The New Mind

This is one of the most difficult, yet important conversations we’ve ever had on The New Mind Podcast.
This episode explores the reality of abuse within the home, the psychological impact of prolonged trauma, and what it takes to survive something that should never happen.
This is not shared for shock.
It is shared for awareness, understanding, and truth.
Because silence protects harm.
And truth is where healing begins.
If this conversation resonates with you, or you know someone who needs to hear it, share it.
You are not alone.
⸻
⚠️ Viewer discretion advised. This episode discusses themes of abuse and trauma.

This is The New Mind. Where truth meets the human story… Enjoy!

What happens when three men sit down and tell the truth, without filters, without performance, and without hiding behind the versions of themselves they once needed to survive…
This episode focuses on three powerful minds for conversations that go far beyond surface level insight.
We explore the reality of addiction, not just as behaviour, but as a response to pain that has not yet been metabolised.
We unpack abuse and narcissistic dynamics, looking at how they shape identity, attachment, and the nervous system.
We move into growth, what it actually takes to face yourself, to dismantle patterns, and to rebuild from a place of awareness rather than survival.
And we speak about love….the grounded, honest, sometimes uncomfortable truth of what it means to give and receive it in a healthy way.
This is real, reflective, and at times confronting.
If you have ever struggled with patterns you can’t seem to break.
If you have questioned your relationships, your past, or your identity.
If you are on a path of growth and want to understand yourself at a deeper level….This episode will meet you where you are.
Listen with openness…Take what resonates.

Before Lola Massingham was selling luxury homes and appearing on Netflix, her life looked very different.
She grew up around domestic violence, and the man responsible later took his own life.
Most people would spend years just trying to recover from experiences like that.
But by the tender age of 24 Lola had stepped into one of the most competitive industries in the world, working within the world of exclusive prime property.”
Today we’re talking about resilience, reinvention, and how someone rebuilds their life when their beginning looked nothing like their future.

Danny Harkins was convicted of serious criminal offences involving coercion, intimidation, kidnapping and violence. This episode doesn’t excuse or justify that reality….
What happened in prison changed Danny….
Punishment didn’t change him….Reading did.
While in prison, Danny turned to literature, specifically the novels of Emily Brontë and Charlotte Brontë.
The Brontë sisters wrote about obsession, moral consequence, unchecked power, violence and the cost of uncontained desire. 
Reading Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre in a prison cell becomes an encounter with the self, not an escape from it.
We explore:
• the psychology of serious criminality and identity collapse,
• how Victorian literature can awaken conscience,
• why reading can force moral reckoning where authority cannot,

This episode is about criminal psychology, conscience formation, literature as moral confrontation, and the uncomfortable truth that real change begins internally or not at all.
This is not a redemption story…..It is a reckoning.
