A New Way of Being

In this episode, I explore why seeing yourself as “awareness” may not end suffering—and why awakening and embodiment are different parts of the journey. For me, the practical work is noticing where I abandon myself, meeting experience with loving presence, and letting that recognition shape how I relate, set boundaries, and show up in everyday life.

Overthinking may be a signal that something in the body needs attention—or that the mind hasn’t had enough space to slow down. In this episode, I share a compassionate way to meet the feelings beneath the thoughts, plus a simple practice that helps me settle during a restless night.

I had a dream this summer about Alex leaving that stirred up grief connected to a painful experience from when I was 15. On holiday, I noticed myself using a book to avoid the feeling - and chose instead to welcome and feel the grief without resisting it or building a story around it.

In this solo episode, I explore why awakening doesn’t mean being finished with pain - and how turning toward what we avoid can bring shadow work into everyday life and open the way to greater ease, wholeness, and presence.

In this episode Alex and I explore the real meaning of vulnerability and how letting ourselves be truly seen has transformed our relationship, our healing, and our spiritual awakening.We explore the fear of being judged, the importance of feeling safe enough to be seen, and how intention is the key difference between healthy vulnerability and self‑abandonment.
Through a series of honest personal stories—from early moments in our relationship to childhood memories, a big “shame car wash” release, and how we model emotions with our kids—we share how being witnessed in our most tender places can unlock profound healing. We talk about how vulnerability has transformed our marriage, our inner lives, and our work, and how allowing all emotions (including grief, shame and sadness) is inseparable from awakening to our natural state of presence and contentment.

One year ago this week I didn't know if I'd make it back to my wife and kids in one piece. For two weeks after a retreat I was electrically alive — plugged into the mains — with a tremendous amount of fear I was losing my mind. In this episode, one year after my kundalini awakening, I need to be honest about what actually happened: the fear, the empty Sunday where there was no Simon, the energy that wouldn't switch off, and the test that mattered most — would Simon turn up to work?
