Stepping Beyond Blame: Embracing Responsibility and Growth
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
Sunday Feb 23, 2025
Have you ever felt weighed down by the blame game, whether from the news headlines or those everyday personal interactions? In this episode of Life, Passion, and Business, I'm diving into this very topic, challenging us to rethink how we perceive blame, responsibility, and, ultimately, our own potential for growth.
You know how the world feels pretty chaotic these days, with politics seeming like a never-ending blame fest? It's not just about pointing fingers; it's become a clever tool for evading responsibility. But that's not where the story ends—in fact, it's just the beginning.
I'm inviting you to take a more personal turn. Think about the stories you tell yourself and how they could be shaped by the culture of blame around us. Could there be a more empowered narrative waiting for you? By stepping back and considering our own roles in life’s mishaps, we open the door to personal growth and stronger relationships.
Let's chat about it: Do you find yourself sometimes on the defensive, quick to point out not my fault? Guess what—you're not alone, but understanding why we do this can lead us to a more compassionate and connected life.
Join me as we unravel the nuances of blame from the playground to politics and explore how a shift in perspective not only unburdens us but also enhances creativity and trust. Together, we can step away from blaming and towards understanding, healing, and creating a life of passion and purpose.
And before you go, if this hits home or you know someone who might benefit from our chat, please share this episode with them. Let's spread the positivity, my friend! 🎙️

Crafting Your Perfect Day: Beyond Duvets and Books
Sunday Feb 09, 2025
Sunday Feb 09, 2025
How do you measure your day? What does it take to craft the perfect day? Think about it—what makes a day perfect? Is it money, satisfaction, or the precious time well-spent? Perhaps it's something else entirely! I'm Paul Harvey, a midlife coach, and my opinion has long been that our stories shape everything we do, feel, or experience. Let's explore how our daily rituals and little surprises can bring us closer to those perfect moments.
Let's admit it, we all have those 'blah' days where nothing seems right. But have you ever sat down to actually define what a perfect day looks like for you? For some, it's lounging in bed with a book; for others, it’s a cozy café with a pot of Earl Grey. Let's question if that image holds true every single day. What if perfection isn't an everyday occurrence but an extraordinary happenstance?
I’ve had chats with people who often realize in hindsight that a surprise or unexpected twist made their day perfect—an uplifting conversation, a random act of kindness, or just sipping a fabulous coffee paired with something sweet. We can't engineer surprises, but we can craft habits and create space for those little joys to make a day special.
Morning rituals, like stretching or enjoying a leisurely coffee, set the tone. You know your perfect ingredients—a bit of workout, family time, progressing on a fun project, sound familiar? Take the time each morning to figure out what you wish to accomplish. Planning gives room for those desired elements to flourish, bringing a sense of fulfilment by day's end.
Ultimately, perfect days are about capturing moments of gratitude. Reviewing the successful parts of your day and feeling thankful magnifies life's joys. It's all about valuing what you have and how you spend your time. So here’s a little nudge—how do you measure your day, and why not allow a hint of perfection to bloom each day?
Share these thoughts with a friend, and let’s keep this uplifting conversation going! Thank you for tuning in, and here's to savouring our days with more purpose and joy. Catch you next time!

Embrace Your History to Shape Your Future
Sunday Feb 02, 2025
Sunday Feb 02, 2025
We all have a history, a biography that we've been scripting as we move along. Some parts are new chapters written in the moment, while others are well-trodden paths we can't alter. Yet, even within this framework, we choose how we let our past influence our future.
It's true life can be unpredictable and sometimes a bit daunting, like an aeroplane constantly adjusting its course to stay on target. Despite the track behind us being unchangeable, the journey forward is ours to navigate. So, why not be selective about which parts of your past take the front seat in your life's vehicle?
Over the last six years, hundreds of guests have shared their life stories with me, opening up about the decisions that allowed them to take charge of their history rather than be steered by it. Their stories are a testament to the power of choice in our personal narratives. After all, everyone sees the world from their unique vantage point, and what seems like a mountain to one might be a molehill to another.
Of course, some burdens are heavier to bear and may require professional guidance, but for most of us, addressing past experiences is an ongoing process. In this podcast, we explore how we choose our actions, but more than that, we look at the importance of choice despite our history.
Our minds are potent tools of transformation. They help us become who we truly aspire to be, rather than being confined by past events or inherited fears. So, let's explore and embrace this journey together.

