I remember the day I handed in my pass after 17 years in my corporate career. I felt naked. I had no idea what I was going to do next, and what struck me hardest was the thought that nobody would be interested in me for who I am, only for what I do.
That is the root of a mind that cannot switch off.
In this episode, I talk about the years I spent working late into the night, and the years before that when I was never really off, always turning over a problem, always half elsewhere. I use the image of sucking a sweet with the wrapper still on: going through the motions of life without ever tasting it. Underneath it is an addiction to doing, and the belief that our safety, our lovability and our worth depend on proving ourselves in some way.
Most of us know intellectually that this is not true, which is why we get so frustrated with ourselves for still doing it. But judging yourself for it only tightens the grip. The way out is self-compassion. It is not your fault you learned these stories. Mine came from a childhood where being good enough felt like the price of being loved.
I close with three questions worth sitting with, including this one: what would you have to believe about yourself to allow yourself to stop and be present in this moment?
If you call yourself an overthinker, you have probably been trying to fix the wrong thing.
I spent years paralysed by my own thinking. I remember sitting in tears over which university course to choose, unable to decide, terrified of getting it wrong. Years later, when my wife's car died suddenly and we were down to my old Land Rover, I overthought the replacement so hard that I made a rash decision and got it badly wrong. Then my mind used that as evidence for why I needed to think even harder next time.
In this episode, I share what I have come to see after years of working with clients who ask me the same question: how do I stop this? They think it is a thinking problem. It isn't. It is a trust problem. A lack of trust in ourselves, in other people, in life itself. When we do not trust that we will be okay, it becomes our job to make sure we are, and that creates a very busy mind running every permutation of what might go wrong.
I explore why nothing can predict the future, why your wisdom shows up when you need it rather than in advance, and why the question worth sitting with is this one: what would you do next if you trusted you could handle whatever happened?
If your mind won't stop turning things over, this episode offers a completely different way in.
What if financial planning isn't really about money?
In this extra episode, financial planner Jeremy Squibb and I explore why so many successful people still don't feel they have "enough" and how our relationship with money is often a reflection of our relationship with ourselves.
Together we unpack why people chase bigger pensions, bigger salaries and bigger houses, only to discover they were really searching for freedom, peace of mind and a life with fewer regrets.
You'll hear Jeremy's three life-changing questions, discover why "enough" is one of the most important words in personal finance, and explore how to build a life that money supports rather than controls.
Whether you're building wealth, thinking about retirement or simply wondering if there's more to life than the next promotion, this conversation will help you step back and ask a bigger question:
What kind of life am I really trying to create?
What if your feelings don't actually know anything about your life, your past, or your future?
For decades I flatlined through life, avoiding anything I labeled a "negative" emotion, and telling myself that made me calm and grounded. It didn't. In this episode I share what changed how I relate to feelings for good: the idea that your mind works less like a camera and more like a projector, and your feelings are simply telling you how much thinking, not how much truth, is behind that movie.
I use the image of a glitter ball to explain why trying to manage, suppress, or fix a feeling only stirs it up further, while allowing it lets it settle on its own, the way a toddler's tantrum passes the moment nobody fights it. I also talk about "husbanding your feminine," taking responsibility for your own state instead of leaking it onto the people around you, and a friend's story of sobriety that shows feelings were never the real problem.
If you've ever been scared of your own emotions, or waited for the "right" feeling before taking action, this episode will change your relationship with every feeling you have from here on.
For most of my adult life, I had a very narrow band of emotions. Calm, grounded, always fine. Except I wasn't.
It took an eight year infertility journey, and finding out the fertility problem was actually mine, to finally see it. My wife had told me for years I lived in my head. I thought that was a strength. In this episode I share the moment that broke that pattern open: standing in some woods trying to vent my anger on a branch, and realizing my heart wasn't even in it. I'd been avoiding my own feelings for so long I didn't know how to have them.
I talk about the silent retreat that followed, the first time in my life I chose stillness over striving, and what I learned there about not being afraid of grief, shame, or sadness. I share two quotes that changed how I relate to my own experience, and why the moment I stopped pretending I was okay was the moment I found a deeper okayness that didn't depend on how I felt at all.
If you've spent years keeping a lid on how you really feel, this episode is an invitation to finally take it off.
I once got a 25% pay rise. It felt euphoric. Within weeks, that feeling was gone.
There's research on lottery winners showing the same thing: happiness spikes, then drops right back to where it started. In this episode I ask why success, whether it's a pay rise, a promotion, or a goal you've worked years for, so often fails to give us lasting happiness. I share the old story of the Chinese farmer whose horse ran away, and how "good" and "bad" are really just judgments we place on events.
I also tell you about a violin competition I entered as a teenager, where I played the same piece twice with wildly different results, once with no pressure and once with everything to prove. That contrast taught me the difference between success as a place to get to (outside in) and success as a place to come from (inside out).
If you've ever achieved something you wanted and still felt a little hollow, this episode explains why, and what to do instead.
Why do so many ambitious, driven people struggle to feel present with the ones they love most?
I remember my wife telling me she felt lonely in our relationship. Not because I wasn't there. I was. But my head wasn't. I was constantly solving problems, chasing the next promotion, the next pay rise, trying to prove I was good enough. In this episode I explore why so much ambition is actually fear in disguise (fear of not being safe, fear of rejection) and how that fear keeps our minds time traveling between past and future, never landing in the present moment.
I share what I've learned about the difference between a busy, problem solving mind and a quiet one, and why you cannot listen and think at the same time. The people we love aren't craving our solutions or our success. They're craving our presence. A quiet mind, real understanding, and the simple experience of being heard.
If you've ever been told you're "in your head" too much, or you sense the people you love want more of you than your achievements, this episode will change how you show up for them.
We used to think illness was caused by bad smells in the air. Doctors who questioned that were dismissed, even discredited. Then germ theory changed everything.
I think something similar is happening with stress.
Most of us believe, without really questioning it, that stress comes from situations: the demanding boss, the difficult relationship, the impossible workload. If that's true, the only way to feel better is to change the circumstances. And when you can't, you feel trapped.
In this episode, I want to offer a different way of seeing it. One that doesn't remove the difficulty but completely changes your relationship to it.
Nothing outside you can make you feel anything. Your experience is created from the inside out, always. When you really begin to see that, the stress doesn't necessarily disappear, but your relationship to it does. And that's where the possibility lives.
For a long time, I didn't have language for what was missing in my life. I had everything I thought I needed. Good friends, a loving relationship, a career that looked successful from the outside. And yet something felt hollow.
Looking back, I'd describe what I lacked as self-leadership. Not the kind that means working harder or being more disciplined. The inner kind.
In this episode, I share six qualities I've come to see as foundational, not as a checklist to work through, but as signposts to what might be quietly missing. We cover emotional awareness, structure, the shift from victim to creator, the power of choice, purpose, and knowing how to ask for support.
This episode is for anyone who feels like they're going through the motions. You're not broken. You may just need to come home to yourself.
Most of us spend enormous energy trying to get rid of fear. I know I did.
I remember being coached in a training room years ago and telling my coach what I wanted more than anything was to stop feeling afraid. He looked at me and said: I can't do that. What you need is courage.
At the time I was disappointed. Looking back, it was one of the most useful things anyone has ever said to me.
In this episode, I share what fear actually is, not what we think it is. Fear isn't caused by the situation. It's the misuse of imagination. It's a story we're telling ourselves about what might happen, filtered through old experiences and beliefs about who we are.
When you begin to see that, something shifts. You don't have to wait until the fear goes away to take the next step. You just need fifteen seconds of courage.
Something I've noticed in myself and in the people I work with is that the fear of being wrong runs surprisingly deep.
It makes sense when you trace it back. Many of us grew up in environments where getting something wrong meant being judged, told off, or found lacking. So we learned to protect ourselves by needing to be right. And then we carried that habit into our adult lives, our relationships, our careers.
In this episode, I explore what that fear is really about and what it costs us. And I share a moment with my wife that stopped me in my tracks.
There's a line that has always stayed with me from the early days of my marriage: you can be right, or you can be in a relationship. This episode is about that.
Have you ever looked back and realised you didn't choose aspects of your life so much as drift into it?
That was me. Seventeen years in a successful career, moving up, being chosen, being wanted. And drifting. Not because I was lazy or lost, but because I was living the life I thought I should be living rather than one my heart actually wanted.
In this episode, I explore the idea Napoleon Hill called drifting and why it affects so many ambitious, capable people who look fine on the outside. We talk about the three things that help you move from unconscious living to something more deliberate. They are, knowing what you genuinely want, believing you can have it, and taking the small actions that inch you forward.
This isn't about five-year plans or goal-setting frameworks. It's about reconnecting to what your heart is actually asking for.
If you feel like there is something missing, like you are drifting rather than truly living, this episode is for you.
I remember at a low point in my life, feeling lost, Googling "how to find your purpose." I did not find the answer there. A mentor of mine used to open talks on purpose by telling a room of two hundred people: you cannot find your purpose by coming to talks like this. Purpose is not something outside you that you need to find. It is something you realise from the inside.
There is a story I love of Nasruddin, the wise fool of Sufi tales, racing frantically through the streets of Baghdad on his donkey, looking for his donkey. When we search outside ourselves for purpose, for a feeling of meaning, for the life we are meant to live, we are doing exactly that. Looking in the wrong place.
The work is not to search harder. Your purpose is innate. The more you live from your true self, the more it gets revealed, one small breadcrumb at a time. I trained as a therapist purely for fun, with no intention of making it my career. Halfway through the course, I realised: I think this is what I am meant to be doing.
You do not need to burn your life down to find your purpose. You just need to come back home to yourself.
What if positive thinking is actually making things worse?
I know that can sound strange. We are told endlessly that the key to a better life is to think more positively, to catch negative thoughts and replace them, to fill our days with affirmations.
But in my experience, both personally and with clients, this approach tends to create more struggle, not less. When you affirm something you do not yet believe, part of you pushes back. And fighting thought with thought just gives you a busier mind.
There is a story I love about a man on a riverbank pulling drowning people from the water. Others join in. Then one of them disappears upstream. The rest think he has abandoned them. But he went upstream to find out why people were falling in the first place. Managing the content of your thinking is working too far downstream. Going upstream means understanding the nature of thought itself.
We are not the content of our thoughts. We are the ability to have thoughts. We are the sky, not the weather. And when we really see that, the mind settles by itself. Clarity returns. A genuine sense of okayness and possibility opens up, one that does not depend on thinking the right thoughts.
If you are tired of fighting your own mind and want something more sustainable than positive thinking, this episode will offer you a completely different and deeply liberating perspective.
Most of us know what we want, or at least we think we do. The question to ask is, are we actually choosing it?
There is a world of difference between wanting something and committing to it.
In this episode, I explore why so many ambitious people stay stuck in wanting, even when the desire is real, and the direction is clear. Even when they know their current path doesn't feel like their purpose.
When I left my corporate career and started building my therapy and coaching practice from scratch, I told myself I could not afford to save any money or give any away. Both turned out to be stories. The moment I chose to do both, even in the smallest possible way, something shifted. That is what choosing does. It changes your sense of being. And your sense of being is what drives your results.
It is fear that keeps us in the land of "one day," fear of failure, of making the wrong call, of not being enough. But what if failure is simply learning? What if you are already enough and have nothing to prove?
This episode is an invitation to stop waiting and start choosing the life that is already calling to you.
Do you find yourself stuck in your head, turning a decision over and over but getting no closer to knowing what to do?
I remember sitting having a set of options open to my after my A-levels. Different universities, different sponsored placements, all of them good. And I couldn't decide. I was in tears, terrified of making the wrong choice, convinced that if I just thought harder, I would find the answer.
We live in a culture that says analytical thinking is key. But trying to think your way to clarity ties you in knots.
As Jamie Smart puts it:
You - Contaminated Thinking = Clarity.
And that contaminated thinking is usually fear. Fear of getting it wrong, fear of regret, fear of being judged. The more we try to think through that fear, the busier our minds get.
Clarity is not something we find. It comes to us. Like a 3D image from the 90's Magic Eye patterns, it only appears when you stop forcing it and let your gaze soften. The more you trust that your innate wisdom is there and that you will be okay whatever happens, the more naturally and quickly clarity arrives.
If you overthink decisions or struggle to trust your own instincts, this episode will shift how you relate to your own thinking.
In this episode, I explore why most self-improvement approaches fall short, not because people aren't trying hard enough, but because they're working too far downstream.
I use the image of people falling into a river. Most self-help is focused on pulling people out of the water. But what if you went further upstream to understand why they're falling in? When we're caught in a thought-created reality, fighting that thinking with more thinking is like trying to rescue a burnt biscuit. The best baker in the world cannot save it. You start again.
We don't need fixing. We have innate well-being already within us. Our minds are self-correcting systems. Like a snow globe, they settle when we stop shaking them. The more we understand how our experience is actually created, the less we try to wrestle with it, and the more naturally clarity, confidence, and peace return.
If you've been working hard on yourself and feel like something still isn't clicking, this might be the most useful episode you hear all year.
