And What Else?

Send us Fan Mail Today's episode is one of my favourites I've ever recorded - diving deep into the topics of self-perception, putting yourself through suffering, and learning what fulfils you with my guest, Lewis Robling. Lewis is an ex-professional rugby player of 10 years, who since discovering ultra running in lockdown, has left the rugby world behind and become an ultra running coach...

Send us Fan Mail Brand and website designer and vision strategist, Becky Symes has come to join me on the podcast today and we have such a good episode in store for you! I invited Becky on after connecting with her on Instagram and wanted to bring over some of the amazing conversations we've had there to allow for a deeper discussion on the podcast. We've chatted about lots of things sur...

Send us Fan Mail I am an advocate for the bare minimum - and that doesn't mean doing the least amount possible, or just trying something once - if you tell me you've completed something, I'll ask you "how many times?"! To me, the bare minimum is the act of taking small, consistent action towards our goals. We can often find that situations feel hard or gritty and we think...

Send us Fan Mail I'm so happy that values are something nowadays that we are a lot more open about discussing and sharing with others. Even companies and brands have their own values now! But so often we apply our values to others, but not ourselves, and so today's episode is going to be focusing on values but from the shadow side. For example, is kindness one of your values? But from th...

Send us Fan Mail Self perception is our inner limitation, outer conclusion jumping view of the world and ourselves.  What we see isn't always the full view and our ideas about ourselves and other people are being formed in a way that can create a whole host of behaviours.  Sometimes these behaviours work in our favour, sometimes they determine whether we'll even try! If you think back to...

Send us Fan Mail All or nothing thinking - the perfect illusion to make you think that you're passionate, committed, all go go go. It's just a trick! All or nothing just means we will come back to nothing, once we aren't able to give our all any more. If I called you a "continuous starter" instead, you wouldn't be as happy about that descriptor, I'm sure. Fundame...

Send us Fan Mail Yes, it's another discipline episode, but this time through a different lens! If you're still thinking to yourself that being disciplined means using force with yourself to get things done, you're really going to want to have a listen to today's episode. There are so many areas of our life that need us to be disciplined, and I think one of the most important is...

Send us Fan Mail If you listened to last week's episode, you'll know that my word of the year in 2024 is discipline. In today's episode, I'm going a little deeper into discipline and how I'm using it this year to support positive change in my life. I'll be sharing examples of how I'm using discipline - and that's definitely not as a rod to beat myself with,...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to series 2 of And What Else! If you're a new listener, I'm so happy that you're joining us, and if you're a returning listener, thank you so much for coming back! In today's episode, we're hitting the ground running with a topic that's certainly a lot of peoples' word of the year for 2024 (and mine!) - discipline. In my mind, discip...

Send us Fan Mail It's the final episode of 2023! What a whirlwind this year has been - and how quickly it's gone! The podcast launched back in March, and we're rounding up 36 episodes in this first week of December, as I think we all just need a bit of space over this crazy season (my thoughts on that - another episode in itself!). Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making th...

Send us Fan Mail Today's world can be a really difficult place to grow up in, thrive in and build a community in and that's why today's guest has created her own wellness platform aimed at making wellness and collective wellbeing as accessible as possible, to everyone in all industries. She believes that wellness is a journey that we can go on collectively and by doing it together w...

Send us Fan Mail In astrology, a "Saturn Return" is the astrological happening that occurs approximately every 29 years and involves substantial personal growth, hurdles, and transformations. So many of us can relate to the turbulent time that can arrive at the end of your 20s, and in today's podcast episode I've invited on Caggie Dunlop, whose company Saturn Returns aims to gu...

Send us Fan Mail Two questions for you: Would you describe yourself as an all-or-nothing person? And are you proud of it? If your answers are yes and yes, today's episode is for you. I'm going to be going deep into why your all-or-nothing mentality is actually holding you back and is something you need to learn how to move past. This is something I've worked on myself, and why I am...

Send us Fan Mail On the retreat, when I asked the women to connect with their own masculine energy there was so much resistance to it. They felt disconnected to it, didn't want to feel it, didn't trust it. This was mirrored for them by some of the men that had been part of their lives and also the masculine energy that they previously had that they ended up rejecting. Although they had r...

Send us Fan Mail If there's anything that life gives everyone - it's lessons! Mistakes and failures are definitely par for the course but it is, of course, what you take from them that determines how you grow and what you move forward with. Today's podcast guest fell into business unexpectedly and our discussion in this episode covers a range of topics, from how she got started, wha...

Send us Fan Mail So many of us are living in today's world rushing from one appointment to the next, obsessed with ticking off our to-do lists and never really taking a moment to sit down, breathe and just be. This "being" is what Slow Living advocates are encouraging us to embody - do less, be present and feel more. The wonders that this transition can do for your body, mind and so...

Send us Fan Mail Recently, I got back from the retreat I was on with 11 other women and wow, what a wonderful experience it was! We were looking at the art of receiving, the ability to connect, to be interdependent, to allow ourselves to be supported and to allow ourselves to be seen in a way that we don't always manage to do in day-to-day life. Today's podcast episode is going to be rec...

Send us Fan Mail We all know that people in the spotlight can struggle with their mental health after they've become well-known - from trolls and online bullying, to having every decision and outfit scrutinised by the media, it can be incredibly difficult to feel like you can live your life as you choose. Today's podcast guest, Kaz Crossley, experienced just this after she appeared on th...

Send us Fan Mail There's nothing I love more than joining with people who work in similar ways to me, opening up to each other and sharing stories about our own lives. One of those people is Africa Brooke, who I'm so excited to bring on the podcast today! Africa is a consultant, credentialed coach, strategist, and international speaker with a unique focus: tackling self-sabotage and self...

Send us Fan Mail Today's conversation is one you need to brace yourself for - and I'm kindly asking you to listen all the way to the end before you make any reactionary responses! We're going deep into what your investments are costing you or affording you. And I'm not just talking about the monetary cost of investing in self-development or coaching - there are so many hidden r...

Send us Fan Mail If you have high-functioning anxiety, over-thinking, over-worrying and over-responsibility are probably going to be familiar to you. They make us think about made-up scenarios in negative ways, which have a reaction in the body and cause panic and overwhelm and make us behave in ways that we wouldn't have otherwise. It's so important to get to the root of your generalisa...

Send us Fan Mail A big part of hyper-independence protection levels is over-responsibility - having an innate need to try to control all aspects of your life, for yourself and other people, in the hope that if you take on that responsibility, you can prevent anything bad happening around you. What we often find though, is this never actually happens. It doesn't reduce your anxiety and you end...

Send us Fan Mail Trust is such a monumental part of being human - who do we trust, who don't we trust, which businesses do we trust, where do we put our trust aside and take the risk, do we know fully what we are putting our trust into or have we been misled? It's a massive topic with a huge number of avenues to go down, but in today's podcast episode I'm joined by Sarah Gold,...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the first ever guest episode on "And What Else?"! Today I'm joined by the wonderful Dr Sophie Mort, who is a registered Clinical Psychologist and Sunday Times Bestselling Author. Our conversation went in depth on a lot of topics I've touched on in the podcast before, such as hyper-independence and distracting yourself from the real problems. Sophie i...

Send us Fan Mail I wanted to start the conversation today around the topic of hyper-independence. I haven't fully percolated on it yet, but it's a really important discussion for us to have as there are many people out there who feel they have to make decisions alone, otherwise they think they'll be a burden or be abandoned. They don't feel like they belong anywhere and so they...
