The Who Am I Podcast

Episode 7 of the Who Am I Podcast 🎙️

In this episode, I sit down with Lokendra, an Isha Hatha Yoga Teacher who spent 8 years living inside the Sadhguru Ashram in India searching for deeper meaning and understanding of life.

What followed was one of the deepest and most honest conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far.

We spoke about masculinity, mental health, spirituality, relationships, purpose and why so many men still feel lost even when everything looks fine on the outside.

This episode is for the man who’s achieved things but still feels disconnected inside.
The man who’s tired of distractions, noise and chasing validation.
The man who knows there has to be more to life than just surviving and performing.

Topics we covered:
• Masculinity in today’s world  
• Spirituality and inner peace  
• Mental health and emotional struggles  
• Relationships and connection  
• Purpose and self realisation  
• Why external success doesn’t always create fulfilment  

This conversation will make you reflect differently on your life 🌿🔥

Episode 5 of The Who Am I Podcast

In this conversation with Joel Jelen, breathwork and wellbeing coach and author, we sat down and unpacked what most men completely overlook.

We talked about how what looks like a stress problem, a mindset issue, ADHD, poor sleep or low energy can sometimes come down to something far more fundamental.

We explored dysfunctional breathing patterns, over breathing, mouth breathing and how they quietly dysregulate the nervous system. We got into the link between breath and that constant wired feeling, the science of nervous system regulation, and how one conscious inhale and exhale can create a measurable shift in your state.

If you are always on and do not know how to switch off, this episode will land.

Check out episode 14 of the Pactmantality Podcast with my close friend, Human Potential Coach and Breathwork Practitioner  Ben Bidwell. 
On the Podcast we talked deeply and in depth about masculinity and the self development journey and also Ben's experience of facilitating and bringing his incredible experience to Russell Brand's retreat last weekend. 

This is an informative and inspiring conversation on how men's work, breathwork and healing can change the direction of your life for the better, not only for you but the people who you love.  

Enjoy this incredible podcast with some amazing nuggets of wisdom.
