My highlights and ACTUAL self and Self care lessons from my Season 1 guests
Thank you so much for listening and for joining me on this journey. This final episode of Season 1 is where I am honest about what I've ACTUALLY integrated from my gorgeous guests' episodes. Scroll down for links to all the episodes on YouTube and audio.WHO AM I? I'm your producer and host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing (Pen & Sword, 2017), freelance journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I'm also an online trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self. Past Chair of BACP Coaching, I run Feel Better Every Day with Eve Menezes Cunningham (aka selfcarecoaching.net). I started The Feel Better Every Day Podcast in 2023 because I realised that even with the focus of my work being self and Self care (for 20 years now!), I often struggle. And so do so many of my colleagues. We're all human! So I interviewed several of them including neuroscientists, authors writing about health and wellbeing, fitness professionals, therapists, coaches, energy workers and medical professionals. We ALL have gaps and even gulfs between what we would LOVE to be doing for ourselves each day and what we actually do. My hope with each episode is that you'll go easier on yourself and do something rather than nothing from your own ideal self or Self care repertoire. Create a life you don't need to retreat from! Let me know how you get on! I really love hearing from y'all. WANT TO WORK WITH ME?

EFT trainer Grainne O'Neill shares her wonderfully 'worthy' AND Netflix and chocolate cake ideal and actual self care

EFT trainer Grainne O'Neill shares her wonderfully 'worthy' AND Netflix and chocolate cake ideal and actual self care
When is it best to go for a long walk and when is it best to opt for a slice of chocolate cake in front of Netflix?Grainne O'Neill shares her wonderful mix of what she calls 'worthy' self care and Self care (exercise, an embodied meditation to help her plug into the day's energies, EFT Tapping (of course), lifting weights and a 'gratitude countdown' to end each day.How about you? How might you give yourself more grace when you're at your best AND when you most NEED that grace and compassion?Let us know in the comments :)TODAY'S GUESTGrainne O’Neill works with people to help them fully be their authentic selves. Grainne’s interest in personal development, started a number of years ago when she became ill with Chronic Fatigue.  Her work in the corporate sector in marketing, advertising and financial services had led her to becoming burnt out.Conventional medicine was unfortunately unable to help her so she had to look at alternative therapies to find a solution. This journey led her to a number of different therapies and eventually to where she is now.  Originally, she trained in coaching, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), & Hypnotherapy. However, once she learnt EFT tapping therapy, it immediately became the primary tool that she used for herself and with clients, as she found it to be the most effective way of getting to the root of getting to the root of the problem, and making permanent changes.Grainne now works as an EFT Practitioner seeing clients one to one and also as a trainer for people who want to learn tapping for their own use, or who want to become EFT practitioners. Her work is about getting back to the root of who you are at a soul level.  Who you are without the fear, anger, sadness or any other negative emotion or belief that is holding you back. Clients say she helps them to clear the pathway for themselves and give them the tools to help themselves. And that when the going gets tough and difficult issues have to be tackled, she does this with a light touch and humour.I'm an EFT International Mentor and Advanced EFT Practitioner and Grainne has been MY EFT mentor since I moved to Ireland in 2019. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you're considering training in EFT yourself.Find out more at https://grainnemoneill.com/WHO AM I?I'm your host, Eve Menezes Cunningham, author of 365 Ways to Feel Better: Self-care Ideas for Embodied Wellbeing, freelance journalist and Editor-in-Chief of the Irish Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy.I'm also an online trauma therapist (with lived experience), supervisor and Self care coach (integrating yoga therapy, NLP, EFT and crystals as appropriate) helping people connect with and take better care of their Self.

Clinical neuroscientist and applied microbiologist Dr Miguel Toribio-Mateas on his ideal and actual daily self and Self care practices
Do you follow your gut when it comes to your own self and Self care?Do you know yourself well enough to know which foods and drinks support your mental and physical emotional health and which ones get in the way?How might you get more curious (with compassion, not judgment) and make friendlier choices from now on?Let us know in the comments :)TODAY'S GUESTDr Miguel Toribio-Mateas, a clinical neuroscientist and applied microbiologist with a rich background in human nutrition, carries over twenty years of experience across a spectrum of roles in healthcare, science, and technology.His work, deeply rooted in understanding the microbiota-gut-brain axis, delves into how food and lifestyle interventions influence mood, cognition, and behaviour. With a doctoral degree focusing on the gut microbiome and mental health, Dr Miguel's research, including his recent publication on ADHD in the British Medical Journal, bridges the gap between academic insights and practical solutions. As a neurodivergent person (both ADHD and autistic), he uniquely comprehends the challenges faced by neurodivergent individuals, infusing creativity as a pivotal tool for personal growth. His commitment to neurodiversity is further exemplified in his development of the "Thrive With ADHD” online course and his upcoming books with Jessica Kingsley/Hachette Books and Editorial Planeta/Alienta, aimed at practitioners and the general public, respectively.
