We put together some gems to immediately get a taste of the great interview with David Hunter, Transformational Coach. Look for the full interview in our Podcasts

David Hunter is a transformational coach who has been working in the NHS for over 20 years in different capacities.  In the last 5 years he has trained to become a coach and has also trained into transformational coaching. He has found the difference between transformational coaching and life coaching is fascinating as in the former, a coach helps people without using strategies or techniques, but having a heartfelt conversation with someone and helping them to understand where their experiences are coming from.  According to him, this has helped him gain some great insights of his own and he has a vision of helping people to take them from an undesired state to a place they desire in their life and know that no matter what life throws at them they will be ok.

This episode was originally recorded on the 24th of January 2022, and we are now re-sharing it as part of the new Social Media Platforms - now solely dedicated to KnowingWhoYouAre. 

We spoke about the importance of living life on your terms, creating memories and doing whatever you can as opposed to living life for other people based on their expectations and their standards. We talked about the different ways you can approach others, fixing things with a friend or a relative that you feel need to be fixed to live in better harmony as well as the importance of writing things down and journalling.

(Please note that we had to remove some of the phone conversations and recordings of people calling in due to the sound quality. )

Two people may live for exactly the same number of days and yet feel that they have lived very different lengths of time. One may move through life on autopilot, barely noticing the changing light, the passing seasons or the quiet details of familiar places. The other may remain curious—awake to the world, receptive to its smallest changes—and experience each day with a greater sense of depth.

Time seems to accelerate when life becomes too familiar. Our routines blur together, and weeks disappear almost without leaving a footprint. But when we begin something new—learn an instrument, explore a different place, read beyond our usual interests, speak to someone we would not normally meet—the world becomes vivid again. Attention sharpens. Memory gathers detail. It can feel as though the clock has been gently reset.

This is the gift of the beginner’s mind: not the absence of knowledge, but the willingness to meet life without assuming that we have already seen everything it has to offer.

As Shunryu Suzuki wrote:“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert’s mind there are few.”

Perhaps we cannot slow the clock itself, but we can deepen our experience of it. We can be more present in ordinary moments, remain curious about familiar surroundings and regularly give ourselves the courage to begin again.

Because, as Annie Dillard reminds us:

“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.”

A new beginning does not always require a dramatic reinvention. Sometimes it is simply picking up the brush, opening the book, taking the unfamiliar road or paying closer attention to the life already unfolding around us.

The clock may continue moving forward—but through presence, curiosity and wonder, we can make time feel spacious again.
