  1. Episode 47 - Beyond Tough Leadership - What Actually Helps in High-Pressure Moments

    Episode 47 - Beyond Tough Leadership - What Actually Helps in High-Pressure Moments

    I still forget and catch myself closing - contracting around a situation rather than meeting it with presence. The Point isn’t something I’ve mastered, it’s something I keep returning to. In this episode I share how The Point shows up in the middle of real life:  the pressure to be consistent with this podcast, chaotic school run mornings with two teenage boys, and what actually helps when someone’s already stressed and gets shouted at for being late.I also look at the suggestion that kindness makes you a weak leader - and why I think that misses something fundamental.  Real kindness isn’t softness or people-pleasing. From presence, you can be kind and direct, kind and let someone go, kind and say no. It’s not a strategy. It’s what naturally comes when you’re not operating from self-protection, or the need to be seen a certain way - when you’re simply responding to what’s actually here. The challenges don’t disappear. But how we meet them changes everything. 🎙️ New to The Point?

    Episode 46 - The AI Opportunity - Seeing What’s Here When We’re Free

    In this episode of The Spirit of Enquiry, I explore AI - not from a “good or bad” perspective, but as an invitation to notice how we meet uncertainty itself. Like many people, I’ve felt a subtle sense of concern about AI - particularly around work, jobs, and the pace of change. But as I noticed my own moment of contraction and threat-based thinking, I realised this is the same human pattern that shows up whenever we encounter something uncertain or thats seems uncontrollable. This episode is an exploration of what becomes available when we slow down, open, and step out of fear-based mental management - and how AI may actually be pointing us back to what is uniquely human. Rather than trying to outthink or compete with machines, I invite you to consider what AI can’t do: be present, feel connection, access inner intelligence, and respond wisely in the moment. We look at how fear narrows perspective, how the mind’s “operating system” goes into autopilot, and why continuous optimisation has diminishing returns - both individually and collectively. This conversation isn’t about bypassing real concerns or pretending change isn’t happening. It’s about staying open and curious in the face of disruption, and recognising that fear and tension are signals - not the whole truth. AI may be advancing regardless, but how we meet that change makes all the difference. In this episode, we explore: • Why AI often triggers fear and threat-based thinking • What happens when the mind contracts around uncertainty • The “spotlight of attention” and the operating system of the mind • Why mental management can’t solve everything • AI as a possible invitation away from over-optimisation • The difference between the map and the territory • What remains irreplaceable about being human • How presence, curiosity, and openness create wiser responses • Why fear and stress are information, not the whole truth If you’d like to explore this work more deeply, my book The Point of Now expands on these ideas, and how we meet uncertainty without being limited by fear.  And if you have questions or reflections, I’d love to hear from you - you’re welcome to reach out and continue the conversation: 📩 Email me directly at: info@sychangecoach.com

  3. Episode 45 - The Truth About The Words You Use (And Why They Don’t Mean What You Think) - A Pre-Christmas Invitation

    12/19/2025

    Episode 45 - The Truth About The Words You Use (And Why They Don’t Mean What You Think) - A Pre-Christmas Invitation

    In this episode, we explore the paradox of language - how the words you speak to yourself (and others) create real physical changes in the body, and yet how they also don’t have inherent meaning. Discover: - Harvard Medical School research showing how self-talk reduces inflammation and changes your nervous system - Why the placebo effect proves words can be more powerful than drugs - The difference between positive affirmations (another technique to try) and recognition (noticing what’s actually here) - How “should” language creates stress and pressure - A practical invitation for the holiday season: notice the expectations you’re carrying about Christmas The invitation isn’t to control your self-talk - it’s to notice it, feel its effect, and return to present moment awareness. To allow what is rather than fight it with words. Your body hears everything your mind says. Perfect for anyone struggling with inner criticism, holiday stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or looking to understand the mind-body connection, nervous system regulation, and presence. Wishing you presence, ease and joy this Christmas (and in each moment!) Thanks for listening. Please subscribe to the show and a rating or review would be much appreciated if you enjoy it.

