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.

You’ll discover:

• 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.

You’ll discover:

• Why so many of us don’t know what we truly want (and why that’s okay)

• How fear of judgment and learned expectations shape our decisions

• Why starting with what you don’t want can help clarify what you do

• How to give yourself permission to dream big and live from your heart

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

This episode is an invitation to ditch the “shoulds,” rediscover what lights you up, and start living a life that’s deeply, unapologetically you.
