In this episode, I explore why so many relationships, even ones that appear happy on the surface, can feel unfulfilling and disconnected. There’s a common yearning for deeper connection, a loneliness we often cover up with routines, social events, or distractions. I dive into how this emptiness can’t be filled by others but has to begin with cultivating depth within ourselves first.

I share my own journey of searching for connection without realising that I needed to break down my own walls first—learning that true openness and vulnerability must start with us if we’re to connect meaningfully with others.

Listen in as I discuss the lessons my relationship has offered, helping me open my heart and stay rooted in love, seeing each challenge as an opportunity to connect to something deeper.

This episode explores the delicate balance between spirituality and humanness in daily life and interactions. At its core, the discussion centres on the challenge of engaging with others' struggles compassionately without losing touch with one's own inner awareness and understanding.

Ultimately, remaining rooted in awareness enables a balanced response to life’s complexities, helping individuals connect more deeply with themselves and with others, while recognising the illusions that often fuel separation and suffering.

In this episode, I’m talking about anger.

We often get caught up in a story around our anger and that story is what poisons us. It’s not the anger itself that causes harm; it’s the identification with it, the clinging to the narrative. If we can learn to just see the anger, without judgment, without attaching a story to it, it can pass through us like a cloud in the sky.

The practice is about allowing emotions to arise and not suppressing or identifying with them. They are not "my anger" or "my sadness"; they are simply energies that come and go. By developing mindfulness, we can create space for these emotions to exist without letting them take over or define us.

This episode was recorded as a video. You can find it on YouTube if you’d like to watch it as well as listen.

This week I reflect on the challenges of being in a relationship with an addict, offering a perspective that moves away from the common narrative of victim versus perpetrator. Often, society positions the partner of an addict as the "victim" and encourages leaving the relationship. But I explore a different approach: one rooted in oneness, love, and compassion.

I discuss how addiction doesn't define the person and that, from a spiritual perspective, both partners are on their own paths. The addict's situation might be part of their spiritual journey, and rather than focusing on changing or fixing them, the healthier approach is to look within.

I emphasise maintaining an open heart, accepting the situation without being consumed by it, and avoiding fuelling ego-based interactions.

Unfortunately the recording cut out before I could finish, but I believe I said everything I wanted to say.

In this episode, I explore the inner battles we all face – and how they create the battles we see in the world.

I talk about how the struggle to control or satisfy our desires can leave us feeling disconnected, both from ourselves and others.

Through this reflection, I explore the possibility of finding peace by learning to let go and accept things as they are, instead of fighting against them.

This episode is an invitation to look at our inner world with compassion and curiosity, and to consider how surrender can lead to a sense of ease and wholeness.

Do you ever feel like life is this constant back-and-forth—always chasing happiness and avoiding discomfort? It can feel exhausting, like there has to be something more, something lighter.

If you’ve ever felt tired of the ups and downs and sensed there’s more to life than the struggle, perhaps this will resonate with you. I’ll talk about how stepping back and observing, instead of controlling, can shift how we experience everything—from relationships to the little things that used to feel overwhelming. It’s less about changing your life and more about seeing it from a different perspective.

Join me as I share thoughts on finding freedom from the mind—not through fixing, but through embracing life with a different view, one rooted in love and stillness.

This episode delves into how we unintentionally lock people, including ourselves, into fixed roles and expectations, both in close relationships and society at large. It emphasises that these unspoken expectations limit personal freedom and growth, as individuals often feel obligated to conform to the roles others project onto them, whether as parents, spouses, or individuals.

The key takeaway is that real change begins within; by letting go of control, judgments, and expectations, and focusing on inner growth, one can create space for transformation in themselves and others.

The episode highlights the importance of self-reflection and unconditional love, allowing individuals to move beyond societal and relational constraints into greater freedom and authenticity.

All I can do for you is work on myself.”

In this episode, I explore how suffering can become a powerful tool for spiritual growth and transformation. Drawing from a personal experience I had of Maharaj-ji, a Hindu guru, I will discuss how suffering reveals our attachments, helping us to release what no longer serves us. By embracing suffering as grace, we can open our hearts to deeper love and allow life's challenges to purify us.

Are you relying on the outside world to feel whole? Sometimes, external validation and encouragement can spark something inside us—but clinging to it can leave us feeling empty. When we rely too much on others to fill our cup, we create distance from ourselves and the people we love. True growth happens when you turn inwards and nurture your own strength. People who believe in you can plant a seed, but it’s up to you to water it. Everything you need is already within you.

Welcome to Lead with Love, a spiritual podcast aimed at creating a supportive community for those on the journey of self-discovery and seeking a connection beyond body and mind.

Unlike outward-focused approaches such as therapy, which emphasise changing behaviour and thoughts, this path guides you inward to uncover your true self—whether you call it the soul, divine self, or consciousness.

On this inward journey, it’s easy to feel lost or alone, as I have experienced myself. But by learning to open your heart and lead with unconditional love, you can always move in the right direction.

This podcast will remind you to turn inward, embrace love in its purest form, and find healing and freedom by recognising who you truly are.

Together, we can build a space where we support one another, transform ourselves, and, in turn, heal the world around us.
