Spirit of Enquiry: Wellbeing Conversations for Change

Fifty episodes of looking directly at experience - with an open mind and curiosity - to see what’s actually here. All episodes have been pointing at the same thing: that beneath the relentless thinking, the worry, the roles we carry and the pressure to get everything right - something was always quietly fine. And once you see that, the project of managing, fixing and improving yourself starts to look a little different.In this milestone episode I go deep into identity - what it actually is, why it feels so solid, and what’s here when we stop mistaking it for the truth of who we are. Not as a philosophical concept, but as something you can feel right now, if you’re willing to look.If you’re holding everything together for aging parents, your kids and your work - and wondering why it feels so heavy - this one’s for you. The roles, the labels, the capable one, the one who sorts things out - we mistake that habit of thought for who we are. And then spend years managing, fixing and improving something that was never quite as solid as it felt!This episode looks at how the wellness industry has pointed us in the wrong direction, what neuroscience and physics tell us about the apparent solidity of the self, and what’s quietly here when the mental management falls away.You don’t need to shift your identity. You just need to see that it was never fixed in the first place.🎙️ New here?

Most of us spend a surprising amount of life on autopilot - replaying the past, predicting the future, missing the moment we’re actually in. In this episode, I walk through the POINT model in full: my approach to presence, awareness, and mental clarity that sits at the heart of my work and my book, The Point of Now.This isn’t mindfulness as a technique, or another set of tools to add to your already-full life. It’s a recognition that now is the only place life actually happens - and that genuine presence doesn’t have to be effortful or elusive.Whether you’re new here or have been following for a while, this episode gives you a clear, unhurried look at what The Point™ actually is and how it works - no jargon or performance, just a quiet and direct conversation about what it means to be here.If you’ve found mindfulness hard to practise, spiritual content increasingly hard to trust, or simply want something grounded and real - this one’s for you.📧 Email me directly here: [email protected]📕 Buy my book, ‘The Point of Now’, here:https://amzn.eu/d/5fyskTl🔻The episode cover art shows the point visual, which this episode speaks through. 

Neuroscience is fascinating - neuroplasticity, epigenetics, how the body holds patterns. Multi-day retreats and deep processing work can transform lives. But what if there’s something simpler beneath it all?This episode explores why presence isn’t something you achieve after processing everything - it’s available right now through direct recognition.The past exists only in this moment’s thinking.  Mental busyness keeps patterns alive by rehearsing and re-performing them. The shift happens when you notice: “Am I here, or am I in my head in thoughts and imagination?”For clients who’ve done all the practices but can’t live what they know - this simple recognition is usually what’s missing.Every moment is genuinely unknown and unique. The Point is noticing that, rather than trying to make it safe through mental time-travelling.The Point of now is the smallest moment but the greatest doorway - and it’s always open.Next episode: Why discernment is your greatest superpower - how to recognise the difference between direct experience and the story your mind adds.Contact me by email here: [email protected]

I still forget and catch myself closing - contracting around a situation rather than meeting it with presence. The Point isn’t something I’ve mastered, it’s something I keep returning to.In this episode I share how The Point shows up in the middle of real life: the pressure to be consistent with this podcast, chaotic school run mornings with two teenage boys, and what actually helps when someone’s already stressed and gets shouted at for being late.I also look at the suggestion that kindness makes you a weak leader - and why I think that misses something fundamental. Real kindness isn’t softness or people-pleasing. From presence, you can be kind and direct, kind and let someone go, kind and say no. It’s not a strategy. It’s what naturally comes when you’re not operating from self-protection, or the need to be seen a certain way - when you’re simply responding to what’s actually here.The challenges don’t disappear. But how we meet them changes everything.🎙️ New to The Point?

