The Purpose Effect

In the first season of The Purpose Effect, I've tried to collect as many dots as I can on how women who have transformed their lives into ones of Purpose are doing it.  In this Special Episode, I'm going though all of the conversations I have had so far to pick out the dots that I think will be most helpful in your own journey towards discovering, building and growing purpose in your own life.

Emma Jory wants her clients to use movement to be happy and healthy.  She has over 18 years of experience coaching pilates through the studio she founded in Sydney - Emergy Pilates and now through her online coaching programmes at epilates online.  

We talk about Emma's holistic approach to health and wellbeing, which starts with small bites of daily movement.  This encourages us to stay in the present, focus on how movement makes us feel and be consistent.  We also talk about being kind to yourself and loving your body, no matter what it looks like or what it can do right now.

Joan Low left a banking career at JP Morgan to take on the challenge of making mental healthcare seamless and affordable.  A mental health caregiver herself,  Joan saw first hand the need for better mental health literacy, affordability and access in Asia.  

As the Covid 19 pandemic and lockdowns around the world highlighted the importance of mental wellness, in late 2020, ThoughtFull launched the ThoughtFullChat app.  The app is a subscription based service which offers daily chat based coaching with a mental health professional as well as a catalogue of tools to help to you track your progress and resources on everything to improving sleep, to coping with burnout.

Joan and I talk about daily habits to keep our mental health in good shape, the importance of staying the course and her hopes for the mental healthcare space in Asia.

Tracy Minnoch-Nuku has done a lot of things throughout her career in fitness.  She is the co-founder of the Fire Station chain of fitness studios, was Asia Director for Les Mills Asia-Pacific and has consulted numerous gyms and fitness products on their courses and offerings.

Since noticing the lack of space in the fitness industry for women of her 'vintage', Tracy is now focusing on women’s fitness and health in what she calls the “third age”; the years from 35 onwards when our hormones and our bodies are going through huge changes. 

Tracy and I talk about her new podcast Sexy Ageing,  how our hormonal changes are our superpower and how you know when an idea is worth pursuing.

Nina Ebsworth is a fertility guide based in Bali.  She uses coaching reiki, hypnotherapy and hypnosis to empower and support women through their fertile journeys.  Nina began this work after eight failed rounds of IVF, medical investigations, baby loss and heartbreak left her feeling completely disconnected and unable to recognise herself.  After a long journey of healing, Nina realised that emotional health is as important as physical health for fertile wellbeing.

Nina is now the mother of three children - twin boys conceived in her final round of IVF and a natural conception shortly after that many doctors told her would never happen.  We talk about how our bodies usually know what is best for us, if we can only slow down and quiet our minds in order to listen

Nikola Hassan is the founder and managing director of Avant-X, a brand experience consultancy in Kuala Lumpur and a self-confessed branding and marketing geek.  She is also a fellow gemini, a storyteller and a woman with an insatiably inquisitive mind.  Nikola and I talk about the 'click factor' that tells her she is on the right path, why she focuses on goals over dreams and on achieving harmony over balance.

Franki, founder and creator of Frankitas invites me to her new home away from home – Bungalow 18 by Frankitas.  Bungalow 18 was born by seizing an opportunity that originally didn't feel like an opportunity.  After needing to leave Frankitas older space, the Frankitas gallery, at short notice, Franki and her business partner Gaya decided to realise a dream 15 years in the making.

Bungalow 18 is warm, beautiful multi - experiential space to connect, re-charge and shop a curated selection of local brands.  There is a cafe, outdoor fitness space and a place to host private events.

Franki and I talk about cultivating the belief that you have no choice but to succeed, the meaning of ‘wealth’ and how to reap the rewards of community and collaboration in business.

After being asked "What would you do if you could do anything?" Kylie Denis surprised herself by immediately answering "I would open a yoga studio and teach yoga every day".  This led her to establish Omology Yoga in 2017 and quickly grow a loyal community of students and teachers. 

However, when the Covid Pandemic forced many fitness businesses to close their doors, Kylie launched Omology Online - a platform for online yoga done different.  What began as a way to continue to serve her students and support her teachers became a global yoga platform and is now Omology's core business.

Kylie talks about not waiting until you have the 'perfect' product to start, how coming back to the mat allows her to face challenges and what success means to her.
