It's kind of strange to be human...We move through life with all of these patterns, reactions, fears, longings, defences and desires operating inside us — and so often we think they are us. We try to fix ourselves, improve ourselves, analyse ourselves, shame ourselves, and somehow become the kind of person who never struggles, never reacts, never gets triggered, never feels messy.But what if there was another way?In this episode, I speak with Carey Davidson, author of The Five Archetypes, about an ancient map of human nature rooted in the five elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.Carey explains that we all carry these five archetypes within us. They are not simply personality types, but living patterns of body, mind, emotion, relationship and spirit. Each of us has one primary element — a gift, an Achilles heel, and a doorway into deeper self-understanding.For Carey, and the people she works with, discovering this primary element brings transformation and relief: a way to stop fixing oneself, understand our patterns, and meet them with more humour, compassion and freedom.In this episode, we explore how we can see ourselves more clearly, stop identifying so tightly with our patterns, and return to balance so we can grow spiritually in our own unique way. Take the 5 archetypes questionnaire : https://www.fivearchetypes.com/questionnaire/More from Carey: https://www.fivearchetypes.com/More from Cian: https://www.humankinder.com.au/Cian’s work with the Soul Alignment Method and upcoming Remember your Soul Purpose course: https://thesoulalignmentmethod.com/remember-soul-purpose-course

What if your purpose is not something you need to find, but something you are here to remember?I sit down with Soul Alignment Method founder Myles Treanor and psychotherapist Shane Murphy to explore soul purpose, spiritual alignment, and what it means to live from the light.As someone now training in and working with clients using the Soul Alignment Method, this conversation is close to my heart. It has changed the way I understand purpose, not as a vague idea or a career choice, but as something that can be felt, clarified, and lived through every part of life.Together, we explore how your soul purpose can express through your career, relationships, health, lifestyle, creativity, and service. We also speak about how your wounds are often connected to your gifts, and how the struggles we move through can become the very material we transform into healing, teaching, connection, and contribution.Shane shares his experience of moving from uncertainty into a life that feels more effortless and aligned. Myles shares the deeper philosophy and practical structure behind the method. And I share why, after years of psychological and spiritual work, this path helped me listen to something deeper within myself.If you feel like there is something more you are here to do, express, or become, the Soul Alignment Method is here for you. Our 6 week ‘Remember Your Soul Purpose Course’ starts on the 17th May 2026.

In this conversation, I sit down with Mark Edwards to explore what it really means to stay awake in ordinary life.Mark has spent decades working in high-level consulting, helping large organisations drive results and lead change, whilst also walking a deep inner spiritual path. What I loved about this conversation is that it refuses the false split between spirituality and the rest of life. We explore how the very conditions we often imagine are getting in the way - work, pressure, relationships, uncertainty, responsibility - are actually the most fertile ground for practice.Mark shares a beautiful framework for understanding his own journey through three phases: pre-belief, belief, and post-belief. We speak about the movement from striving for validation, to seeking spiritual frameworks, to slowly embodying a deeper way of being. We also explore self-love, awakening, leadership, and what it means to bring presence into systems that still need to function, perform, and meet the demands of everyday life.The deeper invitation of this conversation is simple: to stop waiting for a more spiritual life, and to begin meeting this one with more presence, honesty and love.More about Mark: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-edwards-consultant/More from Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderInterested in a Free/Donation based Purpose Blueprint session?

Modern dating has given us more options than ever, yet many people feel more disconnected, burnt out, and frustrated than ever before.In this episode, I’m joined by Ilana Orlievsky and Esha Thaper, founders of The List, a curated group of people who want to meet other intentional, emotionally-aware people for connections, romance, or something more meaningful. We explore why so many conscious, kind, successful people are struggling to find meaningful connection in a world shaped by dating apps, endless choice, and misleading identities.This episode is about creating a space for love to thrive, both internally and externally. We talk about why real connection cannot be optimised, why self-awareness and vulnerability matter so much in dating, and why the future of dating may depend on getting back to real-life human connection.You’ll leave with a fresh frame for dating and practical things you can try this week.Learn more about The List: https://www.jointhelist.co/More from Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderShow Notes00:00 AI Matchmaking Myth01:13 Welcome and Guests01:54 Modern Dating Crisis04:07 Who Is Affected07:45 Apps Changed Culture10:49 App Fatigue and Dehumanizing16:19 Using Apps Intentionally20:51 First Dates and Social Atrophy24:48 Grounded Dating Mindset29:56 Know Yourself and Needs35:13 Women Want vs Need38:45 Vulnerability and Feedback44:08 Advice for Men Today50:05 Bring Back Flirting55:22 Playful Flirting Abroad56:32 Friend Zone Transition57:53 Compliments And Date Setup01:02:23 Courting And Chivalry01:03:53 Touch Without Awkwardness01:10:57 Honest Rejection Not Ghosting01:14:53 Sex Myths And Porn Impact01:22:55 Better Bedroom Mindset\01:27:41 Why Build A Dating Community01:37:09 AI Dating Versus Real Life01:42:00 Hopeful Closing And Poem

