    Ep2. "You Were Never Broken", Ed Lester on Awakening, Alignment & the Quiet Power of Coaching.

    5 Highlights from the PodcastIn this powerful and deeply reflective episode, Samantha Hannah sits down with Ed Lester, founder of NZ Life Coaching and one of the early pioneers of the coaching profession in Aotearoa. With over 40 years of learning, teaching, and guiding change-makers, Ed shares timeless wisdom about mastery, uniqueness, and why coaching has the power to shape the future quietly. Ed didn’t plan a career in coaching. His journey began with a single, life-changing experience that opened his awareness to what was possible beyond conditioning. That awakening led him into hypnotherapy, NLP, and eventually coaching — driven by curiosity rather than career strategy.At the heart of Ed’s philosophy is a powerful truth — people don’t need fixing. They need to be remembered. Coaching, for Ed, is about reconnecting people with who they already are, rather than repairing what they think is wrong.Ed teaches that each person carries a unique inner design — a source code that determines how they learn, lead, create, and thrive. When people live out of alignment with that code, life feels heavy. When they align with it, clarity, flow, and impact naturally follow.Despite decades in the industry, Ed rejects the idea that mastery means having all the answers. True mastery, he believes, is humility, curiosity, and a willingness to remain a student. Each level of growth is not an endpoint, but a new beginning.Ed reminds us that coaching is one of the most powerful leverage points for change. The shifts created in one person ripple outward — into families, workplaces, communities, and future generations. Coaches don’t just change lives; they quietly shape the world.

    Ep1. From Surviving to Self-Led: Jo Green on Inner Freedom, IFS & the Courage to Truly Thrive

    Becoming an ANZCAL accredited coach is about more than a credential; it’s a commitment to excellence, growth, and meaningful connection. It’s for coaches who are curious, who continuously refine their skills, who care deeply about how they hold space, and who value being part of a supportive, professional coaching community. If you’re ready to grow with integrity, deepen your impact, and step confidently into the coach you’re capable of becoming, contact ANZCAL today at www.anzcal.org. We’d love to help you reach your potential. Follow us: Facebook | Instagram 5 Highlights from the PodcastIn this deeply insightful and heartfelt conversation, Jo Green, Master Coach, hypnotherapist, and IFS practitioner, shares her personal journey into coaching and the powerful philosophy that underpins her work today. Jo speaks candidly about anxiety, nervous system regulation, inner freedom, and why coaching — when done with curiosity and compassion — can be truly life-changing. Jo’s journey began through her own lived experience of anxiety, depression, and feeling disconnected, despite living what looked like a “dream life” from the outside. Her personal healing became the catalyst for her work as a coach.Through corporate coaching roles, life and health coaching, hypnotherapy, and eventually Internal Family Systems (IFS), Jo shifted from a life driven by fear and survival into one grounded in balance, self-trust, and authenticity.One of Jo’s core beliefs and lived truths is that clients already hold their own answers. Coaching, for Jo, is about walking alongside people and helping them reconnect to their inner wisdom, not fixing or rescuing.Jo beautifully explains IFS as a way of understanding and working with the different “parts” of ourselves, with the reminder that there are no bad parts. Through curiosity and compassion, we can move from being parts-led to self-led.Mastery, for Jo, is not an endpoint; it’s an ongoing commitment to learning, self-reflection, and alignment. She encourages coaches to define success on their own terms, rather than chasing hustle culture or comparison. This episode is a powerful reminder that coaching is not just about techniques, it’s about embodiment, inner freedom, and the courage to truly know yourself.
