    Joy Rebel Sue: Finding Gratitude Through Loss, Career Change and Cancer

    In this episode, Ali sits down with 'joy rebel' Sue to talk about the years that took her from a high-pressure corporate career to becoming a performance coach via grief, a global pandemic, and a breast cancer diagnosis she wasn't expecting. In this episode: Sue first connected with Ali's meditations back in 2020, during the depths of the pandemic, when she was living in Cheltenham but separated from her family in North Manchester. She talks honestly about what it was like when work and home collapsed into the same four walls and how meditation, horse riding and running became her way of staying grounded. In early 2021, Sue's family contracted COVID, and she lost her brother-in-law suddenly. Unable to be with her sister or attend the funeral because of lockdown restrictions, Sue found her way through by starting a gratitude journalling practice something she and Ali dig into together, with a nod to Brené Brown and Liz Gilbert along the way. That loss became a turning point. Sue left her permanent corporate role and trained as a performance coach, eventually building a private client base alongside part-time corporate work. 2024 brought a run of good things training for SEMA, a tenth wedding anniversary trip, and a solo wellness retreat in Formentera, Ibiza. It also brought an unexpected discovery: a concerning finding during a mammogram follow-up while she was away, which led to biopsies and, in October 2024, a diagnosis of early-stage but aggressive breast cancer. Sue takes us through the eighteen months that followed; starting chemotherapy just over two weeks after diagnosis, the emotional and logistical weight of treatment, and how she kept herself steady by honouring her emotions rather than pushing them down, and by staying grateful for the small things: being able to move, being able to eat, being surrounded by people who showed up for her. Treatment concluded this May. Sue is now taking the summer to consider what's next but she knows project management isn't part of it, but coaching and a search for what genuinely brings her joy are. Sue's closing message: don't wait for the "right time" to pursue what makes you happy. Connect with Sue on LinkedIn here   https://www.alimortimer.com/

    Joy Rebel Sally: 'Space to Nurture' & Courage to listen to yourself

    This week Ali is joined by Sally, a Joy Rebellion VIP member and someone she first connected with through a shared love of Feng Shui, before meeting in person at Mani-FEST in 2025. Sally shares her story across three decades of work, complementary therapy, midwifery, public health, Feng Shui, and now training as a coach, and the common thread running through all of it, supporting people through change. They talk about the year Sally moved to France with a six month old, the loneliness she didn't see coming, and the decision to move back to the UK, one she once saw as failure and now recognises as one of the first times she truly listened to herself. They talk about midwifery, about what it means to hold space for someone else's biggest transitions, and about the eighteen months Sally has spent putting herself back at the top of her own list. Ali and Sally also get into the sandwich decades, the mental load of ageing parents alongside children who are technically grown but still need you, and what Ali now calls 'joy nesting' rather than empty nesting.  Sally shares her Human Design, a line three five, the trial and error, the rebel who takes a framework and makes it her own. And she leaves listeners with two small, powerful practices, opening the front door each morning to let stagnant energy out and good energy in, and scheduling a two minute reset into your day. Find the guest Sally is at the very start of her new venture, Space to Nurture, helping women create space within themselves and within their homes.

    Joy Rebel Kay Manby : finding love & beauty always in all ways

    This week I am joined by a woman I have known for almost a decade and who I consider one of the wisest people in my world. Kay Manby has lived more chapters than most of us will in a lifetime. A young marriage that did not survive. Eight years raising three children alone. A second marriage to the love of her life. And then watching that love, Jim, go through cancer. What Kay has built from that loss is extraordinary. She trained as a yoga teacher in her sixties, taught women in probation, qigong, became a celebrant who has sat beside the dying and written the words spoken at their funerals. She talks in this episode about fear as a driver rather than an enemy, about grief taking the ground out from under you, and about a stranger in a taxi who once told her every new day is a blank piece of paper. We talk about her five one Manifestor profile and what it means to work in bursts rather than constantly. About amateur dramatics at nearly seventy and the buzz of doing the thing that terrifies you. And about her simple, powerful message for anyone listening. Notice beauty everywhere. Love generously. Live gently. Laugh often. This is a conversation to come back to again and again.

    The Joy of 8-8 & the Lionsgate meditation

    The Lionsgate Portal Meditation The final part in Ali's three part series on dreaming again.  This episode is a guided meditation, recorded a few years ago for Ali's Devoted mastermind, and returned to every year for the Lionsgate portal. Where the last two episodes were about the practical work, the telescope, the compass, head, heart, soul, self, this one hands it over to the heart. No thinking, no figuring it out, just opening up and letting the images, ideas and whispers come through in their own time. Ali releases this on the 7th of August so it's ready for when the Lionsgate portal is it's most powerful on the 8th. The energy runs through to the New Moon in Leo on the 12th, so use it once, or come back to it every day through that window, whichever feels right. You can do this lying down, sitting, walking, or resting. (Just not while driving.) How to use it Place a hand on your heart if that helps you drop in. Let go of trying to force a vision, this isn't about picturing what you've already planned, it's about letting your heart show you something new. If nothing comes during the meditation itself, don't worry, the ideas often land later. In the shower, on the walk home, right as you're falling asleep. Joy Rebellion Close If dreaming again is where you're at, this is exactly the kind of work Ali leads members through inside the Joy Rebellion, all year round, not just under a Lionsgate portal. → THE JOY REBELLION https://www.alimortimer.com/

