Hello gang, great to catch up with you - Happy Friday!

OK, so we've all heard it a million times...

"You can do it", "Just put your mind to it" , "The only thing stopping you, is you..."

Well this week we explore the mindset and how it can really make the difference in your life. I have started a new morning ritual where I choose a specific positive mindset for the day. By embodying this I actually feel like I have started to approach situations in a new way; a more positive manner. 

So listen in for your weekly dose of inspiration and let me know how you too are getting along.

Gang, I have also started a monthly blog; go check it out!

Don't forget if you know a friend that you think would enjoy this podcast, tag them in my posts and I'll get back to each one. And if you have time, please write a quick review; it's the best way for people to find us!

WOW... That's a bomb shell to drop on us this Friday. It's not all doom and gloom, in fact this episode is here to help us all learn how to deal with death and celebrate the living. Simona is our special guest today, and having been through it all, she inspires us to be more loving whilst living. 

Let's not avoid the inevitable, but come to terms with it. We are never alone and we can empower each other to become stronger, better people.

An inspiring and encouraging episode I recommend for everyone.

Hello again squad, are you ready for one of the most enlightening conversations yet? Well, I sure am. This week we are chatting to Chris Bax, founder and creator of Taste the Wild and Bax Botanics.

We find out why foraging is actually so much easier done than we think; how we can be more sustainable in our food and drink choices; and why food is LIFE! Honestly, this is one of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE catch ups, and I am very excited to share this with you.

Ehy? What do I mean by this; I mean sometimes we find ourselves in a position where we are outside our comfort zone. We have entered a place that is unfamiliar, or we end up in a circumstance that we find uncomfortable. 

But this episode isn't all doom and gloom, fear not my friends, today I'm being totally honest and open with you about my food, drink and diet journey. This month we are going on a culinary adventure, but first I wanted to take you back about 16 years to where it all started for me.

Enjoy this eye opening episode; I hope you find some words of wisdom, comfort and, of course some good laughs along the way. 

Keep a ear out for all the exciting episodes to come this month - I can't wait to share them with you.

BAFTA award winner Martin Gooch is with us!

I think it's safe to say, most of us have 'found' ourselves, until just recently in a world wide collective pause. But amongst the madness some of us have been keeping busy and challenging ourselves to adapt in new ways.

This week in our conversation, director Martin Gooch spills the beans on how to get started in the film industry; we explore his work; and he reveals some big news on his latest project... Watch this space.

So raise a glass, and listen in!
