Video: What If Your Brain Isn’t Broken? Understanding Anxiety and the Human Mind Many people who struggle with anxiety quietly believe there is something wrong with them. They think they are too sensitive. Too reactive. Too quick to panic. But what if your brain is not broken at all? What if it is simply running an older survival system that once helped humans stay alive? Thousands of years ago, the people who noticed danger first were the ones who kept the tribe safe. That s

Video: Why Your Mind Keeps Sending You Anxious Thoughts Most people know how social media algorithms work. Click on one video about anxiety, and suddenly your entire feed is full of them. Your mind is not that different. The more attention you give anxious thoughts, the more your mind assumes they are important. It keeps sending more of them your way. No wonder it can start to feel endless. But what most people have never been told is this: You do not have to engage with ever

Video: You Weren’t Born Anxious: Why Worry Isn’t Your Personality Most people who struggle with anxiety believe it is simply part of who they are. They describe themselves as someone who has always worried. Someone cautious. Someone whose mind never switches off. But if you look closely, something interesting appears. You were not born worrying about your job, your relationships, or your future. When we are young, the mind simply starts finding things to worry about. First it

Some problems in life are real and practical — things like finding a new job, ending a relationship, or saving money for a holiday. You’ll know when those are solved because there’s a clear outcome. But many of the things we call “problems” aren’t actually problems at all — they’re thoughts about ourselves, our worth, or what other people think. And those can’t be fixed by more thinking, because they only exist in thought. In this short video, I share two simple questions tha

Have you ever felt completely consumed by worry or anxiety about something that hasn’t even happened yet? Your mind racing, trying to figure it out, plan it out, solve it ahead of time? If so, here are two powerful questions you can ask yourself: Is this happening now? Often, our anxious thoughts are about something in the future—a flight, a job interview, a conversation, an event. But when we stop and ask, Is this actually happening right now? , we create space between ours

Always running late? Stressed before the day even starts? It might feel like the problem is your schedule—or your life—but it’s not. What’s really driving the rush and overwhelm is something much deeper (and far more solvable). In this video, I break down what’s actually  happening when you feel frantic, behind, or like you can’t keep up. It’s not about time. It’s about a state of mind that makes everything feel urgent—even when it’s not. This insight can change how you exper

Welcome to a fresh take on the New Year, New You concept. Unlike typical resolutions, this video challenges the myths around self-improvement at the year's end 🎉 As the year comes to a close, many of us start reflecting on the past year and planning for the next. Society and media bombard us with messages that we need to change and improve ourselves, and reach certain standards. But is that really necessary? 🤔 In this video, I'll help you see through the myths and pressures

In this video, I explore the heart of why we often resist feeling the full spectrum of our emotions, even the positive ones like love and joy. It's time to uncover the truth about emotions and release the fear that holds us back. Key Points Covered: Understanding Our Fear:  Discover why we tend to avoid certain emotions and how this fear limits our emotional experience. Myths About Emotions:  Learn about the common misconceptions that make us believe emotions are unsafe or

I’m thrilled to share with you an episode I recorded for the Spirit Of Enquiry podcast. Alongside fellow Change Coach Suzie Yeulett, we delved into a topic that frequently surfaces in our one-on-one coaching work: anxiety at work. Most of us spend a significant portion of our lives at work, and it can often be an environment that magnifies our insecurities, beliefs, and assumptions. This episode is packed with insights that could transform how you experience anxiety in your p

In this video, Suzie Yeulett and I dive deeper into the topic of anxiety at work, a common issue that many people face. We discuss how situations like high-stake meetings or presentations can feel intimidating and often trigger fear. Interestingly, these fears are rooted in our thoughts rather than the actual event itself. We explore the power of thought and how it shapes our experiences. For example, two people can have entirely different reactions to the same fairground ri

I n this video I’m joined by a fellow Change Coach, Suzie Yeulett. This is part one of a series of live videos we did on Instagram, diving into a fresh perspective on dealing with anxiety at work. As certified Change Coaches, we take an alternative approach that really focuses on understanding how our minds work. Key points include: - Firstly, we explore how it’s important to know that our minds are constantly trying to keep us safe by filling in gaps and making predictions—

Do you ever feel like your mind is running a marathon, constantly filled with thoughts, worries, and what-ifs? If so, you're not alone. In this video, I dive deep into the concept of overthinking and how it impacts our daily lives. I explore what overthinking really is and the function of our mind in this process. Our minds are incredibly powerful tools, but sometimes they can become like a vacuum bag that's too full—clogged with too much thinking and unable to function effic

In this video, I’m diving into the transformative power of being present and living in the now and some of the struggles we can have with this. 🌟 Being fully present can seem like a daunting task, almost impossible at times, right? But what if I told you that while it might be challenging to be present all the time, we can find moments of true presence when we are aware of the mind's role in narrating our experience? In this video, I’ll explore these concepts through a beaut

Doe your mind do what my mind likes to do? Think it's a crystal ball?! Minds have ZERO crystal ball capabilities but still love to pretend they know about the future and what's going to happen 🙃 We can't stop this from happening but we don't have to buy into it or believe it. We can simply notice that the mind is talking this way, and go do something else, while it chats away 😉 Like this video? Please like and subscribe to my YouTube channel .

This video will also be helpful for anyone who has an external circumstance that is unlikely to change, such as a long-term health condition, or a relationship that is unlikely to change. I also speak about those of us who have anxiety around speaking up for ourselves, or don't say what we really want to. If you worry about what other people will th
