Life is a journey of peaks and troughs, mayhem and magic, laughter and tears, breakups, breakdowns and breakthroughs. And in the middle of it all is you. And me. LIFE is a daily podcast about all that. Six to ten minutes exploring one life-shaping idea, topic, question, problem and/or solution that (with some work from you) might change your life for the better. Enjoy.
Launching Wednesday 15 March 2023!
There are hundreds of variables and factors which influence the likelihood of someone succeeding (or failing) and creating lasting change (or not). But there's one key reason why so many people don't achieve what they set out to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This two-parter is me banging on about the intersection of our internal and external worlds. Physical and non-physical. Seen and unseen. I don't often say this, but I think many of you will find this message helpful, relevant and maybe even, life-changing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning I had a conversation with 102 year-old Dr. Gladys McGarey and I totally loved it. That got me to thinking about the power and potential of conversations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's organic, spontaneous, freestyle, heart-led, instinctive, intuitive and creative you (and me).. and then there's strategic, logical, left-brain, process-driven, box-ticking, goal-setting, analytical you (and me). Is there some kind of organic-strategic formula or ratio that we need to know? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes the thing you want isn't really the thing you need. Sometimes you get 'there' (your goal destination) only to realise... "hey, this ain't it." See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes, all we want is the thing we don't have any more. The thing we didn't appreciate, when we had it. It's amazing how much our perspective can shift when something we take for granted, is taken away from us (or could be taken away). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this two-part conversation, I share some powerful questions (designed to improve self-awareness) that I've been asking myself and others, for years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Why on earth would I suggest that? Am I being literal or metaphoric? Have a listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
My mum's been crook. This episode is me thinking out loud about the last 48 hours of my life. It might be boring. Feel free to skip it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There's a lot of Scammy McScamsters out there. People pretending that they're not pretending. Hilarious. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Some people are thinking themselves into old-age before their time. And some 'old* people are f**king weapons. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Nearly all of us suffer from delusions of inadequacy. Self-doubt. Imposter syndrome. Feeling like a fraud. It's not a weaknesses or flaw but rather, an inevitability of the human experience. So, what to do? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More than likely, some of what you currently believe to be true... isn't. Or maybe, it's partly true. Sadly, many of us hold on (for dear life) to beliefs that (1) are flawed (2) we didn't really choose (3) are self-limiting psychological anchors and (4) stand between us and our potential. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Creating healthy rituals which are aligned with who and how we want to be, and are reflective of our goals, values and passion, is an important component of the personal growth journey. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Your hill will be your greatest teacher, if you let it be. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Being the 'glass half full' person is not about being delusional or pretending things are great when they’re not, it's about being practical, realistic and responding in the best possible way, despite the mess, mayhem and chaos. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This episode is not about actual victims (people who have actually been victimised by a person, group, organisation or religion). No, this is about people who live in a victim mindset, invent problems out of thin air, seek attention, are perpetually angry at everyone and are 'never at fault'. And yes, this episode will probably p*ss someone off. Of course. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We spend a great deal of our lives working. It's probably a good idea to not hate it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If only I had 25 hours in a day, I'd be successful. I'm not the problem; time is. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ironically, sometimes being naturally gifted is a handicap and sometimes being innately mediocre, is a gift. Tune in and I'lI tell you why. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sometimes we simply can't be f**ked. For a range of reasons, we're not 'feeling' it, we're not in the zone, and motivation and inspiration are nowhere to be seen. Or felt. But... is it possible to be productive, proactive and effective in the middle of our 'can't-be-fucked-ness"? The answer is yes. It's not common, but it's possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Just before I recorded this impromptu, completely unscripted episode, I had some sh*t go wrong and if I'm being honest, my response was less than optimal. I didn't walk my own talk. Clearly, I have a way to go! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
When it comes to personal transformation, some people are great at the theory, the idea and the intention but somewhat sh*t at the execution. Always talking, never doing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Let’s be honest, some ‘friends’ are really just people we know. In fact, some of them are the opposite of kind, caring and loving towards us. So, not friends at all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Our time and energy are not infinite resources and it's in our interest to consciously optimise them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Some people are obsessed with being perpetually comfortable. Which is why so many companies can exploit the collective desire for comfort and convenience. In a world of mess, madness and mayhem, the obsession with comfort is a self-limiting mindset. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Craig explores the concept of ‘a good life’. We all want one but how do we define it, design it, build it and inhabit it? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this two-part chat, Craig explores the concept of training our mind for better performance and outcomes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
