    Nicole Palker-Dorio: What Comes After You’ve Done the Work?

    What happens when you’ve done years of inner work, and more work stops being the answer? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I’m joined by Nicole Palker-Dorio, Integrative Trauma Specialist, Somatic Practitioner and Embodied Transformation Coach. Nicole works with people who’ve already done a lot of work on themselves. They understand the concepts. They know their parts. They’ve filled the notebooks. And yet something still feels contracted. Nicole calls herself an internal matchmaker and a master storyteller. Her work helps people introduce themselves back to themselves, so everything they’ve learned can finally show up in real life. She shares the most beautiful story about taking rescue ponies to the beach for the very first time. One of them walked straight into the sea, swam, then dropped down and rolled in the sand like a dog, having the best day ever. Meanwhile Nicole stood watching, running through her trauma-informed checklist, and noticed how much of her own joy was being filtered through old stories. It’s a moment that will stay with you. In this episode we explore ➤ Why more work isn’t always the answer, and how it can quietly become another place your story gets contracted ➤ What a pony on a beach can teach us about pure joy, experienced without layers of story ➤ Why you don’t have to be 100% healed to be whole, and why waiting for some future version of yourself keeps you from living now ➤ How trauma can hone your intuition, and what it means to embrace the whole of who you are ➤ Equine-assisted learning and the new healing paradigm, where space is created for experience rather than more analysis This episode is for you if you’ve done the healing, read the books and know the theory, and you’re ready to actually feel your life again.

    Serene Grace: Finding Your Divine Spark After a Spiritual Awakening

    What if every career you’ve had was quietly preparing you for the one your soul has been asking for? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I’m joined by Serene Grace, Transformation-Intuitive Life Coach, Writer, Editor and Broadcasting Professional, and founder of Shining Bright with Serene Grace. Serene helps people reconnect with their inner strength, their self-worth and what she calls their divine spark. Her path here was anything but a straight line. Two degrees. Nearly 10 years in law firms and the state judiciary. A decade as a federal employee in Washington, D.C. Twenty-five years of event coordinating alongside it all. Then, at 25, a spiritual awakening shook everything up. Serene shares how she built a practical transition plan while still in her government job, why the “gremlins” of fear and other people’s opinions keep so many of us stuck, and why a detour is never wasted. She also talks about the little girl who told the universe she’d be a teacher one day, without knowing what kind. In this episode we explore: ➤ How every career builds the next one, and why your past skills are often the foundation for what you’re meant to do now ➤ Creating a transition plan without all the answers, and the mix of structure and faith that lets the universe open up ➤ Quieting the gremlins, the fears and insecurities that stop inspiration turning into action ➤ Why detours aren’t failures, and how you come back stronger from them This episode is for you if you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling the pull towards something new, and you need reminding that you already have the strength to get there.

    Dr Olga Morton: Why Your Menopause Doesn’t Need Fixing

    What if menopause isn’t a loss to manage, but a new chapter with a lot to gain? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I’m joined by Dr Olga Morton, GP and Founder of Menopause with (Life)Style. With over 15 years in medicine across NHS and private practice, and training in lifestyle medicine, Olga helps women navigate perimenopause and menopause with more confidence and less fear, with or without medication. As a GP, Olga kept hearing the same question. “I’m on HRT. So why do I still have brain fog? Why am I still anxious and exhausted?” The only other tool in her kit was SSRIs. And women kept telling her, “But I’m not depressed.” She knew they weren’t. Then, at 46, she woke up drenched in night sweats and wondered if something was seriously wrong. Even with all her medical training, it took a few days to realise this was her own perimenopause beginning. That moment changed how she saw everything. Olga shares her Triple A approach, why women don’t need more information or more tracking data, and a moment at a Glasgow talk with two 18-year-olds that still moves her. 😊 In this episode we explore: ➤ Why HRT doesn’t resolve every symptom, and what’s often missing for women still struggling with brain fog, anxiety and fatigue ➤ The Triple A approach, assess, address, achieve, and why it looks different for every woman ➤ The hidden role of endocrine disruptors, and why forever chemicals are finally part of the menopause conversation ➤ Why more data can mean more overwhelm, and how a simple roadmap helps women make their own informed choices ➤ Reframing menopause from deficiency to opportunity, and why self-care is selfless This episode is for you if you’re in perimenopause or menopause, feeling unlike yourself, and ready for an approach that treats you as a whole person.

