When a fight broke out in a Birmingham school between two male pupils, their shocked teacher, Marian stepped in to try to break them up. In a rage, one of the boys turned on her, inflicting a vicious physical assault on her. This does not appear to be a rare occurrence in schools sadly as Marian tells me that, over the last 12 months, 8% of teachers in the UK are reported to have been physically assaulted by pupils. Marian joins me to talk about the incident, the aftermath and her recovery.

What can you do when your boss is sexually harassing you and there is only the two of you working in the office? Will people believe you? Is it your fault? Is it just 'banter'? When Christine found herself in this situation, she froze, not knowing what to do. Luckily she is now out of that horrible situation but the mental scars still remain. The lovely Christine joins me today to tell her #metoo story.

Aileen worked for 12 years in Hong Kong as a freelance English language teacher. She was having a great time, enjoying life in Hong Kong when she fell ill and needed emergency surgery. Unfortunately, Aileen had not felt she could afford to purchase medical insurance and consequently was treated in the public hospital. Aileen joins me today to talk about her experience and how she ended up with a diagnosis of ptsd put down to the poor treatment she received at the hospital.

This week I talk to the beautiful Mari Curteanu, founder of Body, Mind & Soul Fitness. Recently, although always having been amazingly fit and healthy, Mari faced a life threatening diagnosis which resulted in 3 major surgeries in 12 months. After the initial shock, Mari faced her crisis with the grace and resilience that she has faced her whole life with. Now fully recovered, Mari runs her successful business coaching clients how to navigate their way through their own challenges. Listen up because there is so much to learn from this story.
