Today is a solo episode again, and I explore nature in depth, the case for Animism and the Gaia hypothesis way of living, and how we can embrace the mysterious without seeking facts all the time. Come along for a raw, vulnerable & unpolished journey where I make the case for everything being connected.

I’m joined by Laura McGuirk again for our 2nd conversation. This time we explore how suppression of feelings and putting ourselves into a limited box begins in childhood.

We discuss why it’s in our interests to learn how to feel again and break free from a life of numbness.

We share practices that we can use to start feeling again, to rewire our beliefs about anger, fear, sadness and joy, and how we use our feelings in daily life to open up new possibilities for deeper connection and intimacy, and creating an ecstatic life.

Today I’m joined by my friend Laura McGuirk, aka Evolving Laura on Instagram.

Join us as we discuss her journey from suppressing anger and stepping out of the “Good girl” box, to conscious feelings work and reclaiming the superpowers we all have available to us, that we can use to navigate through life more authentically, and truly feel that heightened aliveness that is our birthright and the gateway towards true connection with ourselves and others.

Humans are designed to experience and express full out rage, horrifying terror, gut wrenching grief and ecstatic joy.

Break free from your box of societal, parental beliefs, expectations, assumptions and models, forget the way your father was, question your real opinions and connect with the endless possibility of who you truly are. (Please note we lose connection at 48 minutes and come back on at 51:50)

Today I share my understanding around the 2 energies everyone and everything has running through them. How nature is a great model to find out what energy of the 2 we may be suppressing and what misunderstandings modern society may hold around a man and a woman’s energies, and how we can take start expressing both energies equally so that we are living a life more aligned to our truth.

Today I explore the power that our belief system has over our lives. Everything from the placebo effect, the nocebo effect, limiting beliefs, self fulfilling prophecies and the similarities of faith and fear.

Today I welcome my partner Nel back to the podcast, where we discuss and open up about our relationship, how we met, how we work through triggers together and cultivate a conscious relationship. Whether you are in a relationship or seeking one, we believe us sharing our story might just help you in some way. Much love, David & Nel

Today I give my thoughts and experiences on the most important role in the world, consciously parenting our children to give them the best opportunity to grow up as loving, open, trauma free adults. But is this possible?

I honestly believe this is my most important episode to date! So much of what I share is about healing modalities and self regulation, this episode is the root of most of our suffering. In a world with ever increasing numbness, let’s remember how to feel again!

In todays episode I attempt to simplify the healing to thriving journey as best I can. For anyone just starting out this inner journey of healing and self understanding, it can be a little bit daunting knowing where and how to start. Hearing terms like Shadow work, inner child, dark night of the soul, to name just a few of the mind startling things we hear when we start to look within. This podcast will be my attempt to give you a clear structure to follow without over complicating things too much!

Today I welcome my amazing life partner Nel to the podcast. We discuss ADHD and neurodivergent vs neurotypical brains. Nel has been on a journey of self awareness that has recently led to a diagnosis of ADHD. Today we discuss how this plays out in her daily life, in our relationship and how she believes that having ADHD gives her extra skills in other areas that may have otherwise not been possible. The term “neurodivergent” describes people whose brain differences affect how their brain works. That means they have different strengths and challenges from people whose brains don't have those differences.
