For the first solo episode of season 2, I dive into the transformative practice of fasting and how it's impacted my own physical and mental health in recent years.

I share my personal journey; from experimenting with intermittent fasting to taking on a challenging 3-day fast this year inspired by both personal curiosity and high performance figures like Chris Hemsworth.

Through the lens' of my experience and examining the science, I attempt to tackle the big questions that challenge our whole belief system around eating:

Do we really need to eat three meals a day?

Can we slow down the ageing process by not eating breakfast?

Does eating less make you more present in everyday life?

Who knows, fasting may just be the ultimate game-changer for optimal, long-lasting good health...

In this special transition episode, I'm wrapping up Season 1 of The Wholesome Way and opening the door to a whole new chapter. Together, we'll look back at the conversations, breakthroughs, and themes that shaped the first season and how these lessons can help us build stronger inner foundations.

Season 2 is all about the body: 'Building Your Healthiest Form.' I'll be interviewing physical health advocates, uncovering practical tools for energy, longevity and strength, and sharing some of my own experiments along the way. New guests, new growth, with the same mission; to help you live a more wholesome life.

In this solo episode, I dive into the power of creativity as a tool for self-expression, growth, and joy. I reflect on my own childhood experiences, as well as lessons from people I admire like Dan Carlin and Ed Sheeran, to challenge the idea that creativity is something reserved only for the "gifted and talented."

For me, creativity is about unlearning limiting beliefs and reconnecting with that playful, curious spirit we all carry inside us. Whether it's through art, music, problem-solving, or simply the way we approach daily life, creativity has the power to light us up, bring us closer to others, and transform the way we see our place in this world.

This episode is an invitation to embrace your creative side; not as a luxury, but as a vital part of unlocking a life of ultimate potential and fulfilment.

In this special in-person episode recorded in London, I sit down with my life and career coach, Susanna Kenyon-Muir.

We talk about what it really means to let go of your fears, create space for creativity, and surrender to the fact that anything is possible if you really believe it. Susanna also unveils the role of clarity, intentions, and beliefs in shaping a life and career that truly feel aligned.

Her story is such a powerful reminder that when we make intentional choices and commit to our own personal growth, we can create a life that's not only successful but deeply fulfilling.

In this episode, I dive into the concept of self-reflection and the transformative impact it's had on my own life.

I explore the role journaling has played for me—not just as a creative outlet, but as a powerful tool for reducing stress, improving problem-solving, and levelling up in life.

Through my own journey of leaving a corporate job to follow a creative calling, I talk about the importance of gratitude and the art of letting go as part of self-discovery and transformation.

In this episode, I got on a call with one of my oldest friends, Tim Davey—creator of the Urban Monk YouTube channel—for an open, reflective conversation about his inner journey of self-mastery and spiritual awakening. We talk about the moment that first pulled Tim toward deeper questions of identity, consciousness, and what it really means to be.

Tim shares how his worldview began to shift as he embraced ancient wisdom in the midst of modern life, and how he's learned to navigate this path with curiosity, humility, and discipline. We explore the power of presence, the challenge of staying grounded (literally) in a noisy world, and the small but meaningful ways anyone can begin reconnecting with their true nature to find peace and happiness.

In this episode of The Wholesome Way, I'm joined by a former work buddy and mentor of mine, Will Wright—ultrarunner, tech professional, husband, father, and a true embodiment of mental, physical and spiritual resilience.

We explore the powerful turning point that led Will from a college lifestyle to a path of self-mastery, sparked by a family member's health scare.

Will opens up about how his spiritual foundation, fitness journey, and life as a dad and husband have reshaped his values and inner compass. From navigating "the wall" in ultramarathons to balancing family, work, and faith, Will shares honest reflections and lessons for anyone seeking growth, balance, and deeper meaning in life.

While recording Episode 1 Switching Off Your Mind's Autopilot, Alejandro and I took a deep dive down the rabbit hole of Social Media. And I decided that this particularly powerful part deserved its own episode...

In this bonus soundbite, cut from our first unedited conversation, Alejandro and I explore how social media has strayed from its original purpose of real human connection — and how we can consciously reframe and repurpose it to protect our peace of mind.

If you've ever felt the love-hate relationship with your social media apps, this short but mighty conversation is packed with relatable reflections and practical steps which just might be the key to keeping our social circles grounded and genuine in a hyper-connected, digital world.

In this special walk-and-talk episode of The Wholesome Way, I join my aunty, Justine Lobb - an inspiring entrepreneur with over three decades in the skincare industry - for a candid conversation about self-discovery as we stroll through the Welsh mountains.

Justine reveals the guiding pillars that have shaped her path and purpose as a martial artist, a surfer, a mother and a businesswoman, and shares honest insights into her life philosophy:

How trusting your gut could actually slow down the ageing process.

Why you should go out of your way to tell the barista when they make you a good coffee.

And how getting caught in a strong surf current taught Justine everything about who she was meant to be in this world.

This moving, grounded conversation about inner strength, presence, and learning from Mother Nature, is full of wisdom and warmth—and a few deep breaths of fresh mountain air.

In this solo episode of The Wholesome Way, I open up about something that's been on my mind lately—the connection between challenge and becoming your true self.

I share the story of a champion boxer who overcame immense setbacks and used adversity to rise even higher—reminding us that challenge can be the pathway to growth.

From stormy cadet nights on an Australian army range, a bold career move overseas, and climbing three mountains in one day, I also reflect on my own journey to tackle some of the big questions we face in life:

What does it really mean to leave your comfort zone?

How do you start challenging yourself intentionally?

And why does it matter?

If you've been feeling stuck in the same cycle or ready for growth, then have a listen because this one's for you!

To kick off the very first season of the podcast - 'Finding the REAL you' - I sat down with a good friend of mine Alejandro, to talk about mental health.

I have come to realise that we need to be 100% clear on our beliefs, values, and identity as a whole, if we want to find good health, personal growth and purpose in our lives.

And that all starts with our state of mind.

Are our thoughts about ourselves, and our past, present and future, leading us astray?

Are we desperately distracting ourselves to keep the internal monologue at bay?

Do we have control of our mind to take on the curveballs life throws?

In this episode, Alejandro takes us through his perspective and experience in promoting mental health as a coach and an academic, as we tackle the deep questions on everyone's mind:

What does it actually mean to have good mental health?

How does our mental state affect our overall health and purpose in life?

What sorts of techniques can we practise to take back real control of our mind and navigate this thing we call life?
