| 6/18/26 | ![]() Let yourself be misunderstood | In this episode, I’m exploring why certain kinds of conflict feel especially painful for perfectionists - especially when someone projects something onto you that doesn’t feel true.I look at what happens when another person’s fear, history or trauma gets laid at your door, and why that can hit so hard if you’re already wired to question yourself, defend yourself, and try to make everything fair, right and repairable. I talk about projection, conflict, inner authority, the urge to explain yourself, and the trap of taking responsibility for something that was never yours to carry.This is really an episode about being misunderstood, losing contact with yourself in the moment, and learning - however imperfectly - to choose dignity, boundaries and self-trust instead.If you’ve ever found yourself caught in a painful dynamic where you wanted desperately to fix things, prove your goodness, or stop someone seeing you through the wrong lens, this one might land.

| 6/16/26 | ![]() You’ll be OK - healthy masculine presence in a chaotic world | I’m back from my first men’s retreat in Sweden - a deep, embodied exploration of masculinity, sensitivity, self-leadership, and love.I share what struck me most: that healthy masculinity is about grounded presence and love. It’s steadiness in uncertainty. It’s the capacity to hold tension, to protect what matters, to stay open-hearted, and to bring clarity and care to yourself and others.I explore what it felt like to be in safe male company, what masculine play and strength awakened in me, how hope and self-trust showed up on a difficult journey home, and why the phrase “you’re going to be okay” is becoming such a powerful anchor in my life.This is an episode about re-fathering yourself, making room for sensitivity, and discovering that masculine presence can be loving, simple, honest and deeply healing.

| 12/2/25 | ![]() The tyranny of taking life (and yourself) too seriously | In this episode, we explore the tyranny of taking life too seriously - that joyless, over-responsible, heavily burdened state that achievers, perfectionists, caretakers, people-pleasers and “grown-up good boys and girls” know all too well. From the trenches of self-improvement fatigue, I look at how seriousness becomes a self-reinforcing way of being in the world - one that mistakes control for safety, purpose for productivity, and endurance for worth.I share why our nervous systems cling to the familiar heaviness of ‘being the grown-up’ and how that seriousness quietly drains colour and aliveness from our lives, and what helps to shake it loose again: irreverence, mischief, distraction, connection, and following what feels alive.This is an invitation to loosen your white-knuckled grip on life’s steering wheel - not by abandoning responsibility, but by remembering the play, pleasure, and curiosity that make being human worth it.If you often forget to have fun (or can’t even remember how to), this one’s for you.

| 12/2/25 | ![]() The Fool’s way into your inner world | Come with me on a two-day immersion in fooling - a raw, theatrical, embodied practice that invites you to meet the many parts of yourself with innocence, curiosity, and play.Part archetype, part inner-world explorer, the Fool becomes a guide into your psyche: revealing sleepy parts, terrified parts, sexy snake-bodied parts, collapsed melodrama parts, cautious parts, joyful parts - every fragment you usually hide, override, shame, or race past. Instead of fixing or analysing, the Fool asks only: “Ooh… what’s here now?”I share what I learned as I moved through my own inner landscape: how easily I lose myself in ‘other’ (hello people-pleasers), how much drama my parts can stir when I believe them too literally, how the whole system softens when met with playful non-judgement, and how fooling, surprisingly, becomes a kind of reparenting of yourself.We look at why perfectionists struggle with this (hello right/wrong thinking), why embodiment is the key to bypassing the mind’s defences, and how the Fool teaches you to let every part have its moment on stage, then bow and exit.You’ll hear about invisible rest, snake energy, Monday-morning cupboard meltdowns, the theatre of our inner world, and the art of touching your own experience without becoming it.If you’ve ever wished for a way to meet your noisy inner world - your wounds, your longing, your tenderness, your mischief - without drowning in it, the Fool might just be the companion you’ve been looking for.

| 11/25/25 | ![]() Come home to yourself: the quiet (lost) art of self-attunement & soothing | Unsettled and alone in hotel room somewhere in Derbyshire, mid-improv retreat, I explore the messy, human art of self-soothing- learning to find safety, connection, and calm within ourselves. This episode weaves together attachment theory, perfectionism, embodiment, and nervous system theory as I reflect on how people like us (anxiously attached) show up in relationship with ourselves and others, as well as in even the tiniest gestures - like reaching for your phone or social media.I share a micro-practice I’ve been experimenting with: catching the moment of “reach” and meeting it with breath, touch, and self-attunement instead of self-abandonment. We explore why self-soothing isn’t about yet more hyper-independence, but about rebuilding trust with ourselves - without cutting off from connection with others, nature, or what’s truly sacred and meaningful.Along the way, I speak about boundaries, heartbreak, relentless doing as a recovering Perfectionist, and the lifelong dance between self and other - between the child who still reaches for safety and the adult who can now hold that reach with love.

