| Breaking the Chronic Fatigue Cycle — with Sharon Wirant | 15 Sep 2023 | 00:46:40 | |

Sharon now works with others, helping them in their recovery journey. She has multiple degrees and coaching certifications: Bachelor’s degrees in Neuroscience and in Biological Sciences, and a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences specialising in Behavioral Science.

| Fatigue, the 21st Century and a new kind of ‘I’ (with Anna Grear) | 13 Feb 2023 | 00:18:55 | |
In this episode, Anna Grear reflects on fatigue in relation to the 21st century's need for a new kind of 'I' apt for the complexity and challenge of the times. Weaving her own 'stark' journey from one kind of self to another in her own walk with ME/CFS, she suggests that those of us with fatigue simultaneously offer critique and hope to an exhausted world — that we are positioned to experience the emergent, complex 'I' now required if humans are to respond to the evolutionary shift underway in the pressurised present era.

| 'Reframing Healing: Toxicities, the Nervous System, and Bringing Curiosity to Discomfort'—with Dr Evan Hirsch | 21 Jul 2025 | 00:40:25 | |
In this episode, Anna speaks with Dr Evan Hirsch (the Energy MD), who has helped thousands recover from Long Covid and ME/CFS. The conversation raises some fascinating points: how Long Covid can be understood as ME/CFS with a different viral trigger; how the nervous system and mitochondria are not 'dysfunctional' but highly functional, intelligent and communicative. Evan covers the 5 main causes of complex fatigue conditions, and the conversation moves through the difference between nervous system retraining as a 'necessary' and 'sufficient' condition for healing; the difference between recovery and healing and the invitational nature of meeting discomfort with curiosity and openness. This is a rich, thoughtful conversation, full of wisdom and insight. We hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review this show. It really does help to support it. Please share it.

| Body-Mind? Listening for the Body — with Anna Grear | 09 Apr 2024 | 00:32:34 | |
In this episode, Anna reflects on the importance of understanding the centrality of the body as a sensing, capable field of aliveness and a highly evolved, highly intelligent field of meaning-making. She explores the Western myth of the body-mind split and challenges the sense in which some approaches to healing are almost echoes, no matter how well-meaning, of that older mythic structure. Is it time, she wonders, to drop the idea of a 'hyphenation' in bodymind and to move towards a much more entangled, dynamic sense of embodiment, the unconscious, and embodied knowing. Anna presents her reflections as an invitation to an ongoing conversation, perhaps overdue, in the healing community, about the need truly to value, appreciate and learn from the body as an intelligent community of intelligences, rather than to conceptualise it as predominantly being the lesser part of a hyphenated mind-body 'connection'.
