    Send us a Text Message.

    In this teensy-sode, Gwen & Kate talk about a family stranded at sea (drinking turtle's blood?!), addiction to drama + being in fight or flight, why boring relationships are the best, why it's important to find alternative sources of dopamine, and Jimmy Carr's unlikely pearl of wisdom re: life dysmorphia. Plus listeners' feedback and ways they make themselves feed good.

  • Ep.56 - Ice Baths
    Jun 12 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Join us as we learn about the benefits of cold water therapy combined with breathwork, with Jen Bailey-Hobbs at the beautiful Seedlings Retreats in West Wales.

    Jen expertly guides Gwen and Kate through their first ice bath experience. And it just so happens that they had their mics switched on… so brace yourself for splashes, a lot of huffing and puffing, and the occasional squeal. Jen then sets listeners a challenge that they can do in the comfort (or not!) of their own homes.

    Jen is an international breathwork instructor, cold water therapist, restorative yin yoga teacher and reiki master.

    Find out more about Jen and Seedlings Retreats and Holidays here: www.seedlingsretreatsandholidays.com/

    Check out Jen's instagram for more content: www.instagram.com/breathe.2.bee/

    A huge THANK YOU to Jen and the team at Seedlings Retreats for looking after us so wonderfully. We would highly recommend you go and experience it for yourselves!

    We talk to psychologist and award winning BBC broadcaster Claudia Hammond about the importance of rest. Claudia shares with us why it's so important to our health that we regularly have guilt free rest, what's happening in our brains when we rest... and when we don't. And why we all need to take it more seriously.

    Her book The Art of Rest draws on ground-breaking research that Claudia collaborated on –The Rest Test – the largest global survey into rest ever undertaken, across 135 different countries.

    Claudia Hammond is a broadcaster, author and psychology lecturer. She is the presenter of All in the Mind on BBC Radio 4 which covers psychology, neuroscience & mental health. Plus, the weekly global health show Health Check on BBC World Service. She is Visiting Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Sussex. She also writes a regular column on medical myths for BBC Future.
