In this honest and deeply resonant episode, David and Dr. Ashleigh unpack a cultural epidemic that’s quietly shaping our nervous systems, our identities, and our worth — the worship of productivity.

When did being busy become a badge of honour? Why do so many of us only feel worthy when we're achieving something? And what happens when we stop?

Ashleigh opens up about being triggered by her own burnout course (yes, really), while David reflects on how school, parenting, and corporate life all feed into the same story: that doing is more important than being.

Together, they explore the roots of hustle culture, how overachievement gets rewarded from childhood, and the hidden costs of living in survival mode. You’ll hear stories about education, parenting, healing, and the kind of “pit stops” we often only take once it’s too late.

This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and ask: Who taught me that I have to earn my worth?

It's time to reclaim rest, rewrite our internal narratives, and begin healing the performance-based wiring that so many of us carry.

In this heartfelt and expansive final episode of the Universal Laws series, David and Dr. Ashleigh explore two of the most profound laws — the Law of Relativity and the Law of Divine Oneness.

First, they unpack relativity: how comparison can distort truth, why our emotional experiences are valid even if others “have it worse”, and how embracing the uniqueness of your journey brings clarity, compassion, and peace. Through real-life parenting moments and personal reflections, they show how this law is often misunderstood — and how healing can deepen when we stop measuring our worth against someone else’s chapter.

Then the conversation expands into divine oneness — a concept that can feel abstract or elusive but holds the energetic glue behind all the other laws. Ash shares how this law is often distorted into spiritual enmeshment, and David vulnerably opens up about how this has been one of the most challenging laws for him to fully grasp. Together, they explore how true oneness doesn’t mean losing your boundaries — it means healing yourself because it heals others.

Whether you're early on your path or deep in your journey, this episode offers a powerful reminder: we’re not alone, and every ripple of healing matters.

In this rich and resonant episode, David and Dr. Ashleigh return for part three (okay, maybe part four or five… we’ve lost count) of their series exploring Universal Laws — and this time, it's all about rhythm, energy, and the deeper meaning of reward.

They dive into the Law of Rhythm, reflecting on how life flows in seasons and cycles — from the highs of connection and passion to the lows of burnout or disconnection. You’ll hear real-life stories about relationships, parenting, business, and healing, all threaded through the essential truth that everything moves — nothing stays the same.

Next, they explore the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy, uncovering how higher vibrational thoughts and actions can transform lower ones. Whether it’s parenting with compassion, processing trauma, or learning to sit with discomfort rather than bypass it — this law holds profound healing power.

Finally, the conversation turns to the Law of Compensation — and it's not what hustle culture taught us. David and Ashleigh unpack what it means to be rewarded in proportion to the value you offer, and how redefining "value" and "reward" on a soul level changes everything.

From platelet donations to parenting breakthroughs, from surrendering the fight to finding freedom through truth — this episode is full of insight, reflection, and love.

In this enlightening continuation of our Universal Laws series, David and Dr. Ashleigh dive deep into one of the most challenging (and often misunderstood) principles — the Law of Polarity.

Through relatable stories, practical wisdom, and a few laughs along the way, they explore why experiencing contrast is essential for growth and clarity. From navigating masculine and feminine energies to the importance of allowing children (and ourselves) to experience both light and shadow, this conversation brings to life the powerful role of polarity in our personal journeys.

David and Ashleigh also touch on toxic positivity, the importance of shadow work, and how embracing both sides of experience can lead to deeper resilience, wisdom, and emotional growth. Whether you're a parent, a seeker, or simply curious about how these universal laws shape our lives, this episode offers valuable insights you won’t want to miss.

✨ Spoiler alert: What was meant to be a quick chat about several laws became an entire deep-dive into just one — and it’s probably the one most of us wrestle with the most!

Welcome to a brand new Re-Mind Podcast series on Universal Laws – where we explore the wisdom, the misinterpretations, and yes, the occasional spiritual gaslighting.

In this episode, Ashleigh and David dive into four core universal laws:

• Law of Cause & Effect

• Law of Attraction

• Law of Vibration

• Law of Correspondence

But we’re not here to regurgitate New Age Instagram memes. We unpack how these laws actually apply to real life, how they’re often misunderstood or manipulated, and why telling someone “you attracted this” might just be the least helpful advice ever.

This one’s honest, deep, and guaranteed to shift your perspective — maybe even your frequency. If you've ever been told your trauma was your fault because of “low vibes,” this episode is especially for you.

✨ Subscribe for Part 2 next week – we’re just warming up.
