This Humean Life with The Philosophical Coach

What is in the way of people experiencing fulfilment even when they have some measure of being successful?

This is the guiding question of today's conversation with Chris Jackson. Chris is the Co-Owner of Kinetic Life. He shines a light on his clients' career path by being the project manager in their lives. He brings his expertise as an athlete to orient his practice around the question 'What does it take to win the championship of your own life?

We explore three ways in which fulfilment is missing even in spite of people experiencing some measure of being successful. 

• What we see is missing is at its core clarity, clarity about who we need to be to experience fulfilment. 
• We explore the tension between being addicted to success and letting go of your edge. The edge both drives people to produce extraordinary results and it can be in tension with experiencing fulfilment, due to a lack of love and belonging. 
• We end by going deeper into how the cliche of unconditional love has created a converse reality which leads to people so frequently missing fulfilment regardless of their success in other areas.
  

This episode is also filled with key takeaways in the form of sports analogies. Here's a few to look out for if you are as sports crazed as Chris and I.

We look at: 

• the 4 quarter championship strategy. 
• the importance of discarding your BRULE filled rulebook filled with a playbook.
•  the relevance of your offensive and defensive line, as well as home base for a holistic vision of success.

In a world where we generally don’t like being told what to do, we rely on algorithms to ironically tell us what to do.

Why?

Because we want certainty so bad that we will seek it any cost.

What is that cost? This is what Jon Dallas and I look at in the second of this two part series on Building Community and Combating Social Polarisation through Real Talk.

Jon is an "effective activist" combating political and social polarization. He is a TEDx speaker and Founder of Real Talk Philosophy, a social philosophy events organization aiming to combat polarization with community explorations of divisive social issues, from polyamory to immigration. 

In part two of the series we dive into our desire for certainty, and why binary thinking tends to fuel more anger, violence, and rage within society across divisive issues from politics, religion, veganism, sexual orientation. And we look at how Real Talk is combating both the tendency to see complex issues in black and white but also the suffering that this is perpetuating.

This podcast is all about questioning what we know, and seeing where knowing gets in the way. One area that many of us limit ourselves is in the realm of leadership. We question whether we have what it takes to be leaders, effective leaders or bring our vision to reality. I have created a course to combat this it is called Creating Powerful Leaders. It is not about leadership theory or the concept of leadership, that will make little to no difference in your leadership. Instead, the course is about unlearning what is in the way of being a leader in all areas of life.

Whether you are a business owner, a creative, or any other profession it is likely you can relate to this experience.

You are either excited to start something and then you seem to pull the handbrake. Or even when you have brought your vision to reality you have stopped yourself from really sharing it with the world.

In those moments it's like you are no longer in control and your brain has taken over and told you to sit in the backseat.

It is this relatable experience which I coach Angie from the hit podcast Too Old for This Shit around. Her show made the charts in the comedy genre in the USA, Canada, Belgium, Taiwan within a few weeks of going live, then India a few months in, and more recently Denmark. Ireland, GB, Switzerland & New Zealand in 2021.

Angie is not only a podcaster she is also a podcasting mentor. She creates workshops for people who want to get into podcasting but get stopped by fear around how to go about it and dealing with all the tech. And whilst her workshops are successful, there are a set of beliefs that lie in the background for her which are limiting what success can look like. And especially whether she can ever give up the 9 to 5. It is these background beliefs which are the focus of our conversation as Angie looks authentically at what is in the way of her being more in the moment and carefree.

As you listen, I invite you to look and see whether anything comes up for you about where you may be pulling the handbrake in your life.

If you are someone who sees or feels like they are limiting what's possible for them, and you have a big vision of what you want to create, then I invite you to check out my Leadership Masterclass. This is available for a limited time: https://workshop.thephilosophicalcoach.com/

Today Jay Shifman and I are peeling back how we understand mental health.

Jay Shifman is a vulnerable storyteller and stigma-destroying speaker, podcaster, and event host, Jay’s story of struggle is familiar to the millions of people the world over who also struggle with issues of mental health, substance misuse, and addiction. The survivor of two suicide attempts and an overdose and is now in long-term recovery. 

It is Jay’s mission to encourage difficult conversations and honest education concerning these and similar struggles. And since 2015 his company Choose Your Struggle has been working on two distinct goals; ending stigma and ensuring that those who struggle receive the help they deserve.

In this episode we do not hold back, we look at: anxiety, bipolar, the danger of mental health labels, misdiagnoses, suicide, OCD, ADHD.

We look, when it comes to mental health, at the importance of destigmatisation, what we can do differently and where there is a case for optimism, especially in the UK thanks to the ripple effect of the work of companies like Sanctus.

Thanks so much for listening. Please leave a review on Apple podcasts to help more listeners discover this show.

Have you ever described yourself as anxious? Have you ever said 'I am depressed'? Have you ever described your mental health as poor? If you answer 'yes' to any of these questions you are definitely going to want to listen closely. And even if you haven't answered 'yes' this episode is likely to give you access to better understand what is really impacting your loved one's mental health. In this episode, I explain why the language we use has the biggest impact on our experience of mental health. I explore how our perception of reality impacts our perception of mental health. I consider whether the standard medical approach to mental health is really serving us, whether labelling something as a 'disorder' is harmful, and I explore how to overcome depression and anxiety. The intention is that you are left clearer on how you can create power around your experience of mental health.
If you would like to shift from mental health being disempowering to experiencing an abundance of joy, fulfilment and ease, then I invite you to check out Creating a Joyful Life.
