Why Are We Whispering? With Jennie Guay

More and more people are beginning to look inward and acknowledge something that, for a long time, was ignored or pushed aside; their past. We’re seeing a real shift, where individuals are starting to recognise how unresolved trauma shows up in their present-day lives. Whether that’s through relationship struggles, patterns of self-sabotage, challenges with self-worth, or even the way we parent, there’s a growing awareness that our past experiences don’t just stay in the past...they shape who we are today.And that awareness is powerful. It’s an important first step.But here’s the thing- it’s only a portion of what’s actually required to change your circumstances. Because identifying the source of your trauma doesn’t automatically heal it.On this weeks episode, host Jennie is joined by Robert Brennan, on the the UK's leading mindset specialists and trauma recovery coaches. He works with people not just to understand their past, but how to HEAL it. Robert and Jennie explore what it really means to draw a line under trauma. They answer confounding questions that so many have like "How do you actually heal the wounds, not just identify them?" and "How do you move forward in a way that feels real, lasting and transformative?You can find Robert Brennan on:Website:Hypnotherapist Harley Street London | Robert Brennan | NLP & HaveningInstagram: @robertbrennanmindset You can find Jennie Guay on:Website:Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach

Parenting doesn’t just shape our kids. It quietly reshapes our friendships too.Today’s episode is a real one. Host Jennie is joined by Sarah Knight, founder of FoundHerFire and host of the podcast It’s Got Pockets, and they get into the messy, often unspoken tension that can creep in when our parenting styles don’t align.Because let’s be honest, friendships can turn into… friendSHITS real quick when you and your friends have completely different views on discipline, screen time, independence, gender dynamics, or what’s “right” for your kids.Sarah and Jennie talk about how these differences don’t just impact our children; they can strain long-term friendships, create awkward school gate dynamics, and even spark quiet competition between parents who actually like each other. So how do we navigate it? Why does parenting bring out this competitive edge in so many of us? And is it possible to stay close to people whose parenting choices you fundamentally disagree with?This conversation is honest, nuanced, and probably going to hit close to home.You can find Sarah Knight here:Website: FOUNDHER FIRE — Sarah KnightInstagram: @foundherfireYou can find Jennie Guay here:Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach Book: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books

In a world that feels increasingly uncertain, many of us are running on empty. Burnout has become normalized, even expected, but beneath the exhaustion is often a deeper misalignment. A quiet knowing that something isn’t quite right. That we’ve drifted from ourselves.In this weeks episode, host Jennie Guay is joined by Mary Madeiras. She is a 3x Emmy Award Winning TV Director, whose career bridges the worlds of spiritual transformation and broadcast story telling. Mary is an Advanced Akashic Records Practitioner and the Author of ' The Akashic Way: Living Through the Lens of the Akashic Records.Mary guides people from burnout to alignment, helping them move beyond survival mode and into a life that feels purposeful, grounded, and deeply authentic. A core part of her work is what she calls The Akashic Way, a healing and intuitive framework rooted in the understanding of the Akashic Records, often described as an energetic archive of the soul’s journey.Through the Akashic Way, Mary helps people access deeper insight into their patterns, purpose, and unresolved trauma. It’s not about quick fixes, it’s about gently uncovering the root causes of burnout, reconnecting with your inner wisdom, and realigning with who you truly are at a soul level. Her approach weaves together spiritual guidance, trauma healing, and practical integration, creating a pathway back to wholeness.Jennie and Mary explore what alignment actually means, how healing can unfold during uncertain times, and how accessing the Akashic field can illuminate your inner purpose and support profound transformation.If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or like you’re ready for a deeper level of healing, this episode is going to resonate.You can find Mary Maderias on:Website: The Akashic WayYou can find Jennie Guay on;Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoachBook: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books

It’s about responsibility. And also Accountability should you have already given your child access and how you can reverse your decision. Amit and Jennie explore how phones and iPads in formative years are altering attention spans, increasing anxiety, distorting identity formation, and exposing children to content they are neurologically unequipped to process.The question is no longer if screens are affecting our children...It’s - how much damage we’re willing to ignore?If you’re a parent, educator, or anyone who cares about the next generation, this is a conversation you cannot afford to skip.You can find Amit Singh Kalley on:Instagram: @forworkingparentsWebsite: Home - For Working Parents LimitedYou can find Jennie on:Website: Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @whywhisperpodcast and @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach Book: Howie Blend: Playdate Adventures with Family and Friends: Amazon.co.uk: Guay, Jennie: 9781919623108: Books

