DEATH & BREATH - What does this mean to you? What are we talking about? Why are we talking about it?

What? We talk about all things life & death, experiences, what we are grateful for, feeling present & the effect of breathing on the mind and body.

Why? To understand the meaning of life a little better, who we are, why we are here and the effects of the modern world we live in and the impact it has on us. Let's do some breathing!

We are here to talk - for you to listen, relate and help express your true emotions on all of life's struggles and how we can stay together and get through them together!

For anyone that doesn’t know, Ollie’s best friend, Ali Turpie had a stroke on the 10th December that left Ali without any words.

Not even his own name.

And now, we’re left speechless because Ali - in under 6 months - has defied science and every doctors prediction in his recovery.

Ali has learned to speak again. Despite being told it was going to be nearly impossible for him to speak again.

He and his loved ones have been through some of the darkest dog days they’ll have to face but it’s Ali’s spirit, belief in himself and view on the world that’s got him to the point that we’re talking on a podcast together.

And we think there’s a lot for all of us to learn from because of that.

We hope you ENJOY this one. Its powerful, special and deep...

LETS TALK ABOUT MASCULINITY!

Who? Ollie, Jack & Josh.

What? The definition of masculinity has moved on since the early 2000’s. With the rise of male suicide and cases like Sarah Everard, the spotlight shines brightly on masculinity as a subject.

Why? Who and how should men show up to be? What’s unacceptable? How do we want our sons to behave? What can we do to lead by example?

AND WE ARE BACK!

Ladies & Gentleman, its been a long time coming - 8 months to be precise, but more than ever we are ready to bring you all things relating to life, its struggles and how to get through them together. Of course, discussed in true Dog Days fashion.

Ian McKenzie is currently taking a hiatus from the show and focussing his efforts on 'FC Not Alone', while Junior Eldstål is playing football professionally again in Thailand. In the meantime we have a new Co-Host for this 4 part series. His name is Jack Simpson. We cannot wait to deliver you his contributions and life experiences to the show.

In this episode we are joined by an old member of The Dog Days - Josh Connolly. We talk about all things Internal Family Systems. Delving into the mind of one another to work out why we act in the ways we do towards others because of our sub-personalities.

Internal Family Systems combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is made up of relatively discrete sub-personalities, each with its own unique viewpoint and qualities.

We hope you ENJOY!

Stay tuned for next weeks episode on Addiction!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode Ollie and Ian sit down with The Dog Days co-founder and former co-host Junior Eldstål as we discuss Junior's struggles with his mental health.

We're very proud of how open Junior is about his struggles since returning to England.

There are references to suicide in this episode and there is strong language used throughout.

Hope this helps someone else out there.
