    #41 Dean Jefferys: Triggering the System - Psychedelics, Activism & Radical Expression

    Today I welcome a groundbreaking filmmaker, conservation activist, and lifelong edge-pusher into the studio: Dean Jefferys. He joins me for a wide-ranging conversation on activism and radical self-expression. Dean discusses his involvement in the peace camp during the Iraq War and power dynamics in the current genocide and war in the Middle East. We dive into psychedelics, particularly the Sonoran Desert toad, exploring intention, letting go, and the importance of integration and shadow work — something Dean believes is often missing in the space. We also cover his non-violent approach to environmental activism, including direct action in old-growth forests and the strategy behind getting arrested to drive real change. He shares some wild stories, from flying over warships in protest to spending time in jail for it. At its core, this episode is about pushing boundaries politically, spiritually, and creatively, and seeing it all as a form of art.Tune in now!  Work with Pete  Connect with Pete on Instagram  Connect with Pete on Facebook Watch Dean’s documentaries here  Connect with Dean on Instagram

    #41 Jack White: Embodiment, attunement & integrated performance

    In this conversation, I sit down with Jack White, a coach working at the intersection of elite performance, embodiment, and human behaviour, supporting high-performers who know how to push their bodies, but haven’t yet learned how to listen.  With over 15 years in elite sport, movement, and somatic coaching, his work centres on developing strength with sensitivity, shifting from forcing results, to integrating deep attunement.  This episode unpacks how psychological patterns show up in the body, and why creating space in the body creates space in the psyche. We discuss how to move from fragmented development to integrated, full-spectrum awareness using practices like Qi Gong as a way to build internal clarity.  This is conversation explores what it means to become more attuned, so that your body, psyche, and actions begin to move as one.

    Blondie Lee - How to stop people-pleasing and find the courage to speak your truth [REPLAY]

    Revisiting one of the most impactful conversations on the show so far. This episode quickly became a listener favourite for a reason. Enjoy! This episode has been a long time coming, and I'm so excited to welcome my dear friend, long term coaching client and SHADOWBOXING™ Mastery graduate, Alicia AKA Blondie Lee into the studio! Blondie opens up about her impressive DJ career, navigating the pressures of social media, people’s expectations and her own persona’s in the industry. She vulnerably shares how shadow work has completely transformed her life, and in order to become her most authentic self, her inauthentic self needed to die. She has transcended her people pleasing tendencies and victim mentality, explaining how there is “no room for judgement or resentment in my life now”. I loved recording this episode, and I know you will love it too. Tune in now!

    #40 Renate de Koker: Perception, responsibility & unlocking the feminine

    Today I am welcoming Renate de Koker back into the studio to discuss a rising issue in today's western social paradigm; the battle of the sexes. The conversation begins with the nature of perception, and instead of trying to convince others to see what we see, Renate proposes we bring perception back to the senses. Stop intellectualising, to start witnessing.We explore why women might crave the presence of a grounded masculine, and how deeper levels of relaxation can unlock creativity and spirituality. Pete shares insights from coaching couples in high conflict, reframing relational breakdown not as a matter of blame, but of responsibility. And finally, we address the scientific interface between mind, nervous system, and hormonal system. Proving the fascinating concept of how unprocessed stress, fear, and suppressed emotion can manifest as psychosomatic illness in the body.This episode is a deep inquiry into perception, challenging you to look inward first.

    #39 Ryan Barraclough: Brotherhood is the medicine

    In this episode, I sit down with men’s coach, therapist, and co-founder of the Embodied Man Institute, Ryan Barraclough, for a deep conversation on purpose, rites of passage, psychedelics, leadership in intimate relationships, and why brotherhood may be the missing medicine for modern men. Ryan’s path began in adversity with severe asthma as a child, and later, the suicide of a close friend at 26 that forced him to confront his own mental and emotional health. That rupture led him away from the status quo and into the uncharted territory of men’s work, psychotherapy, and initiation.This is a conversation about reclaiming depth in a flawed culture that rewards performance over purpose - share this episode with someone you think will resonate! JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY ⁠⁠⚡️Connect with Pete on InstagramConnect with Pete on FacebookApply for Private Mentorship Explore The Embodied Man Institute Connect with Ryan on Instagram

    #38 Hollie Azzopardi: Saying yes to you

    Today I have a wonderful conversation with Hollie Azzopardi, a published author, psychic, public speaker, wife and mother, with a passion for helping people shine. Hollie is truly a ray of sunshine, with a palpable energy you can sense throughout this episode.  Drawing from the wisdom in her recent book, saying yes to you, Hollie gives an inspiring and digestible explanation of how to truly say yes to you. We consider the differences between being selfish, and putting yourself first in a “tall poppy syndrome” culture.  And for the first time ever on this podcast, the end of this episode has a live psychic reading. Hollie taps into my energy and shares wisdom about possible future children, a house move, my health and business.  For those of you interested in loving yourself, tune in!

    #37 Stuart Camps: Natural contemplation and the innate wisdom of animals

    This episode with Stuart Camps is the kind of esoteric conversation I love, where there isn't a beginning, middle or end.  Stuart grew up in tribal New Guinea, and was committed to rock climbing in his younger years as a process of self understanding and exploration. He moved to California for 25 years to work with animals, where he was introduced to the concept of natural contemplation.  He shares his vast experiences with animals: from inspiring horse training stories demonstrating how to relate to animals differently, to fascinating observations of herd dynamics.  This episode offers a snapshot of Stuart's book, Lightning, thunder, cows as he shares deeply interesting spiritual concepts, masterfully told through a series of anecdotal tales from the wild. I hope you feel less fear, and more free, after you listen to this episode. I definitely did!  Purchase Stuarts book Lightning, thunder, cows here.  JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY ⁠⁠⚡️ Connect with Pete on Instagram Connect with Pete on Facebook Book in for private coaching

    #36 Jaguar Heart: How to spot a narcissist, integrating the unconsciousness, and finding peace in your relationship

    Today’s episode is one of my favourites. The most mistakenly maligned men's coach, Jaguar Heart, joins me in the studio to share his powerful insights and experiences and how they have made his coaching approach so effective.  We begin this episode unpacking narcissistic personality disorder; what to look out for, our personal experiences with narcissists, and how to heal after experiencing their manipulation tactics.  Jaguar shares his comprehensive spiritual knowledge rooted in ancient stoicism, explaining the practical process of merging the conscious and unconscious minds in order to tap into your innate power and potential.  And of course, we challenge the mainstream narrative and delve into masculine and feminine roles within a partnership, and what it takes to show up in our current society as a high value male, or as we would prefer to say; a high virtue male.   I’m very excited for you to hear this episode, tell me what you think in the comments!  If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend 🚀 JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY ⁠⁠⚡️ Connect with Pete on Instagram Connect with Pete on Facebook Book in for private coaching  Connect with Jaguar: Work with Jaguar here Follow Jaguar on Instagram
