This week we’re joined by Holly Scarsella - brand and business consultant, investor and mum of three - for a powerful, no-fluff business masterclass on how to build, grow and scale a business in today’s digital world.

Holly shares her journey from working in PR for global brands to founding and selling her own fashion label, before moving into consultancy and mentoring female-led businesses. Drawing on real-world experience, she breaks down what actually separates businesses that succeed from those that struggle, especially in an oversaturated online market.

We explore the importance of mastering the fundamentals before chasing growth, why conversion matters more than visibility, and how understanding your customer journey, touchpoints and retention strategy can completely transform a business. Holly also unpacks why many founders rush to scale too soon, how to know if your business is actually ready and the honest questions every founder needs to ask themselves about capacity, risk and sustainability.

This conversation is packed with practical insights on marketing, community building, confidence, problem-solving, and redefining success — particularly for women balancing ambition, family and wellbeing. Whether you’re just starting out, feeling stuck, or considering your next stage of growth, this episode offers grounded advice you can apply immediately!

In this solo episode of The RAISE Podcast, we’re kicking off the new year by cutting through the wellness noise and sharing the wellness shifts and trends we believe will define 2026... not from a hype-driven place, but from what actually supports the body, mind and nervous system long-term.

We talk honestly about the overwhelm that comes with “doing it all,” and why wellness is moving away from performative optimisation and towards regulation, simplicity and sustainability. This is the year wellness gets quieter, less about chasing metrics and more about how you actually feel!

In this conversation, we unpack:

- Why boundaries are becoming the ultimate wellness upgrade (blue light cut-offs, device-free time, fewer decisions)

- Why sleep and bedroom wellness is the real foundation of health

- The rise of nervous system regulation, low-output days and rest without guilt

- Why “boring wellness” (early nights, routine meals, simple movement) is becoming aspirational

- How eating simply, reducing decision fatigue and focusing on digestion-first nutrition supports long-term health

- Why fibre is finally getting the respect it deserves for gut, hormone and metabolic health

- The growing focus on jaw health, chewing, nasal breathing and facial structure

- Why fascia-focused movement, rebounders and vibration are having a moment

- The shift towards homes designed for human biology, not aesthetics

- How childhood wellness is changing - with boredom, life skills and nervous-system-friendly homes taking centre stage

- Where peptides, ancient practices and personalised health fit into the future of wellness

- Why accessibility, individuality and foundational habits matter more than ever

This episode is an invitation to slow down, protect your energy and focus on what actually moves the needle for your health, without trying to do everything. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by wellness trends, this is your reminder: you don’t need more, you need the right foundations.

NAD is everywhere right now! Hailed as the key to energy, longevity, better sleep, sharper focus and even younger skin. But what’s actually real… and what’s just hype?

In this week's episode we sit down with Dr Nichola Conlon, molecular biologist, longevity researcher and founder of Nuchido, to cut through the noise and unpack the science behind one of the most talked-about molecules in health and wellness.

Dr Conlon explains what NAD actually is, why it declines so dramatically as we age, and how that decline impacts energy, brain fog, sleep, inflammation and biological ageing, especially for women in perimenopause and menopause.

This conversation reframes ageing as a cellular process you can influence, not something you simply have to accept, and brings the focus back to sustainable habits, foundational health and long-term vitality.

If you’re curious about longevity, energy, hormones, or how to age well without extremes, this is an episode you’ll want to listen to in full!

Rather than setting rushed resolutions or chasing unrealistic goals, Coral & Natalie invite you into a calm, workshop-style experience that focuses on identity, consistency and self-trust. This is about creating change that lasts, through small, repeatable habits and clear boundaries that support the life you actually want to live.

In this episode, you’ll be guided to:

- Reflect on the season you’re closing and release what no longer serves you

- Define your North Star identity for the next 100 days

- Create a simple foundation using the RAISE pillars (Body, Mind, Heart and Fuel)

- Choose a handful of non-negotiable habits that feel supportive, not overwhelming

- Build momentum with optional wins — without pressure

- Prepare for the inevitable wobble and plan a compassionate return

- Visualise how you want to feel at the end of the 100 days

- Make a clear commitment to yourself and your year ahead

This episode is designed to leave you feeling steady, focused and capable, with a plan you can return to whenever you need to recalibrate. If you’re craving a slower, more intentional way to begin the year...this is your invitation.

In this episode, we sit down with transformational coach and author Matt Cooke to explore the real mechanics of manifestation, not as wishful thinking, but as a science of identity, intention and embodiment.

