY NEW YEAR 🌟 Welcome to Season 5! As we look back at the year past, and look forward to the year ahead, we have the clarity to see where we are, and to clarify who we are. Clarifying is a process, it involves heat, pressure, time and patience. We often want to skip the process to get to the result, we imagine results will fulfil us- wealth, love, achievements. But it is the process of clarifi...

This week is all About Capacity. As the year draws to a close, we reflect on all that has past, and what is to come in the New Year. We make New Years Resolutions, and believe in new possibility. Capacity is the inner structure that allows beliefs to take form: love, money, purpose and change, without collapsing. Beliefs are the initiator, capacity sustains quietly, through steadiness, regulation...

This week is all About Perfection. The original meaning of perfection was all about wholeness, completion, and the word implied nothing essential was missing. Our modern world, shaped by religious and capitalist ideas has replaced this completeness with flawlessness. Perfection is the enemy of the good. Needing every thing to be perfect is a signal the nervous system is deregulated, and essentiall...

This week is all about how we try to quantify our life to find meaning, comfort and a sense of control. Our modern world celebrates quantity - how much money, power, achievements, titles, friends we have. We measure the success of relationships in the length of time couples are together. It is in the quality, not quantity, that true value is found. See you next week, M x

Transaction originally meant to drive something through, bringing something to fulfilment. It was complete in and of itself. Over time, transaction became about exchange, commerce, giving and receiving, and it is this modern understanding that has become contaminated by fear, greed and ego. Transaction from scarcity is a trauma response. When you are in survival, transaction is about trying to win...

Today on The Tiny Pod is all About Dominance. Dominance is a survival mechanism, it is primal- whoever had resources, territory and control survived. Dominance is built on the nervous system of the traumatised. Our modern world today continues to reward dominance: those who perform, control, force and strive garner attention, wealth, power and influence. Dominators have to win at all costs because...

This week is all About Money. Money is used by the wealthy to disempower, to distract us away from our self and to create shame that exhausts us to enslave us to a broken system that thrives on the oppression of others. Capitalism needs us to spend, to serve and to remain in a constant state of lack so that we forget who we truly are. Alignment is our natural state, and nothing pulls us out of ali...

This week’s pod, in honour of World Kindness Day on Thursday 13th November, is all About Kindness. True kindness is not actions, gestures, donations. It is the intention behind them. It flows from your heart, it is your inherent nature. When we are in survival, competition, proving our worth, seeking favour, we cannot be truly kind because we are seeking a return “in kind,” recognition, social fav...

This week is all About Peace, in honour of Remembrance Day. Our government, political and financial structures were built on war, violence, inequality, oppression to control society, and enrich the few in power. War is big business, the government increases its annual spend on defence year on year. And even peace is commodified, the very companies that supplied the weapons of mass destruction now...

This week I talk About Love. The word ‘love’ is misused to describe all manner of actions, behaviours, feelings and desires that are not love at all. We use ‘love’ to manipulate, control, survive. When we fear, whether we fear losing someone or something, fear being alone, or fear being known, we cannot love, truly. Courage is from the heart, and from the heart, love casts out fear. For further re...

Truth can be divisive, polarising . We risk losing belonging to a family, a community or a collective built on pretence and performance when we speak truth. This threat of rejection can keep us stuck in dishonesty, and silent out of fear. Truth is uncomfortable for those who have not built the capacity to hold it. Truth is the enemy of oppressors and systems that thrive on our ignorance, complacen...

Community, in its true sense of shared values, shared care, unity and responsibility towards one another feeds our soul. Community can also be superficial, performative, transactional, a comfort we use when it benefits us. We talk of how wonderful our community is, as long as it costs us nothing and serves all our superficial needs. True community asks of us participation. True community is giving...

Silence can be a shield, a protection from negativity and a tool to preserve time and energy where our words go unheard. But silence can also be participation in abuse, oppression and harm. When we see or know of injustice, and we choose to remain silent, we are choosing complicity in that injustice. United we have the power to change and challenge systems that cause harm, individuals that abuse,...

This week I talk about white privilege. We often shy away from topics that are uncomfortable. We deny our own contribution to the parts of society that we deem ugly, immoral, or challenging. But unless we are willing and able to look at ourselves, and to transform ourselves, we will never be able to transform society, or systems like oppression, racism, and othering. White privilege is subtle, oft...

On Monday 29th September 2025 at 2:30pm in a quiet residential street in North West London, near the local primary school, a 34 year old man was violently attacked by a police officer. Constable Merrick 2497NW, on SOLO patrol, pursued , mounted and smashed in the head this young man, using his handcuffs as a lethal weapon. He sat on the victim, he pressed his face into the ground and placed his fo...
