Right Up My Podcast

It's time to turn back time! All the way back to 2021. We kicked off Series 3 with a shot of adrenaline, looking at why adventure is so important to our well-being. And luckily for us, we’re not (only) talking about climbing Everest here, but rather shaking things up, breaking our routines, pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones and expanding what we see as possible for ourselves. We’re joined by explorer and author of the book Adventure Revolution, Belinda Kirk, who has spent the last 20 years researching the powerful impact of bringing a bit more adventure into our lives, what it does to our brains and how it positively impacts us in so many ways.

In this episode, we step into the world of boundaries — what they are, why they matter, and how they can transform our relationships with ourselves and others. We’re joined by the brilliant Ann Weiser Cornell — American author, educator, and worldwide authority on Focusing, the self‑inquiry psychotherapeutic technique developed by Eugene Gendlin — for a conversation that deeply moved us (it even brought Gwen to tears!) If you’ve ever said ‘yes’ when you meant ‘no’, struggled to speak up for your needs, or wondered how boundaries and healing are connected — this episode is for you. We explore: feeltrauma healingAnn has been teaching Focusing all over the world since 1980 and is one of its leading voices. She has written several definitive books and created transformative courses — including 21 Days to Better Boundaries and The Power of Focusing — and developed Inner Relationship Focusing, expanding on Gendlin’s original work.

It's time to delve way back into the archives from our very first season nearly five years ago. Carrying on our outdoor theme, this week we're Earthing. Come on a journey of discovery into the world of Grounding, aka Earthing. It turns out there is a reason why it feels so good to be barefoot, whether that's on the beach or in the grass – something so simple that we humans have been doing forever, although less so in our modern lives. Dr. Gaetan Chevalier PhD, Director of The Earthing Institute, talks us through the research being done on the health benefits associated with regularly spending time barefoot on the ground, including pain and stress relief, improved sleep and reduced inflammation. To find out more about Grounding, head to The Earthing Institute, where you can read more about the research being done and watch The Earthing Movie: https://earthinginstitute.net/ The other film we refer to in this episode is The Grounded: https://grounded.com/the-grounded-movie Gaetan also recommends the following Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/earthinginsiders For all RUMP info in one place: visit our linkt.ree Get a shout-out: Want a mention on the next RUMPette?
