Philippa shares how the traumatic loss of her sister as a teenager sparked unexplained experiences that she didn’t understand at the time and how, years later, further loss and upheaval brought her back to exp...

In this episode: Here’s my invitation to you - to pause, reflect and get intentional about who you are becoming in 2026 – not through goals, resolutions or “self-improvement pressure”, but through identity. So many of us carry labels we never consciously chose. They’re handed to us by family, work, culture and circumstance, and over time they quietly become part of who we think we are. The problem...

In this episode: I’m get into the subject of gratitude.  Now, before you roll your eyes because this is something we’ve all heard of before and we know we’re supposed to do more of it (!), what I’m delving into here isn’t just the bog standard “this is why gratitude is good for you and why you should do it” argument.  There’s actually a fascinating result of gratitude practices that isn’...

In this episode: I delve into the subject of REST. It’s a really interesting topic to talk about because I’m not just talking about sleep here. Oh no!

With three decades of in-house experience across the marketin...

In this episode: I want to share a provocative philosophy with you. I’ve been really inspired by a book I listened to called ‘Die with Zero’, by Bill Perkins. On the surface, it’s all about aiming to die with zero pounds (or dollars) in the bank. Now I appreciate this sounds quite drastic, and possibly a bit mad, but the deep premise behind Perkins’ philosophy is about aiming to consciously get th...

In this episode: I’m delving into the power of the subconscious mind, and how and why it can help you pinpoint the career or lifestyle changes that you truly want.

In this episode, I talk you through: · The difference b...

Anna has been a marketeer for 25+ years, and while there’s a lot about this role she still really enjoys, she knew that if it’s all she continued to do until the end of her working days, it would kill her soul (her words, not mine!) Aft...
