#25: The Missing Link in Approaching Mental Health - with Luke
The number of people suffering from mental health conditions is increasing at unprecedented levels.  The question for those struggling with mental health is,  Am I broken and need external interventions like medication and ongoing therapy to manage the symptoms? Or…Is the mental health condition a symptom of something that is within your control that can be healed through inner work practices, skills and habits that result in mental stability? Or… Is a combination of both necessary?  In this episode, I speak with Luke. Luke has struggled with symptoms and behaviours that closely reflect ADHD. His psychologist also agrees with his suspicions but he is yet to get a formal diagnosis from a specialist.   Luke has come onto the podcast to discuss his recent findings and to open up a broader conversation about how to approach mental health challenges from a Self Intelligence perspective.  A huge thank you to Luke for his courage in sharing his experience, which may be life-changing to anyone with a mental health condition and deeply insightful for anyone who wants to understand more about mental health and the different approaches that can be taken when working through it.

#24: My Marriage Breakthrough: Letting Go of the Inner War - with Barb
Relationship breakdown or divorce can be one of the greatest challenges you will ever face that offers a profound opportunity to take a deep and sincere look at yourself. In this episode, I speak with Barb. Barb’s life took a very different path after her divorce. Instead of staying the victim of her experience, she decided to take the opportunity to go inside and find out why her husband left her.  In this raw discussion, Barb reveals what she learnt from her inner journey.  We discuss:  The victim, perpetrator, rescue cycles The unseen war taking place between the masculine and feminine  The necessity of inner child work The inner fight that stops the ability to receive love  The shadow work necessary to create harmonious relationships  The process of going inside before dealing with relationship triggers   I want to thank Barb from the bottom of my heart for taking the journey from the head to her heart. I have the utmost love and respect for Barb. She is a lifelong friend who has been instrumental in supporting me to discover my own path and she continues to shine the light of truth for those who are willing to go inside and do the inner work.    LINKS: Wake Up Experience https://selfintelligence.com/wake-up-experience/ Register to be a Guest https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-podcast-guest/ Free Guided Meditation Download https://selfintelligence.com/self-recognition-practice-download/ Self Intelligence Course https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-online-course/ Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/iJrzNAVm7HE Website https://www.selfintelligence.com  DISCOVER SELF INTELLIGENCE ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chrisknightselfintelligence/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chrisknight_selfintelligence/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@selfintelligence

#23: Healing from Sexual Abuse: Overcoming Victim Denial and Self-Hate
My guest, who chooses to remain anonymous, was sexually assaulted for several years by a school teacher at the age of 15 and also by a neighbour at the age of 9. The trauma she had experienced in these formative years led to a nervous breakdown and an identity crisis.  For most of her adult life, she has been trying to get her old self back through personal development courses, therapy, coaching and more to fix the pain she was feeling inside. However, through all the attempts to fix herself, the connection between the nervous breakdown and the sexual abuse eluded her. In her mind, the abuse was all her responsibility and therefore she couldn’t see or accept the impact the abuse was having on her mental and emotional wellbeing or admit that she was a victim of a crime. Only recently, after decades of soul searching has she discovered the path home to peace, stability and healing.  I want to thank my courageous guest for her bravery in discussing this topic, which will serve as inspiration for so many who live with the feeling that they are permanently damaged by trauma like sexual abuse.

#22: The System Is Broken: Find meaning and purpose in making a difference - Guest Session with Georgie
The vast majority of people in our world are experiencing a profound sense of discontentment, disillusionment and lack of purpose in their work and careers. People yearn for a greater sense of meaning in their life, recognizing that survival alone may not contain the ingredients for fulfilment.  In this episode, I speak with Georgie. Georgie was triggered by a podcast episode between Joe Rogan and Robert Kennedy Jr. that brought her back to the days when she worked in the medical industry as a dietician and pharmaceutical rep.  Her overall feeling was - the system is broken and it has to change!  While Georgie has made many changes in her career paths over the years she still feels a general sense of lacking meaning and purpose. So she reached out to have this discussion from the perspective of Self Intelligence.  A huge thank you to Georgie for opening up the discussion on meaning and purpose that affects so many.

