Self-Inquiry, Meditation, and the End of Overthinking. I sit down with anesthesiologist and spiritual teacher Angelo shares how he moved through anxiety and began exploring the nature of consciousness. He talks about his early struggles with mental health, the big turning points that shifted his perspective, and the practical ways he learned to work with his own mind.
We get into everything from Zen texts to self-inquiry, shadow work and meditation, as well as the moments in his life that forced him to question the nature of thought, suffering and awareness itself. It’s a grounded, practical conversation — touching on psychology, quantum physics, and spiritual practice — with plenty to take away whether you’re curious about meditation, personal growth, or simply making more peace with your own inner world.

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.

A few nights ago, I had a moment of emotional turbulence.
Instead of pushing it away, I followed it — and the next morning, I wrote this. Then I recorded it.
This is about shame, overthinking, and what can happen when we stop avoiding what’s uncomfortable.
It’s also about shadow work — the kind that doesn’t look neat.
In spiritual circles, it’s easy to bypass this stuff with ideas or presence talk. But the deeper integration happens in the body.

I work 1:1 with people who want to stop living in their heads and start facing what’s really driving them — especially the parts they’ve learned to avoid.

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:

Dave Asprey — best known as the godfather of biohacking — shares how our bodies pick up reality before our minds do, and why learning to trust that quiet signal is such an untapped edge.

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.

What if happiness wasn’t something you had to chase — but something already available, no matter what’s going on around you?
Emotional well-being doesn’t have to rise and fall with your circumstances. It’s about building a steady relationship with your inner world, so you’re not constantly thrown off course.
This isn’t about pretending things are fine. It’s about seeing that peace doesn’t come from fixing the outside, but from changing how you relate to it. When you stop handing your happiness over to everything out there, you get to show up with more clarity, ease and presence.
Real freedom isn’t about controlling life — it’s about meeting it as it is.

What if all the striving, achieving and chasing we do in life is actually taking us further away from peace?
In this conversation, I’m joined by coach Nick Hall to explore why real contentment doesn’t come from hitting goals or ticking boxes — but from seeing through the mind’s stories and recognising the awareness behind them.
We talk about identity, success, and the trap of believing our thoughts. Nick shares his journey from a high-pressure sales environment into coaching and inner work — and how learning to unhook from mental narratives changed his life.
This one’s especially for high performers and achievers who feel like something’s still missing — and are ready to look inward, not outward.

No one likes experiencing uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, like anxiety. However, the more we fight our internal experience, the more likely it is to fight back. Rather than resisting the internal experience we don't want to feel, by urning towards them and even welcoming them - it can have a powerful positive effect, as Dr. guy explains.

"I have to say that in the days following our call I felt as though there had been a profound shift.The days that followed were some of the best days I have had in many years as there seemed to be so much more space between me any my thoughts." - Henry
“Each session with Simon has been enjoyable and enlightening in equal measure.Through our conversations I have learnt a lot not only about non-duality and Simon’s use of his own experiences are really helpful in grasping the ideas behind it all. After each chat I really feel like my ‘cup has been filled" - Jack
"What Simon did so beautifully and directly, was put back into my hands the ability to do some self-inquiry. I did the inquiry and freedom was revealed. I would whole heartedly recommend you speak with Simon as he brings a lightness, fun and focus." - Kate

A deep and honest conversation about what happens when your identity dissolves, and how awakening isn’t what most people think.
In this episode of A New Way of Being, Simon speaks with spiritual teacher Lisa Cairns about the raw and real experience of spiritual awakening.
Lisa shares how a spontaneous shift in Bali completely changed her perception of reality — dissolving her sense of self, shaking her identity, and opening her to a sense of vast, loving awareness. Far from being a blissed-out fairytale, her journey included disorientation, vulnerability, and deep questioning.
This conversation explores:
What spiritual awakening actually looks and feels like
Why awakening doesn’t make life easier — but can make it more honest
The illusions we live by and what happens when they fall away
How to navigate the loss of identity with self-awareness and care
Why freedom is always available — even in the mess
This is a challenging and inspiring listen that cuts through spiritual clichés and gets to the heart of what it means to wake up.