In this episode of The Spirit of Enquiry, I explore AI - not from a “good or bad” perspective, but as an invitation to notice how we meet uncertainty itself.Like many people, I’ve felt a subtle sense of concern about AI - particularly around work, jobs, and the pace of change. But as I noticed my own moment of contraction and threat-based thinking, I realised this is the same human pattern that shows up whenever we encounter something uncertain or thats seems uncontrollable.This episode is an exploration of what becomes available when we slow down, open, and step out of fear-based mental management - and how AI may actually be pointing us back to what is uniquely human.Rather than trying to outthink or compete with machines, I invite you to consider what AI can’t do: be present, feel connection, access inner intelligence, and respond wisely in the moment.We look at how fear narrows perspective, how the mind’s “operating system” goes into autopilot, and why continuous optimisation has diminishing returns - both individually and collectively.This conversation isn’t about bypassing real concerns or pretending change isn’t happening. It’s about staying open and curious in the face of disruption, and recognising that fear and tension are signals - not the whole truth.AI may be advancing regardless, but how we meet that change makes all the difference.In this episode, we explore: • Why AI often triggers fear and threat-based thinking • What happens when the mind contracts around uncertainty • The “spotlight of attention” and the operating system of the mind • Why mental management can’t solve everything • AI as a possible invitation away from over-optimisation • The difference between the map and the territory • What remains irreplaceable about being human • How presence, curiosity, and openness create wiser responses • Why fear and stress are information, not the whole truthIf you’d like to explore this work more deeply, my book The Point of Now expands on these ideas, and how we meet uncertainty without being limited by fear. And if you have questions or reflections, I’d love to hear from you - you’re welcome to reach out and continue the conversation:📩 Email me directly at: [email protected]

In this episode, we explore the paradox of language - how the words you speak to yourself (and others) create real physical changes in the body, and yet how they also don’t have inherent meaning.Discover:- Harvard Medical School research showing how self-talk reduces inflammation and changes your nervous system- Why the placebo effect proves words can be more powerful than drugs- The difference between positive affirmations (another technique to try) and recognition (noticing what’s actually here)- How “should” language creates stress and pressure- A practical invitation for the holiday season: notice the expectations you’re carrying about ChristmasThe invitation isn’t to control your self-talk - it’s to notice it, feel its effect, and return to present moment awareness. To allow what is rather than fight it with words. Your body hears everything your mind says.Perfect for anyone struggling with inner criticism, holiday stress, anxiety, overwhelm, or looking to understand the mind-body connection, nervous system regulation, and presence.Wishing you presence, ease and joy this Christmas (and in each moment!)Thanks for listening.

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.

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.

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.

You’ve been told the wrong change equation.Most change models say:New habit + Better mindset + Daily discipline = Change.But here’s what actually changes people:Clarity – Noise = Transformation.Not more effort.

Why doesn’t mindset work, work?That’s the topic of this solo episode.It’s not because you’re doing mindset work wrong. But because maybe mindset was never the thing to fix in the first place.In under 6 minutes, I consider what really shifts things - without trying to think better thoughts.It’s not about managing the mind.It’s about seeing through it.The moment you stop trying to fix yourself is often the moment clarity arrives.This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, frustrated, or exhausted by the inner hamster wheel.You’re not broken. You’re just missing the point.And the good news is, the point is already here🔻- as discussed in the episode. If this resonates, please share it with someone tired of trying to fix themselves.

We often think of leadership as a title, but what if it’s simply the way we meet each moment? Whether we’re at work, with family, or just navigating life, we are always leading with our ‘come from.’ Everyone is leading in some way, whether they recognise it or not. Leadership isn’t just for CEOs or parents; it’s how we show up in every interaction.Our state of mind shapes how we influence others. When we’re caught in fear or insecurity, we transmit that. When we’re clear, we inspire clarity in others.Today, my guest Kate Adey and I explore leadership from clarity - how it shows up naturally when we’re not caught in personal thinking. This conversation helps us to have more ease in any interaction, so it goes beyond leadership in the traditional sense - it’s for everyone.You can contact Kate here (website & assessment call links): https://www.kateadey.co.uk/https://www.kateadey.co.uk/chaos-to-clarity/ I hope you enjoy this conversation, as always, I’d love to hearyour feedback:Email me at [email protected] can follow me on LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzie-yeulett

What if peace of mind was simpler than you thought? What if the clarity, ease, and flow you’re searching for were already here - beneath all the overthinking and struggle?In a world of overwhelm and division, The Spirit of Enquiry is an invitation to explore life more deeply - beyond conditioned thinking and surface-level opinions - toward the hidden simplicity at the heart of it all.Join me, Suzie Yeulett, a Change Coach, as I share both solo episodes and inspiring conversations with guests - coaches, educators, and thought leaders - who are exploring what happens when we let go of mental noise and see life with fresh eyes.Whether you’re feeling stuck in your thoughts, searching for more presence, or simply curious about a different way of seeing life, this podcast offers an open, agenda-free space to reflect, question, and uncover a more natural sense of ease.🎧 Start with Episode One: The Point and let’s begin.🔗 Connect with me here:Website: http://www.sychangecoach.comEmail: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzie-yeulettInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suzie.changecoachInsight Timer: https://insig.ht/5eSL6vrUZRb?utm_source=copy_link&utm_medium=content

