We’re back for Part 2 of this incredible conversation with Simon Pollard, founder of Slow the Mind, and things get even deeper.

In this episode, Simon opens up about embracing authenticity, setting boundaries, and why we all need to redefine what success and productivity actually look like. He shares the emotional turning point when his wife lovingly called out his burnout, and how that moment led to radical recalibration.

We also get a behind-the-scenes look at Simon’s upcoming book, which explores inherited trauma and healing across generations - interwoven with his experience walking the Pennine Way.

💥 What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • How Simon is learning to do less and achieve more
  • Why rest, joy and presence are essential for long-term well-being
  • The ripple effect of showing up authentically
  • How to move from “busy for the sake of busy” into intentional living
  • The healing potential of ancestral awareness and storytelling

This is a conversation about slowing down without switching off - about living fully, without burning out - and about showing up for life on your terms. It’s filled with heart, humour, wisdom and truth.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt pressure to do it all, this episode is your permission slip to pause, recalibrate and choose what truly matters.
