The Mind Solution Podcast

Why Self Awareness is The New Superpower in The Workplace We like to believe that we’re in control of our lives — that we’re consciously choosing how we respond, what we think, how we behave. But here’s the truth: more than 95% of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are driven by unconscious conditioned responses. And if you can’t see those responses? You can’t change them. That’s why self-awareness isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a superpower. It’s the only way to interrupt those automatic patterns that keep you in emotional loops like anxiety, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome. And it’s the first step toward real, sustainable change. The unconscious mind isn’t just the brain — it’s your body. We often think of the unconscious as this mysterious part of the mind. But in reality, your body is the unconscious mind. Your nervous system — shaped by years of emotional conditioning — has memorised how to live in states like fear, stress, or low self-worth. And your brain? It listens. It creates thoughts that match the body’s baseline emotions. That’s how you get caught in the “thinking–feeling loop”: A thought triggers a feeling, the feeling reinforces the thought, and over time, it becomes your default. This is why people say “I’ve always been an anxious person” or “This is just who I am.” But that’s not true. You are not your anxiety. You are not your insecurity. What you’re experiencing is the residue of past emotional conditioning, not your identity. I’ve worked with hundreds of people who’ve felt trapped in cycles of anxiety, exhaustion, and self-doubt, despite trying everything: medication, EAPs, CBT, and talking therapy. The reason it hasn’t worked? Because talking about your problems often keeps you stuck in the same mental-emotional loop. You’re rehearsing the problem, not rewiring the response. Real transformation happens somatically, not just cognitively. The future of workplace wellbeing isn’t more advice. It’s not more surface-level mental health campaigns. It’s a shift toward somatic, neuroscience-backed tools that help your people recondition their emotional baseline. That’s why I’m so passionate about introducing cymatic practices like: EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) Energy psychology Quantum flow and breath-based emotional release tools These aren’t abstract theories — they’re practical tools we teach in real time during our employee wellbeing webinars. And the results are instant. I’ve seen employees go from feeling overwhelmed to regulated in under 10 minutes. I’ve watched physical symptoms dissolve after just a few rounds of tapping. And every time, I hear the same words: “What just happened? I feel completely different.” That’s the power of rewiring the nervous system. Self-awareness is essential for employee wellbeing and personal development. When your people understand what’s really driving their stress, anxiety, or reactivity, everything shifts. Because now they have agency. Now they can interrupt the pattern instead of being hijacked by it. They can respond with clarity instead of reacting with fear. They can show up with confidence, calm, and presence — because they’re no longer at the mercy of outdated emotional conditioning. And here’s the best part: this is their natural state. Feelings like calm, joy, connection, and stability — these aren’t things we need to manufacture. They’re already within us. But the nervous system has to be taught how to return there. That’s the work we do. We teach your employees how to come back to who they really are. Not the version running on autopilot. The version that’s conscious, regulated, and empowered. Because when people learn how to self-regulate, when they stop outsourcing their power, when they feel emotionally safe in their own bodies — the ripple effect on workplace performance is profound. So if you’re a leader, a wellbeing manager, or someone who knows your team is capable of so much more — let’s talk. Ready to create real-time transformation in your workplace?

Manifestation is one of my absolute favourite topics—ever since I discovered The Celestine Prophecy at 20, I’ve been fascinated by how we create our own reality. And while manifesting isn't something I talk specifically about very often, it’s a huge part of empowerment—because owning your power means realising that you are the creator of your experience. In the self-help world, we’ve all heard that in order to manifest, we must: ✔️ Visualize daily ✔️ Write gratitude lists ✔️ Engage in manifestation rituals ✔️ Stay in the feeling of already having what we desire But… what if you didn’t need to do any of that? What if the most powerful way to manifest was not to do anything at all? 💡 Inside this episode: ✔️ Why traditional manifestation techniques might be keeping you stuck ✔️ The surprising truth about manifestation that no one talks about ✔️ How to step into effortless creation mode, where what you desire naturally comes to you If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the “rules” of manifestation, this episode will shift everything. 🎧 Hit play and step into effortless creation. 🚀✨

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Carol Look, EFT Master and author of The Yes Code. Together, we dive into how self-sabotaging behaviours like perfectionism, procrastination, and neglecting self-care hold so many women in leadership back—and how EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) can help you overcome these patterns. Carol opens up about her personal journey, sharing how she broke free from these behaviours herself, and explains why these patterns are often deeply wired into our nervous system. We discuss how these behaviours might have served you in the past but are now blocking your success, happiness, and well-being. ✨ In this episode, we explore: The hidden ways self-sabotage shows up in leadership. Why perfectionism feels productive but often leads to burnout. How EFT  empowers you to overcome these self-sabotaging behaviours, get out of your way and thrive in all areas of your life.  How to spot signs of trauma and how EFT can enable you to process trauma without the need for talking therapy. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty or stuck in cycles of proving yourself, this conversation is for you. Join us as we explore how you can overcome self-sabotage and step into leadership with balance and authenticity.

