"Are You Being Mindful – Or Is Your Mind Just Full?"

In this episode, Smith & Mayhew dive headfirst into the world of mindfulness, meditation, and mental resilience — but don’t worry, it’s not all incense and chanting. The lads discuss how mindfulness has shaped their daily routines, the difference between healthy standards and obsessive habits, and why it's actually powerful to just sit still with your own thoughts (even if it’s bloody uncomfortable). Mayhew shares insights from his recent meditation teacher training, including the teachings of Jon Kabat-Zinn, silent Zoom sessions, and the unexpected power of wiggling your fingers in a Yorkshire accent.

From ADHD to mobile phone dependency, they explore how men can start taking back control of their attention and inner calm — one deep breath at a time. Warning: contains unsolicited bush trimming, poo parties, and a few spiritual epiphanies!
