The Hurricanes openside flanker Du'Plessis Kirifi, or as we refer to him on the show “Dupes”, found himself in far more depth than he could handle during his struggle in “making it”. He refers to a time when he would drown himself in the distraction of alcohol to escape this hopelessness and these feelings of confusion and being lost, as he felt his dream being swept away from him. Amongst the overwhelm, he managed to find clarity, he managed to find success. But, how? 

Join us as we take a deep dive into Dupes’s life as he strived from club rugby, to a rising Super Rugby star, and there’s hype around him possibly making it all the way to the All Black Team. Tune in to see how Dupes has taken himself from this lost and confused place, to finding hope, understanding and contentment within the chaos. He points out key areas that have allowed him to do this, so that you can take away and practice these tools for yourself. 

NOTE: I (Kieran Hedley) as the host of this podcast, actually had a puff of weed from a bong the night before as an experiment not thinking it would affect me much. There was a lot of THC (a psychoactive part of cannabis). I haven’t smoked much in my life (aside from a wild time when I lived in California), so the THC made me considerably vacant compared to my usual self for a whole 72 hours. I even struggled to converse with anyone. This podcast was less than 12 hours after my cannabis experience, which made for a very interesting and unique interview experience. Tune in to see if you can hear my struggle as I interview Dupes. He handles this incredibly well and was very welcoming to my different self.

Legendary All Black Liam Messam speaks on mental health. Liam played 13 seasons for the Chiefs Super Rugby, and 7 whole season for the national team the All Blacks, and won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games for Rugby 7’s. Living such a focused and solid career in professional rugby, Liam also developed a very hard exterior. In doing so, he battled carious internal struggles that not a single soul knew of, not even his wife.   

Join us as we speak on the international rugby star’s life from being adopted, to facing dark times, to climbing the ranks of his rugby career, to being one of the first of his generation in All Black rugby to start to speak up around mental health. I found myself incredibly inspired by his ability to share what was once perceived as “softness” in such a lighthearted but raw manner. He jokes that you can find him eating butter chicken in Hamilton if you look hard enough.

A safe place to educate yourself on racism, spirituality, gender adversity and other aspects of what it’s like to face life in what society deems a handicapped way. Alea Lovely takes us through what it’s like going through life as a woman of colour, and how she constantly finds the calm within the thunder storms she so frequently has to face.

As I was interviewing the host of USA’s #1 Spiritual Podcast “Spiritual Sh*t”, I absolutely had to take us on a ride through her spiritual journey, her experience with spirits (not that this is what spirituality means), and how her openness to the not physical has allowed her to transcend the various challenges she faces.

If you find yourself wanting to learn how to face the struggles head on, to grow from life’s resistances, and to find internal freedom, then tune into this perspective altering, awe-inspiring interview with Alea Lovely. I myself learnt a lot in this conversation.

Pernell has lived a life that many would only think were in movies and tales that you hear. Stories that you would be told of the racism in America, or the times when racism was peaking and slavery existed. Yet… he’s lived it.

He’s lived the repercussion of what deep rooted racism has created. From fearing for his life constantly, to being pinned by a police officer simply because he was asking for help, to seeing a man pass in front of his eyes. Now this may seem tragic, and you might be thinking “I don’t want to listen to something so dreadful”. Yet, Pernell brings such an abundant energy to this podcast, just listening to him brings light into my life! He then navigates his way to freedom. Freedom that he has created on his own terms. From living in fear in America, to living life the way he wants in Columbia writing a book!

I have learnt many lessons from this fantastic human, and I will continue to learn many more. Let us heal this planet together, one moment at a time.

First you find it, then you feel it, then you face it, then you heal it. This was a huge lesson I learnt through my journey of healing anxiety. It’s a process that I tried to cut short and go straight to the healing of anxiety. Unfortunately (as Aaron relays) it’s not that simple. If it was that simple anxiety wouldn’t even be a thing!

Through something called ‘Radical Acceptance’, we can come to a place where anxiety is no longer a place of no return, but a place of learning and understanding… which very shortly evolves into a state of growth; not regression.

Aaron Myres; a previous client and now friend of mine grew up in the chaos of loneliness, self-doubt and constant simmering anxiety that seemed to brew up over time. He’s done wonders over the period we worked together in our coach-client relationship, and has come out the other side in consistent growth and expansion. I am beyond proud of his progress.

If Aaron’s story resonates, then please feel free to reach out to either Aaron or I. You are not a burden to either of us in letting us know your struggles.

If guidance from anxiety to mental and emotional freedom is something you seek then you can message myself on the contact details below for further details.
