If you are tired of rolling out wellbeing initiatives and nothing is changing, this podcast is for you. This podcast is for business leaders, HR, learning and development, and wellbeing managers who are serious about reducing burnout, improving performance, and creating workplaces that work, not just look good on paper. If your organisation has invested in training, tools, and programmes, yet stress levels remain high and resilience initiatives fail to move the needle, this podcast challenges why. Each episode dismantles the assumption that stress and burnout are caused by workload, roles, or external pressure. Instead, it points to what is shaping human experience from the inside out, and why, without this understanding, even the best wellbeing strategies stall. Grounded in neuroscience, consciousness, self-awareness, and nervous system insight, this podcast offers a fundamentally different foundation for workplace wellbeing and performance, one that creates real, measurable change rather than short-term fixes. Hosted by Sara Maude, a former HR leader with experience across British Airways Holidays, Virgin Atlantic, Debenhams, and the NHS. With over 14 years of delivering resilience and wellbeing training, and more than 5,000 one-to-one sessions, Sara brings rare clarity into what drives behaviour, resilience, and sustainable change at work. If you want impact, not initiatives, you will recognise this conversation.

    Why it's Time to Rethink Resilience Training

    Why It's Time to Rethink Resilience Training in the Workplace Resilience training in the workplace is something organisations have been investing in for years.  But what if it's time to rethink what resilience is? In this episode, Sara Maude, wellbeing in the workplace expert, invites you to explore a completely new paradigm of resilience. Drawing on over a decade of delivering resilience training across organisations, Sara reveals why so many programmes fail to create lasting change and what leaders can do instead. You'll discover: ✅ Why traditional resilience training focuses on coping instead of transformation ✅ How managers' ability to navigate change is shaped by their thoughts, beliefs, and nervous system conditioning ✅ The real reason some people thrive during change while others burn out ✅ How to unlock innate resilience by teaching leaders self-awareness, regulation, and presence If your organisation is still treating resilience as something to build, it's time to rethink the entire approach. 💡 Listen in to learn how to redesign resilience in your workplace — so your managers can lead through change with calm, clarity, and confidence. 🎯 Ready to let managers and employees access their innate resilience?  Book a call  to redesign resilience in your organisation.

    What's The Difference Between Self Awareness and Consciousness?

    Understand The Difference Between Self-Awareness and Consciousness Keen to understand what consciousness is? And to explore the difference between self-awareness and consciousness?  This is one of my favourite subjects, and with over 1900 monthly searches asking what consciousness is, I'm aiming to answer this question for you! This is a deep dive that lays out the difference between self-awareness and consciousness and will help you gain insight into; Consciousness as the unified field The finite mind You are consciousness in physical form All suffering comes from a sense of separation from our true selves Why the ego can never have what it desires How to access the awareness of consciousness Why there are no 'levels' of consciousness I invite you to listen to this episode at a time when you can be present.  Our 'insights' that allow us to 'see' what we hadn't seen before come from the insight-friendly space, like when you're in the bath, or taking a walk in nature.  Because when you do 'see' that consciousness isn't in the brain, but it is a unified field from which everything is created, it will change your life!

