What does it actually mean to live intentionally? The Self-Leadership Podcast explores that question through honest, practical conversations. In each episode, we unpack the routines and practices people rely on to stay aligned with what matters to them. We go deeper into how these practices started, why they matter and how they work - and sometimes don’t - in real life. We hope that listeners gain both perspective and practical ways to approach their own lives more intentionally, through practices they can adapt and try for themselves. New episodes bi-weekly.

    5 Practices for a Life That Feels Like Yours - Nakhli Khoury

    What would change if your everyday choices reflected more of who you are? Intentional living became a personal question for Nakhli Khoury when his corporate identity no longer felt like the whole story. In this episode of The Self Leadership Podcast, Nakhli joins Anna and Josh to share five practices he uses to understand himself, notice his reactions and make room for what matters to him. After almost two decades in corporate life, a restructuring and a health issue prompted him to look inward. He began recognising a thread across his work, relationships and interests: a love of learning and sharing what he knows. Through these practices, Nakhli explores observing thoughts without trying to silence them, noticing how he responds to challenges, giving without recognition and caring for himself so he can be there for the people he loves. He also shares why feeling aligned matters more to him than being happy all the time.

    Set Goals Without Putting Your Worth on the Line - Yana Lapitskaya

    Can you pursue ambitious goals without making your self-worth depend on whether you achieve them? Marketer and entrepreneur Yana Lapitskaya joins Josh and Anna on The Self Leadership Podcast to explore that question through five practices that help her build a fulfilling, balanced life. For Yana, tennis is a place to practice focus, meet people and learn how to move on from a bad point. Writing gives her a way to process emotions and create something meaningful. Self-reflection helps her revisit experiences, notice patterns and question the stories she tells herself. She also shares what she learnt when her tech startup didn’t succeed as hoped, why she had already chosen to keep her worth separate from the business, and how that distinction can still be difficult to maintain in everyday life. If you’re questioning your pace or putting pressure on yourself to keep improving, this conversation offers a way to reconsider what you’re working towards and what already makes your life worth living.

    Beyond Busy: 5 Rules to Reclaim Your Attention - Florestano Compagno

    Florestano Compagno became very good at showing up for other people, often before asking what he needed himself. In this episode of The Self Leadership Podcast, he joins Anna and Josh to discuss what he calls selective presence: choosing where your attention and energy belong. He explains how perfectionism and assumed expectations pushed him to overdeliver, and why being present requires clear boundaries. Florestano also shares five practical ways to be more intentional with your attention. Give people your full focus. Leave situations where you have no reason to stay.

    Stress Is My Default. Calm Is My Practice - Saliha Van Nuland

    Stress is a familiar state for Saliha Van Nuland. Growing up in a chaotic environment left her accustomed to hypervigilance, and she still notices how easily her nervous system can move into fight or flight. Childhood chronic bronchitis meant repeated hospital stays and having to relearn how to breathe. Years later, Saliha trained as a breathing teacher and began using the breath to notice stress, change her state and create more space before reacting. She joins Anna and Josh to share the five practices that help her return to steadiness. They explore what breath holds and over breathing can reveal, why a useful reset must be simple enough for a difficult day, and how nourishment, movement and journalling support her wider approach to nervous system regulation.

    Everything is Hard Before It Is Easy - Beth Jones

    The first month in Angola was awful. Beth had quit her job as a petroleum engineer, sold the house in Aberdeen and moved with her husband to a country where she knew nobody, didn’t speak the language and couldn’t safely go out on her own. He left for work every morning and was the only person she saw all day. What got her through was a line she found while looking up motivational quotes: everything is hard before it is easy. Six months in, she is learning Portuguese, working part time and travelling to places she never expected to see. Beth joins Anna and Josh Winterson to talk about what happens to a driven, goal oriented person when the structure disappears. Practices discussed Practice 1: Set a clear goal Practice 2: Plan the route Practice 3: Do the work Practice 4: Reflect and adjust Practice 5: Positive self talk Connect with Beth Beth Jones on LinkedIn Connect with your hosts Anna Maria on LinkedIn Josh Winterson on LinkedIn Chapters 00:00 Introduction 05:41 How Angola changed Beth’s perspective 09:24 Living intentionally 22:45 Practice 1: Set a clear goal 35:12 Practice 2: Plan the route 40:12 Practice 3: Do the work 52:35 Practice 4: Reflect and adjust 1:02:05 Practice 5: Positive self talk 1:10:28 The five practices in review Subscribe for more honest conversations about the practices that shape intentional lives.

    I Travelled From Italy to Bali Without Flying to Cure My Burnout - Diego Scarsella

    Creative burnout pushed Diego Scarsella to leave his London life behind and rethink what meaningful work could feel like. After returning to Italy, the product designer set out on a seven month overland journey from near Milan to Bali, travelling one bus ride at a time to find his spark again. Diego joins Anna and Josh to share what the journey revealed about courage, intentional living and the space creativity needs. He explains why courage often arrives after we act, how stillness helps us understand what we have experienced, and why rest can be more useful than another hour of busy work. The conversation also explores the difference between doing what looks productive and doing what feels meaningful. Diego’s practices are deliberately flexible. You don’t need a seven month trip to begin. A walk, a short rest, a page of reflection or a few unproductive minutes of play can be enough to notice what you need next.
