People often find in modern-day living that the elephant in the room is often their relationship with alcohol.

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with ‘Sober Dave’, David Wilson.

Theme music is called ‘Life I chose’ by Kick Lee.

In this episode, I’ll chat with BBC favourite Simon Mundie.

Simon is a broadcaster, motivational speaker, author and host of the popular podcast ‘Life Lessons: From Sport & Beyond’.

He’s interviewed some of the world's most successful people and has learned many valuable lessons from the sporting elite.

He believes that people aren't broken. They’re conditioned to believe they are.

This kind of thinking is what has given birth to his motto, “Get out of your own way!”

Together, we extract the wisdom from lessons learned from his life as he reflects on how the harsher experiences led to greater resilience and a deeper understanding of acceptance.

This is a profound episode with stacks of gems and plenty of laughs.

Theme music is called ‘Life I chose’ by Kick Lee.

In this episode, Johnny speaks with inspirational speaker, coach and breast cancer survivor, Louise McMilan.

This is an incredibly powerful episode where Louise is brave enough to speak in-depth about her breast cancer survival story.

Due to this, we wanted to make people aware as Louise does go into detail that may be distressing if you are not prepared for it.

Louise is truly a remarkable human being that has been through some literally, unbelievable, experiences and has somehow found the resilience and self-belief to continue to fight.

The two also discuss her experiences in her early life, around depression, self-confidence and self-belief and how it is often our perception of how others see us that dictates how we see ourselves.

One of the most consistent questions that The Self Development Coach gets asked is…

“How can we support the important people in our lives?”

People, of course, want to help the people they care about in their lives.

It’s understandable and tempting to want to take action, to feel the urge to change something or to “fix” someone.

However, often there are no right or wrong actions, nothing needs to change and people might not be broken.

Supporting someone is rarely about doing, it’s about being.

Here are some things that Johnny has discovered that might help you support someone in need.
