A word for every week of the year!  Endless opportunities for connection.

Conversations from the Heart | The A–Z of Can You Hear You?

What does it really mean to feel connected?

In this episode, C is for Creativity and Connection. We explore what happens when we get out of our heads and into what we feel: creating without judgement, communicating what we actually need, finding the people and places where we feel seen, heard and safe, and learning to trust our own voice.

From creativity and conversation to community, care and cuddles, this is an invitation to notice what connects you, to others, to your life and, most importantly, back to you.

What do you need to say? What is present for you right now? Do you hear you?

B is for BRAVE & BODY | Feel the Fear, Listen to Your Body & Choose Yourself

What does it really mean to be brave, and what happens when your body starts telling you it’s had enough?

In this episode of Can You Hear You?, Kelly Saward explores Brave and Body, the next two words from her book Can You Hear Me? An Emotional Dictionary: Where Feelings Find Their Voice.

We often think of bravery as being fearless, but perhaps courage is feeling the fear, noticing the butterflies and the heaviness in your chest, and choosing to move forward anyway. Kelly reflects on self-trust, courage, difficult decisions, stepping outside your comfort zone and learning when to lose sight of the shore.

Then we come home to the body. Through her own experience of burnout, Kelly explores what happens when we continually put everybody else's needs ahead of our own, and how body awareness, mindfulness, breath, boundaries and slowing down can help us notice the signs before we reach breaking point.

This is a conversation about bravery, burnout, emotional awareness, mental health, mindfulness, self-discovery, personal growth, boundaries, nervous system awareness, listening to your body and choosing yourself.

Because sometimes being brave isn't about pushing harder.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is listen.

On the Other Side of Fear Is the Solution | Liam Sullivan on Addiction, Chelsea & Finding Purpose

What happens when the thing that once helped you escape becomes part of the path that leads you home?

In this deeply open conversation, Kelly Saward is joined by filmmaker Liam Sullivan to talk about grief, addiction, alcoholism, sobriety, football, filmmaking, mental health, identity and the experiences that have shaped the man and creative he is today.

Liam lost his dad suddenly at just 14. In the years that followed, Chelsea and football became an escape, an identity and a place to put some of what he was feeling. His love of football would eventually intertwine with another passion: filmmaking.

From creating Chelsea compilations as a teenager to building a career behind the camera, working alongside some of the biggest names in football and helping grow John Terry’s YouTube channel, Liam’s story is one of persistence, creativity and finding purpose in the things that make us feel most alive.

But behind the career is another story.

Liam speaks candidly about his battles with alcoholism and addiction, the importance of talking when life feels impossible, his journey into sobriety and recovery, and why asking for help can be the beginning of everything changing.

As Liam says:

“On the other side of fear is always a solution.”

Kelly and Liam explore what happens when we stop hiding what we feel and begin to ask some much bigger questions:

Who am I beyond my work?

Who am I beyond what has happened to me?

Where do I belong?

What does recovery really look like?

And what becomes possible when we use our experiences not only to change our own lives, but to help somebody else?

They also talk about spirituality, a higher power, 12-step recovery, meditation, imposter syndrome, community, World Yoga Festival, the extraordinary energy of football, creativity, storytelling and Liam’s belief that the most powerful films don't simply give us information, they make us feel something.

A warm, moving and ultimately hopeful conversation about grief, addiction, recovery, sobriety, Chelsea FC, filmmaking, mental health, purpose, identity, creativity, spirituality, connection and having the courage to speak.

Because sometimes the conversation we are most afraid to have is the one that changes everything.

Featuring Liam Sullivan and Kelly Saward.

What if you didn’t have to fix what you feel?

In the first letter of The A–Z of Can You Hear You?, we begin with two words that can change the way we meet ourselves: Acceptance and Anxiety.

Acceptance isn’t about giving up, pretending everything is okay or abandoning what you need. It’s about meeting yourself exactly where you are and allowing what is here to be here, just for now.

And anxiety? What if, instead of becoming the anxiety, you could begin to observe it? What if it isn’t something to fight, but something asking you to listen?

In this episode, I explore my own relationship with trying too hard, chasing healing, needing to understand, and eventually discovering the freedom of more being and less doing.

We’ll explore anxiety as a feeling rather than an identity, acceptance as a practice rather than a destination, and the possibility that sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is stop, breathe and listen.

