Sharon Faye and her team have been busy recording a series of episodes ready for you and Episode 2 of the podcast series is now available here.

Episode 2 – Feeling -v- Avoiding (featuring a guest interview) – a candid interview between Sharon and Alison, a successful physiotherapy business owner.

Alison talks through her own encounters growing up, the experience of tragedy in her family, and the events of her adult life that brought Alison a different way of living day-to-day. She talks through avoiding and suppressing feelings and how she came to her turning point, excerpt from the interview below:

“So I heard you say in the beginning there that avoiding is not wrong. That’s very soothing to hear. Cause I was definitely someone who, when I first started to feel, I would just make myself so wrong if I got it wrong.”

Episode 3 launches on Friday, 19 September 2025, featuring “The myth of negative emotion”.
