    The Joy of Ranting, Rambling & Raving with Leesa Collinge

    This week's guest built something extraordinary out of the worst thing that ever happened to her. Leesa lost her mum to lung cancer within nine months, a diagnosis nobody saw coming. In the depths of that grief, unable to sleep, on a rising dose of medication that left her numb, she started walking. Just walking and talking with a friend, at every hour, because it was the only thing that helped. That walking group grew. And grew. Until it became Rant and Ramble, a movement of women across the country who gather to walk, to talk, to dance without a drink in hand, and to feel less alone. We talk about the coffee raves that started with twenty people and grew to five hundred. About the retreats that began because Leesa needed somewhere to switch her own brain off. About the power of sound healing and reiki for a woman who walked in convinced it was nonsense. And about the incredible collaboration coming this July with Davina McCall and the Begin Again podcast. This is a conversation about grief, about community, and about what happens when you turn your pain into something that helps thousands of other women feel that bit of joy.

    The Joy of Manifesting an Apple Watch!

    I'm recording this one from my armchair. Which feels entirely appropriate, because what I'm about to share with you started in a moment of complete surrender. Not a boardroom, not a strategy session, not a list of goals. Just me, trusting that things would work out. I've just come back from the most incredible weekend at Manifest in Newcastle (Canny Crystals and Mart Tweedy's extraordinary event) and it sent me straight back to the story that became the foundation of everything I now teach about magic manifesting. The story of an Apple Watch.  This episode is a mini masterclass. I'm giving you the complete five A formula, the one I've run as a Magic Manifesting Week multiple times, the one that has seen women in The Joy Rebellion manifest freedom funds, dream jobs, Caribbean trips, visibility they never thought possible, and daughters making football teams. It works. I also share the science that backs it up completely. The reticular activating system, Tara Swart's work on the mind, the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness. This isn't woo woo. This is how your brain actually works. Come and get comfortable. This one's for you. Favourite quotes from this episode "When you get so fixated on the delivery being in a specific way at a certain time, it doesn't always work. But sometimes the universe can blow your f*****g mind and it comes out of left field and gives it to you in a way you never expected." "Our minds are our greatest asset. They can either fire you up or they can f**k you up. And you get to choose." "Those who are certain of the outcome can wait and wait without anxiety." A Course in Miracles "I don't have to sell anything. I just have to share my stories of my life. And that is the sell." "It's like placing the order with Apple or Amazon. Place the order. And then hand it over."

    Joy Nesting, Emotional Rollercoasters and the Era That's All About You

    This week Ali is sharing something close to her heart. Tom, her eldest son, has just finished his final A-level, and with it, an entire chapter of life has come to a close. In this episode she takes you into the lay-by on the side of the road where she had to pull over because the tears wouldn't stop. The full circle moment. The rush of pride, grief, love and terror all at once. And from that place she asks a question that changes everything: why would you want to regulate this emotion? This is an episode about emotions and why feeling them fully, all of them, is not something to be managed or controlled but something to be honoured. About the midlife transition so many women are standing in right now. About what it really means when the children start to fly. About why Ali refuses to call it empty nesting and what she's calling it instead. If you're in this season, approaching it, or supporting someone who is, this one is for you. In This Episode The moment Tom walked out of school for the last time and what it stirred up in AliWhy "emotional regulation" is a phrase Ali takes issue with and what she thinks it costs usThe dam analogy and what really happens when we suppress instead of feelWhy Ali pulled over in a lay-by and what happened when she let it all come throughRoller coasters versus teacups and which one Ali is always going to chooseThe bungee ski jump in Austria, the boys cheering at the bottom, and what fear really feels like when you walk straight into itWhy Ali refuses the phrase "empty nest" and what she's renaming this chapterJoy Nesting. Bird launching. And why this era might be the most exciting one yetFiji 1999, the dreams James and Ali cast on that beach, and what it means to have actually built themThe question every woman in midlife needs to ask herself right nowWhy this is your time. Just On You.Quotes From This Episode "Why would you want to regulate that feeling? I have never felt so alive." "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving completely safe and preserved and pristine. We're going to be skidding up to those pearly gates, totally spent, totally exhilarated, going — holy fck, what a ride."* "Nothing is wrong. Your feelings are finally getting their turn." "We're not the people who go to the fairground and ride in the teacups. We're the people who run for the roller coaster." "Joy Nesting. Because we have created a home with joy, and they will always come back to it."