Breathe. Listen. Breathe. Listen.

To you. To your heart. To what you need.

Can You Hear You? | Finding Your Voice & Trusting Yourself

What happens when you know what you feel, say what you mean and still don’t feel heard?

In this first Can You Hear You? reflection, Kelly Saward explores self-trust, finding your voice, emotional awareness and human connection, beginning with those familiar words: Can you hear me?

Drawing from Can You Hear Me? An Emotional Dictionary: Where Feelings Find Their Voice, Kelly reflects on the times we question what we already know, repeat ourselves in the hope of finally being heard, or lose connection with our own words while trying to make somebody else understand them.

What if you said it perfectly the first time?

What if the ears in front of you simply weren’t ready to listen?

And beneath the need to be heard by somebody else, can you hear what you are trying to say?

A short, intimate reflection and invitation to pause, become curious and reconnect with what is present for you.

26 Words. 26 Weeks.

Coming up, Can You Hear You? will explore 26 words through short, reflective episodes moving through feelings, emotions and the experiences behind them. Each episode offers an opportunity to pause, hear what is happening within you and build a deeper connection with yourself.

There are no prescribed answers and no right way to feel. Just a word, a reflection and an invitation to discover what it means for you.

What do you need to say? What is present for you right now? Do you hear you?

I'm always curious about the person behind the public profile. This week, Gareth Gates shared the story behind the music, what it's like living with a stammer, and how finding his voice changed everything. What happens when the thing that makes speaking difficult becomes the very thing that sets you free?

In this episode of the Marlow FM Podcast, I sit down with Gareth Gates for a conversation that goes far beyond his latest theatre tour. We talk about his journey from Pop Idol to becoming a producer, how living with a stammer shaped his life, and why music became the place where he found confidence, expression and freedom.

Gareth also shares the story behind his new touring production, Boy Band in the Buff, celebrating the biggest boy band hits of the '90s and 2000s, alongside the creativity that inspired him to bring the show to life.

This is a conversation about resilience, identity, nostalgia, creativity and the power of finding your voice. Whether you've followed Gareth since Pop Idol or are simply curious about the person behind the performer, I think you'll enjoy this honest and uplifting chat.

Some stories are written. Others feel like they arrive exactly when they're meant to.

In this heartfelt conversation, bestselling author Hattie Williams shares the journey that led her to writing Bittersweet from growing up surrounded by music and creativity, to working in publishing, taking leaps of faith, and discovering that writing wasn't something she simply did... it was who she was.

We explore how teachers can change lives with a few encouraging words, why creativity often feels like magic, the importance of journalling, friendship, motherhood, mental health, and what it means to trust the stories that insist on being told.

Hattie also opens up about her writing process, why she believes books should help us recognise ourselves rather than teach us lessons, and gives a glimpse into her upcoming novel Light Years.

If you've ever wondered where creativity comes from, struggled to trust your own voice, or found comfort inside the pages of a book, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

In this episode we explore:

• The journey behind Bittersweet
• Creativity as a lifelong companion
• The teachers who shape our lives
• Journalling and writing as self-discovery
• The healing power of friendship
• Motherhood and creativity
• Mental health and storytelling
• Publishing and becoming an author
• Why stories help us understand ourselves
• Writing routines and trusting inspiration
• The upcoming novel Light Years

"There is no top of the mountain." Hattie Williams

Kelly Saward in Conversation with ...

In this deeply moving conversation, I sit down with poet, spoken word artist and creative mentor John Bernard to explore how poetry became both a refuge and a purpose after losing his mother at just ten years old.

John shares the profound influence of his mum, the teachers who believed in him when he struggled at school, and how writing became a place where grief, identity and hope could all exist without judgement. Together, we talk about belonging, community, education, faith, creativity and why finding your voice can change the course of a life.

John also reflects on his work with young people, helping them discover confidence through storytelling and spoken word, proving that sometimes one person believing in you is enough to transform a future.

The episode concludes with John performing his deeply moving poem "Tulia" (Swahili for Be Still) a heartfelt tribute to his mother that beautifully captures love, loss and the enduring power of a mother's voice.

If you've ever questioned your place in the world, struggled to express your emotions, or needed reminding that your story matters, this conversation is for you.
