  1. The Joy of Reclaiming your Space with Steph McConachy

    5D AGO

    The Joy of Reclaiming your Space with Steph McConachy

    As part of our Easter inspiration series, celebrating women who inspire me and whose stories I know will inspire you, I'm joined by the wonderful Steph McConachy, founder of Nine Lemons Feng Shui. We met through the magic of Instagram and our mutual friend Kimberly Gallagher, and I have loved watching Steph's extraordinary journey unfold. In just three months, she grew her audience from 3,000 to 30,000 followers and she credits Feng Shui. This conversation is joyful, practical, and deeply moving. We talk about the power of your home to support your life, your business, and your healing, and how making small, intentional changes to your space can create profound shifts in everything from your visibility to your nervous system. What We Cover 🍋 Why nine lemons? The story behind the name, from the power of the number nine in Feng Shui (we're in Cycle Nine!) and a secret nod to Real Housewives, to the Susan Jeffers "nine grid" and why a full life is the ultimate insurance policy. 🗺️ The Bagua Map explained. The nine areas of your life mapped to your home: knowledge, career, helpful people, family, health, children and creativity, wealth, fame and reputation, and love. Steph walks us through how she reads a floor plan and what she can tell about someone's life just from where the bathrooms are. 📈 How Steph went from 3,000 to 30,000 followers in three months by intentionally activating the fame, visibility and recognition area of her home, cleaning the windows, replacing dull bulbs, placing a plant, and setting clear, specific intentions. 🌿 The power of intention setting. Why Feng Shui is not just putting lemons on a bench. How to speak to your home, talk to your plants, and use the nine areas as a 3D vision board for the life you want to create. 🏠 Your home holds energy. Steph shares her deeply personal story of losing her son, buying a house in grief, and eventually using Feng Shui to reclaim her space and move forward. This led to her brand new programme Reclaim Your Space, for anyone navigating a major life transition. 💼 The command position. Why where you sit at your desk matters more than you think, how cortisol levels drop when your back is against a wall, and why so many brilliant women are running seven-figure businesses from a corner of the spare room, shoved aside for a bed that gets used seven nights a year. 🌍 Finding peace when the world feels uncertain. Why your home is your greatest source of empowerment right now, and the small acts of care that bring you back to safety. Steph's Offers  Let It Go — a 7-day container to release "past self anchors" (not just decluttering, but energetically letting go) Reclaim Your Space — a brand new 4-week programme to shake the energy of your home through transition, grief, change, or a fresh start The Energetic Advantage — a 6-month deep dive (next round opening May)👁️ One-to-one work — private Feng Shui consultations, email me stephanie@ninelemonsfengshui.comFind Steph 📱 Instagram: @ninelemonsfengshui  www.ninelemonsfengshui.com Loved This Episode?

  2. From Cleaning Toilets to Florist to the Stars : The Joy of Vics Endersby

    From Cleaning Toilets to Florist to the Stars : The Joy of Vics Endersby

    This Easter, Ali wanted guests with real stories. not picture-perfect ones, but the kind with roller coasters, sharp turns, and joy found in the most unexpected places. Vics Endersby of Wonderland Blooms is exactly that. In this warm, funny, and genuinely inspiring conversation, Vicks takes us through the chapters of her life from the rug being pulled, to cleaning other people's bathrooms, to skydiving alone, to building a wedding floristry business she loves, working with Paula Rooney in Vienna and Italy, and raising a daughter who is already pitching her first wholesale deals at thirteen. This is a story about gut instinct, small daily joys, and what happens when you back yourself completely. What We Cover The rug pull. A decade ago, Vicks found herself cleaning toilets for a living, wondering how her comfortable, cottage-and-wood-burning-stove life had come undone. A marriage she thought was solid had quietly been heading elsewhere. When she found out, she did not wait. Scariest thing she had ever done. Most empowering thing she had ever done. The rebuilding. Single parenting, cleaning jobs, a bakery run by a woman in her sixties who became an unlikely mentor, and eventually a role at Pig and Pastry in York The sky stuff. Four solo skydiving jumps. Gliding lessons. A gyrocopter. All of it done alone, all of it in the period after her marriage ended. Her brain, she says, is quietest in freefall. Ali's theory: when you have already made the biggest leap of your life, throwing yourself out of a plane is just confirmation that you will always pull the chute. The flowers. Vicks had always wanted to be a florist.  It took a marriage, a rebuild, and a bolt-upright moment in bed next to her new husband Mark to say: I am starting a wedding floristry business from this garage. He said yes, dear.  The career that kept growing. From Friday flowers on a broken three-speed bike, Wonderland Blooms has grown into a full wedding floristry business. Vics has worked with florist-to-the-stars Paula Rooney in Vienna. She drove a van through Pisa on four hours' notice. She works alongside Kim at Dreambirds and Carousels on large-scale events.  The loss. Vicks lost her mum recently. She talks about grief with the same directness she brings to everything else  it strips layers, she says. She has no time for imposter syndrome anymore. Life is for living. The legacy. Vicks wants to write a book. A coffee table book, or something more, she is still deciding. She wants her children to know what those early Saturday mornings were for.  Joy, says Vicks, is in the small significant things, not the big dramatic ones. Her favourite colour grounds her on a hard day. That is enough. That is everything.

