Today, Donna sits down with Martin Price, a former civil servant who spent 20 years in the Foreign Office, now known as the FCDO. Martin shares his unique journey from a civil engineering apprenticeship to a fulfilling career in public service, where he travelled to 64 countries, installing IT and security systems in embassies worldwide. He reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped his life, including the loss of his mother and the impact of his divorce, which prompted him to transition into entrepreneurship.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The journey from a civil servant in the Foreign Office to becoming an entrepreneur showcases the importance of adaptability and seizing opportunities, even when faced with personal challenges.

Effective communication skills are crucial in both public service and business. The ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures enhances professional relationships and fosters collaboration.

Early experiences in network marketing and mentorship shaped a strong foundation for influencing others. Sharing knowledge and experiences can inspire friends and family to pursue their own entrepreneurial ventures.

Travelling to various countries and experiencing different cultures has provided valuable insights into human behaviour and communication styles, emphasising the need for cultural sensitivity in global interactions.

Despite achieving financial stability, maintaining a balance between work and personal life remains a challenge. The importance of nurturing deeper relationships and connections is recognised, especially after personal losses.

BEST MOMENTS

"I was actually in the Foreign Office, and now it's called FCDO. I did 20 years as a civil servant, man and boy."

"I think sometimes you have to take that risk. You have to understand that it's worth taking."

"The world has never been more connected from a technology perspective, and yet as humans, we're so much more disconnected."

"I always wanted to do something. So for me to then fall into a great grounding is a great foundation for anybody that wants to go into business."

"I think it's got the most legs and I think it all hinges actually on communication skills."

In this episode, Donna speaks with Louise Ramage, a former teacher turned well-being and neurodiversity coach. Louise shares her journey from working in a challenging inner-city school in London for 17 years to transitioning into coaching, driven by her desire to make a meaningful difference in people's lives. They discuss the complexities of teaching in diverse environments, the pressures of balancing work and family life, and the importance of setting boundaries to prevent burnout.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Gaining life experience before entering teaching can provide valuable perspectives and skills that enhance the ability to connect with students and manage classroom dynamics effectively.

A strong motivation for pursuing a career in teaching is the desire to make a positive impact on students' lives, particularly in challenging environments where support is crucial.

It's essential to be aware of the signs of burnout, such as increased stress and emotional fatigue, and to seek help early to prevent reaching a critical point where recovery becomes more difficult.

Establishing clear boundaries between work and personal life is vital for maintaining well-being, especially in demanding roles like teaching or coaching, where the desire to help others can lead to overcommitment.

Transitioning to coaching can provide an opportunity to continue making a difference in people's lives, particularly for those facing challenges like anxiety or neurodiversity, while also allowing for personal growth and fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think my biggest draw was about making a difference. I really felt, for me, I could make a difference."

"29 out of 30 of them at age 11 put their hand up, that was the norm because they thought it was better to do that to protect themselves."

"I think it's essential that you put your boundaries in place from the beginning."

"If we can identify things aren't right early on, we're not gonna get to that complete point of burnout."

In this episode, Donna delves into the critical topic of burnout, sharing her personal experiences and insights on recognising its signs and symptoms. Drawing from her own journey, she discusses the overwhelming exhaustion and emotional fatigue that led her to a breaking point, prompting her to take a much-needed break from work. Donna explores the importance of self-care, including rest, nutrition, and maintaining social connections, while also emphasising the need to realign one's career with personal values.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Burnout is characterised by physical and emotional exhaustion, often resulting from an imbalance in work-life dynamics. Symptoms can include fatigue, forgetfulness, irritability, and a diminished sense of pride in one’s work.

Taking time to rest and prioritise self-care is crucial for recovery from burnout. This can involve sleeping well, engaging in gentle exercise, and maintaining social connections to avoid isolation.

Reflecting on personal values and career goals can help individuals realign their work with what is meaningful to them. This process may reveal misalignments that contribute to feelings of burnout.

Transitioning to new career paths or roles can be a positive step for those feeling burnt out. Engaging with others who have made similar transitions can provide inspiration and insight into potential new directions.

Incorporating mindfulness, nutrition, and hydration into daily routines can support overall well-being and aid in recovery from burnout. This includes establishing healthy boundaries around work and prioritising activities that bring joy and satisfaction.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you feel fed up, tired, burnt out, or stuck in a rut, it's time to take back control."

"I realised now that I'd been working at 120 miles an hour. I was running on empty."

"Burnout is generally an occupational phenomenon rather than an actual diagnosis."

