Summary
What if all the striving, achieving and chasing we do in life is actually taking us further away from peace?
In this conversation, I’m joined by coach Nick Hall to explore why real contentment doesn’t come from hitting goals or ticking boxes — but from seeing through the mind’s stories and recognising the awareness behind them.
We talk about identity, success, and the trap of believing our thoughts. Nick shares his journey from a high-pressure sales environment into coaching and inner work — and how learning to unhook from mental narratives changed his life.
This one’s especially for high performers and achievers who feel like something’s still missing — and are ready to look inward, not outward.
If that’s you, and you want to explore this work yourself, you can book a free coaching consultation call with me: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chat

| 0:00.0 | I think like most people, you start out life thinking it works one way. |
| 0:06.0 | And you try to play that game because you've been told the rules of the game |
| 0:13.0 | and you practice the rules of the game. |
| 0:15.0 | I think if I can get the rules of the game right, then I'll be okay. |
| 0:20.0 | And then at some point you realize that there aren't |
| 0:24.1 | actually any rules to the game and the whole game's completely made up. And then you go, oh my |
| 0:30.3 | God, what even is this? And that for me was the start of going, oh, this is actually a bit more interesting. |
| 0:46.3 | Hello and welcome to a new way of being with me, Simon Mundy. And today I am joined by coach Nick Hall, |
| 0:54.9 | who is someone I enjoy talking to. |
| 0:57.8 | I think he's insightful. |
| 0:59.2 | I think he's really seen some important truths. |
| 1:02.8 | And in this conversation, we get into identity, thoughts, |
| 1:06.7 | and how most people are chasing something outside of themselves, |
| 1:11.1 | thinking that's where happiness or fulfillment or satisfaction lives. |
| 1:17.2 | And Nick shares how he was able to break out of that cycle |
| 1:20.8 | and how he now helps others to do the same. |
| 1:23.5 | So if you're someone who has achieved a lot, but still feels stark or like something's missing |
| 1:29.0 | or like you're on a treadmill, I think you'll enjoy this one. |
| 1:34.2 | Nick Hall, how lovely to see you, sir. How are you? Very well. And you? I'm good. Delighted |
| 1:41.1 | to have you here. I've enjoyed our conversations to date, so felt like the only |
| 1:46.2 | logical next step was to deepen our relationship by recording it and sticking it on the podcast. |
| 1:51.5 | So here we are. Awesome. And I'm expecting a good conversation. In fact, I know it will be one |
