This Human Life

Giving up alcohol can be one of the hardest things to do in life. Once we’re in the arms of the “demon drink”, we can find ourselves ensnared by the sense of wellbeing and confidence it gives us, as well as the sense of escapism it provides from our everyday troubles. But dependency on alcohol is a one-way ticket to health and personal problems, and if we don’t seize the reins of this addiction, w...

Why do we do the things we do? Why are human beings driven by such a variety and multitude of differing motivations and desires? Are these needs the factors  that differentiate us from our fellow travellers in life, and are there any common needs that drive us onward? It’s a question that’s perplexed humanity since the very beginning, and which will continue to do so. Joining Paul this week is reg...

“Paul; Stop telling me life’s a simple game” In this episode, Paul challenges people who assert that life isn’t simple. He says, quite simply, that it really is. He calls back to his years of experience and learning and uses this to bolster his argument. “Just imagine you keep looking in life’s rear view mirror. What would happen? Your vehicle would crash” Shoulda, coulda, woulda? Paul wants you t...

You’re not welcome anymore. What's behind this sensationalist title? Paul says there is no wave of a magic wand to rid ourselves or others of depression. He recalls his formative years, and how the label of depression and lack of belief in authority further progressed into a self fulfilling prophecy. “I gave the power away to a label… Paul you must be depressed? And you know what? I embraced it” W...

This week, Paul talks to Kelly Brandli, a dating and relationship coach specialising in helping hearts to heal and flourish in the aftermath of divorce. Many of those seeking love after such a cataclysmic event can be distrustful of love, and anxious about re-entering the dating arena. Sometimes this distrust is justified. As Kelly explains, there are several pitfalls to avoid, including those who...

In today's episode, Paul is gunning for Politicians; Imposing choices, decisions and outcomes on millions of people through manipulation, lies and fear. The way they influence our lives through lies, week after week on all sides; feeding fear and falsehoods into the equation to the end of self-benefit and empowerment. Brexit is, unfortunately, an outstanding example of this farce we call ‘democrac...

Speaking from our hearts is a lesson we should all adhere to, but listening with our hearts is sometimes equally as important. It’s even more important when it comes to listening to the voice of youth Joining Paul today is Rhys Duncan, a seventeen-year-old with a powerful message; namely to listen to what the next generation have to say. The youth of today are often ignored, but as Paul and Rhys d...

Throughout her experience as a business coach, a term that Kym Hamer heard quite often was “look in the mirror”. As Paul and Kym discuss this week, “looking in the mirror” is not just a metaphor for reflection, but for introspection. Stopping once in a while to examine the life we’ve built, can often direct us towards clearer goals and visions for our futures. As today’s conversation proves, somet...

Paul is joined on today’s episode by Personal Trainer, John Batterby, to discuss the concept of “dropping the mask”. John spent his youth and formative years in the Royal Navy, an experience that taught him about people’s perceptions of himself and others. Often we create a mask so as to fit in; or because others expect it of us, but as John and Paul discuss, sometimes it can be difficult to drop...

Those of us living in this modern society are quickly becoming more attuned with our spiritual selves. But the journey isn’t always as clear as we think. Sometimes we can get lost while on that path toward self-discovery, confused by the “buffet style” offerings out there, which offer piecemeal elements designed to enhance our lives, without satisfying our deepest needs. In this episode, Paul is j...

We are all on a journey in life. It’s a voyage of discovery in which we spend our lives finding our place in the world, and embracing the human being we are. It’s therefore vital that we pause once in a while to remember that loving ourselves is an important part of that journey. After all, if we can’t love ourselves, then how can we love others? That’s the message of this week’s guest, Colleen Wi...

Every day and every moment is an opportunity to start something new. That’s the philosophy shared by Paul and his guest this week, Kym Hamer. The beginning of the year is a time when many are setting New Year’s resolutions, and making promises about what will be. But as Kym so rightly states, our futures start today, not tomorrow. Why wait to achieve a journey when we can embark today? The moment...