"I was probably heading towards this period of burnout for maybe six months before it actually happened."

"Coaching is still a helping profession. It's just that this time, it's going to be on my terms."

In this episode, Donna interviews her Auntie Debbie Hibberd, who shares her remarkable journey through various careers, including her time as a teacher and headteacher. Debbie reflects on her early aspirations to become an atomic scientist and later a doctor, before ultimately finding her passion in education. She discusses the challenges and rewards of teaching, the importance of adapting to students' needs, and the evolving landscape of education.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Debbie initially aspired to be an atomic scientist and later a doctor, but ultimately found her passion in teaching after working in various roles, including in a virus lab and as a nanny.

A strong family background, particularly a mother who was ahead of her time, instilled values of education, equality, and the importance of giving back to the community.

Emphasised the importance of adaptive teaching methods tailored to students' interests, allowing for innovative approaches to learning rather than strictly adhering to a set curriculum.

Highlighted the increasing constraints faced by teachers today, including rigid curricula and insufficient support for students with special needs, which can hinder effective teaching.

After retiring from teaching, the guest became a supported lodgings host for young people leaving care, demonstrating a lifelong commitment to helping others and addressing inequalities in society.

BEST MOMENTS

"When I was at school, I always wanted to be an atomic scientist... However, I came to realise that actually I'd rather be a doctor."

"I worked in the virus labs. It was a nice, interesting mix. And one of the cells they grew came from a chick and some came from a rabbit's ear."

"I think being a teacher now is much more challenging than it was being a teacher in my day because there's many more constraints."

"It just sounds as though that particular person wasn't getting the support from their line management team."

"For my view, it's the wrong way around really. The only things you need to learn about that I think should be in the fixed curriculum is finance and money."

In this episode, Donna interviews Mel Kingdom Andrews, a former paramedic turned Bowen practitioner based in Plymouth. Mel shares her inspiring journey from a 20-year career in the NHS to establishing her own holistic therapy business, Bowen Body Remedies. She discusses the challenges she faced in the ambulance service, including the emotional toll of witnessing trauma and the constraints of the healthcare system.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The journey from a long career as a paramedic to becoming a Bowen practitioner was inspired by personal experiences with Bowen therapy, which provided relief from chronic pain that conventional treatments could not.

The paramedic role became increasingly constrained by bureaucracy and safeguarding measures, making it difficult to provide optimal patient care. This led to feelings of frustration and a desire for a more fulfilling career.

Bowen therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that focuses on the body's connective tissues and proprioception, making it suitable for a wide range of clients, from newborns to the elderly.

In private practice, clients have more agency over their healthcare decisions, which can lead to better outcomes as they are more invested in their healing process compared to patients in the NHS system.

The transition from a high-stress paramedic role to a calmer therapeutic environment highlighted the importance of mental health support for first responders, as well as the need for society to be more sensitive in their inquiries about traumatic experiences.

BEST MOMENTS

"I thought I had the job of dreams because I loved what I do. I just always thought I'd be a paramedic."

"Bowen was so gentle yet so effective. Within three sessions I could like open my jaw fully."

"You were kind of almost treating the forms rather than treating the patient.

"If you've got a nervous system and muscles and you're in pain, then Bowen therapy is going to help you."

"I think it's a really interesting point. If people can think before they ask that question, then I think that can only be a good thing."

Today, Donna is interviewing Dr. Amrita Sen Mukherjee, a GP and researcher who shares her inspiring journey from medicine to focusing on invisible disabilities and post-traumatic growth in doctors. Dr. Mukherjee discusses how her upbringing, influenced by her parents who were both doctors, shaped her career path, and reflects on the challenges she faced after being diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. She emphasises the importance of compassion within the medical community, the need for workplace adjustments for disabled doctors, and the significance of self-awareness and self-compassion in maintaining a balance between personal and professional life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

A career in medicine was heavily influenced by a family background in healthcare, with both parents being doctors. This environment fostered a natural inclination towards the medical profession, despite initial pursuits in a different field.

The experience of living with an invisible illness, such as temporal lobe epilepsy, highlighted the challenges faced by medical professionals who are unwell. There is often a lack of understanding and support from colleagues, which can lead to feelings of isolation and self-doubt.

Adversity can lead to personal growth, and it is possible to experience joy and fulfilment alongside feelings of sadness and distress. Recognising that these emotions can coexist is crucial for mental well-being.

Building a supportive network is essential for those advocating for equality and well-being in the medical field. Having trusted individuals to lean on can provide strength during challenging times.

