In this moment, world-leading men’s mental health coach and psychiatrist, Dr K discusses the ways people try and fail to put trauma behind them as well as the REAL way to overcome it. Most people who have a history of trauma will try and overcompensate in the way they build their future lives. For instance, people can try to overcome the trauma of bullying by becoming invisible or becoming successful to overcoming past shame. However, no matter what people do to adapt to the historic trauma, it still remains in the mind. This can be seen in peoples responses to events that trigger memories of their past trauma. Instead of this overcompensation, Dr K says that you need to dismantle your worldview by slowing down the mind and paying attention to your thoughts and feelings. He believes that this awareness is a superpower that everyone is ignoring, as the more aware you are in the present moment, the more your problems fade away.

STEVEN’S DIARY IS BACK! It’s been a long time, since I’ve done this. In this episode I talk about heartbreak, grief, business challenges, relationship struggles, advice from Sir David Brailsford and protecting my mental health - all of it is unfiltered.  When I first started The Diary Of A CEO, the central idea of the show, was to read my personal diary every week – I believed that It might be interesting to get to see inside the very personal diary of someone that was running a business with hundreds of team members, at 25ish years old, while contending with all of life’s problems, relationships, mental health challenges, mistakes, business issues, family problems, and more. So late on Sunday night once in a while, I would pull up a microphone in my old apartment, and I would read through my diary for 45 minutes or an hour. The Diary Of A CEO took on a life of it’s own, I went from reading my diary, to interviewing other people about their diaries, to speaking to experts about all the problems that I cared about. But every single week, someone will come up to me and tell me they found value in those early episodes, and they’ll ask me if I would ever share my diary again… So this weekend, I finally decided to give it go. This episode is my diary. The original, Diary Of A CEO.  Follow me: https://g2ul0.app.link/gnGqL4IsKKb  🚀 The 1% Diary is live - and it won’t be around for long, so act fast! https://bit.ly/1-Diary-Megaphone-ad-reads Watch the Guest episodes on Youtube - https://g2ul0.app.link/DOACEpisodes  Four tracks composed by: https://www.instagram.com/eejebee/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Humans spend a third of their lives sleeping, however science still understands very little about it. Guy says that sleep is of fundamental importance to humans otherwise evolution would have removed it. Despite its importance, Guy thinks that people underestimate the power of sleep. He’s says that too often people make lifestyle choices that ensure they will have the worst possible sleep, which can then impact everything from their immune system, cardiovascular system, and mental health.

In this moment, world-renowned fertility expert Dr Natalie Crawford discusses how to improve your chances of conceiving. According to Dr Natalie, timing is a key factor in achieving pregnancy, and she explains that the optimal window for conceiving happens around the ovulation phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Dr Natalie also addresses common misconceptions about fertility, including the idea that engaging in sex less frequently helps to preserve sperm. Instead, she explains that regular sex actually increases the likelihood of conception by ensuring access to healthy sperm. For those who are unable to rely on timing and frequency alone, Dr Natalie recommends alternatives such as intrauterine insemination. She also encourages women to gain a better understanding of their menstrual cycles, not only to support conception but also as an indicator of their overall health.