    JOY in HD: Chartering the Unchartered for Tom, my 18 year old

    This podcast is a A real masterclass, using my eighteen-year-old as the live case study. If you wish to follow along with your chart, your child's chart or someone you know, you can download and get your chart here: https://www.alimortimer.com/human-design-introduction My eldest son Tom finishes his final A level on Tuesday. Eighteen years old, the whole world in front of him, and a thousand possible paths to choose from. Uni, gap year, apprenticeship, something else entirely. How do we guide them without overriding them? So this week on the Joy Broadcast, I'm doing something a little different. I'm pulling up Tom's Human Design chart in front of you and walking through, line by line, exactly how I'm using it to support him at this pivotal moment. His energy type as a Generator. His emotional authority. His G Centre. His 2/4 Profile. The three gates I'm watching most closely. The Triple Split that means he needs more space than most to make a decision. I've had Tom's chart in front of me for five years now. It was first gifted to me by a coach back in 2021, and the closest way I can describe what reading it did for me was like looking into a mirror that had been really, really dirty and finally getting to clean it all off. That's what it does. It hands you back yourself. And once I'd had mine, I did Tom's, Will's and James's. We started using these charts almost like guidebooks for our boys, who are very, very different in how they live and how they make decisions. Honestly, I think every parent should be given one of these the moment they have a child. The thing I want every parent to hear: The more we tell our children who they are, the harder it becomes for them to hear themselves. So in this episode, I'm not telling Tom who he is. I'm using his chart to help him hear himself. And I'm walking you through exactly how to do the same for your child, whether they're standing at the school-leaver crossroads, navigating a friendship, choosing subjects, or simply trying to figure out who they are in the world. What I'm doing differently with Tom right now: Stop asking them what they want to do with their life. Start asking them what would feel good right now. What feels frustrating. What feels yummy. What's being offered. What's being shown. That one shift, especially for Generator children, is how they will navigate unchartered waters. My takeaway: Parenting isn't directing. It's recognising. Your child's design is already inside them, waiting to be seen. Human Design just helps you take the noise off so they can hear themselves, and so you can stop trying to mould them into a version that was never theirs. It's the permission slip for them to be themselves. And honestly, for us to let them. A very special pop-up | 9th June 2026 To mark the day Tom finishes school, I'm hosting a Pop-Up Joy Day. Buy one Human Design reading with me, gift one to your child, and my Joy in HD mastercourse is 75% off for one day only.

    The Three E's: Bringing the JOY to how I look after my body, my mind and my future self

    This week I am letting you in on a very real, very honest moment. I went to the doctors for an HRT check this week and the scales told me I had put on three kilos. Once upon a time, that would have sent me into a flat spin. This time? I sat with it, got curious, and decided it was exactly what I wanted to talk about on the podcast. My health,  your health does not have to be complicated. And the women I work with, the ones running businesses and homes and families and ageing parents, do not need another twelve step protocol. They need it simple. They need it doable. They need it to fit into a life that is already full. So I am walking you through my Three E's. The framework I come back to again and again, for health now and longevity long term. Eat for fuel. What you are actually doing in your day decides what you need on your plate. Whole foods, good protein, plenty of water. Not fancy. Not complicated. Just real. Exercise. Walk daily. Move daily. Add weight bearing work for your bones, your strength, your future self. It does not have to be hours in a gym or running a marathon (unless that brings you joy!) Easy does it. The hardest one for me. Stillness, sleep, joy moments, the breath work, the meditation, the protected pockets of quiet to ensure your cortisol drops, your digestion turns back on, and your brain does its night time clearing out, which I learned through my research into Alzheimer's is so much more important than most of us realise. This episode is part personal share, part practical framework, part gentle nudge to put yourself back near the top of your own list. Mentioned in this episode  This week's Substack: The 'F-Ugly' Girl in the Mirror → [read it here] Lean for Life, the four week programme I co-host with nutritionist Tiffany Rowlands, inside the Rose Library with access through the Joy Rebellion Ready to go deeper & lock in your joy?

    Joy: Cracking your Confidence Code

    Want to follow along with your own chart? This episode is about cracking your confidence code with joy — and along the way I talk about your fears, how you're wired, and how you lead yourself. If you'd like to know your own Human Design before you press play, get your free chart here → [FREE HUMAN DESIGN CHART LINK] You'll need your date, time, and place of birth. No chart to hand? No problem — listen anyway. Everything in this episode applies to you, whether you know your design or not. About this episode This week's episode is my keynote speach recorded as a dress rehearsal before I delivered it live at Grantley Hall, for the brilliant charity SmartWorks, who help women back into the workplace after a loss of confidence. Ten years ago, I had no confidence at all. I'd separated from James, lost my mum, left my corporate career, and I had two small boys and no idea who I was without all the things that used to define me. No title. No team. No map. No salary. No mum to call. I had to build my confidence back from nothing. This episode is the recipe I found. The five ingredients — and the one thing that binds them all together. In this episode I walk you through my five ingredients of confidence: inner strength, self-leadership, courage, truth, and power and the one binding ingredient: JOY. Just On You. My favourite line of the whole episode: joy isn't the reward for getting confident. Joy is the practice that makes confidence inevitable. Mentioned in this episode This week on Substack — Be the Peach, Not the Egg. The values work behind ingredient one and ingredient four. Why your core values are your morning activators, your anchors in a storm, and your antidote to poison arrows. → [SUBSTACK LINK]  SmartWorks — the charity behind the Grantley Hall event, helping women across the country back into the workplace and into their confidence.

