Wisdom to last a lifetime for birth and beyond with Emma Cannon

Wisdom to last a lifetime for birth and beyond with Emma Cannon
Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.Follow Poppy: @poppyjamieBuy Poppy's book: https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3pA big thank you to Kama Ayurveda.

How to flirt with the universe with Deike Begg

How to flirt with the universe with Deike Begg
This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

It's a path that diverges from conventional ideas of success, offering a refreshing perspective.Emma doesn't claim to have all the answers; she's not a guru.

The future of fertility and how it affects us all with Professor R. John Aitken

The future of fertility and how it affects us all with Professor R. John Aitken
Today I am joined by Professor John Aitken, who is a global leader in reproductive biology with over four decades of dedicated work. John has made groundbreaking discoveries that have revolutionised our understanding of male infertility and paved the way for innovative treatments. He's the author of The Infertility Trap that looks at the long term consequences of declining fertility globally. I read his book earlier this year and was shocked as I turned the pages. Never did I dream that birth rates dropping would be a serious problem, as I just assumed we were overpopulated as it was. John's research opened my eyes to a very real challenge we face, which is how are declining fertility and lifestyle choices will affect us all long term. And why? A very important conversation around this has to happen sooner rather than later if we want to change the direction.This interview with John was possibly one of the most eye opening chats I've ever had because it speaks to the future in a very personal way, but also macro way. I think it reminds us that we truly are a species that deeply relies on each other. We are so interconnected and the subject of fertility and reproduction does feel very spiritual in many ways and also links in with the psychological links in with our behavior. It's just a very human topic. So I hope you are enjoying this content that feels slightly different from the normal programming on the Unwind podcast. But I wanted to open up to share some of my own personal curiosity at the moment, and I hope you're following the journey and enjoying it too.Find John's book: https://amzn.eu/d/3ajcnfVFind Poppy:Instagram: @poppyjamieBook: https://amzn.eu/d/i3E7M0b Hosted on Acast.

Why influence and behaviour is contagious with Jon Levy
On this week's podcast, I'm interviewing Jon Levy, who is a behavioural scientist and New York Times best selling author known for his work in trust, human connection, belonging and influence. Jon specialises in applying the latest research on how humans behave and make decisions to transform the ways companies approach building brands, culture and overall strategy. But more than a decade ago, Jon founded the Influencers Dinner, a secret dining experience that brought together industry leaders and actually encouraged them to make their own DNA so they would arrive, be given the food and they'd all have to work together to actually make the experience. It has had a phenomenal impact. For the last two years, Jon has hosted thousands of the most brilliant brains in the world and brought them together to talk about how they can solve world problems. John's second book, You're Invited: The Art and Science of Connection, Trust and Belonging was released in 2021, and it shared his secrets and observations of all the things that he's learned. Unsurprisingly, it became an instant New York Times best seller. I met Jon recently in Sweden at a work conference and became fascinated by him, his work and just a general perspective on the world and I'm thrilled he's joined me on the podcast today.

The healing power of grounding with Clint Ober

The healing power of grounding with Clint Ober
On today's Unwind, I'm speaking to an incredible man who has pioneered the grounding movement. This is the movement that has proven all humans benefit when connected to the earth, whether that be standing on the ground without shoes, swimming in a sea or river, or actually using grounding tools inside the home. Our biology actually changes when this happens.Today I'm speaking to the godfather of this area and the founder of the earthing company, Clint Ober, who began his career in the cable television industry in the seventies. In an age before the Internet, Clint helped pioneer the first ever cable modem and was deeply engaged with how electrics had to be wired to the earth to avoid interference. But in 1993, his health crumbled. Clint was told he would pass away soon until he was offered a miraculous surgery that was fortunately successful. Afterwards, he sold his life, bought a van and went traveling. He began to notice that nearly everybody was disconnected from the earth, including him, but wondered what the consequence was of disconnecting ourselves this much from the earth. He began to question whether this was a reason for the rise in inflammatory diseases. After years of observing the effect of earthing on people and 22 peer reviewed research studies looking into this concept, he has proven that almost everything going on in the body is different when you're grounded.Find Clint Ober:Website: https://www.earthing.com/pages/about-clint-oberEarthing Explained: https://www.earthing.com/pages/what-is-earthingPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!

On the podcast this week, I'm speaking to Caggie Dunlop. She's the podcaster and author of Saturn Returns. Caggie has been a television personality for the past decade, and in the last few years she has turned her attention to bringing community and conversation to spiritual awakening and astrology. Caggie's debut book, Saturn Return, talks about the journey we all go through at different times of our life when things feel like they are falling apart or when life feels very tumultuous. Using astrology inspired tools and teachings, Caggie looks at how we can understand these moments with different perspectives one that understands that growth is often uncomfortable but absolutely necessary If we want to expand and enjoy our life in deeper and more fulfilling ways. I've known Caggie since I was 16 and it's been fascinating and awe inspiring to see her evolution and follow her curiosity into new areas. Her work feels so reassuring because it's true - we all go through these really difficult moments and it can feel like we're the only ones experiencing it. But what Caggie does is open up the conversation and remind us that life doesn't happen without these painful moments. But that without painful experiences, we can't have growth. So I hope you find this work and conversation just as reassuring as I do!Find Caggie:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/caggiesworld/?hl=enPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3blV16JGdvaT0tT2cCX0xoBook: https://amzn.eu/d/bHTxKqkPlease follow @poppyjamie and let me know your thoughts about the episode!
