On this week's In Focus session I discuss how the Self can often seem like two separate things: the spiritual side, infinite and connected to everything, and the personal side, which is finite and more connected to our wants and life purposes. Even if these two may seem separated, they're actually one thing appearing as two, and this gives us the freedom to be able to change and redirect our life and our "self".    On this episode I discuss: The separation of self How to use the unlimited source My experience with depression wasn't fixed 3 questions you should always ask yourself  If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

This week's episode is a bit different from the usual. This episode comes from an interview that I did for someone else’s podcast that didn’t go out... but there was so much value here that I needed to put this out myself. I talk about my story, my journey from depression to being a coach, and what interviewing 200 plus guests in my podcast in the last 5 years has taught me about how we all have rock bottom moments that can spark a change in our life, if we’re open to it.  On this episode I discuss: 1.    My breakdown at 25 years old 2.    From the BBC to being a Life Coach 3.    The Rock Bottom moment 4.    What’s being happy? 5.    The struggle of being open 6.    Lack of motivation 7.    Be where you are 8.    Poem “The Dash” by Linda Ellis  9.    Nature doesn’t mind 10. The concept of Zero Plus 11. My game changing moment 12. My work as a coach If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Miche

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we often need to clear out our mental loft, in order to create new things. Clearing out means making room in our minds to allow us to see the opportunities around us. When we get stuck on some ideas, some stories that we believe about ourselves, that we consider permanent in our life... these can often turn into limitations. Even when we perceive these as strengths. Because they stop us from changing.  On this episode I discuss: Clear out your mental loft The pressure that comes from the need Even a strength can be a limitation  If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's episode I chat with the amazing Andrew Murnane, which you may know from his TikTok account (where he reached 1 million followers), or as the co-host of the Dualistic Unity podcast. In this conversation with Andrew we discuss happiness, the labels that limit our reality, being in the moment and finding your freedom in life.  In this episode we discuss: Andrew's story How he got 1 million followers on TikTok Suffering and control You are the present More, different, better don't exist If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Andrew Murnane: IG and TikTok: @notandrewmurnane Dualistic Unity Podcast: dualisticunity.com Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to create the "easy" in your life. If you want to do new things, or change something in your life that isn't working, or create more opportunities for yourself... you've got to stop making it harder than it is. A thing is harder -or easier- than something else only because we believe it is, because our mind has labeled it as such. If you want to change start creating the easy for yourself.  On this episode I discuss: You can create the easy in your life A few examples from my own life: going to the gym, walking, reading The commitment to doing something is key If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's episode I'm happy to share this amazing conversation with author, podcaster and entrepreneur Daniel DiPiazza. Daniel has his own podcast "The New Wave Podcast". He has an eclectic mind and together we discuss opening our minds to different levels of consciousness, in particular through our experiences with mushrooms and psychedelics, the discoveries we've made, and how we have integrated these into our daily lives.  In this episode we've discussed: Daniel's story Psychedelics and mushrooms What to expect from a psychedelic journey The implications of these discoveries in our daily life The idea of no separation If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Daniel DiPiazza: IG: @danieldipiazza Web: newwaveentrepreneur.com Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we experience the world around us, our life, through the lens of our thoughts. It's like everyone is constantly wearing a pair of "VR Goggles of Thought", seeing only what's in our thinking. However, we often don't even realise that this is happening.  On this episode I discuss: How you're only ever experiencing your own thoughts Your experience is always created from the inside-out We're living with the VR goggles of thoughts on We don't need to do anything with 99% of thoughts in our head Your thinking about what's happened is what annoys you, not the reality of what happened If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's episode I'm delighted to bring you this amazing conversation with Dr. Amy Johnson. She's a Life Coach, a psychologist, and she's the author of several incredible books that I've read more than once recently, like: 'Just a Thought: A No-Willpower Approach to Win Self-Doubt and Make Peace with Your Mind' and 'Being Human'. She's also a public speaker and in 2017 Amy opened The Little School of Big Change, an online school that has helped thousands of people to find freedom from anxiety and live a peaceful life.

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to forgive yourself and live free from the past and judgement of yourself. In this episode I read some extracts from a Syd Banks audio, something that I've already done in other In Focus sessions. This week, I breakdown the audio "Forgiveness And The Power Of Thought", in which Syd Banks explains how not forgiving yourself means living forever as a prisoner of your past. Of your traumas, of your judgments, of your negative feelings. I've seen this in my own life: for years I lived having misconceptions about myself and judging my past actions in the heaviest possible way. I was a prisoner of my own past, of my own thoughts. But what I've now realised is that forgiveness is freeing.  On this episode I discuss: Forgiveness and love How to forgive yourself We are prisoners of our own past What are we judging ourselves for? Forgiveness is freeing If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you

