In this episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m joined by entrepreneur, founder and author Kelly Ehlers for a conversation about success, kindness, ambition, self-worth and giving ourselves permission to choose again.

So many women have consciously created the life they thought they wanted — the career, the relationship, the family, the home, the success — and are incredibly grateful for it. But what happens when, underneath all of that, there’s a quiet feeling of “Is this it?”

And perhaps an even bigger question: Can we want more without being ungrateful for everything we already have?

Kelly believes we absolutely can.

Kelly is an award-winning entrepreneur who has spent more than 16 years building businesses and brands. She scaled The Evoke Agency into an agency working with major global brands, with the company earning a place on the Inc. 500/5000 five times. She is also the founder of The Tease Media and author of the forthcoming book Nice Girls Win. 

What I particularly love about Kelly’s message is her belief that we don’t need to become harder, colder or less ourselves in order to succeed. In fact, kindness, generosity, empathy and integrity can be some of our greatest strengths in both business and life.

In this conversation, we talk about the invisible contracts so many women unknowingly live by — the idea that our needs should come last, that wanting something different makes us ungrateful, or that once we’ve chosen a particular life or season, we have to stay there.

We explore what it means to choose again without burning everything down. Choosing again doesn’t have to mean quitting your job, ending your relationship or completely changing your life. Sometimes it simply means recognising that you’re allowed to evolve and enter a new season.

We also talk about the fascinating difference between wanting, needing and deserving. What happens when instead of saying, “I want this,” we begin to believe, “I deserve this”?

Kelly and I delve into manifestation too, not simply vision boards or wishful thinking, but what happens when we genuinely embody the belief that the things we’re calling into our lives are possible for us.

We also discuss Kelly’s own extraordinary business journey, the challenges she faced along the way, boundaries, people-pleasing, self-worth and why being a “nice girl” doesn’t mean playing small.

Kelly’s work challenges the traditional idea that success requires women to become tougher or less caring. Her message is about winning without losing yourself in the process. 

This is such an inspiring conversation for anyone who is ambitious but wants success to feel good too and particularly for women who are beginning to wonder whether they’re ready for their next chapter.

And before we get into today’s conversation, I also share a little about my Accredited Face Yoga Teacher Training Course.

If you love Face Yoga and would like to take your knowledge to the next level, whether that’s to teach professionally, incorporate Face Yoga into an existing wellness business or create a completely new career for yourself, my training gives you the techniques, knowledge and confidence to get started.

It feels particularly fitting alongside today’s conversation because sometimes choosing again doesn’t require changing your whole life. It can simply begin by taking one step towards something that excites you.

I hope you enjoy this conversation with Kelly and that it reminds you that you can be kind and ambitious, grateful and still want more — and you are always allowed to choose again.

We all know that consistency is key when it comes to Face Yoga. But knowing what to do and actually motivating yourself to do it regularly are two very different things!

After more than two decades of practising and teaching Face Yoga, one of the questions I’m asked most often is: “How do I stay consistent with Face Yoga?”

So in this solo episode of The Face Yoga Expert Podcast, I’m sharing 5 simple ways to motivate yourself to practise Face Yoga, even on the days when you’re busy, tired, distracted or simply don’t feel like doing it.

These aren’t about creating another rigid wellness routine or putting more pressure on yourself. Instead, they’re small, realistic shifts that can help Face Yoga become an enjoyable and sustainable part of your everyday self-care routine.

In this episode, I talk about:

My biggest reminder in this episode is that there is no perfect Face Yoga routine. Consistency isn’t about doing something perfectly every single day. It’s about coming back to it again and again.

Face Yoga should ultimately be an act of self-care, not another reason to be hard on yourself.

If you’ve been thinking about taking your love of Face Yoga further, I also have a special bonus available for my accredited Face Yoga Teacher Training course.

Purchase the Face Yoga Teacher Training before 4pm BST on 9th September and you’ll also be invited to join me for a LIVE VIP Group Coaching Call on Zoom at 6pm BST on 9th September.

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn directly with me, ask your questions and receive extra support as you begin or develop your journey as a Face Yoga Teacher.

How do you know when it’s really your intuition speaking — and when it’s actually fear?

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Gregg and Jill Ritchie, co-founders of The Intuitive Psychology Association, for a fascinating conversation about intuition, psychology, spirituality and learning to trust that inner knowing.

We talk about Sarah and Jill’s personal journeys and the experiences that led them to the work they do today, as well as why they decided to create The Intuitive Psychology Association and bring together the worlds of psychology and intuitive wisdom.

We also explore:

Sarah Gregg and Jill Ritchie are the co-founders of The Intuitive Psychology Association — the world’s first and only fully accredited Intuitive Psychology Coach training provider. Their groundbreaking programme certifies coaches around the world in a method that blends psychology with intuitive wisdom.

Sarah is a two-time published author with a background in psychology and has sold more than 90,000 books. Jill is a globally recognised Intuitive Coach who has worked with thousands of people, including Olympians and celebrities.

Together, they combine modern science with ancient spiritual practices to create coaching methods designed to support meaningful and lasting change.

They are also the voices behind The Intuitive Psychology Podcast, where they explore topics including tuning into your intuition, breaking free from limiting patterns and unlocking your full potential.

