Episode 55: Why Time Feels Faster As You Age - And How to Slow It Down
Three years since the first episode, Jordan and Zak are back on the same couch, and they open on time. Why it speeds up as you get older, why a weekend in a Daylesford cabin with nothing planned drags it back to a crawl, and what your brainwaves are doing when you drop into a meditation and lose track of the clock.
It moves from there into neutralising fear instead of running from it, why speaking into a problem dissolves it while speaking about it keeps it swinging back, and where your decisions actually come from in a world where reviews, algorithms and AI will happily choose for you. Records over Netflix. A barber found by walking off the street. And the cascade that kicks off the second you sit down to eat lunch with a phone in your hand.

Episode 54: The Work Is Never Done - And That's the Point
Episode Description
Jordan and Zak trace their journeys from rigid, system-bound practitioners to where they are now - trusting their intuition, sitting with uncertainty, and actually enjoying the process. They get into what it really means to work with someone (and be someone) who's still on the path, why curiosity is the most underrated clinical tool, and why the best coaches are the ones who haven't got it all figured out.
