All Episodes

December 30, 2024 • 28 mins

Isolation, frustration, depression or a sense of bereavement are common experiences for visually impaired individuals, but physical activity and touch exchange can provide a way out. In this episode, we discuss how supportive, safe environments—like smaller gyms —help participants reconnect with their bodies, build confidence, and foster social connections. Discover how sport becomes a lifeline to brighter, more confident living. If you are visually impaired or blind, or if you know someone who is, and would like to take part to the series of Martial Attitude Voice podcast interviews exploring touch, confidence and blindness or if you would like to join in the Martial Attitude Training workshops now running in London every Sunday, please do keep in touch via Instagram or according to your communication preferences, all available HERE. Sincerely, Mathias Alberton Founder CEO at Martial Attitude C.I.C. BPS trainee Sport Psychologist MSc in Applied Sport Psychology at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, London, UK.

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
