Welcome to the Another Way Podcast
On the podcast we explore how you can stop following the script that society has given you, and start to create your own.
My intention is stoke your inner fire, expand the possibilities of what you could do with your life and help us shift the paradigm for what it means to live a meaningful life.
On the podcast, we’ll explore ideas and meet pioneers that are challenging the status quo, and ultimately help you (and me), find another way.

A completely different approach to shadow work - An introduction to Existential Kink
I am so excited to share this episode with you - Existential Kink is a practice that has changed my life and changed the lives of so many people and clients around me and this episode I'm talking to the creator and author of the practice.
Dr. Carolyn Elliott, now known as Carolyn Lovewell, is a writer, educator, and expert in shadow integration, with a PhD in Critical and Cultural Studies from the University of Pittsburgh. She is best known for her book Existential Kink: Unmask Your Shadow and Embrace Your Power, which explores how embracing repressed parts of ourselves can unlock personal transformation. The book blends Jungian shadow work with a unique approach to finding pleasure in difficult or undesirable experiences.
On the episode, we talk about:
What 'Existential Kink' is
How Carolyn discovered the 'EK' practice
Why we actually love and create our own suffering (and how to change this)
How to use EK to create the life you truly want (and why you don't yet have it)
How Carolyn uses EK in her everyday life and relationship

How do you get the most out of yourself?
This week's guest is a powerhouse! Alfie is an entrepeneur, fitness coach, model, actor and former corporate professional who left the rat race to pursure something more. Alfie shot to social media fame earlier this year (2024), after he created a Instagram account called @alfiegetshard, to share the journey of him completing the 75-hard challenge (go look this up if you don't know it!).
In just a few months, Alfie's account grew to over 100k followers (now 247k), and he then used this momentum to launch a fitness, health and coaching business off the back of it. Originally from New Zealand, but relocated to Bondi Beach, Alfie is the epitomy of what's possible when you back yourself and create your own way.
He's now living the life of his dreams with a bunch of other Kiwi mates who have all created the same lifestyle for themselves. He's team up with best mate Jake Blundell (aka @elastaboy - 661k IG followers) and they've now got their own IG accounts and businesses together, @purebodyeat and @trainpurebody.
In this episode, Alfie and I talk about:
How he got into this world of health and fitness
What it takes to actually show up day in, day out
How to build a brand and business that's aligned with your life
How to squeeze the most out of life, in all areas
