Unabridged You

What does it take to turn rock bottom into a turning point?
For Melanie Wert, online personal trainer and life coach, the answer was realizing that no one else could make lasting changes for her — she had to do it herself. 

In this conversation, Melanie shares her story of transformation and how she now helps others bring together physical and mental health to support growth. She talks about: 

• What hitting rock bottom taught her about resilience
• The role of mindset in creating change that lasts
• How she built a worldwide community that breaks down barriers and holds each other accountable to healthier living

If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, or wondered how to truly align body and mind, you’ll find Melanie’s journey both relatable and inspiring.

In this episode, Elsa joins us via zoom from France. 

Else begins by sharing her story about how this chapter of her life, where she is becoming unabridged, starts with the death of her father.  We go on to have an 'emotionally naked' conversation and talk about all sorts from death to conversations with strangers, Gestalt therapy to philosophies on living and so much more!

Ronni was the first ever guest on Unabridged You, and he is back in this episode to share his conversation and storytelling skills with us and help me explore my thoughts about the concept of Unabridged.

This is Episode 30.  

As the podcast has progressed so has my thinking. 

Together Ronni and I peel back the layers (like onions), talk about our favorite canned food and wonder: does being unabridged risk becoming a single story?

In this episode our guest is Arjen Barel: storytelling coach and director of the Storytelling Centre in Amsterdam.

Arjen shares part of his story as well as his experience with story to weave together a potent understanding of story and the power of storytelling in contemporary society.  Among other topics he considers story and resilience and demonstrates how story can be seen in action, in the ideas that guide us, and particularly applied to the concepts of polarisation and identity construction.  

Arjen reminds us to take time to listen to the stories of others and to consider our own story as well.

In this episode Laura Rubin shares her story and her guidance on living a life you design and choose as opposed to floating along with the current.

After years of following society’s check boxes, Laura found herself trapped in a cycle of hustle and burnout.  But a pivotal midlife moment led to a profound realisation:  She was merely surviving on autopilot, not truly living.  Determined to align her life with her true desires, Laura embarked on a journey of self-discovery, finding clarity, confidence, and courage along the way.  Now she is on a mission to educate, empower, and inspire others to step into their courage, defy their status quo, think outside the box, and buck the system in pursuit of their highest good and hearts’ desires both personally and professionally. A goal I see as well aligned with the concept of becoming Unabridged, join us as we delve into Laura's Story and her her practical guidance on living your life be design, not default.

One fantastic tip starts with asking yourself what you don't want... listen to the episode to hear the other steps!
