The JOY Broadcast

What if the structure you’ve been looking for didn’t have to feel like a stick to beat yourself with? This episode wasn’t the one I had planned. After a time zone mix-up with my final guest in the spiritual practices series (she’s now saved for the next series), I sat down for a fireside chat instead. It was sparked by a word I spotted on Pinterest while creating my writer’s desk aesthetic: flowpr...

Ten years ago, if you’d handed me a crystal and told me it could change my life, I’d have laughed you out of the room. So how did I end up with rose quartz on my desk, citrine in my pocket and a pouch of stones getting me pulled aside at airport security on my way home from Tanzania? This week I’m continuing my Guests & Gurus series, and I’m thrilled to welcome my very first male guest to The...

Do you tarot?  Have you got an Oracle deck? or are you a full cynic like I once was?!   Perhaps you pulled a card and felt it was speaking directly to you? Back in 2016, in the deepest, darkest depression of my life, I found myself on retreat here in Yorkshire, picking a card from the little deck on the entrance desk every single visit. And every single time, it felt like exactly what I needed to...

Welcome to the very first episode of a brand new series on The Joy Broadcast! After celebrating 100 episodes, I wanted to do something different. This series brings together a collective of incredible people whose work and modalities have helped me on my own journey back to joy. Manifestation. Visualisation. Energy work. Sound healing. All the things the corporate version of me would have rolled h...

Welcome to episode 101, and what better way to celebrate than going back to Joy 101? In this short, sharp episode, Ali shares three of her favourite joy tools. These are the ones she reaches for herself and uses with her Brilliance clients and Joy Rebels whenever life delivers a plot twist, a sticky season, a power pivot, or a detour down the rabbit hole on the way to purpose. Each one is a "...

In this very special milestone episode of The Joy Broadcast, Ali shares the funny story of how she discovered she'd reached episode 100 (spoiler: Buzzsprout didn't tell her). It happened on a Monday afternoon when that familiar inner voice was loudly insisting she hadn't done enough, wasn't far enough along, and should be doing more. Ali takes you inside her "Just On You&q...

What if the empty nest wasn't empty at all? In this episode, recorded on the autumn equinox, Ali floats a new phrase she wants to become a household term: joy nesting , the new empty nesting. With her eldest just off to university, Ali shares how she has turned fear into joy, and why this matters whether you're waving off children or letting go of a business or career you've built f...

Ali's back after a summer off the mic, and she's opening up the whole Joy Empire in one episode.  A debrief of all that happened over the summer, from sailing in Greece, six weeks of Michelin-star chaos in Cornwall, a spontaneous four-day dash to Barcelona, and a bike ride along the seafront that turned into the moment she realised she'd built the exact life she set out to build ten...

This week I'm joined by the wonderful Kimberly Parsons, naturopath, author of The Yoga Kitchen cookbooks (has been one of my favourites for over a decade!), and founder of Naturalli, the app helping women eat in sync with their hormones. If you've ever felt afraid of food, confused by conflicting advice, or just exhausted by trying to figure out what your body actually needs,  this episo...

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 Chelte...

 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 c...

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 l...

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...

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 c...

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...

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...

A powerful addition to the Joy Rebel Summer series. Jacoline, Feng Shui practitioner and the voice behind the return to self work, joins me to explain something that changed how I think about elevation and growth. She calls it the mindset ceiling. The idea that when we are trying to shift or elevate our identity, we cannot simply leap to the next level. We have to first restabilise the environment...

This episode starts with a shark jumping over a kayak. And honestly, it only gets better from there! Trudi joins me from Australia to share a story about labels, about a lifetime spent wearing them, daughter, dancer, business owner, mother, and slowly discovering that underneath every one of them was simply her. We talk about her son Gibson, born early and unexpected after she and her husband had...

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 help...

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 e...

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...

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 w...
