Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast
The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’.
The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life!
Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach.
If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone.
We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose.
Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide.
New episodes every Saturday.

Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast
How to Stop Overthinking & Let Go of Control (Even When Life Feels Uncertain)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Learn why uncertainty triggers anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism, and the need to control outcomes.
Drawing on Taoist wisdom, we uncover why uncertainty itself is not the real problem, and why your nervous system may be reacting to old patterns of instability and fear.
Learn how overthinking becomes mental vigilance, why control creates more stress, and how calming emotional activation can bring clarity, trust, and peace of mind. You’ll discover practical ways to regulate anxiety, stop forcing solutions, and take aligned action without struggle.
If you often feel stuck in worry, rumination, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the need to know what happens next, this episode will help you find stability from within rather than chasing certainty from the outside.
With your hosts, David James Lees (ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher) and Alexandra Lees (mindset and business coach).