What if the future of work is not just better strategy, better systems, or better leadership training, but a deeper shift in consciousness?In this conversation, I’m joined by Mirjana Boznovska to explore the quiet spiritual revolution unfolding inside our organisations. We speak about burnout, disengagement, and the growing sense that modern work is no longer nourishing the human spirit, and we ask what becomes possible when workplaces begin to value inner alignment, authenticity, self-awareness, and human connection as much as performance.Together, we explore the move from doing to being, the difference between external success and inner truth, and why so many people are exhausted from living and working in ways that are out of alignment with who they really are. We also look at self-awareness, self-responsibility, and self-leadership as practical foundations for a more human workplace.This is a conversation about work, but it is also a conversation about worth, authenticity, trust, surrender, and the possibility that organisations can become places of real healing, transformation, and awakening.More from Mirjana: https://onebeyondsuccess.com/Email: [email protected] More from Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderShow Notes00:00 Escaping the Doing Treadmill01:24 Capitalism’s Double Edge03:28 Burnout and Disconnection at Work05:49 Inside Out Future of Work11:13 Be Do Have Reversed15:31 Radical Responsibility and Goals18:33 Inner Audit and Guidance26:13 Fear Versus Alignment36:54 Radical Honesty at Work50:35 Self Love Without Conditions57:12 Responsibility Toward Others59:02 Authenticity Over Competition01:01:17 Human Connection In AI01:01:50 Authenticity Drives Results01:03:48 Self Determination Needs01:07:44 Needs As Inner Practice01:16:40 Trust And Surrender01:29:25 Personal Awakening Story01:38:56 Higher Power Connection01:44:53 Alignment In Workplaces01:48:15 Future Of Work Priorities01:49:59 Closing And ContactInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/human_kinder/Website: www.humankinder.com.au

There is one word that has inspired more love, more compassion, more division and more violence than almost any other: God.In this conversation, Matthew Gregoroski shares his deeply personal journey through faith, anxiety, loss, success, spiritual disillusionment, and ultimately, a direct inner experience of the divine. Growing up in apartheid South Africa as the son of a preacher, Matt was shaped by religion from an early age. But over time, inherited belief gave way to a deeper search: one that led him through suffering, questioning, meditation, and the longing to know God for himself.Together, we explore suffering, prayer, ego, forgiveness, awakening, and the possibility that beneath the many paths, traditions, and stories of humanity, there may be one truth waiting to be remembered.This is a conversation for anyone who has wrestled with faith, questioned religion, felt the ache of searching, or sensed that the answers we seek may be closer than we realise.Find out more about Matthew: https://www.themangotree.me/More on HumanKinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderChapters00:00 Cosmic Oneness Experience01:09 Why God Divides Us03:02 Childhood Nightmares and Prayer05:59 Strict Upbringing and Moral Compass13:28 Faith, Flaws, and Forgiveness17:15 Family Strain and Resilience22:34 Apartheid and Church Activism26:04 Talking in Tongues Explained32:11 Leaving Home and Corporate Success34:55 Thailand and Human Trafficking Wakeup38:34 Rock Bottom in Australia39:58 Transcendental Meditation Begins42:06 Retreat Euphoria and God Realisation48:21 Writing as Channelling and Faith54:17 What It Takes to Awaken56:34 Hunger for Fulfilment57:42 Meditation and Breathwork59:54 Prayer and Inner Practice01:03:34 God and Suffering01:08:06 Afterlife and Mediumship01:13:38 Chasing Spiritual Highs01:17:17 Ego and Daily Growth01:21:31 Forgiveness and Mandela01:28:56 Heaven Within01:41:21 Spirituality in Corporate Life01:49:13 Connect with Matt

