Join myself and Sharmadean Reid, the powerhouse behind the Stack World and author of "New Methods for Women." Our conversation is exploring her book, which is set to hit the shelves on June 27, 2024.  It is a toolkit for women to craft their futures, drawing on insights from her own experiences and transformation together with observations from the world, her large community and studying the work of others.

Sharmadean offers a compelling perspective on the echoes of intergenerational experiences, the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-sufficiency, particularly for millennial women, and the profound impact of our attachment styles on the journey towards healing. And when it comes to the art of communication, her wisdom sheds light on cultural narratives and discerning fact from opinion, providing a different way to really consider how we all speak and use our words.

Finally, let's not forget the influence of myths on gender equity and societal norms. Sharmadean invites us to reimagine these stories. To continue the conversation and become part of this much bigger conversation, you can follow Sharmadean on Instagram HERE

Have you ever found yourself sapped of energy, struggling to maintain positivity, or just feeling off-kilter? I'm inviting you to look at the vital role our ‘state’ plays in our day-to-day existence.  I discuss how the ebbs and flows of our energy and emotions shape our narratives and beliefs. We'll tackle the art of self-affirmation, sharing personal anecdotes on how you can leverage this simple routine to uplift your state of mind and take charge of your self-awareness.

We all have our unique rhythms that dictate when we're most effective, and it's time we honor that individuality. This episode isn't just about questioning the conventional workday; it's about redefining what successful work habits look like for you. By understanding the power of positive discipline and recognizing our own needs, we can prevent burnout and keep our creative fires burning bright.  Forming strategies for personal growth and thinking about how to dismantle the self-imposed barriers that may be hindering your true potential.

Lastly, we'll explore the broader implications of being attuned to our personal states and how they impact our quest for an optimal life. From the basics of self-care to the influence of movement and meaningful connections, I'll share insights on making wise decisions and avoiding the traps of a low state.

Everyone knows how important I think it is to know who you are, what you like and dislike without just copying someone else to "fit in". My guest today knows this too - she's Bec Morris, a Brand Consultant who holds 15 years of invaluable experience in the industry. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of working with some of the largest and most prestigious brands in the world, gaining an unparalleled insight into what it takes to create a truly successful brand. We had a really interesting discussion all about the importance of getting uncomfortable, creating your own rituals (no, we don't mean sacrificing someone) and why Bec doesn't like the term "personal brand".

Bec and I are talking about:

• What Bec has battled with to get to where she is now
• Checking in with yourself about how you want your life to be
• The problems with the term "personal brand"
• Why we don't avoid the hard stuff any more
• The fact that you are not your business and your business is not you
• Regulating your nervous system
• Blending in or standing out?

You can connect with Bec on Instagram @_becmorris or on her website at becmorris.co.uk.

Chatting ALL the things with Astrologer Francesca Oddie - myself and Fran met many years ago when I used to run a retreat company and she came along just as she was stepping into being an Astrologer. 

From understanding signs, the many layers of astrology, numerology and not it seems - the cards - together with how she ended up looking through the lens of astrology to understand people in relation to each other and being on a TV show advising on this!

Her passion to help people understand their needs, inner conflicts, passions and growth lessons shines through.  Reminding people of their gifts and bringing all of her joy into a reading to help you be more curious for life. 

We also discuss being a modern astrologer and changing the perception of peoples attitude towards astrology.

Although chatting astrology is one thing (and often confusing to many), Fran towards the end of the episode runs through some of the current transits on my chart and discusses me astrologically - we thought it might help you to hear how some of these things translate as a snippet to reflect on what we have been discussing.

I've been having a lot of conversations recently with different types of people who are in different circumstances about the topic of understanding who you are, what you like and don't like, what you stand for, who you want to be and how you want to live it. Then, taking all of this knowledge, and assessing how your life currently is and seeing what is in agreement or conflict with how you want to be living. In reality, most people never consider these things and if that's you, it's totally holding you back from living the life that you deserve!

In today's solo episode, I'm diving into:

• Recognising who you are and what you like and don't like
• Fragility and being afraid of self-development
• Getting into your body and out of your mind
• Being heart-led vs business-led
• Why you need to stop talking into the echo-chambers of agreement
• The word "resilient" and why I think we should stop using it
• Vulnerability and going deep with others

So many of us are terrified of public speaking, but have you ever considered what causes that? It's not usually just a direct fear of speaking! That's why today's episode with Kay Munday, speaking coach, is so valuable - it breaks down to so much more than just opening your mouth on a stage. She is an international speaker and coach on a mission to eradicate labels through the power of storytelling. Kay firmly believes effective story-telling is the most important tool in your toolbox and she draws on the learning within her own journey from dyslexia, an introvert who suffers with anxiety, and a professional who hated all forms of speaking, to a now internationally recognised presence and Google’s go-to speaking coach.

