    From Grief to Joy: How Crystals Changed Everything for Mart Tweedy (& Me too)

    Ten years ago, if you’d handed me a crystal and told me it could change my life, I’d have laughed you out of the room. So how did I end up with rose quartz on my desk, citrine in my pocket and a pouch of stones getting me pulled aside at airport security on my way home from Tanzania? This week I’m continuing my Guests & Gurus series, and I’m thrilled to welcome my very first male guest to The Joy Broadcast: Mart Tweedy, founder of Canny Crystals. Crystals were one of the very first doors I walked through when I followed my curiosity into the spiritual world, so this conversation feels like coming full circle. Mart’s story is one of the most moving I’ve heard. A boy who grew up with no money but so much love. A mental health worker in the NHS, £30,000 in debt. A Tipping Point win of exactly the £3,500 he’d been visualising in the bath (seagull sounds and all). And then, at the very height of everything going right, the loss of his granddad, the man who raised him. From that grief came a £10 parcel of crystals, a new life, and a business named after his granddad’s Geordie saying: “Gan canny, son.” Five years on, Canny Crystals has over 100,000 followers, a chart-topping spirituality podcast, 60,000 orders and counting, an academy, and Manifest, the North’s biggest manifestation event. In this episode we talk about: Airport security, crystals in bras, and the day Google autocorrected “crystals” to something very different in front of Spanish customsMart’s first experiment with manifestation after reading The Secret, and the Tipping Point win that followedVisualising himself on the sofa with Alison Hammond, and how she turned up on her day offLosing his granddad, the darkest months of his life, and the first five crystals that helped him throughHow crystals actually work: energy, vibration, intention, and why talking to your crystals isn’t as mad as it soundsThe best crystals for overwhelm when your head is too full (amethyst and howlite)Why “which crystal should I buy?” is like walking into Tesco and saying “I’m hungry”Smart Mart, the AI version of Mart trained on everything he’s ever createdUsing crystals with children, and the amethyst geode that finally got his newborn sleepingMoldavite: the “scary” crystal, the viral TikTok, the 50+ Canny Crystals babies, and the story of Jacob, his Moldavite babyHow to start working with your very first crystal, todayManifest 2027 and the dream of a spiritual Glastonbury (cows included)Mart’s simple starter practice: Pick one small tumble stone. Know what it’s for. Each morning, hold it, close your eyes, smile and say: “Come on then, show me how good today can get.” That’s it. Start small. Notice what shifts. Crystals mentioned: Rose quartz (self-worth and heart healing), citrine (joy and abundance), green aventurine (health and wellbeing), black tourmaline (protection), amethyst (calm and intuition), howlite (stress and anxiety), pyrite (money), moldavite (transformation), plus my airport pouch of obsidian, labradorite, selenite, moonstone and jasper.

    Pick a Card, Find Your JOY: Tarot for Beginners and Sceptics with Kate May

    Do you tarot?  Have you got an Oracle deck? or are you a full cynic like I once was?!   Perhaps you pulled a card and felt it was speaking directly to you? Back in 2016, in the deepest, darkest depression of my life, I found myself on retreat here in Yorkshire, picking a card from the little deck on the entrance desk every single visit. And every single time, it felt like exactly what I needed to hear. This is the second episode in my series on the spiritual practices that helped me find my way back to joy, and I am delighted to welcome Kate May, The Modern Day Mystic, to the Joy Broadcast. Kate has been reading tarot professionally for around 20 years. Her story begins with free cards from a magazine, a teenage summer job printing astrology reports at the end of a pier, and a palm reader who told her she would marry twice and work in America. Thirty years later, she discovered that same palm reader was about to become her mother-in-law. Goosebumps! Key takeaway: Take time out to reflect, but keep one eye open for the opportunity floating in on the wind. Step into your power, get seen, and remember there is still time to make the magic happen this year. Whether you are a curious beginner, a cynic (like I was ten years ago!), or already have a deck on your bedside table, this episode is an invitation to reconnect with your intuition and feel good doing it. After all, that’s the aim of the game.

