A New Way of Being

Shannon had read the books and understood non-duality “in her head” – but was still suffering and abandoning herself. In this short client conversation, she describes the quiet shift into a stable sense of presence where emotions still arise but no longer consume her.
If you resonate with knowing the concepts but not yet living them, this is the heart of my 1:1 coaching.

What if your harshest inner critic isn’t the enemy, but a confused part of you that’s desperately trying to keep you safe?
In this episode, I speak with Loch Kelly – non-dual teacher and psychotherapist – about how to transform self-attack into genuine inner support.
We explore:
Why big spiritual openings don’t automatically heal shame, anger or insecurity
How the inner critic is actually a protective part, not a defect
The trap Loch calls the “witness protection programme” – when mindfulness makes you numb, not free
How to relate to fear, shame and anger with real compassion, without bypassing
Moving from head to heart and living from what Loch calls awake loving flow
Loch also guides a couple of short “glimpses” you can follow along with, to experience this shift directly as you listen.
If you’ve done “the work” but still feel hijacked by your inner critic, this one’s for you.

A conversation with Britain's incoming Prime Minister. Note: This conversation with Andy Burnham was recorded a few years ago now (2019) - during my 'what sport can teach us about life' days.

In this conversation, Andy Burnham shares why he sees sport as a “miracle cure” for a divided world. We talk about his emotional Boston Marathon run for the Manchester Arena families, the pivotal Hillsborough anniversary that changed his life and politics, and how football, cricket and rugby can heal cities, challenge injustice and shape public policy. We also explore sport as “intensified life” – touching on racism, mental health and social prescribing

What if awakening doesn’t save you from your feelings – but asks you to feel everything more honestly?

In this conversation, I speak with Saja Fendel, who went from a violent, chaotic adolescence and suicidal despair into a terrifying psychedelic collapse where he believed he’d caused all the suffering in existence – and then to a deep recognition that at a fundamental level everything is love.

We explore:

How unresolved pain and fear can masquerade as “spiritual seeking”
Why awakening is not an escape from your trauma or your responsibilities
The difference between non‑stick experience and spiritual bypassing
Taking responsibility in relationships even when “no one is doing anything”
Moving beyond the old guru‑student model into friendship, humour and normality
Why fun, play and adventure are essential on the path
This is a conversation about being fully human and fully awake – not one or the other.
