In this episode, I’m joined by Clare Downham, for a thoughtful conversation about stress, anxiety, and where our experience really comes from.

Many people believe stress is caused by external pressure, demanding work, or difficult circumstances. In this conversation, we explore a different perspective — that stress and anxiety are created from the inside out, through the moment-to-moment experience of thought.

Together, we talk about:

• Why stress can feel constant even when life looks “fine”

• How anxiety can show up without an obvious external cause

• Why insight brings more ease than effort or coping strategies

• How understanding the source of experience naturally reduces pressure

This episode is for anyone who is high-functioning, capable, and successful, yet still experiences internal stress or anxiety — and is curious about a simpler, more compassionate understanding of wellbeing.

When the pace slows in January, the mind gets louder. For high performers, that's often when stress, anxiety, and burnout surface. This episode explores what's really happening beneath the January blues - and why it has less to do with work than you think.

That quiet, peaceful and lovely feeling you get on Christmas day with your close ones is the real you. I'd like to demonstrate on this podcast recording that this is an experience of life like any other. You can have this experience all year round when you're back at work (it is possible!).

Have a Merry Christmas from me and a great time over the festive season with your friends and family.

Sit back, relax and enjoy a wonderful conversation between myself and Jessie Douglass-Smith McGraw on work stress and The Three Principles understanding.

Jessie is now a teacher of The Three Principles understanding based in Los Angeles, USA to clients. She has her own podcast and Youtube channel named "What Moves You with Jessie" which features conversations between her and some of the most incredible guests such as Linda Pransky, Dr Aaron Turner and Rohini Ross. I really recommend that you check those out also and I will put links to her website, podcast etc below.

Me and Jessie had an absolute blast recording this podcast together. We really hope whoever listens gets a lot out of it and deepens their own understanding about how life really works to help them in life and work.

If you or your husband / wife has a stressful job then with a deeper understanding of life there's no reason why you can't have a healthy, happy, marriage together despite that. Listen to the recording to understand why :)

I have a different style of podcast for you this week. On this episode I chat with Peter Field. Peter has been heavily involved in self help for many years now. He has his own book called "Lighten Your Load" and has been absorbing himself in a deep psychological understanding known as The Three Principles over the last 10 years. I have included a link to Peters instagram profile below.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. :)