    JOY & Manifesting with Victoria Jackson

    Welcome to the very first episode of a brand new series on The Joy Broadcast! After celebrating 100 episodes, I wanted to do something different. This series brings together a collective of incredible people whose work and modalities have helped me on my own journey back to joy. Manifestation. Visualisation. Energy work. Sound healing. All the things the corporate version of me would have rolled her eyes at a decade ago. Each episode, you’ll meet one of the teachers who showed up exactly when I needed them, and you’ll hear how their tools could help you too. And who better to open the series than the woman who gave me one of the most powerful experiences of my life? At Manifest in 2025, Victoria Jackson guided a room full of us through a visualisation that brought me to ugly, glorious tears. I saw the beach house. The curtains blowing in the wind. My husband surrounded by our grandchildren. A wall of photographs from a life well lived. It wasn’t a daydream. It felt like a memory of my future. Victoria was once the biggest cynic. A menswear magazine editor travelling the world, meeting Vivienne Westwood and Tom Ford, invited to Downing Street, and deeply unhappy. Crying on the M62, hair falling out, heart racing. When a friend suggested The Secret, she thought it was absolute rubbish. Then something clicked. Gratitude. A pink feather in an envelope. £125, to the exact pound. And the morning she told her colleagues she’d manifested her way out of her job, the whole department was made redundant by lunchtime. Today, Victoria is the founder of The Manifestation Collective, an author of three books, and a self-confessed “slow manifester”. Together we explore why detachment speeds things up, why you must become the person who can hold the magic rather than simply receive it, and how visualisation works as a dress rehearsal for who you’re becoming. Cynic or believer, this one is for you. In this episode we explore Why gratitude is the foundation of all joy, and how it shifted everything on Victoria’s daily commuteThe pink feather, the £125 and the redundancy: what rapid manifestation taught her about detachmentBeing a “slow manifester” and the four year journey from Instagram story to speaking at Happy Place FestivalWhy you need to become the person who holds the magic, the money and the loveThe microwave generation: chasing the feeling rather than the thingThe biggest blocks to manifestation: fear of failure, worthiness and money that never feels safe to keepVisualisation as dress rehearsal, and why athletes use it to winSelf-concept work for health and money, including the dream weight on the scalesVictoria’s Human Design as a 3/5 Manifestor and why she needed the scienceRomanticising your life: the five star turndown service you can give yourself tonightConnect with Victoria The Manifestation Collective websiteInstagram: @themanifestationcollectiveThe Manifestation Collective podcastThe Manifestation Collective MembershipConnect with Ali Instagram: @alimortimer_thejoycoachThe Joy Brief weekly newsletter, quick links and weekly offersSubstack: Brilliant Women Breaking RulesThe Joy Shop with me!https://www.alimortimer.com/

    Joy 101: My Three Rampages for JOY!

    Welcome to episode 101, and what better way to celebrate than going back to Joy 101? In this short, sharp episode, Ali shares three of her favourite joy tools. These are the ones she reaches for herself and uses with her Brilliance clients and Joy Rebels whenever life delivers a plot twist, a sticky season, a power pivot, or a detour down the rabbit hole on the way to purpose. Each one is a "rampage": a stream of consciousness you can speak out loud in the car, voice note on a dog walk, or scribble in your journal. Use them one at a time or all three together. Rampage 1: The Gratitude Rampage (to lift your mood) Ali opens up about how a gratitude practice, first given to her by a grief counsellor, carried her through some of the hardest moments of her life, and how even on the night before her mum died, she could still find something to be thankful for. She shares the gratitude insight from Rhonda Byrne's The Magic, Brené Brown's research showing that it's the gratitude practice that brings joy (not the other way round), and why saying thank you out loud tells the universe you're open to receiving more. Rampage 2: The Shit-Shifting Rampage Release (when you feel heavy and stuck) For when every door seems to close, it's all taking too long, and it simply isn't fair. Ali invites you to get your Marigolds on, let your inner toddler or teenager have their moment, and write (or shout) your unfiltered letter to the universe. Inspired by the stream-of-consciousness approach in Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way, this is about getting the heaviness out so it stops weighing you down. Rampage 3: The Casting Spells Rampage (to vision your future) If you can connect the dots looking back, why not cast them forward? Ali shares the story of how one chance seat in a university dining room led to a ski trip and, eventually, to James. She explains how to playfully imagine the many wild and wonderful routes your desires could arrive by, and why this lifts you into joy, the frequency of the super attractor. Also in this episode: Why you should absolutely get your hopes up, and how a client's rampage was followed by a mind-blowing breakthrough the very next dayThe coach's challenge: write 50 ways you could receive the thing you wantWhy grown women can handle a little disappointment, and how fearing it closes the door on everything else that's possibleYour invitation this week: Pick the rampage you need most right now and try it on your next drive or walk. Ali would love to hear how it goes. This episode contains strong language and discusses baby loss and bereavement. Please look after yourself while listening.

    Silly me, thinking 100 JOY episodes wasn't enough!

