Ep.21 Why Your Anger Is Needed In Your Healing

Mon, 25 May 2026 11:00:00 +0100

After 3 coaching sessions where this exact message came up again and again, I go the message that this needed to be shared here.

Anger is so often associated with violence, abuse, harm, hurt. That association leads to the repression of anger, making it wrong or bad, when in reality, that's not all anger is. Anger is an emotion. It's not good, or bad. It can be used it destructive ways or supportive ways.

Accessing your own anger is needed in your healing. Because otherwise it stays stuck, stagnant. It leaks out onto others or turns inwards on you. The person who can't access anger, often struggles with boundaries, it's the nice guy, the good girl, the people pleaser. And that's where the power connected to your anger is needed. To claim and reclaim what is yours. To be clear on your yes and no.

And to allow yourself the space to feel frustration and anger in your life. Not to get lost in it, but to give space for it to move through you and alchemise it.

Ep.20 Time Doesn't Heal Wounds! Here's What Does

Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

We’ve all heard the saying “time heals all wounds,” but what if that’s not the whole truth?

In this episode, we dive into why simply waiting isn’t enough and how unprocessed emotions can linger beneath the surface, quietly shaping your life.

Discover how creating safety in the body and addressing stuck energy from overwhelming experiences can lead to true healing. Tune in to explore what really frees us from the past.

Ep.19 Everything Is A Mirror & Why It's Important

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode we explore how seeing everything as a mirror can expand your awareness & consciousness and deepen your journey into healing, growth and development.

I share some personal examples of how even the smallest of moments when met with curiosity can be significant windows into our behaviours and conditioning and portals towards change.

Ep.18 Not Rushing Forgiveness

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In today's episode, I explore a common "mistake" when it comes to forgiveness that often leads to bypassing and can actually block deeper more meaningful healing.

Sun, 19 Jan 2025 08:00:00 +0000

In today's episode we get into the nitty gritty around triggers and why you keep getting triggered AND what you can do about it.

Ep.15 Fill Your Cup & Give From The Overflow

Fri, 03 Jan 2025 21:00:00 +0000

One of my themes for 2025 is to fill my cup and give from the overflow. In this episode I share my journey with this theme why it is so crucial for not only your relationship with yourself but every relationship in your life. I discuss some of the blockages I often see particularly with people pleasers and those who tend to put others ahead of themselves. I share prompts for you to reflect on around this theme too.

I share about my upcoming in person event on 18th January Authentic Expansion.

Half a day of diving into shadow work nervous system regulation + somatics practices to dissolve blockages, uncover masks and create more space for a more aligned life and relationships.

#14 Welcoming Mistakes and Failure

Sat, 20 Jul 2024 16:00:00 +0100

How do you feel about making mistakes? Failing? Getting it "wrong"? Slipping up?

What does it bring up for you?

Do you get frustrated, do you feel disappointed, do you shame, blame, or judge yourself?

In this episode I'll share a different way to view your mistakes and an approach to help you to be more welcoming and accepting of those moments where things don't go the way you desire them to.

#13 Super Aware But Still Stuck...

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 21:00:00 +0100

In this episode I speak to why awareness alone won't transform your life.

So many people are super aware, having talk therapy, journaling, reading all the books and listening to all the podcasts and yet they are still playing out the same patterns.

Awareness is the first step and then aligned action comes in...but wait, what stops you taking aligned action, listen in to find out!

#12 My Journey with Intentional Celibacy

Tue, 13 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +0100

At the start of 2020 I chose to embark on an intentional celibacy journey. I realised how much I was being driven by my urges and desires and I wanted to change my relationship with that. It ended up being 18 months before I chose to end my intentional celibacy. I still spent another year without sexual intimacy after that, but I had set the intention that I was open to meeting someone.

This journey meant no sex, no porn, and I reduced masturbation (not necessarily for the best, which I go into in the episode). This journey took me inwards. It shone a light on the way I had been showing up, relating to and seeing women. I am so deeply grateful for all that I learnt on it.

I went in blind and didn't really have anyone who I followed or learnt from on the journey. So my intention with this episode is to share the journey, the transformation that I experienced and some things to be aware of if you choose this journey for yourself.

#11 Be Your Own Case Study

Thu, 25 May 2023 16:00:00 +0100

Go and be your own case study!

You can UNDERstand things, or you can INNERstand them.

From your experience you can start to explore your relationship to that thing, rather than basing your perspective off of what others say.

We are each different beings on different journeys. What works for some people may not be supportive for you, but can you be open to trying and experiencing with curiosity?

#10 How Curiosity Can Change Your Life

Thu, 18 May 2023 19:00:00 +0100

In this episode I talk about the power of curiosity and why you get to invite more of it into your life.

Curiosity brings with it an openness, an opportunity for understanding, to move beyond the "known".

In the absence of curiosity you can develop fixed mindset and be closed off to other ways of being and your expansion.

#9 How to Stop Judging Others

Thu, 11 May 2023 11:00:00 +0100

If you find yourself judging others for where they are at in their journey, this episode is for you.

This can be a beautiful opportunity to use this person as a mirror for your own evolution, healing and growth.

Judgements can limit your connection with those arounds you, and can be a reflection of judgements you may hold around yourself that may actually limit you in how you are showing up.

#8 An Uncommon Way to Find Your Clarity

Thu, 04 May 2023 17:00:00 +0100

The Search for clarity...for answers.

