Meet Samantha Goddard.

In our 10th episode we talk to Therapist Samantha Goddard. Samantha started her career as a dancer after training at the Goodman Training Academy.

During her career as a dancer Samantha spent years being very critical of herself and her body. After teaching dance and fitness Samantha studied nutrition and weight management.

Whilst working with various clients, she discovered the importance of emotional and psychological issues and their impact on losing weight, and that is where Rapid Transformational Therapy came in to play for Samanatha. 

We talk to Samantha about Rapid Transformational Therapy, what it is and how it can help everyone. We touch on issues of self-esteem, the menopause, parenting and how mental health issues can affect children and the importance of self-compassion.

We hope you enjoy this episode.

On Thursday 8th December 2022, a few days after recording this episode, John Port a World War 2 Soldier, D-Day survivor, and resident at one of our Oakland Care Homes sadly passed away aged 102. 

In a tribute to his extraordinary life, this is a conversation about risk, fear, resilience, building relationships, and gratitude.

As John talks about his time in the war as a teenager, living without electricity, starting a new career after retirement, and living through Covid, John really puts things in perspective for us, the younger generation. 

It was an honour to spend time with John and it is a privilege to share this experience with you.

Rest in peace John Port. 

*Please be patient with this recording. John had an exceptional memory of his life, although his recollections were (understandably), not always linear, so some editing has had to take place. Please persevere with the podcast as there are some truly inspiring messages throughout.
