After an ankle injury running the London Marathon put Kirsty out of action, she turned her attention to what she could do to stay active and challenged herself to do 100 sea swims which turned into 1000 sea swims, every single day! Since then she has become a sea swim coach inspiring and helping others to get out of their comfort zone and experience the multiple benefits and ripple effect of sea swimming including increased confidence and courage, presence, emotional and mental wellbeing and strength. With a degree in global health and social medicine, and certified fitness instructor Kirsty always had an interest in health and wellness, as well as a desire to work for herself. Using her background in marketing she is turning something she loves into her full time job. We talk about identity and the journey of discovering who you are by following the subtle nudges and desires in life, as well as creating micro adventures and taking baby steps each day, which all add up to progress. She also gives her top tips to get started safely if you're interested in getting in and swimming yourself.  Since recording this episode I was inspired to get in the sea myself - and whilst it was not on the cards before, I did not regret getting uncomfortable and can't wait for my next swim!

In this episode I also share what I got for my birthday and where that idea came from (it's slightly random but then again not at all!)  Enjoy :)

It has become apparent to me how my digestive health and energy levels have been far from optimum for many years now, and this has a knock on impact on how I show up and lead in business and life.  After making some good progress in 2021, I hired Liz to help me get to the root cause and turn things around. In this episode, she interviews me about our time working together so far! We dive into how I overcame energy lows, fatigue and long-term digestive issues (we even got a little geeky and share my stools analysis) to become effortlessly lighter (quite literally -12lbs in body & mind), brighter and full of business mojo sparks. You can watch the original Facebook live video here on Liz's page: https://www.facebook.com/elizabethsergeant/videos/350078457023845 Be sure to give her a follow whilst you're over there. Also check out episode 24 of the show where I previously interviewed the lovely Liz. If you're interested in following along with the next leg of my health journey - a 15 day gut cleanse - stay tuned as I'll be sharing all on the show.

Sammy is no ordinary personal trainer. She is fascinated with how the body works and has mastered how to help leaders get active and not just physically, but energetically attractive. We talk about the mindset and identity shifts that are required to set your health goals and actually reach them, and most importantly how to enjoy the ride. She dispels the myth of willpower and lets us in on where motivation and consistency comes from and how exercise can be one of our biggest teachers.

And the worst thing about it is, it's the same lie I've been believing for decades. This was a little vulnerable to share, so I'll leave it here...

In this episode I wanted to share with you a two part process that I take myself through at the end of something old / beginning of something new - like a new year - and why I feel looking back is the key to ensure we move forward powerfully. In a nutshell: Part one - Reflection - Mind map - 2021 =  - Lessons Learnt - Word(s) for the year  Part two - Planning  - Stop - Start - Continue - Word(s) for the year - Desires + Intentions = GOALS

I've missed you guys, but I'm back in the room... Happy 2022, let's do this!

Today I’m in conversation with Amanda Jayne, an experienced Jikiden Reiki Teacher and the beautiful soul that introduced me to Reiki, and taught me about it all in 2018. We talk about how we each discovered energy and how travelling East opened her eyes to how normal some of the things we find 'woo' are there. I ask her how she stumbled across the origins of Reiki in Japan, and how it helped her personally overcome Covid-19 last year. Get your hands on her new book on Amazon, The Book Depository or check out: www.womeninreiki.com For Jikiden Reiki Training, Treatments, and one to one heart circle coaching check out Amanda’s website: www.learnjikidenreiki.com and for her writing: www.amandacjayne.com
