Ever braved the biting cold and found yourself wishing for a warmer adventure? Let me guide you through my own frostbitten mishaps and the crucial wisdom they've frozen into my memory. My travels to the icy realms of Norway, Sweden, and Canada, along with a nail-biting ascent of Kilimanjaro, have taught me the hard way that preparation is key to not just enjoying, but surviving in cold environments. I'll be unpacking the layers of my journey, from the dangers lurking in underestimated weather to the lifesaving gear and strategies that kept me warm.

When the sun dips below the horizon and the cold starts to creep in, a good night's sleep can feel like a distant dream. In this chat, I'll spill the secrets to turning that dream into reality with the right sleeping setup. Listen as I recount my own night-time blunders and how they led me to discover the wonders of a four-season sleeping bag, the underestimated power of a sleeping bag liner, and the thermal magic of a simple hat. You'll hear why hot water bottles can become your best friend in the great outdoors, and how the right thermals can mean the difference between shivering and snoozing in blissful warmth.

Wrapping up our thermal voyage, I'll share the essential cold weather gear checklist that should accompany any thrill-seeker facing the frost. From the necessity of smart wool socks to the innovative hot rock that soothes your hands while charging your phone, I've got you covered. And it's not just about what you wear—what you eat plays a pivotal role too, as I'll explain the caloric firepower needed to fuel your body's natural furnace. Join me, and arm yourself with the knowledge to embrace the chill and turn winter woes into wondrous escapades.

Backseat Positivity

"Able to make serious topics lighthearted and fun - I even laughed at some points!"Get your bi-weekly dose of positivity in this fun podcast with Dr Dawn Barlow, who helps you navigate all of the weird/best/worst parts of life!Dawn takes you on the self-improvement journey you didn't realise you needed... Bought to you by a doctor who hasn't had life as sweet as many of her comrades. She knows firsthand just how rubbish life can be, yet has managed to turn her life around for the better! From relationships to mental health to happiness, make sure you buckle up twice a week (Mondays and Thursdays) the join her and her guests for candid self-improvement. Don't forget of the course, the "weird thoughts" segment, where Dawn and her guests share weird thoughts from their lives. Dawn says: Sometimes life reminds me of being in a washing machine. It's a bit spinny and turbulent for a while, but then it stops and gives you a little break before spinning you into oblivion once more. It feels like the washing machine wants to wash something bad out of all of us... positivity. Some might EVEN say that positivity is shouting from the backseat and no-one wants to listen to it... [backseat positivity] More than once a week, but less than 4 times a week, you can shove me in your auditory canals and listen to me chat about L.I.F.E., self-improvement, mental health and anything else that my little monkey-mind paws can grasp onto. Sometimes other humans actually dare to join me. It's candid, it's fun. Woo!
