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

We’re often told that the way to solve a problem is to think about it — harder, longer, and deeper. But what if that’s actually the thing keeping you stuck? In this short video, I share a simple metaphor that might completely change the way you see overthinking, and help you find clarity when your mind feels full and noisy. 🎥 Watch now to see why thinking less can bring the answers you’ve been looking for.

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
