The Big Idea with Alistair GreenJul 6, 2026 — starts at 0:00

Podcast where you all love them. Whether it's a mainstream television presenter and a reality show star talking about their favourite thing or whatever, all the way to the stand upp comedian Jimmy Carr, discussing the merits of capitalism for some reason It really is a treat to hear from celebrities who are already ubiquitous on television, dominating a whole new form of media as well Look us inform us, they entertain us, and they also apparently make a huge amount of money for the hosts, although obviously that's not as important as the inform and entertain thing that I said before That's why I have started my own podcast where I interview the most popular and influential figures from the worlds of business, entertainment, literature and politics in order to get to the truth of the big idea That's the title by the way,'s just meant to sound sort of. Anyway Big Iea with Alista Green, sponsored by Are you OK Mental Health Have you accidentally got drunk and posted something offensive on social media revealing your true views No problem Simply contact us today and find out how you can blame it on your mental health Are you okay mental health Asolving you of any responsibility for your actions, even though you definitely meant it. Hello, hello, hello and welcome to the Big Idea with Alista Green, the podcast that really sorts of it kind of gets under the skin of U you know, anyyway, today, I'm very excited to say we are taking a look at the world of health and wellness. And goodness me, we all need a bit of that these days of the way the world is now. Now the wellness industry is huge and it's worth a whopping one hundred seventy billion pounds to the UK economy. Wouldn't mind a piece of that pie myself And here to tell us all about that and her own hugely successful wellness brand called The Whisper, I'm delighted to say is Tabeta Beckworth Sabitha Welcome So Tabatha, you are a lot of different things, aren't you? as well as being a massively successful CEO of your own brand, the Whisper, you are also a yoga instructor. a social media influencer, a nutritionist Riritual advisor In fact, you've got so many professions to your name here. I half expected it was going to say firefighter or something as well Sorry, I'm not a firefighter Right so Your wellness company, the Whisper, as well as a YouTube channel, which has got three point two million subscribers You also have a website that sells various health supplements, bathing products, and most importantly, the Whisper Online courses. That's what you're most well known for around the world So Could you tell us what exactly is the whisper Let me put it this way Ganileo knew it Christ knew it Da Vinci knew it. Right. Okaykay U sorry, what what did they know exactly Whisper. Okay I say Sorry, I'm just trying to understand what exactly is the Whisper then Einstein knew it Toven knew it. Yeah. okay, I get that. Plato knew it, Fern Cotton knew it. Sorry, just with respect for the people listening, what is it? It is a set of principles passed down through the generations only to a select few who are able to realize their true potential. But that whisper is available to everyone Tune in It is put quite simply The law of attraction Okay, got there in the end. So how would you describe the law of attraction to anyone not familiar? Well, sorry, just before you answer. not who knew it. What is it, if that's okay Well The law of attraction Quite simply is the ability of all of us to manifest our desires. OK Fairty straightforward. So how does one go about manifesting one's desires It means that simply by visualizing your dreams You'll be able to achieve them V. Um visualizing them It's okay to be confused at first. Okay, yeah I guuess I am a bit. Perhaps you could give an example to help me. Of course So I recently suffered from an abscess in my rear molar tooth for three months before I managed to fix it and be pain free using purely the power of positive thinking. Wow, really That really is incredible, yes I simply imagined my tooth getting better And four months later and it was actually very strange and powerful A letter arrived from the dentist that I needed to book in for a checkup And I did And I got the tooth fixed And that's the power of the Whisper Right Okay, u Sorry, the letter Is that not just your annual dental check up letter And here's the uncanny thing The letter arrived a year to the day since my last letter from the dentist I'm actually getting goosebumps myself here But that's the power of the universe. Yeah, sorry, that's what I was saying really I think that's just the annual dental checkup The letter. Remember There are no coincidences. Right. mean I think there are sometimes. Wow The Whisper has been endorsed by people like DepPack Shopra and Russell Brand, just to pick two examples at random And I hardly think they'd be wrong, Do you? You're listening to the B big idea with Alista Green Sponsored by Are you OK Mental Health? Don't worry, honestly, just don't worry I think the best thing to do to get a clearer idea, perhaps something tangible that people can understand Would you mind reading a section of part of that course for us Yes, that's a good idea Okay, so here we are. to one Beginnings Van Gogh knew it Isaac, Yeah maybe not that bit. Perhaps a different chapter this time Let's try to seven Alignment. Okay, sounds great. what's that about then? Well, this is the practical advice section to enable people to fulfil their personal potential and dreams. A