Sort your sh*t out – a focus on mind, body and emotion with coach Sara Southey | Mind Monkeys Ep 8

Welcome to Episode 8 of Mind Monkeys Welcome with Sara Southey - "sort your shit out" coach, guide, mentor, author, personal trainer, and co-founder of The Southey Way Ltd, the health and life skills company she runs with her daughter Jenny. Sara spent years in corporate HR training before a life transformation led her to set up The Southey Way within 24 hours of a conversation with her business coach. A decade later, she helps purpose-led individuals cut through the noise and find their way back to themselves; thriving and enjoying life again. Her bestselling book "SOS Your Life" brings the BestLife RoadMap to anyone she cannot work with one-to-one. This honest, energetic conversation tackles fear of the unknown, the pain point that forces change, why guilt is the biggest waste of time, and how physical movement unlocks mental and emotional progress. 🎯 WHAT WE DISCUSS: Fear of the unknown: the most common thing stopping people from making a change Why everybody has exactly what they need inside themselves (they just aren't taught to trust it) The triple whammy: how physical, mental and emotional health are inseparable How physical movement creates mental movement (including the kitchen counter theory) Why guilt is a conditioned response to someone else's expectations - not yours The A to Z of life: you don't choose A (birth) or Z (death), but you can choose everything in between Most people hit their pain point before they seek change (and why that doesn't have to be the case) Why tiny, controlled, sustainable steps work where big leaps fail The body of evidence: scrolling back to show clients how far they've come Why the brain accepts incremental change but fights sudden transformation How to create change that feels like yours: controlled, decided, sustainable Sara and Jenny: two generations, one shared ethos, two brilliant sets of clients 💡 KEY INSIGHT FROM SARA: "Everybody has exactly what they need inside of themselves. We're just not taught how to use it. We're not taught to trust ourselves." 🏋️ THE PHYSICAL-MENTAL CONNECTION: "When you physically move, you mentally move. And if you can do a workout that felt like a nine out of ten - the hardest thing you've ever done - and you get to the other side of it, your brain goes: if I can do that, what else is possible?" 🗺️ THE A TO Z FRAMEWORK: A is when you're born. Z is when you die. You don't choose either. But the journey between them? Every step of that is yours to decide. 🚫 ON GUILT: "Guilt is one of the biggest wastes of time. As soon as somebody says they feel guilty about something, there's something else there. That's conditioning. That's something other people have taught them is not acceptable." ⚡ THE PAIN POINT PROBLEM: "Everybody that makes a change in their life is coming from a point of pain. But people don't have to wait until something breaks. They just haven't been shown another way yet." --- ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:00 - Introduction: Sara Southey, the Southey Way 01:43 - Fear of the unknown: the most common barrier to change 03:37 - Why everyone already has what they need inside them 08:49 - The shed of strength: physical, mental and emotional in one 10:37 - The A to Z of life: choosing your own journey 13:30 - How change begins: the "I did not sign up for this" moment 18:19 - Nobody is broken: life is always going to life 20:10 - Zero judgement and guilt as someone else's conditioning 23:43 - Creating change that is controlled, decided and sustainable 27:23 - The body of evidence: showing clients how far they've come 33:00 - The kitchen counter theory: clear space, clear brain 40:43 - WYSIWYG: nothing in The Southey Way is AI 44:42 - Two generations, one ethos: Sara and daughter Jenny 48:27 - Where to find Sara and the Shed Socials --- 🌍 CONNECT WITH SARA SOUTHEY: Website: https://www.thesoutheyway.com Email: [email protected] Instagram:   / sara.thesoutheyway   Book: SOS Your Life - available from all reputable booksellers 📅 COMING SOON: Shed Socials return in September 2026 - follow Sara to be notified. 🗓️ NEXT EPISODE: Monday 22nd June, 2pm with Brooke Bownes - streaming live on LinkedIn --- 🍌 You already have everything you need inside you.
