Spirituality for leaders

I have decided to dedicate the whole month of January to energy, mostly because, self-centeredly, the Norther Hemisphere is in a season where we all feel our energies at low levels but also due to running my brand new free five-day challenge on the 26th of January . For those of you who don't live in the UK, and specifically in England, a movement called Operation Raise the Colours was created in...

In the Northern Hemisphere, Winter can be a trying period in the year where our energy levels are low. They are low due to the lack of sunshine and subsequent drop in vitamin D, but also because there is a tendency to stay indoor. Nature shows us we need to slow down. In that context, Christmas arrives and uses up a ton of our energy, not just from the Planet's point of view, but our personal rese...

Barbara With has been with us in a previous episode where she talked about world peace. Click here to check it out . She comes back this December 2025 to give us predictions for 2026 from the collective of spirit guides that she calls the Party. First of all, I asked Barbara is her collective would give us a word for the year, and they said "Authenticity". I also asked what would be the biggest ch...

We have a returning guest: Chantal Vanhagen, who came to the podcast in EP 24 to talk about toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing . Chantal's Mum died earlier this year as did a very dear friend of hers and I thought having a discussion with her around how grief can be exacerbated around Christmas would be a good idea. The first Christmas (if you celebrate Christmas obviously - feel free to use...

In today's episode, I want to share six ways you can be kinder to the planet this Christmas. As with everything, what matters is progress not perfection. This was emphasised to me as I felt like an imposter joining the Green party in October as I am not vegan, not even vegetarian and I drive my son to college every day. Sometimes we don't do anything because we are not doing it perfectly and we th...

I was in London the weekend of the 22nd of November and I went to see the Christmas lights on Regent Street. This made me wonder if people believe that angels only come to visit around Christmas time. This episode is the result of that thought. Is it a yes or a no? In the episode I answer that question in depth. The short answer is yes and no. Yes the angels definitely visit us around Christmas be...

In today's episode, my guest and I explore the connection between high performance sports and spirituality. I have to admit that I didn't quite see the link when we discussed having her on the podcast but now that the episode is done, there was so much gold in it. Stephanie Kakris is a High Performance Coach with a background in sports psychology, coaching but she brings a unique angle to her prac...

Announcement: Sign up for my brand new challenge that starts on the 26th of January 2026 called Get Your Energy Back and received weekly tips on how to increase your energy levels in small and doable ways. I have just been interviewed by a journalist of Metro, who told me that it felt very refreshing writing an article about me because it was so positive and a great change from the doom and gloom....

Last week I received a birthday card from my mother after six years of silence. My first reaction was fear and anxiety. In this episode I discuss the concept of forgiveness and spirituality as applied to my personal situation with my mother. I use my example to explore several topics that link in to forgiveness after giving some context of why I didn't realise I had been abused as a child. Mostly...

In this week's episode, I explore the idea of the veil that separates the spirit world from us, where the idea comes from, why some people think it thins around Halloween and where I think the veil actually resides. For as long as I have explored the New Age, I have heard people say that the veil thins around Halloween. At first, I was flattered. For once, the time of my birthday felt special rath...

Dean James is the host of the Used To Be Do Count (U2BDC) podcast, which explores what his guests used to be because who we used to be an important contribution to who we are today and we should not abandon a part of ourselves. Dean grew up in a religious environment, not because of his parents but because of school as most primary school in England are denomination schools under the umbrella of t...

There are five steps to finding your life's purpose.

The Universe has a radically different way to look at success than we do in the Western world. In this episode, I explore those differences, how I have lived experience of it and the five regrets of the dying. From 1988 to 2005, I had a stellar career as a lawyer (I count my studies in this period as I did really well at University). Then in 2005, two things happened, I lost my job and I became pr...

The last letter of my EPIC framework to manifest success without burnout is what I call the Triple C: Clarity, Courage and Confidence. They all come under the banner of mindset, which is at least 50% of success. Without the right mindset we often believe that what we want is not for us. We are too young, too old, to rich, too poor. Whatever it is that our limiting beliefs tell us. Suppose you had...

Intuition is the third pillar of success without burnout. How so? Well intuition enables you to be in the right place at the right time, saving all the effort to get to that place. I experienced that recently in my career as an author. You can buy the Writer's and Artist's yearbook and pitch 100 agents or publishers, or... you can set your intention, write it down and opportunities COME TO YOU whe...

Our guest this month is an Anxiety and OCD therapist who shares his journey of curing his OCD. Chris started developing high levels of anxiety from when he started going to school which was fed by some of the stories he was told around religion. He reacted against this by becoming an atheist but the damage was done. He battled intrusive thoughts about death, about hell for years. Even in cartoons...

You may have heard the expression "Energy Vampires". It refers to people who suck you dry and leave you feeling exhausted and sometimes even depressed after you spend any amount of time with them. In this episode, I am going to give you my best tips on how to deal with them. Energy vampires don't only affect our lives, they also affect our businesses and careers. They can also affect you without y...

After the last two episodes that explored the Templars and Freemasonry, I thought it would be beneficial to interview a real life Freemason. Darren and I met about six months ago when I posted in a local Facebook group asking who could fix my crystal bracelets and the rest is history. Darren joined Freemasonry due to a good friend of his, which is actually quite typical of this organisation, even...

In this episode I explore Freemasonry, as a logical follow up topic from my episode on the Knights Templar last week. My research has centered around a book published in 1922 by an author called W. L. Wilmshurst and a book published by an author called Michel Maffesoli who is a former French freemason and professor of sociology. It was an interesting exploration of this organisation that made me r...

The main reason I wanted to do an episode about the Knights Templar is that I have been fascinated by them since childhood. However, in addition to that, when I did the Psychic Business Academy in 2017, I discovered that my protector guide was a Knight Templar called Antoine. I was also told by my Reiki Master that I had been a Templar in a past life. It all started making a lot more sense. I have...

We did something a bit different for episode 100. I invited my business bestie, Stephanie Kakris, to discuss the top four episodes on the podcast and have a general conversation about why I created it and what my plans are moving forward. Only 6.17% podcasts make it to episode 100 so I am incredibly proud of this achievement.  The four most popular episodes to date are the following:  #1 EP 45: Fi...

This episode was inspired by a fellow Toastmasters who did a speech on how beneficial walking in forests had been for his mental health. But it's also been inspired by my childhood love of forests – particularly the Asterix and Obelix comics. And if it wasn't enough, I had an experience with my son as we visited  Bowood  when he was 6 or 7. To my astonishment, he reported to me how distressed the...
