    The 3 Hidden Inner Capacities of a Transformational Leader | Jude-Martin Etuka - E14

    Transformational leadership has been talked about for decades. We know what it looks like when we experience it. We know how it feels to be around someone who genuinely shifts a room, a team, or a culture. But what’s always been missing is a clear understanding of what it actually takes to become that kind of leader. In this conversation, I sit down again with Jude Martin Etuka to explore the findings of his PhD research into transformational leadership. Jude set out to study a gap that had largely been left unexplored. While transformational leadership has been well described, the inner work required to embody it was never clearly mapped. Drawing on his years as a monk, his research and work inside organisations, and his own lived experience, Jude shares the three hidden inner capacities that consistently show up in truly transformational leaders. We talk about pressure, surrender, spirituality in everyday work, and why leadership is a way of being before it is a skillset. As someone who’s spent years working as a leadership consultant, this conversation put language to things I’ve seen again and again in practice but rarely heard articulated so clearly.

    The Beautiful Messy Reality of a Spiritual Life | Tim & Elise (Source 88) - E13

    Interested in a Free/Donation based Purpose Blueprint session? Contact me via website: ⁠⁠www.humankinder.com.au⁠⁠ There’s a lot of talk about spirituality these days, but much less honesty about what it’s actually like to live it.In this conversation, I sit down with Tim and Elise from Source 88 to explore the beautiful messy reality of a spiritual life. Not the polished version, but the lived one. The uncertainty, the responsibility, the discomfort, and the deep aliveness that comes when you stop choosing safety and start choosing truth.We talk about what happens when you stop numbing and start feeling. Why living in the mystery can be far more alive than staying in the comfort of what’s known. How breakdowns often become doorways. And why spirituality isn’t about escaping the world, but learning how to stay present inside it.This is a conversation about embodiment, honesty, and remembering who you are beneath conditioning and roles. About choosing aliveness over safety, even when it’s uncomfortable.To connect with Tim and Elise: https://www.source88.com.au/ or instagram https://www.instagram.com/source.88/More on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderShow Notes00:00: Debunking spiritual myths around love, light, and bypassing01:07: Introduction01:52: Tim and Elise’s journey into spirituality and healing05:03: Understanding vibration and embodied awareness07:37: Elise’s mental health awakening and breaking point11:44: Practical and grounded approaches to spiritual growth20:37: Breathwork and sound healing as embodied practices28:43: Exploring past lives and spiritual realms responsibly38:46: Facing cynicism while staying open to spirituality48:40: Daily practices for spiritual alignment and presence55:02: The dual nature of life, expansion and contraction55:24: Expansion and contraction explained through a jellyfish analogy55:46: Discernment, choice, and potentiality56:25: The spiritual journey and conscious creation58:37: Inner child work and reconnecting with soul purpose01:00:03: Healing childhood trauma through awareness01:03:51: The role of the soul in emotional and spiritual healing01:10:03: Channeling, intuition, and spiritual guidance01:20:17: What it really means to live a mystical life01:27:49: Trusting the universe and following inner signs01:32:21: Liberated living and grounded spiritual leadership01:40:18: Final reflections and encouragementInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/human_kinder/Website: www.humankinder.com.au

    Open to the Healing Power of Love with Martina Hegarty | Guided Meditation

    This meditation is practical companion to the conversation I shared with Martina: Listen here.It’s an invitation to slow down, come into the body, and create space for anything that might be quietly held underneath the surface. It's a chance to open the heart, listen and let the body do what it knows how to do.This meditation is especially supportive if you’re feeling stuck, heavy, or disconnected, or if the episode stirred something in you that you didn’t quite have words for.You don’t need any prior experience with meditation. Just a willingness to be with yourself as you are.To connect with Martina: https://www.celticheartandsoul.com.au/ or instagram https://www.instagram.com/celticheartsoul/Meditation Flow00:00: Introduction to breath awareness01:02: Connecting to your heart02:10: Grounding to Mother Earth04:21: Receiving and giving love06:43: Connecting to source08:22: Balancing and aligning energies10:35: Closing and groundingMore on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder

    Why So Many of Us Feel Stuck (What’s Really Going On) - Martina Hegarty | E12

    Many of us feel stuck at some point in life. We try to think our way out of it, push harder, or tell ourselves we should be more grateful. And when none of that works, it can start to feel personal. In this conversation, Martina and I explore what’s really going on underneath that feeling of being stuck. We talk about how unprocessed emotion lives in the body, how grief and loss can quietly shape our lives, and why so much of what we carry isn’t a personal failure, but a natural response to what we - and our ancestors - have been through. We speak about intuition, conditioning, the nervous system, and what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening instead. Martina and I are both Irish, so this conversation may resonate especially with anyone carrying Irish ancestry, while still speaking to much broader human experiences. After we finished recording, Martina offered to do some healing work with me. During that session, a layer of blocked grief that I’d been carrying in my heart shifted in a way I didn’t expect. It felt important to share that here, because conversations on healing can feel theoretical whilst the experience is oh so very real.

    How People Really Work | A Conversation with My Father - Bart Mc Enroe | E11

    This episode is a little different. I sat down with my dad for a quiet, honest conversation about life, people, and what he’s learned over 20 years as a leadership consultant and psychotherapist working with humans in all kinds of systems, families, and organisations. We talk about how people really work. Why behaviour makes sense when you understand what’s going on underneath. How emotions shape everything. Why conflict usually isn’t about the thing we think it is. And what happens when we stop trying to fix people and start learning how to understand them. Bart's approach has been extremely successful across both sport and business. In the Irish sporting world, he has worked closely with leading inter-county GAA managers, including Pat Gilroy, Mickey Harte, and Jack O’Connor, during periods that went on to produce multiple All-Ireland titles. His work has also extended into the business world, supporting some of Ireland's most senior and respected CEOs. Recording this felt meaningful. These are conversations I’ve been learning from my whole life, and I’m grateful to finally share one with you.

    Real Success Is an Inside Job - David Flynn (The Happy Pear) | E10

    I sit down with David Flynn, co-founder of The Happy Pear, the global plant-based food and wellness brand, to explore what freedom, success, and purpose really look like, as he reflects on 21 years of The Happy Pear and what chasing dreams has taught him about living fully. We talk about the pressure to keep achieving, the quiet anxiety around purpose, and how real freedom doesn’t come from doing more, but from learning how to be with yourself as you are. Dave shares openly about presence, meditation, movement, community, and what it means to live a full life without postponing it for some future moment. This is a grounded, honest conversation about slowing down, letting go of the need to prove anything, and remembering what already matters. Dave speaks candidly about faith, fatherhood, doubt, and what success has really taught him, offering a side of himself that rarely comes through in conversations about food, business, or performance.

    Exploring the Direct Path to Awakening - Daniel Lai | E09

    Most of us spend our lives searching for happiness, chasing goals, chasing meaning, chasing peace. But what if what you’re searching for is already here? In this episode, Daniel Lai joins me to explore the direct path to enlightenment, the simplest, most immediate way of seeing through the illusion of separation. We talk about the endless loop of self-improvement, the role of psychedelics in awakening, and what it actually means to live with understanding and awareness in everyday life. This is a conversation about truth, curiosity, and the freedom that comes when you stop searching and realise you were already home. Read Dan's poetry and prose here.
