Description
This podcast is really just me sharing my journey, the lessons I’m learning in business, personal development, and life as a whole. It’s not about having all the answers, but about exploring ideas, challenging old stories, and reflecting on what actually makes a difference.
Sometimes I’ll share concepts I’ve picked up from coaching or experiences I’ve had running businesses, other times it’s just me being real about the challenges and breakthroughs I’m working through myself.
Hopefully these episodes spark a shift in you, a new insight or even just reassurance that someone else gets it.

In this episode, Chris explores how our state of mind shifts our entire experience of life. When we’re zoomed in—caught in thoughts, roles, and self-criticism—life feels heavy, pressured, and overwhelming. But when we zoom out and see our thoughts for what they are—temporary stories—the weight lifts and freedom returns.Chris shares personal reflections and client insights on:How easily we get trapped in self-judgment around one area of life (like business).Why external circumstances rarely change as much as our internal state does.How thoughts and emotions feed each other, creating spirals that feel “real.”The role of awareness, stillness, and simple resets in breaking free.Why internal freedom leads to better relationships, performance, and joy.This is a practical reminder that nothing outside needs to change before you can feel lighter inside—and from that place, life naturally feels better and flows more easily.
This episode is a personal reflection on a concept that’s been a real game-changer for me: the three C’s. I share how we move through life as the Character, the roles and stories we identify with, yet we also have the power of the Creator, shaping how we show up and what we build. And beyond both sits Consciousness, the stillness and awareness that holds it all together.I talk through my own experiences in business and life, the traps of ego and identity, and how stepping back into creator energy, or even further into pure consciousness can reset our perspective. Sometimes it only takes a pause, a reminder, or a coaching conversation to shift the way we see everything.
In this podcast episode, Chris and Nick discuss the concept of authenticity and its importance in personal development. They define authenticity as acting in line with one's values and discuss the need for self-awareness and self-work to determine those values. They also explore the idea of control and focus on what can be controlled, as well as the concept of finding peace within oneself. The conversation highlights the benefits of authenticity, such as happiness and influence, and the challenges of maintaining it in daily life. In this conversation, Nik Bunney and Chris discuss the importance of rest, self-love, and authenticity in finding balance and happiness. They emphasise the need to prioritise values and goals that truly matter to us, rather than chasing external validation or societal expectations. They also highlight the significance of questioning our motivations and desires to ensure they align with our true happiness. The conversation concludes with a reminder to appreciate the present moment and find joy in the simple things in life.