In this special episode, I'm sharing a full interview conversation recorded in Regent's Park, London, in which I tell my story from the beginning. I talk about growing up as a people-pleaser, always looking for approval from parents and teachers. About how a corporate career built on saying yes to everything eventually left me asking, "where's me in all of this?" About discovering I was infertile, and how that cracked something open and woke me up to how conditional my happiness had become.
I share the turning point that changed everything: checking myself into a convent for five days of silence, sitting in front of a barren vegetable patch, and realising I had a blank canvas. A chance to stop living from the outside in and start building a life that was genuinely mine.
If you're an ambitious person who's achieved a lot but feels like something is still missing, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, I explore one of the most misunderstood ideas in personal development. I share the true nature of confidence. Watch a baby learning to walk, and you see something remarkable. No fear of failure, no comparison, no self-doubt. Not because they're unusually brave, but because they haven't yet picked up the insecure thinking that gets in the way.
We aren't born with innate confidence. We're born with a quieter mind, closer to our true selves. Over time we learn to drown that out with comparison, fear, and other people's judgments and expectations.
The formula I share in this episode is simple:
Your True Self - Contaminated Thinking = Innate Confidence.
Confidence isn't a feeling you need before you act. It's a feeling you get when you keep honouring and trusting that still, soft voice within and have the courage to act on it.
If you're tired of fighting self-doubt and feel like confidence is always just out of reach, this episode will change how you see yourself.
I remember getting a big promotion at work. The congratulations from colleagues. The excitement of a new challenge and a pay rise. Then, a few days later, walking in on a Monday morning thinking, "Is this it?"
The research is clear: reaching your goals, winning the lottery, even having a baby, doesn't fundamentally change how content you feel. You return to your habitual level of happiness. Most of us are simply aiming at the wrong spot.
If you've ever worked hard to achieve something and felt a hollow emptiness when you got there, this episode is for you.
There's always a goal behind the goal. The promotion, the status, the money, these are the top of the log. Feeling secure, worthy, and whole, that's the bottom. And that's a place to come from, not a place to get to.
The emptiness you feel isn't a sign that something is wrong with you. It's a love letter from your soul.
If you've been listening since the days of The Fertile Mind, or found me more recently through You Unleashed, this short episode is for you.
The podcast has a new name, Clarity Within, and a new strapline: The Search Is Over. In this episode, I explain why, where the show has been, and where it's going.
This journey started as a podcast for people navigating the deeply personal experience of fertility. It then opened up to anyone who felt that pull, the sense of striving, achieving, and still feeling like something was missing. That evolution was real, but I didn't explain it to you.
Consider this me putting that right.
Whatever brought you here, fertility, purpose, confidence, or simply that quiet feeling that there's more to life, you're in exactly the right place. The show hasn't changed. It's just finally found its name.
Welcome to Clarity Within.
What if God is not outside of you, but within you? (Whatever 'God' is for you.)
In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey from religious fear and judgment to experiencing self-compassion, alignment and connection to what I call the intelligence behind life.
We explore ego, perfectionism, prayer, and the difference between striving to be good enough and knowing you already are.
Whether you are spiritual, sceptical or somewhere in between, this episode invites you to rethink your relationship with God, purpose and your own innate worth.
Do you secretly feel like you are not enough?
In this episode, I explore how the belief of not being good enough drives overworking, people pleasing, anxiety and fear of failure. We look at how this mindset begins in childhood and quietly shapes our relationships, career and confidence.
If you are tired of trying to prove your worth, this conversation will help you reconnect with your innate value, shift from lack to abundance, and finally feel at home in yourself.
Do you ever feel like you are drifting through life, successful on paper but disconnected inside?
In this episode, I explore why so many ambitious people feel stuck, lost or unsure of their direction. We look at fear, people pleasing, lack of purpose and the hidden beliefs that keep us playing small.
If you want to stop living the life you think you should live and start creating a life aligned with your heart and soul, this episode will give you clarity, courage and practical insight to begin.
I want to tell you a story, a story about a dragon.
It's a story that captures something I see in almost every person I work with, and something I lived myself for years without realising it. We build our lives around protection, chasing money, status, love, approval, because somewhere deep down, we believe there's a dragon coming for us. And the dragon feels completely real. It looks real. It feels real. But what if it isn't?
In this episode, I share Michael Neill's powerful dragon story and explore what happens when we start to see that the fear driving so much of our behaviour isn't actually about what we think it's about. I open up about how I hoarded money without realising it, how much of my identity was wrapped up in my job title, and what it felt like when both were stripped away.
When you see through the illusion of your insecure thinking, when you really see there's no dragon, something extraordinary happens. The anxiety doesn't just reduce. It dissolves. And in the quiet that follows, you reconnect with something that was always there: clarity, wisdom, and the knowing that you are already safe.
You're not scared of what you think you're scared of. You're scared of what you think.
You've done the work, hit the goals, earned the life, so why does it still feel like something's missing? In this episode, I explore the three levels of happiness through the lens of positive psychology: from chasing pleasure, through achievement, to living with genuine purpose. You'll discover why external success can never create lasting fulfilment, and what it actually means to shift from an outside-in life to an inside-out one. If you're stuck, restless, or quietly wondering is this it? - this episode is for you.
When your mind is noisy, and you've lost your sense of direction, sometimes the clearest answers come not from thinking harder, but from going deeper. This immersive guided meditation invites your unconscious mind to connect with the version of you who lived fully, loved deeply, and followed your soul's calling. Find a quiet space, press play, and let this episode do its work.
If there were an Olympic medal for people pleasing, I would have won it. In this honest and personal episode, I trace my decades-long habit of becoming whoever I thought others needed me to be, from childhood through my corporate career, and the quiet pain of not knowing who I actually was. I share the insight that changed everything: that self-compassion, not other people's approval, was the missing piece all along. This episode is an invitation to stop living for others and start living from your heart.
Most high achievers believe their greatest asset is their ability to think through problems. But what if overthinking is actually what's keeping you trapped? In this episode, I share how I discovered that trying to manage his state of mind through more analysis only made things worse, and introduce a deceptively simple metaphor: the mind works like a snow globe. When you stop shaking it, clarity settles on its own. This episode will change how you relate to your own thoughts.
After a decade of infertility and a career that never quite felt like mine, I hit a moment of reckoning, and it arrived, unexpectedly, through an encounter with a baby rabbit. In this deeply personal episode, I explore what it means to stop drifting through a life shaped by "should" and to find your way back to who you truly are. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life rather than living it, this episode is a quiet invitation home.
Do you ever judge yourself for your emotions, or wonder why the people you love seem to react so differently to the same situation? In this episode, I open up about how I used to dismiss my wife's feelings without realising it, and what changed when I understood where emotions really come from. I explore masculine and feminine energy in relationships, why emotions so often create disconnection rather than closeness, and why the path to healing always runs through compassion, not judgment. You are not broken for feeling what you feel.
Einstein once asked whether the universe is friendly, and I believe your answer to that question shapes everything: your relationships, your confidence, your sense of what's possible. In this episode, I trace how my childhood wired me to believe life was harsh and judgmental, and how a gradual shift in that belief changed the texture of my entire experience. What if the universe isn't indifferent or cruel, but actually has your back? What if you are already worthy, exactly as you are?
Most of us are living out beliefs we never consciously chose, thoughts like I'm not good enough, I don't deserve to be happy, or success isn't for people like me. In this episode, I explore how these hidden beliefs quietly run the show, why they feel like facts rather than thoughts, and how even a single insight can begin to unravel them. Whether you're dealing with imposter syndrome, fear of success, or chronic self-judgment, this episode shows you that what was learned can be unlearned.
During our ten-year fertility journey, I felt a deep, burning sense of injustice that life was abandoning me or working against me. In this candid episode, I explore the habit of taking everything personally (from missed opportunities to traffic jams) and the profound shift that came with a different question: what if life isn't personal at all? What if it's simply neutral? This reframe didn't just change how I saw life's difficulties; it led me to a deeper version of myself I hadn't known was there.
As a new year begins, most people set goals from pressure, fear, or the quiet feeling that they're not enough yet. In this episode, drawn from the archive, I unpack why some goals actually hold us back, and how goal-setting from the wrong inner state can quietly disconnect us from ourselves. I share a different approach: choosing goals that evoke a powerful way of being, and holding them lightly enough that your self-worth never depends on the outcome. It's not just about what you achieve. It's about who you become along the way.
In this episode, I open up about my lifelong search for a sense of belonging. From feeling like an outsider at school and university, to people-pleasing in adulthood in hopes of earning love and acceptance, I share how old stories shaped how I saw myself. But the real shift happened when I stopped trying to belong by proving my worth and started reconnecting with the truth of who I am beyond the noise of thoughts and judgments. I discovered that belonging doesn’t come from the outside; it comes from within. From knowing we’re already enough, already loved, already worthy, just as we are.
In this episode, I reflect on a simple but powerful idea that struck me from a book I was reading: “Do you have the courage to listen?” It made me realise how often we hear only what we want to hear, or what we already know, instead of truly listening with an open heart. I talk about the times I’ve been challenged to listen to uncomfortable truths about myself, my life, and what I truly desire, and how choosing to listen anyway, even when it hurt, has led to growth, healing and deeper connection. This is about stepping out of your head and into your heart, and having the courage to hear what it’s been trying to tell you all along.
In this episode, I explore the voice many of us live with, the inner critic. I share my own experience of being unknowingly hard on myself, constantly chasing perfection to avoid judgment and earn love. As I became more aware of this critical part of me, I learned that fighting it didn’t help. What made the difference was something far more radical: acceptance. I talk about how compassion, not correction, helped me soften that inner voice, and how imagining that critic as a younger version of myself allowed me to respond with love instead of resistance. If you’ve ever struggled with self-judgment, I hope this episode helps you find a gentler way forward.
In this episode, I open up about one of the most painful moments in my marriage, when my wife told me she felt lonely in our relationship. That wake-up call helped me see just how much I’d been living in my head, disconnected from the present and the people I love. I share how childhood habits of overthinking became my coping mechanism, and how I’ve been learning to come back to presence, to love, and to life itself. This is a raw and honest reflection on the journey from numbing to feeling, from overthinking to connection, and from fear to freedom. I hope it helps you find more connection to your true self that knows you are OK, and to feel more connected to those you love.
What if you’ve been avoiding more than just difficult emotions? In this episode, I share my own journey of expanding my emotional range, from numbing anxiety and flatlining through life to truly feeling the full spectrum of joy, grief, love, and connection. We explore how our relationship with feelings affects our relationships with others and our connection to our true self and innate resources, keeping us stuck in life. Learn how to embrace your emotions without fear or judgment, reconnect with your soul, deepen your wellbeing, and allow life to flow more freely.
Are you chasing success to feel happy, or creating from a place of happiness? In this episode, we delve into the profound shift from living outside-in to living inside-out. I break down 10 transformative principles that invite you to stop proving your worth and start honouring your soul. This episode is a call to stop striving and start creating from who you really are, complete and whole.
Why do we freeze under pressure, even when we care deeply about showing up fully? In this episode, we explore the hidden ways we choke, at work, in relationships, on stage, and how pressure is often self-imposed fear rooted in overthinking. Drawing from sports, personal growth, and psychology, he invites us to see that high performance isn’t about perfection; it’s about presence. Discover how letting go of pressure and tuning into the moment can unlock your most powerful, authentic self, and release the tension and pressure we are storing in our mind and bodies.
What if there’s no such thing as normal? In this episode, we explore the stories we carry about not being good enough, our deep drive to conform, the cancer of comparison and how true freedom comes from reconnecting with who we really are. Through reflections, insights, and lived experience, this episode helps you let go of judgment, drop the mask, and discover the peace of simply being you.
In today’s episode, we’re unpacking a big misunderstanding: that our feelings are a reliable guide to life.
What if they’re not? What if fear, doubt, and discomfort don’t need to be fixed or followed, but simply noticed and gently held?
Join me as I explore how to stop letting emotions dictate our decisions and start honouring something deeper, our soul, our truth, our quiet wisdom beneath the noise.
In today’s episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest myths out there, that we can control our thoughts. From caveman wiring to corporate overthinking, I unpack why your thoughts aren’t the problem… but how you relate to them might be.
This is an invitation to stop battling your brain and start listening to something deeper, your wisdom, your heart, your soul. If you’ve ever felt trapped by your own overthinking, this one’s for you.
Today, we’re diving into a powerful reflection, one that begins with a bold career decision and ends with a deeply human question: What would I regret if I were on my deathbed today?
Inspired by the insights of palliative care nurse Bronnie Ware, this episode explores the top five regrets of the dying and how they can guide us toward more meaningful, joyful, and authentic lives now.
If you're navigating big decisions or just feeling a little off-track, this conversation might be the nudge your soul has been waiting for.
Today, I share a personal story that began with a simple conversation and ended with a life-changing realisation about judgment. It’s about uncovering the silent rules we've absorbed, the ways we measure ourselves and others, and how that inner critic quietly shapes our lives.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you're living life with the wrapper still on, this episode might just help you begin to unwrap the truth of who you really are.
Let’s dive in.
This week, we are dipping into the archive. In this motivational episode from July 2023, Russell explores the emotional weight of feeling stuck, whether in your career, personal life, or dreams that haven’t yet come alive. Through honest reflections and inspiring client stories, he reveals the power of simply beginning. Because clarity, confidence, and flow don’t come before the first step, they come from it.

