Neville Longbottom certainly learns to stand up for himself during his time at Hogwarts. But there is more to Mr Longbottom than meets the eye.
In this episode, I make the case for Neville being more heroic, more of a role model for fighting bullies than Hagrid, Hermione or even Harry himself.
Listen in and hear why I make this bold claim, as well as explain the two lessons that Neville has for us in helping us stand up to people.

Do you long to accept yourself, but have no idea how to do this?
Would you like to develop emotional resilience and navigate life more powerfully?
Would you like to learn how to stand up for yourself and say no without being aggressive?
Do you want to build your self confidence in a real way, without having to fake it til you make it?
Would you like to learn how to put food out of the job of life manager?
Do you want to learn how to become the role model that you long to be?
Who Is This Programme For?
I have designed this programme for empaths.
An empath is someone who has a strong tendancy to soak up others’ emotions. There are many positive aspects to being an empath such as an ability to read people well and high intuition. However, most empaths are so weighed down by how their emotional sponge nature has taken over their lives that they fall into the habit of people pleasing, finding it hard to say no and stand up for themselves.
The aim of this transformative 8 weeks is to shift how you are showing up in the world by learning to rein in these disempowering behaviours and start playing to your strengths.
How The Programme Works
This programme has two separate strands.
#1 The Empath Sessions
Managing your empath nature, self acceptance and how to start showing up in more powerful ways so that life becomes rewarding instead of draining for you.
1 x 90 minute Zoom session a week over 8 weeks
#2 Eating Psychology Sessions
Put food out of the job it was never meant to do.
This part of the programme comprises 4 x 90 minute sessions that give a solid foundation of how to eat better using the principles of eating psychology. You will dive in and try out doable food-rebel proof changes that are not too extreme. These changes have been shown time and again to reduce cravings and binge eating. We look at the HOW of eating, which is a hugely underrated part of reclaiming your life from food. I devote a whole session to sugar and give you some practical ways to free yourself from those little white granules.
IMPORTANT: If you have worked with me previously, or you do not have eating issues, you can choose to omit part 2.The programme fees will be reduced by 25% if you opt to just attend the empath sessions

BONUS: Managing Life's Curveballs with Catherine Rains
An interview that makes no mention of Harry Potter – yes, it’s true! I interview artist Catherine Rains and we discuss nothing to do with the boy wizard. BUT I wanted to bring you this interview because I extracted so much wisdom from it. Catherine is an amazing human being who has just as many life lessons for us as Harry himself.
Find out more about Catherine here https://catherinerains.com/
And on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/catrains.artist/
At the end of the interview, I make some remarks about how what is discussed relates to the world of Hogwarts. In particular
*Catherine’s double pronged non resistance and how we see this in The Deathly Hallows
*The passage from childhood to adulthood
Some highlights from this interview:
How to be unintentionally intentional
The five words anyone can use in a negative situation to feel more empowered
Catherine’s epiphany about non resistance
The non linear nature of change.
How she diverted her energy to sidestep jealousy and intended her way to the job of her dreams
Why affirmations don’t work for so many people - because they are doing this thing alongside the affirmation
Her strategy for releasing fear and dread after her cancer diagnosis (I have never heard this from anyone else)
How she developed compassion for her husband in the midst of her divorce but still shielded herself from his manipulation
Her hilarious way of managing old resentments

The death of Harry’s godfather is in my opinion the biggest blow to Harry of the entire 7 books. Today I ask: what would have happened if Sirius had NOT died? And what lessons do we glean from the tragedy? What would we have lost that is perhaps useful to our own escape from anxiety and depression if The Order Of The Phoenix had not ended the way it did?
