This week on The Big D, we sit down with Riordan Maynard—once a high-flying entrepreneur behind major global business ventures, now helping others develop mental resilience and love the life they live with his mindfort.co system. After a life-altering legal tax battle led to a sentence of six and a half years in a US federal prison, Riordan lost everything: his business, his freedom, and his sense of self. But what he found inside changed everything.

In this episode, he shares how he rebuilt from rock bottom, the toll it took on his family, and the mindset shift that turned survival into strength. It’s a conversation about disruption, identity, and what it really takes to start again when everything’s been stripped away.

On this episode of The Big D, Ateh and Buzzy sit down with Elizabeth Shaw, also known to many as @coachelizabethshaw. Elizabeth is a relational psychotherapist who specialises in the difficult dynamics many people struggle to name, from narcissistic abuse and gaslighting to the emotional aftermath of a relationship breakdown. With warmth and clarity, she helps people recognise the patterns that keep them stuck and shows them how to reclaim their voice when they’ve lost their sense of self. In this powerful conversation, Elizabeth unpacks how narcissistic relationships take hold, why they can be so hard to leave, and how healing begins. Together, they explore how the pieces left behind after heartbreak can be transformed into something brighter, stronger and entirely your own.

This week on The Big D, we’re joined by Katie Brindle, founder of Hayo’u, best selling author, and the woman who brought Gua Sha into the mainstream. After a devastating car accident derailed her dream of becoming an opera singer, Katie discovered Chinese medicine on London’s King’s Road and rebuilt her life from the inside out. Now a master of Yang Sheng, she shares why true beauty starts within, how to protect your internal empires, and why no matter how dark things feel, you’re always just one minute away from a reset.
