About this episode

Russell Davis shares his journey from being a people-pleaser and facing infertility to discovering a life he loves.

In this special episode, I'm sharing a full interview conversation recorded in Regent's Park, London, in which I tell my story from the beginning. I talk about growing up as a people-pleaser, always looking for approval from parents and teachers. About how a corporate career built on saying yes to everything eventually left me asking, "where's me in all of this?" About discovering I was infertile, and how that cracked something open and woke me up to how conditional my happiness had become. I share the turning point that changed everything: checking myself into a convent for five days of silence, sitting in front of a barren vegetable patch, and realising I had a blank canvas. A chance to stop living from the outside in and start building a life that was genuinely mine. If you're an ambitious person who's achieved a lot but feels like something is still missing, this conversation is for you.
