  • Summary

  • A New Way of Being is about banishing burnout and finding flow. The way most of us live is focused on 'arriving' at some point in the future, when everything will finally fall into place. But this is a trap. When we treat this moment as a stepping stone to a seemingly more important future moment, we risk never truly living. This constant seeking leads to burnout, and a nagging sense of lack - as if something is always missing. It keeps us from experiencing the flow, awe, and peace that naturally arise when we embrace THIS moment, however it happens to show up.

  • Step Into 2025: Why Walking is the Ultimate Brain Booster

    Step Into 2025: Why Walking is the Ultimate Brain Booster
    Jan 10 2025
    It’s a new year – and there’s no better time to start a habit that could transform your mind and body. Most of us walk – but almost none of us walk enough. We’re a sedentary species, and it’s only gotten worse in recent years. But here’s the truth: our bodies weren’t built for all this sitting. Walking isn’t just movement – it’s a powerhouse for health. It supports our organs, aids digestion, slows brain aging, and sharpens creativity. Neuroscientist and bestselling author Shane O’Mara is here to explain why getting more steps in each day can transform your mind, mood, and body. From lowering stress to sparking fresh ideas, Shane’s message is simple: walking works. So if you’re looking for one small but powerful change to kick off the year, this episode will remind you why it’s time to step up – literally.

  • Your Willpower Is Weak – But Your Design Power Is Strong (90-Second Reminder)

    Your Willpower Is Weak – But Your Design Power Is Strong (90-Second Reminder)
    Jan 8 2025
    Beating yourself up because you scroll more than you want to? Stop it. Just understand that our willpower is not strong enough to continually resist the lure of the hyper addictive smartphone. So what to do? Embrace your design power. Make it harder to use your phone. Get a lock case. Consider buying a backup 'dumb phone'. I did this and turn my smartphone off in the evenings and weekends, and the people who need me can still get in touch. It has been SO liberating! This principle of understanding the limitations of our willpower and embracing our design power can be used to improve your life across the board - from what you eat to how you focus.

  • Beyond Burnout: Embracing Rest and Self-Compassion with Fiona Agombar

    Beyond Burnout: Embracing Rest and Self-Compassion with Fiona Agombar
    Jan 6 2025
    How to Reconnect with Your Inner Wisdom and Find True Wellbeing. At this time of New Year resolutions, it’s easy to fall into the trap of pushing harder and faster. But in a world already moving at breakneck speed, chronic stress, overwhelm, and burnout have become alarmingly common. This episode offers a vital alternative: the power of rest. My guest, Fiona Agombar, is a yoga therapist, rest activist, and author of Breathe, Rest, Recover. Having experienced severe burnout herself as a high-flying business owner, Fiona knows firsthand the life-changing impact of embracing rest without shame or guilt. She shares how rest not only helps us recover but also reconnects us with our inner wisdom and reveals what we truly want from life. We discuss the profound benefits of slowing down, tuning into the body, and practising self-compassion. Fiona also highlights practical ways to integrate rest into daily life, from conscious breathing and micro-breaks to managing "tech apnea"—the impact of constant screen use on breathing and stress levels. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone seeking to break free from the relentless pace of modern life. Topics covered: The concept of rest activism and why reintroducing rest and convalescence into modern life is essential. Why people struggle to rest and the dangers of ignoring signs from our body. How interoception and tuning into inner wisdom can aid in overcoming stress and burnout. Fiona’s personal journey of healing from chronic illness through yoga and self-inquiry. Practical strategies for rest and recovery, including conscious breathing and micro-breaks. The effects of news consumption and technology on our wellbeing and mental health. The importance of recognising the background aware presence that is always available.
