Catherine Molloy appears to have a glamorous jet-setter lifestyle, as she travels the world as a Keynote Speaker & Communication Expert. From the outside people may assume Catherine has a perfect life. Yet as we know, no one has a perfect life and everyone has a story!!

Twelve years ago after Catherine's husband had a breakdown; with 3 small children, a business and a mortgage, Catherine found herself having to dig deep, find strength and to be the glue her family needed. 

On this episode Catherine tells us her story of grit, determination all with a bit of girl power and a lot of courage, self belief and kindness.

When we don't know who we are, what we like, what we're good at, what lights us up, we are unsure of our Identity.

When we struggle to find our purpose, when we're unsure of our values - how can we know our identity??

When we discover our Identity we can thrive at life.

Tune in to Sue & Jo's take on Identity.

Join us on this episode to listen to a story of grit and growth.

Otto Heutling author and CEO of FemPowerment - The future of women's self-defence and empowerment, believes that learning ninja moves is unrealistic and it's now time for a new paradigm.  

Otto has an extensive background in martial arts, with more than 35 years training in various styles and 20 years of teaching physical self-defence, his philosophy to self-defence is very different.

Otto has designed a program to not only help women feel safe but to empower them, for them to trust themselves and to use their intuition. It is more about changing mindsets rather than learning unrealistic fighting moves.  He stresses the importance of using the underlying principles, not only in potentially dangerous situations but more importantly on a daily basis in all of life.  This knowledge empowers women not only to be safer but to live life more fully, happy and on their terms.

As another year comes to an end, hosts Sue & Jo (aka Posh & Pool) reflect on 2019, the lessons they learnt, the blessings that came their way and everything they have to be grateful for. 

None of us know what the new year will bring - although what we can be sure of, there will be twists and there will be turns on this great adventure we call life!!  Wishing you all hope, dreams and goals for the new year and a new decade.

If we all commit to work on ourself to raise our own vibration then we will undoubtably raise the vibration of the universe!!!

Love, light & peace xxxxx

Years that were full of angst, self loathing, boys and sex!!! Lucky for us, she kept a diary of her experiences and feelings. These diaries are the inspiration behind her published book 'Diary of a Teenage Girl' - a book that presents a complex look into the inner feelings and emotions of an adolescent girl - An autobiography? maybe - A semi-autobiography? most definitely!!!

'The Diary of a Teenage Girl' was made into a film and released in 2015 at the Sundance Film Festival - Amazon describe the film as - A sharp and provocative account of one girls sexual and artistic awakening, without judgement.
