What does it take to walk away from a life that looks good on paper... but feels empty inside?

After heartbreak and burnout from a corporate sales job and party culture in London, Josh Porter left it all behind to travel the world full-time🌎

From near-death experiences in Asia, to tuk-tuk journeys through Africa and now new horizons in South America, Josh has turned adventure into a lifestyle- raising money for wildlife conservation and building a global online audience of over 200,000 people.

But this conversation goes far beyond travel. We talk about the deep transformation that happens when you finally start living in alignment, emotional intelligence, the power of storytelling, healing family dynamics, and what it really means to live fully.

This is a soulful, energising reminder that you can choose a different life- and build it on your own terms.

If you're craving freedom, authenticity and the courage to live life wide open… this one is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with Zoe Marcar- founder of ZJM Marketing and Muse Content Studio- for a raw, honest conversation about entrepreneurship, identity and the mindset shifts that make all the difference.

What if freedom wasn’t about changing your life, but reframing how we make sense of this all? What if it's all actually about accessing the present moment in a deeper, richer way?

In this very first episode of Space to Feel, I’m delighted to be joined by Simon Brown - an advanced spiritual practitioner - for a deep, spacious conversation about awakening, grief, love in its healthiest forms and so much more!

Together, we explore the role of the mind in shaping our reality, and how learning not to resist life’s ups and downs can lead to profound inner freedom.

We also touch on:

• The paradox of awakening and everyday life

• How to love (yourself and others) in a healthy, grounded way

• Navigating grief and the death of a loved one
