Heads Together Gill Moakes

Meet Alicia Rodriguez, my client, collaborator and friend. Alicia is one of those women who, if you're lucky enough, you'll have in your inner circle. She's wise, intuitive, kind, funny and utterly inspirational - and now I get to share her story with you.

Her memoire, The Shaman's Wife is available to pre-order now, and will be widely published in September.

In this exclusive interview series for Heads Together, Alicia shares some background that led to the writing of this incredible book, and also offers even more insight into the lessons we can take for ourselves from her experiences.

As Alicia said to me: "I know so many women who have given away their power, often not realizing that they were surrendering their agency to someone else in the name of love. These women are successful and confident, yet something happens, and suddenly, a piece of their life is missing, and they don't know how to recover it. There's fear, shame, and embarrassment at being discovered."

Alicia's been there. And she reclaimed her life using the wisdom she gained from shamanism, the very tradition that sought to capture her.

This is a story of courage, resilience, and transformation that can be applied to your life. It's a story of forgiveness and the power of Universal Love.

It's a story she had to share.

"This is the story of the road I had to travel to discover who I really was. If it saves one person or impacts someone who needs to reclaim their life, then all the hard work and sacrifice will be worth it. Writing this book has changed my life. Perhaps reading it will change yours."

Welcome to the Head's Together Podcast. In this week's episode, I'm joined by the wonderful Sarah Farley. Sarah shares her journey from working in customer service to running a dive shop in the Caribbean and discovering her love for writing.

Sarah realised that she was a writer through her work in the business - writing website content, customer communications, newsletters and a blog. She pursued a master's degree in professional writing and felt empowered to call herself a writer.

Sarah shares her journey as a brand writer and the inspiration behind The Writer's Walk, a newsletter that combines walking and writing prompts. She discusses the importance of speaking the language of your customers and the authenticity of brand voice.

Sarah emphasises the value of customer service and listening to the people behind a business to create a genuine brand tone of voice. The Writer's Walk aims to help writers and walkers observe their surroundings and spark creativity through focused attention and writing prompts.

Welcome back to the Heads Together podcast, I’m thrilled to have you join me again. This past week I've been enjoying the beautiful weather and spending a lot of time outside. I found an amazing little writing spot at a bird hide on Abberton Reservoir in Essex. It's so peaceful and perfect for sparking creativity.

This week I talk about the power of solo work. Running a business as a female founder is no small feat, and it’s easy to get lost in the noise of external opinions and validation.

I also talk about how important it is to schedule solo work time by keeping certain days free from client appointments. Create a special space, like my bird hide, for uninterrupted focus. Journaling can help process thoughts and ideas. If mindfulness practices like meditation don’t work for you, simply enjoy input free time.

Consider taking a solo retreat. “Rewild Your Business" is a perfect example, offering a guided, digital retreat to help you reconnect with what matters in your business. Check out rewildyourbusiness.com, register your interest, and I will keep you posted and let you know when you can sign up for the retreat. 

Enjoy some quiet time this week. Remember, the most important voice to listen to is your own. 

Welcome to the Head's Together Podcast. In this week's episode, I sit down with Julia Darlington, a confident leadership coach with a fascinating journey from the fashion industry to coaching and consulting.

We discuss the importance of self leadership and taking 100% responsibility for one's life. Julia explains how unlocking the unconscious mind can open up a world of possibilities and how crucial it is for leaders to develop their own identity. She emphasises the role of confidence in leadership and how understanding oneself can lead to more effective leadership of others. Julia also highlights the significance of personal branding for leaders and the impact they want to have on others.

Tune in to hear Julia’s inspiring journey and her valuable advice on leadership, self-awareness, and the power of coaching. Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just starting out, this episode is full of wisdom and practical tips for personal and professional growth.
