Upon reflection on this episode, I’m really focusing on digging deeper into finding out who I am. What is my identity? What is linked to my identity and why? Are there parts of me that need to be acknowledged and released? Not saying I have all the answers but sometimes it’s more about asking the right questions. Big thanks to Dr. Wendy Mahoney for being on the show. 🙏

Are you moving towards something, or just running away from something?
A lot of “ambition” is really validation in disguise.

Dr. Wendy Mahoney spoke about valuing your uniqueness before chasing belonging. This was a major reflection point for me in the days after recording. Maybe the real work isn’t pushing harder.
Maybe it’s getting still enough to hear what’s actually driving you.

If you’re the ambitious type and struggle to switch off, this episode is for you. Episodes drops Monday 12 October on all major podcast platforms.

1. A portion of self evolution is grief. Grieving for parts of the self you need to leave behind.
2. We take for granted the implementation and necessity for record keeping of our own existence.
3. Just like different plants thrive in different seasons, so should different parts of you thrive in different conditions.
4. Yoshuku- The Japanese practice of combining our wishes with a prayer of appreciation and an act of celebration.
5. Your brain is wired to choose familiar pain over unfamiliar success.
6. You don’t need permission to protect a life you are responsible for.
7. We share stories because it will either change the way you see your life; or remind you that you’re not alone.

1. The deepest stories represent the most absolute characterizations.
2. Anxiety is the habit of forecasting the worst possible outcome with scarce evidence to substantiate that claim.
3. Context is a stronger predictor of behaviour than character.
4. Perception = Believing is seeing.
5. If you don’t define success for you, you will play by the definition of others.
6. Simultaneous social density and social isolation = mental illness.
7. YĆ«gen- A Japanese term used to describe something so profound it’s beyond expression.

When someone you love dies, it doesn’t just feel like loss. It feels like your whole past, future, and identity collapse at once. Melinda Ferguson puts it so clearly. Intimate grief doesn’t just break your heart, it changes your place in the world.

Your memories shift because the person you shared them with is gone.

Your future changes because the life you imagined no longer exists.

Your identity changes because who you were to them also has to change.

That’s why grief can feel like dying more than once.If this landed for you, send it to someone who gets it. đŸ€

Full episode in bio.

This was a taken three and a half years ago when I pulled the trigger on something I procrastinated on for 5 years! Today I reflect on 100 episodes of the The Xpect Performance Podcast . Stoked!

During that time, the show hit top 10% of video podcasts globally on Spotify in 2024 and 2025. Also during that time, I hacked away at learning how to use Adobe Premiere Pro from scratch. I uploaded files onto the major platforms in the early hours of Monday morning because my laptop ran out of space at the first attempt after 3 hours😂. There were times when I had to record solo episodes because I couldn’t find a guest in time. I’ve laughed, I’ve cried, I’ve doubted and I’ve celebrated, sometimes all in the same episode đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž. There have been times when I questioned if a recording was worthy of putting it out there and it’s been a smash hit and others I thought were gold that have under 20 listens.

Thank you so much for listening and engaging. What a wild ride.

EPISODE 100đŸ„ł Big thanks to Melinda Ferguson for being on the show to talk about all her incredible books including her latest memoir Swift.

Our individual capacity for good and evil is an eternal dual. Throughout history, this archetypal story is represented in every culture and religion across time, as we continually wrestle with this tension.
