What does running in torrential rain have to do with the meaning of your life?

More than you think.

In this episode I share the moment mid-race that made me laugh out loud — and the perspective shift that followed. A reminder of what you truly are, where you came from, and why most of what your mind worries about deserves far less of your energy than you're giving it. This one might just change how you see yourself.

Let me guide you into a beautiful zen garden so you can experience inner peace.  A simple body relaxation in the warm golden sun will help melt away your tension, stress and worries being held by your body and mind.  Making this type of practise a regular ritual will help you develop clarity, calm and connection for you to be more responsive in life rather than reactive.

I released this over a year ago and gave it a little update as I love this meditation.

I would deeply appreciate you subscribing, sharing and reviewing my work to help me grow.

Join me for a deep healing NSDR (non sleep deep rest) meditation also known as Yoga Nidra.  In this session I will guide you to relax your body to the point where your brain will shift into a theta state.  This will induce deep calm,  quieten your mind, and soothe your nervous system. You will practice the art of dropping all effort and control so you can experience your true state of being as your body is given space to regulate and restore itself naturally. 

I hope you enjoy this meditation as much as I did recording it for you.  Thank you for trusting me to hold space for you and please do share this with someone who would love the gift of healing too.

Thank you.

What’s the point of life?

Do we really have a purpose?

What are we actually here for?

These are questions most of us carry at some point—often quietly, beneath the busyness of everyday life.

In this episode, Paul shares his own experience of searching for meaning, and how an unexpected crash and burn stripped away the answers he thought he needed, revealing something far more honest and grounded beneath it all.

This is not a conversation about fixing yourself or finding a grand purpose. It’s an exploration of what becomes visible when the search itself begins to fall away.

If you’re feeling uncertain about your direction, questioning your purpose, or sensing that there must be more to life than striving and survival, this episode offers a calm, reflective perspective to explore what you may already be closer to than you realise.

As promised, here is the no music version of the Letting Go To Be Free meditation.

Dropping Effort. Restoring Ease. Living from Freedom.

I created this meditation as part of the letting go series to invite you to drop all effort and stop trying to manage your inner experience. This is often the cause of inner wars that create a lot of tension within.

As you rest in simply being, the nervous system naturally settles, subcortical intelligence is regulated, the mind quietens, and a deeper sense of freedom begins to emerge.

This isn’t about fixing yourself, it’s about allowing life to move more easily through you, so clarity, presence, and choice can shape how you live beyond the meditation.

Letting go isn't easy, especially when you care deeply, want to avoid conflict or hurt someone.

In this episode, we explore why it’s so hard to let someone go, whether that’s a relationship, friendship, or professional connection that no longer feels right. If you’ve ever stayed longer than you knew you should, struggled with people-pleasing, or avoided a difficult conversation in the hope things might change… this episode is for you.

I share a personal story from my past and the moment a simple but confronting insight completely changed how I view endings. We’ll look at how holding on can quietly create more suffering, how people-pleasing can become a form of self-protection, and why letting go — when done with honesty and compassion — can be one of the most respectful things you ever do.

You’ll also be guided through reflective coaching questions and practical next steps to help you approach endings with clarity, integrity, and kindness — without guilt, shame, or unnecessary drama.

This episode is for anyone navigating:

Letting go of a relationship or friendship

Fear of difficult conversations

People-pleasing and over-responsibility

Emotional honesty and personal growth

Creating healthier boundaries and aligned relationships

If you’re ready to stop avoiding what you already know and start living with more truth and ease, this conversation will support you.
