Power Within With The Eastwoods podcast

28:18

Today we’re flipping affirmations on their head - and getting real about the ones that don’t make it to your Instagram feed. You’ve heard the usual: “You’re good enough”, “You’ve got this” - but what happens when that positivity feels more like pressure than power? What if you don’t believe any of it? In this episode, we talk honestly (and with a lot of laughs) about the power of “disappointing affirmations” and the brutally honest truths that sometimes hit harder than the sweet stuff. We share stories from my clients, my team, and even my own life about the inner voice that doesn't always say what we want… but might just be what we need to hear. We’re pulling affirmations out of the woo-woo zone and planting them firmly in the reality of everyday life. Honest, raw, funny, and (dare we say) affirming in its own way.

The Hidden Side of OCD No One Talks About | Ep 27 29:27

5 weeks ago29:27

29:27

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic we don’t talk about enough: OCD. Not just the tidy house, lined-up labels kind of OCD, but the relentless rituals, the intrusive thoughts, and the anxiety loops that can steal your joy, your presence, and your peace. We unpack how obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up in real life (not just the clinical definition), what therapy actually helps, and the surprising power of hypnotherapy. We share stories from real clients, including one man whose obsession with work was robbing him of time with his kids, until one subconscious shift changed everything. You’ll also hear our honest take on CBT, what it’s good for, where it falls short, and why surface-level therapy might be the reason some people stay stuck. If you’ve ever felt like your thoughts are in control instead of you, or you’ve caught yourself in a “harmless” routine that doesn’t feel so harmless anymore, this episode is for you.

In this episode we dive into the ripple effects of everyday choices through the lens of the Butterfly Effect. From missed buses to resigned jobs, £5 orange juices to awkward slips on gravel, we break down how life’s biggest shifts often start with the smallest moves.

April gets real about growing up with undiagnosed ADHD, the impulsive choices that landed her in prison, and how boxing became her life-saving outlet.

She shares what it's really like to self-medicate just to slow her mind down, the pros and cons of finally going private for a diagnosis, and whether ADHD meds are next. Plus, we talk about the emotional highs, the hyperfocus, and why boxing isn’t just a sport for April... it’s therapy.

What If Your Kid Is the Bully? | Ep 22 34:50

Bullying isn’t just a school playground problem - it follows people into adulthood, workplaces, relationships, and even our own inner dialogue. In this raw episode of Power Within , we open up about our own experiences of being bullied, reflecting on how it shaped us, toughened us, and still impacts how we move through the world today. We also explore a powerful twist most parents overlook: What if your child is the one doing the bullying? From playground punch-ups to verbal attacks in the workplace, we talk about how to tell the difference between banter and bullying, and how silence, sarcasm, or sharp one-liners can sometimes hold more power than retaliation. You'll also hear us share a heart-breaking story from a client whose bullying trauma followed her into adulthood holding the belief that being “the best” will finally make it stop. This conversation might be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. We talk parenting, social media, adult confrontation, gender and sexuality discrimination, and the importance of creating safe spaces - at home, at work, and in our own heads. For anyone who’s been bullied, has a child navigating school, or is ready to rewrite their role in someone else's story, take a listen to this episode.

Why You Feel Like Crap (Even When Nothing’s Wrong) | Ep 21 31:09

Ever wonder why you feel low even when life should feel fine? In this episode of Power Within, we’re unpacking the science and soul behind what really makes us feel good - your happy hormones. We break down the “dream team” of mood and motivation: oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. These little chemicals are responsible for how connected, motivated, and balanced you feel - and when they’re off? So is everything else. From comfort eating to chasing a version of your younger self in the mirror, we talk honestly about what triggers our own low moods and how we (and our clients) find our way back. Whether it’s a steam room, a sunny day, finishing a task, or laughing your head off, this chat is packed with down-to-earth strategies to reset your mood without needing a prescription. We also get real about self-reflection, emotional eating, relationship dynamics, and why it's OK to want space - plus how little acts of kindness can chemically shift your entire day. This one’s a reminder that feeling good doesn’t come from a perfect weight or a perfect plan — it comes from understanding what you need to feel whole again.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in your own way? This episode of Power Within dives deep into the real talk around self-sabotage - what it looks like, where it hides in your everyday choices, and why it’s often rooted in fear, self-worth, and old stories. We open up about how self-sabotage has shown up for us, our clients, and people we love - from procrastinating on dreams to chasing validation, overloading invisible to-do lists, and shrinking ourselves in the name of staying safe. Whether it's putting off going back to school, stepping away from an opportunity out of fear, or constantly telling yourself you're not good enough, we’ve been there. And we’re unpacking it all. This is your nudge to recognise those invisible roadblocks and challenge the internal voice that’s holding you back. Because success isn't just about pushing harder - sometimes it’s about finally giving yourself permission to rest, trust, and take up space.