    The JOY of turning your 'Imposter' in to a Friend.

    This week's episode talks about your Fear Gates in Human Design, the specific places fear shows up in your body, your mind, and your decisions, based on your unique design. If you'd like to know yours before you press play, get your free Human Design chart here → FREE HUMAN DESIGN CHART LINK You'll need your date, time, and place of birth. If you don't have it to hand, no problem at all, listen anyway. Everything in this episode applies to you, whether you know your design or not. About this episode I have a real bee in my bonnet about the phrase "imposter syndrome." I want it banished. In 1978, two psychologists coined a term that gave generations of brilliant, boundary-pushing, ambitious women the worst possible name for the voice inside them. They called her an imposter. They told us to distrust her. Silence her. Override her. She isn't an imposter. She is fear. And fear, when you understand her, is one of the most important voices in the room. In this episode I walk you through: – Why "imposter syndrome" is the most dangerous label we've handed to high-achieving women – The only two fears you were actually born with (and what that means for every other fear running your life) – Your Fear Gates in Human Design — what they are, where they live, and why knowing yours changes everything – How to invite your fear friends in for coffee instead of trying to kick them out – Why fear is evidence that what you're doing actually matters If you've ever called yourself an imposter, or had that voice tell you you're not enough, not ready, not allowed, please listen to this one. And then share it with a woman who needs to hear it. Mentioned in this episode 📖 This week on Substack — Dear Boo, you were right. Vulnerability is the bloody stone. A letter to my 40-year-old self about the wheel I drew on a scrap of paper in 2016 and how it became the whole thesis of my life's work. → SUBSTACK LINK 🌹 Mindfulness Mondays — my new paid Substack series. 100 mindfulness practices to bring you peace, calm in the chaos, and a quiet mind in a busy life.

    Know your JOY Values: Your 'secret' antidote & daily mandatory supplement

    After listening to this episode and you know you want to do this work properly? The I Know Me, I Love Me Life Lab is the workshop that walks you through finding your core values, so you can love yourself, and the woman you are, by actually living them. It's free in Monday 11th May 2026 edition of The Joy Brief, or it lives permanently inside The Joy Rebellion membership. Links at the bottom. ↓ About this episode This might be one of the most important conversations Ali has ever brought to The Joy Broadcast. It's the work she returns to with every Brilliance client. It's the work she returns to with herself, every morning, before her feet hit the floor. Your values. Not the easy answer of "integrity and honesty". The real ones. The ones you can rattle off when someone asks who you are. The ones that become your path, your conviction, your courage, your antidote. Because as Ali says: when you know who you are, you can stand tall when the poison arrows come. You don't need to zip yourself up in an energetic sleeping bag. You don't need to be the eggshell, terrified of cracking. You get to be the peach, soft on the outside, with a kernel so strong the world can't break it. What's inside this episode A genuine, behind-the-scenes share, Ali reading from her own journal, walking you through: Why values matter more than your job title, your achievements, or your CVThe peach vs. the egg: how values become inner strength rather than outer armourWhy values are the better, freer alternative to boundariesHow values become the antidote when someone tries to define you, attack you, or shrink youThe exercise: blank sheet, brain dump, cluster, distil. Finding the one word that carries it allAli's own six core values and what each one really means to her: Genuine, Generosity, Gratitude, Grit, Growth, GraceWhy she added Grace as a sixth value at the end of 2024: softening, surrender, dignified strengthHow to use your values as a lens on your big goals. The journal exercise Ali did when she declared she wanted to make a lot of money, have a lot of fun, and help a lot of people, and had to clean up every place that desire collided with who she is A line worth holding onto "My values are the path I walk every day. I don't need boundaries, because I know who I am, and I know the path I'm walking." Your invitation If something in this stirred you, triggered you, activated you, that's the friction worth listening to. Go and do the work. Get the blank sheet. Write everything down. Cluster. Distil. Define. And then live them.
