Episodes
Setting boundaries sounds simple on paper... but when you’re actually face-to-face with people pushing them? Whole different story.
And here's the kicker: even when you hold the line, it can feel awful. Cue the guilt, the second-guessing, and the little voice wondering...
- Was I too harsh?
- Am I being selfish?
- Should I have just said yes?
In today’s episode, we’re diving into the real work of boundaries: not jus...
Ever found yourself nagging your partner like they're your child?
Or maybe you’ve been on the receiving end - feeling like a teenager being told off?
In this episode of The Power Within Podcast, we’re diving into Transactional Analysis and how the three ego states, Parent, Adult, and Child, show up in our relationships (yes, even in the healthy ones).
We chat about:
🔹 How easy it is to slip into “parenting” mode w...
In this episode of The Power Within Podcast, we’re talking about gratitude - but not just in the fluffy, “write three things down every morning” kind of way!
We’re diving into how gratitude shows up in your friendships, your time, and your energy… and why it might be time to reassess who’s getting the best of you.
Today, we're chatting about:
- Why your friendship circle gets smaller as you get wiser
- Seeing through the BS and ...
When people hear “hypnotherapy,” they either picture a swinging pocket watch or worry they’ll lose control of their mind. But here’s the truth...
Hypnotherapy isn’t mind control, and you’re always in charge!
For many, it’s a powerful alternative to medication, helping with fears, phobias, trauma, and even addiction. But not enough people take it seriously - including the NHS.
In this episode, we’re diving into:
🌀 How hypnotherap...
Trigger Warning: Suicide
Addiction’s never just about the substance - it runs deeper. For Ian, it started long before the drugs, and lead to two years spent in prison.
But now, he's been in recovery for 25 years, actively working to tackle his addiciton - and it's not been without its bumps in the road. And he's here to share his story and journey with the world, even if it helps just one person.

This is a big one that gets on our nerves... and this week, we're continuing with our second episode of fostering/adoption and heading into the complexities of special guardianship.
It's a system designed to provide stability for children in care, but one that comes with its own set of challenges.
Today, we discuss:
🔹 What special guardianship really means - because it's not as simple or obvious a...
In this episode, we’re diving into the beautiful chaos of raising two secondary school boys - Evan and Kye. Going from a family of three to four overnight wasn’t exactly smooth sailing, but it’s been an adventure, that’s for sure.
Kye came into our lives as a foster child and is now on the way to being officially adopted, which has brought its own set of challenges and blessings.
Raising two boys - one biological and one fostered -...
In this episode, we’re getting real and diving into the emotional side of manifestation - the highs, the lows, and why the chase for that next big milestone doesn’t always look like we expect it to.
We share some of our personal experiences, especially when it comes to climbing that metaphorical mountain, and why the journey sometimes doesn’t quite match the picture we had in our heads.
But here’s the key - when you get super clear a...
Ever feel like you and your partner are speaking completely different languages when you argue?
One of you wants to talk things through, while the other just walks away, leaving you feeling unheard and abandoned. It’s frustrating, isn’t it?
But there’s a reason this keeps happening - and a way to fix it.
In this episode, we’re diving into understanding how you and your partner process disagreements differently can...
Anxiety isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience...
We both struggle with it, but in completely different ways!
Whether it’s social anxiety, the fear of public speaking, or that overwhelming spiral of overthinking, we know how exhausting it can be.
(And yes - even as therapists and hypnotherapists, we can struggle with anxiety too!)
In this episode, we’re opening up about how anxiety has shown up in our lives, the ways it’s held...
After three years of waiting, we’ve *finally* reached the first step in officially adopting our nephew, Kai.
It’s been a long and emotional road, but we always knew this was the right path for our family.
In this episode, we’re sharing the reality of navigating the adoption system - why it’s taken so long, the challenges we’ve faced, and how people can unfortunately manipulate the process.
We’ll also dive into the differences betwee...
Welcome to the Power Within Podcast with us, The Eastwoods.
This podcast is the culmination of 16 years of life experiences, including our journey through fostering to adoption of our nephew and growing a family of four with our two boys, setting up a Sports Bar in Garrett's Green, Birmingham, and moving into the therapy and hypnotherapy space.

Self-esteem isn’t something you’re just born with - it’s something you build over time.
The good news? It can grow, and confidence isn’t a one-size-fits-all thing. You might feel unstoppable in one area of your life while doubting yourself in another, and that’s completely normal.
In this episode, we’re talking about what it really takes to build unshakable self-esteem.
From staying positive to surrounding yourself with th...