    In this very special milestone episode of The Joy Broadcast, Ali shares the funny story of how she discovered she'd reached episode 100 (spoiler: Buzzsprout didn't tell her). It happened on a Monday afternoon when that familiar inner voice was loudly insisting she hadn't done enough, wasn't far enough along, and should be doing more. Ali takes you inside her "Just On You" moment, the powerful reframe her mentor offered, and the simple look-back exercise that turned shame into pride. She also reveals how a voice that once felt like a stick to beat herself with became something far lighter and far more magical: her Joy Fairy, complete with bliss bubble and wand. If you're an ambitious woman who always sees the gap between where you are and where you want to be, this one is for you. In this episode: Why Ali's "you haven't done enough" voice gets so loud, and how she now recognises it rather than letting it run the showUsing JOY (Just On You) to pause, ask how you're feeling, and decide what you needThe look-back exercise: listing everything you've done since this time last year across self-care, home, family, friends, career and adventuresAli's own list, from getting two sons through A levels and a hundred-plus holiday bookings, to growing her Instagram community by 800%, writing her book  CALM, 60 Substack essays, speaking to over 600 people, opening The Joy Rebellion and walking alongside 17 brilliant women in private mentorship.Why joy is the fuel, the frequency of peak performance and your competitive edgeThe Joy Fairy question: one more sprinkle of joy, or "don't meddle with the joy magic"?Two exercises to take away: Look back to leap forward. Sit down and write out everything you've achieved since this time last year. Get the facts. You'll be amazed.Swap the stick for a wand. When the "not enough" voice appears, recognise it as your superpower in disguise. Ask your inner 'Joy Fairy': is there a little more magic to sprinkle today, or is it time to let the joy do its thing?Get your free copy of CALM: Sign up to The Joy Brief, the weekly edit for women who know that joy is the most powerful place to create from, and receive Ali's first book, CALM, free in your welcome email. Share your wins: What have you achieved this year? Ali would love to hear. Send her a message or tag her on Instagram with your look-back list. Thank you to every listener, every guest, and everyone who has shared, commented and helped the ripple of joy reach the millions and the masses. See you next week for Joy 101!

    JoY Nesting & My Tanzania 'Hell Yes'

    What if the empty nest wasn't empty at all? In this episode, recorded on the autumn equinox, Ali floats a new phrase she wants to become a household term: joy nesting, the new empty nesting. With her eldest just off to university, Ali shares how she has turned fear into joy, and why this matters whether you're waving off children or letting go of a business or career you've built for years. She walks through the three Ps that so often hold the fear: the people (who am I with now?), the purpose (what do I do with all this time and headspace?) and the person (who am I now?), and how they tie back to her 'who, do and you' framework. Ali talks about some of the very relevant conversations around fear and reconnecting with your partner, redefining success for this era, using your values as a lens for big decisions, and creating a joyful nest your children will want to come home to, both physically and energetically. She also shares the story behind her own joy nesting initiation: a hell yes to travelling to Tanzania with The Lyra Walk, walking alongside girls on their long journey to school, and how she tested that decision against her values of grit, growth, gratitude, grace, genuine and generosity.

    The JOY of Food, Hormones & Falling Back in Love With Your Plate with Kimberly Parsons

    This week I'm joined by the wonderful Kimberly Parsons, naturopath, author of The Yoga Kitchen cookbooks (has been one of my favourites for over a decade!), and founder of Naturalli, the app helping women eat in sync with their hormones. If you've ever felt afraid of food, confused by conflicting advice, or just exhausted by trying to figure out what your body actually needs,  this episode is for you. Kimberly and I talk about her journey from a childhood spent in her nonna's Italian kitchen garden in Melbourne, to an accidental career as a private chef in the Alps, to building a business dedicated to helping women understand the deep, beautiful link between food, joy, and hormonal health. In this episode Kimberly's story: growing up surrounded by food in an Italian household, and the winding path from naturopathy to private cheffing to hormone healthWhy food has always been Kimberly's "home for joy" — and how it can be yours tooWhat "whole food" really means, and why we've overcomplicated something so simpleA crash course in naturopathy — treating the whole body as an interconnected system, not a set of separate symptomsWhy so many women fear food, and how to rebuild a relationship with eating that feels like pleasure instead of punishmentRaising kids who aren't picky eaters — Kimberly's approach to feeding her own family whole, unprocessed foodThe hormone hierarchy: how insulin and cortisol quietly run the show for estrogen and progesteroneWhy your first and second cycle halves need completely different plates (and what to eat when)How to eat with your hormones in mind even if you're not currently cycling — using the moon as your guideBrain fog, big decisions, and why perimenopause hits women at the exact moment life demands the most from themInside the Naturally app — how it takes the guesswork out of eating for your hormones, day by dayWhy women are so wildly different from men, biologically — and why that's something to celebrate, not fight againstKimberly's mission, in her own words: every woman should be able to advocate for herself and make empowered, informed decisions about her hormones  but she can't do that without the education most of us were never given.