Are you leading in a way that feels aligned—or just surviving in a system built for men? In this special International Women’s Day episode, I'm talking about the divine feminine in leadership and why so many high-achieving women feel exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of overworking. For too long, success has been measured by productivity, structure, and pushing harder. But what if true leadership isn’t about working more—but about leading from ease, intuition, and trust? Join me as I share:✨ What divine feminine leadership actually means (and why it’s NOT about being passive).✨ Why shifting from force to flow will make you a more impactful and powerful leader.✨ Practical ways to embrace your feminine power without losing credibility. 💡 Want to go deeper?

💥 If you’re someone who prides yourself on being strong, independent, and capable—someone who has their shit together—then experiencing an emotional wobble can feel… unsettling. Maybe even frustrating. Because aren’t you the one who’s supposed to have it all figured out? In this episode, I'm taking a different spin on emotional wobbles—what they actually mean, why they don’t define you, and how to move through them in a way that supports your nervous system rather than fighting against it. Because here’s the thing—being emotionally wobbly doesn’t mean you’re weak. It doesn’t mean you’ve lost control. And it definitely doesn’t mean you’re failing. But if you’re used to seeing yourself as ‘Superwoman’—handling life, business, finances, and everything in between—then you might struggle to give yourself permission to feel without making it mean something about who you are. So, if you’ve ever found yourself resisting vulnerability, pushing through when your body is asking you to pause, or making yourself wrong for feeling off-kilter—this one’s for you. Let’s talk about what’s really going on beneath the surface, how to regulate your nervous system during those wobbly moments, and why true strength includes allowing yourself to be human.

Imposter syndrome doesn’t discriminate. No matter how successful we are, that nagging voice of self-doubt can creep in. In this episode, I dive into the reality of overcoming imposter syndrome, sharing insights on why even high achievers—like Richard Branson, as he recently revealed in his BBC interview—struggle with it. I explore the irony of success and self-doubt, why achievements alone don’t quiet imposter syndrome, and how to step into true confidence. Plus, I share a personal and surprising encounter with Richard Branson that proves when we get out of our own way, we naturally radiate confidence. If you’ve had enough of second-guessing yourself and you’re ready to finally feel worthy of your success, this episode is for you. 🎧 💥 And if you are ready to tap into your innate confidence and self-worth, check out my Women in Leadership Programme 💥

In this deep and transformative episode, I invite women in leadership to explore the true source of their moment-to-moment experiences. Emotional hijacking can often feel overwhelming, but when we understand what's truly driving our thoughts, emotions, and reactions, life begins to shift in ways we never imagined possible. I dive into the polarity of emotions and how habitual, conditioned responses are formed. Together, we explore the human psyche, the impact of trauma on our patterns, beliefs, and identity, and how these unconscious influences can shape our reality. But this isn't about fixing ourselves—we are not broken. It's about stepping into our personal power by understanding what’s creating our experience and using that insight to transform how we live, lead, and love. Through examples of clients who have overcome painful childhood experiences, I show how they moved from old, limiting patterns to anchored states of being that elevate their vibration and attract extraordinary opportunities into their lives. I also share my personal journey from self-criticism to self-love, offering practical steps you can start taking today to create meaningful change. This is an episode to listen to again and again, as it’s packed with insights, actionable tools, and inspiration to help you step into your highest potential.

