The Rock Bottom Podcast by Kieran Sauboorah

In this episode I discuss how you're either resenting what you do or you are enjoying it with the momentum you have. This episode was as much for me as it was to share. It's a reminder that life is about perspective and everyone has these challenges. Choose momentum over resentment. 

In this episode I warned everyone about going off on a tangent as there are many ways we can speak about stress. Today's episode is less about the science and more about how 7/10 people live in a state of stress without knowing. They have normalised it. Meaning they don't even know that they're stressed...

In this episode I reveal my new nickname: Half Ass Kieran. The boulder did some damage and I definitely came off second best. But in amongst that redefining moment, not having the body I once had taught me more than I could have ever imagined... 

In this episode I discuss the principles around challenge. I speak about the ways in which seeking out new challenges (voluntarily) allows us to deal with life's involuntary challenges way easier. I discuss the 4 squares of success and failure and how it pretty much sums up human psychology. I covered a small part of the topic around neural plasticity (the rewiring of our brain), and how new actions and new experiences when seeking out these challenges, can slowly start to create new pathways within our brain. I threw in a nice little analogy with this to (hopefully) help you understand. If you are looking for growth and you are bored of the monotony of day to day life, feeling stuck, tired and unfulfilled, this will be a worthwhile listen.

In this episode covers the notion of uncertainty. It covers the topic of introspection and how going inwards, pausing, breathing and reflecting, can be the most powerful tool for making good decisions. Additionally, how our need to control things makes us worry, stress and attach a negative connotation to future outcomes. I share some insights on letting go, and how we hold on to things that weigh us down. I share one of my favourite analogies for this. Through the discussion of uncertainty, I highlight parts of our neurological function that depicts our ability to be less emotionally reactive and be more rational, analytical and controlled in our choices. By the end of this episode you should have some tools and insights that get you thinking deeper, more critical and with more clarity. 

My Rock Bottom Story - most people will think this podcast is about being rock bottom, however the title came from a life changing event. Not just any life changing event, but one where I nearly lost my life. I was actually underneath a rock after falling 20 feet from it first hitting me in my head. Now, I say a rock... it was more like a 200-250kg boulder. Yes, the boulder hit me on my head and after I fell down the mountain, it then continued to roll down the path until it was on top of me. In this episode you will here the in depth version of the day that changed my life.
