Changing Lanes

What if the biggest difference between people who get lucky and people who don't isn't luck at all, just attention? This episode is about reframing failure as information instead of identity, and why purpose is a better career filter than ambition or status ever will be. Katie and I talk about shrinking overwhelming steps down to one small, simple step, why embarrassment only grows in sile...

What if understanding exactly why you react the way you do still isn't enough to change it? Lauren McSharry is a breathwork, mindset, and nervous system coach whose path began with dropping out of college. It felt like the end of the world at the time, but it became the first step in separating her worth from anyone else's definition of success. From there, choosing discomfort by living ab...

What if the best way forward isn't climbing higher, but stepping down? Even if everyone around you thought it was a crazy decision... Mackenzie Graham left Bath Rugby at the end of the 24/25 season, one of the biggest academies in English rugby, to get more game time at Coventry. Not a setback, a deliberate move, an opportunity to progress. This episode is about making big decisions, consisten...

What if the way you're wired was the real reason you keep knowing exactly what to do, and still can't make yourself do it? Jack Taylor is a coach and entrepreneur who works with people through the idea of the "hunter brain". A brain that is wired for novelty and starting things, not rigid structure and mundane repetition. Different isn't broken. He was never wired for the way...

Have you ever built the life you thought you were supposed to want, only to get there and feel completely empty? At 21, Andrew Jenkins nearly lost his life in a car accident. What followed wasn't just physical recovery... it was years spent quietly climbing, chasing the version of success he'd been taught to want, only to reach the top and realise he'd built it on the wrong foundation....

How do you react when the life and career you are working toward are taken away all of a sudden, with ZERO warning? Dan and I discuss the ugly reality of neurological injury and life with chronic pain, how Dan handles the uncertainty of treatment, and how he has channeled this into something he had never heard of before his injury - Adaptive CrossFit. This episode isn't really about fitness. I...

How much of your life are you postponing for "one day"? In this episode, Russell and Danielle Grant share the story of leaving the UK with a newborn and building a new life in Crete.

We explore the mindset shifts required to ma...

What if the biggest barrier to weight loss isn't a lack of knowledge, but the story you tell yourself? In this episode, we explore the weight loss conversation we're not having... The one that goes beyond diets, calories, and willpower. We talk about shame, self-worth, childhood experiences, emotional health, and the hidden narratives that shape our habits and behaviours. We also unpack wh...

What if the reason you feel stuck is that you're waiting for clarity before taking action? In this episode, career coach Caroline Hickey challenges the idea that clarity arrives in a single breakthrough moment. Instead, we explore how confidence, direction, and career fulfilment are often built through small, consistent steps rather than dramatic leaps. We talk about career change, finding you...

What if the patterns in your life aren’t a coincidence? In this episode, shadow work and emotional health coach Roisin Katie unpacks the hidden, deep emotional patterns behind feeling stuck, lost, or disconnected from yourself.

What does it actually take to reinvent yourself? In this episode, Carys opens up about the messy reality of changing direction. From pivoting careers and building confidence, to navigating grief, self-trust, and personal growth. We talk about why so many people stay stuck, the mindset shifts needed to create the meaningful change you want, and how silence, reflection, and discomfort can become pow...

Why do we avoid the things we know would actually move us forward? I almost didn’t record this episode... Sat on my bed, procrastinating, letting that voice creep in telling me I’m not as good as I think and that no one will care. In this episode, I unpack what I’m noticing around me, what it really means to create your own opportunities, and how showing up consistently starts to expose your think...

What if changing your life wasn’t about more motivation… but about making the wrong choices harder? In this episode of Changing Lanes , I sit down with Luis Bulnes to explore a more practical approach to personal development. An approach built on small, intentional decisions rather than big bursts of discipline. Through his own journey into podcasting and mindset coaching, Luis discusses how real...

Everyone loves a comeback story... The setback, the breakthrough, the moment everything turns around. But there’s a part of the story that rarely gets spoken about. The bit in the middle, where nothing feels like nothing is work... In this episode of Changing Lanes , I speak to Tom Berry from RebuildbyTom to explore this overlooked phase. The slow, quiet stretch where progress feels invisible, mot...

We spend so much time asking, "What do I want?" But what if there's a different place to start? George Hearn returns to Changing Lanes to challenge the way we think about direction, purpose, and progress. We get into how easy it is to drift into a life that looks fine on the surface, but doesn’t feel quite right underneath, and why the comfort zone is often far less comfortable than...

At some point, life has a way of pulling the rug out from under you. For Luke Randall, that moment came after losing three things very close to his heart all within a short space of time. What followed wasn’t a perfectly planned life pivot, but a simple decision that many people talk themselves out of. That one decision changed more than he expected... In this episode of Changing Lanes , Luke and...

At some point in life, many of us enter a phase of life that feels like punishment... Seemingly endless feelings of isolation, confusion, and silence. But what if that season isn’t a setback… what if it’s preparation? In this episode of Changing Lanes, Miles Rendell and I explore the hidden purpose behind life’s lonely seasons. We talk about why solitude often shows up before expansion, how the mo...

Ever feel like you’re moving fast… but not really getting anywhere? I discuss what I’ve learned from constantly rushing - in work, life, relationships, business, and even this podcast, and how slowing down completely changed the way I approach everything . I used to think that being quick meant I was doing well... That speed meant progress.... But the truth is, I was just running on stress, people...

Ever looked at your life and thought, “It’s… fine”? Not bad, not great, just a steady seven out of ten? I sit down with George Hearn to talk about what happens when “fine” starts to feel like a trap. We explore the region beta paradox . That strange comfort zone where things aren’t painful enough to force change, but not fulfilling enough to make you happy either. George opens up about his shift f...

What happens when the game ends... and the person you’ve always been no longer exists in the same way?

Oliver opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of retirement, from the moment he realised his rugby journ...

What am I really hungry for? In this episode, Sam Gibson returns to dive into the uncomfortable but deeply human topic of emotional eating and the hidden voids we all try to fill.

We explore the conversations...
