Hi there & welcome back! Four years ago, I wrote my first book,  Your Dream Life Starts Here . It was my answer to the thousands of people who were regularly asking me “ I’m inspired by your story, but where do I start if I want to live my best life too? ” …and my reason for writing it was to inspire & empower as many people as I can to discover and chase their dreams. It’s a dream of mine...

Hi there & welcome back to another episode. This week has been a bit challenging for me, for a few different reasons.

You stand at the top of the steep run-in to the massive aerial ski jump. A sea of people and the worlds press below. Breathe in. Breathe out. Here you go…   You ignore the pain of the broken bones in both of your ankles.   You only need 15 seconds of perfection - flipping & twisting through the air 6 meters above the icy snow - to win the Olympic gold medal you’ve dreamed of, trained for and s...
