Do Good Podcast

Today’s episode of the Do Good Podcast is a profound & thought-provoking conversation with psychoanalyst Erica Komisar, and it explores some deeply meaningful ideas about parenting, motherhood, and emotional development. We talk about why the first three years of a child’s life are so foundational, and how a secure attachment with a parent—especially a mother—can shape a child’s mental health and personality for years to come. Erica doesn’t shy away from big topics either—we get into the impact of the feminist movement, how modern society undervalues the role of mothers, and why being emotionally present for our kids matters more than we think. Her thought-provoking insights challenge the status quo and remind us of the profound power of presence, sacrifice, and love in raising emotionally healthy children.

Simon Esler fights for free thought with every tool he has. After building a free thinking, 14 thousand member think tank on Facebook, Simon was censored across social media for challenging official narratives. In response, he pivoted his focus to providing content to freedom oriented streaming platforms, refining his skills as a researcher, content creator and filmmaker within private communities. After almost half a decade of writing, shooting and editing original content focused on modern warfare from a psychological, cultural and spiritual perspective, Simon decided to release his first independent project for the public at large: CUT - Daughters of the West, which is an investigation into cosmetic surgery, feminist sexual liberation, and modern media trends as part of a warped legacy that was being handed to young girls as a foundation for gender ideology to take hold. In this episode, we delve into: - Simon’s background - His film CUT - Daughters of the West - What’s behind the trans-agenda - 5th generation warfare and how it’s being used on teenagers - The war on the family unit - The power of the silent majority - Unschooling - The importance of rite of passage in our children’s development - Plus plenty more!

In today’s show, I sit down again with Dr. Anton Krige, who is a medical doctor, multiple Ironman finisher, and functional medicine specialist. In this episode, we dive deep into what it’s like to work closely with Anton and how he transforms his patient's health and well-being. We used me as the case study in this one and it was eye-opening to get the results back from some of the tests I did (particularly finding out that my biological age is 29 which isn’t bad for a 40-something guy). And there were plenty of other fascinating insights I found out about which I’ve been able to integrate into my daily routine. Anton treats those with complex chronic conditions as well as those who wish to optimise sports performance whilst maintaining health & wellness using his research skills and experience to incorporate cutting-edge research findings in both health and exercise physiology. Anton was previously on the show in episode 68 in case anyone wants to hear a more wide-ranging interview on health and some of the key lifestyle factors for transforming it, the latest tech you can use to improve your health as well as what an ideal day looks like to turn around your metabolic health.

In today’s episode, I dive deep into the challenging times we are living through, and even though it can appear on the surface that everything is in chaos, it’s a time of great transformation. This podcast is about shedding light on the good that is happening around the world (gods know we need it right now). However, that doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the ground when we are seeing injustices, lies, deceit and coercion happening right in front of our eyes. I see the old systems breaking down, and as they are, the old power structure will do everything in its power to maintain its grip. Which we are seeing with the authoritarian measure that has swept the planet in recent times. I share how I’ve seen the past 18 months unfold and how I believe a lot of the measures in place are in fact anti-health, which are disempowering and riddled with fear-mongering from our governments and media. It is often when we are pushed into a corner that we realise what is important to us. We are at a crossroads on the planet right now, and we all have to decide what path we are going down and the kind of world we wish to live on. I for one, am choosing a life of freedom, peace, connection, community and enlightenment. We all have a choice, we are powerful beings with so much to offer to the world, and there is a place for all of us in playing a part in the solutions.

In today's episode, I welcome Charlotte Davies on the show who is an acclaimed Spirit Medium. It’s a bit left-field this episode, although anyone who’s listened to my podcast for a while will be aware of my spiritual beliefs and that this life is far more magical than we were lead to believe. But that aside, it’s certainly different to other kinds of guests I’ve had on the show and I just ask that you keep an open mind as hear Charlotte’s story. She shares some of the mind-bending stories from readings she’s given to people allowing them to connect with loved ones who may no longer be in physical form but still exist in the non-physical realms. After having a reading with her early this year it left no doubt in my mind that she is tapped in to other realms and the information she brings through is genuine. Charlotte talks about how this all began in childhood, the challenges she faced in her early years dealing with these extrasensory abilities, and how she came to terms with it and has allowed it to be a force for good in her life.