There are so many words in the spiritual world. God. Soul. Manifestation. Karma. Awakening. We hear stories of mystical experiences, near-death encounters, higher dimensions and hidden laws of the universe. And somewhere along the way, it can all start to feel confusing.In this third conversation with Myles Traynor, we strip it back.We explore what he describes as the ultimate realisation about self and reality. The recognition that sits beneath every tradition, every mystical experience, every spiritual path. We talk about light, consciousness, incarnation, trauma, surrender, and what it actually means to awaken while still living an ordinary human life.Find out more about Myles: https://linktr.ee/mylestreanor?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareFind out more about Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareChapters00:00 Is God the Light?

Transformational leadership has been talked about for decades. We know what it looks like when we experience it. We know how it feels to be around someone who genuinely shifts a room, a team, or a culture. But what’s always been missing is a clear understanding of what it actually takes to become that kind of leader.In this conversation, I sit down again with Jude Martin Etuka to explore the findings of his PhD research into transformational leadership. Jude set out to study a gap that had largely been left unexplored. While transformational leadership has been well described, the inner work required to embody it was never clearly mapped.Drawing on his years as a monk, his research and work inside organisations, and his own lived experience, Jude shares the three hidden inner capacities that consistently show up in truly transformational leaders. We talk about pressure, surrender, spirituality in everyday work, and why leadership is a way of being before it is a skillset.As someone who’s spent years working as a leadership consultant, this conversation put language to things I’ve seen again and again in practice but rarely heard articulated so clearly.LinksConnect with Jude: https://jude-martin.com/Email: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jude-martin-etuka-4b396114/Connect with Cian: https://linktr.ee/humankinderInterested in a Free/Donation based Purpose Blueprint session?

Contact me via website: ⁠⁠www.humankinder.com.au⁠⁠There’s a lot of talk about spirituality these days, but much less honesty about what it’s actually like to live it.In this conversation, I sit down with Tim and Elise from Source 88 to explore the beautiful messy reality of a spiritual life. Not the polished version, but the lived one. The uncertainty, the responsibility, the discomfort, and the deep aliveness that comes when you stop choosing safety and start choosing truth.We talk about what happens when you stop numbing and start feeling. Why living in the mystery can be far more alive than staying in the comfort of what’s known. How breakdowns often become doorways. And why spirituality isn’t about escaping the world, but learning how to stay present inside it.This is a conversation about embodiment, honesty, and remembering who you are beneath conditioning and roles. About choosing aliveness over safety, even when it’s uncomfortable.To connect with Tim and Elise: https://www.source88.com.au/ or instagram https://www.instagram.com/source.88/More on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderShow Notes00:00: Debunking spiritual myths around love, light, and bypassing01:07: Introduction01:52: Tim and Elise’s journey into spirituality and healing05:03: Understanding vibration and embodied awareness07:37: Elise’s mental health awakening and breaking point11:44: Practical and grounded approaches to spiritual growth20:37: Breathwork and sound healing as embodied practices28:43: Exploring past lives and spiritual realms responsibly38:46: Facing cynicism while staying open to spirituality48:40: Daily practices for spiritual alignment and presence55:02: The dual nature of life, expansion and contraction55:24: Expansion and contraction explained through a jellyfish analogy55:46: Discernment, choice, and potentiality56:25: The spiritual journey and conscious creation58:37: Inner child work and reconnecting with soul purpose01:00:03: Healing childhood trauma through awareness01:03:51: The role of the soul in emotional and spiritual healing01:10:03: Channeling, intuition, and spiritual guidance01:20:17: What it really means to live a mystical life01:27:49: Trusting the universe and following inner signs01:32:21: Liberated living and grounded spiritual leadership01:40:18: Final reflections and encouragementInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/human_kinder/Website: www.humankinder.com.au

