  • Divorced at 27, Rebuilt Across 40 Countries: How Amy Kelly Turned Heartbreak into a Life She Loves

    Have you ever lost yourself so completely in a relationship that when it ended, you didn't know who you were anymore?

    In this episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Amy Kelly — life coach, traveller, and founder of The Dreamy Reset Life — about what it truly takes to rebuild yourself after heartbreak, divorce, and identity loss.

    Amy's story begins in a childhood bedroom. Married young and divorced by 27, she found herself back where she started — questioning her worth, her identity, and everything she thought her life was supposed to look like. But instead of staying stuck, Amy made a decision that changed everything. She booked a one-way flight and spent the next chapter of her life rebuilding across 40+ countries, reclaiming her identity, her freedom, and her joy one country at a time.

    Now she helps women in their 20s and 30s do exactly the same — not necessarily by travelling the world, but by doing the deeper work: resetting their nervous systems, rediscovering their desires, and creating a life that finally feels like theirs through her signature method, The Dreamy Reset Life.

    In this episode, we explore:
    — What really happens to a woman's identity after divorce or heartbreak — and why so many women lose themselves in relationships without realising it
    — How Amy went from her childhood bedroom to rebuilding her life across 40+ countries — and what that journey taught her about herself
    — The Dreamy Reset Life method — what it is, how it works, and who it's for
    — How to rebuild trust in yourself after a relationship has shaken your confidence to the core
    — Practical steps for women in their 20s and 30s who are navigating divorce, heartbreak, or a major identity shift

    If you're going through a breakup, divorce, or simply feel like you've forgotten who you are outside of a relationship — this episode is for you.

  • How to Grow Your Business With a Book That Does the Selling For You — with Brand Book Expert Claire Clarke

    Your expertise could be packaged into a book that attracts high-quality leads, positions you as the go-to expert in your niche, and generates passive income on Amazon — all while you sleep!

    Host Paula Burns sits down with Claire Clarke — the brand book expert helping coaches, consultants, and course creators grow their businesses with a book that does the selling for them — completely changing how you think about your business strategy.

    Claire talks about practical, strategic workbooks and planners that your clients actively use — tools so valuable they become lead magnets, programme boosters, and passive income streams. And the best part? You can sell them on Amazon with no stock, no warehouse, and no upfront cost.

    If you're a coach, consultant, or course creator who wants to grow your visibility, attract better clients, and build a business asset that works for you around the clock — this episode is unmissable.

    In this episode, we explore:
    — How a book can position you as the go-to expert in your niche and attract high-quality leads on autopilot
    — The difference between a book people read once and a strategic tool clients return to again and again — and why that distinction matters for your business
    — How branded books work as lead magnets and programme boosters — and why they outperform most other marketing tools
    — Who this strategy works best for and how to get started even if you have no idea where to begin

    Claire's approach is practical, low-barrier, and genuinely exciting for any professional woman ready to turn her knowledge into a business asset.

  • Freedom From Food Guilt & Body Shame: Healing Your Relationship With Food with Eating Disorder Specialist Lisa Ungar

    Content note: this episode includes open and honest discussion of eating disorders, emotional eating, body image, and food-related shame. If you are currently struggling with an eating disorder, please listen with care and reach out to a professional for support. 

    What would it feel like to sit down to a meal — any meal — without guilt, fear, or shame? To eat freely, joyfully, and without restriction?

    For so many women, that feels impossible. In this episode of The True You Podcast, host Paula Burns sits down with Lisa Ungar — accredited eating disorder specialist, nutritionist, psychologist, and woman who has lived every step of this journey herself — for one of the most compassionate, liberating conversations on the show.

    Lisa's story is one of hard-won freedom. Having navigated her own complex relationship with food and her body, she rebuilt that relationship from the inside out — through resilience, self-compassion, and a genuine commitment to understanding what food truly meant to her. Today, Lisa eats everything. Freely. Without shame. Without restriction. And with a love for her body she never thought possible. Now she helps other women do exactly the same.

    Drawing from her expertise in nutrition, psychology, and her own lived experience, Lisa works with women to move away from food guilt, emotional eating, and body shame — and towards genuine food freedom, body confidence, and lasting peace with themselves.

    In this episode, we explore:
    — What eating disorders and disordered eating really look like for women — and why so many go unrecognised for years
    — The powerful connection between food guilt, body shame, and self-esteem — and how healing one begins to heal all three
    — What emotional eating actually is, what drives it, and how to start untangling your relationship with food without restriction or self-judgment
    — Practical first steps for women who know their relationship with food needs to change but don't know where to begin

    This is not a weight loss episode. This is not about restriction or discipline. This is about freedom — and every woman deserves to feel it.
