Wu Wei Wisdom

The Wu Wei Wisdom Podcast is a weekly conversation about life challenges and life lessons, emotional and spiritual health issues, and tools to help you live in effortless flow - ‘wu wei’.

The ancient Taoist principle of wu wei is little understood in the West, and we believe it’s the secret to health and happiness in modern life!

Your hosts are David James Lees, an ordained Taoist monk, emotional and spiritual health teacher and consultant, and Alexandra Lees, a mindset and business coach.

If you are suffering from emotional pain, stress or depression; struggling with self-criticism or self-doubt; seeking a more satisfying life balance, relationships or career; or searching for a deeper sense of meaning and fulfilment in your life - you are not alone.

We want to help you better understand yourself, regain control of your mind, body, and emotions, and inspire you to reconnect with your true self and purpose.

Each episode blends spiritual and philosophical ideas and insight with our real-life professional experience supporting clients worldwide.

New episodes every Saturday.

When Inner Child Work Is Complete: How Healing Turns Into Freedom
Discover why healing is not endless self-work — it’s the moment you finally feel safe enough to live freely, lightly, and fully as yourself. This is part 4 of our powerful 4-part Inner Child series for 2026. In this episode, we explore the profound shift from healing to integration — the stage where emotional regulation becomes natural, self-monitoring falls away, and your calm adult self leads with ease.

Learn how playfulness, spontaneity, emotional resilience, inner peace, and effortless living return when safety becomes embodied. This is a powerful guide to Inner Child integration, emotional healing, Taoist wisdom, nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and living with calm, presence, and freedom.

The Joy Paradox: Why Joy Comes When You Stop Chasing It | Tao Dialogues
The harder you chase joy, the further it slips away - here's why... In this episode of Tao Dialogues, we explore a powerful Taoist truth: joy isn’t something you achieve — it’s something you allow. Most of us are conditioned to believe “I’ll be happy when…” — but that chase is exactly what keeps joy out of reach. This teaching reveals how the Inner Child creates urgency, comparison, and pressure, while Shen — your deeper authentic nature — guides you back to calm, presence, and enoughness. Discover how practising wu wei (effortless effort) shifts you from striving to flowing — and why true joy appears the moment you stop chasing and start aligning with what already is. Because nothing is missing — and joy has been here all along.
