It's the final episode of 2023! What a whirlwind this year has been - and how quickly it's gone! The podcast launched back in March, and we're rounding up 36 episodes in this first week of December, as I think we all just need a bit of space over this crazy season (my thoughts on that - another episode in itself!). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this podcast part of your development routine and my first year in podcasting so successful!

Today I'm chatting about:

• The traits and behaviours of the types of people that I work with
• How I work with my clients to change their thinking and beliefs
• Fears and resistance my clients have to changing
• Helping my clients to separate themselves from their job titles

Join me for my workshop "Pause for Momentum" on 14th December 2023 at 7.30pm. This will be an end of year round-up that isn’t just an acknowledgement of what has happened, but the seeing of the unacknowledged. You will understand how to stop using shitty data to assess yourself, and understand why you are moving in directions that don’t support you.

Today's world can be a really difficult place to grow up in, thrive in and build a community in and that's why today's guest has created her own wellness platform aimed at making wellness and collective wellbeing as accessible as possible, to everyone in all industries. She believes that wellness is a journey that we can go on collectively and by doing it together we can break down more barriers than we could alone.

Joining me on the podcast today is Chloe Pierre, a content creator, author and the Black female founder of thy.self, which she was inspired to launch in October 2018 after struggling to find a space that resonated to her within wellness. Chloe's mission is to make wellness more approachable and accessible to the people that its origins are derived from. Chloe started her career working in fashion PR and over the last decade, has expanded her experience into marketing, where she now serves as a Digital Marketing Consultant for some of the biggest global brands including Nike Jordan, BBC and H&M.

It's so easy for us to feel as though we aren't part of anything bigger and feel swallowed up by things going on in the world, but we are part of the world's ecosystem and for it to begin to heal, we need to heal ourselves too. Join us today for this important conversation!

Today Chloe and I are discussing:

• Collective wellbeing and global healing
• Finding your superpowers by being yourself
• Leaving home young and growing up without a support system
• Wisdom you'd impart to your younger self
• Improving inclusivity and diversity in organisations and communities
• The idea of being an expert
• Your mindset and beliefs changing over time

You can follow Chloe @chloepierreldn on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and TikTok. You can reach her via email for any collaborations at [email protected]. Her book, Take Care: The Black Women's Guide to Wellness is available to buy from all major retailers. You can learn more about Chloe's wellness platform, thy.self, here.

In astrology, a "Saturn Return" is the astrological happening that occurs approximately every 29 years and involves substantial personal growth, hurdles, and transformations. So many of us can relate to the turbulent time that can arrive at the end of your 20s, and in today's podcast episode I've invited on Caggie Dunlop, whose company Saturn Returns aims to guide people through this event. We're going deep into difficult times in our lives, discovering who we are and where we're meant to be going.

Caggie is a multi-talented creative artist, writer, musician and entrepreneur who is best known as the founder of the Saturn Returns Podcast. Based in London, England, Caggie has made a name for herself as a leading voice in the personal growth and self-improvement space, with a focus on finding purpose and meaning in life.

Two questions for you: Would you describe yourself as an all-or-nothing person? And are you proud of it?

If your answers are yes and yes, today's episode is for you. I'm going to be going deep into why your all-or-nothing mentality is actually holding you back and is something you need to learn how to move past. This is something I've worked on myself, and why I am now the bare minimum tortoise! It might sound counterproductive to say that I will do the bare minimum and the easy option and that it has actually skyrocketed my growth, but I promise if you jump into this episode, all will make sense!

Today I'm talking all about:

• How all-or-nothing mentality is a barrier to growth
• Why the bare minimum is where the big difference happens
• My opinion on 12-week transformations and challenges
• How I make the most of bathroom time (it's not weird, I promise!) 
• Becoming the person who does the things you do, not just doing things because they're on the list

On the retreat, when I asked the women to connect with their own masculine energy there was so much resistance to it. They felt disconnected to it, didn't want to feel it, didn't trust it. This was mirrored for them by some of the men that had been part of their lives and also the masculine energy that they previously had that they ended up rejecting. Although they had rejected this part of themselves, it was still leading them, causing internal conflict and prevented the feminine from coming in and having her part in the story. I'm focusing on the masculine in today's episode as not only does the feminine get way more airtime, but the masculine relates strongly to people experiencing hyper-independence, which ultimately is one of the main things I help people work through!

Today I'm chatting about:

• Why I've been prompted to talk more about the wounded masculine and what it is
• The relation between wounded masculine energy and hyper-independence
• Traits relating to masculine energy
• Offering the positive to others and the negative to yourself

If there's anything that life gives everyone - it's lessons! Mistakes and failures are definitely par for the course but it is, of course, what you take from them that determines how you grow and what you move forward with. Today's podcast guest fell into business unexpectedly and our discussion in this episode covers a range of topics, from how she got started, what she's learnt along the way and her favourite life lesson from her dad!

My guest today is Sophie Liard, who started The Folding Lady in 2019 at the start of the global pandemic. Her folding skills were learnt in the department store she worked in from the age of 16. She was taught to fold by many prestigious brands such as DKNY, Ralph Lauren and 7forallmankind.