Kay and I are talking about:

• How Kay helps people become better speakers
• Learning how to communicate better with yourself
• Why self trust is so important in changing your life
• Fear of speaking and why that's not usually your problem
• Failure vs learnings
• Doing the right thing for you and putting yourself first
• Processing where you're at before moving forwards
• Learning to ask for help
• Being open about your stories

You can connect with Kay over on Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn, or on her website at kaymunday.com.

Sometimes the best businesses are those that start totally by accident, and my guest today has fallen into a number of her businesses through her own personal journey from recovering from an eating disorder and beginning to share content about that online. Joining me today is Steph Elswood, a health and fitness advocate, professional dancer, director of body confidence workshops 'Stay Sassy', Author of 'Plant to Plate' and Founder of 'Sasstainable', 'Dry Disco' and 'Carouse'. I found her originally as 'Healthy Chef Steph' and instantly connected with her approach to wellness and sobriety. In today's episode, we're going deep into Steph's journey from anxiety following drinking in the pub after her boyfriend's rugby matches, to becoming sober and eventually starting her own non-alcoholic drinks company after noticing a gap in the market.

Steph and I will be chatting about:

• How Steph got started making content to help her recover from her eating disorder
• The companies Steph has started and her newest one, a non-alcoholic drinks range
• Challenges and obstacles that come with running businesses
• Why Steph stopped drinking when she was 22
• How giving up drinking actually gives you the things you were looking for in drinking originally
• People pleasing and sharing your life online
• Authenticity and vulnerability

If you'd like to stay in Steph's circle, you can follow her on Instagram @stephelswood and YouTube @StephElswood and follow her non-alcoholic drinks company on Instagram @drinkcarouse.

A solo episode today - and I'm back with my usual attitude, of course! A question I want you to ask yourself is "is the self-development work I'm doing actually leading me to develop, change and grow?". If the answer is no - we need to work out why, and that's where today's episode will come in handy. If you're taking in all the information, but being passive about implementing it, then you really need to sit down and think about what's truly going on. And if you're blaming the planets, astrology or signs as a reason to wait or why it's not your fault (coming from someone who works with astrology and loves this stuff) - this episode might be a bit of a wake-up call!

Today I'm diving into:

• Why you can't be passive when it comes to self-development
• Taking self-responsibility for changes you need to make
• Getting out of umbrella terminology and looking at facts
• The reason you set such high standards for yourself
• Detangling your self-worth from your business or employment
• What your "personal brand" truly means
• Working out what you need to stop doing instead of what you need to start doing

It takes a lot of bravery to be able to take that leap, and today's guest is proof that when we live life aligned to our values, we can truly thrive. Joining me for this conversation is Fran Millar, who is currently CEO of men's fashion brand Belstaff and previously was one of the founding members and senior management of Team Sky, potentially one of the most successful professional cycling teams ever to exist. While she lives her life mostly offline, in today's episode we cover plenty of topics surrounding her move from sport to business, how successful women are judged and what she believes her strengths are as a leader.

Today Fran and I are chatting about:

• Challenges Fran has faced in a male-dominated industry
• Having the confidence to make changes in your life
• The impact of choosing not to have children

I love exploring different topics within the realm of self-development on this podcast and today's episode is no different. We'll be diving into the wonderful world of breathwork, which if you haven't tried before, can over time allow you to reduce stress and improve sleep and focus, as well as release emotions and understand yourself as breath can be a mirror of lots of our behaviours, physiology and psychology.

Joining me today is Rob Rea, a breathwork coach who worked in banking for 5 years before realising it wasn't his path. His journey with breathwork started over a decade ago in Bali where he discovered within stillness, a sanctuary for creativity, introspection and healing. Over the past decade he has dedicated himself to exploring various breathwork practices and methodologies and his path has taken him on a global adventure, where he has integrated breathwork, meditation & somatic experiencing techniques into his daily life.

Today Rob and I will be chatting about:

• How Rob transitioned from banking to modelling to breathwork coaching
• Why calmness is a practice and what brings Rob back to his calm
• How awareness gives you the power to choose
• The things that hold people back from starting breathwork
• What breathwork can do for you and your body
• Micro-choices and increasing your percentage of change
• How Rob would like to see the breathwork world change in the future

You can connect with Rob on his website at robrea.co.uk or on Instagram at @robrea__.
