7: Former British Vogue Beauty Editor: She Followed Her Intuition & Founded a Wellness Brand | Kelly Gilbert

Wed, 02 Sep 2026 07:00:00 +0100

In this episode, Matt & Corisande sit down with Kelly Gilbert, the former British Vogue beauty and health editor turned founder of The What Supp Co, to unpack a story that goes from finding out she was pregnant while sitting her A-levels at 18, to talking her way onto a fashion course with her baby in a pushchair, to becoming one of the most trusted beauty editors in the country, entirely on her own terms.

They get into the night Kelly watched someone else pitch her own business idea to the Dragons on Dragon's Den, the “override” state that took over in the weeks that followed and pushed her to finally build The What Supp Co, and how a cold email and a lot of tenacity got her products onto shelves in Boots less than two years after launch.

Matt & Corisande, with Kelly Gilbert, discuss:

How Kelly talked her way onto a fashion course with her baby in a pushchair after missing the application deadline
The fax machine “ransom note” and the blue CV that got her hired first in PR, then at British Vogue
Watching someone else pitch her own business idea on Dragon's Den, and the “why can't I ever see anything through” spiral that followed
The mystical “override” state Kelly describes taking over her actions for weeks after she first got in touch with Matt
How The What Supp Co's vitamin patches actually work, and why she designed them to be seen rather than hidden
Getting Protect Your Energy into Boots less than two years after launching, and the manifestation behind landing a meeting with Sephora's global VP

6: An Unplanned Akashic Reading Blew My Mind at Our First Retreat | Matt & Corisande Cooke

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 05:00:00 -0400

Fresh back from hosting the first-ever Beyond Retreat in New York’s Hudson Valley, Matt and Corisande unpack what happened when 32 strangers came together for three days of manifestation, meditation and something neither of them quite expected.

They share how the retreat went from an idea sparked by a skimmed Forbes article and a casual Instagram DM to an experience they spent more than a year building, and how, within just 48 hours, a group of people who had arrived knowing almost no one began to feel completely in sync.

But what happened in the middle of the retreat left Matt stunned.

On August 8th, immediately after teaching a new manifestation formula he describes as a “map” for navigating the probability of your future, Matt spontaneously booked an Akashic Records reading. During the session, he was told about a past life in 16th-century Portugal in which he had been… a mapmaker, using the stars to help people navigate across oceans towards unknown lands.

The coincidence stopped him in his tracks.

In this episode, Matt and Corisande explore that extraordinary experience, the strange science of synchronisation and why 17th-century pendulum clocks may offer a fascinating metaphor for what happens when people share the same space, intention and rhythm.

They also take you inside the emotional final night of the retreat, an impromptu fire ceremony to release what no longer belonged in their future, and the bigger lesson they both came home with: sometimes the life waiting for you only becomes visible when you're willing to move beyond the edge of what already feels safe.

Matt & Corisande discuss:

How a skimmed Forbes article and a casual Instagram DM turned into their first ever retreat, and the year they spent hesitating before committing to it
The completely unexpected Akashic Records reading Matt had on the 8th of August, the Lionsgate portal, and what it revealed about a past life spent making maps in 16th-century Portugal
The nine square meditation and fire release ceremony that closed out the retreat's final night
The pendulum clock experiment that explains why a room of strangers starts moving in sync within 24 to 48 hours
Why Matt & Corisande believe authenticity means never hosting anywhere they wouldn't go themselves
Getting comfortable with change, and why a feeling of nerves is often just your body's way of processing it

5: You're Manifesting What You Tolerate! Break the Pattern with Rapid Tapping | Poppy Delbridge

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Matt & Corisande sit down with Poppy Delbridge, author of Unlock Your Power and Tapping In, and creator of Rapid Tapping. They talk about what happens when someone who seemingly has it all, a fast-tracked TV career, marriage, a young family, gets knocked completely off her own baseline. Poppy opens up about the autoimmune breakdown that left her desperately unwell - unable to open her eyes some days, and the "imps" she now teaches thousands of people to recognise as the loud, subtle voices running the show without them ever realising it.

They get into the difference between EFT and Rapid Tapping, the neuroscience of why only 3 to 5% of who we are is conscious, and the moment Poppy declared something "done" on a whim and ended up filming the world's first tapping session in the air for Virgin Atlantic.

