You don’t have to choose between the journey and the destination.

Most self-improvement and inner peace approaches lean hard in one direction, acceptance without growth, or growth without self-love. But real, sustainable, purpose-aligned change needs both.

Inspired by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), this short talk offers a simple framework for holding acceptance and improvement at the same time.

What if you were able to love yourself whilst fixing yourself?

'I closed my eyes to the beauty of the sea, shielding the fragile part of my soul that still believed in an untainted moment. As I walked away I couldn't help but feel...'

In this episode share a story of healing and self-acceptance through poetry.

Using the symbolism of water, nature, and floating, I’ll guide you inward, into the parts that learned to brace, shut down, and survive.

You will leave hopeful for your own process of returning back to the self.

There comes a time when we know we need to act, but nonetheless find ourselves blocked by fear, or inertia, or confusion, or some other unnamable emotion.

It is then when we must take a leap of faith - despite the possibility that we may fail. In this talk I discuss how I have taken a leap of faith and offer guidance on how you can do the same.

If you are struggling to do what you know you must, this one is for you!

In today’s session I share with you a guided meditation that weaves together mindfulness, breathwork, healing visualization, and mantra, inviting you to soften, slow down, and reconnect to the self and the moment.

You can follow each cue or simply sit and listen. This space is here for you. Let the words, breath, and stillness meet you as you are.

Life will shoot us with the first arrow - these are real injuries, setbacks, losses and pain.

But the greater cause of our suffering comes form ‘the second arrow’ - the fear, anxieties, ruminations, and other internal mechanisations that we dwell upon.

In this episode I discuss the concept of the second arrow, as well as how we can use it to eliminate significant amounts of excess (and useless) suffering.

The concept of inner child work is vital to recovery. The body holds trauma and it often ‘feels’ like it is held at the age that that trauma happened.

In this episode I share my discovery of issues with my inner child as well as my plans to reconnect and heal. I also share a chapter ‘Give Yourself A Break’ from the book ‘How To Get Your Sh!t Together’

When you are at your lowest point, perhaps it is time to celebrate. You are in a state of healing, of shadow work leading to growth, of transformation - towards beauty, towards abundance, towards every possibility that life can offer you.

In this short talk I share how my life fell apart and how I am celebrating the process of putting it back together, better than it ever has been. Who is willing to join me for a look into the dark night of the soul?

In this episode I talk about my approach to my online work, as well as the mental processors that have been holding me back.

I release everything I do, for free, because I don’t want money to be a barrier for life saving advice.

I moved out of home at 16. Back then I couldn’t afford food, let alone a book or therapy. So now I want to ensure that people who are in a similar situation to me have access to the advice, techniques, tools and resources that helped me to survive.

Over the last couple of weeks, my mental state has taken a turn for the worse.

In this episode I break down what has happened & why, as well as discuss what I am doing to mend.

We are in unprecedented times, so it makes sense that you may be also struggling.

The only way to truly heal is to embrace your past. To acknowledge it, work through it, and accept to it. Ignoring it won’t help, and hoping it will go away is just wishful thinking.

This is a hard process, and one that must be repeated often. But the result are worth it.

In this episode I share how writing therapy has helped me to relieve some of the inner pressure. I cover some of the problems and pitfalls of using writing therapy to address trauma. I also share two pieces of writing therapy, the poem ‘Flash Back’, as well as a short essay ‘What is a dream?’.

If you suffer from a chronic illness, but don’t want to let that stop you from following your dreams, this episode is for you.

Kelly Paris joins me on the podcast to discuss how she manages her chronic illness (fibromyalgia +) yet still manages to follow her dreams.

We discuss the importance of finding a good therapist, focusing on your ‘why’, taking rest days when needed, learning to rely on yourself, as well as looking for the ‘yes’ rather than focusing on the ‘no’ …

Writing therapy is one of the core components of my ongoing mental health plan. When I feel a build of of mental pressure - I write!

The page listens and does not judge, and therefore you can tell it anything without fear. Writing enables me to collect, organise and express my thoughts. By writing them down, I am able to detach from them and let them go.
