Inside My Mind - Episode 1 - Gratitude and what you do in advance has a big impact on future situations

The Chaos of Selling & Everyday Life

Why is something as simple as selling a car… never actually simple? In this candid and lightly chaotic episode of Inside My Mind, we follow a slice of real life in motion: juggling parenting, podcasting, and the unpredictable world of online buyers. What starts as a practical task quickly turns into a series of bizarre offers, time-wasters, and the mental energy it takes to deal with it all. But underneath the humour is something deeper. This episode captures the everyday balancing act of managing responsibilities, making decisions, and staying patient when things don’t go to plan. From uploading podcast episodes on the go to navigating negotiations and standing your ground, it’s a relatable look at modern life’s small but draining challenges. There’s frustration, honesty, and a bit of dry humour that anyone who’s tried to sell something online will instantly recognise. 👉 If you’ve ever dealt with lowball offers, unreliable buyers, or just the general chaos of getting things done this episode will feel very familiar.

Safety, Shortages & What We’re Not Being Told

How safe is your neighbourhood… really? In this thought-provoking episode of Inside My Mind, a simple knock on the door turns into a deeper reflection on safety, trust, and the uneasy feeling that something isn’t quite right. After nearby thefts shake the sense of security, questions begin to surface about who we trust, what we notice, and how we protect our homes. But that’s only part of it. As concerns about fuel supply and rising petrol prices continue, this episode explores the growing uncertainty around what’s really happening behind the scenes. Are we being told the full story? And what does it mean for everyday life in New Zealand. From transport to the availability of basic goods? Blending real-life moments with bigger-picture thinking, this episode captures that quiet tension many people are feeling but not always saying out loud. 👉 If you’ve been wondering about safety, shortages, or the truth behind the headlines, this episode will get you thinking.

Taking the Leap

What does it really take to stop thinking about something… and actually do it? In this behind-the-scenes episode of Inside My Mind, we step away from big thoughts and into real action. This is the moment where an idea turns into something tangible. Launching a podcast across platforms, figuring out the tech, and pushing through the frustration of not knowing what you’re doing (yet). It’s honest, a little chaotic, and completely relatable. From navigating social media and sound quality struggles to experimenting with new tools and putting yourself out there, this episode captures what it feels like to build something from scratch. Without perfection, but with determination. If you’ve ever had an idea sitting in your head, waiting for the “right time”… this is your reminder that the right time is usually messy, imperfect, and now. 👉 Tune in for a real-time glimpse into the process of starting something new—and the mindset it takes to follow through.

Exhausted, Overwhelmed & Still Going

What happens when you hit the wall… but life doesn’t slow down?

There’s exhaustion. There’s irritation. There’s honesty. But beneath it all is something many people will recognise: the pressure to keep going, to keep providing, and to hold everything together...even when you’re running on empty. From navigating conflict at home to questioning decisions around health and energy, this episode doesn’t try to tidy things up. It simply tells it like it is. 👉 If you’ve ever felt completely worn out but still had no choice but to push through this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar (in the best way).