#21: Why the honeymoon phase ends in a relationship and how to keep it - Guest Session (Anonymous)
Remember the exciting experience of the honeymoon period in a relationship. This time is full of spontaneity, attentiveness, respect, and love in what seems like an endless horizon of possibilities to share your life with someone who reciprocates the same feelings toward you.  However slowly but surely, what started as openness, love, passion and unlimited possibilities is replaced with blame, defensiveness, power struggles, game playing, judgement and nitpicking that can erode into mistrust and heavy resentment that blocks the love and connection that created the relationship in the first place.     My guest (who has chosen to remain anonymous) has reached out because they can feel the honeymoon is ending in their new relationship. My guest wants to ensure the love and connection they have isn’t tainted by ego, fear and judgement.  In this episode we discuss Why a honeymoon endsWhat starts relationship triggersHow to stop being a punching bag for loveWhy we mistake love for fear and start getting into our partner's businessThe secret to an endless honeymoon Big thank you to my guest for taking responsibility to ensure the love and respect discovered in the honeymoon of their relationship continues to grow and mature into a sacred union.

#13: The Bliss of Living Beyond Identity - with Dilsah
In this week's podcast, we take a deep dive into 'living beyond identity' with a deep exploration of 'Gender Identity' with my guest Dilsah. Dilsah's identity was stripped away at birth through child trafficking. Dilsah was then thrust into cultural extremes that left Dilsah feeling completely lost, and all the while not feeling connected with conventional gender roles. Talk about an identity crisis! Dilsah, who identifies as non-binary, which means they do not conform to traditional binary beliefs about gender, has come on the podcast to hold space for me to discuss the role ego and consciousness play in evolving beyond the current divisive argument on gender identity. But that's not all...  The overarching theme of this podcast is about the bliss of living 'beyond' identity in general. This podcast offers a soup of awareness for anyone who is interested in what it truly means to live beyond identity.  LINKS: Wake Up Experience ⁠https://selfintelligence.com/wake-up-experience⁠ Register to be a Guest https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-podcast-guest/ Free Guided Meditation Download https://selfintelligence.com/self-recognition-practice-download/ Self Intelligence Course https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-online-course/ Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/MRKobEb6_io Website⁠ https://www.selfintelligence.com⁠ Dilsah De Rham To find out more details about the ‘non-binary’ artistic performance Dilsah mentions at the end of the podcast, you can follow Dilsah here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dilsah_2.0/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dilsah

#12: Dark Night of the Soul - Fear and Bamboozlement in Byron Bay with Jiro
Have you ever wondered what a 'dark night of the soul' is all about or maybe you would like to know if you're experiencing one right now?  If you are feeling lost, passionless, directionless, hopeless, confused, overwhelmed, cynical, angry or suicidal - you may be experiencing a dark night of the soul. In this podcast session, I speak with Jiro, who has been spiralling in a 'dark night' for over a year and only recently came out the other side.  In this session, we discuss what triggered this episode, the gruelling details of what he experienced, and how he pulled through to the other side to return to us all with renewed inspiration, powerful teachings and an amazing new offering called the Taksu Teahouse that offers like-hearted community for those who are walking the spiritual path of self discovery. I would like to thank Jiro for his vulnerability and bravery in exposing his inner journey that will inspire hope and courage in those who experience this age-old journey that Jiro so eloquently coined “Fear and bamboozlement in Byron Bay” LINKS: Jiro Taylor - Taksu Teahouse https://www.taksu.xyz/taksu-teahouse Chris Knight - Self Intelligence Wake Up Experience https://selfintelligence.com/wake-up-experience/ Self Intelligence Course https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-online-course Register to be a Guest ⁠https://selfintelligence.com/self-intelligence-podcast-guest/⁠ Free Guided Meditation Download ⁠https://selfintelligence.com/self-recognition-practice-download/⁠ Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/2cIQfPXnTi4 Website https://www.selfintelligence.com

#8: How to overcome anorexia and eating disorders - Full Recovery Story with Georgie
You might be surprised to discover that eating disorders lead to more deaths than any other mental illness. The GOOD news is... this mental illness can be transformed and healed.   My Podcast Session this week is with Georgie. Georgie suffered a severe case of anorexia that started at the early age of 14. For over 15 years, Georgie was in and out of psychiatric wards to keep her alive. Over that time she saw various medical specialists who told her she would have to manage this condition for the rest of her life. Fortunately for Georgie, they were wrong.  Georgie completely recovered from the condition in 2021, 5 months after completing the 12 Week Self Intelligence Course. In this episode, we explore exactly how Georgie turned this life threatening illness into a gift that has led her to discover true happiness, and, to the shock of her family, the miracle of becoming pregnant.  Georgie is a true inspiration for us all including anyone who is suffering from a mental illness who knows deep in their heart they can recover against all the odds.
