Do you feel trapped by your own mind? Imprisoned by your thoughts? Do you often find yourself wishing you were somewhere in the future, or reliving ’better’ memories from your past? We all do it. All day. I was ’lucky’ enough to have gone through living life with a stutter. It showed me the chaos that can reside inside our own minds, when we become fixated or obsessed on something. An idealised future. A better past. Here, I aim to show you a world outside your thinking. A world that exists in this moment Now. When we reconnect to what has always been there since we were kids. Our hearts. The playfulness, the joy, the truth. Join me, as we take the longest journey of our lives; one that most people don’t even start. The journey from head to heart. Much love, Sanjog PS The three episode types are: Head (🧠) - Episodes discussing getting OUT of the head. Heart (❤️) - Episodes discussing getting IN to the heart. Inspire (🗣️) - Interviews with inspirational people on the same journey as us.

    🧠007 - Brick Walls of Thought

    Do you ever feel isolated, like no matter what you do, you can't connect with certain people in your life? Do you feel like there are walls up, for both you and the other person? Does it feel like you're literally talking to, or hitting your head against, a brick wall? In this episode I briefly go into 4 ways that we experience these 'brick walls of thought'. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

    🗣️006 - Viktor Saghy Interview

    Today's special guest is my personal coach and friend Viktor Saghy! Viktor coached me for 1.5 years 2023-2025. He is an amazing coach and mentor. In this episode, we spend the first half discussing his coaching approach and the second half him live-coaching me! I was in a bad place with my speech and this was the support I needed. I delayed putting this episode out for 15 MONTHS! I kept avoiding. What becomes obvious to me is I was ashamed of my stuttering 'relapse' here. This was when I was going through a bad time with my speech. I had done hypnotherapy and seen temporary improvement, and yet had a huge relapse. Where my fear levels and stuttering had increased back to previous levels. I was distraught. And yet, what I hear when I listen back, is the amount of value that is in this episode. I have been robbing the world of gold, because of my selfishness. Because of my own insecurities. Because of my own shame. I am supposed to be better than this. I am supposed to be guiding us all. I have let you, me and us all down. I will be better. Enjoy the episode. x Viktor's bio: Be Unstoppable: Coaching That Actually Moves the Needle Viktor helps high-achieving health leaders and individuals stop overthinking, reclaim their power, and create the life they know they’re meant to live. Whether it’s elevating their career, leading with heart, healing relationships, or showing up courageously in the world—clients come to Viktor when they’ve hit a ceiling and are ready to finally break through. They walk away with more time, more income, more clarity, better relationships—and most importantly, a deeper relationship with themselves. Viktor has helped clients: - Raise their income 30% in one session - Launch businesses they’d been sitting on for years - Transform self-doubt into public speaking confidence - Heal long-standing self-criticism, anxiety, and mental health challenges - Stand up for themselves and finally claim their power - Repair strained relationships and reconnect with their families - Take bold action that collapsed timelines from “someday” to “right now” What do clients say? Viktor is the coach who’s all heart and no fluff. He sees what clients can’t see, says what others won’t say, and challenges them in ways that feel safe and empowering. He walks with them through it all—with fierce care and a relentless belief in their potential. Viktor brings two decades of leadership and entrepreneurial experience, an ICF-accredited coaching background, and deep training in communication, somatic work, and personal transformation. He’s invested tens of thousands into mastering this craft—because he lives what he teaches. But none of that matters if real change isn’t created. That’s what this work is about. If clients are ready to stop settling and start leading their lives from the inside out—Viktor would love to meet them. ------------------------- Follow me on Instagram and TikTok - @shockedintoawakening ------------------------- Intro music credit: https://uppbeat.io/t/bosnow/street-knowledge License code: JPCSG6EUHTGFMOYM

    ❤️006 - Letting Go

    Part 2 of the Ego Sabotage/Letting Go episode series! We spoke about feeling triggered in the last episode, where the fight/flight centre of our brain gets activated. We spoke about bringing awareness to these sabotaging thoughts. Dealing with them on a thought-level. In this episode we speak about letting go of the feeling on a somatic body emotion-level. This process has changed my life in numerous ways. Being able to regulate your feelings, and let go of our trauma in the body, is the single most useful technique you can learn to live a peaceful life. Note that this is a 2-part episode. Please listen to"🧠006 - Ego Sabotage" for part 1. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

    🧠006 - Ego Sabotage

    Do you feel like your mind hijacks you sometimes? Your ego sabotages your growth? You behave in ways you later regret? When we feel triggered, we are activating the amygdala, the fight/flight centre of our brain. We are NOT being ourselves. Find out why this happens, and the first step in changing your behaviours, in this episode. Note that this is a 2-part episode. Please listen to"❤️006 - Letting Go" next week (Feb 25). ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.

    🗣️005 - Alex Manzi Interview

    Today's episode is a very special one to me. You see, I met Alex Manzi on a personal development course back at the start of 2023. This was a course which launched me into embarking on my podcast journey. But whilst the inkling for the idea had formed on the course, it was Alex who massively encouraged and guided me on getting setup with my recording equipment and the "how to". He is a fantastic life coach and his podcast was rated the top life coaching podcast a few years ago. He has had amazing people like Amy Johnson (author of 'Being Human' and 'Just A Thought') and Wretch 32 (famous UK rapper) on there, sharing their knowledge. This episode is a full circle moment for me, as Alex committed to me that he would be on the podcast, provided I put up 5 recorded interviews. And here we are, with the 5th one going live. Thank you Alex for pushing me to be better! Here's a bio written by the man himself: "Alex Manzi is a Creator and Coach who works with Creatives and Entrepreneurs to help them optimise their mindset so that they can bring their dream projects to life. Alex is also the host of 'In The Moment with Alex Manzi' which is one of the most downloaded self development podcasts in the UK as well as author of the book 'The Search For Clarity' which he released in 2020." ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode.

    ❤️005 - Building Trust

    Why do we never trust our hearts or our guts? We used to when we were kids... we would laugh, love and cry. Create and play all day! Then we developed thought. The mind started trying to keep us small. Make us play it safe. It wants everything to be CERTAIN. Life is uncertain. Enough. Start building trust. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love. Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok - @sanjogsandhu Update: Starting from 🧠004, each episode type will follow on from each other. E.g. 🧠004,🧠005, 🧠006... will be sequential.

    🧠005 - Feeling Trapped?

    Do you feel trapped by your mind? Does it feel like it's caging you in, with no way out? Do you feel helpless, even after trying postitive affirmations, therapy and numerous ways to 'change' your thoughts? What if there was another way? A way that didn't involve changing any thinking. A way that showed you who you truly are. A way where you realise you aren't trapped inside the cage, but rather you are the one observing the cage. ------------------------- I hope you enjoy the episode. Much love.
