On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, holistic wellness coach Jamie Duggan makes the case for small, sustainable habits over dramatic overhauls — exploring the mindset shifts, self-love practices, and personalised strategies that actually lead to lasting health and wellbeing.

Jamie brings a refreshingly grounded perspective to wellness: there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and real transformation rarely looks like a dramatic before-and-after. She talks honestly about the barriers people face in making healthy choices, why the post-COVID shift in health awareness created both opportunities and pitfalls, and why breaking free from scale obsession is one of the most liberating things you can do for your long-term health. Her vision is clear: helping people embody their healthiest selves — not through punishment, but through self-love.

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, empowerment coach Krys Pappius shares how a disillusioning career in law enforcement, a near-fatal car crash, and the courage to travel the world led her from PTSD to a life of genuine purpose, playfulness, and growth.