In this bitesize episode, I speak to gut health expert Tim Spector about the link between the microbiome and mental health. Tim explains how the bacteria in your gut produce key brain chemicals like serotonin and GABA — and how what you eat affects stress, mood, energy and even sleep.
We also talk about the hidden signs of poor gut health, why 'five-a-day' advice isn’t enough anymore, and how ultra-processed foods are quietly reshaping our national health. I share a personal story of how fermented foods helped turn around my own anxiety — and why the gut is a good place to start if you're feeling off balance.

I stumbled across this clip from my conversation with Peter Crone and was struck by how clearly it captures something I now see in almost every client I work with. Peter explains how many of the beliefs driving our behaviour were formed in childhood — and how those unconscious stories keep us stuck in cycles of fear, overthinking, and self-doubt.
This isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about seeing through the mental patterns that feel true but aren’t. That’s the heart of the coaching work I now do: helping people drop the noise, reconnect with their inner wisdom and and move forward with more flow and ease.

In 2015, I drank Ayahuasca abroad. It was a deeply transformational moment — but also an intense, terrifying one. Ayahuasca isn’t something to take lightly. It demands real care and respect.
In this episode, I speak with Dr Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica — the world’s only medically licensed Ayahuasca retreat. Dr Jeff bridges the world of clinical medicine with deep experience of plant medicine, having worked with thousands of people seeking healing where conventional approaches have fallen short.
We talk about:
What actually happens during an Ayahuasca ceremony
Why emotional purging can be so powerful
The neuroscience of trauma, release and neuroplasticity
Why integration afterwards is absolutely essential
How the Western medical model often misses the root causes of suffering
And the kind of healing that becomes possible when we stop bypassing what we feel
I also share some of my own journey with the medicine — how it cracked me open and ultimately shaped the work I now do around inner alignment.
This is a grounded conversation about plant medicine — not as a miracle cure, but as a serious path for those ready to face themselves honestly.

Don Hoffman is a cognitive scientist and author of The Case Against Reality. His central idea is bold: what we see isn’t reality — it’s a user interface. Evolution shaped us to survive, not to see the truth.
If the world isn’t as it seems, what does that say about chasing status, possessions, or approval? What actually matters when what we perceive isn't what it appears to be?

Most people are stuck in their heads - overthinking, trying to do everything perfectly, beating themselves up - and then wondering why they’re exhausted.
This solo episode is about what I call the art of inner alignment — the shift from overthinking to calm, grounded knowing. You’ll hear:
Why burnout isn’t just too much work — it’s inner misalignment
How the thinking mind constantly creates stories (that we mistake for truth)
How to reconnect with your intuitive knowing — and why it's important
Plus a few personal stories, including one from my 103-year-old gran (who still lives on her own), and a cracking split-brain experiment that shows how unreliable our thoughts really are.

In this episode, I speak with Brian Cunningham, a leadership expert with over 45 years of experience exploring consciousness, human potential, and what it really means to lead. We unpack Brian’s idea of the Awareness Quotient—a practical framework for understanding how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
This is a conversation about leadership as a developmental journey—not a fixed set of skills, but a process of growing through different stages of awareness. We explore how connecting head and heart, being clear on intent, and staying present can transform how we show up—in our work, our relationships, and our lives.

In this bitesize episode, I speak to neuroscientist and Waking Up app creator Sam Harris about the real purpose of meditation — not just calming the mind, but seeing through the illusion that we are the mind.
We talk about why people struggle with their thoughts, how we get tangled in them, and what it means to see thoughts for what they really are — fleeting appearances in awareness.
As I often say: you are not your thoughts — you’re aware of them. This shift changes everything.

You Are Not Your Thoughts: A Conversation with Wyn Morgan - coach and speaker of the Three Principles
Drawing from Wyn’s personal journey through chronic depression and insomnia, this episode dives into the nature of thought, consciousness, and emotional well-being. Wyn shares how he went from feeling like a “tortured soul” to discovering a profound sense of peace and freedom — not by changing his circumstances, but by seeing through the illusions of the mind.
Together, we explore:
Why our thoughts are not who we are
How emotions are created — and why they're temporary
The suffering that comes from resisting our feelings
The innate wisdom and peace that emerge when we understand the nature of thought
The miracle of simply being a conscious human
Your thoughts are not permanent truths — they’re temporary experiences.
All feelings pass, no matter how intense they seem.
You don’t need external validation or circumstances to feel whole.
Resistance to feelings creates suffering — non-resistance dissolves it.
The mind is a storyteller, but you don’t have to believe every story\