Rediscovering Joy: A Journey Into Unexpected Happiness
Monday Jan 27, 2025
Monday Jan 27, 2025
Have you ever wondered if joy is something you actively chase or simply stumble upon?
I was with a group this morning and we were exploring how joy is felt and experienced it was wonderful to hear so many takes on the importants of finding joy and its impact of daily life. I had the opportunity to reminisce about a heartfelt story from 2011, where an unexpected detour with my son turned into a magical memory full of laughter and love.
In this episode, we will explore how to rediscover that childlike wonder and the power of surprise in sparking joy.
In the hustle of adulthood, joy often seems elusive. But can we cultivate it by being present and mindful? Let’s explore together how, even amidst life’s chaos, simple practices like gratitude can rekindle that spark. After all, finding joy is about noticing the sensational ‘now’—whether it’s a surprise encounter or enjoying a solitary cup of coffee.
So, let’s connect, chat, and find out how you can become the master of your own joy! Remember, life isn’t just about pursuing happiness; it’s about embracing the joyful surprises that come your way.
Thank you for joining me on this reflective journey. Until next time, stay open, stay hopeful, and keep embracing life’s wonderful ride.

Embracing Change: Because Change is Constant
Sunday Jan 19, 2025
Sunday Jan 19, 2025
On this pod, we're tackling one of life's biggest constants—change.
Have you ever felt the world spinning a bit too fast under your feet? Maybe it's the political upheaval as a new President steps into the White House tomorrow, promising shifts that have left many of us holding our breath. But beyond the headlines and politics, change is an inevitable part of our personal lives, too. Whether it's a child's rapid growth, career shifts, or even the unexpected losses we endure, change knocks on our door almost daily, challenging our desire for stability.
Together, let's explore how we can build resilience to cope and thrive amidst this ever-changing landscape. I'll share personal anecdotes, like my journey with my son's growth, which taught me to embrace the beauty of life's constant evolution. It's a reminder that even as life throws us curveballs, there's always something valuable to learn and adapt to.
In this episode, I also touch on the daunting task of dealing with change in conflict zones—an area beyond my coaching expertise, yet one that demands empathy and courage. While we may not have definite answers, there's a shared understanding that every upheaval, no matter how arduous, carries the potential for growth and renewal.
So, let's embark on this discussion, trusting that something good is waiting on the other side of change. I invite you to share your thoughts and stories, and perhaps even discover ways to harness the power of change positively in your own life.

Unlocking the Power of Presence
Sunday Jan 12, 2025
Sunday Jan 12, 2025
Have you ever caught yourself drifting away in a conversation, waiting for your turn to speak rather than truly listening? You're not alone! We're wired to swing between past memories and future possibilities, but the real magic happens right here, right now, in the present moment.
This episode is all about exploring what it means to truly be present and how powerful it can be. Imagine having all your resources at your fingertips, ready to transform every interaction and experience.

Just a few deep breaths before reacting can make all the difference, whether in a simple chat or a high-stakes meeting.
We'll dive into the importance of heartful engagement, whether it's stopping to take that refreshing 'mind wash' in between meetings or recognizing triggers when your mind wanders. Think of it as hitting the reset button for clarity and focus.
Being present is a game-changer—it grounds us, keeps us real, and shines a light on the here and now. I'll share tips and reflections to help you see how being present changes your day-to-day life, nurturing a deeper connection with yourself and the people around you.
So, come join me on this journey of presence, and let's unlock the potential of every moment together. Until next time—be present, be powerful! 🤗

How Epiphany and Traditions lead to change.
Sunday Jan 05, 2025
Sunday Jan 05, 2025
Happy New Year! 🎉 I hope this brand-new year brings you everything your heart desires. As we kick off 2025, let’s dig into something truly special: the idea of making this year exceptional by embracing new traditions and deep insights. What if I told you that the key to a better year could come from a delicious cake?
Ok, you are not going to have an epiphany by eating cake, but it was the cake that inspired the conversations and the intention that made the difference.
Let me take you on a journey that starts with a French King cake I discovered years ago during my travels in France.
La galette des Rois
It is a sweet pastry filled with almond goodness, with a hidden surprise inside—a bean or a coin. Whoever finds it gets crowned "king" of the party! This delightful custom blossomed into an annual tradition in my home, resulting in an Epiphany celebration that blends festive joy with meaningful reflections.
This podcast episode explores how a simple king's cake has become the centerpiece of introspection and personal growth. At our Epiphany parties, we gather friends and family to reflect on crucial questions: What wisdom did you stumble upon in 2024? What inspiration fueled your journey? These gatherings are not just about celebration; they're about finding where your wisdom lies and planning your path forward.
Epiphany and Traditions
In a world where past experiences shape us, we get to decide which lessons we take with us. Reflect, write in a journal, and illuminate your path with the wisdom and inspiration of the past year. This practice is a gift to yourself, a tool for personal growth.
I’m inviting you to join me in this reflective experience. Light a candle from the central light of shared wisdom—a metaphorical gesture—and let's shine brighter together in 2025. And remember, I’m always here to hear your thoughts. Visit lifepassionandbusiness.com to explore resources or reach out to me directly. Cheers to an enlightening new year, my friend! 🌟

