Denise Engel - The Magic of Letting Go & Openning Up to life at 50 years+
A timely interview as this month celebrates International Women’s Day on the 8th March. We talk about the importance of female empowerment, that age is but a number and you have the power to create a life of your choosing that fits you, even if it makes no sense to those around you! During our chat she drops this golden nugget “Once you figure out you don’t need someone to save you - you save yourself!!
Denise shares so much wisdom in this conversation - about life, love, creativity, family and self care and so much more. She shares that at 55 years old, she’s feeling more vibrant than ever before! Putting this down to truly being comfortable in her own skin and creating the life and business that brings her the most joy! She adds “owning who you are and what you want out of life is key to finding fulfilment and happiness”.
Denise is founder of two creative businesses Mind Spice Art and more recently Denise’s Pieces - where she upcycles furniture, breathing new life and colour into each piece - so they can be loved once more! She shares how creativity is part of who she is - allowing herself to express her love of colour, crafting and design. She loves nothing more than to see the joy on people’s faces when they find a truly unique piece of furniture that they couldn’t have found anywhere else! Denise
Madi Graham - What's the best thing that could happen?
Here Madi Graham shares a very recent personal change story that only unfolded a couple of weeks before the recording of our conversation. Madi is quite simply a creative ideas machine, mother to 2 beautiful daughters and founder of @MadiBakes in Whitley Bay.
We cover so many topics in our conversation from finding the courage to really feel your feelings to dropping the need to prioritize everyone above yourself and finding your inner peace and strength through facing what you truly fear. The conversation flows from a place of real life experiences shared with heartfelt honesty, vulnerability and unapologetic authenticity!
Madi shares the importance of giving yourself permission to stop, creating a powerful space for reflection to get in touch with what life is really asking of you. After facing a potentially terrifying breast cancer diagnosis, Madi talks about sitting with herself and all her fears - holding space for herself and all the feelings whirling around her system. She gave herself permission to take some important time out, to just be - getting off the hamster wheel of busy being busyness where she so frequently operates from, to breathe and take stock. She realised that whatever the result, she was at capacity and instinctively knew she needed rest and recharge to handle whatever was awaiting her around the corner.
We know that this conversation will resonate with so many of you! As such we would love to hear your thoughts and comments about what came up for you during this epic episode!
Harvey Trent - Change can come AT YOU & effect you, or YOU can effect change!
I’m excited to bring you another episode this week with someone who was part of my inspiration for starting this podcast all about change! Here Harvey Trent, founder of strategic marketing & growth company The Pulse Rooms - talks about an epiphany he had about change following personal and professional changes that he experienced… which led him to look at change in a whole new light! To not “beware” change but instead “be aware” of its potential and growth opportunity it brings you!
Harvey wanted to create a handbook to share with his teenage children to help prepare them to navigate change more positively - empowering them to see its benefits rather than its scary unknowns! In this episode we talk about the key ingredients to practice viewing change in a more empowering way - from personal development and growth, to relationships, to creativity and meeting change head on at work! Harvey reflects that “change can come at you” and affect you or you can effect change! This powerful shift in perspective can be a game changer - reminding you that you have the power to see the change you’re facing in a more positive way and have it work for you, not against you! A powerful and insightful conversation that will help plant seeds of how you can approach change differently!
