6 years wrongly convicted! A lesson in RESILIENCE!
(Reading time: 2 min) When Marc Singer and I first met it was quickly apparent to us both that we had lived very different versions of each others story. That of living in confinement for many years because of something that was outside of our control. Marc’s confinement was the four walls of a prison cell that he spent six years within for a crime he didn’t commit. My four walls were the twenty four years being predominantly bed, house and wheelchair bound due to the chronic illness’s known as ME and Fibromyalgia. Essentially, both of us had known what it’s like to live in confinement and happily, we both now know what it’s like to be on the outside living very full lives and making up for lost time. For Marc, the life sentence is only a very small part of the dark times he went through. He also had to find the strength to get himself through thirty one bereavements whilst in prison. An unimaginably hard and painful journey if lived even in the outside…

A Conversation On Purpose
In this episode of A Conversation On, my friend and fellow coach Andy Hall and I converse on the subject of PURPOSE. Knowing our purpose in life is unquestionably, one of life’s BIG questions and indeed, quests. We can feel lost when we don’t know what our life’s purpose is. And found, when we do. Knowing our life’s purpose is such a fundamental element of what it is to be human and so we explore this topic in order to better understand the important part that purpose plays in our world in its many shapes and forms. In this deeply honest and open conversation, Andy and I share our stories of our personal journeys discovering what our own life’s purpose is.And indeed… purposes! And just as importantly, we talk about how it’s not always been a thing that we’ve known. We talk about: ➤ What the experience was for us of not knowing what our purpose was (we’ve all be there!) ➤ How we discovered what our purpose is and how discovering that has changed the…

When the Mindset Coach has her mindset tested
(Reading time: 6 min) The Calamity If you could come up with a solid mindset test for me the following scenario would be it. Winter times are somewhat nippy when you live at the foot of Yr Wyddfa aka Snowdon. So there I was, adjusting my heated blanket just moments before joining an online networking meeting, when I brilliantly managed to catch the lead of my stand-up lamp and launch it not only into my head but also directly onto the screen of my perfect TV. My perfect TV screen that now has not one but two inch-long scratches on it. Now if you know anything about me, you will know that I am not a materialistic kind of girl. However, one of the things that I unapologetically am is a huge film and TV fan. So my television is a pretty decent one and large in size as that quality of watching is all part of the experience for me and for the screen not to have any distracting marks on it is another big part of…

It’s my 7 year health transformationversary!
And so a VERY HAPPY 7 year health transformationversary to me! 🎈🥳 After 24 years of being chronically ill with ME and Fibromyalgia I am today… 7 magnificent years healthy and FULLY living my life! 😍 …and THIS is the legend responsible ⤵️ 🙌🏻 This is Dr. Phil Parker, PhD and he is the fella with the brilliant brain who designed the Lightning Process back in the 1990s. The LP has since enabled circa 25,000 humans from all around the world (including me!) to transform whatever it was that was keeping them stuck into whatever it is they needed instead to move them forward ➜➜➜ The Lightning Process technique enables you to harness the power of your brain and your neurology (via NLP!) so that you can switch of the ‘flight or flight’ response loop that causes inflammation in the body that in turn can lead to ‘burn out’ and that inevitable diagnosis of chronic mental and physical health conditions. Whether a chronic illness or a mental health struggle the Lightning Process has been there and sorted…

🎙️🎥 #2 Harnessing the POWER of language – NYC Radio Show
Earlier this year, I was invited by Frank R. Harrison and his co-host Phyllis Quinlan, to be their guest on the TalkRadioNYC ‘Frank About Health’ radio show. (Yep that’s right… New York City! Sadly, on Zoom rather than in person but still!) The show went so well that I was invited to return for a second conversation with Frank in November 22. In this conversation, I explain how the inner dialogue we have with ourselves can be incredibly impactful and we discuss how it is therefore, important that we learn how to observe our inner narrative so that we can ensure we are using positive language instead of negative. This gives our brain a healthy structure of thinking so that we can move forward throughout our life with positivity, passion and purpose. We will also be talking about how using active language also enables us to communicate more effectively with others. This inevitably will also lead to the creation of healthy relationships and clear boundaries with those around us. I also share mindset techniques that will enable…

🎙️🎥 #1 Harnessing the POWER of language – NYC Radio Show
In April 22, I was invited by Frank Harrison and his co-host Phyllis Quinlan to be their guest on the TalkRadioNYC ‘Frank About Health’ radio show. (Yep, that’s right… New York City! Sadly, on Zoom rather than in person but still!) In this episode, I tell my ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia recovery story – ‘from wheelchair to rock climbing to coaching!’. We of course, talk about NLP, what it is and what it’s all about and how it can enable us to create a powerful road map for our brain. When we harness our mindset in this way we can move forward in our lives with passion and purpose and truly live the life we so desire. We also talk about the power of language – one of my most very favourite things to talk about! How impacting it can be when we speak to others and they to us but above all, how impacting on us our own internal language can be and therefore, how important it is to become aware of it so that we can harness…

🎙️🎥 A Conversation On: Social Media Anxiety
When I first met Rebecca, she was a photographer in her mind but not in her reality. She was stuck in a negative state of social media anxiety that was blocking both her creative and productive processes. In this conversation, we talk about our time working together and the journey that I took Rebecca on so that she could create powerful state shifts for herself and her photography career. Essentially, she went from her primary focus being the need for constant social media interaction and her fear being that she wouldn’t succeed if she wasn’t constantly interacting (which she was doing to the extent that she wasn’t out and about taking photographs!) …to making the mighty leap of deleting all of her social media apps for one month and ONLY taking photographs in that time. At the end of that month, the result was a new photography project that was edited and ready to post on her brand new photography Instagram account that she was incredibly excited about and a renewed passion for taking photographs and the editing process.…

🎙️🎥 A Conversation On: Healing from Grief and Loss w/ Mark Ashton
In this episode of ‘A Conversation On’, Mark and I talk on the subject of loss in its many shapes and forms and how it can be both a positive and a negative experience. And how the loss of the old is necessary to make space for the new. Mark and I both share personal stories of loss and grief experienced throughout our lives and how we found our way through those deeply dark and challenging times and learned many important and powerful life lessons along the way. We also throw in some self-coaching techniques for good measure! Mark is a somewhat reluctant contrarian/heretic in business, now entering the 5th decade of his career. His passion, enthusiasm and determination to tell the truth, even when it’s awkward or risky, is largely undiminished though tempered by experience. He still believes the best is yet to come and was thrilled to discover 10-12 years ago that research proves the most enduringly successful companies have a compelling purpose beyond profit. Mark has built an international community of what…
