In this high-energy episode of the PRsonal Podcast, Charlotte sits down with Adam Foster — marketing agency director, university lecturer, bodybuilder, and professional wrestler, better known to fans as Shreddy.

Behind the muscles and the bravado is a story of grit, charisma, and the pursuit of a childhood dream. Adam shares how a YouTube channel born from porridge oats and persistence became the launchpad for a wrestling persona, and how years later, “Shreddy” is inseparable from Adam himself.

But this isn’t just about wrestling moves or marketing wins. Adam opens up about what it takes to tell a story in the ring, why charisma outweighs technical perfection, and how the discipline of bodybuilding shapes every part of his life. From standing ringside at WWE Smackdown to competing on the bodybuilding stage in Australia, his journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless ambition.

We explore:

• The origins of Shreddy and why persona matters as much as performance
• Wrestling as storytelling — good guys, villains, and the emotion between the moves
• Building a business that fits life, not the other way around
• The discipline of bodybuilding, and why diet trumps everything
• Wrestling for WWE (almost) and what it means to keep chasing the dream
• How identity, ambition, and authenticity collide inside and outside the ring

Adam’s story is proof that you don’t need to choose one path when you can build your own. Whether he’s lecturing, lifting, or lacing up his boots, he’s living the lesson that success isn’t about being one thing — it’s about showing up fully in all the things you love.

This is an episode for anyone who’s ever juggled different passions, fought against stereotypes, or wondered if they could really turn childhood dreams into adult realities. With honesty, humour, and a spark of showmanship, Adam reminds us that the best stories — in wrestling and in life — are the ones that connect.

In this powerful episode of The PRsonal Podcast, we meet Sean Brown, ex-professional rugby player, founder of the Petsercise Group, and now the straight-talking TV dog trainer featured on Channel 4’s Bad Dog Academy.
But behind the spotlight and social media highlights lies a story of grit, identity loss, emotional burnout, and the unglamorous truth of starting again from scratch.
 
Sean opens up with rare honesty about what it’s really like to fall from a childhood dream - after devastating injuries shattered his career in elite sport - and how he channelled that same relentless discipline into building one of the UK’s most innovative and emotionally-driven dog training and therapy businesses.
 
This episode is a deeply human reminder that success often comes after the fall, and that resilience isn’t always loud, sometimes it’s just showing up, again and again, when no one’s watching.
 
If you’ve ever felt lost, burnt out, or like you had to prove yourself all over again, this conversation will stay with you long after it ends.

In this emotionally charged episode of the PRsonal Podcast, we sit down with Katelyn Young, founder of Juin, to uncover the real story behind the woman, the mother, and the mission. At just 17, Katelyn’s world changed with two pink lines and a heartbeat. What followed was a journey that defied every stereotype, battled every expectation, and reshaped her understanding of family, identity, and resilience.

Raised by her beloved nana June in the wake of her mother’s mental health and addiction struggles, Katelyn opens up about what it truly meant to break the cycle and become a parent before even finishing her A-levels. With raw honesty, she shares her early experiences of raising her daughter Ivy while juggling education, work, and a determination to build something greater, something rooted in purpose, not pity.

We explore:

• The emotional realities of becoming a teen mum
• Breaking free from societal stigma and rewriting your own story
• Coping with postnatal depression and learning to prioritise mental health
• The influence of generational trauma, and how to stop it in its tracks
• Why grit, not age, defines your ability to raise a child or run a business
• Navigating life with ADHD and channelling it into entrepreneurial drive

Katelyn’s story isn’t one of perfection. It’s one of presence, perseverance, and profound emotional growth. From hospital scares and childhood wounds to unshakable love and self-awareness, Katelyn reveals how her daughter became her ‘why’, and how her nana, even in death, remains her guiding light.

This is an episode for mothers, daughters, business owners, and anyone who’s ever felt the weight of expectation. It’s for those navigating difficult family relationships, healing from the past, or learning to forgive without forgetting. And it’s for the dreamers - especially the young ones - who’ve been told they can’t, when all they needed was someone to believe they could.

