053 | Unfolding Your Journey w/ Amanda Ward

Episode 53

Monday, October 12, 2026 • Duration 01:20:31

Ever felt like you’re discovering versions of yourself you never knew existed?

This week on Life Is Sound, Amanda Ward joins James for an open conversation about self-worth, navigating change, spirituality and learning to meet yourself where you are.

From journalling and time in nature to sound baths and everyday rituals, they explore the practices that can become anchors when life feels overwhelming, and what can happen when we stop living by all the things we think we “should” be doing.

Amanda shares her own experiences of change, feeling stuck and finding her way forward, while James reflects on how our relationship with ourselves can evolve as life does.

A conversation about growth without perfection, spirituality without prescription, and creating space to hear what you might actually need.

🎧 Listen now and let us know what stayed with you.

052 - Do the Hard Thing on Purpose w/ Kay Lou

Episode 52

Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 01:34:04

A panic attack on an ordinary night can expose what “busy and fine” has been hiding for years. Kay takes us back to the moment her breath disappeared, then walks us through how that shock became a turning point: learning breathwork properly, understanding the nervous system, and choosing to become the person who can guide others through panic, stress and overwhelm with calm and skill.

But this conversation goes far beyond breathwork. Kay shares what it took to leave the security of employment and back herself, the moment she knew it was time to jump, and why sometimes you have to choose to do the hard thing on purpose. We talk about self-sabotage, knowing your worth, learning to say no and protecting your own energy when your work is centred around helping other people.

We also explore Kay’s journey into cold water therapy, including an early experience that showed her how badly things can go when people follow wellness trends without the right knowledge or safety standards. It ultimately became part of the reason she created Kalu Academy, training others to deliver cold water experiences safely, mindfully and responsibly.

And we get into a side of the wellness world that isn’t always easy to talk about: money. Can you genuinely want to help people and still build a profitable business? How do you put a price on something you care deeply about? And at what point does undervaluing yourself actually stop you from making the impact you set out to make?

This is a conversation about what can happen when life forces you to stop, listen and make a change. About backing yourself before you feel completely ready, building something with purpose, and recognising that the moments that shake us can sometimes be where everything begins.

051 - What Is a Sound Bath? w/ James Mayer

Episode 51

Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 56:56

What actually is a sound bath, and why can something so simple have such a powerful effect? In this solo episode, I take you inside the Life Is Sound experience, from the instruments and spaces to what happens when we finally give ourselves permission to switch off. I share some of the moments and conversations that have stayed with me after welcoming nearly 3,500 people into these sessions, and explore why, in a world of constant noise, notifications and stimulation, finding stillness might be more important than ever.

If this resonates, follow the podcast, share it with someone who needs a little more calm in their life, and leave a review so more people can find Life Is Sound. When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to switch off?

050 - Life Begins At 40 w/ James Mayer

Episode 50

Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 28:39

Episode 50 lands with a double milestone: I’ve just turned 40, and the birthday brought up more than candles and cake. It’s pride in how far I’ve come, sadness for what I carried in my twenties and thirties, and a surprising calm that follows the chaos. If you’ve ever hit a big age and felt both grateful and uneasy, this one will meet you there with honesty and heart.

If this resonates, follow the podcast, share it with someone who’s in a season of change, and leave a review so more people can find Life Is Sound. What’s the one thing you’re ready to stop putting off?

049 - The Strange Business of Being Spiritual w/ James Mayer

Episode 49

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 25:35

In this episode of Life Is Sound, I explore what I’m beginning to notice within the world of spirituality and wellness, and why I think the industry could be entering a period of real change.

In this episode, I explore the shift I’m seeing within the wellness world, from practitioners calling each other out and questionable marketing tactics to spiritual identities, authenticity and the growing number of people speaking out from within these communities.

048 - How To Break The Anxiety Habit And Find Calm w/ Maureen Fearon

Episode 48

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 01:01:47

Anxiety doesn’t just appear, it often becomes something we practise, repeat, and then call “me”. We go straight at that idea with a question that sounds almost rude until you sit with it: would you like to not do anxious?

We unpack what we’ve both been seeing more and more, from children carrying heavy worry to adults who feel like their mind never stops. Together, we explore how the language of anxiety has become everyday talk, and why that can quietly lock it into your identity. We also step into the tricky truth that anxiety can bring “benefits” such as attention, lowered responsibility, or an escape route at work, and how that keeps people stuck in cause and effect thinking and the victim state.

047 - How Meditation Changed My Life w/ Dali

Episode 47

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 01:46:54

What happens when you stop searching for more and start paying closer attention to what is already here?

In this conversation, Dali shares his journey through meditation, community, grief, personal growth, and the moments that quietly reshape the way we see ourselves and the world around us. Together, we explore why stillness can be one of life’s greatest teachers, how meaningful connection can exist in unexpected places, and what it really means to cultivate a more conscious way of living.

This is a conversation about slowing down, embracing the unknown, and discovering that transformation rarely arrives all at once. Instead, it unfolds through the small, consistent choices that bring us back to ourselves.

045 - The Man Who Ran the Length of India w/ Jack Faint

Episode 45

Monday, June 22, 2026 • Duration 01:18:04

What does it take to become the first man to run the entire length of India?

In this episode, James sits down with Jack Faint to explore the physical, emotional and spiritual journey behind an extraordinary feat of endurance.

Jack shares what it took to run across the length of India, the moments that pushed him beyond his limits, and what the experience taught him about discipline, solitude, connection and the mind.

The conversation also explores the experiences that shaped him before the run, including insecurity, a brain tumour diagnosis in his twenties, ultra-marathons, meditation, breathwork and sound healing.

Together, James and Jack speak openly about masculinity, vulnerability, loneliness, adversity and the search for peace in a world that rarely slows down.

This is a conversation about far more than running. It is about what happens when achievement strips everything back and forces you to meet yourself.

044 - Two Years On: Sound Baths, Life Changes and Finding Calm w/ Maureen Fearon

Episode 44

Monday, June 8, 2026 • Duration 01:30:26

Welcome back to Life Is Sound.

After two and a half years away from the podcast, we return with a reflective, honest and heart-warming conversation with Maureen Fearon, the very first guest on the show and someone who has been part of the Life Is Sound journey from the beginning.

In this episode, we catch up on everything that has changed since our last conversation, from the growth of the sound baths and the power of community, to personal growth, new beginnings, resilience and navigating the unexpected moments life brings.

Together, we explore what it means to hold space for others, the transformative nature of sound healing, and why investing in your own wellbeing matters more than ever. Maureen shares her wisdom on mindset, acceptance, everyday resilience and the lessons that come when life asks us to slow down, listen and adapt.

Whether you have been here since the early episodes or you are discovering Life Is Sound for the first time, this conversation marks the beginning of a new chapter. Honest, uplifting and deeply human.

Life Is Sound is back.