This week on Power Within , we dive deep into the real differences between hypnotherapy and talking therapy - not to pit them against each other, but to show you how they can work together to create real change. As both therapists and hypnotherapists, qw share what actually happens in a hypnotherapy session, and why some clients experience breakthroughs in just two sessions - even when therapy alone wasn’t moving the needle. We dive into: When talking therapy works best — and when hypnotherapy might work faster Why hypnotherapy isn’t recognised by the NHS (yet) How we’ve helped people with flying fears, OCD, and sugar addiction - sometimes in just 2 sessions Why hypnotherapy isn’t about clucking like a chicken — but deep subconscious change The language traps that keep people stuck (and how we flip them) Real stories about clients who shifted deep-seated beliefs in days, not months What happens when we use parts therapy to speak to the conflicting voices in your head We’re not anti-therapy - we love it. But if you’re feeling stuck, frustrated, or just curious about other options, this episode will open your eyes to what’s really possible.

Grief isn’t one-size-fits-all. In this raw and vulnerable episode, we open up about the complex, messy reality of loss — not just death, but the grief of relationships, routines, jobs, and even parts of ourselves we didn’t realise we were mourning. From personal stories to therapeutic insights, we explore the grief cycle (yes, there’s more than one!), the unexpected ways it shows up, and why it's okay if your grief doesn’t look like anyone else’s. Whether you've experienced loss recently or you're still carrying it years later, this episode is a reminder that your feelings are valid - no matter what or who you've lost. We talk about: Why grief isn’t always about death How some losses cut deeper than others — and why that’s okay The 5 stages of grief (and why you don’t have to follow them in order) The “tennis ball” grief theory that explains what it’s like to carry pain over time How grief can show up as anger, numbness, control, or even home DIY Why “time heals” isn’t always true (and what does help instead) The power of remembering with less pain, not no pain You’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode, we’re having an honest conversation about red flags - not the fluffy social media kind, but the real ones that mess with your self-worth, isolate you from your people, and keep you stuck in relationships you know deep down aren’t good for you. We talk about why so many of us keep choosing red flags over real love, even when we say we want different. We also share stories from our therapy work (with full permission), including what it looks like when someone’s self-esteem is so low, they’ll give up everything just to feel loved. It’s a big one. Here’s what we dive into: Why red flags can feel like chemistry when you’re stuck in survival mode The fixer pattern: when you think love means changing someone How dating apps are messing with self-esteem (and why we’d never have met if we relied on swiping) The emotional cost of chasing attention over alignment Why “green flags” can feel boring — and how to rewire that What we’ve learned about self-worth, love, and choosing better The views expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of any organisation or entity associated with the show.

Setting boundaries sounds simple on paper... but when you’re actually face-to-face with people pushing them? Whole different story. And here's the kicker: even when you hold the line, it can feel awful . Cue the guilt, the second-guessing, and the little voice wondering... Was I too harsh? Am I being selfish?

It’s easy to spot when other people struggle with boundaries... but what happens when it’s you who needs to stand your ground and deal with the emotional fallout? We’ll talk about: Why setting a boundary is only half the battle What it really means when people start testing your limits How to recognise when you’re tempted to bend your own rules (and why it matters) Why holding your boundaries often triggers guilt (and why that's a sign of growth, not failure) The mindset shift that makes holding your boundaries easier — and lighter on your heart If you’ve ever found yourself second-guessing, backtracking, people-pleasing, or feeling bad after setting a boundary, you're not doing it wrong. You're just doing the hard part! Listen in to find out how you can get over the feeling and start protecting your energy with some healthy boundaries!

