❤️‍🩹Author and therapist KATE KING joins me this week to discuss the question of whether to “Mend or Move On”.

Kate challenges the assumption that family loyalty and social harmony should come at the expense of personal well-being.

Not every connection is worth saving - but how do you know whether your relationship is worth healing, or whether it’s time for an honest goodbye?

We discuss:
⭐️ What differentiates a truly toxic relationship from one that is merely misaligned or has expired beyond its purpose. 

⭐️Why constructing walls—physical, emotional, and/or energetic barriers that keep people out—actually strengthens relationships.

⭐️The critical difference between being needy vs having needs in relationships

⭐️ The importance of staying curious in healthy relationships.

😎Is it possible to decide to be happier, and then to go out there and just make it happen?

Hypnotherapist, author and podcaster @richardnicholls believes that happiness is, at least in part, a skill to be learned.

The more you practise, the easier it becomes. 

In this week's classic reissued episode, we discuss HOW TO BE HAPPIER.

🤺 Conflict is actually one of the most important forms of intimacy in a relationship. 

It provides an uncomfortable but profound opportunity to connect. 

If you can develop the skills to disagree, your relationship will be far deeper and more sustaining.

This week on the podcast, I discuss the art of meaningful conflict with conflict expert, academic and author @bobbordone

🫣 At work and at home, we tend to avoid difficult conversations for as long as we can.

So it’s not surprising that when we are forced to face conflict, it quickly escalates to a fever pitch.

Many of us are also guilty of treating relationship conflict as a winner-takes-all debate, rather than an opportunity for connection and change. 

Conflict expert, academic and author @bobbordone has developed an approach to help: CONFLICT RESILIENCE.

This week on the podcast, we discuss how this mindset can help us sit with and grow from disagreement.

💧One of the reasons everyone seems to feel lost and unsure is that we have become more isolated.

In particular, men are cut off from the wisdom and support of other men, mostly because we find it difficult to open up and be truly vulnerable with each other.

You're invited to join me for a four-day men's retreat this 9-12 April  in the beautiful Brandenburg countryside, just outside Berlin, Germany.

We'll be surrounded by majestic woods and secluded lakes, enjoying the sights and sounds of untouched nature – the perfect environment for introspection and self-discovery.

In my four-day workshop, we will look at the three main transitions for men:

🪷 Boy to man
🪷 Reaching midlife
🪷 Becoming an elder

While women have biology to point the way (first period, motherhood and menopause), men have to earn their manhood.

Traditional communities had initiation rituals to help boys become men, but our western culture offers little – beyond your father buying you your first legal pint of beer.

In our retreat, we will perform the missing ritual, help you feel more comfortable in your own skin, discuss what it means to be a man today and put together a guide for prospering in the next phase of your life.

It often feels like the modern world values and rewards people who remain psychologically suspended in adolescence.

Many people, particularly men, prolong and enjoy their adolescence for decades. 

CONROY HARRIS, the CEO of the charity A Band of Brothers, discovered through his own life experiences that this wasn’t a healthy way to live.

He believes that everyone seeks a meaningful identity and a purpose into which to channel the energies of early adulthood. 

In this week's episode, Andrew and Conroy discuss:

⚡️Rites of passage and mentoring

⚡️How men can support one another to live authentic lives

⚡️Conroy's personal experiences as a young man, including periods of homelessness, and

⚡️How mentoring and service to his community helped him find his way.

🕯️Is too much alcohol, too much work or even too much exercise dimming your life and reducing your energy levels?

This week I discuss how to free yourself from unwanted habits and make the most of 2026, with special guest CECILY MAK. 

Cecily is the author of Undimmed: The Eight Awarenesses for Freedom From Unwanted Habits, as well as an investor and former Silicon Valley exec.

🌅 Do you have a troubling habit (not quite an addiction), that you'd like to be free of?

Many of us indulge in escapist or addictive behaviours that fall short of what society would define as problematic addictions.

According to author CECILY MAK, however, these behaviours can dim the good parts of life along with the bad.

If you want to live life with clarity and purpose, identifying and addressing your “dimmers” can make an excellent starting point. 

In this episode, we discuss:
✨Cecily’s own experience of giving up alcohol.
✨What happens when we avoid difficult feelings.
✨The Eight Awarenesses - a set of principles we can use for inspiration and guidance on the path to embodying a clear life. 
✨Why dimmers are not always a substance: they may also include excessive exercise, disordered eating, or overworking.
