How did Graham Skidmore get to this place of beginning the Understanding the Science of You Podcast?
In this introductory episode, Graham reflects on his journey, which began with a 21-year corporate career, culminating with the recognition that he had “checked all his success boxes” only to find he was inherently unhappy.
Leaving his corporate career, he began a walkabout journey that gave him a deep trust and belief in the universe, with a drive to help individuals find themselves and their purpose.
“I started to become more and more familiar with who I was underneath all these masks that I chose to accumulate,” he said. “I’m definitely not blaming anybody, I chose to do what I did to fit in, I just never realized that the true toll that it took on me. Only in hindsight was I able to gain that wisdom.”
He speaks about his understanding of accommodations: the tools, technologies, philosophies and perspectives that take us from our current state to our most productive state. He acknowledges how these accommodations, often taken for granted, become glaringly essential when absent.
On his exploration of healing modalities, he notes the common essence that resonates with everyone, asserting that there’s something to learn from everyone and everything. Closing, Graham discusses his Podcast motivations: sharing insights on self-discovery and personal intricacies, hoping to spark thought-provoking comments and reflections from the listeners.
His ultimate goal is to demonstrate different ways of living and inspire others to embrace vulnerability, understand their needs, and ultimately, cultivate a more genuinely happy and productive life.