BEST MOMENTS

"I recognised that there was an important part that I played in life. If I can be that person that is saying, hey, I've gone through a difficulty and I've come through the other side, I want to be that person."

"Just because somebody experiences post-traumatic growth, it’s really important to recognise that those emotions are normal to feel at the same time."

"I think we spend so much of our time doing that, that our reserves deplete the person who goes to the bottom of the list is yourself."

"I have taken a lot of time to relearn who I am. My aspirations have had to change. My goals in life have had to change."

In today's episode, Donna interviews Jeff Hill, a former police officer turned CEO of Harrier Global Limited. Jeff shares his journey from a fulfilling 30-year career in the police force to establishing a business that provides strategic security advice to high-net-worth individuals and corporations. He discusses the motivations that led him to join the police, the importance of maintaining a work-life balance, and the challenges of transitioning into the business world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

"I was always of the view that you made your own luck. You have to actually go out and be very proactive, sometimes very bold, very innovative and creative to generate the opportunity to gather evidence against people."

"We never sell fear. We're not the kind of company that will go to speak to a client and say, oh God, you need to be doing this. It's not what we do. We're actually quite the opposite. We sell reassurance."

"The better we understand an individual, the better our relationship with them. If you're not prepared to share it with us, we're not necessarily going to know about it, we can't counter the threat that's there."

In this episode, Gemma Holden, also known as Mrs. Mindset, shares her inspiring journey from public service to entrepreneurship. Gemma reflects on her challenging school days, her transition from hairdressing to working with children, and the eventual establishment of her childminding business, Little Gems. After experiencing burnout, she took a step back to focus on personal growth and self-discovery, which led her to become a coach and mentor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

BEST MOMENTS

"I left school with no GCSEs at all. I was masking. I was pretending to be this child who was strong and didn't care about anything when actually inside I was a very emotional child."

"I had to make the decision and say, right, OK, so I'm going to lose out on a lot of money here. I believe that when you're working in a care sector, you have to have that passion."

"I decided that my business was doing really well. I had to tell them that, and then I got made redundant. And it was probably the best thing that happened to me."

"It's about building relationships. It's about that communication and building relationships."

"Having that clarity on that and understanding, do you know what? It is gonna be tough, but so are you."

In this episode, Donna interviews Helen Valentino, a former military nurse and NHS professional who has transitioned into the world of business and podcasting with her show, "Thriving Not Surviving." Helen shares her inspiring journey, detailing her early life challenges, including personal trauma and health issues, which ultimately led her to a spiritual awakening. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There is a strong interconnection between physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being. Issues in one area can manifest in another, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach to health.

Thriving does not mean a lack of challenges or difficulties. It involves maintaining hope and joy despite adversity, recognizing that life is imperfect but can still be fulfilling and meaningful.

Forgiveness is portrayed as a selfish act that benefits the individual who forgives, rather than the one who caused the hurt. Letting go of anger and resentment is crucial for personal health and well-being.

Working in community nursing provides unique insights into people's lives, challenging stereotypes and revealing the importance of understanding individuals beyond their circumstances.

Experiences of hardship can lead to personal growth and empathy. Overcoming challenges can empower individuals to help others and find purpose in their struggles.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think the whole point is we're supposed to be in balance, aren't we? And for me personally, and this is just my own philosophy, is that we have a physical, spiritual and emotional body."

"When things don't seem to be going my way, I trust the universe has better plans for me."

"I think people see success as money and fame. And I think for me, thriving has got nothing to do with how much money you've got."

In this episode, Donna interviews Claire Jones, who has held various roles in public service, including as a prison officer, arrest referral worker, and part-time firefighter, as well as 20 years as a senior manager in the NHS, showcasing her commitment to helping others in different capacities. Claire shares her unique journey into public service, driven by a desire to help others, and discusses the challenges she faced as a single parent while navigating demanding work environments.

KEY MOMENTS

"I think the only public sector role I think I haven't really kind of got very involved in would be either probation or ambulance service. But other than that, I think I've done it all."

"When we recognise that we do [have control], and we can actually do things differently in a way that helps us to build a healthy relationship with food and with ourselves, we can make choices that are more in alignment with our long-term goals."

"It's all about health. Like you say, it's not about how much you weigh, what you look like. It's about being healthy, looking after your long-term health."

"I realised that I'd been able to overcome something that I'd battled with for 25 years. And I see other people battling with it every day."

"If you worried all the time about the risks, then you wouldn't do anything. And that's where the training comes in."