Katelyn’s voice is vulnerable and strong, her wisdom shaped by lived experience and a heart determined to do better. She doesn’t just talk about resilience, she lives it.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your path, or your potential, this episode will meet you there.

In this episode of the PRsonal Podcast, host Charlotte Nichols sits down with Kelly Smith, designer and founder of Spelk Studio, for a conversation that peels back the layers on living with invisible illness and late-diagnosed neurodiversity.

Kelly recounts a shocking turning point in her health journey - the moment she was accidentally served the wrong cake. It seemed harmless, but that single slice containing gluten triggered a severe autoimmune reaction. Within weeks, her muscles began to seize, and soon, she was unable to walk. What followed were endless neurological tests, including investigations for MS and motor neurone disease, but no definitive answers. The cause? A serious reaction from undiagnosed coeliac disease.

But that’s only part of Kelly’s story.

As a mother navigating her son’s early development, Kelly began to notice signs that he might be autistic. In researching and advocating for him, she came to a powerful and life-changing realisation: she, too, was likely autistic. Her later-in-life autism diagnosis brought understanding to decades of social struggles, miscommunications, and professional barriers.

She opens up about how gluten left her unable to walk and why coeliac disease is far more serious than a food fad; the emotional toll of living with an invisible illness; her journey of self-discovery through parenting; the impact of undiagnosed autism on her school years, friendships, and career; the lasting trauma caused by childhood bullying; and her decision to start a business that supports both her neurodiverse son and ageing parents.

Kelly’s honesty is refreshing and eye-opening. This episode is essential listening for anyone affected by gluten intolerance, autoimmune conditions, neurodiversity, or mental health challenges and for anyone who wants to better support those around them.

Through tears, humour, and hard-earned wisdom, Kelly reminds us that every story is worth hearing , and that understanding what’s beneath the surface can make all the difference.

In one of our most spiritually expansive episodes to date, The PRsonal Podcast welcomes conservation biologist, canine wellness intuitive, and shamanic practitioner, Dr. Isla Fishburn. This soul-stirring conversation is a raw, courageous, and deeply healing exploration of mental health, trauma, spirituality, and the sacred relationship between humans, animals, and the natural world.

Dr. Isla Fishburn opens up about a pivotal and devastating chapter in her life when she contemplated suicide. Speaking from a place of vulnerability and strength, she recounts the life-changing moment she was stopped by a whisper from the Earth itself. Sitting distraught beneath a tree in a North Devon woodland, she heard the words “You are enough” a message she believes came directly from the spirit of the tree. This moment of connection would become the anchor that kept her alive, reminding her of her worth when everything else in her life felt broken.

This episode explores the power of nature as healer a concept central to Isla’s work with dogs and wildlife. She discusses how her wolf-dog, Tonila, also saved her life during this dark period, offering unconditional love and a reason to stay. Her journey from suicidal despair to spiritual awakening is not just an emotional story of survival, but a testament to the healing intelligence that exists within all life forms, including our animal companions.

As a channeler of animal consciousness, Isla introduces us to a world where science and spirituality not only coexist, but collaborate. Drawing on her PhD in conservation biology and her spiritual practice, she invites us to consider dogs and other animals not as pets, but as sentient souls, here with us for spiritual purpose, partnership, and teaching. She shares how wolves, in particular, model embodiment, presence, and community offering lessons about unconditional love, sacred boundaries, and the healing power of non-verbal communication.

Listeners will come away from this episode with a new perspective on intuitive living, the significance of emotional healing, and the soul medicine animals can offer. Dr. Fishburn explains how our fur companions often reflect our internal emotional landscape, holding up a mirror for personal growth and deeper connection. Her powerful insights into interspecies communication, energetic trauma, and ancestral healing resonate not only with spiritual seekers, but with anyone navigating life’s emotional depths.

This episode also confronts societal taboos around mental health and suicide. Isla’s story shines a light on the often silent suffering many endure, while offering hope through self-trust, spiritual practice, and the courage to feel deeply. Her voice reminds us that healing is not a destination, but a lifelong dance with discomfort, trust, and love.

