#41 Jack White: Embodiment, attunement & integrated performance
2w ago01:58:11Tap to summarizeIn this conversation, I sit down with Jack White, a coach working at the intersection of elite performance, embodiment, and human behaviour, supporting high-performers who know how to push their bodies, but haven’t yet learned how to listen. With over 15 years in elite sport, movement, and somatic coaching, his work centres on developing strength with sensitivity, shifting from forcing results, to integrating deep attunement. This episode unpacks how psychological patterns show up in the body, and why creating space in the body creates space in the psyche. We discuss how to move from fragmented development to integrated, full-spectrum awareness using practices like Qi Gong as a way to build internal clarity. This is conversation explores what it means to become more attuned, so that your body, psyche, and actions begin to move as one.JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY ⚡️Work with PeteConnect with Pete on InstagramConnect with Pete on FacebookWork with Jack Connect with Jack on Instagram

Mar 1901:57:52Tap to summarizeToday I am welcoming Renate de Koker back into the studio to discuss a rising issue in today's western social paradigm; the battle of the sexes. The conversation begins with the nature of perception, and instead of trying to convince others to see what we see, Renate proposes we bring perception back to the senses. Stop intellectualising, to start witnessing.We explore why women might crave the presence of a grounded masculine, and how deeper levels of relaxation can unlock creativity and spirituality. Pete shares insights from coaching couples in high conflict, reframing relational breakdown not as a matter of blame, but of responsibility. And finally, we address the scientific interface between mind, nervous system, and hormonal system. Proving the fascinating concept of how unprocessed stress, fear, and suppressed emotion can manifest as psychosomatic illness in the body.This episode is a deep inquiry into perception, challenging you to look inward first.JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY Work with PeteConnect with Pete on InstagramConnect with Pete on FacebookConnect with Renate on Instagram

Mar 501:54:15Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sit down with men’s coach, therapist, and co-founder of the Embodied Man Institute, Ryan Barraclough, for a deep conversation on purpose, rites of passage, psychedelics, leadership in intimate relationships, and why brotherhood may be the missing medicine for modern men.Ryan’s path began in adversity with severe asthma as a child, and later, the suicide of a close friend at 26 that forced him to confront his own mental and emotional health. That rupture led him away from the status quo and into the uncharted territory of men’s work, psychotherapy, and initiation.This is a conversation about reclaiming depth in a flawed culture that rewards performance over purpose - share this episode with someone you think will resonate!

Transcribe →#37 Stuart Camps: Natural contemplation and the innate wisdom of animals
Oct 2202:10:42Tap to summarizeThis episode with Stuart Camps is the kind of esoteric conversation I love, where there isn't a beginning, middle or end. Stuart grew up in tribal New Guinea, and was committed to rock climbing in his younger years as a process of self understanding and exploration. He moved to California for 25 years to work with animals, where he was introduced to the concept of natural contemplation. He shares his vast experiences with animals: from inspiring horse training stories demonstrating how to relate to animals differently, to fascinating observations of herd dynamics. This episode offers a snapshot of Stuart's book, Lightning, thunder, cows as he shares deeply interesting spiritual concepts, masterfully told through a series of anecdotal tales from the wild.I hope you feel less fear, and more free, after you listen to this episode. I definitely did! Purchase Stuarts book Lightning, thunder, cows here. JOIN THE SHADOW WORK ACADEMY ⚡️Connect with Pete on InstagramConnect with Pete on FacebookBook in for private coaching

Oct 902:18:50Tap to summarizeToday’s episode is one of my favourites.
