  • Executive Loneliness: Why Leadership Feels Isolating (And How to Fix It)
    Feb 8 2026

    Why do successful executives feel profoundly alone despite being surrounded by people? In this three-part episode, we explore Executive Loneliness—the hidden cost of leadership that undermines performance and wellbeing.

    Trevor and Joe examine the Corporate Shield and the three walls executives build: the Wall of Competence (fear of appearing weak), the Wall of Privacy (emotional isolation), and the Wall of Fear of Manipulation (inability to trust).

    Learn practical solutions: the Three-Person Rule for creating a safe inner circle, Vulnerability as Inquiry for strategic openness, and the Authenticity Anchor for building genuine team connections.

    Topics covered: executive isolation, leadership loneliness, imposter syndrome, vulnerability in leadership, nervous system regulation, building psychological safety, authentic leadership.

  • The Petty Executive: Why Reply-All and Meeting Hijackers Are Stealing Your Focus | Labyrinth Mind
    Feb 1 2026

    You've mastered multi-million dollar negotiations—so why does a "Reply-All Thanks" email derail your entire morning? In this refreshingly honest episode, mindset coach Joe and hypnotherapist Trevor give you permission to be petty about the small workplace failures that reveal massive cultural problems.

    Discover why seemingly trivial annoyances (Reply-All apologies, meeting hijackers, the passive-aggressive "Best" sign-off, phantom Zoom participants, and the dreaded "parking lot") aren't just irritating—they're micro-thefts of your most valuable resources: time and focused attention. Learn why labelling communal coffee creamer reveals cultural bankruptcy and why these small acts of thoughtlessness expose fundamental failures of professional discipline.

    This episode delivers a serious takeaway wrapped in humour: respect for time IS executive discipline. Learn the Attention Audit challenge—two simple behavioural changes that stop you from unconsciously stealing focus from others and demonstrate genuine leadership through clarity, not jargon.

    Perfect for executives exhausted by digital chaos, meeting culture dysfunction, and colleagues operating on autopilot. Sometimes the small stuff reveals the big problems.

  • The Imposter Is a Protector: Why Your Inner Critic Is Trying to Save You | Labyrinth Mind
    Jan 25 2026

    You're a successful executive with proven results—so why does that voice still whisper "I'm a fraud"? In this paradigm-shifting episode, mindset coach Joe and hypnotherapist Trevor reveal why fighting your inner critic is futile: it's not your enemy, it's a misguided protector trying to save you from shame.

    Discover the hidden positive intention behind imposter syndrome and why your inner critic uses self-attack as a pre-emptive shield against external judgment. Learn how this "protector" manifests in three destructive patterns: procrastination of perfectionism (endless refinement to avoid judgment), avoidance of visibility (staying small to stay safe), and unrelenting self-attack (depleting your reserves before the world can).

    This episode delivers the Protector Interview Technique: a three-step hypnotherapy-based method to transform your inner critic from enemy to strategic partner. Learn Tactical Validation (disarming the alarm), the Data Exchange (filtering noise from insight), and Active Commissioning (giving your protector a productive new role as Director of Quality Control, not Chief of Internal Attacks).

    Stop fighting yourself and start negotiating with the terrified bodyguard inside. Perfect for high-achievers exhausted by perfectionism and self-doubt despite objective success.