What happens when the person you once built a life with becomes the person you are divorcing and have to protect your children from both emotionally and psychologically and even energetically. When co-parenting isn't possible, when every exchange feels like a minefield, we are told to "parallel parent". But what does that mean and what does it actually look like when you're dealing with a high conflict personality disordered ex? And how do you stop your children for carrying the emotional cuts and bruises that come with that territory? Joining host Jennie on this weeks episode is psychotherapist, mediator, CEO of Psyched Ventures and the Author of 'Mt Parent the Peacock', Kathleen Saxton. Together they talk about the hidden emotional toll of parenting alongside someone who thrives in conflict, how to protect your children's sense of safety and self and what really happens to kids who grow up with a personality disordered parent. This isn't an easy conversation. But it is an essential one!

In this episode, we dive into one of the most talked about topics in health and well being right now - GLP 1s.You've probably heard the names Mounjaro and Ozempic - but what do they REALLY do? What are the myths, and what are the genuine mental and physical benefits behind them.Joining host Jennie to help make sense of it all is Dr. Andre Brittain-Dissont. He has 3 decades of medical experience as a GP, Premier Sports Physician, Occupational Physician, and advanced aesthetics practitioner.

On this weeks episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s been bubbling under the surface for a while now: more and more people, especially Millennials and Gen Z, are choosing to live alcohol-free. Whether it’s for mental health, physical health, or just a change in values, the sober-curious movement is reshaping how we connect, socialize… and yes, even how we date.But here’s the thing, if dating already feels like a weird, vulnerable game, what happens when you remove alcohol from the equation? No cocktails to take the edge off. No “liquid courage.” Just you, your authentic self, and someone else doing the same.Jennie is joined by someone who’s helping rewrite the rules - Helen Masters. She is the co-founder of SoberAF Dating - a platform and community designed to support meaningful connections without alcohol. She’s here to talk about why this shift is happening, what it means for modern dating, sober sex (and why it blows drunk sex out of the water!) and how we can all show up a little more real, one sober date at a time.You can find Helen and SoberAF Dating on:Website: SoberAF Dating – Real Connections, No Shots Required.Instagram: @soberafdating Pre Register for the App HERE: SoberAF Dating – Real Connections, No Shots Required.You can find Why Are We Whispering? on:Instagram: @whywhisperpodcast You can find host Jennie on:Website:Jg Premier Divorce & Breakup Coaching & Advisory | Step Parenting | UKInstagram: @jennieg_premierdivorcecoach

On this weeks episode, I'm turning up the volume on a topic that affects millions of women but is still too often misunderstood: perimenopause and menopause.Joinng host Jennie is Dr. Louise Newson: GP, renowned menopause specialist, author, and leading advocate for changing the narrative around women’s health. Dr. Newson has been instrumental in transforming how we talk about, and treat, perimenopause and menopause.In the UK, there are around 13 million women currently going through perimenopause or menopause. That’s roughly a third of the female population, yet countless women are still struggling to get the support, care, and facts they deserve.In this episode, we dig into what perimenopause actually feels like, how symptoms like anxiety, brain fog, joint pain, and sleep disturbances are often misdiagnosed or dismissed, and why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can be life-changing.We also tackle one of the biggest myths out there: the supposed link between HRT and cancer. Spoiler alert, research now shows that for most women, HRT is not only safe, but it can significantly reduce long-term health risks like osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, mental health and more. Yet, fear and misinformation still hold too many women back.This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating midlife, going through or approaching perimenopause, supporting someone who is, or simply wanting to understand why women deserve better information, better care, and better conversations around menopause.Let’s stop allowing misinformation and fear mongering stop us from getting the right information, learning about what our options and RIGHTS are and getting the medical/health care we deserve! It will SAVE LIVES and help families.You can find Dr Lousie Newson on:Instagram: @menopause_doctor , @newson.health , @balancemenopauseWebsite: Personal: Dr Louise NewsonClinic: Testosterone in WomenPodcast: The Dr Louise Newson Podcast - Podcast - Apple PodcastsYou can follow Why Are We Whispering?
