The Tiny Pod

This week is all About Money.

Money is used by the wealthy to disempower, to distract us away from our self and to create shame that exhausts us to enslave us to a broken system that thrives on the oppression of others.

Capitalism needs us to spend, to serve and to remain in a constant state of lack so that we forget who we truly are. Alignment is our natural state, and nothing pulls us out of alignment faster than centralising money and the pursuit of wealth.

Sustainable wealth is built through alignment in our bodies, regulation in our nervous system, consciousness in our mental chatter, neural programming and openness in our hearts. When we value love, generosity flows. When we value money, we hoard, defend and protect our money at the expense of our integrity.

True wealth is found internally, through aligning our body, heart, mind and soul. Abundance flows when we live in alignment, when we value relationship with others over competition, and when we give freely, rather than frantically consuming, and fearfully hoarding.

Money cannot buy peace, safety, security or dignity. Consciousness is the way to true, lasting wealth, because when we know who we are and we value ourselves, we cannot be bought for all the money in the world.

This week’s pod, in honour of World Kindness Day on Thursday 13th November, is all About Kindness.

True kindness is not actions, gestures, donations. It is the intention behind them. It flows from your heart, it is your inherent nature.

When we are in survival, competition, proving our worth, seeking favour, we cannot be truly kind because we are seeking a return “in kind,” recognition, social favour. When we are seeking praise, we are giving conditionally, and kindness becomes performative and transactional.

True kindness is both who we are in our essence, at our heart, and a learned, life long practice of generosity and empathy. True kindness needs nothing, seeks nothing, asks nothing, and is freely given.

Kindness heals, kindness creates trust and safety both in our own selves and in the community around us.

Kindness is who we are, not what we do.

This week is all About Peace, in honour of Remembrance Day.

Our government, political and financial structures were built on war, violence, inequality, oppression to control society, and enrich the few in power.

War is big business, the government increases its annual spend on defence year on year.

And even peace is commodified, the very companies that supplied the weapons of mass destruction now fighting to win contracts for reconstruction of what they destroyed.

War becomes a toxic loop of power, money, destruction and construction.

Even the wellness industry tries to gate keep peace, and sell it back to us.

Peace, true peace, is here with us now. It is found in the courage to hold truth, to know injustice and to honestly see the world as it is. Peace is found in rest, and it is found in surrender. War is control through external force, and peace is self control built internally.

Peace is found in presence, now, it is not waiting for us . We do not need permission from anyone to have peace, we just need to let ourselves remember.

As we remember those who have fallen, and the cost of peace, may we remember the peace we owe to ourselves.

This week I talk About Love.

The word ‘love’ is misused to describe all manner of actions, behaviours, feelings and desires that are not love at all.

We use ‘love’ to manipulate, control, survive. When we fear, whether we fear losing someone or something, fear being alone, or fear being known, we cannot love, truly.

Courage is from the heart, and from the heart, love casts out fear.

For further reading on the quotes I referenced today:

1 John 4

1 Corinthians 13

See you next week,

LOVE

Truth can be divisive, polarising . We risk losing belonging to a family, a community or a collective built on pretence and performance when we speak truth. This threat of rejection can keep us stuck in dishonesty, and silent out of fear.

Truth is uncomfortable for those who have not built the capacity to hold it. Truth is the enemy of oppressors and systems that thrive on our ignorance, complacency and fear.

Truth is a muscle we grow into. As we open to truth, and allow the discomfort of truth to move through us, we grow into our capacity to know ourselves, form true relationships and be an active part of true, meaningful community.

Anything lost when we speak truth and live by truth was false, fleeting and illusory. Truth cannot be lost, it is a firm foundation upon which we can grow, and it is an anchor on which we can depend, and deepen into trust.

Community, in its true sense of shared values, shared care, unity and responsibility towards one another feeds our soul.

Community can also be superficial, performative, transactional, a comfort we use when it benefits us. We talk of how wonderful our community is, as long as it costs us nothing and serves all our superficial needs.

True community asks of us participation. True community is giving when no one is watching, supporting causes that do not personally benefit us, and standing united against systems that oppress and harm others, especially when we are not directly affected ourselves.

True community is connection, love and unity.

Come- unity. Through true community we join together, we stand together and we create an interdependence that is at the heart of healthy relating. We are stronger together, united we rise.

Silence can be a shield, a protection from negativity and a tool to preserve time and energy where our words go unheard.

But silence can also be participation in abuse, oppression and harm. When we see or know of injustice, and we choose to remain silent, we are choosing complicity in that injustice.

United we have the power to change and challenge systems that cause harm, individuals that abuse, and damaging institutions reliant on our compliance and silence.

United we stand 🙏

This week I talk about white privilege.

We often shy away from topics that are uncomfortable. We deny our own contribution to the parts of society that we deem ugly, immoral, or challenging. But unless we are willing and able to look at ourselves, and to transform ourselves, we will never be able to transform society, or systems like oppression, racism, and othering.

White privilege is subtle, often unconscious, pervasive, insidious. It has existed throughout history and still exists today in all areas of life and society.

May we all be able to look at how we contribute to racism, oppression and may we be willing to see the inhumane inequality of our society.

May we all unite and stand together, may we rise together and live freely, peacefully, equally.

We are all one. United we rise, divided we fall.

On Monday 29th September 2025 at 2:30pm in a quiet residential street in North West London, near the local primary school, a 34 year old man was violently attacked by a police officer.

Constable Merrick 2497NW, on SOLO patrol, pursued , mounted and smashed in the head this young man, using his handcuffs as a lethal weapon. He sat on the victim, he pressed his face into the ground and placed his forearm on his neck, all while the man was bleeding heavily from the severe head wound, in non resistance.

The Met Police have responded by dismissing all complaints.

The local community - mothers on the school run, strong men, passers by, did nothing. They judged and shamed the victim, assuming because he is black he must be guilty. They walked through the crime scene, more interested in blood on the sole of their shoes, than the soul of a man bleeding on the pavement.

I have become a pariah on the school run, they shame me too for association.

To address this inhumanity, desensitisation, this “othering” at the heart of racism, we have to be willing to look at the truth, to look at history objectively, and to look at ourselves. Where have we internalised racism? Where to we contribute to racism in our own lives and community?

We are all one. United we rise, United we can enact change. We can get justice. We can get Constable Merrick 2497NW charged and removed from the police force if we unite.

I urge anyone and everyone with social media, a platform, legal knowledge, political power, media contacts to like, share, repost, comment the footage on TikTok, YouTube, and on Instagram.

Let’s choose love ❤️

See you next week

Many of us are on a quest, in pursuit of various forms of external validation or external comforts. Quests are the “when’s” - when I get a promotion, when I move home, when I get married- yet when we arrive, instead of satisfaction, contentment and peace we are consumed with another when.

The quieter, subtler quest inward is the one that leads us to true peace. The quest to know ourselves and be known, truly, vulnerably and authentically. To discover our own values and live them, no longer consumed by performing for others approvals and external accolades.

As Jung so beautifully put it, “He who looks outside dreams; he who looks inside, awakes.”