    You can't 'regulate' your way to JOY

    In this week's Joy Broadcast , Ali talks through two phrases you hear absolutely everywhere in the wellness world. Two phrases that most people don’t truly understand, including the difference between them. In this episode, Ali makes that distinction clear. Plus why 'Regulating' is the wrong word in both cases and what you can do and say instead.   In This Episode Why ‘regulation’ is the wrong word and why it mattersYour nervous system: what it actually is, how it works, and why it’s prehistoric by designThe sympathetic and parasympathetic states and why we need bothThe real reason so many high-performing women can’t lose weight (hint: it’s not what you’re eating)Your emotional system: the ocean inside you, and how the mind makes sense of itWhy you can be emotionally intelligent and still absolutely exhaustedBody first, then brain, the sequence that changes everythingHow to work out which system needs your attention right now The Key Insight Your nervous system is your physiology,  the body, the container. Your emotional system is your psychology, the ocean of feelings held within that container. Most women are working hard on one and bypassing the other entirely. And if your nervous system is stuck in a stress response, your prefrontal cortex has gone offline, which means all the therapy, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence in the world can’t land properly. Body first. Then the brain. The container, then the ocean. “We aren’t heating systems with knobs. We are oceans. And you cannot calm an entire ocean with a knob.”   Links & Next Steps → Download the Joy List — free in the Joy Emporium → Join The Joy Rebellion (membership, £222/year): Joy Rebellion → Brilliance  private one-to-one mentorship with Ali: Work with me → Email Ali: ali@alimortimer.com  If you’re not sure which system needs attention right now, the body or the emotional ocean,  start with the Joy List & the Daily Dose (number one in the Joy Emporium  for free) .

    How I Healed my Migraine with JOY

    Ali woke up this week with a horrendous migraine  and instead of pushing through or giving up, she did something else entirely. She 'joyed' her way out of it. In this honest, personal, and surprisingly practical episode, Ali shares exactly what she did hour by hour to heal herself using her own joy strategy and why this was a powerful reminder that joy isn't just a philosophy. It is a healer, a strategy, and a verb. The Key Ideas Joy is a verb. 'To joy' is to actively, deliberately choose yourself, your rest, your pleasure, your peace is the strategy. Not something you do after everything else. The thing you do first, or nothing else works properly.Frustration is a signal. As a Generator in Human Design, Ali knows that frustration is her not-self theme,  the signal that she is out of alignment with her own energy. A migraine is her body's loudest version of that message. When she honours it, everything flows. When she ignores it, everything costs twice as much.Slowing down is not falling behind. In choosing to rest, write for pleasure, meditate, and walk slowly, Ali ended the day having done more than she had planned and all of it felt like ease.Joy is chemistry. The Daily DOSE  (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins)  is not a concept. It is a biological strategy. When you flood your body with these hormones through small, deliberate acts of joy, you change your internal chemistry. Ali has the OG joy list to prove it, a tiny scrap of paper she has kept since 2016. Resources Mentioned The Original Daily DOSE Episode scroll to the very first episode of The Joy Broadcast for the full story of how joy healed Ali in 2016. Listen here.  F*ck Discipline.