| 11/18/25 | ![]() Self, other & the space between us | Come for a walk with me, exploring the nature of self and other - what it means to be sovereign, an individual in relationship with other individuals. I record this reflection in a time of loss and transition. Expect theory and tenderness: from Enneagram, instincts and attachment theory, to the longing for union, the ache of separation, and the bittersweet truth that we come in alone and leave alone.I look at how perfectionism plays into our desire for merging and control, how we project our unloved parts onto others, and how the path to healing (or wholeness) might lie not in fixing, but in welcoming everything - every messy, contradictory, beautiful part of being human.Along the way, I find myself circling grief, dignity, humility, and love - with the quiet realisation that what I’ve been searching for has been here all along. What if you’re the one you’ve been waiting for? This is a public episode.

| 11/11/25 | ![]() How to tell you’re struggling | I’m not doing so well, and I want to talk about that.In this croaky reflection, I explore what it means to know when you’re struggling. Not just intellectually, but through bodily signals you might recognise. Like the tight jaw, restless legs, sleepless nights, looping thoughts, the quiet slide from responsibility into martyrdom. Through the lens of perfectionism, I map how easily “doing our best” turns into self-neglect, resentment, and collapse.I share my own warning signs, the ways my inner critic piles on shame, and what it means to retreat with care rather than make self-care another performance. This is an invitation to pause, listen to your body, and remember: struggling isn’t failure - it’s a signal to love yourself more gently. This is a public episode.

| 11/4/25 | ![]() The inconvenient truth of who you really are(n’t) | Sorry, but you probably aren’t who (or how) you think you are. In this episode, I explore the inconvenient truth about identity - that there’s often a gap between who you take yourself to be and how other people experience us. Drawing from my embodiment coaching training, I share stories about receiving confronting feedback (and unexpected compliments), and how these moments can fundamentally shake our self-conceptions.We look at why embodied feedback - how you feel to be around in a room, the signals your body sends - matters far more than the stories in your head. And why it’s so hard for us perfectionists to accept kindness or praise. And also how your shadow (or unconscious embodiment), left unexplored, can quietly grab the steering wheel.Feedback can be affirming or excruciatingly difficult to receive. Yet when we look past our insecurities and fear of judgment - it can be a doorway to more range, choice, and self-mastery. Because who you really are might be bigger, kinder, and more complex (ad messy!) than you dare to believe. This is a public episode.

| 10/28/25 | ![]() Attention & following what’s alive inside (not out there) | Join me in a driftwood hut on the Humber estuary, where we explore what I believe to be your most precious asset - your attention and presence, where your consciousness, focus and attention goes (and your body along with it). I call this ‘aliveness’ for short.We’ll explore why aliveness isn’t necessarily something ‘out there’ to chase, but life that’s already within you (like desire, wants, attraction) and why and how it demands expression, as well as fulfilment.I’ll share stories of how my attention can leak into rumination, resentment or numbing (like social media, phone, addiction) and why choosing where you place your attention is your most precious act of agency and asserting yourself in the world.I also map three natural, human attentional pulls (one-to-one; group/collective; self) and how your old wounds affect each of these. Join me as I wonder aloud about whether that impulse to seek aliveness from others or out there is really an invitation to meet the aliveness already within you, and then express it - through movement, play, creating, or simply walking the beach and writing messages in the sand. Along the way I touch upon the impact of grief and loneliness, the improvisational and ephemeral nature of aliveness, and how to hold yourself in strength and softness through all of this.

| 10/21/25 | ![]() Grief and all its friends | Join me in my gently swinging hammock for a soothing, real and insightful exploration of grief and loss as a full-body experience. This episode tackles some big themes like pain, dignity, and humility: what happens when something meaningful just stops, and how to meet abrupt endings without hardening or collapsing. I talk about the dance between anger and sadness, posture and collapse, and what it means to recover a sense of agency and compassion inside the ache. Grief, for me, is not just a feeling - it’s a state, a way of being (like love or joy), a teacher, and an invitation to stay open-hearted in the messiness of grief’s twin sisters: love and loss.
