It’s a season of release — a time to let go and create space for what’s yet to come. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz Scott reflects on the falling autumn leaves, seeing in them a powerful metaphor for spiritual growth.

It’s time to redirect your focus from what’s out of reach to what’s within your power. In today’s 5 Minutes in Nature, Liz reflects on the importance of appreciating what she is able to do.

What does it feel like to move from a place of invisibility into one of visibility? So often, women in their fifties and sixties are expected to retreat quietly into the background, fading into the shadows rather than stepping forward with the wisdom and strength they carry.  But what if the opposite were true? Today, Liz reflects on the immense value that is lost when older women are overlooked, their voices unheard and their contributions unrecognised. She invites us to consider how much richer the world could be if we truly honoured and embraced the experience, perspective, and power that women in this stage of life have to offer. ******** If you've enjoyed this taster then join me, Liz Scott, for this short reflection.

Are you scared that your youngster may be taking drugs? What can you do about it? How do you talk to them about it? In this podcast Liz Scott speaks to someone who regularly engages with young people and parents. Marie Arymar gives an overview of how to assess the situation with a young person. During this conversation Liz and Marie discuss: The importance of taking stock - ask yourself 'What is going on with my child?' Consider why the youngster is taking drugs? Is it masking something, is he/she keeping in with the crowd? What boundaries do you have with your child around drugs? Is your child getting mixed messages about what is or isn't acceptable? Is your fear getting in the way of connecting with them? Do you ask questions which causes them to shut down? Be present and aware that your young person, the one you deeply love and care for, is still there. They are not their behaviour. Give yourself time to connect with them in ordinary ways.

If you're waking up to the climate crisis, the disintegration of the natural world and the fragility of our planet... then you probably feel a sense of urgency, insecurity and helplessness. At least that's what I felt when 2 years ago the climate crisis hit me between the eyes. For years it had been a periphery thing - it was something that other people were getting worked up about. Then suddenly the enormity and reality of it landed. In this interview with Kimberley Hare we head towards a heart-based exploration and explore 'What is mine to do?' rather than 'what is going wrong?' During this interview Kimberley refers to 7 questions to ask yourself when you are reflecting on what you're being asked to do. We don't go into detail with these questions in the conversation - but she sent them on following the interview. The questions are as follows. Here are SEVEN POWERFUL QUESTIONS:   RESILIENCE – What is it that we most value and how can we keep that? How can we build and sustain our resilience – both inner an

PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) can often feel like a life-sentence. It manifests after a traumatic experience and you can suffer nightmares, flashbacks, anger, guilt and isolation. Families, partners and friends can also feel the impact of a loved one going through this unpredictable and life-diminishing disorder. But what if PTSD was something that needed understanding rather than curing? What if by understanding the nature of thought, you were able to experience real hope in navigating through life?  What if you were to realise you could trust something much more powerful than these frightening flashback thoughts? Dr Suraj Gogoi, a psychiatrist and Rob Cook, a US Air Force Veteran, join me (Liz Scott) and Stu Newberry to share a hopeful message around PTSD.  In this conversation we explore: - The power of being in the now - Separating the past from the present - The built-in safety of the psychological system - Trusting the energy that keeps you safe - Seeing through the veil of unsettled thought to

Dr Linda Pettit has a way of awakening the flame of love within those she is talking to and this conversation is no exception. Linda has had an extraordinary life, which has seen her as a professor, a dean, a counselling psychologist, an author, coach and speaker.  In this episode Linda shares stories from her life.  We discuss the loss of her first husband in a car accident and the way she experienced her way through grief. She realised that grief was a moment-to-moment experience - it wasn't there 100% of the time. It was during these times of being struck by beauty, whilst in the midst of sadness, that helped her find her way through. We talk about life after death and her sense that consciousness does not end at death.  We explore her Catholic upbringing and her searching for God. When she came across the 3Ps she began to settle and bring together the conflicting Christian messages from her childhood and to see the beauty of God as pure love in motion. Linda looks to the formless energy in life that guide

Dr Amy Johnson has first hand experience of debilitating anxiety and worry for many years. Here's how she describes it: "I experienced severe anxiety, panic attacks, and binge eating/bulimia for several years. I was told by many well-trained, well-intentioned professionals that these issues would likely be with me for life in one form or another. They could become manageable; I could learn to cope—but they weren’t the kind of things people just “got over”. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth today. Several years ago I came across a down-to-earth spiritual understanding of life that changed everything for me. It is the basis of everything I teach and write about. It is the foundation for how I help people end their own unwanted habits and unnecessary worries." The 'down-to-earth' spiritual understanding Amy refers to is the 'Inside-Out' understanding and in this podcast she explains what she means by the life-transformative message that, 'We're all sitting in the middle of perfect mental health

When Dr Jack Pransky heard about the Modello housing project he realised  that he was encountering something unique and extraordinary. Jack is quoted as saying: “In all my years in prevention I have never seen this level of change in people!” At the time (over 20 years ago) Jack was an expert on Community Prevention work and was writing books based on his expertise.  His whole life started to change when  he listened to the women from the Modello community speak at a conference.  Jack realised that he was witnessing something profound. It led him to write Modello: A Story of Hope for the Inner City and Beyond  and it also took him on a life-long journey of exploring the Three Principles.  I wanted to speak to Jack because I'm inspired by the potential of the Inside-Out understanding in transforming communities. I was delighted when Jack agreed to have a conversation with me I knew I had lots to learn and I wasn't disappointed. During our time together Jack talks about his life, about his work and he also ans

Three years ago I felt an intuitive nudge to go into my local community (Ivybridge)to share the Inside Out Understanding. I had no plan, no contacts and no idea what to do. I just felt a strong  intuitive sense to find a way. It was going to be a 6 month experiment, but the experiment continues to this day. Since 2020 (the start of the experiement) we've started a Social Enterprise, created Wellbeing Listener courses, received Lottery Funding, collaborated with a variety of community groups and businesses, trained up dozens of Wellbeing Listeners and helped to create a group supporting the lonely and isolated ... and I've written a book.  I don't use social media and I have never sat down and created a plan. I've been muddling my way along, listening into intuition, often feeling scared because I don't know what I'm doing.. so I just keep taking the next step and the next step. I know (in my bones) that real change in communities comes from people having an understanding that they are much more than they thin

If you'd like a refreshing take on mental health then you'll be inspired by Drs Rani and Suraj. They are both psychiatrists and they are inspired by an understanding of mental wellbeing that sees beyond labels and medication. In this refreshing conversation we explore questions around: Are people broken? Is wellbeing present even in those with mental health challenges?
