Project Pod

Jeanne shares her experience of moving from a corporate role to creating her own business. Based on her passion for the Kiersey temperament approach - helping people to understand themselves and other people better - Jeanne started working with this on the side of her day job.   She never imagined it would lead to her creating a business from it.  In this episode we talk about the 4 different temperaments and their associated traits and how this knowledge can help us improve our relationships and find work we are better suited to.  I love Jeanne's passion for temperament and hope you enjoy our conversation!

Nicole shared her story of moving from her corporate job in Germany to working remotely as a career coach, most recently in Costa Rica - which had been a dream of hers to make surfing part of her daily life and work. Nicole talks about the process of creating her ideal day which she dreamt up 6 years ago, the steps and experiments she took along the way, deciding not to be a yoga teacher, and eventually creating a surf coaching business for late surf beginners (Nicole herself only started surfing 6 years ago). This surf coaching business, which Nicole named Catch Your Wave, became a career coaching business. Nicole shares her passion for surfing and how it helped her to learn valuable life lessons, by reconnecting to herself and learning to be patient in order to make progress. I hope you enjoy today's episode.

Project Pod is now available on Apple Podcasts and for Android (and iPhone/Apple users) users on: Spotify, Acast and Stitcher.

Helen trained as a Clinical Psychologist and decided to take some time out from a very busy job and career in London to go on an adventure driving from the UK to Portugal to spend time by the sea in Sagres. Helen talks about buying a van and doing it up from scratch with her family and friends and then setting off on her sabbatical. She mentions the initial tension and fear around taking time off from what feels like a secure career, questioning what you're doing and feeling the pressure of other people's expectations. However as time progressed Helen came to see that there were many possible ways of living and back in the UK she is living this- combining psychology with surfing. I hope you enjoy this month's pod.

Selina Barker is one half of the brilliant Project Love with Vicki Pavitt. Project Love developed from a series of podcasts back in 2014 looking at love and relationships (with topics like: how to get out of your head and into your body; creating a space for love; how to love without losing yourself; how your inner shitty committee might be getting in the way of finding love….) as well real love stories with people about their relationships and how they met their partner. Project Love is all about helping women to have the kind of lives and relationships they want, and to develop the courage to follow their own path. We also spoke about the process of developing a business and the importance of experimenting to find out what you really enjoy and what resonates with other people, breaking down a dream into a project in order to explore this and find your thing.

I hope you enjoy this chat with Selina. If you enjoy this podcast please subscribe and leave a review over on itunes. Thanks for listening!

I spoke with Naira about her process of developing her business- a child and young people's psychology service - The Little Therapy Room - alongside working in the NHS as a Clinical Psychologist. We talked about actively creating the life you want and challenging the fear that things will go wrong that we have when developing a business or project.

In today's pod we talk about how Wes has developed his Madrid (and now UK-based) food blog, Much Bites, over the past 4 years. We talk about creating engaging content, listening to your audience (who will be small to start with!) going from working solo to creating a team and why Wes does all of this!

As Wes says, if you have a project you believe in and want to create- don't give up, keep going and look for supportive people to come along with you, as this makes all the difference.

I hope you enjoy the pod and thanks for listening - if you'd like to subscribe on itunes or Spotify and even leave a review that would be lovely!
