by Dr Ruth Allan | Released Mon 21 Aug 23

Simon Hedley, 'The Strategic Alchemist' joins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 078 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain.' For over two decades Simon has been primarily working by referral, and often privately behind the scenes as The Secret Weapon for Good People Doing Great Things

Leveraging his strong background in audit, structuring and investment banking, he has a unique mind that is able to connect the dots for people and project and identify the missing that makes the difference

He’s also a master of tai chi, and many other disciplines that are focussed on human potential and optimising outcomes

In this episode Simon talks about the importance of pause, stop and reset to optimise your mind. We discuss the difference between connection and communication, the impact our current world is having on our human body and how it performs, and the need to establish a state of flow with your environment to stay functional and in control of your mindset 

This episode took so many interesting twists and turns, and provided a great insight on the importance of the need to pause, stop and reset
