    We also have a bit of a deep dive into the importance of personal boundaries while being open and honest with her audience. She reflects on the impact of social media on self-perception, the importance of authenticity, and the supportive community she has built!

  • The Boy Who Lived with David Holmes
    Nov 12 2024

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop


    Today's episode is an incredibly special one as I'm joined by the incredible David Holmes


    David is an actor, artist, stuntman, podcaster, and now author of 'The Boy Who Lived.'


    He joins me for a waffle about his journey so far, the writing process, how he became Daniel Radcliffe's stunt double on the Harry Potter series, and how he navigates the world after a devastating accident left him instantly paralysed.


    David's story is a story of determination, inspiration, and humour, and it was an honour to hear it firsthand. I first heard of David after I watched his documentary with my Mum. For followers of the podcast, you will know my Mum is also in a position where she requires 24-hour care after an operation went wrong. David's documentary was incredibly inspiring for us as a family and for the first time in a long time, we had hope


    We also had a waffle about all things mental health, coping mechanisms, and of course music.


    I really hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did and please make sure you get a copy of his brand new book, The Boy Who Lived

  • Mental Masturbation, ADHD and Inside A Mind with Tom McCormick!
    Nov 5 2024

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop


    Today we are straight from winning at The Independent Podcast Awards to the studio with fellow podcaster Tom McCormick!


    Tom joins me for a waffle about his brilliant podcast 'Inside A Mind', which aims to provide relatable conversations about mental health struggles and provides some incredible tools that the listener can implement


    We also delve into Tom's ADHD journey and the misconceptions surrounding it. ADHD seems to be a bit of a buzzword at the moment, so it was refreshing to hear Tom's take on the diagnosis process and the dangers of social media's impact on self-diagnosing


    The conversation also touches on the need for boundaries to protect mental well-being, the struggle with work-life balance, and the concept of 'mental masturbation' in productivity.


    I really hope you enjoy it!

  • Liar Liar Pants on Fire!
    Sep 25 2024

    Welcome to The Waffle Shop!


    In this week's episode, myself and Emma dive deep into the topic of Lying!


    We explore the complexities of lying, from little white lies to the moral dilemmas we all face when deciding whether to be honest. From piano playing to Hedge Pigs, we discuss the lies we told when we were younger, right through to the lies we were told as kids!


    The big questions, however, are: Is withholding the truth the same as lying? And have you ever seen a Hedge Pig?


    As always, we would love to hear what you think! Drop us a DM or email taylor@waffleshoppodcast to be involved!
