10,000 Hours and Counting...

Welcome to the October episode of Season 3 of my podcast, "10,000 Hours and Counting".

What happens when life changes in an instant, and everything you once took for granted becomes something you must learn again?

My guest for this episode is Belgian entrepreneur and author Vincent van den Broeck. in October 2024, he survived a near-fatal car accident that left him in a coma for three weeks and facing a long road to recovery. In this conversation, Vincent shares how his experience deepened his understanding of resilience, happiness, purpose and the power of taking life one step at a time.

Together, we explore how adversity can reveal rather than redefine us, why small victories matter, and how our deepest values can become an anchor when life feels uncertain. We reflect on the courage to follow our own path, the importance of staying true to ourselves, and the freedom that comes when we stop measuring our lives through other people's expectations.

This is a conversation about transformation not as becoming someone new, but as reconnecting with the essence of who we are. A reminder that sometimes, what feels impossible is simply what you have not yet lived through. And sometimes, the seed of your greatest strength is already within you, waiting for the right conditions to grow.

About my Guest: Vincent Van den Broeck is a Belgian entrepreneur, author, speaker and founder of UID Club. After more than 15 years of entrepreneurship, his life took an unexpected turn in October 2024 when a devastating car accident left him in a three-week coma, with just a 10% chance of survival and a 1% chance of full recovery.

But Vincent's story isn't simply about surviving. It's about how the life you build before adversity becomes the foundation that carries you through it.

Through his book, Everything Feels Impossible Until It's Done, and UID Club, Vincent shares his philosophy of ownership, resilience and intentional living, inspiring others to stop waiting for a wake-up call and start building a life they genuinely love.

What if simplicity isn't a sign that you're at the beginning of your spiritual journey, but a sign of mastery?

In this episode, I 'll explore simplicity as a way of being present to what is unfolding, rather than constantly reaching for what comes next. I reflect on the intelligence of nature and its cycles of growth, change, decay and renewal, and how these cycles can help us navigate our own life transitions.

This conversation explores what it means to live with an awareness of 5D consciousness in everyday life — not as something we need to chase or create, but as a frequency already present within and around us. I consider the relationship between presence, vulnerability, creativity and the void space, and the courage required to trust what cannot always be seen or measured.

Ultimately, simplicity can become both a gateway to peace and a space for new possibilities, ideas and inspiration.

In this episode

· What 5D consciousness means in practical, everyday life

· Why simplicity can represent mastery rather than a beginner stage

· The importance of being present to what is happening now

· What nature can teach us about growth, change and transition

· The relationship between uncertainty, vulnerability and creativity

· Understanding the void space as a place of rest and possibility

· Trusting subtle and unseen aspects of the spiritual path

Closing

Simplicity doesn't mean doing less or knowing less. Sometimes it means becoming present enough to hear what is already there. Take the next step, then the next. Allow space for what is emerging, trust what you cannot yet see, and remember that growth is always unfolding.

Welcome to the August episode of Season 3 of my podcast, "10,000 Hours and Counting".

Two of the pillars of the spiritual path are discernment and surrender. These are themes that will constantly arise, yet for many people they can feel like incredible hurdles or stumbling blocks. In this episode, I explore how we can bring a lighter and perhaps more helpful perspective to both. I speak about the water element and its many forms, including its mutable nature and its ability to dissolve, loosen boundaries and help us release what is no longer needed on our path. I also explore the essence of fear, particularly the fears that can feel "irrational" because they have no seemingly logical basis in our lives, yet are experienced as very real sensations within the body and mind. These can be points of release and opportunities for healing.

This episode is also about breaking down barriers and boundaries, viewing things through different eyes, and learning that we do not need to know everything now or remain in control of every part of our journey. Sometimes the invitation is simply to trust, surrender and flow.

In this episode

• The beauty of surrender. • Discernment and knowing what to transform versus what to completely release. • What going with the flow can mean. • How fear can be a gateway for healing and when to recognise the type of fear you are experiencing.