This past week I found myself in this space. I felt like things had been shaken up like a snow globe and I didn't really know what to do next.

I said to a few people "I am looking for clarity".

Maybe sometimes that is the problem.

In this episode I discuss a perspective around finding clarity that brings you back to yourself and your knowing.

If you are looking for support to go deeper on your journey, I currently have 3 x 1:1 Coaching Spaces available - Living With Intention 1:1 Application

I love sharing these conversations with you and they really light me up. If this episode resonated and supported you, share it and tag me on Instagram @kieranpollitt_

I am excited to connect with you

#M1 Meditation for Deep Relaxation

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 11:00:00 +0000

A meditation to support you in deep relaxation.

Meditation has been such a fundamental part of my journey and I love dropping into these states and sharing what moves through. I trust this supports you in what you need.

#7 Quantum Shifts and Transformation

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 19:00:00 +0000

Have you ever had that moment where something just shifts?

Where all of a sudden you see, understand or feel something completely differently.

You unlock this new level of consciousness and see how your old way of being has kept you at the same level.

This past weekend was filled with an abundance of those moments for me.

I attended Quantum Shift, a 3 day event led by Suzy Ashworth, and I have some powerful things to share with you all!

This event has shined a light of awareness onto so many different areas of my life, and I am so excited to share this episode with you and to share these shifts!

#6 - Conflict and Confrontation

Thu, 19 Jan 2023 09:00:00 +0000

CONFLICT! CONFRONTATION!

What comes to your mind when you read these words?

Different people have different relationships to conflict and confrontation.

Maybe you go head to head and fight it out. Perhaps you take flight getting out of there. You may find yourself freezing and shutting down. Or perhaps appeasing and fawning in an attempt to avoid it all together.

In this episode I explore wounding around conflict and confrontation and I share my relationship to it. I share my experiences of this, becoming aware of the wound, understanding it, and part of my healing process around this using inner child work.

I trust this connects with you and shines a light of awareness onto the ways in which this may show up in your life.

#5 - How you do anything is how you do everything

Wed, 07 Dec 2022 14:00:00 +0000

In this episode I explore this phrase "How you do anything is how you do everything" and how it can be used as a lens to view life through. It can be a powerful way of reflecting on how certain behaviour patterns may show up in many different areas of your life. Once you are aware of this you can start to explore both the inner work and outer work to change how this influences how we show up.

As I mention in the episode, I have 5 x 1:1 coaching space currently available. If you are wanting to jump on a connection call and explore the possibility of working together I invite you to fill out the 1:1 Coaching Application Form. https://tmt9rj7q6bm.typeform.com/to/W7xORb6S

#4 - Ways to Connect with Yourself EVEN MORE

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I share ways that you can connect with yourself even more deeply. I talk about areas you get to reflect on and assess in your life, how you can invite in more curiosity, different practices that can support you with this connection.

So much of connecting with ourselves is understanding where we are at, why we do the things we do, why we show up the way we do. From awareness we can start to change. Then we get to have compassion for ourselves for where we are at, and choose how we move forward. We can strip away that which is not truly us and show up as a more authentic version of ourselves.

#3 - Where do you choose to act from? Creating from inspiration and for value

Thu, 20 Oct 2022 10:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I delve into the topic of 'where we choose to act from in our lives? I use my creative process and business as a real time example to explore this further.

I have been reflecting on my creation process recently when it comes to my business, content, events, art and bringing more intention to it. Focusing on acting from inspiration and for value as opposed to being as influenced by the idea of what I "should" do, or "need" to do. That way of doing things before didn't light me up.

In this time of metrics, likes, follows, shares, I have found that they became a focus for me. I became lost in them at times. Birthing my business during a world of lockdowns meant I had a major focus on the online space. It became king to me. So I am in this real shift now around where my focus goes and how I choose to create and show up. Thinking about what's the way I desire to show up in my life, rather than how I think I should.

#2 - Healthy Anger and Expressing It

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 13:00:00 +0100

In this episode, I discuss our relationship to anger. In particular, how it has been modelled to us and created the perception that it is a "bad" or "negative" emotion, and how this can lead to it being repressed.

If you are someone who says that you don't get angry, or that you aren't an angry person, this is the episode for you. That was me!

So in this episode, I provide reflections for you around your relationship with anger and share my anger release process that has changed my relationship with it.

#1 - The Power and Pitfalls of Gratitude

Mon, 16 May 2022 17:00:00 +0100

In today's podcast episode I am discussing gratitude. Gratitude is a truly powerful practice which can help us to bring awareness to all that we are receiving and have. I know that on the days when I connect with this perspective in my morning routine I am much more present for what is presenting itself for me, and appreciative of what I am bringing awareness to.

However, gratitude can sweep people into the space of always having to be positive. I say this having been caught up in that a bit myself for a period of time. Either through a lens of comparison, guilt or just not acknowledging our own experiences. Going blindly into gratitude can lead to bypassing of our emotions.

When we bring intention to this practice, I believe it can be an empowering way for us to really bring our attention and energy to what we are receiving and through that process we can start to see even more of what is available for us.

Introduction to Living With Intention

Sun, 24 Apr 2022 21:05:02 +0100

The start of a very exciting journey. The idea of Living With Intention has been with me for a while and in this brief introduction episode I share a bit about what it is and why I believe it to be so important.
