  • Season 8 Ep 1- Emma Simpson "Breaking Waves"
    Jul 3 2025

    Emma Simpson is a wild swimmer and life-long hobbyist writer specialising in narrative non-fiction. Having spent a couple of decades as an air traffic controller and experiencing two life-wrenching events, she rediscovered her passion for storytelling whilst experiencing the transformative effects of cold-water swimming for the first time. Trained in coaching psychology, she combines her years as an observer of human behaviour in high stress environments with her love for listening to people’s tales around the shores of a lake; mug of steaming hot tea in hand.

    Her latest book “Breaking Waves” is an exploration into the primal powers of femininity and water with stories gathered from around the world that demonstrate the power of connection and humanity in an often challenging world.This is a powerful and honest conversation focused on Emma’s motivation to write Breaking Waves, the stories that continue to fuel her and our experiences of grief and how we navigate this in our lives.

  • The Psychology of Guilt
    Apr 30 2025

    Recently I have had a number of conversations with friends and clients about guilt - and specifically the guilt we can feel when we take time for ourselves to do things that we love or need. Guilt is a complex interaction between the standards we set for ourselves (or are set by others…) and our assessment of how our behaviour meets those standards. So telling ourselves that we “shouldn’t” feel guilty rarely does anything to temper it! I’ve recorded this video and pod episode to delve a bit deeper into guilt - exploring the causes, when it is helpful and less so and ultimately what we can do about it when it is counterproductive to what we need. I hope you find it helpful - please do let me know what you think!

    The Big Swim is a community driven annual event to celebrate International Women’s Day (8th March). The aim is to foster inclusivity, encourage environmental responsibility and spark collective action in support of women’s causes and campaigns. The event encompasses two locations (Poole and Brighton, UK) and participation has increased from 250 swimmers in 2023 to 1000 swimmers registered to take part on Saturday 8th March 2025.

    This conversation is with the Big Swim founder, Nicky Chisholm and highlights her motivation for setting up the event, how to get involved as well as a wider conversation on the importance of stepping outside our comfort zones to support out wellbeing.
