The Twilight Conversations

Lets take another trip into the fascinating world of covers, versions & interpretations of classic songs by other artists. There are so many fabulous options- I've chosen twelve & could probably do 12 episodes exploring different renditions of popular or loved tunes. While all this is going on, I invite you to examine your own ‘cover stories’ what are the good ones? Funny ones, what ar...

In this episode, we play around with catchy, famous bass lines, riffs, licks & breaks. I simultaneously explore baseline behaviours, underlying baseline energy. The bass is humble, unassuming, understated-yet it's vital for the whole band/song to function & work. The bass notes are deep in the core of the human soul, the drums are the heartbeat & the guitars, keyboards & whole...

In this episode, I attempt to explore the taboo area of female abusers, women who are bad, evil, nasty & viscous. With expert collaboration from Ann O’Connell (aka Redz or Redzer) we dare to recognise & acknowledge female pedophelia... Maybe the final taboo... We explore how culture/society has a collective denial/resistance to seeing women as predators or perpetrators... Yet we know they...

In this Episode, we are taken on a mystical & magical journey where Noel effortlessly & naturally draws us into to the sacred space of human suffering through isolation/disconnection & transcendence through humility, modesty, honesty & humour as he offers a masterclass in authenticity in therapy through genuine encounter & breathtakingly honest self disclosure... Creating safet...

She opens her beautiful, courageous heart & invites us all to explore the sometimes feared & revered phenomenon of love... Particularly the intoxicating & bewitching energy of romantic love... S...

Persecutor-Victim-rescuer..recognise yourself or somebody else you know? These 3 positions are hardwired into the human psyche. Generally we are aware of these dynamics & do not get trapped in the potential suffocating effects of this insidious ‘set up’ Narcissists, abusers & immature personalities thrive in the Drama triangle-they love it & derive great pleasure & supply from trap...

This episode explores our energy levels-particularly psychologically, emotionally & spiritually. Is there far more going out than coming in? Are the choices we are making nourishing, nurturing & good for us? Are you the people/relationships in our lives givers or takers? How do you fill your cup? Do you believe your cup is worth filling? All of this & so much more on this groovy Pod! ...

Childlike or Childish? Are we fully in our adult selves or merely fucked up kids in grown up bodies? I think most reasonable human beings, strive to be responsible adults & keep our inner little ones in check with kindness, love, compassion & a firm, steady hand. We live in a confusing post truth society that rewards childish, narcissistic behaviour, where selfishness, greed & tantrums...

This pod delves into techniques, strategies & mindsets to help you manage & cope with difficult personality types, particularly those who play the ‘victim game’ & hide behind the shy or vulnerable persona...The gold star response is ‘no contact’. That's not always possible, so we may work with, live with, love or be in love with these very challenging personalities. So we play with...

In this episode, I take a closer look at what's behind the difficult/toxic/narcissistic personality. What drives this distorted energy? Its not unusual to find the victimhood mentality right at the core... This combined with the vulnerable’ or timid narcissistic presentation, brings a volatile cocktail of seething entitlement, poor meism, moody nobody really gets me, covert vengeance, paranoia...

Ok, so in this Pod, I reveal some of my favourite covers, tributes & interpretations of some of my favourite artists songs! Generally I prefer the original recordings, however, there are some renditions that absolutely deserve to be highlighted. Of course I quickly discovered that there are far more cool covers than I realised! So there will be more Pods exploring this exciting process... Podc...

Sadly, we say farewell to our beautiful mother, the grandmother, great grandmother, friend to all & overall cool gal...has taken the next step in her journey, she has crossed that mysterious rubicon & is having new peaceful & happy adventures! In this episode I attempt to pay homage to this amazing woman, share my grief/loss/sadness & remember so fondly the irresistible, irrepressi...

‘Are you for real?’ ‘So this is who you are...’ In this episode I take a close look at our inner experience & expression of the phrase: ‘Really?’ & all the different meanings that might have depending on what we are encountering or dealing with in the other. Is it that longed for, beautiful, humble: ‘really’ thank you for being you & being so lovely in the way you love me! Or is it the...

In this episode, I acknowledge the dark spectre of trump back in power & the psychological, emotional & spiritual implications of this momentous event. The pod is built around ‘Still I rise’ from the amazing Maya Angelou. I also intersperse this with snippets from M.Scott Pecks ‘People of the lie..’ where I take a look at both individual & group evil...remembering always that even a ti...

So what does happen now? Given that it is always now, what happens is that we continue to embrace the present moment with new hope, curiosity & love...that we immerse ourselves in the dynamic cycle of life..

What is time? I mean, what exactly is time? What does it mean? Why does it dominate our every waking moment? & even our sleep time!! We take a close look at natural time (Circadian rhythms) clock time (organisation etc) & what we call ‘psychological time’ this is where time/psyche merge & our suffering/redemption begins..take a breath, sit back, relax & enjoy an exploration of this...

What's all of this talk about Present moment living, The here & now & keeping it in the day? What does it all really mean? Lets roll our sleeves up & get stuck into this fascinating phenomena. I explore how relevant & essential this is to healing & good mental health. I also re-visit those wonderful cluster b narcs! How they wound us & how we might minimise their toxic effe...

Are you ready to climb aboard the magic bus or train & embrace your life right here, right now? Healing occurs in the present moment, with present moment awareness. Even when we travel back in time to our early or original wounds, this happens in the context of the here and now. The past is gone, we cant go back in that sense, however, if we are anchored in the present, grounded in our bodies...

So let’s continue to plunge into the unknown (or sometimes known) waters of our deep psyche. What attitude is needed? How can we support each other? What are we likely to discover that we don’t already know..? How do we continue to accept, know, soothe & heal these deep wounds, & essentially, change the meaning & negative narratives that cripple our confidence, self esteem & person...

When we use the term ‘healing’ what do we actually mean? How do we know when its really happening, ‘in motion’ so as to speak..what does it feel like? What should we look for? Using the analogy of the physical wound & how that heals offers us some clues..with the human heart/psyche this process may not be as clearcut & straightforward. Either way, there comes a point where we feel we are ‘...
