It's the RUMP Rewind! Where we delve into the back catalogue and whip out an old fave that we think needs a re-airing today. Kate's chosen to re-explore the vast benefits of meditation on our brain and lives.

Sara Lazar joined us on Ep.43 to talk about what's actually happening in our brains when we meditate. We're all told it's good for us, but we want to find out why.

Sara is an Assistant Professor in Psychology at Harvard Medical School and an Associate Researcher in Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. Her research focuses on the neuroscience underlying yoga and meditation.

Her work has been covered by the likes of The New York Times and in TED talks, and you can find out more about her here:

• How Meditation Can Reshape Our Brains: Sara Lazar at TEDxCambridge
• The Neuroscience of Yoga and Meditation - Dr Sara Lazar, PhD

Sara sets us one our loveliest challenges so far: to meditate while sending love out to others. Gwen & Kate try it out and you can join in too.

In this week's bite-sized episode, Gwen & Kate discuss the practicalities of Mel Robbins' "Let Them" Theory and try it out on their partners to varying levels of success! They try out some previous episodes to make themselves feel good, including microdosing, grounding and forest bathing (all at once) and give some top tips when moving house!

We want to know if you've tried the Let Them theory and if it's worked.

It’s time for the RUMP Rewind! We dig into the archives each week and dust off a golden oldie for your listening pleasure. This time, Gwen’s picked a mind-expanding episode all about microdosing psychedelics – tune in and take a trip down memory lane!

We talk to Dr Pamela Kryskow about the research she and her team are doing into the use of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of PTSD, anxiety, depression, addiction and much more.

Pamela is a Canadian doctor who specialises in psychedelic medicine, mental health and chronic pain. She is a clinical instructor at the University of British Columbia and a founding board member of the Canadian Psychedelic Association. In addition, she is involved in the largest ongoing microdosing study to date, Microdose.me

We learn about clinical trials, the successes and challenges, the rise in popularity of microdosing and how in actual fact, we've been doing this since we started walking this earth.
