Today's podcast is with Emma Cannon, a best selling author, speaker, mentor, acupuncturist, mystic and mother who, I am very sad to say, passed away a few weeks after I recorded this conversation. Initially drawn to Emma's renowned work in fertility, I was struck by her profound wisdom and spiritual depth as soon as I stepped into her magical home. What began as an exploration of fertility evolved into a much broader discussion about life itself. I sought Emma's insights into her philosophy on life, shaped by her experiences supporting countless couples and navigating her own journey through years of chemotherapy. Cancer which is often referred to as life's greatest teacher, underscored Emma's understanding of existence.As our conversation unfolded, I couldn't help but delve into Emma's mystical side. With curiosity piqued by my growing fascination with the history of witches, I posed the question to Emma, prompting a smile and a candid acknowledgment of her affinity with the mystical realm. It became evident that Emma's ability to guide souls and find peace transcended the conventional boundaries of medicine and ventured into the realm of magic. I hope you enjoy this interview with the amazing and mystical Emma Cannon. My heart and love is with her family, and many thanks to them for encouraging me to release this interview after her passing. Emma, you magical being. I'm so pleased our conversation is finally out with the world.Follow Poppy: @poppyjamieBuy Poppy's book: https://amzn.eu/d/9PiMG3pA big thank you to Kama Ayurveda.

This is a very special episode for me as I'm interviewing a woman who has impacted my life enormously. I first met her about 4 to 5 years ago, and since then, no matter what life has thrown at me, she's helped me process it with a wisdom like no other. I'm interviewing Deike Begg, who has been a professional astrologer and psychotherapist for over 30 years. She's an expert on astrology, psychic synthesis, synchronicity and mythology. She's a young psychologist. She's also one of the world's leading rebirths and a published author of many books, including Rebirthing Freedom from Your Past, Synchronicity: The Promise of Coincidence, On the Trail of Merlin and In Search of the Holy Grail and The Precious Blood. Her book Synchronicity is my favourite beyond favourite. I read it whenever I'm feeling confused about life, because it's like a warm hug and a reminder that life is unfolding just as it should. Sometimes all we need is a little bit of patience but for people like me patience can be a very difficult thing to cultivate. Deike has just turned 80, and I was desperate to make sure more people were able to receive this incredible woman's wisdom. I hope you enjoy this very heartwarming interview full of wonderful, wise nuggets.

On today's podcast, I am joined by Ed Coats, a prominent consultant in reproductive medicine and surgery, currently serving as the medical director of The Evewell, a private fertility clinic in London. With 18 years of experience delivering babies, Ed is passionate about enhancing education and access to fertility preservation and reproductive technology. In our insightful conversation, we delve into the intricacies of egg freezing, an aspect of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) where eggs are preserved in a vault rather than being fertilised and placed back inside the body. As I personally navigate through the egg freezing process, with my own retrieval just 20 hours away, I plan to share my journey in a dedicated episode, reflecting on the profound impact and gratitude I feel for the scientific advancements that empower women to take control of their fertility.Ed's expertise sheds light on the egg freezing process and the broader landscape of fertility preservation. In a world where information on fertility is often scarce, dedicating episodes to this crucial topic on the Unwind podcast aims to provide valuable insights and education. Exploring fertility in depth has been a source of comfort for me, especially in my 30s, as it allows me to make informed decisions that safeguard my future and brings a sense of peace. While this content may deviate slightly from our usual programming, I hope you find it both useful and valuable.Find Ed:Website: https://www.evewell.com/team/mr-edward-coats/The Evewell: https://www.evewell.com/Find Poppy:Instagram: @poppyjamieBuy her book: https://amzn.eu/d/ci14tFQ
