#28 Silence as a Practice
In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore an idea that sounds like a contradiction from the start — how can silence, the absence of doing anything, be something you actively practice? Roy breaks it into two angles: silence as a break from noise and distraction, and silence in conversation itself — noticing how rarely people actually listen, because most are busy rehearsing what they'll say next instead of taking in what's being said. He makes the case that staying quiet and present in a convers...

#27 Creating Space for Creativity
In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore where creativity actually comes from — and land on a shared idea that it's not something you manufacture, it's something you make room for. Catherine explains the philosophy behind her brand, Being Space: that creativity is happening constantly as a natural life force, but most of us are too tangled up in our own drama and mental clutter to notice it. For her, making space means clearing physical clutter, clearing the mind through meditation, yoga, or w...

#26 The Power of Gratitude
In this episode, Roy and Catherine dig into gratitude — not the meme-worthy, 30-day-challenge version, but what actually happens when you practice it for real. Roy shares how gratitude became one of the things that saved him during his darkest period of losing everything, when the phone was full of bailiffs and debt collectors — deliberately turning his mind toward what he still had: his parents' unwavering belief in him, his kid's hug, a roof over his head, food in his belly. Catherine reflects...

#23 Healthy Boundaries
In this episode, Roy and Catherine dig into where their own boundaries most need attention — and for both of them, it's less about other people than about themselves. Catherine opens up about her long, ongoing relationship with screens and scrolling, comparing it to a kind of addiction that never fully disappears, just gets managed better or worse at different points in life — and makes the case that our culture has had thousands of years to learn healthy relationships with things like alcohol, ...

#22 Relationships That Help Us Grow
In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore the relationships that shape who we become. Roy talks about staying close to his mother as a daily sounding board — valued more for her intuition and people-sense than for business advice — and about surrounding himself with people he trusts who are genuinely trying to make things better for others. He shares his approach to friendship as something built deliberately, not left to chance: picking up the phone instead of waiting to be needed, and choosing...

#21 The Gift of Self-Compassion
In this episode, Roy and Catherine ask a simple but surprisingly hard question: can you be kinder to yourself? Catherine recalls the first time someone told her to take better care of herself — and how it landed as criticism rather than care, a reflex she traces back to a lifelong identity of resilience and toughness that left little room for treating herself as someone who also needs love and vulnerability. She didn't start learning true self-compassion until her 30s, and makes the case that it...

#20 Reframing Setbacks
In this episode, Roy and Catherine tackle a question worth sitting with: what if failure actually teaches us something? Roy opens up about losing everything — his home, his belongings, all of it — during the mortgage crisis, and how that setback, rather than breaking him, led him into living mindfully in the present and studying sovereignty, which he now credits with making him more powerful and free than he was before. Catherine pushes back on the word "failure" itself, unpacking the deep condi...

#19 The Stories We Tell Ourselves
In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore the stories we unconsciously tell ourselves — and how they quietly run our lives. Catherine shares a wake-up call from a conversation with a marketing coach, who helped her see the excuses she'd built around avoiding social media ("I'm too old," "my clients won't be on there anyway") — stories that vanished the moment she recognized them as fake. Roy shares two of his own, including a childhood story about when he actually started Kung Fu, and a long-ru...

What You'll Learn in This Episode Why pressure kills momentum and sends you reaching for distractions instead of taking action How Ca...

In this episode of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn get into something that holds more people back than they'd like to admit — the pursuit of perfection. When does attention to detail serve you, and when does it just get in the way? Raw, honest and fittingly imperfect, this one is worth your time. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why Catherine used to edit every pause and um out of her podcast — and why she stopped How Roy launched this very podcast within days o...

In this episode of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn explore one of the most powerful — and most ignored — tools we have as humans.

What You'll Learn in This Episode How this podcast was born from a single intuitive moment — and w...

In this episode of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn get into one of the most underrated qualities a person can have — integrity in the small, everyday moments. The agreements you make with yourself, the things you do when no one is watching, and the courage to call things out even when it's uncomfortable. This one hits close to home.

#8 Authenticity in Action
Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn tackle a word that's been talked about for decades, authenticity, and ask what it actually looks like in action rather than just in conversation. Roy frames it simply: authenticity in action means your word is your bond. If you tell someone you'll have something done by tomorrow or call them back, doing exactly that is authenticity, and he shares how often he sees people talk a good game while repeatedly failing to follow through, forgetting who they are in t...

#7 Leading Yourself First
Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn take on a big question: what does self-leadership actually look like? Catherine reflects on how most of us are trained from childhood to expect leadership to come from someone else, whether it's school, parents, or a boss, and how she initially mistook self-leadership for simple stubbornness before realizing it's really an internal question of what values you want to follow and how you want to show up, independent of anyone else's approval. Roy connects it to...

#6 What Are You Really Chasing?
Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn dig into a deceptively simple question: what are you really chasing? Roy shares how he once chased conventional success, the bigger house, the better car, the properties, until he was completely wiped out through no fault of his own and lost it all. That experience shifted what he chases today: happiness, health, and success measured not by the destination but by enjoying the present journey, choosing businesses that benefit the world, and building something ...

#5 Choosing Response Instead of Reaction
Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn explore the gap between reacting and responding, and why that difference shapes so much of how our lives unfold. Catherine breaks down reaction as a knee-jerk, thoughtless impulse versus response as a more conscious, considered choice, and shares how factors like rest, stress, and confidence all affect which one we default to. Roy shares a personal story of collecting his young son from Montessori school and initially reacting with frustration to his grumpine...

#4 Curiosity Over Certainty
Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn sit down for a conversation about the pull between curiosity and certainty, and why one tends to open life up while the other can quietly shut it down. Catherine shares how being over-certain has, at times in her life, blocked her from learning things she needed to learn, while too much curiosity has sent her chasing so many ideas at once that she loses focus, and why she believes curiosity is ultimately the more creative and life-opening of the two. Roy refl...

#3 The Power of a Daily Pause
In episode three of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn explore something simple but easy to overlook: the power of pausing. Catherine connects the pause to our natural human rhythms, we're not built to be "on" constantly, and explains how a pause interrupts automatic patterns (like getting lost in a screen) and reconnects us to our full humanity. Roy shares perspectives from speaking and podcasting, where pausing gives an audience or guest room to think, and from his own w...

#2 What Does Living Consciously Actually Mean
In episode two of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn dig into a question that gets thrown around a lot, but rarely unpacked: what does living consciously actually mean? Roy shares his take on presence as a daily practice, being fully in whatever he's doing rather than living for the weekend, noticing nature, resisting the pull of the phone, and checking in with himself when something feels off. Catherine connects this to her yin yoga practice and the difference between avo...

In this first episode of Different Points, co-hosts Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn introduce the show and each other. Long-time podcast collaborators and friends, Roy and Catherine explain why they've teamed up for this new format: one topic, two perspectives, no agenda.
