"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

#84 - COACHING DEMO: Courage, Imposter Syndrome, and Following Your Heart 24:39

8 weeks ago24:39

24:39

Earlier 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. The truth about fear and courage How to uncover the path life is calling you to take (the one your heart already knows), even when your head doubts it. After our session, Evie sent me a heartfelt email about her experience. With her permission, here’s what she shared: Hi Jamie I just wanted to drop a personal thank you for yesterday's Master Transformational Impact session via Rebel Business School. Whilst I found the whole session to be inspirational, the one on one section did exactly as it said on the tin. I've awoken today with a released sense of clarity and purpose. So much of what you spoke about resonated deeply with me, and our conversation cracked open something inside that I've been working on for a number of years. It felt as though in that held space I finally felt my heart take over from the negativity in my brain. It was powerful. So, thank you again. I am truly grateful for our conversation yesterday. Warmest wishes Evie Jones This episode is a chance to reconnect with your own inner wisdom and say yes to what life is calling you to create.

#83 - Vision, Purpose, and Goals: What Does Life Want You to Bring Into Being? 8:34

9 weeks ago8:34

8:34

This 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 and what you’re most inspired to create, there’s a perspective that can be profoundly helpful. That’s what we explore here: I hope it sparks fresh insights into how you approach your own vision, purpose, and goals. Tons of love, Jamie…

#82 - How Do You Know It’s True? Putting the Principles to the Test 10:58

10 weeks ago10:58

10:58

A 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 these principles for yourself - and see what emerges. Tons of love, Jamie…

#81 - Get Unstuck and On-Track 10:16

12 weeks ago10:16

10:16

You’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!…

21:35

I hope the new year is off to a wonderful start for you. This week, I’m sharing a coaching demo where Roberto opens up about a challenge many of us face: feeling disconnected in relationships and life. In this session, we explored: Why the experience of connection comes and goes What you can rely on that’s deeper and *always* present How resisting the feeling of disconnection can actually give it power The surprising insight that shifted Roberto’s perspective—and might shift yours, too If you’ve ever felt “out of connection” and judged yourself for it, this clip is a powerful reminder that both connection and disconnection are valuable signals. --- 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

#79 - DEMO: Your Gifts Are Needed: overcoming the fear of sharing your work 25:00

13 weeks ago25:00

25:00

This week, I’m sharing a powerful coaching demo from one of my group sessions that explores a challenge so many of us face: bringing our work into the world. In this clip, Tracey—a coach and author—shares her struggle with launching her book. Despite having written it, she feels stuck, held back by doubts like “ Does the world need another book ?” and fears about what might happen once it’s out there. What unfolded during our conversation reveals something essential for anyone wanting to share their gifts with the world: The connection between our fears and the very gifts we’re called to share. What to align with so you can unlock the energy to move forward. I also share one of my favorite poems that captures the essence of why your work matters. If you’ve ever hesitated to put yourself out there, I think you’ll find this episode relatable—and inspiring. I hope this demo reminds you that the world does need your gifts - and you have everything you need to share them. 🚀 Ready to Boost Your Coaching Impact?

#78 - Deep Enrollment: Aligning with What Truly Matters 7:21

14 weeks ago7:21

7:21

A few weeks ago, I asked a group of coaches what they most wanted to improve in their practice. The top answer? Getting better at enrolling clients. That’s why this week, I’m sharing a short extract from my ClarityPro programme, where we dive into what I call Deep Enrollment. Deep Enrollment isn’t just about ‘signing people up’—it’s about connecting with something else entirely… An ‘X-factor’ that’s deeply authentic, profound and highly motivating. Because let’s face it; if someone’s going to invest their time, their money and their energy in working with you at a deep level, it’s got to be for something that really matters to them. And here’s the most surprising aspect of it: you need to eat your own cooking first. Before you can ‘deeply enroll’ your client, you need to deeply enroll yourself! In this episode, I share: The ‘X-factor’ that’s essential for enrolling clients at a deep level A personal story of how I hit a wall when trying to teach this concept—and the realization that got me unstuck. Simple yet profound questions to help you uncover what truly matters. How aligning with your own heartfelt desires can transform the way you connect with clients. Enjoy the episode!
