Get Ready to Rise Get Ready to Rise hosted by The Confidence Mentors, Sara Noel & Natasha Holland

Jess Roper (officially Jessica Fleischer) is a 2x English kickboxing champion, a 2nd degree blackbelt, and the founder of ‘I am Fighting Fit’.

Jess grew up with both parents addicted to drugs and alcohol, she lost her first 5 fights before getting a win, and, after becoming a champion in the ring, struggled with establishing a business through a global pandemic! She follows the advice that she shares in schools across the country though, of ‘Dream big, start small, and never give up’.

Inspired by her mum, who began kickboxing at the age of 52 and was incapable of kicking above the knee, Jess has created an online community called ‘Fighting Fit Together’, with the mission ‘to make martial arts, and specifically kickboxing, accessible for all’ and focuses on fitness and FUN!

Passionate about personal development, health, wellbeing, and increasing confidence, Jess has a lot more to offer in the future… but first she has her sights set on competing in The World Kickboxing Championships in the summer of 2022, so this is her focus, for now!

Follow Jess, and join her on this exciting journey:

It was an absolute pleasure to interview Lizzie Hannington for this episode.

Lizzie is a Mindset Coach helping women to connect with the reasons beneath their negative self-talk and supporting them to dissolve that outdated, unhealthy emotional programming. With her clients, she builds an evidence-based belief that they are 100% enough and worthy of the love they receive, therefore enabling them to step into the life they have always wanted to live with clarity, courage and freedom. Having experienced crippling negative self-talk, depression and anxiety for 25 years, Lizzie knows only too well how debilitating it is, equally, she is fully aware of the freedom gained from releasing that inner critic.

In this episode, Sara & Natasha talk to Julia Murray.

Julia is an award-winning therapist. She founded My Retreat in 2014 providing luxury spa and complementary therapies from her home in Cullercoats, on the North-East coast of England. She has built a reputation for 5-star attention to detail, impeccable quality of treatment and service, and creativity in her approach.

Julia was previously a professional dancer and choreographer. Her understanding of the body and movement give her massages a perceptiveness and flow that is difficult to find elsewhere. Her therapies are unique in their creativity, often drawing on art, literature, music and so on for inspiration.

As a result of her own personal journey, Julia has now trained as a meditation teacher and Transformational Life Coach, which has led to the creation of My Retreat Life, a self-care and self-development program and community. This is the yang to the yin of the relaxing therapies at My Retreat.

It’s about guiding you to take better care of yourself in mind, body and soul. It’s about noticing and connecting to your feelings and thought patterns so that you can challenge and change them. Ultimately, it’s about creating a life in which you are truly happy and fulfilled.

Nikki is a mother of four, a writer, a photographer, a reiki practitioner and most importantly the master of her trauma.  She is also the owner of The Peacelily Practice. She always felt she was a spiritual healer, but this is something she took time to navigate into. Stepping into her truth and empowering herself after a life of trauma has been by her own admission, tough. Nikki is dedicated to helping other women step into their power too. 

Lucy Cuzzocrea  - Founder of Wild Roots Foraging

https://www.facebook.com/groups/WildRootsWildWomen 

Lucy runs Wild Roots Foraging - where she leads foraging walks both locally and online.  From this, Wild Roots Wild Women was born. A group created to inspire women to connect to their wild roots and their inner wild woman, in order to find healing, peace,  connection, and growth.  Lucy wanted to do something that helps women find their power and inner light and so once I found my own inner wild woman, I realised how important it was for other women to find this, too. And Wild Roots Wild Women was born.  She mainly teaches how to forage wild edible, how to process and cook with them, the herbal wisdom and magic that naturally comes with foraging and the history of our ancestors and how they used them. She also leads nature walks, meditation, forest bathing, and all-round nature therapy. That simply looks like women getting outside
