#140 - Trusting Your Inner Guidance
30/05/2025 Duración: 05minThis week, I want to share with you a short clip from one of our recent sessions, and it’s about something I really love exploring: trusting your inner guidance. One of the things I often find is that when people first come across this understanding, they love the idea of wisdom—that quiet voice of guidance. But a common question is, “How do I tell the difference between that and just regular thinking?” In this 5-minute clip, I share what I’ve seen about that, and why your system is already being guided by wisdom - more than you might realise.

#139 - Coaching Breakthrough Unpacked Masterclass
23/05/2025 Duración: 58minThere’s a moment in nearly every breakthrough – one that’s easy to miss if you don’t know what to look for. It’s often quiet, almost invisible… but it’s where everything starts to shift. In last night’s masterclass, I slowed things down and unpacked a recent coaching demo where one of these pivotal moments happened, and we explored: – What I was noticing beneath the surface – Why I asked the questions I did (including a few that might seem counterintuitive) – How the entire session pivoted on a single shift in perspective If you’re a coach, change-worker, or just fascinated by the inside-out nature of real transformation, I think you’ll find this especially useful. Big love, Jamie P.S. Towards the end of the session, I shared two possible next steps for anyone wanting to take their coaching to the next level: 1 - If you’ve been considering joining Clarity Certification Training and want to explore if it’s the right next step for you, you can start your CCT application & diagnostic here.

#138 - DEMO: From Stuck to a Breakthrough in her Coaching Business
16/05/2025 Duración: 16minEver had one of those moments where you just know it’s time to act—no overthinking, just a deep click of certainty? Last week, I had a coaching session with Kate, a senior HR director scaling back her corporate role to grow her coaching practice. In just 15 minutes, we witnessed that exact moment of wisdom becoming visible right before our eyes. (Big thanks to Kate for generously allowing us to share her session so others can benefit.) A few breadcrumbs to listen for: The split-second move that turned Kate’s empty Thursdays into a full coaching roster How a single felt signal (“Oh—it’s now”) trumps months of spreadsheets and planning How genuine peace appears the instant intellectual “noise” steps aside And here’s the thing: just by listening in, you might even find yourself on the receiving end of your own breakthroughs around growing your practice—just as Kate did. Big love, Jamie

#137 - Boost Your Coaching Impact: Listening Beyond the Story
08/05/2025 Duración: 05minHave you noticed how a coaching session can turn into a Netflix mini-series in about thirty seconds? Your client starts describing what happened, the cast of characters grows, sub-plots multiply… and before you know it, you’re as tangled in the narrative as they are. When we get lost in the story, it’s hard to help them find the way out. In this week’s short clip I share the mindset shift that keeps me from being “hypnotised by the content” and lets me hear what’s really going on. A few hints of what’s inside: - The unexpected move I make before a client even finishes their first sentence. - A “prehistoric” listening lens that slices straight through any story. - Three simple words that open the door to genuine insight. - This quick listen might change the way you hear every conversation. Big love, Jamie

#136 - True Identity: The Story That Changed Everything
02/05/2025 Duración: 01h11minThis week for the podcast, I’m sharing something profoundly meaningful to me - an extract from a 2020 workshop on the topic of True Identity featuring two extraordinary mentors and dear friends, Chip and Jan Chipman. At the end of last year, I received the sad news that Chip had passed away. Chip and his wife Jan have been a profound influence in my life and understanding of the principles behind clarity. Their insights into “the beautiful feeling” and “who you really are” continue to shape the way I live, coach, and share this understanding with others. Towards the end of this clip, Chip shares one of my all-time favorite stories—the moment he and Jan realized they were destined to share the principles with the world. It’s a story that has sparked deep insights for so many, and I wanted to make it accessible to everyone in our community. In this session, we explore: The profound connection between “the beautiful feeling” and understanding your true identity. How realizing the beauty and innocence within you

#135 - Why Impostor Syndrome is a compass not a curse
24/04/2025 Duración: 15minI used to be terrified of speaking to groups - so much so that I once packed my company chequebook to refund everyone if I bombed! In this short clip from a recent masterclass, I share the insight that flipped my whole relationship with impostor syndrome. You’ll hear: Why that “I’m a fraud” feeling can be a compass, not a curse How your ego’s panic is often your soul’s signal to move forward The intuition shift that turned my self-doubt into momentum If you’ve ever heard the whisper, “Who are you to do this?” just before something big, this might turn impostor syndrome on its head.

#130 - 3 Principles vs Non-Duality: Difference?
21/03/2025 Duración: 04minI’ve got a short, 4-minute clip that dives into a question I hear all the time: Are non-duality and the Three Principles really different? And what if you love them both? In it, I explore why they’re actually pointing to the same truth in different ways, a key distinction that sets the 3 Principles apart, and how you can blend whatever resonates to spark new insights - for yourself, your loved ones, and your clients.