She transferred her folding and merchandising skills from store to home and now shares her magic with others through her social media platform and first book: The Folding Lady.

Sophie is a self-proclaimed "lover of failure" and I think that is what brings the magic in this episode - the importance of failing, picking yourself up and always continuing to practise, practise, practise!

Sophie and I are diving into:

• The "after value" of organising your space
• Practice and the power of repetition
• Adding things into your daily routine and making them stick
• Improving communication with others in your life
• Retaining privacy as your business grows
• Finding something positive to take from a situation you don't want to be in
• Loving failure and learning from mistakes
• Reflecting on data and tracking metrics

You can check out Sophie's website here and follow her on Instagram and TikTok. Her book, "The Folding Lady: Tools & tricks to make the most of your space & find after value in your home" is available from all major retailers.

So many of us are living in today's world rushing from one appointment to the next, obsessed with ticking off our to-do lists and never really taking a moment to sit down, breathe and just be. This "being" is what Slow Living advocates are encouraging us to embody - do less, be present and feel more. The wonders that this transition can do for your body, mind and soul are totally life-changing. 

My guest today on the podcast is Giselle La Pompe-Moore, a Slow Living advocate, author, speaker and artist. In her work, Giselle explores how we can find quiet joy in everyday experiences, practise quiet rebellion by resisting productivity culture and centre quiet healing without the burden of perfection, so we can work towards a quiet revolution where we slow down for long enough to remember what it means to be human and create meaningful social change. 

Today's episode is really one that will allow you to release the pressure you hold on yourself to always be doing and to learn to find small joys in the world through living slowly and quietly.

Giselle and I will be chatting about:

• The struggle of working in a fast-paced industry
• Slow living and dealing with feelings of guilt
• Acknowledging that you are enough as you are
• The law of attraction, manifestation and coming from poverty
• Meditation and what it looks like in different forms
• Finding joy and discovering what really matters in life
• Faith, spirituality and believing in yourself
• Respecting what your soul desires

You can connect with Giselle on Instagram @gisellelpm and learn more about her on her website. Her book, Take It In, guides us to see that visualisation, wishful thinking and gratitude lists alone can't outwit the very real stuff we're all carrying and is available through all major retailers.

Recently, I got back from the retreat I was on with 11 other women and wow, what a wonderful experience it was! We were looking at the art of receiving, the ability to connect, to be interdependent, to allow ourselves to be supported and to allow ourselves to be seen in a way that we don't always manage to do in day-to-day life. Today's podcast episode is going to be recapping on the experience that we had, what we gained from it and how being around others and going through things together can really add so much to your life. Everybody that comes on retreat comes on their own, but the connections that are made when we all drop our masks and open ourselves up is truly magical.

Today I'm covering:

• The impact that the retreat had on the women that came
• How trusting yourself leads to growth
• Why I'm an advocate for joy
• The definition of healing
• Owning your communication

We all know that people in the spotlight can struggle with their mental health after they've become well-known - from trolls and online bullying, to having every decision and outfit scrutinised by the media, it can be incredibly difficult to feel like you can live your life as you choose. Today's podcast guest, Kaz Crossley, experienced just this after she appeared on the 2018 series of Love Island. I got to know Kaz after she came to me when she was struggling with situations in her life that were showing up on repeat. Now, she runs a thriving women's only combat sports community called Combat Collective which focuses on Muay Thai, a headbands business called KazBands and retreats in Thailand to bring women together to find a community. Kaz is an amazing example of the power of working consistently at your self-development, and in her own words "There's no finish line where I'm done, I'm self-developed!" so if you're ready to feel inspired and motivated by her, press play now!

Today I'm chatting with Kaz about:

• The impact of appearing on reality TV on mental health
• Finding confidence and mental wellness through a new hobby or sport
• Discovering a community through retreats
• How self-development changes your choices
• Low self-worth and low self-esteem
• Learning to become dependent on others in healthy ways
• Finding who you really are and becoming yourself
• Taking responsibility for things you want to change in your life

You can follow Kaz on Instagram @kazcrossley and check out the Combat Collective website here.

There's nothing I love more than joining with people who work in similar ways to me, opening up to each other and sharing stories about our own lives. One of those people is Africa Brooke, who I'm so excited to bring on the podcast today! Africa is a consultant, credentialed coach, strategist, and international speaker with a unique focus: tackling self-sabotage and self-censorship. From starting life in Zimbabwe and moving to the UK at nine years old, watching her parents' relationship decline and feeling like a burden for asking for help from aunts and uncles, Africa really has lived experience of those topics she works with her clients on. Our discussion today is incredibly powerful, covering many different topics that I've touched on the podcast before, so if you're ready for some real-life examples of hyper-independence, self-sabotage and self-censorship, hit the play button!

Africa and I will be talking about:

• Self-censorship through the lens of hyper-independence
• The younger self and where Africa's hyper-independence stems from
• The abandonment wound and ending relationships
• Following through on things you've started
• Binge drinking and getting sober
• Discovering your relationship with responsibility and honesty
