  • EPISODE 5 | David O'Reilly | From breakdown to BREAKTHROUGH

    If someone has ever told you to ‘stay in your own lane’, then today's guest will help you to shatter those limiting beliefs.


    David O’Reilly is a highly talented artist having performed internationally in theatre, television and radio. His theatre performances include Greece, the Book of Mormon, Everyone’s talking about Jamie and most recently he starred in ‘Buff’, receiving outstanding solo performance reviews. He has appeared on TV shows such as Doctors for the BBC, ITV’s show Benidorm and Better Things on Hulu. 


    And for our Irish listeners, David is currently the showbiz correspondent for the Elaine show and a contributor on 2 FM radio.


    Behind the showbiz and stage lights we ask David what it really took to get to where he is now?


    • From being bullied ‘tremendously’ at primary school, he approached secondary school with ‘a coat of armour’ suppressing his big personality to go unnoticed. 


    • From being a ‘good Catholic’ boy, in a heavily religious Ireland, “it took me longer to come out as gay because of Catholic guilt”.


    • From a breakdown in 2016 due to crippling anxiety and undiagnosed clinical OCD, David now looks after his mental health by taking the time out he needs.


    • From taking ‘secret’ community drama classes, he ‘found an outlet’ to be himself and then to shape the rest of his career.


    Listen to this episode if:


          • you have felt the negative effects of growing up with strong religious beliefs. 
          • you identify with or are interested to learn more about the LGBTQIA community.
          • you have ever suppressed your true self to blend in with everyone else.
          • you have been bullied for the hobbies you do.
          • you have experienced OCD or Anxiety.

  • EPISODE 4 | Laura Blair | "How to OVERCOME FAILURE and use heartbreak to change your life"

    Known for her exquisite style, creative content and unique ‘strut’, today’s guest has built an audience of over 1 million followers across Youtube, Instagram and TikTok. Working with top brands such as Marc Jacobs, Karen Millen and Dior, Laura Blair is not only savvy in style but a smart and dedicated entrepreneur, intentionally becoming an ‘influencer' in the luxury fashion and beauty space.


    But what did it take to get to this level of success?


    • From feeling victimised at an all-girl secondary school to building mental resilience against online trolls.


    • From a traumatic breakup, “he just disappeared”, to using the emotional pain as fuel to drive her success, empowering other women with her fierce energy.


    • Despite achieving a 1st Class degree in Fashion and Marketing and working for several brands as an unpaid intern “I still couldn’t get a job”. 


    • From suffering with debilitating symptoms behind the scenes and begging a doctor, “please help me”, to showing up online everyday no matter what, “you would never have known how ill I was”.


    Laura’s story is one of unshakable self-belief, hard work and learning to not let negative comments derail your dreams. Despite being misjudged and feeling victimised she has turned these experiences around not only reclaiming her power but extending it through her work to empower other strong women.

  • EPISODE 2 | Stuart & Francis | Gay Dads | "How to find your true self and set them free"

    Soul mates, business partners, west end stars, Stuart and Francis are perhaps the most famous and loved husbands in the UK after documenting their journey of surrogacy and becoming a family to over a million followers on social media. Taking on the world together in business, travel and family life these best friends are redefining the narrative of a gay couple in 2023.

    But it hasn’t always been this way.

    Stuart and Francis grew up in the 80’s and 90’s with a previous generation fearful of aids, unhealthy relationships and ideas that being gay led to a difficult and lonely existence. (In 1967 same sex relationships were made legal if you were over 21, in 1994 the age was lowered to 18 and only in 2001 was the legal age lowered to 16 to match heterosexual relationships)

    From being chased out of a classroom at school whilst the bullies shout “Gay, gay, gay” to hearing, “That’s disgusting” when ‘coming out’ to your parents. Their childhood evoked feelings of guilt, shame and suppressing their true selves. They never felt fully accepted.

    Then breaking down the boundaries and healing family relationships in the midst of a terminal cancer diagnosis.

    To processing grief in isolation, cut off from all support systems in the the first lockdown, you will hear how Stuart and Francis are now advocates for therapy.

    Stuart and Francis’s story is not a singular journey of overcoming adversity but a story that will go down in British history telling the narrative of the shifting British culture and modern society towards LGBTQIA community.

    We at Inspire the podcast are excited to share this episode with you as its a vision of the modern world we align with. Inclusivity, diversity and love.

    Listen to this episode if:

    • If you are considering therapy but on the fence.
    • If you want relationship ‘goals’.
    • If you are considering surrogacy or alternative methods to having a child.
    • If you have ever felt rejected by just being yourself.
    • If you identify or are interested in LGBTQIA community

  • EPISODE 1 | Nicola Wills: My story | "How I created my dream life"

    We wanted to kick start this Podcast with our very own host Nicola Wills.

    Nicola is not famous or a multi-millionaire instead she has achieved what she defines as true success because she is living the life she always dreamed of in Ibiza, she is happy and is finally comfortable in her own skin.

    But it hasn’t always been this way. It has taken her a long time, thick skin and self belief, perseverance and some heartbreaking moments to get to where she is now.

    ● From a childhood mentor at 12 years old telling her she would never ‘make it’, to people prejudging her ‘glam’ appearance, Nicola has always felt underestimated.

    ● From believing she need a ‘rich man’ to make her dreams a reality to realising she had all the tools she needed within.

    ● And learn how the impact of her brother's death has totally transformed her life

    Although Nicola now has it all, she vulnerably shares the difficult sacrifices that have come with her sucess.

    Nicola’s story is one of true grit, determination and a real “I’ll show you attitude”, overcoming challenges by shifting her perspective and then using them as fuel to ignite her dreams.

    Listen to this episode if:

    ● If you have ever felt underestimated. 

    ● If you are looking for a ‘rich man’ to fulfill your life dreams.

    ● If you are in the grind of working towards your financial goals.

    ● If you have ever questioned your own decisions.

    ● If you have made sacrifices to go after your dreams.

  • WELCOME to INSPIRE

    Welcome to Inspire the podcast with me - Nicola Wills, where I will be speaking to CEO’s, Influencers, Doctors, TV Personalities, Actors and people from all walks of the inspiring side of life.

    They ‘ll be sharing real life stories and the ups and downs of what it took for them to get where they are today.


    But instead of giving you the typical success stories - we strip it back, get raw and go deeper, to learn about “real” life and the personal moments that shaped them.


    Social media gives a false impression of how things really are - so in this podcast we”ll give you a taste of what’s behind that filter to show the real authentic people who you might put on that pedestal believing they ‘have it all and have it all figured out, trust me they don’t.


    No one has it all figured out - but what successful people do is learn and grow though each obstacle one day at a time.


    Join me for a showcase of some of life biggest lessons every Monday to get your week off to an inspiring start.

    If you are ready to take ownership of your life and stop playing small then come and join me... your Queen Era is waiting.