Whether you’re curious about animal communication, navigating your own healing journey, or seeking a reminder that you are enough, this conversation with Dr. Isla Fishburn is not to be missed.

What happens when your entire identity shatters in a single moment? In this raw and deeply moving episode of The PRsonal Podcast, host Charlotte Nichols sits down with Kayleigh Laverick – founder of Mama Social Co – to share a conversation that is not just about motherhood, but about survival, silence, identity, and the transformative power of connection.

After a traumatic emergency C-section with her second child, followed by a near-death experience, Kayleigh found herself spiralling into undiagnosed PTSD and postnatal mental health crisis. What followed was a terrifying period of night terrors, overwhelming loneliness, emotional numbness, and a moment of suicidal ideation that changed everything. In that dark forest, with her baby strapped to her chest and an unimaginable decision playing out in her mind, Kayleigh reached a turning point.

From that moment came something remarkable.

Mama Social Co was born not as a business, but as a lifeline. What began as a single Facebook post inviting other struggling parents for a walk turned into a national movement of more than 60,000 mothers, fathers, and caregivers supporting each other daily through real, offline connection.

In this episode, Kayleigh opens up about:

• The silence that often surrounds postnatal mental health and why many mothers suffer behind smiles
• How she and her husband navigated trauma, therapy, and detachment to rebuild their relationship
• The emotional and physical aftermath of a traumatic birth – and why we need to talk about sex, healing, and identity as part of the maternal journey
• The power of real-world community in an increasingly digital and disconnected world
• Why she refuses to charge parents for connection – and how Mama Social Co partners with brands to keep access free for all

This episode isn’t filtered or sugar-coated. It’s a conversation that peels back the layers of curated motherhood and speaks to the heart of what it means to be human, to hurt, to heal, and to help others rise alongside you.

Whether you’re a new parent, a birth partner, or someone who’s ever felt lost in the noise of perfection, Kayleigh honesty and strength will move you. Her story is proof that even from the deepest pain, something beautiful can grow – and that no one should ever have to do it alone.

Warning: This episode contains discussions of traumatic birth, PTSD, and suicide ideation.

In this episode of the PRsonal Podcast, we sit down with the incredible Cat Neil, a mortgage advisor whose life was turned upside down in February 2024 — and who has since emerged as a powerful voice for resilience, vulnerability, and healing.

Cat was nearing the end of a 5K training run when she was suddenly hit by a car while on the pavement — an incident so severe it left her with an open fracture to her leg, sparking a medical journey that would involve nine operations, including two 11-hour limb-saving surgeries, skin grafts, leech therapy, and blood transfusions. But as harrowing as her physical injuries were, it’s Cat’s mental and emotional resilience that shines brightest in this deeply moving conversation.

She shares, with raw honesty, the silent battles she fought behind closed doors: learning to depend on others for basic needs, grieving the loss of her old body and identity, and the exhausting mental energy of navigating a world that expects visible healing. Her story exposes the often unseen reality of life after trauma — where the hardest work is done quietly, long after the headlines fade.

Despite it all, Cat’s mindset is nothing short of extraordinary. A lifelong journaler, she turned to writing, mantras like “safe, happy, healthy, loved”, and the grounding belief that “your mind is limitless” to carry herself through. With emotional intelligence, she speaks candidly about the importance of therapy, support systems, self-compassion, and the power of showing up — even imperfectly.

But this is not just a story about survival – it's a raw and unfiltered exploration of resilience, mindset, and healing. Cat speaks with remarkable vulnerability about:

• Facing trauma and physical recovery head-on
• The quiet power of journaling and mindset work
• Grieving her former self and rediscovering confidence
• How trauma impacts relationships and intimacy
• The emotional weight of relying on others and regaining autonomy
• Her evolving relationship with her body, and the strength it still carries

Cat’s message is clear: You are stronger than you think. And even in your darkest moments, you can choose to keep going — hour by hour, day by day.
Whether you're navigating your own healing journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t linear, and that resilience is a daily decision.
