  • Chronic Ill Health - Finding hope amidst health hardships

    Sarah Barley McMullen joins us to talk about Chronic Ill Health. Chronic Illness is something that affects almost 1 in every 2 people (47.5% Office of National Statistics 2020) And with the advent of Long Covid this figure is sadly only set to rise.

    What effects does that have on our day to day lives? How are our abilities, skills and talents impacted? What is the damage to our emotional and mental wellness? Sarah invites us into her world as a previously able bodied person who has had to adapt to survive.

    Her candour, determination and humour are things that have pulled her along on this journey as well as the unwavering support of her wife Helen. 

    This episode offer hope in the face of life long illness, disability and disease and easy to implement ideas to improve your mental and emotional wellbeing. If you have a Chronic Illness Warriors in your life this can also help you to best support their needs as well as looking after your own.

    I truly value your precious time here today.

    With Love and Empowerment

  • Overcoming Adversity -How to dig deep, conquer your challenges and win

    Adversity is something that everyone faces in their life. It presents differently for all of us. It is caused by different things for all of us – but adversity shows up somehow for all of us. So, what do we do when we face adversity? Today’s guest, World Championship Athlete, Simon Ward has a huge amount of lived experience, expertise and insight connected to overcoming our challenges – and it isn’t taking a sledgehammer to a printer (though he has trialled that!)

    He knows that bringing language to our emotional health and mental wellness is key. When life brings up obstacles, goals have been his saviour. Visual reminders of his goals have spurred him on – even post-it notes in his underwear drawer! Little steps, daily incremental changes will lead you to where you want to get to. His huge heart and wicked sense of humour have ensured he has lived a life full of twists and turns, from dining in Hollywood to sleeping on a park bench with grizzly bears!

    I hope that this whirlwind tour of an adversity strewn life will give you hope that you can overcome your griefs, challenges, obstacles, and pitfalls. You too are a champion.

    I truly value your precious time here today.

  • Your Secret Super Power

    Did you know that there is something instantly accessible and totally FREE that can positively impact your Emotional, Physical and Mental Wellbeing? 

    I know, exciting right?! That special something is ……..your very own voice!

    This week I am joyous to be joined by Musician, Vocalist, and all-round wondrous woman - Sarah Dale, who will be telling us more about how our own voice really is our super-power.

    Sarah shares her in-depth knowledge and experiences of the power of the human voice. Her voice (and laugh) certainly is a scrumptious treat for your ears!

    I know not all of us are confident in using our voice or even know where to start to access the brilliant benefits. Sarah gives real, relatable ideas and information that you can start trying out today.

    And if there are children in your life then we even explore how we can use what we have learned in our time together to support our Children’s Emotional, Physical and Mental Wellness.

    Now, more than ever, we need cost effective, accessible, and effective support so that we can find the way forward and live our most optimal lives, whatever that looks like for you.

    I truly value your precious time here today.
