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.

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'.

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!
