EP 3606 You have to let go of the vine

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/28

In this episode, I’m talking about the moment you realise the thing you’re clinging to is the very thing keeping you stuck. “Let go of the vine” is the image: you’re swinging across a gap and you refuse to release because it feels unsafe. But the truth is brutal, you can’t grab the next vine […]The post EP 3606 You have to let go of the vine appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3605 Anxiety feeds itself and so does courage

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/27

In EP 3605 of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman breaks down a simple truth most people avoid: anxiety grows when you keep feeding it. Not because you are weak, but because your brain is doing its job. It is trying to protect you. The problem is the protection strategy becomes the prison. You avoid […] The post EP 3605 Anxiety feeds itself and so does courage appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3604 What is the cost of it?

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/26

EP 3604 What is the cost of it? is a blunt audit of the price you are paying, often without noticing. Shaun O’Gorman pulls apart the hidden costs that show up in everyday decisions: the cost of staying silent to keep the peace, the cost of avoiding hard conversations, the cost of chasing performance while […] The post EP 3604 What is the cost of it? appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3603 Why can’t we overthink the best?

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/25

Most people don’t overthink everything. They overthink the worst. One comment from your partner, one email from your boss, one slow week in business, and your brain writes a disaster movie. You rehearse rejection, failure, conflict, embarrassment. Then you call it being realistic. In EP 3603, Why can’t we overthink the best?, Shaun O’Gorman flips […] The post EP 3603 Why can’t we overthink the best? appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3602 What is Vagal authority?

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/24

In EP 3602 of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman breaks down the concept of vagal authority and why some people can walk into pressure, conflict, or chaos and instantly change the energy in the room. This is not charisma, status, or volume. It is nervous system regulation, the capacity to stay grounded and connected […] The post EP 3602 What is Vagal authority? appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3601 What is your programming?

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/23

We pull the curtain back on the invisible code that runs your life. Most people think they are making conscious decisions, but they are mostly executing old patterns that were installed through childhood, culture, trauma, peer influence, relationships, and the job they do. That programming shows up in the same places again and again: the […] The post EP 3601 What is your programming? appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3600 Do you suffer from productivity dysmorphia?

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/22

In this episode, Shaun O’Gorman breaks down a modern trap that’s quietly crushing good people: productivity dysmorphia. It’s the distorted belief that you’re never doing enough, even when you’re performing, progressing, and carrying serious responsibility. You look at your week, your body of work, your family load, and your leadership demands and still feel behind.

2026/01/21

In EP 3599, What is your highest ROI behaviour change, Shaun O’Gorman cuts through the noise and asks a ruthless question: if you could only change one behaviour that would create the biggest improvement across your life, what would it be? This episode is about leverage. Not motivation. Not a new routine you do for […] The post EP 3599 What is your highest ROI behaviour change? appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3598 Stop running away from what you don’t want

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/20

Most people don’t fail because they can’t do the work. They fail because they keep running from the thing they most need to face. In this episode, I break down why avoidance looks like comfort, but it quietly destroys your confidence, your relationships, and your results. If you keep distracting yourself, blaming timing, waiting to […] The post EP 3598 Stop running away from what you don’t want appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3597 Be behaviour based not results based

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/19

In this episode, I challenge the trap most people live in: judging your life by outcomes you can’t fully control. Results are noisy. They’re influenced by timing, other people, the economy, the algorithm, injury, weather, luck and variables you’ll never master. When you build your self-worth, motivation, and discipline on results, you become emotionally fragile.

2026/01/18

In EP 3596 Haters are just unfulfilled, Shaun O’Gorman breaks down a blunt truth most people avoid: the loudest critics are rarely your real problem, your reaction to them is. This episode unpacks why “haters” so often show up when you start improving, building, or leading, and why their negativity usually says more about their […] The post EP 3596 Haters are just unfulfilled appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3595 Why is fear so paralysing

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/17

Fear isn’t just an emotion. It’s a biological alarm system designed to keep you alive. In this episode, I break down why fear can feel so paralysing, even when the threat isn’t real, immediate, or rational. When your nervous system reads danger, it prioritises survival over logic. That’s why you can know what to do […] The post EP 3595 Why is fear so paralysing appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

The Strong Life Project ·

2026/01/16

Most people think the goal is to climb faster. Work harder. Get more done. Win more. But here’s the brutal truth: you can spend years doing everything “right” and still end up miserable if you’re climbing the wrong ladder. In this episode, I break down why high achievers often feel flat, restless, or secretly resentful […] The post EP 3594 Don’t get to the top of the ladder and realise it’s against the wrong wall appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

EP 3593 The parable of the Mexican fisherman

2026/01/15

In this episode, I unpack the parable of the Mexican fisherman and why it punches so hard if you’re ambitious, driven, and chasing the next milestone. A tourist watches a fisherman bring in a catch, then suggests “improving” his life: buy a bigger boat, hire staff, scale the operation, build a fleet, sell to a […] The post EP 3593 The parable of the Mexican fisherman appeared first on The Strong Life Project.

In episode 3592 of The Strong Life Project, Shaun unpacks a simple truth that most high performers forget when life gets rough: you don’t control the ocean, you control your response. The “waves” are pressure, setbacks, conflict, fatigue, uncertainty, grief, and the problems that show up at the worst time.

2025/12/27

One of the fastest ways to drain your energy is trying to change people you fundamentally do not understand. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman cuts through the frustration many people feel in relationships, leadership, family, and work when logic, effort, and good intentions still change nothing.

2025/12/26

Change is inevitable. Resistance is optional. In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman challenges the reflex to fight change and explains why the people who thrive are the ones who adapt early and act decisively. When you waste energy wishing things were different, you fall behind.

Mediocrity is not a lack of talent. It’s a lack of standards.

EP 3569 Nothing is pre-determined

2025/12/21

Too many people live as if their future is already written. Their past defines them. Their mistakes label them. Their circumstances decide their ceiling. That belief is comfortable, and it is also destructive.