    Celia Griver: Why Imagination Is Your Most Powerful Tool for Change

    What if the habits you keep trying to stop were never really the problem? I'm joined by Celia Griver, Hypnotherapist and Founder of Blossom Hypnotherapy. Celia helps adults and teenagers weighed down by worry and exhausted by anxiety and overwhelm to become calm, confident and courageous, so they can embrace life again at home, at work, as parents and in their relationships. She's been doing this work for more than ten years. Her path began long before that, with a driving test she kept failing. Until she tried hypnosis, and passed 😊 Years later, working in the NHS, she noticed something. Her clients made great progress while they worked together. Then, once sessions ended, they'd slide backwards. Her research kept pointing to the same answer. Celia also shares why she believes we're raising a very anxious generation, and why so many of us live in a society that simply doesn't fit the way our brains developed. Her work goes underneath the surface. Because the behaviour you can see is rarely what needs to change. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why imagination is our most powerful tool, and how hypnosis lets you glimpse a version of yourself beyond the anxiety ➤ Food, eating and comfort, and why working on the eating behaviour alone so often misses what's driving it ➤ The habits that quietly keep anxiety going, from body scanning to late-night scrolling and exhaustion ➤ Why teenagers are struggling right now, and how Celia supports both teens and their parents ➤ Life after weight loss medication, and the new research Celia is exploring around GLP-1s This episode is for you if worry and overwhelm have started to shrink your life, and you're ready to believe that change is possible at any age. Take part in Celia's researchIf you're on a GLP-1 or other weight loss medication and don't want to stay on it for life, Celia would love to hear from you.Book a research call: blossomhypnotherapy.setmore.com/celia Connect with Celia GriverWebsite: blossomhypnotherapy.comLinkedIn: Celia GriverInstagram: @celiagriverblossomhypnotherapyFacebook: Blossom Hypnotherapy Connect with Joanna IngramWebsite: joannaingram.comInstagram: @iamjo.ingramLinkedIn: Joanna Ingram Podcast Guest Clarity Call: Love being heard at depth?

    Nicky Price: Why Your Self-Sabotage Is Really Self-Protection

    What if the patterns you've been fighting for years were only ever trying to keep you safe? I'm joined by Nicky Price, Advanced Transformation Therapist, Coach, Co-Author and Speaker. Nicky helps ambitious women around the world break free from the hidden patterns quietly sabotaging their income, growth and relationships. Imposter syndrome. Overworking. Visibility fears. Money blocks. She spent 27 years in corporate IT. In her words, she didn't have a woo-woo bone in her body. Then, at 50, she started to feel deeply misaligned. What followed was a messy middle. And out of it came a question from Marisa Peer that changed everything. Would you like to change people's lives? Nicky has lived every pattern she now helps women release. Perfectionism and overworking can be quietly rewarded in corporate life. Bring them into your own business, and suddenly they work against you 😳 Her work goes to the root cause. Because the problem you can see is rarely the one that needs healing. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why most blocks aren't a strategy problem, and what happens when your nervous system doesn't feel safe with success ➤ The seven archetypes Nicky sees in women in business, from the over-giver to the woman who feels invisible ➤ Patterns as protection, and how they form in our programming years, from birth to seven ➤ The TRUTH Framework, Nicky's five-step process through awareness, root cause, understanding, somatic release and hypnosis ➤ Why you can't think your way out, and the mind, body and energy shift that creates lasting change This episode is for you if you've done the courses, learned the strategies, and still keep hitting the same ceiling.