This meditation is practical companion to the conversation I shared with Martina: Listen here.It’s an invitation to slow down, come into the body, and create space for anything that might be quietly held underneath the surface. It's a chance to open the heart, listen and let the body do what it knows how to do.This meditation is especially supportive if you’re feeling stuck, heavy, or disconnected, or if the episode stirred something in you that you didn’t quite have words for.You don’t need any prior experience with meditation. Just a willingness to be with yourself as you are.To connect with Martina: https://www.celticheartandsoul.com.au/ or instagram https://www.instagram.com/celticheartsoul/Meditation Flow00:00: Introduction to breath awareness01:02: Connecting to your heart02:10: Grounding to Mother Earth04:21: Receiving and giving love06:43: Connecting to source08:22: Balancing and aligning energies10:35: Closing and groundingMore on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder

Many of us feel stuck at some point in life. We try to think our way out of it, push harder, or tell ourselves we should be more grateful. And when none of that works, it can start to feel personal.In this conversation, Martina and I explore what’s really going on underneath that feeling of being stuck. We talk about how unprocessed emotion lives in the body, how grief and loss can quietly shape our lives, and why so much of what we carry isn’t a personal failure, but a natural response to what we - and our ancestors - have been through.We speak about intuition, conditioning, the nervous system, and what happens when we stop trying to fix ourselves and start listening instead. Martina and I are both Irish, so this conversation may resonate especially with anyone carrying Irish ancestry, while still speaking to much broader human experiences.After we finished recording, Martina offered to do some healing work with me. During that session, a layer of blocked grief that I’d been carrying in my heart shifted in a way I didn’t expect. It felt important to share that here, because conversations on healing can feel theoretical whilst the experience is oh so very real.To connect with Martina: https://www.celticheartandsoul.com.au/ or instagram https://www.instagram.com/celticheartsoul/More on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder00:00 Episode Trailer01:03 Introduction - Quantum Mechanics and Energy Bodies02:35 Understanding Energy Healing and Conditioning04:58 The Role of Beliefs in Healing07:30 Mind-Body-Spirit Synergy14:07 Practical Applications of Energy Healing24:52 The Power of Intention and Higher Self Connection37:54 Ancestral Healing and Personal Transformation01:01:36 Questioning Happiness and Self-Discovery01:02:31 Understanding People Pleasing and Resentment01:03:18 The Pain of Letting Go and Deconditioning01:03:54 Questioning Life's Desires and Living Authentically01:04:52 Core Beliefs and Ancestral Healing01:06:14 Masculine and Feminine Dynamics in Healing01:07:23 Impact of the Feminist Movement on Gender Roles01:08:52 Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies01:11:17 Healing Through Inner Masculine and Feminine Work01:11:59 Challenges in Relationships and Self-Trust01:25:20 The Importance of Community and Work-Life Balance01:28:25 Envisioning a New World and Human Potential01:37:35 Leaving a Legacy Through Healing and Conscious Parenting01:42:25 Facing Fears and Embracing Freedom01:45:29 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Living Authentically01:47:38 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

This episode is a little different.I sat down with my dad for a quiet, honest conversation about life, people, and what he’s learned over 20 years as a leadership consultant and psychotherapist working with humans in all kinds of systems, families, and organisations.We talk about how people really work. Why behaviour makes sense when you understand what’s going on underneath. How emotions shape everything. Why conflict usually isn’t about the thing we think it is. And what happens when we stop trying to fix people and start learning how to understand them.Bart's approach has been extremely successful across both sport and business. In the Irish sporting world, he has worked closely with leading inter-county GAA managers, including Pat Gilroy, Mickey Harte, and Jack O’Connor, during periods that went on to produce multiple All-Ireland titles. His work has also extended into the business world, supporting some of Ireland's most senior and respected CEOs.Recording this felt meaningful. These are conversations I’ve been learning from my whole life, and I’m grateful to finally share one with you.More podcasts with Bart: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2NrnmJzsY8a97bcb5wNvk5?si=8eZcprWTSRWitAClDxzlZAMore on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderInterested in a Free/Donation based Purpose Blueprint session?

I sit down with David Flynn, co-founder of The Happy Pear, the global plant-based food and wellness brand, to explore what freedom, success, and purpose really look like, as he reflects on 21 years of The Happy Pear and what chasing dreams has taught him about living fully.We talk about the pressure to keep achieving, the quiet anxiety around purpose, and how real freedom doesn’t come from doing more, but from learning how to be with yourself as you are.Dave shares openly about presence, meditation, movement, community, and what it means to live a full life without postponing it for some future moment.This is a grounded, honest conversation about slowing down, letting go of the need to prove anything, and remembering what already matters. Dave speaks candidly about faith, fatherhood, doubt, and what success has really taught him, offering a side of himself that rarely comes through in conversations about food, business, or performance.More from Dave: https://thehappypear.ie/More on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderInterested in a Free/Donation based Purpose Blueprint session?

