    Ep 67 : Embracing the Pause: A Season Finale Reflection

    In this final episode of the season, I invite you into a moment of stillness. Pivots and Plot Twists has always been about connection, reflection, and the messiness of being human. And now, it's time for a pause. I explore what happens when we stop, breathe, and listen—not to fill the silence, but to honor it. I share my personal reflections on creating the podcast, the power of meaningful conversations, and the beauty of knowing when it’s time to rest. This is an episode about trusting the quiet, and letting it lead the way. Take a breath. Come home to yourself. We’ll be back soon—with more stories, more truth, and a deeper sense of purpose.

    Ep 63: Gratitude as a Lifeline: Finding Hope, Connection & Strength in Tough Times

    In this solo episode of Pivots and Plot Twists, I explore the power of gratitude—not as a fluffy feel-good concept, but as a real, grounded tool for emotional resilience and connection in hard times. Gratitude isn’t about pretending things are okay when they’re not. It’s about finding something—no matter how small—to hold onto when the world feels heavy. It’s about remembering that even the smallest acts of kindness can shift not only someone else’s day but also your own. I talk about why helping others is a form of healing, how gratitude can disrupt despair, and why we all hold more power to uplift than we sometimes realise. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep showing up—this episode is for you. Please like, subscribe, share and review our podcast - it means the world to us!

    In this episode of Pivots and Plot Twists, I’m joined by Celia Pronto—a powerhouse in digital transformation, an experienced non-executive director, and a deeply connected holistic mentor. Celia shares how her spiritual journey unfolded unexpectedly during the pandemic and how she’s since woven energy healing, meditation, and gratitude into her everyday life - without stepping away from her high-level corporate career. We talk about what it really means to raise your vibration, why how you feel matters more than how things look, and how women can learn to trust themselves more deeply, in life and in leadership. Whether you're climbing the career ladder or standing at a personal crossroads, Celia’s story is a beautiful reminder that business and spirituality don’t have to exist in separate worlds—they can actually make each other better.

    Ep60: Purpose Isn’t a Unicorn (and You’re Not Behind) with Tamsyn Allington

    In this solo episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all the time in coaching sessions and conversations with clients: purpose. We’ve been fed this idea that purpose is some huge, life-altering thing—you either find it or you don’t. But I believe purpose isn’t a unicorn. It’s not rare, mystical, or reserved for a chosen few. And you’re not behind if you haven’t had some lightning bolt moment. I’ll share my take on what it actually means to be purpose-driven, how to find alignment in your life without burning it all down, and why listening to the whispers before they become screams can change everything. If you’ve been questioning what’s next or wondering if you’ve missed your shot, this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: you’re doing better than you think.
