You Unleashed with Russell Davis

I had a coach who once said 'Acceptance is the WD40 of change'. This stuck with me and over the years, and in the most challenging of times I can see how true it is. In this episode, we explore what I mean by acceptance and why it is the oil of change. 

In this episode, we are dipping into the archive from July 2024.  I explore our relationship with anxiety and overthinking. I once believed worry was part of my identity, only to discover it was a learned habit shaped by misunderstanding and fear. I share the insights and realisations that helped me and my clients find true peace and freedom, and return to a feeling of home that exists beneath all the noise.

In this episode, I reflect on a time when I felt adrift and unfulfilled despite outward success, and how a shift in self-leadership transformed my life. I share six powerful principles that helped me reconnect with my innate well-being and move from victimhood to empowerment. Through my own vulnerability and insight, I invite you to explore your own path to freedom, purpose, and self-connection.

In this episode, we explore what truly drives us and why traditional motivation methods often fall short. We break down the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, revealing how tapping into our inner purpose, curiosity, and autonomy creates lasting drive. Learn how to align your actions with what really matters to you and feel more empowered in every area of life.

In this episode, we explore the hidden cost of overthinking and the freedom found in letting go of the need to know. I share how what once felt like my greatest strength, my thinking, was actually holding me back from clarity, peace, and purpose. Discover how embracing the unknown can quiet the mind, bring ease to life (and your body), unlock inner wisdom, and bring you home to yourself.

Feeling stuck and frustrated about an aspect of life? Or life as a whole? In this episode, we explore how we are often focusing too much on how to create what we want, which stops us from actually doing it! We often try too hard and get in our own way of success. We explore how we can create with more ease and wellbeing!

I think money is a fascinating subject. I help my clients let go of limiting beliefs that hold them back in life. In this episode, we look at how our relationship with money can tell us a lot about whether we have limiting beliefs in life or not, and not just about money! 

The missing ingredient in interactions, whether with our loved ones or colleagues, that can mean anything from misunderstanding to conflict, is connection. In this episode, we explore what connection is and how to create it to bring more ease into relationships, especially in challenging times when emotions are high. 

What do we need to create more of what we want in life? Confidence or courage? In this episode, we explore why we can't trust our feelings and when we do listen to our feelings, we can end up feeling stuck in life. 

Stress is so common in today's society. At the same time, I think there is often a misunderstanding of the cause. When you begin to see what's really creating your stress, you can stop looking in the wrong place for the answers and resolve it at the root cause. In this episode, we explore the real cause of stress. 

I used to have a very busy mind. I still do at times. Meditation used to be something I thought I needed to do to have a quieter mind, not that it made much difference in the rest of my day. It is now something I enjoy but don't feel I need. In this episode, we explore meditation as a state of mind instead of an act. 

I think most people wouldn't say no to more fun in their lives! Despite how challenging life circumstances can be, is it possible to still have moments of fun? How do you create a life with more fun? In this episode, we explore the psychology behind fun and how you can experience more fun and joy in your life. 

In this week's episode, we explore the freedom that comes from seeing how thoughts and feelings are pure imagination. 100% of the time. 

In this episode, I share a poem that I came across in the midst of our infertility journey when life felt hopeless, and I felt worthless. It sparked something in me. It evoked a deep desire to play full-out in life and not have any regrets. To stop getting in my own way. It is called The Invitation. It is an invitation for you to be fully you and create a life of passion and purpose. 

Criticism can cut deep. Particularly if it is unfair. It can trigger us unnecessarily. Being sensitive to it can keep us in a state of tension. In this episode, we explore why this is the case and how you can stay calm and in your power in the face of unfair criticism. 

We all need someone who's got our back. Who believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. Who picks us up when life feels tough. Who helps us get clear on our truths and have the confidence to create the life we want. My coaches do this for me. In this episode, we explore why this is important and what it can unlock within you to help you create the inspired life you deserve. 

I like to be right. I can find it hard to admit I am wrong, particularly to people I care about most. In this episode, we explore why this is often the case and why admitting we are wrong can take courage, but it is also a gift of love (to ourselves and others). 

Kids can start to think there is something wrong with them when they compare themselves and/or their lives to others. I know I did. This can play out in our lives as adults, even though we are not kids anymore. We start to gather evidence and life experiences that reinforce this unconscious belief. In this episode, we explore how we can let go of that belief, regardless of life experiences that try to reinforce it.