    Nathalie Cordell: Everything You're Seeking Is Already Within You

    What if you've done all the personal development, ticked every box, and still feel a longing for something more? I'm joined by Nathalie Cordell, Accredited Psycho-Spiritual Coach, Leadership Coach, writer of Soul Seeds on Substack and Author of Awakening the Sleeping Queen. After 20 years climbing the corporate ladder in pharma, Nathalie got tired of climbing and decided to see if she could fly instead. She retrained, earning an MA in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching, which she describes as a psychology of hope. Now she helps women reconnect with their inner authority, that voice of wisdom within. Nathalie's turning point came in the year of her 40th birthday. A tough year that made her question everything, and a moment with a wonderful boss that changed the direction of her life. She thought she was a deep thinker who could figure it all out alone. What she discovered was that she was overanalysing. It's really hard to see the picture when you're the one in the frame 😌 Her move into coaching looks like a giant leap on paper. In reality, it was a thousand little steps. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why high achievers still feel a longing for more, even after doing all the inner work ➤ Personal development as a quiet addiction, and what happens when we stop looking outside for answers ➤ The power of slowing right down, so you can finally hear yourself think ➤ Why resonance matters more than modality, and how clients choose the guide who feels safe ➤ Following little nudges, from a corporate career to writing a book she never expected to write This episode is for you if you've achieved a lot, still sense there's more, and you're ready to listen to the whispers of your heart beneath all the noise.

    Edyta Lesiewicz: Divorce, Feminine Energy and Reclaiming Your Power

    What if the thing holding back the people you love is quietly coming from you? I'm joined by Edyta Lesiewicz, Divorce and Relationship Coach, Weaponised Children Specialist and Founder of Queen Awaken Academy. Edyta helps women over 40 move through divorce and relationship crisis with feminine energy, inner healing, and strategic legal and financial guidance. She came to this work through her own marriage crisis. Before that, she spent much of her life as an architect. Logical. Detail-driven. Brilliant with numbers. And completely exhausted. Working full-time, then coming home to run the house and the children, she started to believe something was wrong with her. What she discovered instead was that women have a rhythm of their own, and most of us were taught to ignore it. Edyta also shares a moment at the Alexandra Palace ice rink with her daughters that changed how she sees leadership, motherhood and relationships 😳 In this episode we explore: ➤ The question every woman in crisis asks, "shall I stay or shall I go?", and why transformation matters more than trying to fix ➤ Why your relationship patterns start with your mum, and the generations of expectations passed down before her ➤ The invisible cap, and how our own thoughts can limit our children, partners and teams ➤ Home and house as feminine and masculine energy, and why one can't exist without the other ➤ Money, self-worth and divorce, and why 50-50 doesn't always mean fair This episode is for you if you're over 40, questioning your relationship, and ready to stop proving yourself and start living in your own rhythm.

    Dr. Ann Marie Peters: Identity, Confidence and the Return to Work

    When did you last say "I'm just a stay-at-home mum"... or "just" anything at all? I'm joined by Dr. Ann Marie Peters, Executive Coach, Leadership Strategist, CEO of AMP Consulting and Author of We'll Be Right Back, a book for professional women returning to work after a career pause. Through her PhD research in Industrial and Organisational Psychology, Ann Marie listened to women in interviews and focus groups. What she heard went far beyond data. Identity loss. Grief. Isolation. A quiet slide in confidence that so few of us talk about. And something else too. Real joy when women were finally asked to tell the story of who they'd been and what they'd achieved 😊 Ann Marie knows this terrain personally. In 1995, expecting her first child, she negotiated a part-time, work-from-home role at HSBC, something almost unheard of at the time. Twelve years later, she stepped away completely for five years, then returned as an entrepreneur. Her message is simple and deeply moving. That experience is still in you. It hasn't gone anywhere. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why the word "just" is costing you, and how women quietly write off years of real experience ➤ The hidden skills of a career pause, from time management and mediation to running household finances and volunteering on boards ➤ The remembering process, and why looking back at who you were unlocks what comes next ➤ The feelings nobody talks about, including grief, isolation and identity loss, and the relief of realising you're not alone This episode is for you if you've stepped away from work, or simply feel that pull of "what's next?", and you're ready to see your own value clearly again.