Matt & Corisande, with Poppy Delbridge, discuss:

The "imps" Poppy says are running the show for most of us, and why they're often too subtle to notice
What actually happened to Poppy's body during her autoimmune breakdown, and how she found her way back
Why Poppy believes we manifest who we're being, not what we want
The difference between EFT and Rapid Tapping, and why Poppy built her own method
How saying something is "done" led Poppy to filming the first ever tapping session in the air for Virgin Atlantic
Why Poppy believes you're not broken, even when the imps are convinced you are

4: The Crystal Expert: Crystals Cleared £30,000 Of His Debt! | Mart Tweedy, founder of Canny Crystals

Wed, 12 Aug 2026 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Matt & Corisande sit down with Mart Tweedy, the crystal expert behind Candy Crystals, to unpack a story that starts in a County Durham mining village with no money and no internet, and ends with a business built almost entirely on following the breadcrumbs the universe left behind. They get into how a decade and a half spent in NHS mental health, working with people through psychosis and schizophrenia, shaped the way Mart now teaches manifestation, and why he doesn't call himself a coach at all.

They talk through the exact bathtub visualisation that manifested a fully-funded trip to Thailand, the £27,000 Chanel payment that arrived the day after Mart asked the universe to show him he could finally leave the NHS, and how a phrase from his granddad, said almost as a throwaway line, became the name of a business that's since processed 60,000 orders.

Matt & Corisande, with Mart Tweedy, discuss:

Why Mart doesn't call himself a manifestation coach, and what 15 years in NHS mental health taught him that most coaches never learn
The bathtub visualisation Mart used to manifest a fully-paid trip to Thailand, and the exact number he needed to see appear
The Chanel payment that landed the day after Mart asked the universe to show him he could leave the NHS
How a phrase from his granddad accidentally became the name of a 60,000-order crystal business
The moment Mart realised his crystals were sitting on a table next to Madonna and Miley Cyrus
Why Mart believes people give away their power the moment they stop being open to where the breadcrumbs are actually leading them

3: Dream Smaller to Manifest Faster | Matt & Corisande Cooke

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Matt and Corisande open up the Beyond community mailbox and answer the questions they get asked most: how to manifest as a couple without losing your own vision, how to break a huge goal into steps without falling into "controlling the how," and where the real line sits between aligned action and forcing an outcome.

They get into the moment Matt found out he'd accidentally manifested a second book deal, the surfboard analogy they use to stay on the same frequency as each other, and why getting comfortable is usually the clearest sign it's time to move.

Matt & Corisande discuss:

How to manifest with a partner who has a different vision to your own, without losing either of them
Why the smallest step toward a big goal is rarely the obvious one, and how to actually find it
The four things Matt calls the "magic factor," and why most manifestations stall on just one of them
The email that revealed Matt had manifested a second Penguin Random House book deal without realising it
The surfboard analogy Matt and Corisande use to stay on the same frequency as each other
Where the real line sits between aligned action and forcing an outcome, and how to tell which one you're doing

2: London's Top Aesthetics Expert: I manifested everything with zero fear | Dr Nina Bal

Wed, 29 Jul 2026 02:00:00 -0400

In this episode, Matt & Corisande sit down with Dr Nina Bal, the facial aesthetics specialist behind one of the UK's most in-demand clinics, to unpack the story most people never hear: a stutter she couldn't speak through, a basement job paying £17 for three hours, and a seven-year-old in an Italian mountain village who somehow already knew she'd be financially free. They get into the strange gap between Nina's two selves, someone with zero fear building a business from nothing, and someone who still second-guesses her own worth at home, and what that split reveals about the difference between fear and intuition.

Dr Nina Bal explains:

How a childhood stutter shaped the woman who now built a career on making people feel seen
Why Nina knew, long before she had the language for manifestation, that she'd have financial independence and marry a foreigner
The £17-per-three-hours basement job that came right before everything changed
Why Nina feels zero fear in her business but constant self-doubt in her personal life, and what that duality actually means
The moment she rented an empty room with not one single appointment booked, and knew it would work anyway
Why she's stopped chasing awards for herself and started building her team and other women up instead

1: Your Future Already Exists: The meditation that changed everything | Matt & Corisande Cooke

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 02:00:00 -0400

Welcome to Beyond Podcast with husband and wife manifestation experts, author and coach Matt Cooke and creative director, Corisande Cooke.

In the first episode, Corisande reveals the method she used to perceive the podcast in meditation, weeks before it existed, and why she thinks your body already knows things your mind hasn't caught up to yet.

They get into the science of presentiment, the quantum field, and why every version of your life might already exist, waiting to be chosen. It's a conversation about time, intuition, and what happens when you learn to see your future before it arrives.

Matt & Corisande discuss:

Why every version of your life, including the ones you didn't choose, already exists somewhere
The real reason Dr Dean Radin's presentiment experiments changed how Matt thinks about time
Why your body reacts to your future before your mind ever finds out
How Corisande saw their podcast studio in meditation before they'd even planned to make one
The specific way she manifested a pair of Tom Ford glasses for Matt without him asking
Why "seeing it first" might be the real secret to manifesting faster
