Be Calm Within

09/12/2025

Ever feel like the same painful patterns keep finding you – difficult relationships, self-doubt, feeling stuck – no matter what you try?

I finally wrote the explanation I give almost every client.

It’s not bad luck.
It’s an invisible childhood filter that’s still quietly running everything.

And the best part?
It can be changed – quickly and permanently.

Would love a ❤️ or quick comment if this lands for you.

Synopsis (a.k.a. “Get to the point already!”) The Short Version: The reason the same painful patterns keep repeating in your life isn’t bad luck. It’s your subconscious mind using childhood “rules” about safety, love, and worth to decide what you notice, how you feel, and how you react. ...

This time last week I walked 60 km with 250 men, almost all of them strangers, for the men's health charity WNOW (When No One’s Watching). 1 km for each of the 60 lives lost to su***de each hour around the world.

Co-founder David Eccles calls it "a connection challenge, not a physical one". That felt true at km 40, but by 55 km my legs were loudly disagreeing.

From the first step we were encouraged, by example and gentle invitation, to open up to the guy walking beside us. And a few truths hit me hard:

- Men don’t lack depth. We lack safe environments that welcome and encourage vulnerability. Create the space → the depth appears in minutes.
- Give men emotional safety and zero judgment and they’ll go deeper in 30 minutes than many friendships do in 3 years.
- Vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the glue. One honest “I’m struggling” unlocks five more.
- Shared vulnerability is the fastest trust accelerator on earth:
Km 1: excitement & laughter →
Km 12: real sharing →
Km 50: deep emotions →
Finish-line beer: brothers for life

WNOW is steadily growing these spaces, town by town, country by country. I feel it every Wednesday morning at the Cronulla Sunrise Club, and I felt it even more last Friday.

If you - or a man you care about - need more connection, laughter, and real support, send them here: wnow.org

We can carry deep pain and still show up looking strong.

If you have learned to hide your hurt behind calm, humour or competence, that is okay. Those parts of you are only trying to keep you safe.

Reach out if you’re ready to move beyond coping.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 after three wonderful weeks in the UK, spent with my Mum.

2024 has been a truly transformative year for me. Transitioning to a full-time therapist after years of balancing it with corporate coaching has been both challenging and immensely rewarding.

This year also reminded me of the importance of reconnecting with friends and family, reinforcing how essential it is to nurture harmony in our personal lives.

My hope for us all is to engage with one another with genuine curiosity and love—seeking to understand the individual rather than being swayed by the divisive narratives of our increasingly polarised world. I believe in challenging ideas, but always with compassion and patience... definitely still a work on for me 🙃

This morning, I’m reflecting on the incredible people in my life and feeling immense gratitude—especially for my amazing wife and this beautiful country I now call home.

As we step into 2025, my wish for us all is a year filled with love, growth, and curiosity about those with different perspectives. Let’s strive to understand, not win or disconnect. I truly believe this approach can make our world a better place.

Happy New Year to all!
Andy

Facing Fear is an absolutely fantastic film. It follows the Director, Bill Bennett's emotional journey after being diagnosed with Parkinsons.

Featuring Dr Joe Dispenza, Dr Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, Paul Selig, and Judith Richards (the creator of TRTP - The Richards Trauma Process) among others, the film examines fear scientifically and spiritually.

Well worth a watch.

Judith Richards TRTP - The Richards Trauma Process features prominently in my film Facing Fear, available online during an event screening on March 19th (US) - 20th in Australia.

Facing Fear is a film that details one man’s global search to find ways to handle his fear, after he received some devastating news. Bill Bennett sought out some of the world’s leading experts in fear management. He wanted to understand how fear worked, and how to best manage it.

Featuring such luminaries as Dr Joe Dispenza, Dr Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, Paul Selig, Lee Carroll (Kryon), James Van Praagh, Foster Gamble, Sister Jenna, Michael Tamura and Judith Richards, the resulting film is a unique perspective that examines fear scientifically and spiritually.
