Begin Again with Davina McCall

This is what it takes to begin again when you feel like you’ve lost everything.

In this powerful episode, comedian Seann Walsh opens up about the reality behind the laughs, his turbulent childhood, addiction, and public shaming, and how hitting rock bottom forced him to rebuild his entire life from scratch.

Seann shares how sobriety became the turning point that reconnected him with the version of himself he lost in the chaos: the ten-year-old boy who just wanted to make people laugh. He talks honestly about feeling like a failure at the height of success, the deep shame that followed and how he slowly found his way back, not to who he was, but to someone stronger.

From becoming a father to falling in love with Grace, Seann reveals the real moments that brought him peace, purpose, and a new path forward.

Whether you’re navigating addiction, public failure, or just trying to start over, this episode will show you what it really means to heal.

Seann Walsh will be on tour across the UK with his brand-new show This Is Torture from 13th February, with tickets on sale now at https://www.seannwalsh.com

Reset Month 5: HAPPINESS

This month, we dive deep into a powerful and often overlooked tool for healing: asking for help. In this episode of Reset Month, Nadia and Katia, renowned for their work on nervous system regulation and self-care, share how the simple act of vulnerability can be life-changing.

Many of us are stuck in “fight or flight,” constantly feeling like we’re running on empty and unable to truly connect with ourselves or others. Nadia and Katia explain why you are not broken, you just need to learn how to reset your nervous system, and that starts by letting go of the need to do it all alone.

Through personal stories, including their journey to self-awareness and the profound lessons learned from their own relationship dynamics, they reveal how co-regulation, the act of supporting and being supported by others, can bring us back to a place of safety, connection, and peace.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

- How to recognise the signs of an overwhelmed nervous system

- Why asking for help is the first step to healing

- The surprising benefits of co-regulation and how it transforms your relationships

- How to embrace vulnerability without fear or guilt

- The simple daily practices that reset your nervous system and bring you back to balance

- How tiny moments can change your life

Whether you’re dealing with stress, emotional overwhelm, or simply want to live a more connected and fulfilling life, this episode will guide you to a path of self-compassion and mutual support. Nadia and Katia’s insights are a must-watch for anyone wanting to break free from constant tension and start living with ease and love again.

Reset Month 4: ALIGN 

Why Your Body Isn’t Broken, It’s Confused.
In this powerful episode of Begin Again, movement expert Roger Frampton challenges everything we’ve been told about aging, pain, and flexibility. If you've ever thought, “My body just isn’t what it used to be,” this conversation will make you rethink what’s really going on.
Roger reveals how our modern world, from the way we sit to how we exercise, has deprogrammed our bodies from moving the way they were designed to. He explains why it's not your age that's holding you back, but decades of learned stillness, and how to take your mobility back at any stage of life.
From the shocking truth about when we start losing natural movement (it’s earlier than you think), to why the gym might be doing more harm than good, this episode is full of game-changing insights. You’ll also learn:
-The daily habit that’s more important than working out
-Why mobility is as easy and essential as brushing your teeth
- What “training for your 80-year-old self” really looks like

Whether you're recovering from injury, struggling with stiffness, or just want to move and feel better for the long haul, this episode will inspire you to rethink your body, and your future.

Through her approach, she shows how small, sustainable changes can lead to freedom in not just food, but any area of life where you're looking to break free from old patterns.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone ready to reset their habits and find a more balanced, compassionate way to live.
