🧠007 - Brick Walls of Thought

Do you ever feel isolated, like no matter what you do, you can't connect with certain people in your life? Do you feel like there are walls up, for both you and the other person? Does it feel like you're literally talking to, or hitting your head against, a brick wall? In this episode I briefly go into 4 ways that we experience these 'brick walls of thought'. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

🗣️006 - Viktor Saghy Interview

Today's special guest is my personal coach and friend Viktor Saghy! Viktor coached me for 1.5 years 2023-2025. He is an amazing coach and mentor. In this episode, we spend the first half discussing his coaching approach and the second half him live-coaching me! I was in a bad place with my speech and this was the support I needed. I delayed putting this episode out for 15 MONTHS! I kept avoiding. What becomes obvious to me is I was ashamed of my stuttering 'relapse' here. This was when I was going through a bad time with my speech. I had done hypnotherapy and seen temporary improvement, and yet had a huge relapse. Where my fear levels and stuttering had increased back to previous levels. I was distraught. And yet, what I hear when I listen back, is the amount of value that is in this episode. I have been robbing the world of gold, because of my selfishness. Because of my own insecurities. Because of my own shame. I am supposed to be better than this. I am supposed to be guiding us all. I have let you, me and us all down. I will be better. Enjoy the episode. x Viktor's bio: Be Unstoppable: Coaching That Actually Moves the Needle Viktor helps high-achieving health leaders and individuals stop overthinking, reclaim their power, and create the life they know they’re meant to live.

❤️006 - Letting Go

Part 2 of the Ego Sabotage/Letting Go episode series! We spoke about feeling triggered in the last episode, where the fight/flight centre of our brain gets activated. We spoke about bringing awareness to these sabotaging thoughts. Dealing with them on a thought-level. In this episode we speak about letting go of the feeling on a somatic body emotion-level. This process has changed my life in numerous ways. Being able to regulate your feelings, and let go of our trauma in the body, is the single most useful technique you can learn to live a peaceful life. Note that this is a 2-part episode.

🗣️005 - Alex Manzi Interview

Today's episode is a very special one to me. You see, I met Alex Manzi on a personal development course back at the start of 2023. This was a course which launched me into embarking on my podcast journey. But whilst the inkling for the idea had formed on the course, it was Alex who massively encouraged and guided me on getting setup with my recording equipment and the "how to". He is a fantastic life coach and his podcast was rated the top life coaching podcast a few years ago. He has had amazing people like Amy Johnson (author of 'Being Human' and 'Just A Thought') and Wretch 32 (famous UK rapper) on there, sharing their knowledge. This episode is a full circle moment for me, as Alex committed to me that he would be on the podcast, provided I put up 5 recorded interviews. And here we are, with the 5th one going live. Thank you Alex for pushing me to be better! Here's a bio written by the man himself: "Alex Manzi is a Creator and Coach who works with Creatives and Entrepreneurs to help them optimise their mindset so that they can bring their dream projects to life. Alex is also the host of 'In The Moment with Alex Manzi' which is one of the most downloaded self development podcasts in the UK as well as author of the book 'The Search For Clarity' which he released in 2020." ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode.
