There's so many Podcasts extolling advice delivered by and from the experts. All the Great and the Good. But I find I'm getting increasingly bamboozled with all their differing advice. Should I be doing this thing or that thing or have I ever even tried any of it out? Truth is, each of us have our own tailor made wisdom, especially unique because it's our own life story that's supplied it! We just have to hear it, trust it and use it. This podcast showcases wisdom from lots of normal people; so you can hear from them what they learned for themselves, and how they applied it to their lives.

    Episode 14. Megan Morgan @trulymadlylife

    The wisdom from our stories. Megan is one of life's ebullient woman, bursting with energy and ideas; and a fierce determination for her family to squeeze everything they can out of life. And that is what this podcast is about. Life. A life changing event in 2017 ripped the soul out of her spirit. She's learning each day to live with the visceral sense that all that she has -which brings her unbridled joy - is balanced on a finely tuned precipice. This podcast has a very real sense of Megan before the event and Megan dealing with life after the event. It's a gripping listen and a conversation which taught me a lot, reminding me not to make judgements of anyone because just under the surface they could be dealing with a very challenging array of emotions. There's so much wisdom in Megans story.

    Episode 13. Hana Khan

    Hana has grown up in a multi heritage home. Pakistan and Ireland, with the UK as her home base. As she asks, where is her path, split between two countries whose traditions and expectations can appear to be contradictions of each other? Growing up has been the hardest part, but now in her mid 20's she's learning to embrace the messiness of it all. Come with us on a beautiful cultural journey where together we explore the grey area that this generation can feel like they're falling between and wonder about the value of old school eastern traditions over the western clamour for equality and individualism. I'm so grateful for Hana to join me in this conversation. It's such an important one and told so beautifully by Hana. Spoiler alert. Listen out for the accountability request - Hana wants to create a platform to hold space for others like her to navigate their dilemmas and find their feet.

    Episode 12. Soumya Karkera

    Life flows. Life wants life. And yet we can all get this feeling of stuckness where our flow grinds to a halt. This is the essence of my vivid conversation with Systemic Constellation Coach, Soumya Karkera, whose work centres around releasing stuckness by drawing on the wisdom from the systems that orbit around our family. Be they living or even not living - our ancestors. "Each of us have experiences that other human beings have gone through - maybe not in our life time - stored in our bodies as memories." Soumya explains with eloquent beauty how we could all move through problems through an inexplicable process that speaks to our trapped ancestral wisdom. I just DEVOURED this conversation. It put into words a feeling I have always had, but didn't understand. Could it have the same impact on you?

    Episode 11. Laura de Rooy

    What does it take to fight for premature babies? To fight for their lives; to fight for budgets to improve their outcomes; to fight for your corner in a healthcare system littered with priorities; to fight to get parents as involved in their babies care, as the pediatric nurses are. Meet Laura, former Consultant Neonatologist at St Georges Hospital, Tooting. She is one phenomenal woman. This is the story of someone on the front line with raw loving care and an unapologetic determination to ensure every single premature baby has the best chance of leaving the hospital with a full 'normal' life ahead. It's not been easy, but, I'm telling you, it's because of Laura's fierce commitment and love, that many babies now, not just in St Georges University Hospital, but around the Country, will have better outcomes. I was blown away but our conversation. When I pressed 'stop' I walked away from the laptop repeating over and over again. 'that was incredible, that was incredible, that was incredible'. We both got a little bit emotional in our conversation. I mean, I'm even welling up now thinking about it. But the tears reveal what it takes from your soul to get young lives across the line. We also talk about what Laura has decided to do next. I'm left feeling that thank God, there are women like Laura in his world.

    Episode 10. Martin Sikula

    Listen. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Martin is a complete one off. You have to listen to him. I know Martin as an invigorating, persuasive and emphatic Coach who 100% wants the best for everyone and wants that for himself too. He has such big curiosity about how to make each and every day better. His spirit and energy is infectious and he's just about to embark on a huge new journey, one that he's waited for, for the longest time. And it's not been easy to play by the rules. But he's had to. You'll get loads of sharp, passionate insight from Martin here that emanates straight from his big fat Czech heart. I can't wait for you all to listen.

    Episode 9. Sian Rowland

    If you're curious about Spoken Word, Playwriting or getting started with a new creative career, Sian's story will inspire you. Her career as an Educator was full of passion and commitment, championing those who's young voices go unheard. Then when it all came to an abrupt end, Sian combined her love of writing, with turning that same passion towards others, who's voices can also be ignored, overlooked or unseen. She began by blogging about the injustice she saw in the Education system, and realised her audience wanted more were sticking around. So, she expanded her repertoire and now writes plays, and performs poetry and has so much wisdom to share with us about her journey and insights from two very different, yet connected worlds. Enjoy listening to Sian's story everybody. There is so much gold in her words!

    Episode 8. Annette Hinds

    Annette's story will inspire. She's had a full life, split into three parts. From compliance and compromised to, retraining and breaking through as Lawyer. Not an easy journey by any stretch and now acting, singing and fully participating in a life that she didn't dare to dream she could have. She made it all happen. I love being around Annette and it was an honour to listen to her full life story. Her zest for life and love of people shines through and is totally infectious.
