Spirit of Enquiry: Wellbeing Conversations for Change

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful metaphor from Chapter 11 of my book - Traffic Lights for the Mind.We all know traffic lights. We see them every day, and they can become your reminder to drop out of mental overwhelm and back into present moment awareness.The three lights as a practical navigation system:- Red Light (STOP)- Recognising when you’re caught in the speeding mind- Yellow Light (WAIT)- The pause where conscious, mindful moments become possible- Green Light (GO)- Operating from the quieter, clearer space of present moment awarenessWhen you’re feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed during your day, the traffic lights offer an immediate way back to what’s actually here right now. Not another technique to master, but a simple visual reminder that’s already everywhere around you.This isn’t about controlling your thoughts or forcing yourself to be calm. It’s about recognising what’s happening and allowing your system to naturally downshift from reactive mode to responsive presence.Your real excellence doesn’t live in multitasking or managing everything at once - it lives in the full presence you bring to whatever’s right in front of you. When you operate from present moment awareness rather than scattered thinking, you naturally access clarity, better decisions, and more effective action.Let traffic lights be your reminder this week. When you’re at a red light (physically or mentally) feeling rushed or tense, notice that’s your cue - pause, breathe, and feel into what’s here in this precise moment.Life is just this one breath, one step at a time.

What if business and life could unfold effortlessly - not as something you create, but as something you simply allow? In this conversation, I sit down with Brigette van Tuijl, who works with women entrepreneurs tired of the endless cycle of self-improvement and the pressure to constantly “be on.”Brigette shares her journey from believing she had to make everything happen - to discovering that life already flows beautifully when we stop getting in the way. We explore how resonance, not strategy, draws the right people to our work, why words can never fully capture what we’re pointing to (especially in non-dual spaces), and the simple power of just being here now.Key insights from our conversation:• Why trying to achieve inner peace can become another trap• How successful women can step off the treadmill of constant doing• The difference between creating flow and allowing what’s already flowing• Why your thoughts don’t mean what you think they mean• How to trust the effortless unfolding of business and lifeWhether you’re carrying too much, feeling stuck in old patterns of achievement, or curious about what lies beneath the mental noise, this episode offers a gentle invitation to remember what you already know.Connect with Brigette here:https://brigittevantuijl.com/Visit Suzie’s work at:https://www.sychangecoach.com for coaching and resources.Email any feedback or questions on the podcast or this episode to: [email protected] - I’d love to hear from you.Remember - life is already happening effortlessly. Sometimes we just need to stop trying so hard to make it work.

Lorna came to coaching during one of the hardest, most challenging chapters of her life. The pressures didn’t let up. The circumstances didn’t magically improve. On the surface, nothing changed.And yet - everything did.In this deeply honest conversation, Lorna shares how she let go of the pressure to fix it all and discovered a quieter strength. A new way of being with herself, and a deep sense of peace - even when life was still hard.We explore what real transformation looks like when it’s not about doing more, but seeing differently.This isn’t traditional coaching. It’s not therapy either. It’s something simpler, deeper - and profoundly life-changing.If you’re navigating emotional overwhelm, burnout, or the hidden cost of always coping, this episode is for you.We talk about:Emotional resilienceHealing without fixingAnd the powerful ripple effect when one woman finds clarity within herself.I hope you enjoy this episode about the real possibility of change.