  6. Why Self Awareness is The New Super Power in The Workplace

    Why Self Awareness is The New Super Power in The Workplace

    Why Self Awareness is The New Superpower in The Workplace We like to believe that we're in control of our lives — that we're consciously choosing how we respond, what we think, how we behave. But here's the truth: more than 95% of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are driven by unconscious conditioned responses. And if you can't see those responses? You can't change them. That's why self-awareness isn't a nice-to-have — it's a superpower. It's the only way to interrupt those automatic patterns that keep you in emotional loops like anxiety, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome. And it's the first step toward real, sustainable change. The unconscious mind isn't just the brain — it's your body. We often think of the unconscious as this mysterious part of the mind. But in reality, your body is the unconscious mind. Your nervous system — shaped by years of emotional conditioning — has memorised how to live in states like fear, stress, or low self-worth. And your brain? It listens. It creates thoughts that match the body's baseline emotions. That's how you get caught in the "thinking–feeling loop": A thought triggers a feeling, the feeling reinforces the thought, and over time, it becomes your default. This is why people say "I've always been an anxious person" or "This is just who I am." But that's not true. You are not your anxiety. You are not your insecurity. What you're experiencing is the residue of past emotional conditioning, not your identity. I've worked with hundreds of people who've felt trapped in cycles of anxiety, exhaustion, and self-doubt, despite trying everything: medication, EAPs, CBT, and talking therapy. The reason it hasn't worked? Because talking about your problems often keeps you stuck in the same mental-emotional loop. You're rehearsing the problem, not rewiring the response. Real transformation happens somatically, not just cognitively. The future of workplace wellbeing isn't more advice. It's not more surface-level mental health campaigns. It's a shift toward somatic, neuroscience-backed tools that help your people recondition their emotional baseline. That's why I'm so passionate about introducing cymatic practices like: EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) Energy psychology Quantum flow and breath-based emotional release tools These aren't abstract theories — they're practical tools we teach in real time during our employee wellbeing webinars. And the results are instant. I've seen employees go from feeling overwhelmed to regulated in under 10 minutes. I've watched physical symptoms dissolve after just a few rounds of tapping. And every time, I hear the same words: "What just happened? I feel completely different." That's the power of rewiring the nervous system. Self-awareness is essential for employee wellbeing and personal development. When your people understand what's really driving their stress, anxiety, or reactivity, everything shifts. Because now they have agency. Now they can interrupt the pattern instead of being hijacked by it. They can respond with clarity instead of reacting with fear. They can show up with confidence, calm, and presence — because they're no longer at the mercy of outdated emotional conditioning. And here's the best part: this is their natural state. Feelings like calm, joy, connection, and stability — these aren't things we need to manufacture. They're already within us. But the nervous system has to be taught how to return there. That's the work we do. We teach your employees how to come back to who they really are. Not the version running on autopilot. The version that's conscious, regulated, and empowered. Because when people learn how to self-regulate, when they stop outsourcing their power, when they feel emotionally safe in their own bodies — the ripple effect on workplace performance is profound. So if you're a leader, a wellbeing manager, or someone who knows your team is capable of so much more — let's talk. Ready to create real-time transformation in your workplace?

  7. The Secret to Effortless Manifestation

    03/19/2025

    The Secret to Effortless Manifestation

    Manifestation is one of my absolute favourite topics—ever since I discovered The Celestine Prophecy at 20, I've been fascinated by how we create our own reality. And while manifesting isn't something I talk specifically about very often, it's a huge part of empowerment—because owning your power means realising that you are the creator of your experience. In the self-help world, we've all heard that in order to manifest, we must: ✔️ Visualize daily ✔️ Write gratitude lists ✔️ Engage in manifestation rituals ✔️ Stay in the feeling of already having what we desire But… what if you didn't need to do any of that? What if the most powerful way to manifest was not to do anything at all? 💡 Inside this episode: ✔️ Why traditional manifestation techniques might be keeping you stuck ✔️ The surprising truth about manifestation that no one talks about ✔️ How to step into effortless creation mode, where what you desire naturally comes to you If you've ever felt exhausted by the "rules" of manifestation, this episode will shift everything. 🎧 Hit play and step into effortless creation. 🚀✨

    The Secret Weapon for Women in Leadership : Mini Masterclass with Carol Look

    In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Carol Look, EFT Master and author of The Yes Code. Together, we dive into how self-sabotaging behaviours like perfectionism, procrastination, and neglecting self-care hold so many women in leadership back—and how EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) can help you overcome these patterns. Carol opens up about her personal journey, sharing how she broke free from these behaviours herself, and explains why these patterns are often deeply wired into our nervous system. We discuss how these behaviours might have served you in the past but are now blocking your success, happiness, and well-being. ✨ In this episode, we explore: The hidden ways self-sabotage shows up in leadership. Why perfectionism feels productive but often leads to burnout. How EFT  empowers you to overcome these self-sabotaging behaviours, get out of your way and thrive in all areas of your life.  How to spot signs of trauma and how EFT can enable you to process trauma without the need for talking therapy. If you've ever felt like you're running on empty or stuck in cycles of proving yourself, this conversation is for you. Join us as we explore how you can overcome self-sabotage and step into leadership with balance and authenticity.