07/03/2025 Duración: 58minMy friend Jonathan Armes at Capital Shift invited me to have a conversation exploring the topic of “Transforming Setbacks into Success” and he’s given me permission to share the full recording with you. We took a deep dive into something that affects us all: how we deal with setbacks in life and work, and what changes when we really understand how our mind works. So whether you're facing a challenge right now or want to support someone who is (friend, client, colleague or loved one), this was created with you in mind. Here’s some of what we covered: - Why obstacles are often just stepping stones—raw material for your transformation. - Why insight beats positive thinking every time (real breakthroughs come from fresh perspectives, not just pushing harder). - How to break free from victimhood, remember who you really are, and move through setbacks with more freedom and flow.

#130 - Aligning your Ego with your True Self
28/02/2025 Duración: 09minThis week, I’d love to share a clip from a recent masterclass exploring how our everyday personality can align with who we truly are. Here’s what’s inside: - Why the spark of who you really are never disappears, no matter how disconnected you feel. - Seeing beyond old illusions of ugliness or brokenness within. - A simple shift that lines up your personality with peace and possibility. - An illuminating diagram (courtesy of my beloved Emma McDevitt) highlighting the relationship between the truth of our being, our unique qualities and our ego identity. If you’re listening to the audio version and want to see the diagram, you can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/4eJbNoZ2yB8 “You might call it source energy, or god, or divine intelligence… Bohm calls it the implicate order [...[ Your soul or spirit - however you wanna think about it - that’s a local instantiation in you of that universal divinity.” Tons of love, Jamie

#127 - COACHING DEMO: Courage, Imposter Syndrome, and Following Your Heart
31/01/2025 Duración: 24minEarlier this month, I had the privilege of speaking at a Masterclass hosted by my dear friend Simon Paine, co-founder of the Rebel Business School. Simon is a Clarity Coach and a successful entrepreneur in his own right, and it’s always a pleasure to speak with his community. One of the highlights of the session was a live coaching demo I did with Evie, who shared her struggles with imposter syndrome and her dream of stepping into her full potential. What unfolded was one of those transformative conversations that cuts through noise and gets to the heart of what really holds us back - and what’s possible when we trust the wisdom within. In this week’s podcast episode, you’ll discover: Why imposter syndrome is nothing more than a case of mistaken identity - and how to see past it.

After our session, Evie sent me a heartfelt email about her experience. With he

#126 - Vision, Purpose, and Goals: What Does Life Want You to Bring Into Being?
24/01/2025 Duración: 08minThis week, I’m sharing a reflection on a topic that’s fascinated me for a long time: vision, purpose, and the question of goals. Once we come into contact with the principles understanding, many of us discover that happiness isn’t tied to achieving goals, and this realization can be incredibly freeing. But sometimes, we risk throwing the baby out with the bathwater, thinking that if life doesn’t need to look a certain way for us to be okay, then goals don’t matter at all. It turns out that (as with most things) there are subtleties at play here. In this session, I explore: Why your dreams, heart’s desires, and creative impulses are a vital expression of life itself. How honoring your purpose and collaborating with life can lead to clarity and direction in surprising ways. A recent breakthrough my team and I had when we reconnected with the wisdom and intelligence within us—and how it’s shaping our work. It turns out that when it comes to the goals that are deeply aligned with who you most truly are a

#125 - How Do You Know It’s True? Putting the Principles to the Test
17/01/2025 Duración: 10minA while ago, I was asked a bold question: “How do you know that people have innate health and wellbeing? How do you know this is true?” It’s a question I’ve spent years exploring, and here’s the thing: There are no sacred cows in this understanding. If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll know I often reference the principles behind clarity. These principles don’t require belief or blind faith—if they’re “true” then they should be there to be seen, so they’re fair game to be tested, questioned, and explored deeply. This week’s podcast episode is all about that. It’s an extract from a call in one of my advanced programs, where we explore: The two ways I’ve come to know these principles are true—through personal insight and universal application. A powerful story that illustrates how realization can instantly align us with reality. Why the principles of clarity, wellbeing, and resilience aren’t just ideas—they’re foundational truths that hold up to scrutiny. I hope this extract inspires you to test the

#124 - Get Unstuck and On-Track
09/01/2025 Duración: 10minYou’ve probably heard me say this before: the two most important things a person can realize are: How your experience is created Who you really are During a recent event, “Get Unstuck and On-Track,” I shared how these insights apply directly to breaking free from feeling stuck and moving forward with clarity. Why misunderstandings about where your experience comes from keep you stuck. How reconnecting to who you really are can bring the clarity, freedom, and ease to get back on track. A simple yet powerful formula for unsticking yourself (it’s easier than you might think). If you’ve ever felt like something is holding you back - whether it’s in your work, relationships, or life - this episode will give you a fresh perspective that can make all the difference. Tons of love, Jamie PS - Thanks to Roberto Talarico for organizing this online event!