Tom shares how losing everything cracked him open, leading to a deeper understanding of purpose, pain, and presence.If you’ve ever experienced the nagging sensation that something in your life is “off” despite the external wins - this one’s for you.Find out more about Tom here: https://www.tomgriffin.co/For more on Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinderShow Notes00:00: The Illusion of Success: Tom Griffin's Story01:43: Introduction 03:00: The Nature of Happiness and Presence08:25: Exploring Consciousness and Reality18:15: The Journey of Awakening38:05: The Alchemy of Suffering52:00: The Practice of Presence01:03:16: The Illusion of Craving and Happiness01:04:04: Acceptance, Responsibility, and Curiosity01:04:56: The Nature of Reality and Self-Constructed Worlds01:06:58: The Journey Through Suffering01:08:10: The Role of Spiritual Practice01:11:48: Navigating Criticism and Personal Growth01:14:13: The Power of Perspective and Choice01:19:16: The Essence of Spiritual Practice01:20:51: The Intersection of Spirituality and Daily Life01:26:17: The Path to Conscious Living01:52:24: The Practice of Presence and Emptiness02:01:11: Closing Thoughts and Resources

One of the most crucial skills we need on the path is the ability to discern the guidance of our soul from that of our ego. This can be a tricky aspect to master, especially because many of us were told not to listen to our deep intuition.Maureen guides us on getting to know that inner voice so we can make decisions from a place of expansiveness rather than fear.

In this episode I sit down with Maureen McGonegle. Maureen is a Quantum Hypnosis Practitioner and intuitive coach who is on a mission to uncover what it really means to follow the guidance of your soul.Maureen shares how a moment of deep burnout in her corporate career led her to ask the question that changed everything: “Is this all there is?”That search opened the door to past-life regressions, cosmic remembrance, and a series of life changing shifts driven by the radical dedication to intuition and aligning daily choices with her higher purpose.We talk about how your future self is already guiding you through subtle signs, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and what it takes to live in harmony with your soul’s direction.Find out more about Maureen here.Find out more about Cian/Human Kinder here.

Welcome to The Human Kinder Podcast. This is a space for honest conversations about what it means to be human in a vast, mysterious universe. Who we are, how we grow, and how we find meaning in the middle of it all.I started this podcast because of my own journey through anxiety, searching, and eventually discovering practices and perspectives that are helping me trust life a little more. I don’t have all the answers, but I want to share the questions I’ve been living with and the lessons that have shaped me so far.Along the way, I’ll be sitting down with people who inspire me. Mystics, psychologists, researchers and teachers, through the lens that we are all humans seeking the truth about our reality. My dream is that these episodes leave you feeling more hopeful, more loving, and more inspired to pursue your own path. I believe that if each one of us achieves this then our species will evolve to be what we must become - Human Kinder.

A first step to knowing your true self is to recognise that you are not your thoughts, emotions or sensations. You are the space in which they are all arising to be known. This space is unchanging and uneffected. Jude guides us to experience this ever-present freedom. For more of Jude visit his website: https://www.jude-martin.com/

What does spending 7 years as a monk do a person? I sit down with Jude-Martin Etuka, whose journey has taken him from years in a Nigerian monastery to teaching mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and leadership in the modern world.We talk about what it means to really face suffering, how awareness can transform the way we live, and why self-leadership is at the heart of leading others. Jude shares openly about his own story, the silence, the struggles, and the practices that still guide him today.This is a conversation about presence, compassion, and learning to meet life as it is. Jude’s wisdom is both practical and deeply human, and it reminds us that growth often comes through what we’d rather avoid.Connect with Jude via his website: https://www.jude-martin.com/01:35 – Introducing Jude & his journey14:34 – Monastery life, self-discovery, and awareness40:48 – Facing pain, suffering, and transformation52:46 – Emotional intelligence, leadership, and vulnerability01:13:58 – Practical mindfulness in everyday life01:28:22 – Presence, theology, and reflections on God02:02:19 – Guided meditation & closing thoughtsConnect with Cian and Human Kinder: https://linktr.ee/humankinder
