Todays episode is talking about my coaching program and sprinkle of empowerments 'From Guilt to Purposeful Freedom'.
So many women live their life in guilt for not showing up well enough for their kids, their partner, their family and friends, expended family and the list goes on.
Why do we do this?
Usually because our self love and worth is low or on the floor, and so we put other peoples needs before our own.
A common reality for many, but something that is not necessary.
Life is there to be enjoyed, fulfilled, grabbed with both hands. Not settling in jobs and relationships that are not aligned to our values, do not light us up, and quite frankly keep us playing small.
It is possible to move through this perpetual state of guilt to purposeful freedom with the right guidance, the right people, the right mentors and more importantly the will to want to change your life.
On the 4th October at 3pm BST / 10am EST / 12am Sudney I am running a live sprinkle of empowerment called From Guilt to Purposeful Freedom which focus's on all of this and more.
If you want to know how you can change your life, with the right support and start living a happier more authentic life then register here and I would love to see you there.

Michael Ruskin is an author/researcher and has written a very compelling and informative book about World War II and the Holocaust as seen through the eyes of his late parents, David and Dora Ruskin, Holocaust survivors from Lithuania.
In the book, The Vow: A Love Story and the Holocaust, Michael describes how two extraordinary people transcended one of the darkest periods of World War II; the Nazi occupation of Lithuania (1941-1945) where the lives of nearly 97% of the country's Jewish population perished at the hands of the Nazis and their collaborators. (This horrific statistic reflects the highest percentage of Jewish deaths by country in Europe during World War II.)
Considering the odds of their survival, one can only conclude it was only through their unwavering love for each other, their faith in God and their unshakeable courage which made the difference between life and death.
They were truly a "miracle couple" who deserve to be honoured and their legacy preserved. And they left a message for all of us!
This has also been picked up by some influential people in the film industry and may well get turned into a mini series or film at some point.
Michael has self published and is self promoting such is his love for this story being told in the right way with integrity.

Todays episode is a follow on of last weeks Part 1. Part 2 continues where we left off an introduces some of the wonderful facilitators that do this work including yours truly.
The Game of Values is an introduction into the role our core values play in life. How they allow us to create our vision for ourselves and the world, and we can achieve this.
There are different ways we obtain core values. Some from our parents and authorities growing up, some from our peers or interests we are drawn to, but mainly from our life experiences.
The majority of people do not know the complete array of their core values, and therefore when living out of alignment, or feeling unhappy or confused, its impossible to pinpoint why.
Knowing the core YOU gives you back the power to recalibrate yourself when needed, and follow a career or life path that is in complete alignment with who you truly are.

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, you get to hear from me, Mel Clarke, about never settling for second best.
I always knew I was different from friends and other people from a young age, and I guess a large part of my younger life was trying to fit in and dim my light.
From wanting to be a psychologist at Uni to falling into a career in sales for over 20 years, to now pursuing a coaching career and more creativity, I have always been trying to find my purpose.
Watching my parents struggle and argue over money, made me determined not to be broke, and drove me to be ambitious. But ambition can be soul destroying when you end up doing a job that does not fulfill you just to pay the bills and have some nice holidays.
Along my journey of trying lots of ways of earning money to be able to quit the day job, including property investment, I was also on a journey of spiritual enlightenment.
Losing my dad in 2006 really accelerated this, and over the years having married and then divorced, and almost going bankrupt I have begun to understand what happiness really means, and it sure doesn't come from the expensive car on the drive.
In 2010 a chance encounter brought me to a wonderful lady called Clair who had just qualified as an acupuncturist, to improve my skin. The end of the fifth session lead her to telling me I was deeply unhappy, and although I resisted at first, it wasnt long before a tsunami of tears fell to confirm her words. This really was the beginning of me seriously not settling in relationships, which in turn has lead to a search for fulfilment in all areas of life.
I have never been one to join the masses, I believe we are all source energy and have the power to create the life of our dreams if we could just get out of our own way. Life is there to be enjoyed, people are there to love, we are here to self love and evolve consciously so we can all have an enriching impact on the world, in a small or huge way.
Have I got it all figured out? Hell no, but I sure intend to live from my souls purpose in everything, and be the best version of myself I can be.

