The Thought Trap has reached a turning point. A crossroads, if you like. After 78 episodes exploring the traps we find ourselves caught up in, something is shifting.

And I have a feeling it's about to get even more interesting. In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story, reflecting on how far we've come and giving you a little glimpse of where we're heading next. Because what if there's something beyond the thought trap that we've barely begun to explore? Curious? Good. Me too.

And trust me, we're only just getting started.

If work feels like it’s kicking your butt right now, this is the episode to listen to. I had work stress coach Luke Richardson on The Thought Trap to talk about what’s really going on when work starts to feel like too much. The pressure, the people, the overthinking — and why feeling better might not require your job to change at all.

If work is taking up far too much space in your head right now, have a listen.

“Hi Becca, I’ve noticed that whenever I listen to your podcast, I really get what you’re saying — but I also seem to have a ‘yeah, but’ for almost everything… Why does my mind do that? And am I supposed to do anything with all the ‘yeah, buts’?”

This week’s episode comes from something that happened to me in the middle of the night. There was very little sleep, quite a lot of rage, an increasingly annoyed version of me and a husband who somehow managed to sleep through the entire thing. By the following morning, things took a turn I really wasn’t expecting. It’s a slightly ridiculous story, but one that ended up showing me something I think we can all relate to. Come with me on this one. It’s worth it.

I’ve got a sore throat this week, which feels strangely fitting for an episode about discomfort. Because when we feel uncomfortable — physically or psychologically — our instinct is often to make it stop. To fix it, manage it, distract from it or get rid of it. But what if discomfort isn’t the problem? In this short episode of The Thought Trap, I explore a different way of seeing those uncomfortable feelings we’re so quick to escape.Maybe discomfort is the messenger. And maybe we’ve been so busy trying to shoot the messenger, we’ve missed what it’s showing us.

What if there’s far less for us to manage than we think? In this episode, I explore what happens when our internal alarm gets activated, why the mind goes to work trying to make sense of it, and what becomes available when we give our incredible human system space to settle. Don’t take my word for it. Explore it for yourself.

Sometimes the more we try to work something out, the further away the answer seems to get. In this episode, I’m exploring that familiar pull to keep pushing when we’re getting nowhere, and what can become available when we stop forcing clarity and allow ourselves some fresh eyes. Featuring some complicated business work, some bookkeeping… and a bowl of homemade hummus (that the kids declined in the end)

A hard summer. A short temper. A few moments you wish you’d handled differently. But when did that become evidence that you’re a bad mum? In this Trap Talk, we explore the expectations, comparisons and thinking that can turn a difficult moment into a judgement about who we are
