KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had the most success on my weight loss journey when I started to blog because it gave me the ultimate accountability, so I couldn’t just hot the fridge in those dark moments and stuff my face. But my Instagram tells a slightly different story these days after my diagnosis.
- I had been going to the doctors for a while with different things going on in my body and, because you couldn’t see a doctor during Covid, I was put on a lot of video consultations and was given physio to do at home. Then I went into hospital with a really crackly voice which they said was down to wearing my PPE. Then I noticed a pea-sized lump at the base of my neck, so I asked specifically for a face-to-face appointment which ended up being stage 4 double lung cancer with a rare form of mutation and it had spread to my spine and pelvis. In a matter of seconds my life just changed.
- You have to accept that you have to ride those emotions out. There are days that I’m frustrated, angry, trying to lay blame: “It must be someone’s fault”, it’s a natural human instinct to have. You’ll never know the answer to your questions about it, so you just have to ride it out.
- People shouldn’t be scared of their voices. It’s really important to really in tune and listen to your body. For some people it’s a hard habit to get into, you see the shower or the bath as something functional, you have to do it before you get to where you need to be. You need to be in tune and know what’s normal in your body. I didn’t know the shoulder was linked to the lung! If I can share this information with other people and give them the confidence to go and get check, that keeps me going.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Having the diagnosis I got was shit, but I’ve made peace with it now and I think that’s the first thing you should do. I could cry all day long and crawl under a rock but what will I achieve? I can’t change it.’
‘I’ve got a job to do now being an advocate and an inspiration for my son who’s just about to turn 13.’
‘It was explained to me basically that two cells met on the wrong pathway, they collided and sparked a firework. I did nothing wrong, it was all out of my control.’
‘I want to see parts of the world or even the country I’ve never been to, and I’d love to meet a member of the Royal Family, specifically William and Kate!’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jules, was misdiagnosed by GPs on various occasions and has sadly been diagnosed with Stage 4 incurable lung cancer adenocarcinoma EGFR mutation spread to the spine and pelvis at the age of 37.
Jules is an amazing lady who, even though she is going through the toughest of times, remains positive and determined to help others and raise awareness of lung cancer. She remains positive and up-beat and being able to raise money for this one of a kind charity will bring the biggest smile to her face.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
