In this episode, we're joined by Emotional Wellbeing Coach Rosie Withey. Rosie has spent her whole life on and around horses: competing, training and simply spending time with them. They have supported her through some of her darkest times and accompanied her on some of her most exhilarating experiences and she has learned (and continue to learn) so much from them. 

Rosie trained as a Riding Coach, qualified as a BHSAI in 1986 and built Hartley Riding Centre from scratch. In 1999 a life-changing opportunity came her way. Rosie was offered the role of Show Jumping coach to the British Pentathlon team and trained the team to Olympic success.

At about the same time Rosie became interested in complementary therapies and trained in Reiki, Radionics, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching. In 2003 she sold the Riding Centre and took some time out to consider how to bring together all her skills. In 2006, having moved to a lovely new home with her partner Andy, Rosie bought a new horse, called Jack and with him came my answer to what next!

Rosie's personal journey with Jack led her to Arizona to train and qualify in Equine Facilitated Learning in 2010. What she learned about the importance of congruence and authenticity now forms the basis of her work. The philosophy that underlies all of Rosie's work, is that your relationship to yourself, and the ability to be who you really are, is the foundation from which all relationship springs – with your loved ones, your professional colleagues, and your wider community.

In 2017 Rosie also began to transfer some of the emotional intelligence and mindful elements of my EFL work into online coaching.

Rosie now has a variety of work which includes online coaching; 121 equine facilitated learning sessions with Jack and Bramble and 3, 4 and 12-day workshops at her venue near Monmouth.

In this episode, we're joined by Sue Thomas. For most of her life, Sue has had a love of food and fitness!

In her 20’s she started to really understand how food helped her to fuel her body and have boundless energy when competing in triathlons and long-distance bike riding.

In her 30’s her food focus was more on having her children and eating well so that she could have the energy to give them the best start in life. By this stage, Sue was running a busy personal training studio and needed the right fuel to give her best to her clients and to her children!

And then in her 40’s, Sue was struck down by an infection that required prolonged doses of antibiotics.  Fast forward 3 years and she was struggling.  She was no longer walking the talk!  Her digestive system was unhappy, her hormones were out of balance and she was having to sleep in the afternoon to have enough energy for her clients and her family!

And that is when Sue knew she had to take back control. But it had to be simple and easy to implement! Her focus was to heal her intestine, rebalance her hormones, improve her sleep and energy levels and rediscover her love for life! Sue devised an easy to follow and easy to prep eating plan for herself that did not include any sugar, added in some targeted supplementation to speed up the process, got her mind in the right place for success and found herself by her late 40s with the energy she had in her 30s.

And now Sue is in her 50s and the programme she devised for herself she has used to help countless women achieve the same thing as her – to take back control!  Her focus is to help you understand how you can sleep better, have more energy, balance your hormones and help you to live a full and vibrant life no matter what age!

In this episode, we explore:

and loads more.
