You Unleashed with Russell Davis

Are My Feelings Bad or Wrong?

So many people, especially in relationships, wonder if it's okay to feel what they’re feeling. In this episode, I talk about how I used to judge my wife’s emotions and how that changed once I understood where our reactions really come from. I explore the masculine and feminine energy dynamics in relationships and why emotions often trigger disconnection instead of deeper connection. Most importantly, I want you to know you are never bad or wrong for having an emotion. I’ll share why allowing emotions with compassion, rather than judgment, is key to healing and connection.

Is the Universe Friendly?

Inspired by a question from Einstein, I reflect on how our perception of the universe deeply impacts our lives. I talk about how my own childhood experiences shaped my belief that life was judgmental and unloving, and how everything began to shift when I started to believe the universe might actually be kind. In this episode, I invite you to consider that life might not just be random or harsh, but part of a greater loving energy that’s got your back. What if you are already lovable and worthy, just as you are?

The Beliefs Holding You Back (And How to Let Them Go)

This episode is all about the hidden beliefs that quietly shape our lives. I share how thoughts like “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t deserve to be happy” were running the show in my own life, until I began to question them. I explain how these limiting beliefs often feel like truth, but they’re just thoughts, and they can be unlearned. Whether it’s imposter syndrome or fear of success, I show you how to start shifting from self-judgment to self-compassion, and how even small insights can spark real, lasting change.

Why Me? Learning to See Life as Neutral, Not Personal

In this episode, I open up about the anger and deep sense of injustice I felt during our 10-year fertility journey. It was a time when I felt like life was against me. I talk about how I used to take everything personally, from traffic jams to missed opportunities, and how that perspective shaped my experience. But what if life isn’t out to get us? What if it’s just neutral? I share how this shift in understanding changed not only how I related to life but also how I discovered a deeper version of myself along the way.

Healthy Goals v Toxic Goals

This week, as we go into the new year, we are looking at goals! What goals do you have for 2026? In this episode from the archive, I talk about why some goals actually hold us back, and how setting goals from fear or pressure can disconnect us from ourselves. I reflect on the importance of choosing goals that evoke a powerful state of being, and how to hold them lightly without attaching your self-worth to the outcome. It’s not just about achieving something in the future. It’s about who you become along the way and the state you're choosing to live from today.

The Search for Belonging

In this episode, I open up about my lifelong search for a sense of belonging. From feeling like an outsider at school and university, to people-pleasing in adulthood in hopes of earning love and acceptance, I share how old stories shaped how I saw myself. But the real shift happened when I stopped trying to belong by proving my worth and started reconnecting with the truth of who I am beyond the noise of thoughts and judgments. I discovered that belonging doesn’t come from the outside; it comes from within. From knowing we’re already enough, already loved, already worthy, just as we are.

The Courage To Listen

In this episode, I reflect on a simple but powerful idea that struck me from a book I was reading: “Do you have the courage to listen?” It made me realise how often we hear only what we want to hear, or what we already know, instead of truly listening with an open heart. I talk about the times I’ve been challenged to listen to uncomfortable truths about myself, my life, and what I truly desire, and how choosing to listen anyway, even when it hurt, has led to growth, healing and deeper connection. This is about stepping out of your head and into your heart, and having the courage to hear what it’s been trying to tell you all along.

Silencing The Inner Critic

In this episode, I explore the voice many of us live with, the inner critic. I share my own experience of being unknowingly hard on myself, constantly chasing perfection to avoid judgment and earn love. As I became more aware of this critical part of me, I learned that fighting it didn’t help. What made the difference was something far more radical: acceptance. I talk about how compassion, not correction, helped me soften that inner voice, and how imagining that critic as a younger version of myself allowed me to respond with love instead of resistance. If you’ve ever struggled with self-judgment, I hope this episode helps you find a gentler way forward.

Learning To Be Present

In this episode, I open up about one of the most painful moments in my marriage, when my wife told me she felt lonely in our relationship. That wake-up call helped me see just how much I’d been living in my head, disconnected from the present and the people I love. I share how childhood habits of overthinking became my coping mechanism, and how I’ve been learning to come back to presence, to love, and to life itself. This is a raw and honest reflection on the journey from numbing to feeling, from overthinking to connection, and from fear to freedom. I hope it helps you find more connection to your true self that knows you are OK, and to feel more connected to those you love.

From Emotional Avoidance to Emotional Freedom

What if you’ve been avoiding more than just difficult emotions? In this episode, I share my own journey of expanding my emotional range, from numbing anxiety and flatlining through life to truly feeling the full spectrum of joy, grief, love, and connection. We explore how our relationship with feelings affects our relationships with others and our connection to our true self and innate resources, keeping us stuck in life. Learn how to embrace your emotions without fear or judgment, reconnect with your soul, deepen your wellbeing, and allow life to flow more freely.