    The Secret to Unshakeable Joy

    In this meaty, educational episode, Ali takes you through one of the most powerful exercises she does with her private clients: identifying your core values. Because when you truly know your values, you have an anchor that nothing and no one can take from you. You have confidence that comes from within, not from external validation. And you have the most powerful antidote to anyone who tries to shame, judge, or hurt you. This is the work that has given Ali the clarity to stand on stage, be visible, and receive both praise and criticism, all with an unshakeable sense of who she is. What We Cover in This Episode Why knowing your values changes everything When your inner world and outer world are aligned, living out of integrity with yourself becomes impossible. Ali shares how this work protected her in a pivotal moment and how it does the same for her clients every single day. Values as your antidote When someone throws criticism, judgment, or hate your way, your values are the truth that makes their poison dissolve. Ali even uses them to identify why something is hurting, so she can let it go and move on. Ali's own core values Grit. Grace. Gratitude. Growth. Genuine. Generosity. All beginning with G (because Ali loves alliteration and words are her love language). She walks you through how she arrived at each one, and why Grace was the newest addition and the one she still has to consciously remember. The values discovery exercise — step by step Grab a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you value in life. Fill the whole page. Don't edit yourself.Ask yourself: When did I feel really, really good about myself? Why? Who was I being? What was I honouring?Ask yourself: When did I feel really hurt or sad? What values were stepped on?Start grouping your words — find the one word that holds all the others for you.Make your list memorable. Alliteration, acronyms, whatever helps you know them off the top of your head.Living the practice Over the next week, witness yourself. When you feel good, which values are you honouring? When you feel off, which ones have been stepped on? This is a practice, not a one-time exercise. Keep coming back to it. Resources Mentioned I Know Me and I Love Me:  Life Lab workshop inside The Joy Rebellion. A deep-dive into understanding and truly knowing yourself, which Ali shares with all her private clients early in their work together. Love for Life: A full programme Ali wrote in 2021 during one of her most challenging chapters, helping you start the greatest love affair you'll ever have, the one with yourself. Only available inside The Joy Rebellion. Rebel HD: Arriving on 23rd March. A brand new three-part workshop series using Human Design to understand yourself in your Body, Bedroom, and Boardroom.

    Joy: The Magic Formula for Success

    Welcome back to The Joy Broadcast and welcome to Year Two! This first episode of season two is a declaration. A relaunch. And a reminder of why joy isn't just a nice idea, it's chemistry, biology, and physics. It's the most powerful strategy you have. Ali opens with a confession: she took a break. She burned things down (very 3/6 of her), sat in the embers, and asked herself what this next chapter of the Joy Broadcast really needed to be about. The answer? Power. Not the soft version of joy, but joy as your sharpest competitive edge. What We Talk About in This Episode The evolution of the Joy Broadcast Year one was about survival:  how to find joy when everything is falling apart. Year two is about something bigger: how to use joy as a strategy when everything is piling up and coming at you all at once. Same answer, different era. Joy is not fluffy. Joy is science. Ali breaks down why joy operates across three branches of science  and why that completely changes how you should think about it Chemistry: Joy changes what you're made of. Biology: Joy changes how you function as a living system. Physics: Joy changes your frequency. The Magician card While writing her keynote speech, Ali pulled a tarot card — and out jumped the Magician. The reminder she needed: you are the magic. And magic is always the same formula: power + skill + action.  Fear as a messenger, not a shackle Fear comes up in client conversations every single week. Ali reframes it completely here: fear isn't your foe, it's your friend. It is one of your greatest guides.

    Joy, love & nostalgia with "Boo & Bambi!"

    THE JOY BROADCAST: BOO & BAMBI - A SISTER CONVERSATION ABOUT LOVE, NOSTALGIA & NOT THINKING ABOUT ANYONE ELSE This February, we're exploring love beyond romance. In this special episode, I sit down with my sister Alex (affectionately known as Bambi or Bird) for an intimate conversation about sisterhood, meaningful connections, and the joy of just being yourself. Fresh from our Maldives adventure celebrating my 50th birthday, we dive into questions about nostalgia, childhood memories, modern dating disasters, and what it means to truly switch off from responsibility. IN THIS EPISODE: On Nostalgia & Memory We explore what triggers our memories – from songs and smells to how differently we each process the past. I share how the anniversary of Mum's death affects me through snowdrops and Louis Armstrong, while my sister reveals she's more like Dad, able to leave the past in the past. The Gift of Not Thinking About Anyone Else We discuss what made our Maldives trip so special: the rare luxury of focusing just on ourselves. No kids, no partners, no responsibility for anyone else's happiness – and why that's not selfish, it's essential. The Wisdom of Empathy Alex shares her mantra shift from judgment to empathy – the story about ice creams on a winter school run that changed how she sees people's actions. We explore how we judge ourselves by our thoughts but others by their actions. Childhood Memories & Growing Up From being mistaken for each other on phone calls to Dad, to childhood holidays where we didn't have to worry about anything, we reflect on how adulthood changes the way we experience time off. JOY IS THE ACRONYM FOR JUST ON YOU As I share in this episode, when you're holding so much – children, partnerships, work, household, pets, everything – your main job is to focus on your own energy. You have to spend time every single day focusing just on yourself so you can expand your capacity to hold everything else. Otherwise, you store up resentment, frustration, and exhaustion from over-giving. This conversation is a reminder that the deepest connections allow you to just be yourself, say "I want to go to bed" on your 50th birthday at 10pm, and know there's no judgment. That's love too.
