In this episode, I’m joined by Caroline Cary, founder of Eat Nourish Love — a wellness PR platform encompassing events, podcasting and community-building. Caroline is also an extraordinary fundraiser, having helped raise close to £4 million for charities, and has long been known for bringing people together for causes that matter.

This conversation is a heartfelt exploration of community, purpose, courage and the quiet moments that shape the path we eventually walk.

The Heart of Eat Nourish Love

Eat Nourish Love was created from lived experience and deep care. Caroline shares how training in Reiki and reflexology to support her daughter, combined with a sense of being “handed something by the universe,” inspired her to take the leap into business during lockdown.

Community sits at the centre of everything Caroline does — not just in wellness, but in fundraising, events and everyday life.

Key Reflections from the Conversation

1. None of us do anything alone
2. Vision without people goes nowhere
3. Collaboration creates stronger, more sustainable impact
4. Purpose gives direction, even in uncertain times
5. Progress doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful
6. We all struggle — just in different ways
7. Grace matters more than judgement

Quotes from the Episode

Caroline:

“You can have the vision, but without the right people it doesn’t go anywhere.”“If you can bring a little bit of progress into your life, it allows you to take a step forward and keep following your gut.”

Final words from Caroline:

“If you can do something in the morning for yourself and make it a non-negotiable, it makes a huge difference to your mental state.”Connect with Caroline / Eat Nourish Love
