A New Way of Being

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 prescribingsimonmundie.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 responsibilitiesThe difference between non‑stick experience and spiritual bypassingTaking responsibility in relationships even when “no one is doing anything”Moving beyond the old guru‑student model into friendship, humour and normalityWhy fun, play and adventure are essential on the pathThis is a conversation about being fully human and fully awake – not one or the other.My website: https://www.simonmundie.com/Book a coaching consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callFree webinar on removing fear from the body: Tuesday 23rd @ 7pm UK time.REGISTER HERE: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/w11nYiYKSpqQkNj72g3L3QFor a gift of 30 free meditation sessions on Henry Shukman's meditation app 'The Way' - click here: https://the-way.app.link/simon Hosted on Acast.

Many people struggle to say no without over-explaining — not because they lack communication skills, but because part of them feels unsafe being misunderstood.In this episode, Simon explores the deeper emotional pattern behind over-explaining and how meeting the underlying feeling with presence and compassion naturally leads to clearer boundaries and greater self-trust.If this resonates, you can book a coaching consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callYou can watch this video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HZpyxkwHVsFor a gift of 30 free meditation sessions on Henry Shukman's meditation app 'The Way' - click here: https://the-way.app.link/simonFor more information on The Way head here: http://thewayapp.com/simon Hosted on Acast.
