How to Change Your Thinking in Two Minutes with Ken Hudson | Episode 34
What if changing your thinking did not require months of effort, but simply knowing how and when to switch?
In Episode 34 of Your Truth Explored, Rodney Reynders speaks with Ken Hudson, author of Switch Thinking, published by Wiley. Ken has spent more than 20 years helping leaders and organisations think more creatively.
Ken explains how switching between structured and creative thinking can help us move beyond rigid patterns, interrupt self-criticism and discover possibilities we may otherwise overlook.
In this conversation, Rodney and Ken explore:
• Why changing your thinking can feel so difficult
• How your internal filtering system restricts creativity
• The power of the two-minute mindset switch
• Moving from seeing the glass as half empty to half full
• Applying Switch Thinking to leadership and relationships
• Finding different ways to approach conflict
• The opportunities and risks presented by artificial intelligence
This is not about pretending everything is positive. It is about recognising that another perspective may be available and that you have more control over your thinking than you may realise.
What situation in your life could benefit from a switch?

Why Men Need Brotherhood: Men’s Mental Health | Jacob O’Neill | Your Truth Explored Episode 32
Why do so many men find it easier to support others than to admit when they need support themselves?
In Episode 32 of Your Truth Explored, Rodney Reynders speaks with Jacob O’Neill, founder of The Gathering of Men and co-founder of the Embodied Man Institute.
Jacob explores men’s mental health, brotherhood and the “worthiness wound”. Together, they discuss why safety must come before genuine belonging, why many men struggle to receive love and support, and how the identity of the “Aussie battler” can keep men pushing through pain alone.
This conversation explores:
• Safety, belonging and self-worth
• Brotherhood as an important fourth area of a man’s life
• Healthy masculinity and emotional honesty
• Serving from overflow rather than suffering
• Why receiving support can feel uncomfortable
• The value of men’s groups and retreats
• Investing in personal growth and wellbeing
Most men do not need saving. They may simply need support and guidance in the right direction.
