    48. She Was Offered $120k, 3 Days a Week , And Still Said No. Here's What Changed Everything...

    What do you do when you've been offered everything you thought you wanted, and your gut still screams no? Mara Riopel was a commission saleswoman making six figures before 30, following in her dad's footsteps, doing the thing she was "supposed" to do. She left. Went back. Was offered a management role, 120k, three days a week, full flexibility. And still, couldn't shake the feeling that something was deeply wrong. In this episode, Mara shares the moment a psychologist stopped her mid-session and said: "I've circled the word 'should' thirteen times and I've stopped counting." That one session became the foundation of her entire coaching method. We also get into the moment Mara found out her five-year-old son had brain cancer, and how, walking down a hospital corridor, she heard something that changed the way she runs her business and her life. This is one of those conversations that hits differently. We talk about: — Why getting whacked down every time you pop up with a bold idea isn't just something that happens to you, it's something you eventually start doing to yourself — The "I want vs I should" exercise that works at every stage of business (and why it's the first thing Mara does with every single client) — Why the strategy is actually the easy part, and what's really stopping you from executing it — What it means to build a business that lights you up so much, you can't believe you get paid for it If you've been flipping between strategies wondering why nothing's sticking, this episode is going to land differently than you expect.

    43. Severely bullied, anorexia, depression and now a chronic illness that has forced her out the UK to seek out the perfect climate that will ensure Rachael avoids another round of hospitalisation

    At the age of just 14, Rachael suffered with a severe panic attack after a bullying incident that resulted in hypoxia, which then turned into anorexia. This was the start of the spiraling decline in Rachael's physical and mental health. She had reached out for help at 16 but was refused as her BMI wasn't identified as reading low enough... 20 years later, Rachael now lives in a bubble in Gran Canaria after being told that the only remedy to one of her chronic illnesses was a warmer climate. This is a story of pain, of not belonging and of being failed by her very own country when she needed them the most. Rachael has since written two books and advocates for people with mental health issues and chronic illnesses. And against all odds, she was told that she would be in a wheelchair by the age of 30, she's now 34, wait until you hear what her f*ck yes moment is right now. It really did make my heart sing for her. Follow Rachael on Facebook here. Or connect on Instagram here.