Closing

As always, I hope that if something resonates for you in this conversation, you feel inspired to apply it or perhaps open yourself to a new and more supportive way of taking your own unique, courageous soul path journey.

Transformation often arrives in quiet, everyday moments. While watching a crow collect sticks for building it's nest, I was reminded that meaningful change isn't always dramatic. Each time a stick fell, the crow returned, and picked it up until it had all it could carry. That simple act became another subtlety of transformation that inspired me for this month's podcast.

In this episode, I explore transformation through the wisdom of crow medicine, the symbolism of the Tower card in the Tarot, and the energy of rebuilding our foundations. Rather than viewing change as something that requires us to abandon everything we've created, we consider how transformation can be a process of refinement—honouring what still has value while making space for something new to emerge.

Drawing on personal experiences, spiritual insight and observations from the natural world, I reflect on perseverance, trusting inner guidance and recognising that growth often asks us to return, review and strengthen what already exists.

In this episode

• Crow medicine and the wisdom of perseverance.
• Transformation as refinement rather than starting over.
• Building stronger foundations through change.
• Reflections on the Tower card in the Tarot.
• Working with the transformative energy of Goddess Matangi.
• Finding value in previous experiences.
• Connecting with nature as a spiritual teacher.
• Trusting your own inner guidance during times of transition.

Closing

Whether you're navigating a significant life transition or simply sensing that something within you is ready to evolve, I hope this conversation offers encouragement to move forward with greater trust, courage and gentleness.

Welcome to The May episode for Season 3 of my podcast "10,000 Hours and Counting".

In this episode, I will be discussing how lightworkers navigate transformation, and the current energetic shifts that have happened this month and encouraging you to take time for self-reflection to understand your personal evolution process.

This is a time for feeling into the new energies rather than planning future directions, and I will be highlighting again the concept of soul alignment, distinguishing between personality-level and soul-level manifestation. How do you put your trust in your intuition and the signs and synchronicities you notice when navigating uncertainty? How do you stay connected to hope during times of global and personal change?

All lightworkers play a crucial role in holding space for positive energies like hope, joy, and peace, even when these feelings may not be widely shared on earth. Our task is to maintain this frequency for ourselves in order to be an inspiration for others and holding space for hope can support every being on Earth.

I am tuning into the soul medicine of the Dragonfly and it's transformation stages as a metaphor for this process.

*Note* The podcast will pause for June and resume in July.

In this episode

• Navigating personal transformation
• Distinguishing between personality and soul level manifestation
• Maintaining hope in challenging times
• Working with Dragonfly soul medicine

Closing

Ask – "What is possible for me?" Because people are bringing through new levels of their gifts, polishing and refineing these naturally. It's about allowing what needs to come through, giving yourself the space to witness and be open to what your soul has next for your journey.

Welcome to the April episode of my podcast "10,000 Hours and Counting," This month I am still focusing on the theme of transformation and the current global energy of change. In this episode I'll be discussing aspects of our current collective transformation process, how people are feeling disappointment, dissatisfaction, and uncertainty about the future and explaining this through the concept of "dissolution". Dissolution is an important part of the transformation process but sometimes scary to face, so I am also offering some ways we can navigate through uncertainty. With a focus particularly, on finding balance between your human personality and your soul energy during this experience. I will also be touching on kindness practices you can use towards yourselves and others, tips on maintaining simple spiritual practices, and remaining open to new possibilities rather than resisting change. As well as sharing some guidance on crafting breathing exercises and calling in light to help yourself through your own transformation process.

In this episode:

• What is it to uncleave from our past?
• Collective flux dissolution
• The dance of soul and the human personality
• Embracing uncertainty
• Caterpillar to Butterfly metaphor
• Breath and Light visualisation practice

Closing:

I welcome you to look for the simple things, to find your own solid ground, whatever that may be. It's not going to stop things from dissolving and parts of you changing and shifting, but be open and curious to what is changing and be gentle with yourself at this time.

In this episode, I am speaking about how the energy and feeling of disappointment can be a healing gateway into lasting change. I am continuing to pull on the threads that form the basis of a truly lasting transformation journey for the self.

