THE TECHNICIAN PODCAST

WHAT IF YOUR DAD DIDNT HURT YOU? 

What if the thing you've been carrying your whole life..the wound, the unworthiness, the need to prove yourself .. was never actually about what happened to you... but about the story your child brain made up about what happened?

This week I sat down with Mitch Hunter - physiotherapist turned meditation teacher, academic turned mystic, and one of the most grounded spiritual humans I've ever met. 

Mitch has 30+ years of meditation practice, has trained in Buddhist monasteries and caves in India, worked in chronic pain at university level, and had a stabilised spiritual awakening in 2019 that completely redirected his life.

This conversation went places I didn't expect. We talked about what meditation actually is (and why most people are doing it wrong), how your nervous system holds onto experiences your conscious mind has forgotten, and why the most powerful healing tool on the planet isn't a technique, it's your own awareness.

Mitch shared the story of a childhood memory that surfaced during deep meditation.. his dad burning two sticks that meant the world to him as a 9-year-old ..and how seeing that moment through adult eyes dissolved decades of overachieving, people-pleasing, and proving his worth. No therapy. No framework. Just objective truth.

We also went deep on my own journey — a past life experience during holotropic breathwork that unlocked a shame pattern I'd carried my entire life, and how one moment of being truly seen cracked it wide open.

In this episode:

— Why concentration comes before meditation and why most people skip the step that matters most 

— The difference between data and drama, and how your brain weaponizes meaning against you 

— How Mitch went from physiotherapy clinic to Buddhist monasteries to a 5,000-year-old temple ceremony with 2 million people

 — What actually happens in the body during a spiritual awakening (and why Mitch lost 10kg in 3 weeks)

 — The one question that changes everything: "What literally happened?" 

— Why the people most triggered by your truth are the ones who need you most 

— How living your truth isn't about chasing peak experiences

 — it's about being fully present while you take your sausage dog for a pee

This one's for the men who've done the work but still feel like something's missing underneath it all.

She Had Everything on Paper... Here's Why She Walked Away | Pippa Martin

Six years ago, Pippa Martin had it all: the house, the car, the degree, the relationship. She was 110kg, deeply unhappy, and living someone else's dream.

Then she made a decision that changed everything.

She quit her job, sold her house, and moved to the other side of the world with someone she'd known for just three months. She lost 75 pounds, built a multi-six-figure fitness business, and lived across Thailand, Vietnam, Spain, and the UK.

But that was just her first reinvention.

Recently, she walked away from that thriving business to pursue something even more aligned with her truth.

In this conversation, we explore:

→ The moment she realized "success" was suffocating her → What it actually takes to burn your life down and start over → Why the 50/50 relationship myth is destroying partnerships → How to know when it's time to choose yourself → The real cost of following someone else's blueprint

This isn't about chasing viral moments. This is about honoring the courage it takes to become who you actually are.

If you've ever felt trapped in a life that looks perfect on paper, this episode is for you.

This one’s gonna sting .. in the best way.

Ever noticed how the moment your business is flowing, your relationship feels solid, or money’s finally stacking… you start doing dumb shit? You ghost people. You pick fights. You blow money on things you don’t care about. 

You burn the whole thing down..then wonder why you can’t “just be happy.”

In this episode, I break down the brutal truth: it’s not because you’re broken, it’s because your nervous system is programmed to think good things are dangerous. 

And that wiring? 

It’s not random .. it’s your mother wound, your father wound, and the survival patterns you learned as a kid running your adult life.

We’ll go deep into:

• How your childhood trained you to equate safety with danger.
• The sneaky ways mother wounds and father wounds destroy business, relationships, and money flow.
• Why calm feels like a trap ... and chaos feels like home.
• The real reason you self-destruct when you should be thriving.
• The exact steps to rewire your system so you can hold success without burning it down.

If you’re sick of rebuilding from scratch because you can’t seem to keep the good things, this episode will feel like I’ve been living in your head.

Listen if you’re ready to stop treating peace like a countdown to pain  and start building a life you can actually keep
