Beyond Turning Points – Détails, épisodes et analyse

What if the most important turning point in life is learning to move from autopilot to conscious choice?

In this episode of Beyond Turning Points, Ash Perrow sits down with psychologist, musician, skateboarder and creator of the Breadcrumbs and Alarm Clocks framework, Adam Walker.

Adam shares the turning points that shaped his life, from spending much of infancy in hospital and witnessing his grandfather die suddenly as a child, through to discovering skateboarding, coding and music as powerful pathways to agency, creativity and self-discovery.

Together, Ash and Adam explore sovereignty, nervous systems, parts work, ADHD, creativity, parenting and the difference between living on autopilot and consciously choosing your path.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple but profound question:

How do we move from autopilot into sovereignty?

• The early experiences that shaped Adam’s nervous system
• Witnessing his grandfather’s death at three years old
• Discovering skateboarding, coding and music as pathways to growth
• What sovereignty really means
• Moving beyond autopilot
• Internal Family Systems and parts work
• Why anxiety is often multiple signals happening at once
• Adam’s research exploring skateboarding and ADHD
• Creativity, pattern recognition and nervous system regulation
• Why creative practices can support children with ADHD
• Walking away from an abusive environment and reclaiming personal power
• The lessons Kung Fu and meditation taught him about resilience
• Parenting, presence and what matters most
• The turning point Adam is living through right now

Beyond Turning Points explores the pivotal moments that shape our lives and, more importantly, what happens afterwards.

Each episode explores the choices, insights, healing, courage and transformations that emerge after life’s defining moments, offering practical wisdom listeners can apply in their own lives.

Kyran O’Donnell is a proud Barkindji man with a powerful and deeply human story.

Many people know Kyran through  The Brother Boys where humour, brotherhood and positivity have helped him build a community of millions online.

But beneath the comedy is a much deeper journey.

In this episode of Beyond Turning Points, Kyran speaks openly about being removed from family as a child, violence, resilience, identity, survival and the moment he began reconnecting to country and to himself.

What unfolds is not just a conversation about Indigenous Australia.

It becomes a conversation about listening.

Listening to country.

Listening to yourself.

Listening beyond the noise of modern life.

At one point, Kyran shares:

“I thought I knew who I was until I started listening again.”

Together, Ash and Kyran explore:

• Barkindji country and the significance of the Darling River
• Growing up during the 90s and early 2000s in Australia
• Being removed from his family
• Colonisation and the disconnection many people experience from themselves and the land
• Violence, masculinity and the search for identity
• The warrior spirit within Aboriginal culture
• Nature, intuition and connection to country
• Spiritual experiences and inner knowing
• Why many Australians are beginning to reconnect with country in a deeper way
• Social media, leadership and using platforms to create unity and understanding

This is a yarn about identity, country, healing and what can happen when people begin listening differently to life.

“When I’m on stage, I just want people to feel like they can take their armour off. Like maybe there’s nothing wrong here after all.” – Trilla

This conversation touches everything — voice, grief, healing, truth and coming home.

In this episode of Beyond Turning Points, I sit down with dear friend and gifted artist Trilla for a deep and honest exploration of creativity, sound and self-connection. We talk about her journey through chronic pain, emotional numbness, and personal transformation, and how music has been both her medicine and her mirror.

We also explore:

•Slowing down as a spiritual and nervous system practice

•Singing as a portal to presence and resonance

•Trauma, sobriety and the courage to face yourself

•The role of ceremony, plant medicine and post-ceremonial integration

•Building community through choirs, mentoring and sacred spaces

•The power of leading with vulnerability — even on stage

In this episode, I sit down with teacher and guide Michael Atma to explore what it means to stop searching externally and start reconnecting with deep wisdom.

From navigating 27 career paths and financial collapse to discovering the life-changing power of meditation, Michael shares stories that are both relatable and deeply insightful. 

This is a far-reaching conversation about identity, ego, emotional healing and the kind of quiet strength that emerges when we learn to listen differently.

We explore:

• Early childhood imprints and how they shape our patterns
• What martial arts taught Michael about presence and courage
• The first meditation that rewired his nervous system
• Meeting an ascended master – and what shifted afterward
• Why silence is essential for integration
• The difference between fake confidence and embodied calm
• Grieving deeply – and why he wouldn’t trade it for anything

Michael reminds us that profound transformation doesn’t require perfection. It asks for presence.

In this episode, Ash unpacks The 6 Stages of Shedding Identity – a practical yet soulful process for anyone who feels the pull to evolve, shift, or step more fully into their true self.

Through personal stories and client insights, you’ll discover how ego disguises itself, why letting go feels so hard, why relapse is actually normal, and what it really takes to reach “escape velocity” and live aligned with your heart.

This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level change. It’s about understanding the deeper process of identity transformation – and learning how to back yourself even when doubt, fear, or old structures try to pull you back.

⸻

What You’ll Learn
•Why awareness is the spark that begins every change
•How the ego works subtly to keep you tied to old identities
•The holographic nature of life – why shedding in one area ripples across others
•Why relapse is normal in behaviour change and how to meet it with compassion
•How to listen to your humanness without obeying it
•What it takes to break free and live as your true self
