March 07, 2023 Tom Roberts AKA Tom Foolery. Author of the phenomenally successful The Great Realisation poem and film.
For this episode I got brave and reached out to someone who had inspired me during lockdown. Tom's a poet, an author of two books and a filmmaker who has worked with Colin Farrell and Tim Roth. I'm so grateful he accepted my request to be interviewed. Lockdown provided him with an opportunity to make a name for himself but I have no doubt that he has all the hallmarks to be successful; positive attitude and determination and above all he's mastered the art of articulation.

January 10, 2023 Professor Claire Thompson, CEO Agility Life Sciences, entrepreneur and philanthropist on not letting a crisis like Covid go to waste
In this episode we have a light-hearted chat about Claire's strategies, how she boosts her height by wearing eye-catching heels, and her childhood career ambition to be a stand up comedian. On a firmer footing she shares how she gives 'purpose time' to her team so they can develop themselves and others, plus we discuss the importance of values and behaviours beyond the paper they're written on. This interview is vibrant, rich and inspiring and Claire was interviewed in her 'shoedio'.

September 13, 2022 Transformation from the depths of trauma
I talk to Hayley Tutte, a former social care worker now a qualified equine and human sports therapist who describes perfectionism as a form of self-harm.

Hayley had ignored the emotional and physical signs of burnout until lockdown forced her to be, what she feared the most, still. From the depths of trauma she has completely transformed her life. She dares to take the credit for my rowing accomplishments too!

July 12, 2022 Steve Williams, Former Consultant Pharmacist, podcast co-host and businessman on how he self-prescribed a life that's more life than work and how lockdown helped him to understand himself better
There's so much in this episode from the importance of not saying 'yes' to everything to recognising that being under-stimulated in life can lead to anxiety as much as a life too full and how perfectionism is not helpful for the mind. Steve tells us how a pivotal curve ball in his career changed everything and we end with a discussion on how those with mental health issues don't always present themselves in the way we think.

His greatest fear post lockdown and recommended reads (and an allowed soundtrack because he's a real music buff) are at the end of the interview.