o, I think that's what we want. Let's get into this. Go ahead If we walk Can we still run If we sing, can we still dream In order to achieve true manifestation We must both transcend and submit to the cosmos of realization Okay. u Thank you for that Sorry, this is the practical advice section, is it? Yes. The aim is to encourage the individual to realize they are the center of the universe and what we call The main character Right, right. And Presumably by becoming the main character, they can then be a more well rounded individual and have a more positive impact on society No, no, the key thing is for the individual to focus on their inner self I'm afraid society is lost. Um I mean, some people say that mental health and wellbe are linked to economic conditions. So A fairer society is generally a happier society, maybe? No, no, no. As I say The focus must be on the individual become the main character. Society in general, I'm afraid is unsalvageable Yeah You said that. What exactly do you mean by that? I think you know exactly what I mean. Not really But anyway, regardless of that, I mean, not everyone can be the main character surely. No J just the individuals who take our course. Right And the people who don't take the course are not the main character. Yes, of course Okay, well, I suppose if it helps people in some way. Yes. But unfortunately, some people don't want to be helpld. As someone from the WisSper community recently passed away sadly from cancer despite my best efforts to help them. Oh my go. I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, he was being treated with chemotherapy when he joined us, but Fortunately, I managed to convince him to immediately stop that treatment and buy one of our alternative health courses instead Sorry, did you say you told him to stop chemotherapy? Yes, I had a very strong feeling that our method was the better one a feeling But you know it's You know, it's a proven fact that chemotherapy can save lives if've caught early enough. Yes. But as I said I had a feeling Yeah, I I heard that but ing Yes, a very strong one O, but a feeling isn't as important as, you know medical intervention. Well Look at it this way What's really more important Facts O feelings. feelings Yes, and Towards the end, I told him his illness was very negatively affecting my aura in detrimental ways, so I would have to cut him off. Right say Pancer does tend to be a bit of a downer, doesn't it? Yes, and he didn't take it well at first time, afraid whichich made me wonder if he'd done something in a previous life to behave like that But I did convince him to leave a portion of his will to the Whisper community to pay penitence for that Although he couldn't respond I think he took some comfort in that. As did I. Just move away from feelings for a minute and try to get back on track It's u Why don't we talk about your online shop a bit?? Because you opted to have a purely online business, didn't you? not a traditional bricks and mortar shop. Why was that A number of reasons really Rentss are very expensive for shops now? Yeah, ye, that's true. We can also have an easily laid out and wider product selection with an online shop. Okay, makes sense. Most importantly We don't have to be part of the WEF agenda to build fifteen mininute cities Sorry, the Yes, fififteen minines Cities. It's part of a global government plan whereby they build new cities and towns and want everything to be accessible in fifteen minutes. Yes, I'm familiar with the term fifteen mininute cities, but it's really nothing sinister. Fory me So naive No idea you were this brainwashed by the mainstream media U Okay, let's u Let's just talk about the product range a bit to kind of stay on track. So tell us a bit about the sort of products you stock then. We sell a large selection of spiritual and well being products with a positive message We have our Love' loveove candles. Okay, that's quite nice. We have our be brave be strong range of gut health green powders. Yeah, that's positive And we also have one of our most popular products, our Caucasian abbrasion Body lototion Sorry Um Caucasian, abrasion. Body lotion, yes All of the products we sell are in service of our core mission statement that the WhSPper commommunity is all about. And u thenen the mission statement It's ultimately about peace, love in the preservation of the white race Um Sorry didn't catch the last bit We believe in collaborating within our network to prevent the harmful effects of multiculturalism, and we're working to build a better future for our own people Yeah, that's what I thought you said. Yes Without immedia action, the white race will be wiped out. Right Sorry, Can I just clarify something Is everyone in the Whisper community white? Yes We believe in ethnic purity. Okay Pably a good time to end it there because I don't think there's an awful lot left to say. I mean, I hesitate to ask really, Tabeta, but we always ask our guess one final question, although I think I can guess which way it's going to go Is there? I don't know An epitaph you'd like to be remembered by Yes, I would have to say love is love. Really Either that or we must fight to secure the existence of our people in a future for whitees children. Yeah, thought it'd be something more like that Okay Thank you very much, Tabeta Beckworth You're welcome That was Tabeta Beckworth there, founder of the Wellness brand The Whisper. And yeah, probablyably a good time to point out that we don't necessarily endorse the views of all of our guests on the Big Iea.
