Ep 18 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Lindsey Hall - Intimacy Coach
Friday Jun 02, 2023
Friday Jun 02, 2023
How can our sense of self lead to resilience? Where does pleasure fit in? How can we be more resilient in relationship breakups?
Lindsey Hall is an Intimacy and Empowerment Coach.
She spent 12 years in the world of corporate accounting where listening to intuition and prioritising pleasure were not exactly encouraged, but now she is passionate about helping women bring more pleasure to their daily lives and peeling back the layers of shame and social conditioning that prevent us from living our fully empowered lives. She says she hates small talk and elephants in the room and much prefers to dive in deep talking about the things that are maybe-scary but ultimately so important and healing to talk about.
After going through her own divorce during lockdown with two young children, she also specialises in supporting women emotionally through the divorce process and beyond, including dating and co-parenting
She says her mission is to help women to deepen in their intimacy with their self & others, own their power & their pleasure, and live a joyful life they love.

Ep 17 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Becca Harvey - Cold Water Swimmer
Friday May 26, 2023
Friday May 26, 2023
Can choosing to put ourselves in hard situations, such as getting in cold water, prepare us for the hard uncomfortable situations in life?
Becca Harvey believes so. Becca is an outdoor swim guide based in the North East. She started swimming outdoors one January when she saw a documentary on people using cold water to treat depression. At the time she was dealing with complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and had not found any conventional treatments effective for her. She was desperate to try anything. Getting into the cold water was one thing that helped her, and both changed and saved her life.
Becca features in the film, The Ice Mile, which is recently available to purchase on Vimeo here, with a portion of the proceeds going towards the charity Beach Access North East. The film, directed and shot by filmmaker Rachel Sarah, follows Becca’s journey as she trains for her Ice Mile. An Ice Mile is a challenge to swim a mile in water 5 degrees or cooler, with just a swimsuit, hat and googles. It’s something only a few hundred people have ever done. Even fewer people have joined Becca in completing an extreme ice mile, which means being in the water longer than 45 minutes to complete the swim. The film is beautifully shot, and tells the journey of training and completing such an extreme event as well as touching on some of the difficulties Becca has faced in her life.

Ep 15 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Rohan Dixit
Friday May 12, 2023
Friday May 12, 2023
What does neuroscience have to inform us about resilience? Can we use biofeedback to increase resilience? What practices does science show can help emotional regulation and increase HRV?
Today we hear from Rohan Dixit who is a neuroscientist, who studied how meditation changes the brain at Harvard and Standford universities. He has also learnt and researched on meditation among monks in the Himalayas
He is the founder of Lief Therapeutics, where he’s developed a wearable device which provides Heart Rate Variability (HRV) biofeedback. He talks to us about using this biofeedback as a powerful tool for improving emotional regulation skills and increasing self-awareness, and increasing resilience.

Ep 13 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Tess Elias
Friday Apr 28, 2023
Friday Apr 28, 2023
What can we learn about resilience from humans displaced in refugee camps? How do humanitarian aid workers cope with their work? What is resilience programming for communities and does it work?
These are all questions I ask Tess Elias on this episode.
Tess spent the best part of a decade working in humanitarian emergency responses, both in refugee settings and in conflict situations, ranging from Afghanistan to Tanzania to Bangladesh. She started out working in medical logistics, and eventually moved into general management for international charities. She also worked for the EU for a year, but realised that even when working for an organisation that controls the purse strings, the system designed to help people in crisis is fundamentally flawed, and there just wasn’t the scope to do what was needed. So she moved back home to the UK, started to deal with the burnout she’d experienced, and now lives in North Wales with her dog, working part time consulting for various humanitarian NGOs, running a lot of mountain miles, and trying to figure out how to spend more time outdoors and less in front of a computer.

Ep 12 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Alex Maher
Friday Apr 21, 2023
Friday Apr 21, 2023
In this episode we delve into the world of online misogyny and the resilience around constant online abuse.
Alex Maher is a doctoral researcher at Loughborough University studying feminism and misogyny on TikTok, in no small part as a result of her own experiences as a creator on the app.
After downloading TikTok as a fact-finding experiment to aid her marketing career, her feminist skits and political hot-takes saw her rise to popularity - and notoriety – with anti-feminists revealing the dark underbelly of an app seen as light entertainment for most.
Her research seeks to expose the potentially radicalising and harmful influence of such people operating on the app, in order to better support women using social media to challenge inequality.

Ep 9 - Resilience Rising Podcast - Beth Pascall
Friday Mar 31, 2023
Friday Mar 31, 2023
How do we cope when we can't do the one thing we love? This is a question that really started this podcast and Jen Scotney's journey to delve into resilience.
This week we ask this of Beth Pascall, who is in a very similar position, having to live without running, after an injury in 2021. We talk about how we do or don't cope with not being able to run, what that resilience looks like, and other time's in Beth's life she has been through similar. Thank you to Beth for taking the time to talk about such a difficult time.
Beth is a leading ultrarunner. She has won the 100 mile Western States Run, 268 mile Montane Spine Race, the Spine Challenger, the Highland Fling, and many others. She’s come 4th at UTMB and 2nd at Dragons Back Race. She holds the female Bob Graham Round record, of 14 hours 34 minutes, as well as the record for running Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland. She has run for Great Britain and is supported by Salomon Running and other brands, as well as working as a paediatric doctor.
She has largely been out of running for 18 months, and although she has been out on her bike, recently completing the single stage Atlas Mountain Race, a race over 1300 kilometres, we discover cycling isn't a simple substitute for running.
