The Identity Edge with Lucy Cronly and Anne Marie Beggs episodes
- What Can a Garden Teach Us About Who We Are?
What can a garden teach us about ourselves?
In this episode of The Identity Edge, Lucy Cronly and Anne-Marie Beggs explore the surprising connection between gardening, personal growth, wellbeing and discovering who we really are.
A garden isn't just about pulling out the weeds. If you simply remove what you don't want, you are left with empty space. To create something better, you need to deliberately plant something new.
The same can be true in our lives.
Lucy and Anne-Marie talk about patience, growth, pruning, creating space, finding your purpose and understanding what actually brings you joy. They explore why simply removing stress or taking things away doesn't necessarily make us happier — sometimes we need to replace them with activities, relationships and experiences that genuinely fulfil us.
They also discuss the idea of mental fitness, the importance of intentional living, understanding what your mind and body need, and why discovering your “Why” and your true identity isn't something that happens overnight.
Sometimes we need to prune. Sometimes we need to be patient. And sometimes we simply need to ask ourselves:
“What am I trying to grow?”
Join Lucy and Anne-Marie for another thought-provoking conversation on The Identity Edge.

14 min - The Identity Edge with Lucy Cronly and Anne Marie BeggsThe Identity Edge – Episode 1: Are You Wearing the Right Shoes?
In the first episode of The Identity Edge, Anne-Marie Beggs and Lucy Cronly explore Lucy’s book The Right Shoes and discover that it’s not really about shoes at all.
The conversation looks at identity, confidence and how we choose to show up in the world. Lucy introduces the question: “When people hear your footsteps coming, what do they hear?” Do they hear support, confidence and reassurance — or someone who needs support themselves?
Using shoes as a powerful everyday metaphor, Anne-Marie and Lucy discuss how our needs and identities change, why we sometimes hold on to things that no longer fit us, and how making intentional choices can create space for something new.
A warm, personal and thought-provoking conversation about letting go of what no longer fits and finding what feels right for who you are today.

About The Identity Edge with Lucy Cronly and Anne Marie Beggs
From the publisher's feed
The Identity Edge
What can a pair of shoes, a garden, a dance floor, a paintbrush or a
suitcase tell you about who you are?
Quite a lot, as it turns out.
Welcome to The…
Identity Edge, a podcast with Lucy Cronly and Anne-
Marie Beggs, where we take everyday things we love fashion,
gardening, travelling, dancing, painting, creativity, singing and even
choosing the right shoes and look at them from a slightly different angle.
The best way to understand ourselves isn't to sit down and ask, “Who
am I?”
It could be:
“Why did I choose those shoes?”
“What am I growing in my garden?”
“Why am I afraid to dance?”
“Whose picture am I trying to paint?”
“Where am I actually going?”
Or even most importantly…
“Is this still the life I want to be wearing?”
Were interested in the stories hiding underneath the everyday choices
we make.
Things we try or avoid or we think we're “not good at.”
Things we did once and stopped doing or even the things we've always
wanted to do but somehow never quite got around to.
Creativity isn't just about being creative.
Gardening isn't just about gardening.
Fashion isn't just about what you wear.
Travel isn't just about where you go and singing isn't necessarily about
having a good voice!
They're all opportunities to notice ourselves our values, our beliefs, our
confidence, our fears, our curiosity, our assumptions and the choices we
make when nobody is telling us what we should do.
That's where The Identity Edge comes in.
We;re going to have some fun along the way. There will be stories,
ex'eriments, probably a few questionable artistic efforts, and the
occasional moment when one of us says, “I am not doing that!”
Underneath the fun is something quite serious, that self-awareness
matters.
When we take the time to understand ourselves better, we can make
choices more consciously and live with greater intention.
We don't believe you need to become a completely different person.
Quite the opposite we want to explore what happens when you get
curious about the person who's already there, your own unique self.
Whether you're standing in front of your wardrobe, digging in the garden,
booking a flight, picking up a paintbrush, stepping onto a dance floor or
wondering whether you still fit the life you've created...come and explore
with us.
This is The Identity Edge.
We believe finding yourself starts with something as simple as choosing
the right shoes.
