Unhindered

Agency is defined as the capacity to act independently and to make our own free choices. It is to have the freedom to set the course for your own life and the personal power to act in a way that moves you in that direction.

However, while it is logical for every adult to have a sense of agency of their own affairs, most people have given this power away and are living affected by someone or something else’s agency over their life instead

Interestingly, this is almost invariably because of the mistakes made the first time you tried to take control of your own life as a teenager or young adult.

On today's episode of 10 minute Tuesday, I’ll show you the 5 things every adult must do in order to take their power back and exercise full agency over their own life in healthy and mature way.

Have you ever noticed that you can be quite a different person depending on who you are talking to, what task you are performing and what clothes you are wearing?

The truth is, we each have a range of different characters inside us that have been developed in different seasons for different roles and to achieve certain goals.

The who’s at your table exercise (introduced to me by Greg Bellingham) is a great way to invite each of these characters to have a seat and a voice so that you are able to understand and use them more effectively.

Find out exactly who is at your table on today’s episode of 10 minute Tuesday.

No matter how wonderful it is to have kids, It is not your life’s purpose to be a parent.

When parenting and purpose get linked as one and the same, it is always dangerous for the family unit. This means you will inadvertently be using your children to validate your existence, meet your psychological needs and protect you from your deepest fears.

It cannot be your purpose to be a parent, any more than it can be your child’s purpose to be your kid.

Children are a gift for a season. You have an opportunity to enjoy them, bless them, equip them for adulthood and release them to be their own person.

Find out how to break out of the parenting for purpose trap on today's episode of 10 minute Tuesday.

Have you ever wondered what it is about big milestone events that give us more ability to change our life?

Does turning 21, 30, 40, or 50 have some kind of magic transformation power, or is it also possible to change your life at 2:31pm on a Wednesday afternoon when it’s not even your birthday?

Listen in to today's episode of 10 minute Tuesday to understand the psychology behind the tendency to wait for arbitrary milestones and how to capitalise on your innate ability to make change whenever you are ready instead.

Although most people seem terrified about going back into the unresolved pain, fear and woundedness of their childhood, unless you go back and rescue the child you will be impacted by that woundedness in every area of life.

On today’s 10 minute Tuesday episode I’ll show you the three big fears that stop adults going back into their past and how to move beyond them in order to effectively rescue the child.

Listen in as I unpack this vital aspect of fully becoming an adult and resolving all insecurity in your life.

There are some that hope there is more to life than just what we can see with our eyes, yet the spiritual reality they seek is as an escape from their current life. As such it is always beyond their grasp in the here and now.

There are others who know that life is spiritual simply because they have experienced it and live from this truth as their ever present reality. It is not seperate from their life, it is the essence of their life!

The only way to to have this kind of spirituality however, is to work out how to be fully human first.

True success is a deeply spiritual journey. There is no other way to describe it.

Listen in as I unpack what this means for you on today’s episode of 10 minute Tuesday.
