What if the thing holding you back isn’t a lack of courage, but a lack of trust?In this episode, we’re joined by leadership coach, entrepreneur and advisor Devon Kerns for a wide-ranging conversation about fear, possibility, self-trust and what it means to truly lead yourself.Devon shares how his own experiences with loss, entrepreneurship and personal transformation have shaped the way he sees life, and why sometimes the biggest leap we can take is learning to stop trying to control everything and start listening to ourselves.We explore what happens when we move from force to flow, how our past experiences can shape the choices we make, and how creating enough safety within ourselves can allow us to take meaningful risks and step into possibilities we couldn’t previously see.We also talk about:Why knowing yourself may be more important than finding your “purpose”Learning to listen to the wisdom of your bodyHow curiosity can open doors that fear keeps closedWhy we don’t need to fix everything we’re not good atLetting go of the need to know exactly where a leap will take youCreating more space for freedom, ease and an exceptional lifeWhat AI might teach us about what makes us uniquely humanUltimately, this is a conversation about trusting yourself enough to choose possibility over fear, and being willing to discover what life might have in store when you stop needing to control the outcome.Could trusting life change the way you live yours?Devon Kerns is a leadership coach, entrepreneur and advisor with 25 years of experience helping founders and leaders create businesses and lives with greater purpose, freedom and alignment.A firm believer that great leadership starts with leading yourself, Devon brings together business experience, personal development and deep inner work to help people move from force to flow, reconnect with what really matters and take inspired action.With more than 11,000 hours of leading, teaching, coaching and consulting, Devon has worked with everyone from entrepreneurs and executive leaders to Fortune 500 teams and nonprofit organisations.

What if the medicine most likely to change your life is one you've never even heard of?In this episode, we sit down with Patrick and Michelle Fishley, founders of Soul Reflections and longtime practitioners of Iboga, a rare, potent plant medicine from the jungles of Gabon that's quietly reshaping how people in the West understand healing, addiction, and the self.Both Patrick and Michelle started as nurses working inside the traditional healthcare system before an unexpected invitation pulled them into the world of Iboga, first through the isolated compound ibogaine, then into the full, ancient plant itself as taught by elders deep in the Gabonese jungle. What followed was over a decade of study, initiation, and return trips to Africa that transformed not just their careers, but who they are.In this conversation, we go deep into what makes Iboga so different from other plant medicines like ayahuasca or psilocybin: its intensity, its rarity, its 12-to-72-hour journeys, and why it's often called the Mount Everest of plant medicines.We talk about why it works on the mind, body, and spirit all at once, why reverence (not consumerism) is essential to using it safely, and why the elders who protect it are sounding the alarm on its growing commodification.But this episode is about more than one plant. It's about awareness without judgment, the discomfort we've engineered out of modern life, and what it means to remember, rather than fix, who we really are.Whether you're curious about plant medicine or have never considered it in your life, this conversation offers something for you: a deeper look at healing, nature, and the parts of ourselves we've forgotten how to hear.Patrick and Michelle Fishley are co-founders of Soul Reflections, the world's first Iboga/Ibogaine online community supporting practitioners, providers, and seekers alike through preparation, integration, and education.With a combined 45+ years of nursing experience in ICU, ER, trauma, and addictions care, they transitioned into Iboga/Ibogaine work over a decade ago and have since led over 1,500 treatments with a perfect safety record.Both are Bwiti-initiated Nganga (Healer/Seer), Patrick known as Dibadi, Michelle as Yakéta, trained directly by elders in Gabon, where they return annually to deepen their connection to the medicine's traditional roots.Connect with Patrick & Michelle:Website: soulreflections.netInstagram: @soulreflectionsibogaFacebook: Soul Reflections Iboga CommunityYouTube: @soulreflections-iboga

One breath. That's all it took to unravel everything Alexandre Tsuk thought he knew about himself.Dragged into a breathwork session he had zero interest in attending, Alex had no intention of participating, no belief it would work, and no plan to change.Then, in a single breath, he received a flash of clarity so total it exposed exactly what was broken in every relationship in his life, with his parents, his kids, his partner, and himself. He cried for an hour and a half. He didn't sleep for three days. And he never went back to who he was before.In this episode, Alex takes us through that moment and everything that followed: why he calls it "forced mindfulness," how conditioning and old stories keep us stuck long after we've outgrown them, and why holding your breath might be the simplest, most honest diagnostic tool you have for finding exactly where you're avoiding your own discomfort.We talk about why you can't force anyone else to change, why dropping judgment (of others and yourself) is the real work, how to build a nervous system that can handle anything, and why the goal was never happiness - it was becoming who you actually are.If you've ever felt like something in you is stuck but couldn't name it, this conversation might just show you exactly where to look - one breath at a time.Alexandre TsukAlex is a breathwork facilitator, trainer, and founder of BreathingCold, specialising in nervous system regulation, transformational breathwork, and conscious cold exposure.He creates safe, structured spaces where people can release chronic tension, integrate past experiences, and reconnect with their authentic selves.Born in France and now rooted in Bali and India, Alexandre found breathwork and cold exposure after facing his own depression and made it his mission ever since.Over 10+ years, he's guided 7,000+ people through transformation and trained nearly 600 facilitators now practising worldwide.He's also the founder of BGreener (200+ purpose-driven businesses) and RefillMyBottle (plastic waste reduction).His approach: create a field of trust where you can return to yourself , gently, fully, freely.Find out more and connect with Alex online:www.breathingcoldbali.com | @breathing_cold

