A New Way of Being
My Spiritual Awakening (Kensho): What Happened and How Things Have Changed

From struggle to stillness. In this episode, I share the story of my recent awakening — what actually happened, how it felt, and what’s shifted since. It followed years of inner work, self-inquiry, and emotional processing, but the moment itself came unexpectedly during a retreat. There was a clear seeing that the sense of separation is an illusion — and with that, a deep peace, simplicity and humour. I talk about the build-up, the walking meditation that cracked it open, and how things have settled in the weeks since.

A New Way of Being
Self-Obsession: Why You Suffer (And How to Stop)

In this episode, I’m joined by Tom Davies — author of Self Obsession — for a profound exploration of why we suffer and how to stop. We unpack how our fixation on identity — career, relationships, even personality — traps us in anxiety, grief, and striving. Drawing from both Western psychology and Eastern spirituality, Tom offers a clear and compassionate path toward freedom: letting go of false identification and realising what we really are.


Key Themes Highlighted

  • Self-Obsession & Identity: How our suffering arises from clinging to a sense of self that’s always under threat.
  • The Trap of Identification: Why tying our worth to external roles or internal narratives makes us vulnerable.
  • East Meets West: Blending psychology’s tools with spiritual insight for a more complete approach to healing.
  • Tom’s Personal Story: From anxiety and burnout as a medic to insight and clarity through inquiry and presence.
  • Meditation & Self-Inquiry: Practices that help dissolve the illusion of a separate, fixed self.
  • Impermanence & Clinging: Why resisting change and chasing stability only deepens suffering.
  • Beyond Self-Improvement: The trap of always trying to fix ourselves — and the freedom of radical acceptance.
  • Non-Dual Awareness: Realising our essence as awareness itself — not a separate self, but Being.

Two Paths Up the Mountain: Meditation & Self-Inquiry – Ben Smith & Simon Mundie

Many Practices, One Presence.

Ben Smith started meditating aged six. I came to spiritual inquiry later. In this conversation, we explore the different paths we've taken — his through years of dedicated meditation, mine through self-inquiry and emotional integration.

We talk about powerful experiences, awakening, the real purpose of spiritual practice, and how it all boils down to living with love, presence and humility. Two different routes up the same mountain.

My Husband Had a Spiritual Awakening - Here's What It Was Like For Me

Three weeks ago, something profound happened. While on retreat (which I will talk about in an upcoming interview), I had what’s often called a kensho — a clear and undeniable seeing into the true nature of reality. It wasn’t a peak state, or a passing insight: it was a shift in identity. In this episode, my wife Alex and I talk about what the shift has been like, from her perspective.

The Secret to Speaking with Presence: Caroline Goyder

The Spiritual Side of Speaking: How to speak from the body, not the head.

In this episode, I sit down with Caroline Goyder — a globally respected voice expert who’s worked with world leaders, A-list actors, and high-stakes communicators — to dig into what real speaking looks like when presence is the foundation. We explore how your voice is more than technique: it’s a physical expression of breath, emotion, and grounded attention. Caroline shares stories from her work, how she helped people find authentic confidence under pressure, and offers practices to help us speak more from Being than from performance.

A New Way of Being
From Life Sentence to Liberation: Eldra Jackson on Inner Transformation

Breaking Cycles, Generational Healing and Personal Growth. This week I’m joined by Eldra Jackson, whose story is as powerful as it is inspiring. At 19, Eldra was sentenced to life in prison. What followed was years of violence, solitary confinement and, eventually, the beginning of a journey into deep inner work.


Through the Inside Circle foundation, Eldra found a way to confront his own shadow, take responsibility, and transform his life. Today he helps others do the same – guiding men through the same kind of emotional work that saved him.


We talk about the impact of childhood trauma, the prison system, and what it really means to grow into emotional literacy. Eldra also shares his thoughts on legacy – not in terms of money or status, but in how we live, heal, and pass on something better to the next generation.

