The Missing Peace Presents : The Thought Trap

This episode is going live on April Fools’ Day…which felt like the perfect timing. In this episode, I explore something we don’t often notice…the quiet trickery of the mind…and how easily something can look and feel real even when it’s being created in the moment. And it’s not random. There’s a reason the mind does this. A really understandable one. But what’s even more interesting…is what’s available when we begin to see it.👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

Why do I make such a big deal out of things that aren’t that important?This week’s Trap Talk question felt perfectly timed, landing right in the middle of my own recent Thought Trap. This episode is sparked by a slightly chaotic couple of days involving a very weird cold, a podcast recording, and a missing phone. A simple situation quickly started to feel urgent, personal, and overwhelming… especially when I wasn’t feeling myself. A gentle look at why that happens, and what’s really going on in those moments.👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

A family gathering, a questionable tiramisu, and a fresh look at perfection. In this episode, I explore how perfectionism can keep us stuck in our heads, chasing a moving target, and what opens up when we let things be a little more real.👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

You felt something. Your mind grabbed it. And before the feeling had even passed, it had already become evidence — evidence about who you are. That's the trap. Identity isn't built from who we are. It's built from what the mind concludes about how we feel. In this episode we're getting under the surface of emotion — what it actually is, why it's impersonal, and why nothing you've ever felt has meant anything about you. If you've ever held it together on the outside while feeling a ton of emotion on the inside, this one's for you.👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/👉 Do you have a question for Trap Talk? themissingpeacecotswolds@gmail.com/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

Trap Talk is the monthly segment where I get to speak to YOUR questions. This months question.............“Hi Becca, I’m really disciplined with food and exercise. I follow plans, I stay consistent, but it feels like I’m constantly managing myself. It’s exhausting, and I still don’t feel settled in my body. I thought doing all the right things would make this easier. What would you say about this?”👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/👉 Do you have a question for Trap Talk? themissingpeacecotswolds@gmail.com/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Elliott, a Certified Change Coach, to explore the self-esteem and insecurity trap. That quiet sense of not being quite enough. The comparing. The measuring. The pressure to improve the image of who we are. We commonly question the whole idea of self-esteem. What if “enough” isn’t something to earn? A simple, honest conversation about the freedom that can come from seeing what was never missing 🧩👉Lindsey's website: https://www.lindseyelliott.co.uk/👉Check out Lindsey's books https://mybook.to/LindseyElliottbooksIf you’d like to stay connected with me, you can join my mailing list or follow me on Instagram.👉Mailing List https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com/subscribe-to-my-mailing-list👉Follow me on instagram https://www.instagram.com/missingpeacecotswolds/"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.

“How are you?” is a question we ask all the time and one that often gets answered automatically. In this episode, I explore where our answers really come from and how easily they are shaped by thought, memory, or imagined futures rather than what is actually happening now. This is not about answering differently, just a gentle inquiry into where we put our attention and what we might notice when we slow that moment down.If you’d like to stay connected, you can join my mailing list or follow me on Instagram.

I’ve been reflecting on the incredible guests I've had here on The Thought Trap — and honestly, every single one of them is a "Changemaker". Not because of titles or roles, but because of how they show up in the world and make a difference to others. I’ve known todays guest for a good chunk of my adult life, he’s built a business that quietly brings people together and, unexpectedly, into presence. We talk about community, connection, men, beards, vikings, time, relaxation, why we feel calmer when we focus on what’s right in front of us and what he noticed after going completely "phoneless" while filming for a Netflix show. It’s not self-help — it’s just a really human conversation👉 Check out Damo's work https://linktr.ee/Damo4Show👉 Check out my work https://www.themissingpeacecotswolds.com"The Thought Trap — a space for quieting the busy brain, turning down the noisy chatter, and stepping more fully into life"Disclaimer:As a Certified Change Coach trained by Dr. Amy Johnson, PhD, and a member of the Association of Coaching, I approach wellbeing from a holistic perspective.