    The Joy of dreaming a new dream (and letting old ones go)

    As we continue towards the Lionsgate portal - here is your preparation for one of the most powerfully energetic portals for manifesting your dreams.   This week Ali talks about giving herself permission to dream again, especially at the point in life where so much of the original dream has already come true. She shares the process she uses to build a new dream from scratch, the telescope and the compass she walks every dream through before she acts on it: head, heart, soul, self.  She also talks about her dad's 90th birthday, what he told her about happiness at ninety, and why she's letting herself get properly delusional about what comes next, ahead of the Lionsgate portal on the 8th of the 8th. Journal Prompts: The Telescope and The Compass Pull these out for your own journal this week. One question, one simple step, for each point. The Telescope Look down the telescope at your own life. If you could teleport into it exactly as you want it, what would you see? Write it without editing yourself. Pin on pinterest with delusion. Head What does your head think when you look at that vision? Write down the first thought, supportive or resistant, without judging it. What beliefs need rebelieving. Heart Sit with the vision until you feel something. Where in your body do you feel it? Name the feeling, don't explain it. Feel the fear and know you are going to do it anyway. Soul Ask yourself, and wait. What does my soul already know, what does it want to share with me, what do I need to forgive, let go and know I am worthy of receiving? Write down whatever comes, even if it's just a word. Self Based on everything above, what's one small action, not the whole plan, just the next honest step? Joy Rebellion  If this episode landed for you, this is exactly the kind of work Ali walks members through inside the Joy Rebellion, live, every week. Come and dream out loud with a room full of women doing the same thing. →  Join THE JOY REBELLION  https://www.alimortimer.com/

    Bringing the JOY to Conflict & Confrontational Conversations

    This week Ali steps away from the 'Rebel' interview series to share something raw and real. A conversation with a Brilliance client about her fear of confrontation. A near miss on the motorway. A hard conversation . And three new JOY codes that came out of all of it. In this episode: Why so many women, especially women who are married, running businesses or raising children, spend their energy keeping the peace around them, only to end up at war within themselvesUsing Human Design to understand why conflict lands so hard for some of us (the undefined solar plexus, explained through the bubble analogy)The story: a scorching Friday drive home, a property handover crisis, a near collision with a lorry, and the flood of feeling that followedCode 1: comparison isn't always the thief of joy, sometimes it shows you exactly what you want more ofCode 2: why asking for space before a hard conversation isn't avoidance, it's respectCode 3: confrontation only exists when you bring provocation to the table. Bring calm instead, and there's just conversationThe sailor and the harbour: why coming to rest after high seas can feel harder than the storm itself, and why that's not a sign anything's wrongWhat happened when Ali and James finally had the conversation, and the bigger realisation waiting on the other side of itMentioned in this episode: Human Design: find out yours free here:Join the Joy Rebellion membership here : £22/month or £222/yearCALM:  buy the book here (visualisation, nervous system, calm as a practice)Coming next week: part two of the mini series. Ali takes you through her own dreaming and blueprinting process, ahead of the Lionsgate portal on 8/8. The answer is always joy. Love always, Ali x https://www.alimortimer.com/

    Joy Rebel Claire Louise: Iridescence and the return to yourself

    This week I am continuing my summer series, sitting down with the brilliant women of the Joy Rebellion to share their stories. And this conversation is such a beautiful one. Claire Louise has been part of the Joy Rebellion and Joy in HD™  over the past year, and her story is one of the most beautiful I have heard. A childhood spent feeling like she did not quite fit. A life that looked successful from the outside, the career, the marriage, the family, while something kept growing quietly disconnected underneath. And then a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis that became, in her words, her body's way of saying we cannot keep living like this. We talk about her discovery of Human Design and the moment she finally understood her own 3/6 profile. About iridescence, the phenomenon where a cloud holds every colour all along and simply needs the light to shift to reveal it. That is the whole philosophy behind her work now, helping women see that they were never broken and never needed fixing. Just a different light. We talk about trust without certainty. About clarity coming from movement, not from waiting until everything makes sense. And about her grandmother, rainbows, and the silver linings she has learned to find inside the hardest situations. If you have ever felt like you have drifted from who you really are, this episode is for you. Find Claire Louise Instagram: @clairelouise.iridescence Joy Rebellion This is exactly the kind of story that lives inside the Joy Rebellion every single week. Women supporting women, not by fixing each other, but by helping each other return to themselves.  Come and join us. → The Joy Rebellion or Joy in HD™ https://www.alimortimer.com/
