In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Mindset Edition, I explore how the stories we tell ourselves shape our mindset, behaviour, and self-belief. When those stories come from the Rooted Mind, they keep us trapped in fear and limitation. But when we shift into the Conscious Mind, we can rewrite those narratives with kindness, wisdom, and courage.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Mindset Edition, I explore how the pursuit of perfection keeps us trapped in the Rooted Mind. Chasing impossible standards and judging every misstep. True progress begins when we return to the Conscious Mind, where compassion, courage, and values guide our actions. It’s a reminder that mindset growth isn’t about getting it right; it’s about moving forward, one conscious step at a time.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Mindset Edition, I explore how a simple pause can transform the way you think, feel, and act. By stepping out of the Rooted Mind and into the Conscious Mind, you give yourself the space to respond with wisdom, kindness, and purpose, even when life feels overwhelming. This short reflection reminds us that mindset isn’t about control or constant positivity; it’s about presence, awareness, and the power to choose how you meet each moment.
In this special Summer Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore how to approach your holiday with intention, not just as an escape, but as a return to what matters.
By tapping into your Conscious Mind, you can shift away from pressure and perfection, and instead choose moments that reflect your values, whether that’s rest, connection, or joy. A gentle reminder that mindful valued living can turn a holiday into something truly restorative.
In this Burnout Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore how to practise Mindful Valued Living when life feels overwhelming. Discover how one small, intentional step, rooted in your values, can help you reconnect with purpose, even when you’re running on empty.
In this episode, I explore a vital distinction between power over and power with in leadership. While traditional models often rely on control and hierarchy, true influence often comes from collaboration, trust, and shared purpose. Drawing on the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method, I invite leaders to reflect on how they lead, and whether their approach aligns with their values.
Boredom isn’t a flaw, it’s the brain’s default setting. In this episode, I explain how boredom can be a quiet call to reconnect with your values. Instead of reaching for distractions, what if you took one small, intentional step? Discover how the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method helps turn boredom into meaningful action.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Burnout Edition, I challenge the common belief that stepping back means giving up. When burnout sets in, the Rooted Mind often insists we keep pushing—but true resilience comes from pausing with purpose.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Executive Edition, I explore how small, values-led actions, what we call mindful micro-actions, can spark meaningful shifts in leadership. Whether it’s choosing to listen more deeply, pause before reacting, or delegate with trust, these tiny, intentional moves create lasting impact. Because great leadership isn’t only defined by big decisions, it’s built in the quiet, conscious moments that align with who you are.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore psychological flexibility. The ability to stay open in moments of uncertainty or discomfort. Rather than clinging to rigid rules or needing total control, psychological flexibility invites us to stay curious, consider other perspectives, and respond with values-led action.
It’s a reminder that your Rooted Mind may seek certainty, but your Conscious Mind thrives on curiosity and courage.
When burnout looms, the Rooted Mind may whisper that slowing down means laziness. But in this one-minute episode, I want to remind you that self-compassion, step two of the 4-Step Change Process, isn’t weakness. It's a powerful act of resilience.
In this Executive Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore how the Rooted Mind, shaped by past experiences and deep-seated patterns, can quietly influence high-level decision-making. From avoiding conflict to seeking approval, these old stories often resurface in the boardroom, steering choices away from clarity and purpose.
This episode invites leaders to pause and ask an important question: “Is this decision rooted in values and vision, or in a past that no longer serves me?”
Tune in for a reminder that leadership begins with self-awareness, and thrives in the Conscious Mind.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Rethinking Good and Bad Emotions, I explore a subtle shift in how we relate to our feelings.
Rather than dividing emotions into “good” or “bad,” what if we thought of them as wanted or unwanted? This change in language helps us move away from shame and self-judgment, and toward understanding and acceptance.
In this episode, I explore the urge to “just power through”, even when our bodies and minds are crying out for a break. While pushing ahead might feel productive in the moment, it can come at the cost of clarity, creativity, and wellbeing.
I also offer a simple Focus Reset to help you pause, reconnect with your Conscious Mind, and choose your next step with intention
In this Executive Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I explore The Mirror Test for Leaders. A simple yet powerful question: “Can I look at myself and say I led with integrity today?” This episode invites leaders to move beyond approval, performance, or perfection, and instead focus on alignment with their core values.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore a powerful question from Dr. Russ Harris:
“Is this action moving me toward or away from the person I want to be?”
This Choice Point question is at the heart of Reframing, the third step in the 4-step Change Process used in the Conscious Mind Empowerment Method.
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting in ways that don’t reflect your values, this episode is a reminder: you always have a choice, and that choice can move you closer to the person you want to be.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom, I explore how burnout often begins. Not in a blaze, but in the background noise of quiet pressure. The Rooted Mind drives us into overdrive with stories of urgency, perfectionism, and not-enoughness.
I invite you to notice the difference between working from fear and working from purpose. By shifting back into the Conscious Mind, you can reconnect with your values, reclaim your energy, and lead with intention, rather than exhaustion.
In this episode of One Minute Wisdom: Executive Edition, I explore what it truly means to lead without losing yourself. When pressure mounts and the urge to perform, please, or conform kicks in, it’s easy to drift from your core values. But leadership rooted in fear leads to disconnection—both from yourself and those you lead.
Becoming a parent is often painted as the happiest time of your life—but what if it doesn’t feel that way?
In this episode, I open up about the emotional challenges many new parents face but rarely speak about: grief, guilt, identity loss, and the pressure to feel grateful all the time. Drawing from my own experience and years of working with clients, I explore why so many parents mourn the life they once had—even as they welcome the new one before them.
This episode offers a compassionate reframe for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the demands of parenthood. You’ll learn how to recognise the signs of hidden grief, understand the role of guilt and shame, and use my 4-Step Change Process to ground yourself, reframe your perspective, and reconnect with what matters.
With tools like the Focus Reset, the Support Group Metaphor, and the Valued Living Questionnaire, this episode provides practical guidance for navigating one of life’s biggest transitions—with kindness, wisdom, and a renewed sense of self.
In this Burnout Edition of One Minute Wisdom, I unpack the early signs of burnout and how the Rooted Mind fuels pressure, guilt, and overdrive.
Listeners are encouraged to take a moment of reflection using the Two-Minds Approach and reminded that recognising burnout early isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom.
