Overthinking is a sign we are avoiding our feelings

I've recently seen 3 coaching clients 'wake up' by doing this
I've recently seen three clients have an awakening by stopping abandoning themselves. I didn't know it was coming, and nor did they - but it was a privilege to witrness.Doing this work really can take you all the way (or more accurately return you) to the peace and love of your true nature.Work with me - free 15 minute 1:1 consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callSubstack: https://simonmundie.substack.com/For a gift of 30 free meditation sessions on Henry Shukman's meditation app 'The Way' - click here: https://the-way.app.link/simon Hosted on Acast.

The Pattern Underneath The Manosphere (It's Not What You Think)
bonusThis short episode reflects on the Louis Theroux manosphere documentary and what it reveals beneath the surface. Rather than judging behaviour, I explore the underlying pattern of avoidance—how we push away sensitivity and what that does to our sense of self. Drawing on my own experience, this points toward a more honest form of masculinity—and ultimately, a path of awakening through integration, not rejection.Free 15 minute coaching consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmSimonMundieSubstack: https://simonmundie.substack.com/For a gift of 30 free meditation sessions on Henry Shukman's meditation app 'The Way' - click here: https://the-way.app.link/simonFor more information on The Way head here: http://thewayapp.com/simon Hosted on Acast.

Why People Pleasing Happens (And How To Stop)
People pleasing often looks kind on the surface. But over time it can lead to exhaustion, resentment - and burnout. In this episode, I explore why people pleasing develops in the first place and why it’s rooted in a childhood strategy to secure love and approval. More importantly, I share a different way of working with the pattern. Instead of trying to force yourself to “stop”, the real shift comes from recognising the deeper fear driving it and learning how to meet that feeling directly. When you do, something surprising happens: the pattern begins to soften, and the approval you’ve been chasing outside yourself becomes far less important. If you struggle to say no, overcommit, or feel responsible for other people’s emotions, this episode will help you understand why - and what actually leads to lasting change.To explore this work more deeply, you can book a free 15 minute 1:1 consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-call Hosted on Acast.

The Real Reason You're Still Searching
Why does it sometimes feel like something's still missing - even after deep insight?In this short episode, Simon explores the hidden motivations behind the search for awakening, the role of self-worth in seeking, and why surrender matters more than chasing another breakthrough.

After Spiritual Awakening - Relationships Are Still Triggering (5 Month Update + Retreat News)
In this episode, Alex and I share a five-month update since my awakening experience - and how it’s actually showing up in our relationship. One of the biggest misconceptions about spiritual awakening is that it removes triggers or makes you permanently peaceful. That hasn’t been our experience.We talk honestly about what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how old relational patterns still surface - but are met differently. We also share some news about upcoming retreats and what we’re building next.Free 15 minute 1:1 coaching consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnHCpGupiasFollow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/iamalexandrawilby/ Hosted on Acast.
