    Episode 34: Finding Your Balance: Outside-in and Inside-Out

    How much of your life is being shaped by what’s happening around you, and how much is coming from within you? In this episode, Dr Ray Sylvester and I continue our exploration of outside-in and inside-out living. We talk about why we need both, the impact of the constant noise around us, and why STOP 2 THINK isn’t about withdrawing from the world. It’s about creating enough space to hear yourself within it. We explore the difference between reacting and responding, the person and the performer, and the importance of creating what Ray calls intentional time. Perhaps the question isn’t whether you live outside-in or inside-out. Perhaps it’s simply: Have you found your balance? Follow us here.

    Episode 33 : Stories, States & Sentences

    This is one of the most personal and revealing conversations Ray and I have recorded. We talk about fear, grief, loss, health, getting older and something I’ve only recently begun to recognise about the way I’ve lived much of my life. For years, I became very good at helping other people change their lives while often avoiding some of the things going on inside my own. In this conversation, Ray challenges me to look at that and at the extraordinary difference between living your life from the outside in and from the inside out. The fear that can exist beneath busyness and achievementWhy helping others can sometimes stop us looking at ourselvesWhat grief has taught me about slowing downLearning to be kinder to yourselfWhy the hardest journey can be the journey withinWhat can arise when we finally give ourselves permission to stop Pull quote:“What I’m looking for isn’t out there. It’s in here.” This conversation gave me a lot to think about. I hope it does the same for you. Maybe the most important question is: what might you discover if you stopped long enough to really listen to yourself? Follow us here.

    The Day I Stopped Resisting Life - An Interview With Scott Edwards Jimena

    When Scott Edwards Jimena reached out to me, I had no idea just how much this conversation would stay with me. Like Hannah, Scott is living with glioblastoma. But this isn’t really a conversation about cancer. It’s a conversation about what happens when life forces us to STOP. Scott shares, for the first time publicly, the childhood trauma he carried in silence for more than thirty years and how confronting it completely changed the way he sees himself and the world around him. We talk about identity, vulnerability, fatherhood, purpose, spirituality, healing and why so many of us spend our lives wearing masks. What struck me most wasn’t Scott’s diagnosis—it was the peace he has found despite it. His story is a reminder that sometimes the greatest transformation begins when we stop resisting life, stop running from ourselves, and have the courage to discover who we really are. I genuinely believe this is one of the most honest and courageous conversations I’ve ever recorded, and I hope it encourages you to stop, reflect and perhaps see your own life a little differently. I hope you enjoy it. Follow Scott on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/scott_edwards_jimena/

    Celebrate The Journey - Episode 31

    Celebrate the Journey As the first series comes to a close, Ray asked me a question I had never quite asked myself before. Not how do I celebrate Hannah, but how do I celebrate the whole journey, including who I used to be. We recorded this one walking an old railway path in South Buckinghamshire, looking back across thirty one episodes and ten months of raw, unscripted conversation. It started with a walk round Ray's Indianapolis neighbourhood just days after Hannah's funeral, and it has brought me all the way to a recent, unguarded conversation on Davina McCall's podcast. This is the episode where the whole series comes full circle, and where celebration finally turned inward, toward me. In this episode: What I finally understood, ten months on, about celebrating in your sufferingThe moment on Davina McCall's Begin Again that changed how I share my own storyWhy an overactive nervous system can run for years before you even notice it is happeningPurging, and how I use sauna, journaling and meditation to deliberately release the old meThe harder question Ray finally asked me, how do you celebrate the old Pete, not just HannahPull quote: "This transition from old Pete to new Pete deserves celebration. Celebrating the old Pete, because without the old Pete, this narrative wouldn't exist. So nothing is wasted." That is the first series of Stop 2 Think, complete. If you have walked the whole way with me and Ray, thank you. Go back to Episode 1 and hear where it all began, or reach out and tell me what has stayed with you. Follow us here.