Burnout isn’t just about working too hard; it’s about what’s missing. And in leadership, what’s often missing is emotional nourishment. In this podcast, I explore a different take on why burnout continues to plague women in leadership, even when they’ve implemented all the right strategies. Because the real issue? It’s not just workload. It’s not just stress. It’s unmet emotional needs. "I’ve Tried Everything… But I’m Still Exhausted" Recently, a woman in leadership reached out to me. She’d taken two weeks off over Christmas. No emails. No meetings. Space to recharge. And yet, she felt no better. “I’ve tried everything,” she told me. “I meditate, I use the Calm app, I don’t check emails after 6 pm, but I still wake up feeling depleted. Her voice cracked when she said, “If I don’t have the energy to do the things I love, what’s the point of all this?” That conversation stayed with me. This woman leads a large global team. She’s committed, brilliant, and deeply self-aware. But no matter how many wellness habits she stacked up, the exhaustion never lifted. When we explored her relationships, especially at home, it became clear: she was giving endlessly, but not getting her emotional needs met. Why Burnout Isn’t Just About Work There’s a pattern I see again and again, especially in women leaders: You hold space for your team, your children, and your partner. You’re the one people come to when they need support. You don’t want to be a burden, so you rarely ask for help. You downplay your emotional needs because “others have it worse.” The result? Chronic depletion. Burnout doesn’t just come from back-to-back meetings. It comes from the emotional weight you carry in silence. And that weight gets heavier when your emotional needs—being seen, heard, valued, loved—go unmet. The Missing Piece in Resilience and Leadership Training Most resilience training for managers focuses on the surface: time management, mindfulness, and breathing techniques. And while those are helpful, they miss the root cause of burnout for many women: A dysregulated nervous system that never feels truly safe or supported. This is where traditional training falls short. It teaches leaders to “manage stress,” but it doesn’t explore what’s creating the stress response in the first place. When your emotional needs aren’t met, your nervous system stays in survival mode. You become hyper-vigilant. You overthink. You shut down. You start to question your value. You push harder because you're terrified of letting anyone down. But you don’t need more pressure, you need restoration. Signs Your Emotional Needs Aren’t Being Met Here are some of the subtle signs that your burnout may be rooted in unmet emotional needs: You feel like you're constantly “giving” in your relationships, with little in return. You rarely feel truly heard or validated when you express your emotions. You crave connection, but often feel alone, even when you're not. You find yourself daydreaming about running away, just for a break. You wonder, “Why can’t I just be happy? I have so much to be grateful for…” This isn’t just personal, it’s neurological. When we don’t feel safe, supported, or connected in our closest relationships, our nervous system enters a prolonged state of dysregulation. We stay in fight, flight, or freeze, draining our emotional and physical energy. Real Resilience Starts with Emotional Safety If you want to lead with energy, clarity, and strength, you need a regulated nervous system. And that starts by getting honest about what you need, not just at work, but at home. Emotional safety isn’t a luxury. It’s a leadership necessity. Our Resilience Training for Managers bridges this gap. We go beyond surface strategies and equip managers and leaders with the tools to: Recognise the emotional and nervous system patterns driving burnout Create psychologically safe environments for their teams and themselves Build real emotional intelligence grounded in regulation, not performance Reconnect with their own needs, boundaries, and personal leadership identity You can’t lead well when you’re emotionally starved. You can’t show up powerfully when your nervous system is in survival mode. You can’t bounce back from stress if your relationships leave you depleted. This is the deeper work, and it’s what’s been missing in most corporate training. ✨ Ready to address the root cause of burnout?

