I’m so grateful to have received such support for this, my podcast, my book and the enrichment program that I launched to better the lives of disadvantaged children.

I’ve been reflecting on the past year, the things I’ve achieved and some of the things I’ve learned; the most obvious to me is the LEARN model. Love, Enrich, Appreciate, Relationships and Network. In this episode, I explain how you can look at your own life and goals through the lens of this model; and how I’m applying it to what I’ll be striving to achieve next.

Needless to say, our Vision Board Workshop in January feels like it was just yesterday and a lifetime ago at the same time. As we approach the end of 2021 My Vision board is still hanging on my bedroom wall as a reminder of what I set out to achieve at the start of this year. As we approach January again, I’m really looking forward to revisiting the workshop once more and setting my 2022 vision for myself.

I hope you can join me on the journey also!

A life without purpose is like a ship without a rudder, so living a life filled with purpose means you will always sail in the right direction. In this terrific episode, Dr Kamel Hothi (Speaker, Coach and Advisor to Charities) expands upon the ways in which we can strive to find our purpose.

This can come through a variety of methods, and we explore some of them with her here. She has a particular model called "S.P.A.C.E" and walks us through how it works. We also discuss some of her incredible charitable ventures.

What does a Doctor do when faced with a global pandemic, under-representation in the NHS, social and economical issues due to inequality?

In this enlightening conversation with Dr Devina Maru, National Medical Director's Clinical Fellow, I find out all about the challenges that are faced by the NHS. But this is far from where Dr Maru’s reach ends; founder of Health Pioneers Charity, Dr Maru seeks to help a cause close to my own heart - the significant health & education inequalities that exist in communities through empowering young people; her philanthropic mission to change the lives of children.

We explore the whys and how’s behind Devina’s solutions at the highest levels of policy-making and at a personal level, where she’s helped change the lives of hundreds of children.

I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, I am delighted to be joined by Business Coach, Dr Morgana McCabe Allan. Previously an academic, researching Contemporary Archaeology she takes a deep interest in who are now and how we came to be in the culture that we’re in.

We’re told that we’re only as good as our last achievement, that pushing forward is the only way to be more but is to do with our construct of time. In this episode we explore the importance of ‘being in the world’, looking at how our perception is everything; however, we see the world through our own lens and nothing is real in the way that we perceive it.

An off the wall concept on the first time you hear it but the importance that Dr McCabe puts on designing a career and world around yourself and not what culture dictates to you is a refreshing perspective on modern business.
