The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’.
The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life!
Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach.
If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone.
We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose.
Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide.
New episodes every Saturday.

Letting Go of the Past | How to Release Old Hurt, Resentment and Injustice | Tao Dialogues
vendredi 15 août 2025 • Durée 24:55
In this Tao Dialogues episode, David explores how to let go of the past.
Have you ever caught yourself replaying an old hurt, long after the moment has passed? Do you ever believe that holding onto the pain somehow holds others accountable? Or wonder if releasing your grip might let the world “get away” with what should never have happened?
These are the fundamental questions of letting go—not from the mind, but from the heart, especially our Inner Child, who still seeks justice, safety, and acknowledgement.
You'll discover how NOT letting go is not protection but a chain that weighs you down, and how acceptance, not approval or forgetting, cuts it clean...
Our Tao Dialogues are powerful yet gentle teachings about authenticity, spirituality and finding emotional balance and flow in everyday life. These spoken-word episodes draw from David James Lees’ practice as a Taoist monk and teacher, and expand upon popular posts on ‘David’s Journal’, his Substack blog.

vendredi 11 juillet 2025 • Durée 27:38
Have you created an emotional shield to protect yourself from pain and disappointment? Learn to understand and manage your emotional hypervigilance so you can open yourself up to life.
Many people are governed by their emotions, reacting to worst-case scenarios and future-proofing against upset, which can lead to overthinking, hypervigilance, and a striving for perfection and control. We end up creating a prison of protection which impacts our life and relationships. In this episode, we explore why we do this and share steps to dismantle these emotional barriers for more meaningful connections.