Matt explains why most people don’t manifest what they want. It's not because their dreams are too big, but because their identity can’t yet hold them. We dive into the observer effect, the role of belief in altering probability and why gratitude before achievement is the quantum key to collapsing timelines.

He breaks down the hidden misunderstanding behind “wanting,” how chasing outcomes keeps us stuck, and why surrender, not struggle, is where the universe meets us. From the neuroscience of identity to practical habits that align intention with action, this episode offers a grounded, evidence-based look at how real change happens.

This conversation is a powerful blueprint for anyone who feels stuck between knowing what they want and actually living it. Expect practical tools, mindset shifts and a new understanding of how the universe responds not to what you want, but to who you are.

This week we sit down with Camilla Fayed and Aurora Solá - authors of Manifesto on the Future of Food and the visionary team behind Farmacy to explore why the health crisis, food crisis and soil crisis, are not separate problems, but one interconnected story.

Camilla and Aurora reveal the uncomfortable truth behind our modern food system: how industrial agriculture, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, and corporate seed monopolies have stripped nourishment from our plates and vitality from our soil.

They share how biodynamic farming, local growers, soil-centred agriculture, and a return to community-based food systems could reverse disease trends, restore our health, and transform the planet in a single generation. Their message is clear: the most radical act you can take right now is knowing your farmer, cooking at home and bringing food back to its source.

From corporate control of seeds, to why supermarkets distort our senses, to the hidden costs of food that show up in our healthcare system, this conversation will change the way you shop, eat, parent, and think about nourishment.

In this week's episode, we sit down to reflect on the most powerful and transformative moments from recent episodes of The RAISE Podcast, the lessons that shifted our mindset, changed our daily habits and stayed with us long after the recordings ended!

From Robin Sharma’s reminder to “leave people better than you found them” and to “create your life in miniature,” to Mimi Bouchard’s deeply practical teachings on identity, embodiment and the Bounce Back Method, this episode distills the wisdom that really moved us.

They revisit Zach Bush’s eye-opening explanation of glyphosate and chronic illness, Roxie Nafousi's wisdom on Confidence and a lack of self-worth, Jayne Donegan’s message of informed choice without judgement, Danny Morel’s powerful breakdown of trauma, healing and personal responsibility and Jenna Macciochi’s and Zoe Scanlan’s guidance on immune health, fevers and trusting the body’s natural intelligence.

They also unpack the insights from Adam Parker on minerals and detox pathways, Jamie Clements on nervous system regulation and the superwoman syndrome, and Louis & Harrison from Long Lane on human connection, alcohol-free living and the future of wellness spaces.

This is an honest debrief filled with realisations, humour, vulnerability and the raw conversations that have shaped our lives, and will hopefully inspire yours too!

This week we sit down with Dr Mazin Al-Khafaji, one of the world’s leading authorities in Chinese medicine, to explore the ancient principles behind this holistic system, and why it may hold the key to understanding modern illness.

Dr Mazin explains how Chinese medicine views the body as an ecosystem - a network of interdependent systems that must stay in balance for health to thrive. He unpacks what a diagnosis looks like, why practitioners examine the tongue and pulse and how conditions like eczema, autoimmune disorders and hormonal imbalances are treated through a process of draining, harmonising and tonifying the body rather than simply suppressing symptoms.

We also discuss the four pillars of health; nourishment, movement, rest and emotional stability - and why maintaining all four is essential for wellbeing. He shares practical insights on food as medicine, the importance of eating diverse colours and flavours to nourish the microbiome, how emotions directly affect the body and what modern medicine can learn from Eastern philosophy.

Dr Mazin’s wisdom offers a bridge between ancient healing and modern science, reminding us that prevention, balance and understanding our body’s signals are the true foundations of health.

This week we sit down with Anna Whitehouse - journalist, broadcaster, author and founder of the Flex Appeal movement, to talk about what it really means to raise families in a system that wasn’t built for parents.

Anna opens up about her decade-long fight for flexible working rights, why motherhood and capitalism clash and how the 9-to-5 structure born from the industrial revolution continues to fail women and families. We discuss everything from the childcare crisis and gender pay gap to the myth of “having it all”, mum guilt and the need for men to be part of the conversation around equality and parenting. 

Anna’s honesty cuts through the noise as she calls for systemic reform, emotional intelligence in workplaces and a redefinition of success for the modern family. This episode is a reminder that the problem isn’t that we’re failing. It’s that we’re being failed by a system that needs to change.