Not because anything was wrong with the event or the people, but because she had changed.Together, we explore what happens when we recognise that we’ve reached the end of a chapter. We talk about the courage to let go without guilt, the beauty of moving on without burning bridges, and why personal growth often means choosing alignment over familiarity.We also discuss:Why outgrowing people, places and experiences is a natural part of life.The difference between chasing success and creating a life that genuinely brings you joy.Why smaller communities and deeper conversations can be more fulfilling than bigger opportunities.How to recognise when it’s time to gently close one door and make space for another.If you’ve been feeling like something in your life no longer fits, whether it’s a job, a community, a relationship or simply an old version of yourself, this conversation is a reminder that it’s okay to move on.Sometimes, “there’s nothing left for me here” isn’t a loss.It’s an invitation to discover what comes next.

For generations, we've been told that a happy life follows a familiar path: find a partner, get married, have children, and live happily ever after. But what happens when life looks different?In this deeply personal and honest conversation, we explore what it means to build a fulfilling life outside society's traditional expectations.We share their very different journeys with relationships, marriage, motherhood, childlessness, and being child-free by choice.Natalie opens up about the heartbreak of multiple miscarriages, the grief of letting go of the future she once imagined, and the societal pressures women face when they don't have children. Lenka shares why she's never wanted children and how she's found peace in the possibility of living a happy, meaningful life without a long-term romantic partner.Together, we discuss the stigma surrounding childlessness, the growing movement of women choosing not to have children, the freedom that comes from embracing your own path, and why your worth is never defined by your relationship status or whether you become a parent.This episode is a powerful reminder that there is no single blueprint for happiness, and that a life filled with purpose, love, connection, and contribution can take many different forms.If you've ever questioned society's expectations around marriage, motherhood, relationships, or what it means to live a meaningful life, this conversation is for you.Listen now and discover why being child-free, childless, or single doesn't mean living with less; it can mean living authentically, intentionally, and fully.

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t laziness, lack of discipline, or motivation, but something deeper happening beneath the surface?In this episode, together with Kam Knight, we explore the hidden force he calls “internal resistance”, the invisible mental and emotional friction that keeps people stuck, procrastinating, overthinking, and delaying the life they genuinely want.We unpack why knowing what to do is often not enough, how resistance disguises itself in subtle and self-sabotaging ways, and why even highly motivated people struggle to take action on the things that matter most.Kam shares practical insights into the psychology of resistance, the difference between your wants and the forces working against them, and the sneaky “tricks of resistance” that quietly keep people trapped in familiar patterns.This conversation is a powerful reminder that personal growth is not just about learning new strategies, it’s about understanding the inner battle happening every day inside your mind.If you’ve ever felt frustrated by procrastination, self-sabotage, inconsistency, or the gap between what you want and what you actually do, this episode will give you a completely new perspective.In this episode, we explore:Why motivation alone is not enoughThe hidden psychology behind procrastinationHow internal resistance keeps you stuckThe emotional cost of avoiding actionWhy self-awareness changes everythingThe subtle tricks your mind uses to stay comfortableHow to start moving towards the life you truly wantListen now to uncover the hidden resistance holding you back, and take the first step towards creating meaningful change in your life.Kam Knight is an author, coach, and speaker specialising in mental performance, motivation, and the psychology of internal resistance.After being laid off from his first job, he began exploring learning and memory techniques while preparing for the highly challenging CPA exam, eventually discovering tools like mind mapping and speed reading that transformed his approach to growth and performance. His work now focuses on helping people understand why they often struggle to follow through on goals despite having the motivation and desire to succeed, exploring the powerful relationship between wants, resistance, and the hidden “tricks of resistance” that keep people stuck.Website: https://kamknight.comSocial Media:https://instagram.com/ikamknighthttps://facebook.com/ikamknighthttps://youtube.com/@ikamknighthttps://linkedin.com/in/ikamknight/https://tiktok.com/@ikamknight