Ever found yourself nagging your partner like they're your child? Or maybe you’ve been on the receiving end - feeling like a teenager being told off? In this episode of The Power Within Podcast , we’re diving into Transactional Analysis and how the three ego states, Parent, Adult, and Child, show up in our relationships (yes, even in the healthy ones). We chat about: 🔹 How easy it is to slip into “parenting” mode without realising 🔹 When a tone of voice can trigger a child-like reaction before anything’s even said 🔹 Why shouting, bossing, or controlling will never get the best out of someone 🔹 How our energy shifts depending on the people and environments around us 🔹 The difference in how we both show up—Amy in serious mode, Vicky in playful mode 🔹 Why hugging it out sometimes works better than “talking it through” Communication builds relationships - but only when it’s done from a place of awareness and connection. So if you’ve ever caught yourself parenting your partner , or feeling like you’re being parented , this episode is a must-listen. (Oh - and we almost adopted a cat this week!)

We’re diving into how gratitude shows up in your friendships, your time, and your energy… and why it might be time to reassess who’s getting the best of you. Today, we're chatting about: Why your friendship circle gets smaller as you get wiser Seeing through the BS and asking yourself, “Would this person really pick me up if I was on the floor?” You don’t have to cut people off - but you can keep them at bay Your priority ladder: where are you placing people, and are they doing the same for you? The truth that time is your most valuable asset (so spend it on the people who truly see and support you!) This is your reminder that being grateful doesn’t mean tolerating everyone - it means recognising what (and who) truly adds value to your life. 💛 The views expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of any organisation or entity associated with the show.

22 weeks ago30:21

When people hear “hypnotherapy,” they either picture a swinging pocket watch or worry they’ll lose control of their mind. But here’s the truth... Hypnotherapy isn’t mind control, and you’re always in charge! For many, it’s a powerful alternative to medication, helping with fears, phobias, trauma, and even addiction. But not enough people take it seriously - including the NHS. In this episode, we’re diving into: 🌀 How hypnotherapy actually works (spoiler: you won’t wake up clucking like a chicken) 🌀 Why addiction - whether it’s sugar or heroin - comes from the same place: trauma 🌀 The surprising ways hypnotherapy can help with fear and phobias 🌀 Why some hypnotherapy techniques feel outdated - and what actually works today 🌀 The fun side of hypnosis (because it’s not all deep, dark therapy!) 🌀 And why the NHS needs to start taking hypnotherapy seriously If you’ve ever been curious about what hypnotherapy can do for you, this episode is definitely one to check out.

Trigger Warning: Suicide Addiction’s never just about the substance - it runs deeper. For Ian, it started long before the drugs, and lead to two years spent in prison. But now, he's been in recovery for 25 years, actively working to tackle his addiciton - and it's not been without its bumps in the road. And he's here to share his story and journey with the world, even if it helps just one person. In this episode, we discuss with Ian: 🔹 How childhood trauma can lead to addiction 🔹 Why quitting isn’t just a flick of a switch 🔹 The lack of mental health support - especially for men 🔹 The dark reality of suicidal struggles and helping others through it 🔹 And why "it’s nice to be nice" really does matter Most importantly? Ian’s story is proof that the real work is an inside job - and that paying it forward can change lives.

If you’re new to manifestation or looking for that extra push, this episode is definitely one to catch.

28 weeks ago24:03

24:03

Anxiety isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience... We both struggle with it, but in completely different ways! Whether it’s social anxiety, the fear of public speaking, or that overwhelming spiral of overthinking, we know how exhausting it can be. (And yes - even as therapists and hypnotherapists, we can struggle with anxiety too!) In this episode, we’re opening up about how anxiety has shown up in our lives, the ways it’s held us back, and the moments we’ve had to push through - like Vicky staying in a job where she was the only woman and people were literally betting on her to quit. (Spoiler: she didn’t!) We’ll be sharing practical the ways we reduce our anxiety, how the mind and body feed off each other, and why overthinking turns small worries into massive problems. Quick heads-up - if you’ve ever felt like your brain won’t switch off or like you’re stuck in a situation that’s draining you, you’re not alone. We’ve been there, and in this episode, we’re talking about what’s actually helped us get through it. And don't forget, you can DM us and join in the conversation! 💬 Cheers guys x The views expressed in this podcast are solely those of the host and guests and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of any organisation or entity associated with the show.