- Why feeling “ready” is a myth and why action creates momentum
- How fear of regret can be a powerful motivator for change
- What mountaineers, baby photographers, and award-winning filmmakers have in common
- Why commitment isn’t a feeling, it’s a choice
- The one question that can unlock your next move
This episode is a rallying cry to stop waiting, stop overthinking, and just start. Because the smallest action can topple the biggest blocks.
In this episode, Russell unpacks the surprisingly difficult, but profoundly important, question: What do I really want? Drawing from his own journey of breaking free from expectations and helping clients do the same, he explores how childhood conditioning, people-pleasing, and self-doubt cloud our clarity and dampen our dreams.

- How fear of judgment and learned expectations shape our decisions
- Why starting with what you don’t want can help clarify what you do

- Practical tools to reconnect with your desires and create from the inside-out

In this episode, Russell unpacks the deeply human but often hidden habit of seeking validation from others and how it disconnects us from our own sense of worth. With powerful storytelling and raw personal insight, he guides you toward a new relationship with yourself one built on self-acceptance, not external approval.
You’ll discover:
- Why chasing praise keeps you anxious, burnt out, and unfulfilled
- How validation-seeking begins in childhood and becomes an unconscious habit
- Why even praise can't fix the "leaky vase" of self-judgment
- The link between people-pleasing, burnout, and fear of criticism
- A powerful forgiveness practice to release self-judgment and reclaim your truth
This episode is a compassionate call to stop outsourcing your OKness and start living from your own inner knowing.
In this episode, Russell explores the often-overlooked power of trusting your inner voice, the quiet wisdom that lives beneath the noise of your busy mind. Through real-life stories, vulnerable reflections, and transformative client breakthroughs, he unpacks why clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder, but from listening deeper.
You’ll discover:
- Why you struggle to make decisions (and what to do instead)
- How your mind’s fear-based noise drowns out your truth
- What it really means to trust yourself even when it doesn’t “make sense”
- Why short-term discomfort leads to long-term peace
- How to honour your intuition without needing to justify it
This episode is an invitation to stop overthinking and start listening to the wisdom within, the part of you that already knows what’s right.
In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, Russell dives deep into a struggle so many of us silently face: the relentless hum of a busy mind. Drawing from personal experience and the transformative journeys of his clients, he unpacks the real reason our thoughts feel so overwhelming and why trying to manage or silence them rarely brings the peace we seek.
You’ll discover:
- What a busy mind actually is (it's not just about negative thoughts)
- How distraction, stress, and disconnection stem from a misunderstood place
- Why constant stimulation feels necessary but keeps us stuck
- The innocent roots of overthinking (and why judgment keeps us trapped)
- How loving acceptance and compassion, not control, are the keys to inner calm
Whether you're seeking more presence, clarity, or connection, this episode offers a powerful invitation to return to the quieter, wiser self within you.
So often in life, we hold back from playing full out, going for what we want, being who we want to be, speaking our truth, all out of fear. In this episode, we explore what it means to play full out in life, what typically stops us and how we can live a life of no regrets.
This week we are diving in to the arhcive, this time from March 2023. We explore why expectations are toxic and how they rob us of appreciation in life and set us up for disappointment and frustration.

We all feel it from time to time, some more than others. Guilt. Guilt can keep us stuck and trapped in people pleasing and perfectionism, keeping us in a place of dis-ease, worry and unhappiness. In this episode, we explore how you can be free from guilt and still be a nice person!
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 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.

Through my own vulnerability and insight, I invite you to explore your own path to freedom, purpose, and self-connection.
In this episode, we’re exploring one of the biggest barriers to genuine connection in relationships: judgment, and how it quietly undermines our ability to truly understand and be understood.