Resolutions, or true intentions?
Sunday Dec 29, 2024
Sunday Dec 29, 2024
It is the last Sunday of 2024, and we're nestled in the cosy time known as Betwixtmas - that calm lull between Christmas and New Year's Eve. But instead of the usual resolution-filled chatter, let's flip the script and focus on what you truly want in life.
This is the perfect time to pause and reflect on what really makes your heart sing. Gone are the days of blindly chasing goals set during a New Year's champagne toast. Instead, consider what actually brings you joy. Was it simple moments with family or perhaps triumph at work? Let's shed the facade and focus on what matters.
For 2025, it's about setting intentions, not rigid resolutions. Craft a list of what you want and why it matters to you. Use this newfound clarity to steer your year toward fulfilment and enrichment. It's about balance—balancing health, relationships, and work.
Join me in ushering a calm, inspiring new year.
Let's support each other in this journey. If today’s conversation resonated with you, pass it on to a friend who needs to hear it, too. I wish you a healthy, wealthy, inspiring 2025!

Reflect, Relate, Recharge: Crafting Your Yearly Narrative
Sunday Dec 08, 2024
Sunday Dec 08, 2024
Every December, I craft a family newsletter that lets us peek back at the journey we've been on throughout the year. It's more than just a factual account. It’s our story, filled with the highs, lows, and everything in between.
Thinking back, the winter solstice plays a significant role in this reflective process for me. It symbolizes the return of the light, making December the perfect time for looking back and planning our next adventures. Can you imagine tracing the lines of your own narrative, seeing the threads that connect your past with your future?
So, how about you give it a try? Even if newsletters make you yawn, taking a moment to ponder your year can be a transformative experience. What stood out for you? What were your big takeaways? And if you felt underwhelmed, what might you change moving forward?
Anyway, if you ever want to chat about this or need a little nudge, you know where to find me. And don't forget to swing by lifepassionandbusiness.com; there are tons of resources there to help with your journey. Until next time, take care and keep exploring!

How Do You Define Success?
Sunday Dec 01, 2024
Sunday Dec 01, 2024
We need to talk about success. Society, politics, and the media are mesmerised by it, yet most of us never take the time to understand what it means. From childhood achievements like learning to talk to adult milestones, how we define and measure success shapes our entire journey.
Have you ever wondered whether your version of success is truly yours or merely a reflection of societal pressures?
It's about moving beyond the numbers game and finding true fulfilment. Whether it’s financial stability, nurturing relationships, or personal well-being, different areas of life offer varied success metrics, each tied to your true values.
Join me to explore what makes you feel successful beyond what money can buy. Let’s rethink success as we share this thought-provoking journey. And, take a moment to consider what success means to you—how do you measure it? Let’s redefine the narrative together.

They’re the essence of what we feel and do, so let's explore what makes a life truly fulfilling.

Join me as we unravel the secrets to living a vibrant life, exploring the ups and downs, and finding what truly makes us tick. It's not always about being the Jedi Knight saving the universe; sometimes, it’s about discovering what truly brings us joy and fulfilment.
We'll chat about the magic of routines, how they can be the backbone of our daily lives, and why they might be the key to unlocking happiness. Whether it's through helping others, embracing change, or finding those little moments of pride and gratitude, there’s a journey for everyone. Let’s find out if the hero’s path resonates with you or if there’s another narrative waiting to be discovered.

