What happens when 17 years of Buddhist study meets the chaos and creativity of entrepreneurship?

In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, Founder and CEO of The Growth Impact Group Kate Gray shares how the two paths that once seemed in conflict—spiritual practice and business—became the same journey of awakening. She opens up about the tension between being a Buddhist and a business owner, how her entrepreneurial work became her greatest teacher, and the moment a Zen parable completely shifted her perspective on what it means to live a "spiritual" life.

From running seven-figure plant medicine retreats to learning that true enlightenment might just mean being a "normal person," she reveals how surrender, mindset, and authenticity turned ambition into a form of meditation—and business into a path to presence.

True alignment doesn't start in the mind; it begins when the head, heart, and gut finally agree.

In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, Paralympic cycling champion, adventurer, author, and mindset coach Dr. Karen Darke shares her powerful perspective on the connection between thought, emotion, and intuition, and how disconnection between the three can manifest in both our health and our lives. Reflecting on her own journey of transformation following a life-changing accident, she explains how learning to listen to her intuition and emotions became the foundation for healing, self-awareness, and purpose.

Drawing on ideas from thinkers like Joe Dispenza and Bruce Lipton, she also explores how energy, emotion, and belief shape our physical reality, and why words and thoughts hold the power to create or limit what's possible.

Positivity can lift you up or quietly wear you down.

In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, award-winning life coach, speaker, and content creator Keshav Bhatt explores the rise of toxic positivity and how well-intentioned self-help messages can sometimes cause more harm than healing. From hustle culture slogans to "good vibes only" mantras, he explains how the constant push to stay positive can silence genuine emotions and overlook the impact of environment, privilege, and social context.

Through personal stories and cultural insights, he shows that real growth comes from balance—recognising both light and shadow, strength and struggle.

Learn how to recognise when positivity turns harmful, set healthier boundaries with the messages you absorb, and build a mindset rooted in authenticity, awareness, and self-compassion.

Most people think quitting alcohol is about willpower, but it's really about awareness.

In this episode highlight of North Star Conversations with Will Polston, founder of One Year No Beer Ruari Fairbairns breaks down the deeper psychology behind our relationship with drinking—why we reach for a glass, what we're actually searching for, and how understanding our triggers can transform the way we cope, relax, and connect. From using alcohol-free alternatives to exploring the real roots of anxiety and restlessness, he reveals how alcohol doesn't soothe our emotions and instead fuels them.

Through practical steps and powerful reframes, he shows how to replace old habits with healthier rewards, from movement and meditation to rest and routine.

It's not just about removing alcohol; it's about rediscovering clarity, calm, and control in every part of life.