Ethan Kross is a world-leading expert on the mind and author of Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It. In this episode, we explore what happens when the inner voice turns against us — and how to relate to it differently.

This is a practical conversation about taming the voice in your head — not by silencing it, but by learning how to listen more skilfully.

A New Way of Being
Ayurveda & Learning to Listen to Your Body – with Kate Siraj

A few years ago, I was introduced to Ayurveda by today’s guest – Kate Siraj – and it opened up a whole new way of understanding how my body and mind actually work. Kate’s a brilliant Ayurvedic practitioner, and in this conversation we get into the basics of this ancient yet surprisingly practical system.

We talk about the three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha – which represent different mind-body types. For me, it helped explain a lot: my racing thoughts, bursts of creativity, and that slightly ungrounded feeling that can pop up on occasion.

Kate shares how tuning into early signs of imbalance (like poor sleep, bloating or energy dips) is key – rather than waiting until things fall apart. We also explore seasonal practices, food, movement, and why trying to follow one-size-fits-all wellness advice can actually throw us off course.

Whether you’re new to Ayurveda or curious to deepen your understanding, this one’s full of gentle insights that help you come back to your own inner compass.


Show Notes:

  • What Ayurveda is and how it differs from Western medicine
  • Understanding the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, Kapha
  • How to spot early signs of imbalance
  • Why tuning in to hunger and digestion matters
  • Practical tools for self-regulation and nervous system balance
  • Tips for Vata types: grounding, routine, nourishment
  • Why self-compassion is central to true wellbeing

TRE: The Practice That’s Helped Me Calm My Nervous System

Most of us have been taught to stop shaking when we’re scared or stressed. But what if that shaking is actually the key to feeling safe again?


David Berceli has worked in some of the most stressful environments on earth. From his time in war zones came TRE — Trauma Releasing Exercises — a way to deliberately reawaken this natural tremoring reflex and let the body finish what stress started.


In this episode, we explore how TRE works, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you reconnect with your body’s own healing mechanisms.

Beyond Biohacking: The Spiritual Freedom and Forgiveness Journey – Dave Asprey

Dave Asprey — the father of biohacking — joins me for a deep dive into the hidden operating system that runs the human mind and body.

In this conversation, we explore how biohacking can be a doorway to something much bigger: real spiritual awareness, freedom from old survival patterns, and the power of forgiveness.

Dave breaks down his “Five F” framework — explaining how our mitochondria run ancient fear programs that shape how we react, think, and relate. He also shares why learning to forgive is the ultimate upgrade for a freer life.

In this bitesize you’ll hear:

  • How biohacking can open the door to deeper self-awareness

  • The science behind intuition and emotional triggers

  • Tools for releasing old stuck patterns and family baggage

  • Why forgiveness is the real superpower

  • How to rewire your inner operating system so you’re not run by fear

If you’re curious about the crossover between mind, body and spirit — and how to live with more flow and freedom — this one’s for you.

And if you want to go deeper and explore how to transcend the voice in the head and align with your intuition to get in flow, you can book a free inner consultation with me:

Beyond Thought: A Journey from Prison to Presence - Matt Tenney

Matt Tenney has clocked well over 10,000 hours of meditation. He’s also a leadership coach working with some of the biggest companies in the US. But his journey started in a very different place — as a military officer facing decades in prison.

It was during that time, especially in solitary confinement, that Matt began to see clearly how suffering really works. He realised it’s not the outside world that causes it — it’s our identification with the voice in our heads. The thoughts that tell us who we are, what we should be doing, and how we compare to others.

Matt shares how he came to recognise the awareness that sits behind all of that — and how tuning into that space is where real peace and freedom come from.

We talk about:

  • His personal story of transformation

  • How desire fuels suffering

  • What mindfulness really means — and how to apply it in daily life

  • How to create space between what happens and how we respond

  • And why happiness isn’t something to achieve — it’s what’s left when we stop believing the thoughts that obscure it

This conversation goes deep — but in a grounded and practical way. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head or caught in the trap of always needing to achieve more, this one’s for you.
