Episode 189: Energy Levels

01.09.2020 Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls

With some enthusiasm we can go from dragging our feet and saying how tired we are to suddenly being alert and awake.

Episode 181: The Foundations Of Confidence

01.04.2020 Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls

Episode 177: Accept Yourself

01.01.2020 Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls

Despite New Year being a time associated with making changes, today I want to talk about what seems at first like the opposite of change.
Although it might still be a change, and might even be the best one you could ever make. Because there are surprising benefits that come from accepting yourself as you are, in making the decision to not changing and instead enjoying being you in the first place.

Episode 176: The Meaning Of Life

01.12.2019 Filed in: Podcast written by: Richard Nicholls

Apart from 42, is there actually an answer to "What is the meaning of life?"
