For an entire year, ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome stole Hayley’s life!!!She was trapped in a body that would not move, a mind that was fading, and a reality that felt like slow death. Doctors offered little hope. Every day felt like disappearing.Then Hayley did something radical. She walked away from everything she knew…her identity, even relationships…and began an uncompromising quest to feel truly alive. She pushed the limits of mind, body, and soul healing. She tried what many fear to even talk about, including psychotherapy assisted MDMA, and turned her descent into unconsciousness into a powerful book that will save lives.This conversation will shake your beliefs about illness, trauma, and what it takes to reclaim your life. If you have ever felt hopeless, invisible, or stuck in a body that feels like a prison, Hayley’s story will not just inspire you, it will challenge you to wake up.Subscribe to The New Mind podcast for more uplifting and insightful conversations that explore the depths of mental health, personal growth, and inspiring stories of individuals making a difference in the world.Thank youConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamccrystal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellamccrystalhypno TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ella_mccrystalWeb: https://www.ellamccrystal.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EllaMcCrystalConnect with Hayley: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theguidingstarsystemInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theguidingstarsystem/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theguidingstarsystemWeb: https://www.theguidingstarsystem.com/

The Bonnie Blue Horror Show
This is not a conversation about one woman. This is a post-mortem of a culture.The Bonnie Blue Horror Show is a psychological excavation of what happens when the theatre of digital voyeurism transforms a real-time breakdown into a global spectacle. In this urgent and disturbing episode, I sit down with Dr Charlotte Armitage, to dissect the pathology behind the phenomenon. We explore the machinery that props up modern fame ~ and the silent complicity of those watching. We speak plainly. About trauma. About fractured identity. This is not about Bonnie Blue.This is about what we’ve become and where society is going.Subscribe to The New Mind podcast for more uplifting and insightful conversations that explore the depths of mental health, personal growth, and inspiring stories of individuals making a difference in the world.Thank youConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamccrystal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellamccrystalhypno TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ella_mccrystalWeb: https://www.ellamccrystal.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EllaMcCrystalConnect with Charlotte: My Book: https://generationzombie.co.uk/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/charlotteearmitage/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drcharlottearmitageWeb: https://charlottearmitage.co.uk/

Strong on the Outside, Dead on the Inside
For over 30 years, Craig White built warriors. As one of the world’s leading Strength & Conditioning coaches, he prepared the British & Irish Lions, Premiership giants, and multiple Rugby World Cup teams to crush their opponents. On the surface, it was success. Power. Dominance.What Craig was also seeing (and experiencing) was…men who looked invincible… but felt nothing inside.“I thought being a great coach was about building strong bodies. I was wrong. Strength without soul is weakness. And it’s destroying men.”He noticed how men glorify toughness…suppress emotion…sacrifice soul for success. In his role of building physically strong athletes…he realised the world was full of emotionally broken men.Craig walked away from the traditional world of performance. He redefined what it means to be strong. Now, he dedicates his life to guiding men through the journey most will never dare to take…a descent into their own shadows to reclaim authentic leadership, emotional freedom, and spiritual wholeness.In this raw, no-bullsh*t conversation, Craig reveals…• The brutal truth about the “man up” culture in elite sport ~ and how it leaves men emotionally castrated.• His own reckoning…from an obsessive coach addicted to control, to a guide who now leads men into their emotional depths.• The hidden crisis of high-performing men…success on paper, but numb, disconnected, and spiritually empty inside.• Why most leadership “development” is a con….and how real transformation demands stripping away the masks of ego, status, and fear.• Craig’s mission to forge a new breed of male leaders…men who lead from presence and truth, not posturing and power-plays.This is a call to the men who are ready to stop performing…and start living.Subscribe to The New Mind podcast for more uplifting and insightful conversations that explore the depths of mental health, personal growth, and inspiring stories of individuals making a difference in the world.Thank youConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamccrystal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellamccrystalhypno TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ella_mccrystalWeb: https://www.ellamccrystal.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EllaMcCrystalConnect with Craig: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@daretobedifferentcraigwhiteLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-white-performance-coach/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/craigwhitementoring/Web: https://craigwhitementoring.com/
