Brian has stammered since he was a young child and it greatly affected him as he was growing up in a children's home and didn't have much support around him. He experienced bullying in school and later in life as an adult. Brian suffered with depression which brought with it suicidal thoughts, and on two occasions he attempted to take his own life. Depression can be common with people who stammer and Brian wants to reassure people through his experience that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and there is support out there for anyone who needs it.

Brian went to on to complete a speech therapy course which provided a safe space with people who understood and shared the experiences that he was going through and it gave him the tools and confidence to move forward with his life. He then joined Toastmasters and through his hard work and dedication was awarded as a Distinguished Toastmaster. Brian is now a keynote speaker and mentors and supports people who stammer.

Gilli was attacked in a taxi in her mid-20s and subsequently developed agoraphobia and social phobia. She could no longer work in an office with other people and had to leave the media career she loved. She continued to struggle with agoraphobia for years until she discovered TFT (Thought Field Therapy) a process developed by Psychologist Roger Callaghan in 1985. In just two short sessions she was finally released from the prison of fear. Over the years she has explored many more processes and techniques to help resolve negative mind states and difficult emotions. All this research was very useful for her when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and she recently celebrated 10 years cancer free. 

Gilli uses the knowledge gained from her own experiences in her work as an EFT Practitioner, specialising in anxiety, infertility and sexual issues. These days she is calm and happy most of the time and wants to show that anxiety can be overcome and doesn't have to be a life sentence.

It’s not the quick fixes that lead to success but rather what we put into practice consistently over time. It’s not just about using our goals and desires as our guides but rather it’s about values, principles and that which is life affirming to create meaning and fulfilment.

Our purpose, our values and our lives only become real when we put them into practice.

Life In Practice Podcast aims to share inspiring stories from courageous individuals facing adversity and making a positive impact to find out the key practices that lead to their success and help you create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Join me on the podcast as my guests share their challenges, successes and

what it means to put our purpose, our values and our lives in practice.
