Anita Joos Eyre - How to sit with the discomfort of not knowing what's next?
Making big life changes can be daunting, but sometimes it's necessary to reevaluate priorities. Anita Joos Eyre shares her Change Story on this week's episode, discussing her decision to leave a successful career in Global Media for luxury fashion brands in New York and relocate back to Switzerland with her husband and daughter. After the birth of her daughter, Anita felt it was time to focus on being a mom and take a step back from her career. However, taking a career break can be stressful and fear-inducing, especially when faced with the question of "What's Next?" Anita shares how she gave herself space and time to reflect on what she loves and what interests her today, eventually leading her to become a Certified Leadership and Transitions Coach. Change is never linear or logical, but by following curiosity and asking explorative open-ended questions, new possibilities can be envisioned.
Caroline Kelf - Finding the joy on the other side of discomfort!
What if losing your sense of joy becomes the catalyst that leads to creating a whole new chapter?
In Episode 15, I sit down with Caroline Kelf to discuss her journey of transformation. Caroline's change story begins after becoming a mother and struggling with postnatal depression. She felt lost and unsure of what she wanted out of life. However, through a Conscious Leadership Program, she was able to reconnect with her passion for dancing and music. This led her to question what she wanted to create and what her purpose was. Initially uncertain, she gave herself permission to experiment and started teaching herself to mix music.
As she played and experimented, her vision became clearer. She realised that she was here to share her love of music and empower other women to reconnect with their joy. Caroline's journey shows that self-discovery is a process that requires patience, courage and experimentation. By giving ourselves permission to try new things, we can uncover our passions and purpose in life - or at least our next chapter!
Rachael Beattie - My ADHD journey & where I am today!
Rachael openly and honestly shares her battles with obesity, depression, and trauma. And how having ADHD and Bipolar has had a huge impact on both her life, and her dedication to found and develop an online neurodivergent community that is both non-judgemental and hugely supportive.
Rachael passionately talks about her need to move her body and be creative “for me it’s as important as breathing!” It’s a part of who she is, and has learned that she’s happiest when she’s moving her body and challenging her brain – be that walking her dogs, strolling along the beach, playing with her daughter or dancing in her kitchen!
Lauren Pla - Conscious Parenting, Connection not Correction!
Here Lauren Pla shares how diving into her own inner, personal development work led her to view how she parents in a completely different way.
Lauren lives in New Jersey, in the US with her husband, 22 year old daughter and 16 year old son. She shares how her parenting has changed and evolved over the course of her ever-increasing self awareness. We talk about the importance of observing ourselves - noticing how we think, feel and act, and how that impacts how we relate to our children. We also cover the power of accepting all parts of ourselves, so we have the ability to do the same, for the greatest growth of the people we’re bringing up!
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!