  4. Episode 44 - Traffic Lights for the Mind - Navigating Overwhelm with this Simple Metaphor

    Episode 44 - Traffic Lights for the Mind - Navigating Overwhelm with this Simple Metaphor

    In this episode, I share a simple but powerful metaphor from Chapter 11 of my book - Traffic Lights for the Mind. We all know traffic lights. We see them every day, and they can become your reminder to drop out of mental overwhelm and back into present moment awareness. The three lights as a practical navigation system: - Red Light (STOP)- Recognising when you’re caught in the speeding mind - Yellow Light (WAIT)- The pause where conscious, mindful moments become possible - Green Light (GO)- Operating from the quieter, clearer space of present moment awareness When you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed during your day, the traffic lights offer an immediate way back to what’s actually here right now. Not another technique to master, but a simple visual reminder that’s already everywhere around you. This isn’t about controlling your thoughts or forcing yourself to be calm. It’s about recognising what’s happening and allowing your system to naturally downshift from reactive mode to responsive presence. Your real excellence doesn’t live in multitasking or managing everything at once - it lives in the full presence you bring to whatever’s right in front of you. When you operate from present moment awareness rather than scattered thinking, you naturally access clarity, better decisions, and more effective action. Let traffic lights be your reminder this week. When you’re at a red light (physically or mentally) feeling rushed or tense, notice that’s your cue - pause, breathe, and feel into what’s here in this precise moment. Life is just this one breath, one step at a time. Let’s slow down to now. If you enjoy this episode, please let me know, or share it with someone who might benefit from listening. If you leave a review it really helps the show be shown to others too. Thanks for listening.

    Episode 41 - The Gift of Direct Inquiry: Effortless Living & Being with Brigitte van Tuijl

    What if business and life could unfold effortlessly - not as something you create, but as something you simply allow?  In this conversation, I sit down with Brigette van Tuijl, who works with women entrepreneurs tired of the endless cycle of self-improvement and the pressure to constantly “be on.” Brigette shares her journey from believing she had to make everything happen - to discovering that life already flows beautifully when we stop getting in the way. We explore how resonance, not strategy, draws the right people to our work, why words can never fully capture what we’re pointing to (especially in non-dual spaces), and the simple power of just being here now. Key insights from our conversation: • Why trying to achieve inner peace can become another trap • How successful women can step off the treadmill of constant doing • The difference between creating flow and allowing what’s already flowing • Why your thoughts don’t mean what you think they mean • How to trust the effortless unfolding of business and life Whether you’re carrying too much, feeling stuck in old patterns of achievement, or curious about what lies beneath the mental noise, this episode offers a gentle invitation to remember what you already know. Connect with Brigette here: https://brigittevantuijl.com/ Visit Suzie’s work at: https://www.sychangecoach.com for coaching and resources. Email any feedback or questions on the podcast or this episode to:  Info@sychangecoach.com - I’d love to hear from you. Remember - life is already happening effortlessly. Sometimes we just need to stop trying so hard to make it work.

    Episode 40 - Nothing Changed - But Everything Did: An Inspiring Story of Resilience and Transformation with my client, Lorna

    Lorna came to coaching during one of the hardest, most challenging chapters of her life. The pressures didn’t let up. The circumstances didn’t magically improve. On the surface, nothing changed. And yet - everything did. In this deeply honest conversation, Lorna shares how she let go of the pressure to fix it all and discovered a quieter strength. A new way of being with herself, and a deep sense of peace - even when life was still hard. We explore what real transformation looks like when it’s not about doing more, but seeing differently. This isn’t traditional coaching. It’s not therapy either. It’s something simpler, deeper - and profoundly life-changing. If you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, or the hidden cost of always coping, this episode is for you. We talk about: Emotional resilienceHealing without fixingAnd the powerful ripple effect when one woman finds clarity within herself.I hope you enjoy this episode about the real possibility of change.
