Unmuzzled at 67

Things kept getting more, and more "modern" in the 70s. Food became microwavable, and fashion absolutely boomed! Tommy speaks about the different fashion choices he's made over the years. And Stewart tells a story about how someone tried to sell him a microwave in a pub, that the seller said was a "mini TV"... Settle in, put the kettle on, and listen to our memories of the...

The infamous 1970s! Where certain cultural revolutions were taking place. Christine, Stewart and Tommy talk about Glasgow's infamous Barras. The east end Barrowland market, and its world famous Barrowland Ballroom! Where many of the world's most talented and star-studded came to play. They also talk shopping! When the days of Sauchiehall street being the upmarket, bougie district for shopp...

Christine and Stewart are joined by a long-time family friend Tommy! As they discuss Glasgow culture... from gangs that everyone was terrified of. Giving the city the name "No Mean City", to the likes of Jimmi Hendrix and the Beatles playing at world-famous music venues around Glasgow. So pop the kettle on, settle in, and have a chat with us!

Continuing on from last week, where we discussed World War Two, we will be building off of that this week! Marching forward into the late 1940s through to the 50s. Let's talk Holidays, Housing, and Culture! Where did Glaswegians holiday too, what was the housing and culture like at the time also! So... get the kettle on, sit back, relax! And indulge in Glaswegian nostalgia. YouTube: https://ww...

The brand new podcasts series. Unmuzzled Conversations. The primary focus of this series is to cover, and converse Glasgow's history. From Family tales and experiences, to the wider Glasgow culture at the time. We're starting post-world-war-two for this episode. The work-ethic. The gossip culture. The differences in men and woman! All of it. So get the kettle on, grab some biscuits, and co...

Trying to record a meditation practice for meditation was challenging. I'm not a meditation teacher! However, the general practices, principles and benefits of meditation usually bring you to a conclusion of sounder, deeper and better sleep! But it's important to continue this practice daily. Ten minutes set aside for you. Remember that this isn't going to be perfect to begin with. It...

A new meditation series! A break away from my hard-hitting life story, and into the hopefully tranquil world of meditation. I've spoken at length on meditation, to the point where you're maybe sick of me rattling on about it! But it's SO IMPORTANT! Everything I have learned, and experienced throughout my practice of meditation has been the catalyst required to build and maintain a calm...

Well. That is a wrap, folks. A wrap on the initial Unmuzzled at 67 project! My story has been told, my soul has been bared. And my podcasting therapy is now over. I've shared with you all, some of the most intimate details of my life. Some stories that not another living soul had heard. Details that I no longer have any emotional attachment to, and some that I still find deeply embarrassing an...

Well, here it is! Nearing the end of the Unmuzzled at 67 series. I'm not ready to leave the building! But I'm not finished yet. There's one more episode of this season in the pipeline. And I'll be starting two new series after this. Very exciting! This episode is a full recap of everything we've spoken about. The best, hard-hitting moments of my life. Why I lived with so much b...

ADHD is a term thrown around a lot as of late. With more being known about the issue, I thought it useful to discuss the problems I've had with my symptoms for my entire life. I’ve had a tough battle with ADHD. Never paying too much attention to it. Until I done some research! And realised that I suffered many of the same symptoms. I’ve never been diagnosed. But now, I don’t think a diagnosis...

A deep yet brief dive into the idea and philosophy of the inner child. Your needs, triggers, and past experiences that your inner child went through. A lot of these things, may they be unmet needs, transform into trauma points in your future. They make you believe certain things about yourself. Develop negative affirmations. A broken inner child can lead to a self-confidence, and self-love rating...

Therapy is the conventional way of helping get a grip of yourself. But it's fucking expensive! I did have a brief fling with therapy. And it helped me uncover, and understand the initial traumas I faced when I was younger, but with the help of my own research and specific books, I turned away from therapy. It's pricey and isn't available to everyone. A psychiatrist has a waiting list t...

At a slightly different pace in this episode, we will cover some books that were pivotal to my reinvention. To calm me down. To understand myself. I say "some" because this episode could have been hours and hours long if we were to cover every influential book I've read during this period of my life. But here's the list of the books we cover in this week's episode. I implore...

Some key take aways on how self confidence allows you to act in the world. We build off of my tips of self awareness, meditation, and creating a ruthless moral inventory of yourself. These things aren't easy, but they are absolutely crucial in turning your life around. Live a life you deserve, become unmuzzled.

So, being more self-aware, understanding your trigger points. Analysing your past behaviours, and understanding why you acted out, got angry, withdrew inward, and so on. All great. All useful, and important. And very often the first step in becoming a rehabilitated bam. But how do we put these things into practice? Well, it's totally personal. But for me, with the help of meditation. I can sta...

So! Here we are! The final, and most important season of Unmuzzled at 67. The unravelling. I've told you all about my life, my past and present experiences. The trauma I've lived through, and the dangerous situations I've scraped out of by the skin of my teeth. But all of that, all of these experiences have brought me to where I am now. Telling, and explaining how I unlearned the bad h...

Well, here we are! The end of another season... one to go. I look back up my experiences this time around recording and writing the second season of the podcast. This one had a bit of everything. Bad behaviour, becoming a mother, indecent proposals, decent proposals, and a fucking shootout. Who thought it would turn out like this, eh? Overall, the second season was a much smoother experience for m...

Being stuck in a job you hate is awful. But being stuck in a job you hate... but are incredibly specialised and revered in your field. Well that's just a cruel joke eh. In this episode I talk about my mental health, and the decline of this while working in a field, and job that I just did not enjoy or like. Emotionally blunting myself to the point where I no longer had an inner dialouge, and h...

Finding your tribe in life is one of lifes most fulfilling gifts. They're not just friends, but a like minded group of individuals that you would trust with your life. You share the same views on life, the same hobbies. But aren't afraid to tell eachother whats really on your mind. Conflict can be handled well and maturely. Overall, friends that uplift you and give great life advice. Compa...

This episode is slightly different, known as the "double dunt". We're splitting into two shorter experiences and lessons that I've experienced in life. One pertaining to debt and money, and the other, my parents and the inevitability of growing old. I was so embarrassed about my debts, and poor handling of money, that I was considering leaving this section out of the podcast all...

Well, we continue on the gangster train. And yes, it is a bumpy ride. What we discuss in this episode begins with a mention of a very dear, and important friend in my life. She helped me move jobs, gave me a safe space in London. We were like sisters... until the day she passed. But the meat and bones of this episode are further discussing my embroilment with Glaswegian gangsters. We're going...

Well, what do you know. Another strange twist in the tale so far... Glasgow Gangsters. This episode revolves around the hotel I began working in once I came back up to Glasgow, and the funny tales of comical guests, and a group of lads we called "The Maryhill Mob". They weren't good news however, and the partner of a friend told me to run in the opposite direction. Oh dear! Meanwhile...

Well, things are changing. I'm changing. The miracle of something I'd never thought would happen, something that I thought was biologically impossible. But dearie me could it have come at a worse time. Anyway... miracles are one thing... but divine intervention. That's a completely different kettle of fish. How's about we dive into both these stories on this weeks episode of Unmuzz...

Well here we are! Season 2! We survived season 1, and what a journey it's been so far. But don't worry, per the episode title, the madness does indeed continue. Sober in Glasgow, another "new start" I suppose. However, all of a sudden I've got morning sickness, and my mums cutting up her wedding dress and chucking it at me... oh dear. Not much has changed after all. Embark wi...
