S6 E5 - Choosing Hope, Breaking Through Fear & Silencing the Inner Critic | Mark Fennell - Life & Business Coach, Bestselling Author & Motivational Speaker

48 minutes

This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, lost, or afraid to begin again.

I sat down with the brilliant Mark Fennell, high‑performance life and business coach, bestselling author, motivational speaker and one of the most grounded voices on confidence and mindset, and we had such an honest, moving chat about fear, hope and that inner critic we all have.

Mark opened up about being bullied as a kid, struggling with anxiety and burnout, and how choosing hope, even when you don’t feel ready, can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed or like your own thoughts are the thing holding you back… this one’s for you.

✨ In this episode:

Growing up with low self-worth and finding his voice
What anxiety really feels like (and how to move through it)
The moment everything changed and he chose hope
Coaching from lived experience, not just theory
How to stop letting your inner critic run the show
