#471 The Secret Ingredient To Living Your Best Life

January 2, 2026

In this longer, deeper episode of Personal Development Unplugged, I take you beyond goal-setting, beyond wishy-washy intentions, and right into the one missing ingredient that makes real, lasting change inevitable.

This episode includes a guided hypnosis / deep visualisation process designed to help you connect emotionally and unconsciously with the version of you who is already living their best life — and to install the inner resource that makes it all possible.

My Christmas and New Year Message

December 22, 2025

Personal Development Unplugged

This is a short Christmas and New Year message from me to you.

A moment to pause.
A moment to reflect on how far you’ve come.
And a gentle invitation to think about who you want to become — without pressure, without rigid resolutions.

FMQ 522 Who Do You Want To Be?

December 19, 2025

As the year begins to wind down, this Five Minute Quickie (that may run a little longer 😄) invites you to pause, reflect, and ask yourself some powerful questions.

This isn’t about New Year’s resolutions – it’s about intention.

In this episode, Paul challenges you to look at:

Why you’re really listening

What you truly want

Who you want to become

#470 Why Am I Feeling Alone And Feeling……..?

December 12, 2025

In this powerful longer episode, I dive into the hidden causes of loneliness — why we feel alone, why it often starts as protection, and how we unintentionally reinforce it with the wrong questions.

Then I’ll guide you through a gentle, refined hypnosis process to help you reconnect with yourself, shift your emotions, and find comfort, peace, and connection again.

FMQ 521 Come And Play For A Change

December 5, 2025

In this slightly longer Five-Minute Quickie, I’m inviting you to do something different… to come and play. Play with ideas, play with possibilities, and play with the truth about those heavy beliefs we sometimes carry like “I’ve got no one.”

In this FMQ, we explore:

How “I’ve got no one” is a belief, not the truth

Why every belief — even identity-level stuff — can be changed

Why it often feels like our issues only happen to us

Why working with compassion (not empathy) creates real change

How every issue is just a behaviour — and behaviours can change

How these seeds we explore now lead directly into the deeper work in the following longer episode

#469 “I’m Not Good Enough – Where’d That Go?”

November 28, 2025

In this deep-dive episode of Personal Development Unplugged, we go straight to the heart of that old familiar belief: “I’m not good enough.”
Where did it come from? Why does it stick? And more importantly… how the hell do we finally let it go?

Following on from FMQ 520, we go far deeper — unpacking the real intention behind that belief (yep, your unconscious mind is actually trying to protect you), the conflict it accidentally creates, and how to guide it toward a better way of keeping you safe.

And then… we do the thing.
A guided process — powerful, imaginative, and deeply integrative — designed to dissolve the old belief, honour the intention behind it, and install new, empowering beliefs that actually support you.

FMQ 520 I’m Not Good Enough Where’d That Come From

November 21, 2025

I’m Not Good Enough Where’d That Come From? In this slightly longer Five-Minute Quickie, we’re digging into one of the sneakiest, most stubborn beliefs so many of us carry around:“I’m not good enough.” Where did it come from?Why does it stick?And how do we uncover what’s really underneath it? This FMQ is all about preparing…

#468 I Feel Sh*t So Let’s Change

November 14, 2025

This Episode in a Nutshell

In this deeper dive of Personal Development Unplugged, we get real about feeling stuck, low, anxious or just “not ourselves” — and what to actually do about it. No more endless talking, analysing or looping the same bloody thoughts. This is about changing how you feel at the unconscious level, where these issues were created… and where they can be changed.

If you’ve ever struggled to remember what “good” even feels like, or wondered why you can’t just think your way out of the cycle, this episode gives you a gentle, powerful way to move forward — using your imagination, memory, and your very real inner resources.

FMQ 519 Talking’s Over It’s Time To Change

November 7, 2025

In this slightly-longer FMQ, we’re taking a gentle but powerful step toward real change. No more talking about the issue. No more cycling through the same thoughts. This episode is all about shifting your focus to what actually creates transformation — how you want to feel.

So many of us get stuck talking, thinking, analysing… and nothing changes. Why?
Because talking doesn’t always touch the unconscious mind — the place where these patterns were created in the first place.

In this FMQ, I share:

#467 How To Achieve Your Goals Easily

October 31, 2025

There’s an easier way to achieve your dreams and goals — one that actually feels good and keeps you motivated the whole way through.

In this episode, I share a simple but powerful approach to goal setting that most people miss: starting from the last step — that moment when you’ve already achieved your goal — and using that feeling to drive you forward. You’ll discover how to find your true why, anchor your motivation, and create a plan that’s realistic, energising, and deeply aligned with what you want.
