I can’t wait to share an intriguing, wisdom-filled and utterly delightful conversation with Wyn Morgan in this episode.

Wyn is a highly experienced executive coach who has worked with business leaders around the world, as well as providing mentoring and one-on-one services to coaches and other humans.  

Wyn is one of my favourite people in the inside-out conversation and he shares with such humanity, authenticity, insight and wi...

Why are we not seeing the changes we want in life, even when are working really hard to get them? There's a bit we are missing and it's f*cking huge. 

Come and explore:  

• Why we want change in the first place
• Why it feels hard, or the results don't 'work' the way we want them to
• How understanding the nature of thoughts and feelings is the missing piece 
• Well, what is the nature of thoughts and feelings then?
• ...

I can’t wait to share a conversation I had with Gabi Fisher in this episode.

Gabi is a wife,  full-time mother to her one-year-old daughter, and part-time teacher and coach. She shares the spiritual paradigm of mental health and well-being that transformed her life from depressed and anxious to happy and thriving. 

She’s a warm, kind, funny and smart human and I loved hanging out with her!

Join me to explore the incredible power of NOTICING when it comes to finding freedom from overthinking, worry and anxiety. 

'Noticing' sounds unsexy, boring and nebulous. How can something as little and benign as"noticing" help jostle us along the path to peace? That's what we are talking about!

Come and explore:  

• What even is 'noticing' and how do we do it?
• How does noticing help us with ou...

I can't wait to share a conversation between me and Kristy Halvorsen in this episode.

Kristy is an author, a guide, a mentor and a nomadic world traveller, who helps people completely reimagine what it means to be human. Kristy has a gift for sharing how we can move through life from a place other than logic, reason and the conventions of society.

URGH. If you're tired of the usual goal-setting malarky at this time of year, join me for the second part of our fresh look at this whole thing**

Come and explore:  

• A quick recap of part one, where we talked about the drivers and influences of our goal-setting culture
• How to take a fresh look at what we even think  - and what we m...

It’s that time of year when we are bombarded with messages to set goals, review our year, make plans for the next year, improve ourselves and generally be better humans. We are told that if we set and meet goals, we will feel good. 

Huh.

Is that true? Let’s do some poking around these internalised ideas in another two-parter!

Come and explore:  

• Why we are obsessed with goal-setting and planning 
• Why and how we set goals, ...

I loved having Christine Heath and Judy Sedgeman as my special guests on the pod! Chris and Judy have been working with groups, individuals, couples and classes for - literally - decades to help them find freedom beyond their personal thinking and see life in a completely new way.

I loved having Daniel Magnusson as my special guest on the pod! Daniel is a coach with a zillion years of experience and extensive professional training. A couple of years ago, he came across the inside-out nature of how humans work that is shared on this show and it transformed his own life and those of his clients.

It was brilliant to have Clare Downham, Queen of Calm, on the show. Clare was a busy and successful headteacher before burning out and becoming a hypnotherapist on a self-development kick. But then she came across the principles of how humans work (that this show is based on) and she now works with people to help them uncover their calm, clarity and confidence. 
She's also a smart and funny human and I loved hanging out wi...

We recently explored how we don't create our thoughts. We can't control them and we don't 'think' them up. So where do they come from? 

Come and explore:

Welcome to part 2 of our exploration! Perhaps you may be on board with the idea that you are not your thoughts (part one is here if you missed it)...so who are you then?

Come and explore:  

• Why, if we come to see we are not our thoughts, we instead think we are the things we DO: our behaviours, habits, actions and responses...
• ...But are we really though?
• If we are not the things that change, what or who are we?
• Are we even asking t...

Do you take your thoughts seriously? Do you think you create them? Do you think your thoughts are advising you of important information about you, the future, the past or what other people think of you?

Yep. All part of being human. What a riot, huh?

But we're told through influences, culture and messaging that our thoughts ARE important and we DO need to pay attention.

But your thoughts are nothing to do with you. 

Come and explo...
