Most ‘team issues’ aren’t personal. They’re systemic.

Each week, I’ll share short, powerful episodes blending real psychology, lived experience, and the clarity we all crave in a world that rarely slows down. 🎙 Episode 1 is now live: When Anxiety Meets AI 7 minutes | Now streaming on Spotify & YouTube More and more, I hear this from clients and colleagues alike: “When I feel overwhelmed, I ask ChatGPT.” “It helps me calm down.” And yes — AI is a powerful tool. ✅ It helps us write clearer emails. ✅ Organise our ideas. ✅ Make faster decisions. But when we start using it to manage emotional discomfort — to soothe anxiety or find instant certainty — we cross an invisible line. It feels like clarity. But it’s actually compulsion. We’re not solving problems. We’re outsourcing discomfort. In this 7-minute episode, I unpack: ✔️ Why ChatGPT may be worse than Google for anxious professionals ✔️ How anxiety hides behind “being thorough” ✔️ What to do instead when your brain demands immediate answers This podcast is especially for: ✨ Professionals, leaders, and thinkers who feel calm on the outside — but overwhelmed within ✨ People who want real insight, not generic advice ✨ Those ready to grow a mind that doesn’t just cope… but thrives 🎧 Listen on Spotify: Click here 📺 Watch on YouTube: Click here New episodes every week. Short. Insightful. Evidence-based. For those who are done with surface-level fixes — and ready for real growth. If this speaks to you, please share it with your team… or with the overthinker inside your own head. 🧠 High performance isn’t the opposite of anxiety. Sometimes, it’s built on top of it. In my work, I’ve seen how often leaders carry invisible pressure — managing companies, teams, and expectations — while quietly ignoring the cost to their own minds. This video is for the ones who look like they have it all together... but can’t remember the last time they felt okay. Watch, reflect, breathe. (Then maybe save it — for the next time your brain starts sprinting at 2am.)  Wе аll lаugh! Wе laugh аt work, at hоmе, with frіеndѕ. But dо wе lаugh at lеаѕt 5-10 minutes every day?
Gеnеrаllу, we dоn’t rеаllу thіnk about laughing a lоt. It's juѕt something thаt соmеѕ nаturаllу whеn wе hаvе fun wіth frіеndѕ or whеn a соllеаguе makes a jоkе or еvеn whеn wе rеаd something funnу. Lаughter саn brіng реорlе together and establish amazing connections. But how muсh аttеntіоn dо wе рау tо lаughtеr? Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud believed that the interpretation of dreams was the “Royal Road to the unconscious.” In examining the content of dreams, Freud developed a number of theories. Amongst these was the interpretation of subconscious thought and how this was expressed in a symbolic language in dreams to avoid the potentially disturbing or harmful content of the unconscious mind.
In his work, Freud categorised the mind into three main parts: · The Id – which holds all desires, unchecked urges and the fulfilment of wishes; · The Ego – this is interpreted as the conscious mind; · The Superego – this exists to maintain censorship over the Id. During wake time, the Superego functions to control the Id and to keep in check the impulses and desires it develops. In this way, the Superego could be seen as the ‘conscience’ of the mind. Conversely, during sleep periods and through the function of dreaming, one can be aware of the unconscious mind, the Id. Because dreams exist without the normal state of consciousness and conscience, the Id has the opportunity to push all hidden desires to the fore. However, such raw and unchecked desires can be so psychologically virulent that a ‘censor’ is employed by the mind to translate the Id’s values into a more acceptable form of symbolism. This self-induced protection functions to preserve the quality of sleep and prevent adverse reaction to uncontrolled dream imagery. Resultant, cryptic and confusing dreams can occur. Therefore, if the dream itself can be understood more clearly this could lead to better understanding of the subconscious mind. Fundamentally, Freud believed that dreams constituted “the fulfilment of a wish.” He further proposed that dreams were comprised of two parts: The GROW model is an incredibly simple, yet incredibly effective model for achieving your goals in life and work.