In this episode, we explore the hidden cost of overthinking and the freedom found in letting go of the need to know.

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.
What would happen if you could truly KNOW you are OK, and will be OK whatever happens in life? In my experience, my mind and body relax. It creates a sense of ease, relief and happiness in the moment. My mind opens to a sense of possibility more easily. I allow myself to dream dreams and turn those dreams into projects. In this episode, we explore the idea of innate wellbeing and how we can recognise it within ourselves more easily.
I drifted through my corporate career. I may have drifted up the organisation chart, but I didn't have a conscious goal or idea of what I really wanted for my career or life as a whole. When I started to explore what I really wanted, I realised I needed to change direction in a big way. In this episode, we explore what drifting is, why we do it and what we can do to consciously create the life we want.
In my experience, people-pleasing leads to chasing a feeling of contentment and fulfilment and never achieving it. It's an exhausting treadmill that is fuelled by low-level fear and anxiety of being judged or rejected. In this episode, we explore how to free yourself from being a people-pleaser, bringing more ease and flow into your life and body whilst still being a kind and caring person!
How come some days or times feel like you are in flow and at other times, life feels like hard work, or you feel 'out of sorts'? In this episode, we look at the different levels of our sense of self and what it means to be in alignment, which brings clarity, inspiration and impactful action.
There is always more we can do in life. At the same time, we know being more present is good for our well-being. In this episode, we explore why slowing down doesn't mean you loose your edge, it means you can be more effective, productive and happier. So what stops us doing it?
Are you an overthinker? I can be addicted to my thinking. We know it doesn't serve us, but we can find it hard to break the cycle. In this episode, we explore what is behind overthinking and how we can begin to break free from an addiction to thinking to have more ease, peace and presence in life.
There are times I feel frustrated with life. Experiencing infertility felt unfair and I was angry with life. In this episode, we explore why we are creating our own frustration and what we can do to let it go as it holds us back in creating the things we want in life.
I think many people can relate to a fear of failure. However, often, what we are scared of is not failure but success. This may sound strange, but in this episode, we explore why the fear of success may be holding you back from creating what you want in your life.
I help clients create the family they crave, the work-life balance they want, and the success they want. Whether it is a CEO, Olympian, or wanna-be mum, one of the most common attributes of my clients is Imposter Syndrome to one degree or another. A lack of self-confidence and self-worth. In this episode, I help you explore whether you may have Imposter Syndrome and how you can let it go!
Are you all in? This may seem like a silly question when often personal development can become all-consuming. Whether it's the career, baby or learning to have less stress. But at the same time, we often are not all-in, we are not playing full out in committing to honouring our heart's desires, despite any fear. Can you be all in and for it not to be all-consuming? I believe you can. In this episode, we explore what being 'all in' really means.
Do you worry about not never being happy? Or not having enough money? Or always in a rush. We are in one of two mindsets: lack or abundance. A lack mindset can keep us from creating what we want in life, whether the baby or promotion. This episode explores the difference between lack and abundance and how you can be more in abundance to help you achieve your goals more easily.
Do you ever wish you could change some aspects about your partner? What if I told you, could you change your partner and make them more of the person you want them to be?! In this episode, we explore how to do just that!
Surely goals are useful? What if not having goals mean you drift through life without purpose? What if the goals you have are holding you back? In this episode, we explore how to make goals work for you and to ensure they don't hold you back, and whether even having goals serves you at all.
Many of my clients have limiting beliefs about themselves that they have had for many years, even decades. How do we let go of these old patterns that seem so ingrained? Surely, it takes a long time to do that? In this episode, we explore why that is not the case and how true, organic, life-long change happens. It may be easier than you think!
When we peel away the layers of thoughts and beliefs, one of the core beliefs that most of my clients have, and I had and still have from time to time, is not being enough. Not worthy enough, or good enough, or having enough. This manifests in many ways, whether in self-confidence, fear of not having enough money or time, or thinking you have to prove yourself. In this episode, we peek beyond the veil of this story to explore what it means to KNOW you are enough.
There is so much about life we can learn from improv comedy. There may be no script, but there are a set of principles improv comedy actors need to follow to make it work. In my experience, these principles can help us have more contentment and freedom in life. In this episode, we explore these principles to bring more freedom and possibility to life.
Many people don't do what they want to do or be who they want to be because they don't feel confident enough. They think confidence is a prerequisite to doing something when, in fact, confidence is a feeling you get after having done something. In this episode, we explore why confidence follows choice and the importance of making choices that honour your soul.
This week is something different, and I think something special! I share one of my favourite meditations. In this mediation, you get to meet your future self, who has perspective and clarity on what's important in life. You receive guidance and advice from your future self to help you create a life of no regrets. Enjoy!
Do you consider yourself an addict? We are all addicted to something. You may or may not be addicted to sugar, your phones, vaping, or ther substances or behaviours but in my experience, most people are addicted to thinking! Over-thinking. Worry. In this episode, I share what I've seen as 3 keys to dealing with my own addictions and my clients, whether it's a substance, behaviour or worry.
Orr's law states: What the thinker thinks, the prover proves. When we understand this and see it playing out in our and other people's lives it can be incredibly empowering. It can free is from habitual thought patterns that don't serve us. So this week, we do exactly that!
We are often brought up not to be big-headed. I often get clients to 'boast' about how great they are. They can't do it! They list facts, but it feels like boasting. One thing I have had to learn is that claiming our gifts isn't about being better than someone else.
"The more space we take up in the world, the more we give others permission to do the same." Jacob Collier.
My coach shared this poem with me. It really spoke to me. I want to share it with you so you can know you have gifts for the world. The more you share them, the more flow comes to you and the more you feel alive to life.
Cargo
by Greg Kimura
You enter life a ship laden with meaning, purpose and gifts
sent to be delivered to a hungry world.
And as much as the world needs your cargo,
you need to give it away.
Everything depends on this.
But the world forgets its needs,
and you forget your mission,
and the ancestral maps used to guide you
have become faded scrawls on the parchment of dead Pharaohs.
The cargo weighs you heavy the longer it is held
and spoilage becomes a risk.
The ship sputters from port to port and at each you ask:
"Is this the way?"
But the way cannot be found without knowing the cargo,
and the cargo cannot be known without recognizing there is a way,
and it is simply this:
You have gifts.
The world needs your gifts.
You must deliver them.
The world may not know it is starving,
but the hungry know,
and they will find you
when you discover your cargo
and start to give it away.
This week we are diving into the archives from Oct '23. It's one of my favourite topics as it's had such a big impact on me personally. We have parts of us that we often resent and wish we didn't have them. Perhaps it's the worrier in us that worries unnecessarily. In this episode, we explore how we can utilise these parts of us so they become the key to our success.
Connection is a wonderful feeling. Whether feeling connected to our partner, friends, or even ourselves. Connection is key to contentment, communication and feeling loved and understood. In this episode we explore how to create connection with others and our true selves, and what typically gets in the way.
Purpose brings meaning. Purpose is the key to motivation. Positive psychology says a purposeful life is the highest level of happiness. So, how do you find your purpose? About 20 years ago I started by Googling 'how to find your purpose'. Google or even AI won't tell you your purpose. So how do you find it? In this episode, I'll let you know what I've learned over the last 20 years to point you in the right direction!
What if you could feel loved unconditionally? In this episode, I talk about my personal experience with feeling loved and the one thing that made all the difference to me, but it's something I often avoid talking about. But here I bear all hoping it serves you in a similar way.
Everyone experiences fear to one degree or another. Fear can hold us back from creating the life we want. Fear fuels anxiety. Fear creates tension in our life (and our bodies). We can't stop feeling feeling fear, as we can't control or choose any of our emotions. In this episode, we look at how we can change our relationship with fear in a way that gives us more peace and ease and empowers us to create more of the life we want.
Many people are scared of the unknown. We like the familiar. It feels safe. I recently did a coaching programme with a coach. I called it Beyond The Edge.

In this episode we explore how you can go beyond your edge to where the magic of your life lives.

This week we are diving into the archive from Jan 22. One of the most popular but contraversial episodes!
Affirmations can be very popular in the world of personal development. Let's face it, they don't work! It ends up being a battle between old thougths and new thoughts. Trying to pursuade yourself of something you don't fully believe. In this episode we unpack why they don't work, why they can actually make things worse, and what to do instead!

In this episode we explore what does all in really means.
The Beeltes famously sang 'all you need is love'. I sign of my emails 'Loving You, Russell' regardless of who it is going to, whether a CEO or colleague. It recently lost me a client. So why do I do it? In his episode I explore that I believe to be the core to what you want create in your life, whether a baby, more happiness, less stress or the promotion. Love.

In this weeks episode we dive into one of the popular episodes from the archive. Back with new episodes next week!
We are creating all the time. We may not think we are creating what we want in life, but we may not realise we are also creating what we don’t want. In this episode we explore how we are powerful creators, creating all the time whether we realise it or not. The more we see it, the more we can harness the power to create more of what we want.
This week we look at an episode from the archive. Life can often feel unfair or a series of circumstances we have to endure. In this episode we look at how we can feel more empowered and like a creator despite our circumstances and limiting beliefs.
I used to think I was a worrier and that it was my personality type. No-one is born a worrier. We learn it. Which is good news as it's not our innat self. In this episode we look at how we can stop worry and anxiety preventing us from being the person we want to be and creating the life we want.

One from the archive (Sept 23) this week. We spend more time thinking than is useful. A lot of my clients agree they are ‘over-thinkers’ and can benefit from a calmer mind. When we have a calmer mind we get clarity, perspective and our innate wisdom can kick in. This brings more ease and flow as we navigate life. In this episode we explore how you can do that by recognising the two types of thought and spending more time in the more useful one!
Some time ago, I shared my favourite meditation, so I thought it was about time I shared it again.