Your ability to lead with confidence, clarity, and calm doesn’t start with strategy; it starts with your nervous system. If you’ve ever walked into a meeting with a smile while secretly fighting overwhelm, overthinking every word after a presentation, or wondering why burnout keeps creeping in no matter how “well” you perform, this is the conversation you didn’t know you needed. Why Nervous System Regulation Matters More Than Mindset Leadership training often talks about communication, decision-making, and emotional intelligence. But here’s what most resilience training for managers misses: your nervous system drives your ability to access those skills in the first place. The Polyvagal theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, helps us understand how our autonomic nervous system governs how we respond to stress, connection, and challenge. It’s not just about "fight or flight." It’s about whether you can stay grounded, present, and emotionally intelligent while facing pressure. When your nervous system is dysregulated, the best leadership advice in the world won’t land. Because you’re operating from survival. Six Signs Your Nervous System Might Be in Survival Mode Let’s get specific. If you recognise any of these patterns, your nervous system could be stuck in a chronic stress response: Overthinking everything—replaying conversations, questioning decisions, worrying how you're being perceived. Perfectionism—feeling like you can't drop the ball anywhere, ever. Imposter syndrome—no matter the title or success, you’re waiting to be "found out." Trouble switching off—you’re physically off the clock, but mentally still in work mode. Avoiding confrontation—even when something needs to be said, your body freezes. People-pleasing—you say “yes” automatically, then resent it later. These aren’t just bad habits. They’re nervous system responses. And most of them trace back to childhood or past experiences where your system learned it wasn’t safe to relax, be seen, or make mistakes. Why This Isn’t in Most Resilience Training for Managers Resilience training for managers and leaders often focuses on external strategies: workload management, time off, and stress tips. But resilience doesn’t come from more time in your calendar. It comes from feeling safe in your body. Traditional resilience training teaches behaviour change. But behaviour doesn’t shift sustainably unless the nervous system shifts too. When your body feels safe, your mind thinks clearly. When your nervous system is regulated, your executive function comes online. That’s when emotional intelligence becomes more than a buzzword; it becomes embodied. How We Bring This into the Workplace In our Resilience Training for Managers and emotional intelligence training in leadership, we teach leaders how to recognise the physiological signs of stress, not just the behavioural ones. A Quick Example A senior HR Director I worked with used to spiral into overthinking before every board meeting. Her chest would tighten, her mind would race, and she’d rehearse what to say ten times. Even though she was highly competent, her nervous system was in a loop of “this isn’t safe.” After learning how to regulate her nervous system, she no longer dreads those meetings. She walks in grounded, speaks clearly, and recovers quickly from feedback or challenge. Nothing external changed. She just stopped operating in survival mode. Why This Is Especially Important for Women in Leadership As women, many of us have been socially conditioned to suppress emotion, prove ourselves, or over-function to earn a seat at the table. That creates chronic nervous system dysregulation, which I call "high-functioning survival." But you can’t lead your team, make aligned decisions, or enjoy your success if you’re constantly managing an internal storm. True resilience doesn’t look like pushing through. It looks like regulation. Ready to Bring This Into Your Organisation? If you want to raise the quality of leadership, reduce burnout, and create emotionally intelligent teams, nervous system regulation must be the foundation. 📩 Book a resilience training session for your managers  

🌿 Leading with Humanity: One HR Director’s Journey Through Bipolar and Back In this extraordinary episode, I sit down with Rohan Kallicharan, then HR Director of Carbon Clean, as he shares one of the most courageous and deeply human stories we've featured on the podcast. Rohan speaks openly about living with bipolar disorder — including his experience of three suicide attempts — and what it truly means to lead while living with a mental health condition. This conversation isn’t about theory or frameworks. It’s about real life. Real leadership. And the power of telling the truth about how we’re really doing. 💬 What Happens When Leaders Go First? When someone in a senior role has the courage to say, “This is what I’ve lived through,” it creates a ripple effect of trust. It gives others permission to speak. And it’s in those moments that cultures begin to change. We talk about how HR leaders, founders, and senior executives can create a culture of psychological safety — one where conversations about mental health and wellbeing are not just encouraged, but embedded in the way people lead, listen, and connect. This isn’t just about having a policy or a programme. It’s about what it looks like to lead with humanity. 🎧 Listen to the Full Episode Whether you’re an HR professional, a founder, or a manager, Rohan’s story will leave you changed. 👉 Listen now: Leading with Humanity – Rohan Kallicharan on Bipolar, Leadership, and the Culture of Mental Health Because the strongest workplaces aren’t built on performance alone.

