"We were left. It was the community who showed up."

This episode is a powerful, heart-opening conversation with Zoe, founder of All For One Community Hub, mental health advocate, and survivor of the Grenfell Tower fire.

From losing her home in one of the UK’s most devastating tragedies to finding purpose through community healing, motherhood, and activism, Zoe shares her deeply personal story with raw honesty and courage.

We talk about what really happens after trauma, the failures of the system, and the power of lived experience in shaping change.

Zoe opens up about navigating PTSD, birth trauma, postnatal depression, and how her daughter (who was unknowingly in the boxing ring with her!) became a symbol of rebirth and resilience.

🎧 In this episode we cover:

• Life before and after Grenfell: what really happened in the aftermath
• Building a community hub for healing, unity, and opportunity
• Zoe’s experience of postnatal depression and emotional recovery
• Why we need more mental health support for both mums and dads
• Birth trauma, premature delivery, and finding strength through adversity
• Using your voice as a tool for healing and advocacy
• Navigating motherhood and entrepreneurship as a form of legacy

If you're a woman who’s experienced loss, rebirth, or simply needed to find her power again, this one will hit home.

You’ll walk away reminded that healing isn’t linear, community matters, and your voice is your superpower.

"Live your life well. If it’s not making you happy, just stop doing it." - Georgia Rose

In this deeply honest and beautifully vulnerable episode, I sit down with Georgia Rose,  a clinical sexologist, sex coach, and cancer survivor. We talk about what it really means to reconnect with your body, your sensuality, and yourself after a life-altering experience.

Georgia shares her powerful story of discovering a tumour the size of a football right before moving to Ibiza, navigating an intense cancer journey, and emerging on the other side with a completely new perspective on life, pleasure, and womanhood. We talk about somatic healing, rebuilding your sexual identity after trauma, and what it means to truly listen to your body and stop chasing the versions of yourself that no longer serve you.

✨ Topics we cover:

• Listening to your body’s signals and self-advocacy
• Navigating grief, shock, and identity shifts after cancer
• Reclaiming pleasure and redefining sexuality in a new chapter of life
• Somatic therapy, breathwork, and bodywork as tools for emotional release
• The unspoken reality of sex after big life events
• The importance of slowing down and living intentionally

This is a conversation about releasing old identities, embracing softness, and finding courage to meet yourself exactly where you are and it’s one you don’t want to miss.
