If you pay close attention to the evolution of our culture, you will see repeating patterns, how society at every moment believes itself to be at the pinnacle of advanced technology, and how past ideas hold less intelligence and insight than the current paradigm. Currently we're experiencing a time of questioning of many of society's choices and we would like to bring this podcast to you as an example of how we might better access wisdom and direction for future developments.   As Fiona McLoone walks us through her pHd that explored the documentation of Irish herbal medicine through surveying national school children in conversation with their grandparents, we realised how precious this type of endeavour is.  The archive which our nation holds of our historic folkloric herbal medicine traditions is a global one off.  As such we have a window here to retrieve our legacy as a nation of healers that is unique to Irish culture.  One which, as we discuss, can be a pathway to the future.  Listening to our ancestors

There are many MANY things we all can and need to do to build better resilience.  But most of us do nothing.  The tendency to numb ourselves with TV, alcohol and ice cream (yes, sometimes even us), is what our monkey mind wants us to submit to.  Hiding from the help instead of facing the storm with our sword drawn is the sure fire way to shrink and shrivel into old age full of fear and regret - and who wants that!! Through years of investigation, trial, error, success and failure, we've learnt how to access the vast resource to build ourselves into more resilient beings, and we've both come a loooong way on our path towards emotional, physiological and spiritual resilience as a result.  And then it came up in discussion - what would be our desert island resilience supports to keep us on track when times get tough.  And we thought hmmmm what if you could ONLY do five things.   We've whittled down the supplements, the lifestyle and dietary practices and the non-doing things to do to, bringing you a lightning fa

In this wandering shortcut we explore the unbelievably fascinating world of the honeybee. From the historical and cultural meaning of honey and how much it has meant to human culture over our evolution, to the practicalities of beekeeping, all the way through the absolute magic of the hive society itself, we have had a MILLION chats about honey - but for some reason this was the first time we managed to sit down and record one of them!!! How do you know to spot the difference between good and bad honey? Is manuka honey really worth the crazy prices?? Is bee pollen really good for you? Finn is so giddy about his honey that he produces in his back garden in Drimnagh in Dublin's south city, and you can even pick one up on his shop, The Hopsack's website www.thehopsack.ie if you want to try out what real honey on the comb tastes like.

The personification of quiet determination, this summer Damien Wildes humbly achieved a world first - crossing the Irish Sea from Hollyhead to Greystones on a prone paddleboard using only the power of his hands to paddle the 100+km to take him through the wind and waves. Damien's matter of fact delivery makes this insane endeavour seem almost humdrum, like he just woke up as we all would and grabbed a paddleboard and went to work. But his achievement is anything but ordinary - enduring incredible hardship and discomfort, not to mention the sheer physical effort that is required to keep your body paddling for over 15 hours. He's a role model that is required today - a man that seeks challenge without want of gratification or external reward, the antithesis of our instagram generation. Our only remaining question - what next??

Tanya Fitzpatrick understands something about the body.  Her organisation: Align Somatic Therapy, gives something away in the name.  Somatics is the discipline of embodied, a therapeutic modality that treats the body as a storage vessel for our life's experience.  And as we deep dive on this topic with Tanya, you'll learn just how relevant that is to your health - your energy today, your potential for incurring disease in the future, your longevity and your mental health as a whole.    Advocates of somatic therapy such its most famous child, Gabor Mate, believe the world can heal much of its residual trauma by tapping into nervous system pathways that lead these collected patterns of stress up and out of the body.  Tanya is an expert in this field, and in this post-pandemic world, where studies from prestigious research institutes estimate that PTSD in the general population is running at up to 55%, her message and her method is more relevant than ever.   You can connect with Tanya and learn more about her ne

You've heard of Collagen, of course you have, but have you really heard ABOUT collagen.  Beyond the marketing hype, there lies a macronutrient that the world has just woken up to.  One that just might be the most relevant supplement for our time - you think it's all about beauty, because that's what the world has sold you, but in fact it's the critical compound every SINGLE time your body repairs damage - damage to bone, muscle, cartilage, ligament or tendon.  Supporting both tissue integrity and elasticity, collagen's role as we age grows more and more fundamental to our health.   Nutritionist and collagen fanatic Jo Woodhurst joined us to discuss the science, the sources (yes that's right NONE of them are in vegetables) the potential upside from its consumption, and some of our favourite ways to include collagen in your diet.   Thanks to Ancient & Brave for supporting this podcast, you can pick up a tub of their European grass fed collagen, or their new VEGAN Radiant Collagyn at https://tinyurl.com/yy8b

His work in famine-stricken Darfur gave him the opportunity to save countless lives through community-based nutrition schemes, where he won international awards for the creation of effective delivery systems for the life-saving Plumpy-Nut nutrition bar.

Close your eyes. Imagine a mother. We bet it doesn't contain a sexualised image of a woman. But why not? Our traditional concept of motherhood is one of a selfless nurturing woman, we cleave it apart from the sexual woman who created the child, but why do we do that? Why is sex such a dirty word? Cos sex makes children right? Brianna Mercado is a woman who stands with amazing grace in the midst of all our confusion, giving these multi-dimensional life purposes a single vessel, coherently operating as a mother, a sexual being, and a woman who is beautifully liberated from the strictures of conventional coupling. Join us as we explore her life and gain from her reflections and insights on the inalienable rights of women (and men) to explore who they are to themselves and each other. We think her words have meaning for us all, to better understand who we are at our essence, and how simply complete and integrated we can be if we are brave and courageous enough to explore with a true heart what the world of huma

In a moment where our nation is once again poised to make one leap forward and take two steps back in equality and human rights legislation, we had a very special conversation with a lady whose very DNA is at the core of the issue of children's and parents' rights.   Ranae Von Meding's own journey with fertility clinics and the arcane legislation and policies that surround parenthood for LGBT+ couples have led her to this position as an advocate for the rights and equality of all children. Having had to travel out of the country to conceive a child with her partner via reciprocal IVF, Ranae found herself in the position that many families face - part of a parenting couple, with a child that has only 1 official and legal parent.   Many families across all spectrums face a similar journey with surrogacy, with the mother in these cases not recognised legally as a parent of their own child. Witness the recent coverage of the Assisted Human Reproduction Bill, in which mothers such as host of The Good Glow, Geo

A tiny word, but oh how disallowed it is. For mothers especially, setting boundaries around your time and work and responsibility and duties is more than unsettling, in fact it's so challenging that conversations around a mum's vast remit of expectations are things that usually don't happen thoughout the entirety of a lifetime. A lifetime spent struggling to meet expectations of selfless devotion. But it's time to lift the lid and seek out these darker places and bring them out to meet the sunshine of real life. Can we start to have the conversations that scratch the surface of society's impossibly perfected image of motherhood, to acknowledge the subtle yet profound value in steering away from self-sacrifice, whilst still observing and cherishing the selfless act of mothering? Of true parenthood?  This was a blissful and revealing conversation with a wise and insightful human being - go follow @our_bravehearts and treat yourself to some comforting discomfort and whole dose of mother-loving reality.