If Not Now, Then When? Is it time to choose
Sunday Oct 27, 2024
Sunday Oct 27, 2024
This show explores a thought-provoking topic: "If not now, then when?" We all ponder this question at different points in our lives. We have dreams and ideas that seem exciting and fulfilling, but for some reason, they always seem just out of reach.
Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to start something new? Maybe you're in a situation where things aren't quite right, hoping for a sign to make a change. Well, what if I told you that sometimes the sign doesn't come, and you are the one who decides when the time is right?
In this episode, we're exploring how to recognize when to take action and make those dreams a reality. Whether it's a big adventure or a small goal like getting fit, it's all about setting an agenda and planning to achieve it. We'll also discuss the importance of writing down your goals—because, let's face it, if it's just in your head, it tends to stay there.
I'll share some personal insights and stories, including my own journey with fitness and how I plan to tackle my goals for the coming year. Plus, I'll challenge you to write down ten things you'd like to achieve in the next ten years. It might surprise you what ends up on that list!
So, are you ready to stop waiting and start doing? If not now, then when? Let's get inspired and make a plan to turn those dreams into reality. And hey, if you need a little extra support, check out Life Passion and Business for coaching and resources to help you along the way.

Embrace Your Evolution: Reflecting on Life's Journey
Sunday Oct 13, 2024
Sunday Oct 13, 2024
Hey there, my friend! 🌟 Welcome to a space where we dive deep into the stories that shape our lives. I'm Paul Harvey, your go-to midlife coach, and today, we're on a journey of reflection—looking back at how far we've come and the evolution we've experienced.
This shortcast is like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day—comforting and thought-provoking. We're chatting about the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape our reality. You see, it's not just about where we are but where we've been and how those experiences have molded us into who we are today.
Let me share a bit about my own story. This podcast adventure began back in 2018, sparked by the realization of how crucial it is to live a life full of passion and purpose. Life threw some curveballs my way—losing my dad, my son's big leap to university, and my wife's Parkinson's diagnosis. Yet, these experiences have been a catalyst for change, teaching me invaluable lessons about resilience and growth.
Now, let's flip the script to you. What's your story? How have you shifted over the years? Have your values taken a turn, and are certain things more important now? It's fascinating to reflect on how we've adapted and evolved. Maybe you faced a challenging situation in the past and handled it differently than you would now. That's evolution, my friend!
Life is a never-ending journey, and each moment is an opportunity for growth. Even when things get tough, remember that you're capable of more than you might think. Look back at your past successes and let them remind you of your strength and resilience. Sometimes, it's not just about thinking differently but taking action to change your situation.
And hey, don't forget about gratitude. When life feels overwhelming, focusing on what you have can bring a sense of peace and perspective. So, take a moment to appreciate the journey, the lessons learned, and the person you've become.
As I ponder my own expansion and where to take this podcast next, I invite you to be part of the conversation. Your thoughts and feedback are invaluable to me, so please reach out and share your ideas. Let's keep this journey going, exploring new paths and stories together.
Thanks for being here, for sharing this journey with me. If you enjoyed this episode, don't hesitate to spread the word. Share it with a friend who might need a little reflection and inspiration in their life. And if you're up for it, leave a review or give us some stars—they help us reach more amazing people like you.
Until next time, keep evolving and embracing the beautiful journey of life. Catch you later! 🌈

Free Up Your Energy: Letting Go of the Baggage
Sunday Oct 06, 2024
Sunday Oct 06, 2024
In this bite-sized episode, I'm diving into the world of sentiment and baggage. You know, all those things we collect over the years that start to weigh us down. Trust me, I get it – my wardrobe's got clothes I haven't worn in ages, and my garage? Let's not even go there!
This conversation is all about understanding why we hold onto stuff and, more importantly, how to let it go. It's not just about clearing physical space; it's about freeing up energy and creating room for new possibilities. Remember that Marie Kondo's question, "Does it bring me joy?" It's time to really think about that.
I've been helping a friend downsize recently, and wow, the things we accumulate over decades! It's been a real eye-opener, and it's made me reflect on my own habits. So, I'm sharing some tips and tricks on how to tackle your own clutter, one step at a time. Whether it's your wardrobe or that drawer full of who-knows-what, there's a sense of freedom in letting go.
And hey, it's not just about the physical stuff. Next week, we're delving into the internal baggage we all carry. Because let's face it, we've got some head trash to clear out too!
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this journey of decluttering. How are you doing with your stuff? Could you see yourself releasing some of it? If this episode resonates with you, share it with a friend who might need a little nudge too. Let's make space for new adventures together!