    Stand Up For Your Authenticity - Episode 30

    Stand Up For Your Authenticity Recorded on the same Indianapolis visit as the last episode, this one brings the whole attachment versus authenticity thread to its fullest conclusion. It closes with a piece of advice from my late coach Raphael that has genuinely become one of the most important lines in this entire journey. I went deeper into my own school days than I ever had before, tracing a lifetime of feeling not enough all the way back to being singled out at five years old, and assessed again at ten. Ray helped me see that even a real, hard won achievement, like beating a future Olympian in judo, can be undone in a moment by someone else's disbelief, if you let it. In this episode: Attachment as something necessary for survival, authenticity as a later, deliberate choiceMy own school trauma, traced back to being singled out at five and assessed again at tenThe runner I met in a shop, and why plateaus are a necessary, unglamorous stage of growthMy judo story revisited, beating a future Olympian and still doubting myself afterwardsRaphael's instruction, cross out the if in life, so that only legacy, le, remains Pull quote: "You can't outlearn your potential. Your potential is always a scope of expansion of self that you can't breach." That brings this stretch of Stop 2 Think to a close.

    Who Are You, Really? - Episode 29

    Who Are You, Really? Recorded after Ray and I spoke together at a global health and fitness conference, this is one of the most personally exposing episodes in the whole series. I admit, openly, to something I had been doing quietly for a long time. I told Ray about eating an entire Toblerone on a plane, and connected it, in real time, to Hannah's own one indulgence, smoking, the single thing she ever did purely for herself in a life spent giving to everyone else. We also worked through a genuinely useful exercise, two columns on a page, where am I and who am I, that I had actually done on the flight over. In this episode: Why fame and possessions never actually fulfil people from the inside, however much they accumulateAdmitting, openly, to eating an entire family sized Toblerone on a planeConnecting my own comfort eating to Hannah's one private indulgence, smokingThe where am I, who am I exercise, done honestly on the flight to Los AngelesDavid Goggins, and what it actually looks like to reject comfort entirely Pull quote: "The easiest thing we can be is ourselves, and the hardest thing is to be something we're not. However, the world teaches us the opposite." Come and join me and Ray for Episode 30, the final episode of this stretch, where we ask what it really means to stand up for your own authenticity.

    The Journey Continues: Identity, Attachment & Authenticity - Episode 28

    The Journey Continues, Identity, Attachment and Authenticity Recorded on my last day in Indianapolis, right after Ray and I spoke together on stage for the very first time, this episode goes deeper into identity, attachment, and authenticity than we ever had before. We watched the Bob Marley film One Love together that morning, and it gave us a way into something I have said for years without ever quite knowing what to do with it, you can't unpickle a pickle. Ray took that phrase somewhere genuinely useful, pulling the pickled onion apart layer by layer, and I got triggered live, by nothing more than a cancelled flight, and we used it as a real example right there in the moment. In this episode: Watching Bob Marley's One Love, and his own genuine ambiguity around identityYou can't unpickle a pickle, and Ray's extension of it, pulling the pickled onion apartGetting triggered live by a cancelled British Airways flight, and what it actually revealedViktor Frankl again, and the real freedom that lives in the space between stimulus and responseMarley's idea of I and I, and what it means to remove hierarchy from how we relate to people Pull quote: "What you can't do is unpickle the pickledness, but you can pull the onions and get the layers back, to see the essence of who you really are." Come and join me and Ray for Episode 29, where I open up honestly about my own struggle with comfort eating and what it actually means to ask, who are you, really. Follow us here.

    Open to Everything. Attached to Nothing - Episode 27

    Open to Everything, Attached to Nothing This episode introduces a guiding principle that has genuinely stayed with me ever since Ray first said it, being open to everything and attached to nothing. It goes right to the heart of what Stop 2 Think actually means, and why real openness is so much harder to live out than it sounds. We got into branding, of all things, using an exercise Ray ran with three hundred students where ninety eight percent owned an iPhone yet almost none of them could give an actual reason why. We also played with a simple perception exercise that reads as I am nowhere until you slow down enough to see it can also read as I am now here. In this episode: What being open to everything and attached to nothing actually means, and does not meanThe iPhone exercise, ninety eight percent ownership, almost no genuine justificationI am nowhere and I am now here, the same letters read two completely different waysDiet and exercise trends across my whole career, all really just brands carrying meaningYour right is someone else's left, a line from my old coach I still use to this day Pull quote: "Being open to everything attached to nothing is a decision to at least be open."
