The latest episode of Straight From The Heart is available to listen to now. In this episode I am joined by my friend Molly Martin, a highly creative and determined Scottish ex-pat now based in Canada.

In this episode, Molly and I cover:

• toxic behaviours in the workplace
• healing from gaslighting
• listing healthy habits
• ...and building healthy organisations

Thank you so much Molly for your time in the recording of this episode, especially as I committed the cardinal sin in online podcasting/interviewing, by not pressing record the first time round! Lesson learned, James.

Please do leave us a comment below, if you have any similar experiences from your own professions and workplaces, or if you have any advice for people struggling with toxic behaviours at work.

Good luck to you, Molly! I am delighted to say that since recording Molly has now found a new opportunity, and I am sure she is going to smash it!

In the third episode of STFH I am joined by Sophia Hassan, a South Asian Glaswegian, who works as a Personal Trainer and trainee Cognitive Behavioural Therapist.

I first came in to contact with Sophia during my first year of practising Ramadan in 2021. Sophia agreed to do an Instagram Live chat with me, all to do with fasting during Ramadan and how this affects physical health and performance.

In this episode, entitled, 'Be the change you want to see', Sophia and I cover:

• barriers to exercise for South Asian women, and Personal Trainers of colour
• modesty vs gym-clothing
• CBT vs PT
• ...and Sophia questions me about my experiences of white-man-Ramadan!

Thank you so much Sophia for sparing me the time to record this episode, and I really hope that we can do this again soon, maybe even on your own podcast!

The second episode of the Straight From The Heart is available to listen to now!

The feedback from the first episode was really, really positive., and I am pretty certain you are all going to enjoy this episode just as much. I won't write up too much of a preview in this summary, because as you listen you will find out who Stephanie is, and why I have chosen to bring her to your attention.

Some of the topics from my chat with Stephanie include:

• Shamanic healing
• Ancestral health
• Bone broth recipes
• ...and making and storing your own tallow for cooking with!

As you will hear during the podcast, Stephanie has also very kindly agreed to provide me with a guide to cooking bone broth and making tallow, so you can look out for that post in the next week or so on my Patreon page. Stephanie and I also spoke for around an hour after the recording, so I'm pretty sure you'll be hearing her voice again soon!

If you are an Instagram user you can follow Stephanie's property investment business @scottishpropertymaven.

Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode, and as always please do leave a like and leave a comment!
