The theme music is called ‘Life I Chose’ by Kick Lee.

In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with renowned dating and relationship coach and three-time author Persia Lawson.

Growing up, Persia’s parents struggled with drug addiction.

To escape the challenging emotions, she focused on becoming an overachiever, and as part of her subconscious coping mechanism, she found herself leaning into an addiction to sex and love.

She became well-practised at sabotaging any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys’.

Persia’s rock bottom moment came in her mid-twenties when she became the victim of sexual assault.

Following this incident, she put on two stone in weight which prompted her concerned dad to take her away to a health retreat in Thailand.

Whilst there, he gave Persia some advice that changed the entire trajectory of her life.

These words were the launch pad she needed to leverage all her overachiever energy towards healing the real root of all her romantic dilemmas.

Today Persia will be gracious enough to share her incredible story and offer the wisdom of what she has learned.

Highlights:

👉 How relationships are modelled for us

👉 Relationship Advice

👉 Self-sabotage 

👉 Drivers behind cheating on a partner

👉 Respect in a relationship

In this episode, I’ll chat with Holly Matthews, a former TV actress, Ted X speaker, Life Coach, and founder of The Happy Me Project.

Holly has established a solid social media following of over 40,000 followers across her platforms and over 3 million views on her award-winning YouTube Channel.

She is the author of the No.1 best-selling book The Happy Me Project. In 2017, Holly’s husband Ross died of brain cancer, and she vlogged about her experience.

The lead-up to his death and its aftermath were extensively featured in the UK media, including print, radio, and television, opening a brand new audience to Holly.

Holly launched her flagship brand, The Happy Me Project, in 2017, just months after her husband's death. She has watched hundreds go through its virtual doors, and many more attend the in-person workshops of the same name.

Holly is a Mum to two daughters, Brooke (nine) and Texas (seven), who worked with her on The Happy Me Project KIDS online visualisations course and in-person workshop.

On this podcast, I aim to speak to people who have specialised in personal development or have experienced something life-changing and have managed to extract some form of learning or understanding.

Today, we get both.

In this episode, I am joined by Adeyemi Adeyosoye, a spiritual and executive coach who is also known as the energy guy.

According to Adeyemi, attracting your dream life doesn't necessarily require new plans or strategies.

Instead, he believes that it is essential to discover and commit to your soul's purpose and become skilled at channelling energy. 

Adeyemi's journey has been remarkable: he started by cleaning toilets but eventually landed jobs at some of the best tech companies in Europe. He attributes this success to his ability to harness the power of energetics. 

His passion for energetics is so intense that he now works as a coach and helps others unlock their full potential. 

Highlights:

👉 What is energetics?

👉 Purpose and well-being

👉 Energetics and wealth

👉 Using the past to create shifts in the future

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with the chartered psychologist, social scientist, author and broadcaster, Dr Meg Arroll.

Meg started her career in academia, focusing on medically unexplained conditions that leave people feeling lost, neglected and at sea in a world of symptoms, stigma and pain.

This passion for finding answers to questions that no doctors seem able to treat came from her own experience – which gave her that rare combination of subjective personal experience and objective professional skills. 

Dr Arroll aims to guide people through their journeys so that they have the confidence to move forward independently.

Meg is also the author of the book The Shinkology Solution and her latest book, Tiny Traumas which I hope to hear more about today.

Highlights:

👉 What are tiny traumas?

👉 The impact of tiny traumas

👉 How to accept

👉 The meaning behind our emotions