Having an engineering background, I find models can be a helpful way of understanding things that appear to be complex. Relationships can be very complex! In this episode, I share a simple model that I and my clients have found incredibly helpful. It helps understand what creates disconnected relationships and how to foster more moments of connection.
I am actually describing a very visual model, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/lSGDtDq6ODQ
I recently read William Whitecloud’s The Magician’s Way. It loved it. It explores our innate capability to create a magical life. In this episode, we explore William’s 7 secrets to magic to see what we can learn about getting out of our own way and tap into our innate power to create magic in our lives - creating more happiness and success with more ease and wellbeing.
I tried so hard to be a good boy so I wouldn’t be in trouble. I always saw myself as a kind man. It was an eye-opener to realise I could be judgemental. Then it all made sense. I feared others judgements of me. I judged myself. Judgements played such a big part of my life, why wouldn’t I judge others? Judgements constrict us. They paralyse us from being happy and creating the life we want. In this episode, we explore how we can be free of judgements.
Fear of the unknown can be paralysing. It stops us from being in a creative flow, being expansive and living a life of possibility. In this episode, we explore what is behind it and how we can stop it from contaminating our ability to create a life of possibility.
A Steve Jobs quote came back into my life recently and it really struck a chord. My fear of rejection has been projecting my heart, creating tension in life (and my body) and it stopped me from following my heart. It was the cause of my worry and even my infertility. I unpack this quote and explore how we can follow our hearts more fully and create a life of possibility and purpose.
If, like me, you find yourself often in a rush and striving to achieve a goal, you may benefit from hearing in your heart that there is nowhere to get to.

When I first heard the idea that you can be right or in a relationship it was very sobering. I like to be right! In this episode, we explore how we can create deeper connection in relationships by letting go of the need to be right.
Do you worry about this? Do you think things can’t come easily? Are you superstitious? I never considered myself superstitious, but I have come to realise that many people are without realising it. It is disempowering. In this episode, I explain how if you worry, you may be superstitious without knowing it and what you can do to be more empowered.
Expectations are toxic. Do you have expectations of yourself? Of others? Of life? Do you feel others have expectations of you?. These expectations will probably be impacting your wellbeing, happiness and ability to succeed. In this episode we find out what you can do to let them go (whilst still maintaining the standards you want).
One from the archive. “There is no good or bad but thinking makes it so” Shakespeare. What if he was correct? How can that be true when we experience so much suffering and challenges in life? Surely murder is wrong? When we begin to grasp the idea that it may be true it can bring an immense sense of freedom, possibility and flow to our minds and bodies.
Why do we find it hard to break old patterns of thinking and behaviour that we know don’t serve us? Why is it we can feel stuck, which can lead to frustration or disillusionment?

Why is it that when we are experiencing challenging circumstances, some days feel better than others? In this episode, we explore how to have a better state of mind more often.
We generally pay more attention to our feelings than is helpful, which means our feelings can tend to get in the way of us being who we want to be and creating more of what we want in our lives. In this episode, we explore why we can’t trust our feelings and how we have a more reliable guidance mechanism than feelings.
I used to wear my superhero cape with pride (metaphorically!). However, it’s exhausting. Constantly trying to be perfect to avoid judgment or rejection. In this episode, I explore how it’s OK to be human and how we can stop trying to be the superhero we think we need to be. This brings more ease and flow into our lives and bodies.
Do you find it hard to know what you really think, want or what to do in a situation? How do you know your truth in big decisions or how do you not let the fearful thoughts hold you back from honouring your truth? In this episode, we explore how to listen to and be more connected to your truth.
Do you find yourself putting off things you want to do? Do you think you procrastinate? What if procrastination doesn’t exist? In this episode, we explore what is really going on behind putting off the things we know we want to do and what we can do to get them done.
Where does happiness come from? Are we looking in the wrong place for happiness? Research shows that perhaps we are. In this episode, we explore where true happiness comes from, and the more we live in that place, the more we create what we want in life.
Fear impacted my happiness, well-being and even my fertility. In this episode we explore the nature of fear and why we can feel the fear and do it anyway and release the fear and tension from our lives and bodies.
Many of my clients would say they were perfectionists and they don’t like that aspect of themselves. They can see it causes unnecessary stress. In this episode we explore what is behind perfectionism and how we can let it go and have more ease and flow in our lives and bodies.
Whatever you are navigating in life what if you had the best coach/guide/expert within you to guide you through life with the least resistance, on a path that brings the most fulfilment?

In his episode we explore how we can hear our innate wisdom more clearly, a part of us that knows we will be OK whatever happens which gives perspective and clarity in situations.

What if striving prevents us from being our best selves and creating more of what we want? In this episode, we explore what we need instead, flow, and how to live more from the place of flow.
‘What should I do?’ is a question we ask ourselves. It presupposed we need to do something. We are addicted to taking action. There is a step before action that ensures we do take the most effective action for us and also makes our commitment to actions more effortless. That is our BEing. In this episode, we explore what I mean by that and how it can help you create more of what you want in life with more ease and flow.
What if we could live a life without any regrets? What if we could die complete, being content with our life and who we became? What would those things be? Who would you have become? In this week’s episode, I take you on a magical journey through a relaxing meditation to connect to your future and ensure you are on track to create a life without regret and make 2024 a significant year for you.
One of the things that often drives us to create the things we want in life, whether it’s the relationship we want, a more inspiring career or getting pregnant, is to believe we are good enough. Our (often unconscious) avoidance of judgement and rejection holds us back from creating the life we want with more ease. It also puts tension into our bodies. In this episode, we explore how we can be more immune to judgement and rejection.
I help clients create the family they crave, the work-life balance they want, and the success they want. Whether it is a CEO, Olympian, or wanna-be mum, one of the most common attributes of my clients is Imposter Syndrome to one degree or another. A lack of self-confidence and self-worth. In this episode, I help you explore whether you may have Imposter Syndrome and how you can let it go!
One of the most common questions I get asked is whether it is possible to change life-long beliefs that may be holding us back from creating what we want in our lives and having more ease and well-being. In this episode, I explain why you can change life-long beliefs and why it is easier than you think!
We may think we know what we want to conceive in our life, but do we really? In this episode, we explore what may be stopping you from knowing what you REALLY want in life, and if you know what you want, what may be stopping you from creating it.
What has your identity got to do with being successful in making the changes you want in life or creating the baby or promotion you crave? What is your identity? Who do you say you are? In this episode, I explore why these are fundamental questions and give you a direction to look in that brings you significantly closer to success.
How do I help people get pregnant, get the job they want, or be happier? I would say the key principle behind success is knowing you are loved for who you are. In this episode, we explore why I think self-love is the secret sauce to creating the things you want in life.
I often say acceptance is the WD40 of change, the oil that helps us get unstuck and create the things we want more easily. How can you have acceptance when life feels difficult, and you feel stuck? In this episode, we explore what acceptance really is and how it can help you conceive the life you want.
Do you worry about not never being happy? Or not having enough money? Or always in a rush. We are in one of two mindsets: lack or abundance. A lack mindset can keep us from creating what we want in life, whether the baby or promotion. This episode explores the difference between lack and abundance and how you can be more in abundance to help you achieve your goals more easily.
I think unconsciously, we are attempting to create a life where we won’t have any regrets on our deathbed. Death is not a subject we often like to discuss; it is easily avoided. Being aware of the fact that our days are ticking down can motivate us. In this episode, we explore the common regrets of the dying to help ensure we are creating a life of no regrets later in life.
Do you sometimes feel conflicted about how you feel about a situation or not sure what thought or feeling to listen to? We are complex beings with many parts. In this episode, we explore how we navigate conflicting thoughts and feelings to know what part of us to trust.
Surely, believing anything is possible is a good thing, right? However, what if a part of you isn’t sure about that and gets in your way of creating what you want? In this episode, we help you see if a part of you doesn’t embrace possibility and how to let it go, allowing you to move from being stuck to having flow and possibility.
We all want to be happy, right? I think that’s what most people are looking for behind any goal they have, whether it’s to have a baby, a new job or an ideal partner. In this episode, we look at how you can be happier even when life circumstances are tough and not what you want or expect.
It’s generally known that gratitude is a useful approach to life and has many psychological and physiological benefits. In this episode, we explore how to be grateful when it doesn’t feel like you have much to be grateful for.
Do you have to heal your ‘inner child’ to be more of who you want to be and create more of the life you want? What does healing you inner child mean? In this episode we explore this subject and it may help you have more self compassion.
In my mid thirties, I felt very lost in life. We were struggling with infertility. I was in a job that didn’t fulfil me. All I wanted was to wake up and feel I had a sense of purpose that inspired me. In this episode, we explore how do you find a sense of purpose, particularly when life seems to be against you.
We spend more time thinking than is useful. A lot of my clients agree they are ‘over-thinkers’ and can benefit from a calmer mind. When we have a calmer mind we get clarity, perspective and our innate wisdom can kick in. This brings more ease and flow as we navigate life. In this episode we explore how you can do that by recognising the two types of thought and spending more time in the more useful one!

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want.
When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.
The podcast is short dose of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
The relationship with a partner can be the greatest source of love, intimacy, connection and joy. It can also be the biggest source of unhappiness, frustration and the feeling of loneliness. No-one teaches us how to do relationships! Our parents are often not the greatest role model and media bombards us with unrealistic expectations. In this episode I am look at five things I’ve learned in 25 years of marriage, working with relationship coaches and 15 years of therapy and coaching.

Life can feel so unfair, particularly when you are experiencing infertility and struggling on the fertility journey. Is it possible to let go of this anger and resentment of the injustice? In this episode we look at whether it is possible to feel like life is not unfair when it looks and feels like it is.

The emotional rollercoaster of fertility challenges can mean it’s a very emotional journey. We worry about feeling anxious or negative and think we need to feel positive. In this episode we take a step back and look at what a feeling really is. In my experience it’s looking further upstream from the content our feelings that we find what we are looking for.

Fertility challenges (and other challenges in life) can spiral us into over-thinking as navigate the contact sport of life and get the outcomes we desire. We judge our thinking as ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ and try and manage our state of mind. In this episode I want to explore what a thought it as help you find a deeper sense of peace, clarity and flow in life in a space beyond thought.

