Eps 132 - How to Observe Yourself | The Power of Watching, Not Judging

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton continue their conversation on self-awareness with a practical twist: how to observe yourself in real time.

Ash shares a powerful exercise she uses with clients and couples—recording important conversations on video—not to prove a point, but to see yourself with fresh eyes. From unconscious facial expressions to the mismatch between words and body language, this practice offers a mirror for growth rather than criticism.

Dave reflects on how he once used recording as a weapon in arguments, and how shifting that intention toward curiosity changed everything. Together, they explore the difference between observing to control versus observing to understand, and why the goal isn’t perfection—it’s partnership, accountability, and growth.

In this episode:

• How to use recording as a tool for self-reflection, not evidence

• Why most communication happens beyond words

• How to spot the mismatch between what you say and what your body reveals

• What to do when you notice your “performance” on camera

• How to use observation to build conscious relationships

• The “death, burial, and resurrection” model for healthy partnership

• Why collaboration, not competition, is the foundation of love

Ash and Dave invite you to pause, watch yourself without judgment, and use self-observation as the doorway to healing and connection.

Reflection prompts:

• When was the last time you truly watched yourself communicate?

• Do your energy, words, and body language tell the same story?

• How can you turn self-awareness into collaboration, not criticism?
