The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Hamed came on to share the traumatic story that burdened him from a child into a young man, and how he's managed to turn that trauma on its head and build a positive future for himself and his family. I honestly think that this could be one of the most inspiring stories I've ever come across, and the coping mechanisms he's put in place to process his trauma are not only admirable but also eye-opening and useful. Trust me when I say there's a lot to take from this episode!

#29 - Everything You Want Is Already Within You | Jason Shiers 57:06

2 years назад57:06

57:06

It can be so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that we need to acquire things before we can be happy and fulfilled. This could be money, status, relationships, the way we look, the list goes on. In this episode, Jason breaks down his own personal battle with trauma, addiction, and constantly seeking things to fix what he thought was wrong with him. It wasn't until he decided to look within that he realised everything he ever thought he needed was already inside of him. This is a personal favourite of mine, probably because I related so much to his story, and if you've ever found yourself trapped by this way of thinking I have no doubt you'll get something from this episode.

Dry January is fully in swing now for a lot of us and whilst some of us might've failed at the first hurdle (myself included) I thought it would be fitting to get Will Armstrong on to discuss his sober journey. 5 years ago Will was trapped in a cycle of constant escapism through alcohol and drugs, and since knocking it on the head every aspect of his life has improved, including his crippling anxiety. We discussed his story, techniques he used to go sober, and we had an open chat about why alcohol is so deeply embedded in our culture. If you're trying to cut down on the booze I promise you this episode will really hit home! You can connect with Will here: https://www.instagram.com/teetotaltrainer/…

It's no secret that a lot of us spend time conjuring up stories in our mind based on worrying about the future. That's why I invited Will onto the podcast to not only share his experience with worry, but shed some light around how we can turn down the volume of the voice in our minds that seems to always be so concerned about how the future will play out. We discussed practical ways of tackling worry and the importance of avoiding distraction in our lives, ensuring we make time and space to address what's happening in our brains.

Keeping anxiety a secret and bottling it up only gave it more power over me. Talking with those closest to me felt like a huge weight off my shoulders; whilst it might seem daunting it played a big role in working through it.

Here's a 4-step approach I use that helped me to work through anxiety when it well and truly had a grip on my life, preventing me from going into work and at times socialising too. This won't cure anxiety overnight, but in my experience consistently applying this technique worked wonders for me!