The fertility journey can feel very unjust and unfair. Why us? What have we done to deserve it? Holding on to anger and resentment doesn’t help our fertility so it can end up being a catch-22. In this episode we look at how we can let go of that injustice and find more peace of mind which is the space where you are more likely to get pregnant.

Do you think about problems more than you need to? Part of our brain is designed to see problems. It’s a hang up from caveman days when we needed to protect ourselves from predicators. In this episode we look at how we can overcome this and have more perspective, clarity and peace of mind.

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want.
When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.
The podcast is short does of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state.

In this weeks episode I am doing something a bit different. I am reading two chapters from my book Conceivable. They explore men’s typical relationship with emotions. I share this to encourage any men listening that they are not alone in their experiences and to help partners of men to understand a little more about what may be going on within their man.

My clients find their journey is like mine in so many ways. Could it be your story?

When we understand the principles of our human experience stop fighting against how our mind works and we can find peace and wellbeing far more easily. We let go of misunderstandings that stop us accessing our innate resources of clarity, resilience and perspective. In this episode we begin to explore the three principles of our human experience so you can begin to work with then instead of fighting against them. So you can stop trying to pull the door open when it pushes open!

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success. The podcast is short does of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
In January we are revisiting some the episodes from the archive. On our fertility journey each morning I would take my pile of enormous pills praying it was making a difference. I had also changed all my underwear, stopped keeping my phone in my pocket, was having acupuncture but had no idea if all this effort was going to make a difference to my fertility.
But I couldn't not do it. I'd have done anything if I thought it might help. This is how our fertility and Project Baby can become all-consuming. In this episode we look at how why we don't feel in control of our fertility and what we cando about that.

On our fertility journey I made a discovery that changed everything. It changed how I saw (and loved) myself. It led me to changing career. It enabled me to fall in to a more healthy psychological place which resulted in my body (and fertility) falling into a more innate healthy state. In this episode we explore one question that highlights my discovery and may kickstart your own.

When we think about forgiveness we think about forgiving others. What if we need to forgive ourselves for the self judgement and hard thinking we have on ourselves? It is easy to blame our past, others or our circumstances for our state of mind. At the end of the day it is our thinking in this moment, not the past or anything outside of us. In this special episode we have a powerful forgiveness ritual that is based on the Hawaiian forgiveness prayer Ho’oponopono.

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want.
When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.
The podcast is short dose of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
In this weeks episode we look at whether success has to come with striving, hard work and stress. Is it possible to create more success in your life with ease and wellbeing? Is it the striving and stress impacting your fertility and preventing you from getting pregnant?

The grief, sadness and distress of infertility is often not fully recognised. I talk about knowing you are going to be OK whatever happens. Does this mean you never feel fear or sadness? What does it mean in practice? In this episode we explore whether it is possible to know you are OK when you clearly don’t feel OK.

The fertility journey can feel very unjust and unfair. Why us? What have we done to deserve it? Holding on to anger and resentment doesn’t help our fertility so it can end up being a catch-22. In this episode we look at how we can let go of that injustice and find more peace of mind which is the space where you are more likely to get pregnant.

I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: This fertility journey so so tough, I wanted to give you a message from the other side. Don't worry I'm still alive and well, I mean the other side of the fertility journey! It's what I want you to know in your darkest times. I can look back on our 10 year fertility journey and actually be thankful for what I learned about myself and life. In this episode I share some of these gifts and what I want you to know in your darkest times on your own fertility journey.

I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: Like many aspects of the fertility journey, I think the depth of emotional distress often experienced with miscarriage is not really acknowledged by people who've not experienced it. There is grief. Grieving the loss of the baby you were so emotionally connected to from day one. There can be guilt and blame. Perhaps blaming yourself for not doing the right thing thinking that has impacted your fertility or ability to hold down a healthy pregnancy. Then there is the fear of it happening again. This is often the most significant. You move past the grief but the fear lingers on and doesn't seem to pass. In this episode we explore how you can let go of that fear and other emotions to continue your fertility journey with more peace and hope.

I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: Whether you are having IVF/ICSI/donor treatment or trying naturally, the dreaded 2WW is always the hardest part of the process. Any insecurity in our mind hates the unknown. Another part of our mind doesn’t like the idea of us being disappointed, let alone devastated, so doesn’t want you to get your hopes up. These fears lead to your mind coming up with all the ‘evidence’ as to why you won't be successful or why you shouldn’t get your hopes up. The truth is, it’s unknown. Nothing can predict the outcome, not even your thinking, no matter how plausible it may be. In this episode a share a three-step approach to help you survive and even thrive in the 2WW

I am taking some time off in August so this is a show from the archive: If we think we need something to be happy, content, fulfilled it the fear of not getting it keeps us on the emotional rollercoaster. There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a baby, but if part of you thinks you need to feel complete or fulfilled then the fear of it not happening can prevent it from happening. We cannot create anything from a place of fear. Find out the difference between needs and wants and how a misunderstanding how our mind words prevents us from knowing we will be OK whatever happens and feeling complete ahead of having a baby. The moment having a baby shifted from been a need to a desire for us that’s when the magic happened.

The fertility rollercoaster is an emotional rollercoaster. So often when we express our feelings our partner (or other people) react negatively. Perhaps they judge our feelings as unnecessary or wrong or perhaps it triggers them to have an emotional response such as getting angry. Are you bad or wrong for having these feelings or expressing them?

The emotional rollercoaster of fertility challenges can mean it’s a very emotional journey. We worry about feeling anxious or negative and think we need to feel positive. In this episode we take a step back and look at what a feeling really is. In my experience it’s looking further upstream from the content our feelings that we find what we are looking for.

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want.
When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose.

I talk about us being spiritual beings having a human experience. What does that mean? How does that help you with your fertility and have a baby?! In my experience when we begin to understand this we connect to an innate wellbeing within us, that knows we are going to be OK whatever happens. This takes the pressure off the fertility journey and creates more peace and flow for the magic to happen.

I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.

Many people on this fertility journey are fearful about being positive or hopeful because they don’t want to feel the disappointment if it doesn’t work. This fear stop you relaxing into the journey and keeps fear locked in your body, not good for fertility. In this episode we look at how to let go of the fear of disappointment and allow yourself, and your body, to relax into the journey to getting pregnant.

When I first heard it I had it spoke to my heart in such a way I still remember the exact details of when I heard it many years later. In this episode I want to share the story with you and why it spoke to me so much with the hope of it touching you in a similar way.

I share my experience of the fertility journey as a man for two purposes. One is I hope men will listen and realise they are not alone. The second is I hope it helps women understand their partners more, because sometimes men are not good at sharing what's happening on the inside!
I hope it encourages and equips men on their journey whether experiencing infertility themselves or experiencing it as a couple regardless of where the challenges lie.

Surely to create the thing you want in your life you have to put the effort in, work hard and make it happen? Unfortunately that doesn’t work for fertility and getting pregnant. In fact it can be detrimental. However, surely it’s not just about doing nothing and waiting for the baby fairies to come? How do you strike a balance between striving and allowing?

This is a bonus episode for the men!
On our fertility journey I felt emasculated. I felt like a failure as a husband and man. In this episode a very special guest, Louis Calvert, helps us explore how we can regain some sense of being in our power as a man on this fertility journey.
Louis is a coach who works with men through his programme The Power Project where he helps men become their most powerful self focusing on three pillars, Man, Mind and Mission.
You can follow Louis and find out more about his work on Instagram at @louisjoecalvert.
On the fertility journey you can find yourself having to make decisions you never imagined you would have to make in your life. They seem huge and often you can be scared of making the wrong decision and having regret later on in life. So how do you make the right decision for you?

This is a subject not often spoken to. On our fertility journey I didn’t believe it was ever possible to live a contented and purposeful life without children. It turns our that belief was one of the things impacting my fertility. So is really possible to be happy without children and how do you get believing that?

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success. The podcast is short dose of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’.

This is an extra bonus episode of another guided meditation to help you connect to your innate wellbeing and resources of perspective, clarity, resilience and to know you are going to be OK whatever happens.
Do not listen whilst driving or when you have to concentrate on something. Sit back, relax and enjoy!
A common experience on the fertility journey is the belief that you are broken. It is understandable if you’ve been diagnosed with infertility and is also common even with unexplained infertility because you can blame yourself for things not working. In this episode we look at how to let go of the belief that you are broken.

Fertility is an emotional rollercoaster. How do you you stay positive and hold onto hope when things look bleak or you just feel negative about it all? Do you even need to be hopeful?

Is it possible to improve your egg quality, and thus improve your chances of getting pregnant? Surely you are born with the eggs you have and they degrade with age so thus your fertility degrades with age? Well, this common conception may be wrong. Research shows you can improve egg quality! In this episode we find out how.

Another thing not often talked about on the fertility journey is the need to grieve the life we expected. Life can turn out very different to what we expected it to be like. This can create a deep sense of disappointment and grief. In this episode we look at how we move on from this to create the life we want.

In this weeks episode we look at something that is not often acknowledged or spoken about on the fertility journey. The fear of being pregnant. There is so much focus on getting pregnant and the fear of not being pregnant the fear of being pregnant is often overlooked. After all the infertility struggles you finally get the BFP result and then the anxiety can turn up dramatically as you are scared of losing it. Over-analysing every twinge or sensation. How do you let go of this so you can enjoy your pregnancy when you get there?

The fertility journey can involve a lot of "I can’t" whether not being able to drink as much as you want, have as much coffee as you usually enjoy or even exercise in the way you like to. This can be frustrating and also feel unfair. In this weeks episode we look at how we can let go of the negative aspects of the restrictions and find more flow to getting pregnant and Project Baby.

You may be thinking about getting some support on your fertility journey to maximise you chances of getting pregnant. We often soldier on in life and can find it hard to ask for help or invest in ourselves.
In this episode we look at what to look for when choosing a fertility coach or counsellor. I try to not let my passion for wanting people on this journey to get the quality of care they deserve not overtake me and keep a lid on my anger and frustration.

I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success.

