Without having to re-engage with their abuser or put up with the same treatment from others. So that they can live an empowered, inspiring and joyful life. Even if they’ve struggled to find anyone who truly understands.

                Debi has the expertise and experience to help you move from a place of heartbreak, loss, or grief (a conflicting emotion following the end or change of a familiar pattern of behaviour), to one of peaceful calm and joyful acceptance.

                  • 171. Lois Hollis: Shame and Guilt No More

                    In this episode, we're joined by Lois Hollis, RN BSN REV. Lois shifts our opinion on one of the most forbidden subjects, shame and guilt. Depression, anxiety, 30 years of migraine headaches, and pain were Lois’ life until she learned the dangers of shameguilt (not shame and guilt.) She shares her 15 years’ experience as a ShameGuilt Educator, Counselor, Filmmaker to offer health and spiritual maturity.

                    Lois entered the health field as a Nurse's Aide at 12 and continues today at 77. She is a trailblazer. Lois developed one of the first Kidney Hemodialysis centers in the USA. Today, she establishes shameguilt as an independent study.

                    Lois’ film Out of Discord Into Harmony teaches us to communicate with our emotions and inner critic. Her newest film “I’M Good” makes shameguilt visible to illustrate its trickery and how to kick it out to enjoy success.

                    She is the author of three books. Emotional Revolution=Evolution gives a new approach to shame and guilt, Five-Hundred Questions Have One Answer, and “Now is The Time,” a collection of her soul readings that help us stop the negative shameguilt energy.

                    In this episode, we explore:

                    • shame
                    • guilt
                    • letting go of shame and guilt
                    • trauma

                    • 170. The Takeover with Jess Critchlow: On Neurodiversity, Parenting and Boundaries

                      In this episode, we are joined by the amazing Jess Critchlow, founder of Light Up Work, as our first ever guest host! 

                      Jess joined us back in Season 1, Episode 19 to dive into soft skills, confidence and all of that great stuff. Jess is a Business Coach, Leadership Consultant, and TEDx speaker who’s helped hundreds of sweaty-palmed business owners and leaders get out of their own way, practice some radical confidence and build (or double!) their business. Jess launched her side hustle in 2016 while working as a Learning & Development Manager in the tech world… and ooooh boy did she learn the hard way what really works! Her hours DIYing logos, re-writing her website, changing hex codes and blogging to no one were all ways of looking busy without taking the big brave actions. She had to dig in and practice confident action before she felt ready… and it sucked and was amazing all at once! Now Jess takes ALL of what she's learned over the years to help her clients totally revamp and radically grow their confidence at work. 

                      Today Jess is interviewing our host Hannah. Hannah is a Wellbeing Coach, a Youth Coach, a qualified Teacher, Mentor and Speaker. She’s the creator and host of the Psykhe Mental Wellbeing Podcast (this very show), and Founder of Psykhe Coaching. Hannah is a keen Mental Health advocate and holds several voluntary support roles and is a member of the British Psychological Society.

                      In this episode we talk about:

                      • neurodiversity
                      • parenting