🧠 How a Snowglobe Can Transform Your Life: A Mindset Shift for Employee Wellbeing In our employee wellbeing programmes and mental health training for managers, we often see how overthinking quietly sabotages decision-making, emotional regulation, and personal resilience. This episode — How a Snowglobe Can Transform Your Life — is your invitation to see your thinking in a whole new way. 🎧 At the heart of our conversation is a metaphor that changes lives: the snowglobe. ❄️ The Snowglobe Metaphor: What It Reveals About the Mind When you shake a snowglobe, it clouds over instantly. You can’t force it to clear — you just have to wait. The same is true for your mind. Most people today operate with a constantly shaken snowglobe. Their thinking is busy, repetitive, stress-inducing, and — most importantly — invisible. The mind produces one anxious thought, then another, and another... and we mistake all of it for truth. But here’s the shift:🧘 Thoughts are not the problem. Believing them is. 🚨 Why Overthinking Is Wrecking Employee Wellbeing Overthinking doesn’t just cause mental fatigue. It: Activates the body’s stress response Impairs decision-making Reduces creativity Fuels imposter syndrome Damages collaboration In health and wellbeing in the workplace, we often focus on external factors — workloads, boundaries, hours. But the real revolution happens when we look inward and understand the internal architecture of experience. Employees aren’t struggling because of what’s happening.They’re struggling because of what they’re thinking about what’s happening. 🌱 You Can’t Think Your Way Out of Overthinking We often try to “solve” stress with more thinking: "What should I do about this?""What if this goes wrong?""How do I stop feeling like this?" But trying to think your way out of overthinking is like trying to stop a spinning top by pushing it harder. In this episode, we explore how your mind naturally self-corrects — if you let it. Your employee wellbeing solutions don't need to include more coping strategies or productivity hacks. They need clarity. That clarity comes from understanding: You are not your thoughts Your thoughts aren’t reality You don’t have to believe them When the mind settles, your innate wisdom surfaces. And from that space, you're more grounded, present, and emotionally sovereign. 🧘 Why This Matters in Mental Health Training for Managers One of the most powerful shifts we witness in our online mental health training and live wellbeing webinars is when managers finally see what’s truly creating their experience — and what’s shaping their team’s behaviour too. 🧩 It’s not the meeting, the restructure, or the hybrid schedule.It’s what we think those things mean. And once you see that?You stop trying to manage every external factor — and instead lead from clarity, emotional intelligence, and compassion. 💡 What Happens When the Mind Settles Here’s what we see in organisations using our employee wellbeing platform and company wellbeing programs: ✅ Employees feel calmer, more resilient, and less reactive✅ Teams communicate with more emotional awareness✅ Managers stop overfunctioning and start leading✅ People show up as their real selves — not their stress response The result?More grounded decision-making, better performance, and a genuine culture of wellbeing. 📢 Want More Snowglobe Moments in Your Workplace? If your team is stuck in overthinking, burnout, or reactivity, it’s time for a different kind of support.

🚫 Why the Fear of Failure Doesn’t Exist What if failure isn’t real? What if it’s just a thought—a momentary story your mind tells you? In this episode, we challenge the entire concept of failure, revealing how fear is generated from within—and why understanding this can transform how we lead, perform, and show up at work. 💭 The Illusion of Failure We talk about fear of failure all the time in the workplace. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of looking foolish. Fear of letting people down. But what if none of that fear comes from the situation? What if it’s all created internally? This episode explores: Why fear of failure is a thought, not a truth How your perception creates your emotional reality Why freeing yourself from the illusion of failure changes everything—from leadership to performance to wellbeing 🧠 Empowerment Through Insight When people realise their experience is internally generated, they gain the most powerful thing of all: choice. You’ll hear: Why fear dissolves the moment it’s seen for what it is How emotional clarity creates confident action Why this kind of insight is foundational to emotional intelligence training and employee wellbeing at work 🎧 Listen Now If fear of failure is something you—or your people—struggle with, this episode offers a powerful reframe: There is no failure. Only thought. And thought isn’t permanent, personal, or predictive. 💬 Want to Help Your Teams Lead From Clarity, Not Fear?

🧠 Stress: Why We Need to Go Back to Basics Before we talk about sleep, resilience, or high performance, we need to talk about stress. In this short episode, I explain why understanding the stress response is the essential starting point for any employee wellbeing programme or webinar—and why skipping this step is like building on sand. 🧬 What Stress Is (And What It Isn’t) There are some fantastic employee wellbeing programmes and employee wellbeing webinars available today—covering everything from nutrition and sleep to leadership and energy management. But if your people don’t understand what stress actually is, none of it sticks. In this episode, we explore: Why 99% of physical health conditions begin with the stress response What the freeze, fight, flight, and fawn patterns look like in real time How stress is created internally—not by tasks, people, or job roles 🧠 Laying the Right Foundation for Wellness at Work Wellbeing isn’t something we layer on top of burnout. It’s something we build from the inside out—starting with awareness. This episode helps you reframe: Why awareness of the neuroscience of stress is the first step to real change How stress patterns become invisible without education Why this is the foundation of wellness at work and not a “nice to have” 🎧 Listen Now If your organisation is investing in wellbeing but still seeing high stress levels, this episode offers a simple but powerful truth: Until people understand what’s happening in their own bodies and minds, nothing else can take root. 💬 Want to Introduce the Basics of Stress to Your Teams?
