  • Superhero Finder #10 The Awakened Authentic You- Defying Gender Expectations in Culture | Salwa Abdul Hadi

    Today we talk passion, resilience, aligning yourself with your values and the strength that brings.

    Salwa Abdul Hadi, is a Female Social Entrepreneur Coach and a passionate Gender Equality Advocate on a mission to empower driven female entrepreneurs and professional women to step into their power, rise up and grab their seat at the table of change. 

    She is especially passionate about supporting those who were born into a patriarchal society to become leaders, helping to eradicate beliefs that they are not worthy, in her bid to work towards more gender equality.

    Salwa was born into a patriarchal society and had it ingrained from birth that she was inferior based on her gender. Her normal changed when she was 15 years old, when she escaped Saudia rabia with her mother and siblings to the UK, – this was the first time ever she had experienced not only a different country, but a different world!

    Tune in for us talking about that, how the experience led Salwa to excel in new career choices and the incredible journey in finding the power of Self Development.

  • Superhero Finder #7 From Bingeing to Barbells - How Focus Can Change Your Life | Amy Massey
    Have you been told that you are overweight?  Has your doctor ever told you that your BMI is too high, and it is your responsibility to lower it?  I want you to take a moment and think about that, what is it you are going to do about it?  Well, you can follow strict diets, you can go to slimming groups and take all the supplements you want.  
    But if you don't enjoy it then it wont last.  Amy was on this journey and found a way to not only find what she enjoyed, but make herself a career and get results from her passion!  
    She is also here to remind us that weight isn't everything, in fact if you look in the right places, weight can be an advantage, especially in strength training.

  • Superhero Finder #6 - The Benefits Of Exercise Are Bigger Than The Gym | Luke Goodwin
    I had the absolute pleasure of Luke's company today. He told me all about how the effects of exercising go way beyond just the gym and burning calories..   
    Now the Covid Pandemic has changed life for everybody, each in a different way and Luke's story tells me that it possible for ANYONE to turn their life around even during a pandemic.  Luke decided that enough is enough and took on our 2020 lockdown head on.. 
    Qualifying as a personal trainer meant that he was able to help other build the strength and resilience he had found personally from being in the gym.  If you want to get in touch or keep up with what Luke is getting up to you can find him on instagram : @Gooders8585

  • Superhero Finder #5 - A Very Frank View Into My Weight Loss Surgery | Danielle Healy
    Maybe you are on your own transformational journey.. 
    Its heading up to Christmas now and maybe you are joining millions in the 'New Year, New Me' plan.  Well whatever your plans are to change your body, I would give this a watch.  
    Not because it benefits me, but because these interviews are designed to resonate.
     For you to see and connect with at least one of the things myself or my guests say.  
    This is a VERY frank interview with my friend Danielle Healy, who chose to change her life in the last few years.  After trying everything she came to the conclusion that weight loss surgery would be the route for her. She has lost 9 stone.  
    Kindly she answered various questions as we chatted away, this is one very funny lady! 
     How did you come to that decision? 
    What was involved? 
    Do you consider it successful? 
    How did you lose the weight? 
    Have you had to exercise? 
    How has life changed since? 
    Would you advise it to others? 
    Would you do anything differently?  
    If you are interested in knowing the answers to these, or even not interested at all in Weight loss surgery, this interview is PACKED with value, and worth a peek in between your next Netflix binge.

  • Superhero Finder #4 - Our Experiences of Anti Depressants and other Interventions | Andy and Maggie
    **TW**  I was very fortunate to be asked to give a special space for this conversation to happen, by two individuals both Maggie and Andy who have and continue to deal with challenges towards their own wellbeing, mental health and self kindness.  What we have here is less of an interview, more of an incredibly enriching discussion with the purpose of spreading positivity during 2020, described by many as a dark year.  
    Its really not easy to describe to you why you should take a look at this video.  Its not for my benefit, nor Andy or Maggie, but if you take a look you may well hear something that resonates with you and gives you hope and support, or maybe even get an insight into what is going on for someone close to you. 
     **Warning** **TW** 
     Do you prefer Video? I have you covered, all of the podcast episodes are available on Youtube, so please subscribe to my channel and watch them all, RAW and unedited. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2bo7iz_J1w0mX67Bx4S29A

  • Superhero Finder #3 Just 1 to 11 it - Exploring Mental Strength and Resilience | Martin Pemberton
    Yet another incredible day in the life of a Superhero finder.  A day full of strength, compassion, building confidence and really harnessing the power of choice that we hold within ourselves.  Interview number 3 in the series sees me talk to Martin Pemberton (it could have gone on for days!) about his back story, what events have shaped his level of skill and resilience and how life changing events then played their part.  Its not all jelly and custard, but its frank and in the most positive note.  
    So we do touch on sensitive subjects such as #depression
    and #suicidalthoughts
    as a heads up.  Martin now spends his time educating and coaching others on his experience and how they too can 1 to 11 it!  
    Want to know what 1 to 11 it is? You will have to watch...  See it here and when you are done, episode 1 and 2 are also available if you haven't already!

  • Superhero Finder #2 - Exploring Self Kindness - The Power of Being Truly You | Andy Bradley

    In this Interview I have the privilege to be talking to Andy Bradley, a leader and visionary in the kindness space, working with many organisations to spread the importance of loving and accepting yourself.  A superheroes real power comes from within, and its safe to say that without that one can not run at full capacity.  I wont spoil some of what you will find within, but get into a quiet space, or headphones in and get ready....   You can see Andy's TEDx talk on closing the compassion gap here, its fantastic:  https://youtu.be/eMelRxXl3-M
