After the success of her first appearance on this podcast in November last year, this week sees the return of Pritti Rana.

In our last conversation we discussed the question, 'Why do we feel that we are not good enough?' In this conversation, we talk about Pritti's role as a manager in a cyber security company, and the challenges she finds as one of only a few female managers in the organisation. 
Feeling like she is not taken seriously, being asked why she is not smiling and being told she is too fiery are just some of Pritti's challenges. Sometimes she feels like she can not just be herself and still be seen as a leader. Why does she need to change in order to fit in?
This is a really interesting conversation that I am sure many women will relate to.

This amazing lady, Aki Shigihara, moved to Australia on her own aged 20 knowing very little english.  
Aki was born and raised in Japan. After moving to Australia, she took a nursing degree, which of course was in a foreign language to her.  Not letting anything hold her back, Aki  became a nurse in charge of one of the biggest hospitals in Melbourne. 
By the age of 30 she had travelled to 36 different countries including  trekking in Nepal for 21 days on her own.

So how did someone as confident as Aki manage to find herself in two toxic and abusive relationships, one after the other? Aki talks to me in this conversation about how and why she feels she lost her sense of self and confidence and how she found her way back.

33 year old Aishwarya Panchal, moves through her life journey removing limiting beliefs and blocks, as she goes.
Aishwarya does not let anything hold her back.
She moved from India to the US in 2007 and when her parents decided to move back to India, Aishwarya stayed, alone aged just 19 years old. She became an analyst working in New York.
Despite being great at her job, Aishwarya felt unfulfilled. Not unhappy, just that there was something more she could do with her life. This feeling amplified after becoming a mother and so Aishwarya quit her job.
In this episode, I talk to Aishwarya about her change of life purpose to become a Spiritual Empowerment Coach.
We also talk about our own money blocks and how we improved our individual relationships with the energy of money.

Neidi de Carvalho has been physically active since her father persuaded her to be his running partner as a child.  A marathon runner and karate black belt, life coach and psychologist,  Neidi sees how an active lifestyle can help you better manage stress, as well as help you to relax better at the end of the day.

We talk about how to start a new habit slowly so that it sticks. Our bodies find it easy to make changes for the better, it's our minds that often sabotage us. Neidi says that when we are used to pushing ourselves to make slight improvements every time we train, that translates over into other areas of life. For example, giving you more confidence to apply for a new job, or a promotion.

Find out how you can improve your physical health and confidence by listening to this conversation.

## Apologies for some issues with the audio. Lorcan's story is still a great one despite the slight background noise issue.

My guest this week, Lorcan Moley,  has battled mental health challenges for most of his life.  

Although Lorcan gained a degree in finance at University, he never embraced University life like other students. Falling off a roof during fresher week pranks caused a back injury which has plagued him ever since.  

Although he managed to get through University, Lorcan admits he 'came out a mess'.
Now he had both physical and mental health issues to navigate. But Lorcan strongly believes in himself and his ability to fight off his demons. His journey through pain and addiction, yet determination to heal so that he can help others is inspiring.

Talking to Lorcan, it is clear he is nowhere near the end of his path yet, or even what his true way is. But, I am sure he will get there with his approach of taking one day at a time.

I appreciate Lorcan for being so open and vulnerable in this conversation. If you are someone who suffers from a mental health issue, I hope you will find comfort in knowing you are not alone. 

Lorcan can be contacted via Instagram @lorcanmoley and on Youtube

Imagine a world where gourmet chocolate and sacred plant medicine fuse to ignite a journey of profound healing and wisdom. Can you see it?
This weeks guest, Seamus Black, a retired chef and chocolatier, has not only envisioned this, but he's brought it to life. Seamus intertwines insights from his experiences living within the Native American community, their approach to plant medicine, and his chocolate creations. His personal journey as a transgender male adds another layer of depth to his narrative.

Seamus takes us through the intimate connections with plants from an indigenous perspective and how this relationship can guide our thinking to address trauma with increased compassion. His understanding of plant medicine has culminated in his unique chocolate truffles, an exquisite amalgamation of gourmet taste and plant-based guidance. But that’s not all; Seamus also shares his transition journey and the struggles of being a transgender individual in a society quick to judge.

Weaving a story of acceptance, understanding and empathy, Seamus invites us to explore how indigenous cultures use plant medicine, how it’s incorporated into gourmet chocolate truffles, and how we can foster a safer, kinder world for transgender individuals. Be prepared for the enticing aroma of chocolate and the gentle whispers of sacred plants in this enlightening episode. It's an exploration of the senses, the spirit, and the self. Prepare to be moved, to learn, and to crave for a chocolate truffle.

# TRIGGER WARNING# This episode contains details of domestic and sexual abuse which may be distressing for some. 

Have you ever felt trapped in a toxic relationship? It's an arduous journey that international awareness coach Pauline Grouette knows all too well. 
Pauline returns to share more of her inspiring story.  In this episode, she talks about how she found her way out of an abusive marriage, and how she turned pain into her power.

Pauline's journey is a testament to the transformational power of self-love. She takes us through her experience of childhood sexual abuse, navigating an abusive relationship, and finally, breaking the chain of generational trauma. Through her struggles, she underscores the importance of self-awareness, forgiveness, and the need to break away from what harms us to truly find peace.

Our conversation concludes with a deep dive into Pauline's spiritual journey and personal growth. She shares how meditation and tantric coaching have been instrumental in her healing process. We also explore how her experiences have shaped her into the strong, empowered woman that she is today, and how she used her experiences to protect her children from similar trauma. Pauline's story is a beacon of hope and a testament to the human spirit's resilience. Join us in this intense, inspiring conversation and see how turning adversity into strength can change lives.

Pauline can be contacted via her website: www.guidedjourneycoaching.ca
Paulines new book 'The Other Pauline: A Story of Courage and Determination for Identity' will be published later this year and her other books can be found on her website.
