Hands Up If You're Human

Wyndham is on his own this week as he offers the 4th of the Inalienable Truths for you all to contemplate.  This Inalienable Truth is about the primary motivators for the decisions we end up making. Bringing our awareness to what our truest and simplest motivations are can help us decide whether those automated patterns of decision making are still serving us, and if not, what we can do about it....

After a longer break than intended Hands up If You're Human is back and Lisa and Wyndham couldn't be happier about it. But the summer break hasn't been all beaches, sunsets and life experienced in an easy flow. One of the reasons this podcast exists is because of the uncertainty and rollercoaster nature of our lives as human beings and our commitment to accepting and working with th...

Welcome to the third episode in the HUIYH bonus series where Wyndham offers another "Inalienable Truth" for you, our listeners, and for Lisa to contemplate and reflect on. These episodes speak of the truths that lie next to our hearts. Not the stories we tell ourselves. Not the things we think we believe and believe to be true. Not the truths that make us feel better or worse. Simply the...

We've all had moments in life where we are tantalising close to achieving something we have set our sights and heart on only for us to do something that derails it.  It might look like old habitual patterns of behaviour repeating themselves. Or, choosing the "known" over the "unknown" even when the known represents chaos. It might be driven by a BluePrint conditioned lack...

Welcome to the second episode in the bonus series where Wyndham and Lisa offer an "Inalienable Truth" for your consideration and reflection. These episodes speak of the truths that lie next to our hearts. Not the stories we tell ourselves. Not the things we think we believe and believe to be true. Not the truths that make us feel better or worse. Simply the universal truths without judge...

One of the frequently listed "secrets" of successful relationships is good communication. But what does that actually mean, how many of us would genuinely say they do it well (spoiler alert, not that many), and why is it so hard to do? Lisa and Wyndham reflect on their relationships with partners, friends and family to try to figure out why we often feel defensive, how easy it is to misu...

Join Lisa and Wyndham for a new series of bonus episodes that speak of the truths that lie next to our hearts. Not the stories we tell ourselves. Not the things we think we believe and believe to be true. Not the truths that make us feel better or worse. Simply the universal truths without judgement, without favour and without the biases created by our emotions. These are the Inalienable Truths we...

We may crave certainty in our lives but the Universe doesn't work that way, except in one specific area.  Every single human being on this planet will experience grief, multiple times. And not just as a result of a loved one's death. There are so many experiences in life that can generate the overwhelming emotional tsunami of grief. In this episode Lisa and Wyndham break one of the last...

It's time to get too know Wyndham a little bit better, so today's episode is (some of) his story. Wyndham talks about his first identity and powerful childhood experiences which he has come to realise shaped his BluePrint and therefore how he thought and acted for decades. He speaks about a 20 year professional career he felt trapped in, and he talks about the people and events that set...

Listen to this follow on episode from yesterday's Episode 5 because some important things went unsaid. It is simply impossible to genuinely reduce someone's life down to a little over an hour of conversation. And in our conversation for Episode 5, Lisa felt some important elements went overlooked.  So, instead of rerecording the entire episode and almost certainly losing some of the gold...

Today we get to know Lisa a little better. *** TRIGGER WARNING *** In this episode Lisa talks us through some of the significant episodes and experiences from her life. These include conversations around mental health, suicide, and sexual assault. Lisa has always said she is happy to share her wounds, not her scars, and this episode is remarkable in not only showing what we as humans are capable o...

Draft “Boundaries are, in simple terms, the recognition of personal space.” Asa Don Brown “When we fail to set boundaries and hold people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behaviour or a choice.” Brené Brown In which case why do we find it so hard to recognise and honour our personal space? Give this...

We had lots of comments when we announced that we would be talking about Imposter Syndrome in this episode. Which suggests it's something that more people experience it than don't. So we cover a lot of ground, from Lisa and Wyndham's own experiences to the thoughts and experiences of some of our listeners. Is Imposter Syndrome our fault?  What's causing it? Is it always a bad t...

In this episode Lisa and Wyndham discuss the thorny and often debilitating topic of perfectionism. From Wyndham's recent realisation that he has been a perfectionist for 37 years without knowing it, to Lisa's reflections on being a "recovering perfectionist", this conversation covers a lot of ground.  From the childhood incidents that were probably the genesis of their perfecti...

Welcome to our new podcast, dedicated to exploring and celebrating the messy reality of being human. In these conversations we will be discussing the many challenges and barriers we all face that prevent us feeling connected, fulfilled and happy, and explore the ways we can create the lives we really want to live by understanding, accepting and fully embracing all that we are. From our innate gift...
