Overthinking can feel relentless. In this episode I share four simple things that help calm a busy mind, from grounding and breathing to reconnecting with the body and nature. Then I explore the deeper reason we overthink — and why the mind often spins when we’re avoiding a feeling.

People pleasing often looks kind on the surface. But over time it can lead to exhaustion, resentment - and burnout. In this episode, I explore why people pleasing develops in the first place and why it’s rooted in a childhood strategy to secure love and approval. More importantly, I share a different way of working with the pattern. Instead of trying to force yourself to “stop”, the real shift comes from recognising the deeper fear driving it and learning how to meet that feeling directly.

When you do, something surprising happens: the pattern begins to soften, and the approval you’ve been chasing outside yourself becomes far less important. If you struggle to say no, overcommit, or feel responsible for other people’s emotions, this episode will help you understand why - and what actually leads to lasting change.

Why does it sometimes feel like something's still missing - even after deep insight?

In this short episode, Simon explores the hidden motivations behind the search for awakening, the role of self-worth in seeking, and why surrender matters more than chasing another breakthrough.

In this episode, Alex and I share a five-month update since my awakening experience - and how it’s actually showing up in our relationship. One of the biggest misconceptions about spiritual awakening is that it removes triggers or makes you permanently peaceful. That hasn’t been our experience.

We talk honestly about what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how old relational patterns still surface - but are met differently. We also share some news about upcoming retreats and what we’re building next.

Many people struggle to say no without over-explaining — not because they lack communication skills, but because part of them feels unsafe being misunderstood.

In this episode, Simon explores the deeper emotional pattern behind over-explaining and how meeting the underlying feeling with presence and compassion naturally leads to clearer boundaries and greater self-trust.

In this conversation, I’m joined by physicist and microprocessor pioneer Federico Faggin for an exploration of consciousness, reality, and awakening. Federico is widely recognised for his role in shaping modern computing, yet after years of professional success he found himself deeply unhappy. In 1990, a spontaneous awakening experience radically shifted how he understood himself and the nature of reality. Rather than dismissing that experience, he spent decades integrating it with science, leading him to a view in which consciousness and free will are fundamental to the universe, not products of the brain. We talk about direct experience, science, meaning, and what all this might mean for humanity at this point in time.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Federico’s background in physics and computing, and how his inner life didn’t match his outer success
• Why professional achievement alone didn’t bring fulfilment
• Federico’s spontaneous awakening experience in 1990 and how it changed everything
• The importance of direct experience over concepts or beliefs
• Why love is not something we find outside ourselves
• How Federico developed his model of reality after his awakening
• Quantum physics explained in clear, simple terms
• A practical analogy for understanding the collapse of the wave function
• The limitations of materialism and the flaws of “scientism”
• Free will, the separate self, and what it really means to choose
• The deeper purpose of the human experience
• How suffering, war, and evil can be understood through this lens
• Simon’s own kenshō experience and what followed
• The difference between talking about awakening and living it
• Why responsibility and honesty are essential for real awakening
• The post-awakening “dark night” and integration
• Why this moment in history feels pivotal
• The relationship between fear, science, and belief systems
• Why consciousness must be the starting point
• The spiritual quickening happening now
• What needs to change — individually and collectively
• Why love, ultimately, matters more than fear