Their work has been featured in The British Journal of Mental Health Nursing, Fabulous Magazine and HELLO! Magazine, as well as at events including Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place, YogaFit Retreats Ibiza and Chris Evans’ CarFest, and on BBC Radio.

At the heart of their work is the belief that reaching your fullest potential isn’t necessarily about having more information — it’s about developing a deeper connection to your own intuition.

In this short solo episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of what I packed and wore for our family holiday in Greece — but this episode is about so much more than clothes.

I’ve always believed that wellness is about the whole picture. It’s the way we move, the way we think, the way we care for ourselves and, perhaps surprisingly, even the way we dress.

Fashion can have such an impact on how we feel, and being more intentional about what we wear can be a simple way to shift our mindset, confidence and energy.

In this episode, I talk about:

This is a light, personal episode with some simple ideas you can take into your next holiday, your wardrobe and your everyday life.

I hope it inspires you to look at the clothes you already own in a slightly different way and to think about not just how you want to look, but how you want to feel.

After more than two decades working in the wellness and beauty industry, I’ve realised that some of my strongest beliefs have completely changed.

In this personal solo episode, I’m sharing the lessons that only time, experience and thousands of conversations with clients have taught me. From ageing and skincare to hormones, exercise, success and beauty standards, I talk honestly about how my perspective has evolved over the last 21 years.

In this episode, I share:

Whether you’ve followed me for years or you’re new to the podcast, I hope this episode encourages you to question old beliefs, embrace change and remember that growth often comes from being willing to evolve.

Have you ever noticed that dreaming, planning and setting goals often feels exciting… but actually taking the action is the part that feels hardest?

After more than 21 years building a successful wellness business, I’ve realised that most people don’t struggle because they lack ideas. They struggle because fear, procrastination, perfectionism and self-doubt stop them from taking the consistent action that creates real results.

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts and practical strategies that have helped me build an international business while staying true to my values. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in business for years, these simple tips will help you stop overthinking and start moving forwards.

1. Start before you’re ready
Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Action creates confidence, clarity and momentum.

2. Make the next step ridiculously small
When a goal feels overwhelming, shrink it until it feels almost impossible to say no.

3. Schedule action in your diary
Treat the most important tasks in your business like appointments you wouldn’t cancel.

4. Done is better than perfect
Perfection delays progress. Publishing, launching and learning will always move you forwards faster than waiting for everything to be perfect.

5. Expect discomfort… but do it anyway

Growth nearly always feels uncomfortable. The people who succeed aren’t fearless—they simply learn to keep moving despite the discomfort.

I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired to stop waiting and start taking the small, consistent actions that create lasting success.

If you’re ready to gain more clarity, build a business that feels aligned with your values and receive personalised support, I’d love to work with you through my private one-to-one business coaching.

Together we’ll refine your niche, strengthen your messaging, simplify your strategy and create a business that supports both your success and your wellbeing.

 What if one simple practice could completely change the way you think and feel about ageing?

In this week’s episode, I’m guiding you through a calming meditation that I return to whenever I want to reconnect with gratitude for my face, my body and the privilege of growing older.

You can listen with your eyes closed in a quiet space, allowing yourself to fully relax, or simply play it in the background while you’re walking, tidying the house or going about your day. Even if you’re not consciously focusing on every word, your mind can still absorb the positive messages.

This meditation is designed to:

I’ve always believed that Face Yoga is about so much more than exercises. The way we think about ourselves, the emotions we carry and the relationship we have with our face all influence how we care for ourselves each day. When we move away from self-judgement and towards appreciation, our wellbeing often improves, our stress levels reduce and our healthy habits become much easier to maintain.

I hope this meditation leaves you feeling calmer, lighter and more connected to yourself.

If you’d like to combine this positive mindset with practical techniques to naturally lift, tone and rejuvenate your face, I’d love you to join my 7 Day Natural Face Lift With Face Yoga course.

You’ll learn my signature combination of facial exercises, massage, acupressure, relaxation techniques and wellness practices to help you create healthier, more radiant skin naturally in just 12 minutes a day.

Lately, life has felt busy. Like so many of us, I’ve found myself moving from one task to the next, focusing on what needs doing rather than truly noticing the beauty that’s already around me.

Then I had a conversation with a friend.

I realised she has a wonderful way of romanticising her life. Not in the sense of romance or relationships, but in how she notices the small, meaningful moments throughout her day and creates little rituals simply because they bring her joy.

That conversation completely shifted my perspective.

In this episode, I share how I’ve started embracing this mindset myself, why it’s helping me feel calmer, more present and more grateful, and how it can be a beautiful way to reduce overwhelm and reconnect with yourself.

I also explore the idea of glimmers – those tiny moments of joy, peace or connection that help regulate our nervous system and remind us that happiness is often found in the simplest everyday experiences.

This is a gentle, uplifting episode that invites you to slow down, notice more and create a life that feels just as beautiful as it looks.

Life doesn’t have to be extraordinary to feel magical.

When we slow down enough to notice the little moments, create simple rituals and allow ourselves to do things simply because they make us feel good, we often discover that joy has been there all along.

In this episode, I’m sharing three of the biggest lessons I regularly discuss with my private business coaching clients. These aren’t complicated strategies or quick wins.