I’ve never considered myself to be jealous of others until our fertility journey. It’s hard not to be jealous when someone tells you they are pregnant. You may want to feel happy for them but part of you doesn’t allow that.
Then you feel like a bad person for making their situation about you. So what can you do to stop this happening? In this weeks episode we explore how to let go of jealousy and be happy for others.

I believe that the success rate of IVF and other fertility treatment is unnecessarily low because the mind is not considered in the process.
Research shows that when you look after your mind you can double you chances of success with IVF. In this episode we explore this further and give you tips for you to improve your own IVF success rate.

Do you use affirmations? I know they often used on this fertility journey. Many people use affirmations to get pregnant.
I've shared before how I don't think they are helpful, they can even be unhelpful. In this episode me share why and what you can do to go beyond affirmations to help you get pregnant and create the family you want.

I am a huge fan of visualisation. I’ve seen many many times how visualisation can make a dramatic difference to fertility. However, I think many people miss the golden rule of visualisation that can make the difference between success and failure.
In this episode I give you the lowdown on visualisation for you fertility. From why it’s worth doing, how to do it and when to do it!
Here’s the beautiful video I mention that may inspire you visualisation:

For me our 10 year fertility journey taught me so much about myself and life I am grateful for. In fact, it was the personal journey I did that changed everything. My outlook on myself and life and my fertility. This is why I often talk about Project You v Project Baby. More you focus on Project You, Project Baby takes more care of itself.
In this episode we look at one aspect of Project You - Purpose. How is it possible to have a sense of purpose when you can’t have the one thing in life that you think will give you purpose? Let’s find out!

It can be really hard to stay positive on this fertility journey with so many ups and downs, BFNs and shattered hopes. Not to mention other people getting pregnant so easily.
In this episode we look at why it’s so hard to stay positive and what you can do about it - and it’s probably not what you expect!

This fertility journey can prompt us to explore different aspects of our lives and leads us to wanting to make some changes. Sometimes this can be hard.
Why is this? Why do we find it hard to break some old patterns?
How do we break old patterns of thought, perhaps negative thinking, that we know don’t serve us and just keep us stuck?
The more we bring flow back to life, the flow comes to our body and our fertility. So let’s find out!

On our fertility journey I began to think I was born a worrier. I thought it must be my ‘personality type’ or in my DNA. Most of my clients see themselves as an over-thinker, worrier or control freak.
The constant tension in our bodies caused by worry or over-thinking is not good for our fertility or IVF outcome.
So how do you shift from a state of worry to one of easy and wellbeing on your fertility journey? Well let’s find out!

I wouldn’t wish a 10 year fertility journey on anyone but there is so much I am thankful for that I learnt in it.
Things I learnt about myself and life that has a lasting effect on how I experience all of life, as well as my fertility journey at the time.
I believe it was these lessons that moved Project Baby from being a need to a desire, taking the pressure of it which allowed by body to fall into it’s natural healthy balance.
It will be interesting to see which of the five resonate for you on your fertility journey.

We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success. The podcast is short does of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’. To see help them let go of their insecure thoughts and feelings and connect to their innate wellbeing that knows they are enough and OK whatever happens. This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
Over the last few days I’ve been experiencing feelings and thoughts that I had on our fertility journey. The combination of being in constant pain that has kept me from sleeping, the pandemic putting life projects on hold and it been constantly raining for days has left me feeling fed up with life. I’ve been angry with life.
I am not saying my situation is anything like infertility, it’s just brought up a lot of thoughts and feelings about life that came up on our fertility journey.
The reminders I am getting now about myself and life are the very things that helped us on our fertility journey. So I thought I’d share them with you!

This week we look at final myth of the seven deadly myths that stop us having more resilience, peace, control, flow and happiness in life and on our fertility journey.
These myths that mean we are more likely to feel anxious, scared and angry, all the things that can actually be impacting our fertility and chances of getting pregnant.
This weeks myth is that you have to strive to get what you want in life. Surely things can’t be easy? Surely if it was easy it would have happened by now?
I want you to know it is possible to create what you want in your life without the striving and how often it’s the striving that prevents us from being successful.

Infertility is far more common than we think. It can feel like a very lonely journey but we never know who around us is having a similar experience. On in six couples struggle to conceive. Over 50% of infertility cases involve male infertility either solely or in-conjunction with female infertility. So why is it there is so little support specifically for men? In this episode comedian, TV and radio host Rhod Gilbert shares his experience of being diagnosed with fertility problems and how it felt to be suddenly immersed into the world of fertility.
Rhod has created an awesome TV documentary called Stand Up to Infertility is on BBC Wales on Monday 25th January, 9pm and then on iPlayer and also being broadcast BBC2 in the UK on 30th January, 9.40pm. I am sorry I’m not sure how you access BBC content outside the UK!
On the back of Rhod’s experience he started a campaign to get more men talking and getting more support for men on the fertility journey:
https://www.himfertility.com
This is a private Facebook Infertility Support Group group for men:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/mensfertilitysupport/
Fertility Network UK is UK based charity providing support and resources for those experiencing infertility.

Resolve is a similar charity in the US:

These myths that mean we are more likely to feel anxious, scared and angry, all the things that can actually be impacting our fertility and chances of getting pregnant.
This weeks myths are ‘I am broken’ and that there must be something wrong with me. It’s natural to think these things when our bodies aren’t doing what we naturally expect them to do. But is it true? Is it a self-fulfilling prophesy?

Like most people you are probably doing everything you can to improve your fertility and chances of getting pregnant. Whether acupuncture, supplements, tracking your cycle, reflexology etc.
What if I said you need to shave your head?! I shaved my head a few weeks ago, but what has that got to do with your fertility?
How can ‘shaving your head’ improve your chances of getting pregnant?

Affirmations are very popular with people on their fertility journey. What if I were to say affirmations don’t work. Quite a bold statement isn't it?
What about The Secret and the power of manifestation? Well, if The Secret was true, where is my Ferrari?! Advocates would tell me I am not doing it right or not believing in the power of manifestation strong enough.
In this episode we explore whether affirmations work and how they may be holding you back from getting pregnant more than you think.

So how does your mind impact your fertility?
We talk about the mind-body connection. But to me, it’s more than that. The mind and body are one system. There is plenty of research to show how the mind effects the body.
In this episode we are looking at how your mind may be affecting your fertility and how can you harness the mind-body system to improve your chances of success.

This fertility journey can feel so hopeless. Surely having hope that you are going to have the baby you want so much is a good thing? Or is it?
On our fertility journey I was longing for us to have the baby we craved so much. However, that hope, that longing was driven by fear.
What if hope wasn’t actually useful?
How do you stay strong and keep going without hope? What do you do instead?
In this episode we explore how hope may actually be impacting your fertility journey and what is better than having hope. Something that may fast-track your journey to success.

Are you doing everything you can to improve your fertility, frantically researching what else you could be doing, or to find the one thing that might make the difference to you getting pregnant?

One of the biggest fears on the fertility journey is losing hope that you’ll ever get pregnant and have the family you want. But what is hope? In this weeks episode we explore whether hope actually a good thing? Do you need hope to get pregnant? Is hope actually stopping you getting pregnant?

I was asked to contribute to a book of real life stories where a change in perspective brought a change in life. In this episode I share my story that I wrote for the book. Find out hat changed in my thinking that led to my fertility improving dramatically (without me trying, I had given up trying to improve it!) resulting in the natural conception of our son against all odds.
My clients find their journey is like mine in so many ways. Could it be your story?

This moves having a baby from being a ’need’ to to a desire. It takes the pressure of the process and their mind and body relax into it’s natural flow state. Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
The biggest cause of stress on the fertility journey is the fear of running out of time. The race against the body clock.
This fear can lead us to doing so much to try and improve our fertility and chances of getting pregnant but often this is trying to deal with the symptoms and not the cause.
In this episode we look further upstream from the symptoms and look at what may the be the cause of your difficulties in getting pregnant whether naturally or with IVF.

About the Show:
I help women and couples remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant. Based on my and my wife’s 10 year fertility journey and the work of my clients I believe too many couples have IVF unnecessarily and that the success rate of IVF is unnecessarily low. We can see how much our mind and emotions played a part in our fertility journey and when we found a place of peace without giving up that’s when the magic happened - we conceived naturally against all odds. I help me clients do the same - remove psychological blocks to getting pregnant naturally or getting the successful IVF outcome they so want. When I ask women what having a baby will give them they usually say a sense of completeness, love and purpose. It’s our fear of not having these things, a fear of not being enough, worthy that tends to be behind our fear of not having a baby. These limiting beliefs have usually been around since an early age and infertility shines a spotlight on them. Many of my clients have strived for success in their life whether career or other things. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. In fact it puts tension in the body which decreases their chances of success. The podcast is short does of insight, giving women and couples new perspectives that allows them to see their fertility from the ‘inside-out’.

Stress can impact the delicate balance of hormones required for a successful pregnancy.
How do we stay strong on this fertility journey? It can feel a real struggle at times when other people are getting pregnant, people say the most unhelpful comments, another failed pregnancy test or even Christmas and Mothers Day.
Most people underestimate the stress and distress infertility can bring. The first thing is to accept how tough it is and have radical self care.
Another thing is understanding why we feel like we cannot cope. When we feel like we cannot cope we don't realise we are not being present and we are not connected to our innate wellbeing and amazing capabilities we have as a human being to deal with reality.
In this episode we explore how you can be more connected to your resourcefulness and emotional resilience on this fertility journey.

On our fertility journey each morning I would take my pile of enormous pills praying it was making a difference. I had also changed all my underwear, stopped keeping my phone in my pocket, was having acupuncture but had no idea if all this effort was going to make a difference to my fertility.
But I couldn’t not do it.
I'd have done anything if I thought it might help. This is how our fertility and Project Baby can become all-consuming.
In this episode we look at how why we don’t feel in control of our fertility and what we can do about that.