We spend so much of our lives trying to strengthen and secure an idea of ourselves - our identity, our sense of self. But what if the person you’re trying so hard to fix, improve, or protect… doesn’t actually exist?In this deep and liberating conversation, I’m joined by Daniela Sulek to explore the profound simplicity of BEING present awareness - and how this ends all suffering.This isn’t about mindset tricks or surface-level positivity. It’s not about adding anything to yourself. It’s about seeing what’s already true:✨ Why suffering exists only when we believe we are our thoughts and emotions✨ How realizing your true nature dissolves struggle effortlessly✨ Why security isn’t found in strengthening an identity but in seeing beyond itIf you’ve ever felt like you’re endlessly working on yourself but never quite arriving - this episode is for you.Let me know what resonates most with you.

In this short, solo episode I talk about consciousness and manifestation and how I see these right now. The developments in quantum physics help us to understand consciousness more than ever before. This leads naturally to the subject of manifestation and I explore both in simple terms. Our thoughts and moods are just filters, not actual reality. Like matter at the smallest level, thoughts and moods change by nature, so we can take them less seriously, or as absolute truth. Unlimited potential is available, beyond the mind’s limits. If you have any comments or questions, I’d love to hear from you, via my website or email: www.sychangecoach.com [email protected]

Andrew Sewell joins me in this episode to talk about Overthinking. It’s a very powerful exercise to slow down and look at: - what thinking is - whether it’s useful - what this enquiry can tell us (or point to) Most of the clients we see have big break throughs and transform how they see or experience their life and work by enquiring into this subject.

In this solo, one year anniversary episode, I reflect and enquire into the extent we’re being lived, or how much we’re actually ‘doing’ the living.

I’m joined by Dr Giles P Croft in this episode. He’s a psychology graduate and former NHS surgeon, who stepped aside from clinical practice and since 2018 has been helping people to rediscover their ‘Innate Health’ as a coach, trainer and writer. We talk about: how innate health and wellbeing is our natural state; always available when we slow down and get curious in the moment How there’s nothing missing or to do, it’s more about understanding or seeing something new and how everything is unknown and out of our control (and why this subtractive approach is so freeing and helpful.) Giles writes a “Daily Reminders” newsletter, that points people back to their innate health, which you can sign up to via his website here: https://gilespcroft.com/newsletter I hope you enjoy this episode.

Coaching and training can sometimes feel obligatory at work. Transformational coaching however can unexpectedly impact work and life pervasively, changing everything around how you experience life. Wyn Morgan joins me today with 25 years of coaching experience and shares how this can look in business and in life. We discuss how coaching can help with Change Management and Growth at work, but also more broadly personally and professionally. We talk about the universal way the human mind really works, which is often misunderstood. Curiosity and slowing down to look at this more deeply reveals a new and lighter way of being in the World, irrespective of experience. It’s truly transformational. You can find out more about Wyn here: http://www.wynning.co.uk/ If you enjoy this episode or have any questions about my coaching or the topics discussed, please let me know (or even consider leaving a review!) via my website: https://www.sychangecoach.com/work-with-me

Jess coaches parents and teens, and others, and is a Speech Language Pathologist, so has worked with children her whole career. We journey through the life of a child in this episode, sharing our experiences, along with what we’ve learned about life and our design more broadly through our coaching work. We share a direction to look in, rather than how to’s, which can consequently help with any area of life - it’s simple, but profoundly helpful. I hope you enjoy this episode.

Katrijn van Oudheusden joined me for this episode on non-duality. I love how direct and clear Kat is about this sometimes hard to grasp topic. I find it fascinating and hope you’ll be curious and open as you listen. Kat is the author of 3 books on non-duality. In this episode we talk about each of her books and what she’s pointing to: 1) Selfless Leadership - a self-coaching journey to selfless leadership, with insights and practices to guide you. 2) Beyond Illusion - insights from neuroscience, philosophy and ancient wisdom such as Buddhism, to reveal the illusion of the seperate self. 3) Seeing No Self - 33 essential inquiries that reveal our non-dual nature. I hope you enjoy the episode. You can find all books discussed here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Katrijn-Van-Oudheusden/author/B09JFJ8N67