On this week's episode I chat with Olivia Wynne, international Life Coach and founder of OA Coaching. Olivia is a good friend of mine, and has made her life's goal to live fearlessly. She has worked very hard to put the traumas of her past behind her, realise her full potential and is now helping other people to do the same.  On this episode we discuss: How she started her career as a Life Coach Bringing value to other people How trauma can limit our beliefs A 'no' can be a blessing in disguise The mistake of buying into our past If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Olivia: IG: @oa_coaching Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's In Focus session I discuss about how abundance is everywhere, and how our mind creates limitations. This episode is the third that comes from the insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. This time, I'm talking about abundance and opportunities being around us, and how our mind creates limitations that don't allow us to see this. What happens is: we have a thought that creates a feeling. This feeling is neutral, but the mind will interpret it, label it, and create a story around it that doesn't have to be true. A certain energy can be intepreted by the mind -and by us- as bad tension or good excitement, in a different context. This means that we don't have to buy the story that our mind is telling us is true. And if we do this, we become open to the abundance that is everywhere. On this episode I discuss: Abundance is everywhere Who do I need to be for miracles to show up We don't have to buy the stories that our mind creates for us Thoughts and feelings are two sid

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how we often suffer needlessly. This episode is the second that comes from the insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. This time, I'm talking about how we create our own suffering, and how this suffering doesn't have to be. Because It's our thinking that separates our feelings in good and bad ones. That creates the conflict we live in: we experience something but we want a different experience based on our judgment of that feeling. Are you aware of the suffering that you're creating for yourself? And, are you gonna do something about it? On this episode I discuss: Mental suffering is us suffering needlessly How I thought I wasn't good enough How we create our suffering Bad versus good feelings How to be aware of the suffering that we're creating If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow

On this week's In Focus session I discuss how to adjust the speed of your life. This episode comes from the amazing insights that I've had in this past month of coaching retreats. In particular, here I'm discussing the need that we have to adjust the speed of our lives. We can't drive in gear 5 all the time. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that if we're in gear 5 in one area of our life, other areas may have to stay in gear 2 or 3 for a while. Some other times we just need to just stop and ask ourselves: at what speed am I going through this? And, am I ok with it?   On this episode I discuss: What limitations are we creating for ourselves? You can't drive in Gear 5 all the time Adjusting the speed of your life The conflict is caused by our thinking I discuss the story of one of my clients If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Produced by Michele Azzu Music by Hobgoblin Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexm

On this week's In Focus session I discuss who is the 'self' you're trying to develop? In a lot of the personal development world, we talk about developing the 'self' but when we take a deeper look at who this 'self' is, it makes less and less sense to focus on developing it. I believe this world of growth is a subtractive process, yet when we are looking at developing a 'self'. it can be the opposite. On this episode I discuss: Being bigger than what we think we are The 'self' is an identity we have made up through old beliefs Is personality fixed or changeable? and more If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week’s episode I am joined by Sundance Robson who is a men’s coach and ceremonial leader as well as being a good friend of mine. I first connected with Sundance at the men's immersion I attended in November and was drawn in by his aura and story. In his life Sundance has overcome a lot in his life; from addiction to abuse to systemic discrimination because of his Indigenous Canadian heritage and more.  Sundance now walks a beautiful path of growth and dedicating his life to helping other men, as well as sharing the traditional teachings from his Indigenous culture. During this conversation, we spoke about: Doing the work is really about removing stuff Labels not needing to define you Biggest traditional values to live by And much more If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) A huge thank you to Michele Azzu for producing and editing this episode, and to Hobgoblin for providing the sick music.

On this week's In Focus session I am breaking down Syd Bank's 3 Principles lecture from a Conference in Hawaii in the early 90's. Syd Banks, was an ordinary working man, not searching for truth or wisdom or even aware of much beyond his day-to-day life. At the age of 43 he had a profound spiritual experience that revealed to him three, long-lost, divine principles that are a foundation to all of human experience. In his 'Hawaii Lecture', Syd, talks about these three divine principles and the implications of them. It's a really powerful talk and, like most of his work, is pretty hard to come by. In this episode, I want to share my deep learnings and insights from this particular audio. On this episode I discuss: Being one thought away from perfect mental health Why you don't need to 'heal' your past The role of free will Forgiving and forgetting in relationships If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) A

On this week’s episode I am joined by Morgan who is a 22-year-old singer/songwriter and someone whose career started from a very early age when she was touring the world with Rudimental as a teenager. Now she’s stepping out into her own lane and releasing great music in her own style.  We had a very interesting conversation around balancing mental health and success and Morgan shares very openly about her experiences During this conversation, we spoke about: The connections between thinking and feeling Putting your happiness before success Why the pandemic was good for growth  If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Connect with Morgan: IG: @morganconniesmith Tik Tok: @morganconniesmith Connect with Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk 

On this week's In Focus session I discuss the difference between application and implication. In a lot of the personal development world, people are offering 'How To' or steps to achieve things.  While I don't see this as a bad thing, I do think there is something bigger at play. That, is understanding the implications of your personal learnings rather than looking at how to apply them. On this episode I discuss: The difference between application and implications Having less to do What happens when your perspective shifts and more If you enjoyed this session and think there is someone you feel would benefit from hearing it then please make sure you share it with them :) Follow Alex: IG: @iamalexmanzi Tik Tok: @iamalexmanzi Twitter: @iamalexmanzi thedreamersdisease.co.uk
