The Fertile Mind with Russell Davis

The Secret To More Fun: Finding Joy Even In Tough Times

I think most people wouldn't say no to more fun in their lives! Despite how challenging life circumstances can be, is it possible to still have moments of fun? How do you create a life with more fun? In this episode, we explore the psychology behind fun and how you can experience more fun and joy in your life. 

Thoughts & Feelings Are Not Real

In this week's episode, we explore the freedom that comes from seeing how thoughts and feelings are pure imagination. 100% of the time. 

The Invitation To Be You!

In this episode, I share a poem that I came across in the midst of our infertility journey when life felt hopeless, and I felt worthless. It sparked something in me. It evoked a deep desire to play full-out in life and not have any regrets. To stop getting in my own way. It is called The Invitation. It is an invitation for you to be fully you and create a life of passion and purpose. 

How To Deal With Criticism

Criticism can cut deep. Particularly if it is unfair. It can trigger us unnecessarily. Being sensitive to it can keep us in a state of tension. In this episode, we explore why this is the case and how you can stay calm and in your power in the face of unfair criticism. 

I am a Champion For Your Soul

We all need someone who's got our back. Who believes in us more than we believe in ourselves. Who picks us up when life feels tough. Who helps us get clear on our truths and have the confidence to create the life we want. My coaches do this for me. In this episode, we explore why this is important and what it can unlock within you to help you create the inspired life you deserve. 

The Courage To Be Wrong

I like to be right. I can find it hard to admit I am wrong, particularly to people I care about most. In this episode, we explore why this is often the case and why admitting we are wrong can take courage, but it is also a gift of love (to ourselves and others). 

The ‘Something’s Wrong With Me’ Myth—And How to Break Free

Kids can start to think there is something wrong with them when they compare themselves and/or their lives to others. I know I did. This can play out in our lives as adults, even though we are not kids anymore. We start to gather evidence and life experiences that reinforce this unconscious belief. In this episode, we explore how we can let go of that belief, regardless of life experiences that try to reinforce it. 

Connecting To Your Innate Wellbeing

What would happen if you could truly KNOW you are OK, and will be OK whatever happens in life? In my experience, my mind and body relax. It creates a sense of ease, relief and happiness in the moment. My mind opens to a sense of possibility more easily. I allow myself to dream dreams and turn those dreams into projects. In this episode, we explore the idea of innate wellbeing and how we can recognise it within ourselves more easily. 

Are You Drifting In Life?

I drifted through my corporate career. I may have drifted up the organisation chart, but I didn't have a conscious goal or idea of what I really wanted for my career or life  as a whole. When I started to explore what I really wanted, I realised I needed to change direction in a big way. In this episode, we explore what drifting is, why we do it and what we can do to consciously create the life we want. 

How To Free Yourself From People Pleasing (And Still Be Caring!)

In my experience, people-pleasing leads to chasing a feeling of contentment and fulfilment and never achieving it. It's an exhausting treadmill that is fuelled by low-level fear and anxiety of being judged or rejected. In this episode, we explore how to free yourself from being a people-pleaser, bringing more ease and flow into your life and body whilst still being a kind and caring person!