This is a year which offers many energetic opportunities to truly tranform yourself and there are many themes that weave in and out of the transformation process.

When we are willing to look at any disappointment or unmet expectations in our lives, we can then use a fresh perspective to release something which cannot continue on the next unfolding part of our life journey.

Even tragedy has the potential to be transformed into triumph and beauty. We must sit with any disappointment but not drown in it.This is how we craft new reality for ourselves and for the Earth.

In this episode

• Transformation cycles
• Understanding disappointment in new ways
• Processing the frequency of disappointment
• Analogy for letting go to create the new
• Exploring Divine Guidance
• Mini practice for releasing the old and connecting to hope
• Unfulfilled expectations are not failure but learning and soul alignment opportunities
• The only way out is through.

Closing

In being open to the ability to release what is no longer needed, being open to divine timing of what is right and ripe to be released opens the gateway to the new. We release in order to receive.

Welcome to Season Three of my podcast "10,000 hours...and counting". In this first episode of 2026, I am chatting with Juliana Sloane; Buddhist Mindfulness Teacher, Depth Hypnosis Practitioner, and Applied Shamanic Counsellor. We will be discussing what it truly takes to create sustained, meaningful transformation from within. It's a good time to open up to new ways of being in your life with this "Number 1" year numerology. We will discuss the ways in which the foundation of genuine transformation process doesn't come as a magic wand and requires an attitude of gentleness towards the self during the change or metamorphosis stage. We share how being present to yourself in the moment and releasing attachment to your "story", can open you up to new experiences, how letting go of the need for control and surrendering to the unknown are both essential pillars of transformation. Transformation may begin with a "spark" that sometimes feels out of your control perhaps, but is then embodied by the sustained, gradual sometimes tiny changes. We will also delve into the wisdom of Shamanic work - gateways of life, thresholds, the natural cycles of soul initiations and inner growth and explain how the body is a great vehicle for supporting soul work. Please note - All Season 3 podcast episodes will now be released on the last Saturday of every month.

In this episode

• The gradual nature of transformation
• Divine surrender and embracing the unknown
• Shamanic healing techniques
• Navigating the liminal space of life's transformation cycles
• Finding freedom through Buddhist wisdom and soul alignment
• Embracing body wisdom
• Listening to your authentic soul guidance

Closing

As humans how we experience suffering when we cling to tightly to things, and the freedom comes in accepting reality for what it is, in order to make changes. All achievement and striving, it's not healing. Healing happens one step at a time, we don't have to be overwhelmed by the big goal.

Welcome to the final episode of season two "10,000 hours...and counting".

In this episode, I am rejoined by my guest from episode one of 2025, my friend and fellow lightworker Karen Neuls.

Karen and I are discussing the divine being or ascended master known as "Merlin". Both of us work with this energy in our lives and also in our spiritual offerings. We will be discussing our experiences as "students" of this ascended master and how we find our connection to the higher realms of spirit actually weaves its way into all areas of our lives. How the mundane can be made magic when we are willing to view it through another lens. We hope to inspire you to make your own personal connections to the energy of magic and possibly even Merlin frequency in order to support you on your path as a spiritual being, lightworker and warrior of light at this time on earth.

Wishing everyone a blessed end to the year, I will be returning with more of my podcast in 2026 to continue uplifting and inspiring you on your journey.

In the November episode, I am chatting with my friend, fellow lightworker and healing practitioner Rena Dumas about the human/soul experience of polarity, the paradox of life. How to shift from believing you need to be something people can "understand", to giving yourself permission to find your own unique energy and express this in the world.

We're discussing opposing forces of yin and yang and the inner journey of self enquiry to unite them within our being. How to soothe this "war" within, so that we can begin to positively shift the vibration of earth to better and higher truths for all. To a more compassionate way of living.

We consider what is "consistency" and what is "authenticity" in ourselves and ponder why people are often trying to become one thing or the other, rather than fully accepting all parts of the self, the light and the dark and come into wholeness.

These opposites aren't meant to compete, but to dance together, creating the tension that gives rise to life, movement, and transformation.
