Learn how to manage and resolve the fear of failure and become confident in your worth and potential.

This episode explores the fear of failure and how it impacts our lives. Often, life can seem like a race to succeed, and when we stumble, self-doubt creeps in. But fear of failure isn't something to be conquered; it’s something to understand. 

Failure isn't an endpoint; it's a stepping stone for self-development. Fear of failure doesn’t have to control us. By understanding and working with our Inner Child, we can transform fear into a tool for growth and reach our potential. 

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

Understand the impact of childhood rejection in adulthood and discover transformative techniques to help you heal and thrive.

Childhood rejection and neglect often leave a lasting imprint on our emotional and mental wellbeing and shape how we perceive ourselves and interact with the world as adults.

Those who experienced childhood rejection might engage in people-pleasing, perfectionism, or rescuing behaviours in relationships. They may also struggle with trust and self-identity, feeling disconnected from their true selves. This can result in a pattern of seeking validation from others, often in relationships that are imbalanced or unhealthy. The Inner Child also often remains vigilant, constantly seeking evidence to confirm its fears of rejection and unworthiness.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of childhood rejection and explore how it manifests in adulthood, along with some transformative techniques to heal and thrive.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

Welcome to our new Tao Dialogues – powerful yet gentle teachings from David James Lees about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life.

These special spoken-word episodes draw from David's practice as a Taoist monk and teacher and expand upon popular posts in David’s Journal, his Substack blog.

We hope to publish a new Tao Dialogue every third Saturday.

This first Tao Dialogue explores the topic of emotional sensitivity. Sensitivity is often seen as a vulnerability but it can be a powerful force for personal growth and deep connection if managed correctly. In a world where strength is often equated with force, you’ll discover how to redefine sensitivity as your superpower!

Do you often find your mind racing ahead to the future or stuck in the past? You're not alone. 

Many of us struggle to stay rooted in the present moment, letting our Inner Child draw us away with worries and regrets. But what if we could learn to live in the now, appreciating the only thing we truly have control over? 

In this episode, we explore how embracing the present can transform our emotional health and bring peace to our lives.With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).

Do you believe you don't deserve happiness? Many of us carry guilt, shame, or unworthiness that blocks our joy and inner peace. 

In this episode, you’ll discover how these feelings arise from deeper beliefs such as "I'm a bad person" or "I'm not good enough." These beliefs stem from experiences where we felt unloved or unworthy.

You’ll learn how these complex beliefs were formed in childhood and are now rooted in your Inner Child — a part of your mind that holds onto these negative beliefs.

To break free, you must question these beliefs. Ask yourself: Why do I believe I'm not good enough? This self-inquiry often reveals that these beliefs are not based on truth but on past experiences.

You must also accept that we all have innate worth and value. It's not something given by others but something you are born with. Accepting this truth is key to overcoming self-sabotage and embracing happiness.

With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
