Finding Meaning and Masculinity with Ben Bidwell

Explicit content warning

02/19/24 • 74 min

Hello hello you gorgeous human being!
I am so excited for you to hear this episode. I am speaking with my friend Ben Bidwell. If you don’t know Ben, he is a human potential coach and a breath work facilitator.
As you may expect this conversation runs SO deep, so much that in parts I had full body tingles.
I adore being able to chat with a guy about all things masculinity from a really beautifully soft and open and vulnerable perspective. And let me tell you, Ben is practising vulnerability and authenticity in a way that feels so enriching and fulfilling to witness.
So, without further ado...let’s get to it.
A reminder that you can get my book, Infinite Receiving, here.
Quotes
"So if I'm constantly chasing happiness, then where am I going to get to. I'm fighting against the natural tide of this world."
"When we're talking about love, I don't want to rationally understand it."
"We are set up in a world that doesn't make it easy to live in."
Highlights
07:18 And there's better girls, there's better parties, and I can now travel more, and it's all better until I've reached a point where it was like, I'm. What now? Is that it? Am I just highly ambitious? Do I need more girls, more travel, better parties? Because this is kind of running a bit boring now.
42:30 I want us to experience life, not do life, experience it. And we do so little of the experiencing now.
46:06 I know this is obvious to us all, but I don't seek any kind of perfection. And I certainly don't seek any kind of perfection in the relationship. What I do want to be able to do is to talk about it, to be soft enough, to be vulnerable enough, to be open enough, to be able to have conversations rather than reactive to those things. And that's all I ask for.

5 Tips For Writing & Launching A Legacy Book

Hello hello darling one! I am coming to you just after my 2nd book launch week. Yes me, Suzy Ashworth, is now a 2 times published author - whoop!
And when I look back, I can't believe that it was only last week, because there are so many stories I could tell you about how I was feeling, what I did, what my experience was like. It's just wild.
I feel really deeply proud that my work is now out in the world, not just once, but twice. It feels just super incredible and today I am sharing how I have felt and also 5 juicy tips for you to use when you write YOUR book, and although they are about writing a book, actually you can apply them to really any content you create.
You can get your copy of Infinite Receiving right here.
Enjoy!Quotes:

"It gets to be so much fun when we change the energy to something which is abundance lead, as opposed to result led."
"Your chapter one should be juicy."
"When it comes to manifesting, I learned very early on in my co creation career that we always want to have a goal beyond the goal."

Highlights:

7.44 And so my viewpoint was, Suzy, if you are the only person who ever reads this book, but you understand, and you master living from the pillar of infinite love, you master living from the pillar of infinite greatness, you master living from the pillar of infinite support, and you master living from embodying infinite conscious co-creation, you will change thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of lives.
15.54 Can I treat every opportunity as just a seed? The reason that's so powerful is it detaches me from needing to experience the result in real time in order to feel complete, in order to feel like this is worth it.
5.33 So if you followed along when I was writing, you will have heard me have several existential crises, like, I don't think it's good enough. I don't know what the heck I'm doing. We have to rewrite this. We need to start this again. Even when I recorded the audiobook, I was like, it's not good enough. And how I moved through all of those moments was to remember one thing. I was writing this book with one person in mind.

Quotes
"I'm tired of hearing myself moaning about it. I'm just going to do this differently. And from that decision, when there is enough intention behind it, guess what? You do. "
"It feels exciting to listen to the version of me who has created what it is that I desire to create."
"I speak my goals and desires into existence every single day. "

Highlights
05:45 First thing, put yourself in environments with people who are really lit up, with people who are super excited about what it is they are creating, with people who are actually doing things and allow their excitement to rub off on you, energy is contagious.
08:28 And when you're able to detangle your own intrinsic value from your external value and your leverageable value, the money that you have in your bank account, you stop being jealous and stop being envious.
12:26 I love learning new things. You want to learn something new, then you want to implement. This does not work if you do not implement.
