    Could This One Habit Change the Trajectory of Your Life?

    I believe that visualisation change the trajectory of my life. Could it change the trajectory of yours?  In this episode of The Live More Experiment, I speak with Sarra Bejaoui co-founder of the hugely successful SmartPA who went from receptionist to CEO in the very office where she started her career. Her secret? Visualisation. Not just once, or for the 'big stuff,' but as a tiny habit week in and week out (well, on the good weeks). We dive into how visualisation really works, why it’s more practical than woo-woo, and what happens when we don’t use it. It’s an honest, energising, and refreshingly real conversation about the small mental shifts that can lead to massive life changes.  Enjoyed today’s episode?

    Could the Right Affirmation Change Your Life?

    What if just a few words could shift your whole perspective? In this episode of The Live More Experiment, I’m diving into the power of affirmations — the kind that actually work. I’m sharing the one I come back to again and again (especially when my inner critic kicks off), how I use affirmations with clients in real life, and a simple exercise to help you find one that feels true for you. Then, I’m joined by the brilliant Jo Moseley, who shares how affirmations helped her navigate big changes and build a brand new chapter of her life at 60. If you’ve ever wondered whether affirmations are more than just wishful thinking — this is the episode for you.
