This podcast series explores a game-changing understanding of the human mind that can exponentially increase the performance, resourcefulness and well-being for any individual or organisation.

In this episode Piers chats with fellow coach Helen Amery. They discuss the common, but misunderstood topic of disillusionment. Usually we think it’s terrible to be in a state of confusion or disappointment about life when in fact these times provide the perfect opportunity to discover something new and fresh. If you’re asking these questions - Is this it? Does it have to be this hard? - then this episode is for you.

We talk about:

  • How we can normalise a low level of satisfaction with life and become 'comfortably numb', before we get more aware of being disillusioned with our lives
  • What is going on when you aren't feeling connected and loving life?
  • How your lifestyle and circumstances are never actually causing your disillusionment with life - it just really looks like they are

How we confuse what is a brick and what is jelly.....(jelly & bricks - yes,really!)

  • How we become limited by our imaginations about what is possible
  • The illusion of being trapped by our need for a certain lifestyle and money
  • How, once we understand what’s going on, we see we have infinite possibilities, including staying with the exact life we already have but with a deeper sense of contentment and joy.