One of the biggest sources of stress on this fertility journey is the fear of running out of time. Time and the chances of success slipping away. Michelle began working with me after three failed IVFs. She was 39 and felt incredible pressure to dive straight into her fourth IVF before the big 4-0. Psychologically it’s like 40 is the end. Why is this? Yes, fertility degrades over time but it doesn’t drop like a brick on your 40th birthday.
The expectation that it’s just not going to happen after 40 creates so much pressure and stress, what do you think happens? It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Expectations are toxic. They create self-fulfilling prophecies. They stop us from experiencing the possibility and wonder of life.
In this episode we look how you can let go of this fear of running out of time.

The emotional rollercoaster of fertility is an amplifier of fearful and insecure beliefs that you've had running in the background of your life for some time. This is why I am so thankful for my fertility journey. Not the 10 years of pain and heartache, but what I learned about myself at the lowest point when I did my own 'Project You' journey.
This resulted in me being far happier in myself, I stopped people-pleasing and knew I was OK for who I was - even before we got pregnant with our son.
What if this were true for you? What if this journey was amplifying existing limiting thoughts and beliefs that were preventing you from feeling complete, content and know the true worth of who you are in this moment?
What is your fertility telling you that might not only the gift for you in this journey but also the very thing that unlocks your ability to get pregnant.

Any insecurity in our mind hates the unknown. Another part of our mind doesn’t like the idea of us being disappointed, let alone devastated, so doesn’t want you to get your hopes up.
These fears lead to your mind coming up with all the ‘evidence’ as to why you
Like many aspects of the fertility journey, I think the depth of emotional distress often experienced with miscarriage is not really acknowledged by people who've not experienced it.
There is grief. Grieving the loss of the baby you were so emotionally connected to from day one.
There can be guilt and blame. Perhaps blaming yourself for not doing the right thing thinking that has impacted your fertility or ability to hold down a healthy pregnancy.
Then there is the fear of it happening again. This is often the most significant. You move past the grief but the fear lingers on and doesn't seem to pass.
In this episode we explore how you can let go of that fear and other emotions to continue your fertility journey with more peace and hope.

The fertility journey can rob you of your femininity as a woman (and masculinity as a man but this episode is for the women).
My wish for you to know you are the powerful, beautiful, sassy, creative, sexy, nurturing feminine energy you are.
Society doesn't value feminine energy. Men often don't understand it and are often scared of it. This can leave women feeling disempowered, misunderstood and feeling wrong for feeling how they feel.
It's time women were empowered to be fully feminine. Yes at times they will want/need to be in their masculine, but it's time we valued and appreciated feminine energy, we need more of it in society to bring more balance.

This is not just for men experiencing infertility (whether their own or their partners) but also for women who may want to understand the fertility journey from a man’s perspective.
This is what I learned, what I wish I knew and what I am grateful for about our fertility journey and my experience of male infertility.
In this episode I share how I felt as a man with male infertility. My experience of supporting my wife when she had the fertility problems and the impact to our relationship. And what I wish I knew that would have made it all much easier.

The Fertile Mind helps you let go of psychological blocks to getting pregnant. My wife and I had a 10-year fertility journey and have seen infertility from pretty much every angle.
Looking back we can see how much our mind and emotions played a role in the journey and if knew then what we know now it would not have been a 10-year journey.
I believe too many couples go through fertility treatment unnecessarily and the success rate of fertility treatment is unnecessarily low because the mind and emotions are not treated. This is also the experience of my clients.
I went on to retrain as a Coach and Cognitive Hypnotherapist and now help women and couples on their fertility journey to fast-track their journey to success.
Join me each week as I help you off the emotional rollercoaster and guide your mind and body to your fertility success.
To your success!
Loving you Russellx
Usually one or the other person in a couple had the fertility ‘problem’ and often feels guilty as a result.
On our fertility journey I felt guilty that it was my fault my wife couldn’t be the mother she was born to be.

On our 10 year fertility journey my wife and I saw infertility from every angle! Female infertility, male infertility, unexplained infertility, an infertility diagnosis, secondary infertility...
So what's the ONE thing I wish I knew on our fertility journey? What's the one thing I believe would have meant it would not have been a 10-year journey?
The lowest point in our fertility journey, getting my test result when we thought we were on the home straight sent me into a psychological tailspin. It triggered an inner journey I wasn't expecting or planning. But it is that inner journey that was the difference that made the difference. It is the same with my clients.
In this episode find out more about what specifically I learnt on my journey that unlocked things for us. So many of my clients have the same insights that unlocks their ability to conceive in their life, whether it's the baby or the career they crave.

Recorded at the start of the Covid19 pandemic lockdown this show explores the fear of not being in control.
Many of my clients have a fear of not being able to control their fertility or the outcome of treatment. In the past they’ve had a goal and worked hard to strive and achieve it. That approach doesn’t work for fertility. It’s not something you can control in the same way.
The feeling of not being control can be scary.
In this episode I explore what's behind the fear of not being in control and how we can feel secure even though we don’t have control.

Infertility and fearful negative thinking often go hand in hand. How can you stop it impacting your fertility and chances of getting pregnant?
When I talk about 100% of our experience coming from Thought, when people start to see that, that it's an inside-out experience and not out-side in, a common question is 'how do I stop my negative/fearful/anxious thinking.
So how do you stop creating the experiences you don't want? How do you stop over-thinking or worrying on your fertility journey?
The thing is, you can't. It's not about controlling Thought because at the end of the day you can't control Thought. We are not thinking beings, we are beings that have Thought.
It's about understanding the true nature of Thought and when we see that, when we have a change of heart about Thought (and thus feelings) we have a different experience of them. We can allow the self correcting nature of Thought to kick in. That is, they pass on their own, they settle on their own. Fresh thought is always coming in when we allow it.
When we stop trying to change our Thought, or resent it, or wish we weren't having it, it moves on and settles all on it's own. Our mind is designed to settle in the same way our breath calms down when after we exert ourselves.
This leads to a place of peace without giving up on your fertility journey. It's also the place where the magic is more likely to happen!

Let's face it, this fertility journey is tough. The level of grief and pain that so many couples experience with infertility and going through fertility treatment such as IVF is immense.
I think sometimes we fail to recognize the level of grief experienced on the journey.
Is it possible to go through infertility and not experience this depth of grief? What if it was? What if we could be aware of what's behind the grief and know it's not actually about whether we can get pregnant or not? What if we can connect to our innate resilience and well-being despite the circumstances of not being pregnant yet.
It is possible when we understand the nature of grief and emotions. When we realise our emotions are not caused by our infertility or childlessness even though it really does look and feel like it is.
In this episode I'll help you see through this illusion and connect to your innate resources and understanding that helps you let go of the pain and grief even ahead of getting pregnant.
It is possible to have a sense of peace without giving up trying to get pregnant.

The fertility journey is often referred to as an emotional rollercoaster. It can feel scary how emotionally hijacked we can feel. How can you control them?
Our feelings can stop us being happy. Our feelings can stop us doing the things we want to do (fear of failure). Our feelings (e.g. stress) can cause physiological problems in our body. Sometimes we think we'd be much happier, more successful and more in control of our lives if it wasn't for our emotions such as fear, sadness, anger, anxiety, guilt...
Why do we get emotionally triggered in the way we do? Why do we feel emotionally hijacked and powerless to control our emotion when we see someone pregnant?
Find out what stop us being in control of our emotions, even on the fertility rollercoaster.
The more we understand the nature of an emotion the more we realise we've been approaching our emotions the wrong way. It's like we've been trying to pull a door open, working really hard to be more in control of how we feel, when the door pushes open!

So often on our fertility journey, I felt like a victim. In fact, I wasn't aware how much in life as a whole I felt like a victim. I was angry with God/Life/The Universe as I felt our situation and a lot of things I'd experienced over my life were not fair.
I believe 100% of our experience of life comes from Thought. We live in the experience of our thinking. However, I was challenged recently to consider the possibility that we create more than that, that we create our circumstances.
I am not 100% sure we do, we don't create the weather. However, as I show in this episode trying it on for size was enlightening for me.
As a result, I feel more empowered as well and there are times in the past I would have still felt like a victim and now I can let that go. It reminded me of the insights I had on our own fertility journey that unlocked things for us and enabled us to have our baby against all odds.
We are far more powerful in creating our life more than we think. Even your fertility. In this episode, I share how that is.

This fertility journey can result is us doing so much to improve our chances of success.
I heard recently that to create what you want in the world, including getting pregnant, you need to follow the process of DO, BE, DO, HAVE.
I was curious to know whether I believed this and when I explored it, it really made sense to me. I then mapped it over our fertility journey and it again made complete sense and I highlighted why we were successful against all odds.
So much of the fertility journey to conceiving naturally or success with fertility treatment such as IVF is focussed on what you need to DO to be successful. Finding THE thing that can male the difference.
But this process, DO, BE, DO, HAVE, highlights that the BEING is more important. Who do you need to BE in order to get pregnant and have IVF success?

In this episode I unpack this and explain why it's about coming back to who you really ARE. It's not about being anyone different.
The fertility journey can involve many big decisions. We can find ourselves having to make decisions such as whether to have IVF, donor egg, donor sperm or whether to continue to try naturally - or even whether to call it a day and stop further treatment.
We can find ourselves making decisions we never thought we would have to make. And they are big ones.
How do we get clarity in these decisions? How do we make a decision we won't regret? How do we find out what the right thing to do is?
Fertility and fear often go hand in hand. Fear of not having the thing we most want in the world. The thing our life has been building towards for so long. We can be often paralysed by fear, fear of making the wrong decision or a decision we regret.
Find out how to get clarity and perspective on your fertility journey so you can make a decision you feel is right for you.

Fertility and fear often go hand in hand. If we think we need a baby to be happy, content or fulfilled, the fear of not getting it keeps us on the fertility emotional rollercoaster.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to have a baby, but if part of you thinks you need to feel complete or fulfilled then the fear of it not happening can prevent it from happening.
We cannot create anything from a place of fear. Fear was the biggest thing that impacted my wife's and my fertility.
Find out the difference between needs and wants and how a misunderstanding how our mind words prevents us from knowing we will be OK whatever happens and feeling complete ahead of having a baby.
The moment having a baby shifted from been a need to a desire for us that’s when the magic happened. Our fertility tests improved dramatically. Our mind and body shifted into a more relaxed and fertile state.
