I went a bit rouge last time and broke out of season 3 to bring you an emergency episode "Your emergency fund is not for emergencies. Ok, so what's it for?"
Today, we're back in season 3 for a deep dive into nutrition. We'll look at

- What the key macro and micro nutrients we eat do.
- Why ultra processed food is making us sick and stupid.
- The four types of food we should definitely be eating.
- Why we should grow and forage more of our own food.
- How to still eat healthily when you want to smash a litre of Ben and Jerry's.
and - What making pasta from scratch means to me.

Your emergency fund is not for emergencies! That's right. You heard me. Your emergency fund is not for emergencies.

First things first, let's get everyone up to speed on what an emergency fund is. Then we'll get to what the best use of an emergency fund is.

An emergency fund is 3-6 months living expenses set aside in an easy access account which is not your current account (you might be tempted to spend it!) so that you have some money ready for any of life's emergencies that will inevitably come up.

Common emergencies that people site are a new boiler, car repairs or maybe you lose your job and you need to pay your mortgage or rent and bills and buy food whilst you get yourself back on your feet.

These are all great reasons for having an EF. It's much better than not having one but there's a better use for it.

That's what I'm here to propose in today's episode. If you are feeling stuck in a situation you can't change then listen up to today's episode!

I'm super pumped for this episode. I grabbed the opportunity to tap into the knowledge and wisdom that Dr Caroline Horton has amassed. Caroline is a chartered psychologist, a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and a member of several academic associations. She is a reader in psychology at Bishop Grosseteste University BGU and formerly led the PhD programme there. She is now the director of Dreams Lab, based at BGU in Lincoln, UK, which undertakes projects that share the common goal of exploring sleep-related cognition.

She is also the co-director of The Lincoln Sleep Research Centre.

Before joining BGU, Caroline obtained her undergraduate and Master's degrees in Psychology from the University of Durham, her PhD from the Institute of Psychological Sciences, University of Leeds and a PGCHE from Leeds Metropolitan University. Caroline has taught at the Universities of Durham and Leeds as well as the Open University, and predominantly at Leeds Metropolitan University as a Lecturer then Senior Lecturer. Her research interests principally span the fields of sleep, dreaming, and memory, and the relationships between those concepts.

In today's episode, we tackle such questions as how much should I sleep? What happens when we sleep? How does our sleep affect our physical and mental health? How cool is lucid dreaming? What is sleep hygiene and how should we make the most of our sleep time?

A crazy idea occurred to me the other day when I was listening to Joshua Sheats on the Radical Personal Finance podcast, one of my favourite podcasts, why don't I share this so that more people can hear it!
This is the second part of chapter 3 of the audiobook I'm working on at the moment. It's The Richest Man in Babylon. If you haven't listened to chapter 1 yet then head back to episode 24 before you pick up on this one!
It's a parable set in ancient Babylon which has immense profound wisdom that is still applicable today about building streams of income and looking after our finances.

I can’t pinpoint exactly when I started thinking about conscious breathing, breath work, and how the simple act of breathing in a particular way could have such a profound effect on the body. It was probably a podcast by Ben Greenfield going into different breathing techniques, and when I tried them they had instantaneous massive effects on my body.

I’ve never even thought that breathing was something that we could do consciously. When I discovered the power of intentional breathing, it became something I wanted to pursue further.

Today we look at why breathing through your nose is far superior to breathing through your mouth, how breathing properly can help you control your body and mind and we'll look at 4 different breathing techniques for you to try at home.

Head over to find me on Instagram @dafyddmorse and @lifetothefullpodcast and say hello! What breathing techniques do you use?

This August brings something different to the podcast or rather something of the same to the podcast. As part of living life to the full, I like to take a month off to be with my family during August. This year, again, we are in France for the month. We’re doing two home exchanges so our accommodation costs are negligible. It means that we basically get to stay in someone’s home for free whilst someone stays in our home. If you want a bit of a rundown on how you can holiday for free then check out episode 21 of the podcast or you can search for Dafydd Morse on YouTube and I have a video there if you prefer that. Or listen to both!

Inspired by Paula Pant’s September sabbatical I’m putting out the most popular episodes and my favourite episodes from the archives just in case you are a new listener and haven’t gone back to the beginning or even just as a reminder of some of the good stuff from the past, which is worth reminding ourselves of.

Today we revisit episode 16. The most popular guest that's been on the podcast, Joshua from The Art of Money and Communication podcast and I talk all things rules for the money game, side hustles, financial evangelism, investing, faith and relationships and looking outside of ourselves. Please enjoy.

Today we revisit episode 15. It's one of my personal favourites and it's absolutely fundamental to your financial health. Understanding what to do with money is one of the easiest keys to start to unlock a life you are excited about living. Please enjoy.

Are you driven by facts? Or are you driven by story? What's the difference these days? This is an important question to consider in a world where story matters more than facts. Here's a throwback to one of my favourite episodes, my interview with Andy Chevalier. Please enjoy!
