The Spirit of Enquiry invites you to explore life and your experience of it more deeply. Together, we’ll go beyond surface-level understanding and conditioned thinking, enquiring with an open heart and real curiosity - to uncover simple yet profound truths and mental health.
As a Change Coach, I help people see beyond habitual stories and beliefs that shape their reality, opening the door to clarity, ease, and enhanced wellbeing.
If you feel stuck, caught in overthinking, or sense there’s more to life, this podcast is for you. Join me as we question assumptions and discover new possibilities.
Ep 51 - Special edition: my interview on The Quality of Mind Transforming Business Podcast
In this special episode, I was a guest on Piers Thurston’s Quality of Mind - Transforming Business podcast, and I wanted to share it here too.
Key things we cover:
Why the mind lives in the past and future, and what that costs us day to day
The case of mistaken identity, and why our sense of self is more fluid than it feels
A real example of helping my son out of an anxiety spiral in real time
Why crisis often reveals resilience (and other innate resources) rather than us having to create them
Why the simplest insights are often the hardest for the mind to accept

Ep 50 - The Habit We Mistook for Ourselves - Identity, Thought and the Illusory Self
Fifty episodes of looking directly at experience - with an open mind and curiosity - to see what’s actually here.
All episodes have been pointing at the same thing:
that beneath the relentless thinking, the worry, the roles we carry and the pressure to get everything right - something was always quietly fine.
And once you see that, the project of managing, fixing and improving yourself starts to look a little different.
In this milestone episode I go deep into identity - what it actually is, why it feels so solid, and what’s here when we stop mistaking it for the truth of who we are. Not as a philosophical concept, but as something you can feel right now, if you’re willing to look.
If you’re holding everything together for aging parents, your kids and your work - and wondering why it feels so heavy - this one’s for you. The roles, the labels, the capable one, the one who sorts things out - we mistake that habit of thought for who we are.
And then spend years managing, fixing and improving something that was never quite as solid as it felt!
This episode looks at how the wellness industry has pointed us in the wrong direction, what neuroscience and physics tell us about the apparent solidity of the self, and what’s quietly here when the mental management falls away.
You don’t need to shift your identity. You just need to see that it was never fixed in the first place.

Ep 49 - The Point of Now - Why Presence is our Greatest Superpower
Most of us spend a surprising amount of life on autopilot - replaying the past, predicting the future, missing the moment we’re actually in.
In this episode, I walk through the POINT model in full: my approach to presence, awareness, and mental clarity that sits at the heart of my work and my book, The Point of Now.
This isn’t mindfulness as a technique, or another set of tools to add to your already-full life.
It’s a recognition that now is the only place life actually happens - and that genuine presence doesn’t have to be effortful or elusive.
Whether you’re new here or have been following for a while, this episode gives you a clear, unhurried look at what The Point™ actually is and how it works - no jargon or performance, just a quiet and direct conversation about what it means to be here.
If you’ve found mindfulness hard to practise, spiritual content increasingly hard to trust, or simply want something grounded and real - this one’s for you.
