Meditation is SUCH a powerful practice.

BUT many people use it only as a coping mechanism...when it can be so much more. They use it only as a stress management tool and this is barely just scratching the surface.

One of the most exciting uses of meditation is where you use it to create targeted, positive changes in your mindset, and in your life.

And that's what we'll be looking at in this episode. We'll be digging into why medita...

Most people have things that they want to change in their life.

Also, most people experience a point in their lives where they feel stuck (emotionally or with their lifestyle) and desperately want to change.

BUT, they struggle to make it happen.

While there are lots of reasons why people find it difficult to create positive change in their life (that lasts), there are usually 3 things that stand in their way.

In this episode, I'll be sharing with you 5 BIG Lessons that I've learned from a whole year of podcasting.

I think these are important life lessons that can help you whenever you're going after an ambitious, more long-term goal.

As personal development speaker Jim Rohn once said, "The most important aspect of a goal is (weirdly) not the achievement of it, but who you become as a result of going after it".

Because those life learni...

If there's one thing that most people say they want more of it's confidence.

Statements like:

  • I lack confidence.
  • I've lost my confidence.
  • I'm having a crisis of confidence.

Are all too common.

One of the big mistakes people make when they talk about confidence, is that they talk about it as a 'single entity'...when it is, in fact, multi-layered.

So in this episode, we'll be looking at the 4 main layers of confidence and ...

When it comes to your health, happiness and success, the amount that you get of those things, will be largely dependant on the day-to-day habits that you form.

The behaviours, actions, and systems that you put in place.

Yet so many people leave this down to chance!

They go through life, just hoping that they form the kinds of habits that support them.

And they mi...

Deep down, everyone has things that they want to change in their lives…

Blocks, barriers, emotional issues, destructive behaviours…things that prevent them from getting more of what they want…

But the problem is, we’ve never been taught how to make those changes…

At the heart of many of our issues is inner conflict.

Where part of us wants to go in one direction but another part is pulling is in another.

This can cause inner turbulence, emotional disharmony, and can lead to problems like self-sabotage, destructive behaviours, and indecision.

So in this episode, we'll be talking a look at both the underlying dynamics of inner conflict and the main ways that it can show up in our life.

So what do you do when you find yourself in a crisis?

A moment in your life where everything around you is collapsing and the walls feel like their caving in…

Or maybe it’s just a mini-crisis. Everything  isn’t necessarily falling apart but you’ve found yourself in a tricky spot and you don’t know what to do.

What’s the best course of action?

Panic? Freak out?

It's not being overly dramatic to say that NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) saved my life.

It is, without doubt, one of THE most important discoveries I've made and I've spent the last 27 years of my life studying it.

And I KNOW that so many other people can benefit from it.

Spirituality is one of these subjects that can create polarised responses.

Some people totally freak out and think you're going to talk about God, crystals, and angels, whereas others are totally into it.

Why is it that some people can overcome massive adversity whereas others melt faster than a blancmange in a microwave at the first sign of challenge?