Piers Thurston joined me this week on the podcast to talk about the value of the ‘Quality of Mind’ understanding in business. We talk about what the understanding is, or what it points to, which is quite different to more traditional change or improvement type programmes. Plus how it can increase performance and well-being in any business or organisation. We talk about the self, as an entity, being an illusion and how seeing this directly offers so much freedom and more access to powerful innate resources. This can offer transformative benefits in life and business. You can see more about Piers and the Quality of Mind understanding at: https://qualityofmind.my.canva.site/intro-2-pages

In this episode I speak with Eliah Prichard, an emotions coach and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator. Eliah’s work is primarily around promoting healthy emotional regulation and emotional freedom. Her clients go from overwhelm and frustration, to being secure and empowered when it comes to their emotions. It’s an holistic practice towards healing - integrating the body, mind, emotions and belief. I think it’s very powerful and could help anyone. Find Eliah on Instragram @kaleidos.cope or her website: www.kaleidos-cope.com

Dr Kathleen Perry and I talk about grief and loss, perhaps in an unexpected way. I hope this episode can offer some reassurance to anyone facing loss. Grief is something we will all experience in life and we both found our losses expansive and an opportunity for personal reflection and growth. See drkathleenperry.com for information on Kathleen’s ‘Explorer's Club’ membership and more about her work.

Lily shares her personal experience of panic attacks, derealisation and health and food anxiety/ obsessive compulsions. This episode will be helpful to anyone navigating any of these and offers a simple and very hopeful discussion.

Lily is a coach with a community offering extensive support on all these issues - find her on Instagram: @_peacefromwithin

My special guest today shares the inspiring story of her work in the UK prison system over the past 10 years. Jacqueline Hollows, coach and author of “Wing of an Angel” offers hope for true rehabilitation and a scalable model of change. The prison residents who are impacted by her program often go on to share and teach others, causing a ripple effect. Her work uncovers the human potential available to everyone, when we recognise how we all really operate. It takes one simple realisation, or insight, to change your life in the moment. Her message is empowering for us all. Anyone can have an impact, simply by being present with another human and sharing unconditional love and hope over fear.

My special guest, Dr Amy Johnson, has been a Change Coach (specifically) for over 15 years and helps people end unwanted habits and anxiety, without relying on willpower. We talk about how being curious and really feeling into what’s arising is the paradoxical way real and lasting change occurs. We talk about anxiety and habits as examples, but what we discuss can help with any apparent personal problem or obstacle. See Amy’s website https://dramyjohnson.com for details of her courses and lots of helpful resources.

How understanding the True Power of Now can help with work and life efficiency - empowering us to overcome any blocks or obstacles and to have a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. In this episode, I discuss the freedom from understanding this in overcoming: the need for validation, perfectionism, procrastination and imposter syndrome. As well as the clarity, efficiency and creativity it allows.

Life reveals itself to us, moment by moment. And yet, we think we need to help the process or even drive it. If every moment is a fresh and new reveal, we can ‘let go’ of the driving and steering. I explore this and how it’s helpful to simply notice, or be more mindful, in the moment.

Water doesn’t resist, it flows. Life is fluid in the same way. We are part of this flow of life, but we don’t always consider this. When we allow life to flow freely, allowing each moment of reality to be as it is, we mentally suffer less. Listen in to hear how this is the case and hopefully you’ll feel some freedom or lightness.

Being ok with the unknown is beneficial and healthy. Since ANYTHING can happen next, the unknown could be seen as exciting and full of potential (rather than as uncomfortable or scary.) Our awareness and mental attention is the differentiator and this is what I talk about in this episode.

Awareness of our emotional regulation, in the moment, is so helpful and healthy in life. If we pause, or become mindful of the tiny gap between a circumstance and our reaction, we can respond more mindfully, rather than react in an automatic instant. This is healthy, expansive and allows for better connections with others.

In exploring life more deeply, eventually something can loosen and we can become more open and trusting of life and our design. Join me as I share some things to consider and examples to play with. I point to how we can take life, and ourselves, less seriously, which is freeing and helpful in any eventuality.

What if you’re not broken and don’t need fixing? If we explore and become more aware of our deeper nature, we can see that mental health and well-being is our natural state, before the habitual, personal mind obscures this.

Thought is invisible, so we don’t always appreciate the power of thought. It’s helpful to explore this, since it can be misunderstood and misused. Better awareness and understanding of how thought creates our experience can help you to have a better lived experience, moment to moment!
