Life can be challenging. But whatever we encounter we always have a choice. We can take the easy route or the hard route. Stress Less Living is about always looking for the easy routes in life. The low stress ways to accomplish your goals, get more of what you want and ultimately live a happy and fulfilled life. On the podcast, you can expect mindset advice, strategies for dealing with big modern day problems like overwhelm, burnout, perfectionism and procrastination, and insight into tools like meditation and mindfulness. Each week, I’ll share easily digestible bite size ideas that you can immediately put into practise so that you can live a more stress less life.
When it comes to your health, happiness and success, the amount that you get of those things, will be largely dependant on the day-to-day habits that you form.
The behaviours, actions, and systems that you put in place.
Yet so many people leave this down to chance!
They go through life, just hoping that they form the kinds of habits that support them.
And they mi...
Deep down, everyone has things that they want to change in their lives…
Blocks, barriers, emotional issues, destructive behaviours…things that prevent them from getting more of what they want…
But the problem is, we’ve never been taught how to make those changes…
We’ve been given this incredible device, our brain, but we’ve not been given a user manual.
So we fid...
At the heart of many of our issues is inner conflict.
Where part of us wants to go in one direction but another part is pulling is in another.
This can cause inner turbulence, emotional disharmony, and can lead to problems like self-sabotage, destructive behaviours, and indecision.
So in this episode, we'll be talking a look at both the underlying dynamics of inner conflict and the main ways that it can show up in our life.
And tow...
So what do you do when you find yourself in a crisis?
A moment in your life where everything around you is collapsing and the walls feel like their caving in…
Or maybe it’s just a mini-crisis. Everything isn’t necessarily falling apart but you’ve found yourself in a tricky spot and you don’t know what to do.
What’s the best course of action?
Panic? Freak out?
There is so much unpredictability & uncertainty in the world right now and many people are scared.
Many people experience a fear of the unknown at the bets of times, so when there's a major re-shuffling or upheaval this can go into overdrive.
So in this episode, we'll be looking at some ways to better handle unpredictability and uncertainty when it happens so that you don’t lose your mind and, potential, so you can even thrive ...
It's not being overly dramatic to say that NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) saved my life.
It is, without doubt, one of THE most important discoveries I've made and I've spent the last 27 years of my life studying it.
And I KNOW that so many other people can benefit from it.
So in this episode, I'll be digging into NLP and talking about why I think it's a life-saving set of tools that everybody should learn.
I'll be going through...
Spirituality is one of these subjects that can create polarised responses.
Some people totally freak out and think you're going to talk about God, crystals, and angels, whereas others are totally into it.
But what is spirituality really? Is there a more practical way to look at it? And is it worth adding spiritual elements into your life?
Well, in this episode we'll be digging right into it. I'll be taking a practical look at spiri...
What if there was a simple technique you could use to create an (almost) instant feeling of calm and serenity?
Something that brings you into the present moment and helps you become more mindful and connected with experience?
Well, actually...there is.
Say hello to the Peripheral Vision Technique.
It's a simple but effective way to use your vision to reduce stress, counteract the fight or flight response, and automatically trigger ...
Why is it that some people can overcome massive adversity whereas others melt faster than a blancmange in a microwave at the first sign of challenge?
Well, the answer, according to psychologist Angela Duckworth, is GRIT.
GRIT is the ability to have both passion, resilience, and perseverance. Three essential qualities when it comes to achieving success of any kind of note.
And in this episode, I'll be putting her book through the pa...
These days, many people seem to view stress as an occupational hazard. Like it's an everyday part of life that we just have to put up with.
But what if there were certain practices you could put in place to prevent the bulk of the stress that you experience?
That rather than fire-fighting all the time, you could actually be more preventive in how you approach stress...
Well, that's what this episode is all about!
I'll be outlining ...
It's the time of the year where most people make plans for the year and set the intention of making some positive changes.
BUT (frustratingly) many people struggle to make good on these intentions and, by mid-Jan, they're often confined to the bin alongside the left-over turkey.
In fact one study showed that 23% of people give up within just one week and 55% give up in 6 months.
Not good!
So in this episode, we're going to be fixin...
With so much craziness and unpredictability in the world, what does it take to stay positive?
In fact, is it even possible?
Well, I think it is, but to do so you have to work at it.
So in this episode, I'll be talking about how to build a positive mindset in 2025. I'll be busting some myths about positivity and outlining 4 things that I think you should be focusing on. So grab a cuppa, or whatever you do when you're listening to...
One of the things that makes life harder work than it needs to be is not being able to forgive.
Holding on to all the anger, hurt, resentment, the bruising of the ego, and, in general, just not being able to move on.
Forgiveness can be a tough one to process, especially if we believe that we've been properly betrayed or treated badly.
So in this episode of the podcast, we'll be taking a look at the art of forgiveness. I'll be goin...

We are all creatures of habit, right?
First we form our habits and then they tend to form us.
And, while many habits are healthy and work well for us, some are not.
They either hold us back or take us in the completely wrong direction in life. But that begs the question: what types of behaviours hold us back the most?
And which ones should we be looking to eliminate?
Well, in this episode, we'll be looking at 5 BIG Common Behaviou...
What is it about people telling you that you didn't do something right that can be so annoying...
...and sometimes hurtful. Criticism can sting, that's for sure.

Well, in this episode, that's what we'll be exploring.