Are you racing around people pleasing, attending events you don't want to, doing a job you don't really like & being in a relationship thats draining you dry.
And juggling multiple roles, relationships and responsibilities, whilst feeling unhappy, overwhelmed and completely frustrated along the way?
Its bloody exhausting!
Firstly, if that is you, please acknowledge yourself. Recognise that feeling overwhelmed is a natural response to the demands and pressures you face. It's perfectly okay to experience these emotions, so remove any judgment you have towards them.
Secondly you can begin to explore the root causes of your overwhelm.
Often, it stems from a misalignment between your true self and the life you're currently living.
Society bombards us with unrealistic expectations, leading us to strive for perfection and feeling inadequate when we fall short.
And the best kept secret out there...... drum roll please ............
is you are already enough, just as you are.
Embrace your imperfections and release the need for external validation.
Connect with your inner self, your true essence, and allow it to guide your choices and actions.
To embrace your authenticity is to break free from your chains of overwhelm.
And to transform stress into empowerment, it's crucial to prioritise self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
Carve out some time for activities that replenish your energy and bring you joy.
Engage in mindful practices like meditation, journaling, or spending time in nature.
Nurture your body with nourishing foods and regular exercise. Remember, self-care is an act of self-love that strengthens your foundation.
Frustration often arises when you feel stuck or stagnant in your life, unable to pursue your true desires and passions. It's a sign that your authentic self is being suppressed.
So reignite that spark within you!
Explore your passions, follow your curiosities, and make time for activities that bring you a sense of fulfilment.
Give yourself permission to dream big and pursue goals that align with your values and aspirations.
Break free from the limitations you've imposed on yourself and step into your true potential.
And remember that this transformation won't happen overnight. It's a gradual process that requires patience, self-compassion, and perseverance.
Celebrate each small step you take towards living an empowered life. Surround yourself with a supportive community of like-minded individuals who uplift and inspire you.
Remember that your overwhelm, stress, and frustration do not define you.
Life happens for you and not to you.... don't take things so seriously.... smile and the world will smile with you 😄
Over and out, peace and love 🕊 💕

Living in a self imposed prison is something millions of human beings do every day of their lives. And the sad reality is they don't even realise they are.
Mel Clarke was one of those humans until she heard the words :
"You are deeply unhappy"
Those are the immortal words her acupuncturist said to her after her 5th session in 2010. The repeated words felt like a sledgehammer being cracked over her head. A waterfall of tears streamed down her face, as she realised the sheer weight of truth in those few short words.
That moment changed her life forever.
She realised she had been settling in a relationship where the love for her husband had faded, and she was drowning in a sea of guilt. Guilt for lying to herself and everyone, and guilt for not being present enough with her son whilst working full time.
🔳 She had panic attacks in the middle of the night that left her feeling like she was dying without breath.
🔳 The sheer weight she carried was debilitating, knowing she was lying to herself, her husband and everyone around her.
🔳 Upsetting her family and her now extended in-law family felt like torture.
🔳 The unbearable thought of breaking up a marriage and upsetting her son's secure reality was unbearable.
🔳 And what would the wedding guests think after they had kindly given us expensive gifts?
She cried solidly for the next 2 years (well...thats what it felt like) whilst she tried to make sense of the mess and self imposed prison she had created.
But, as difficult as it was she got there.......with support, coaching and a healthy dollop of honesty.
She was able to navigate the chaos and completely change her life for the better.
She put her feelings first, and pursued what she really wanted to do in life instead of settling to pay the bills and have a couple of holidays a year.
That time in her life is the reason she does what she does today.
It is why she is so passionate about helping women to break out of their own self imposed prisons.
Millions of women (and men) stay in relationships that are less than fulfilling, and don't know how to change it.
They continue in a career that leaves them lukewarm at best.
Continually feel responsible for everyone and feel guilty that their best isn't good enough.
Berate themselves for not spending enough time with the kids, and for feeling constantly tired.
Mel is here to tell you......it doesn't need to be that way.
If she can change her life, anyone can.
Life is about joy.......not struggle or misplaced loyalty.
So what decision can you make today..... to change all of your tomorrows?

Wounds from childhood domestic violence, narcissistic, emotional and verbal abuse - and from losing her boyfriend of 8 years to suicide at 26 - came back to haunt her perfectly-planned post-marriage fairytale.
Cue, a long and painful breakdown of what came to be a very toxic situation - sending her into a spiral, young babies in tow. She managed to attract/recreate the violent, abusive, narcissistic/codependent and anxious/avoidant relationship dynamics that she had witnessed during childhood - despite PROMISING herself her marriage would be different.
But her unravelling was a catalyst for healing & finding her whole self. And from this journey, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘄𝗶𝗿𝗲🌹programme was born.
The RSLR is an immersive journey of self-exploration, healing the past and early life attachment wounds, and rewiring faulty subconscious beliefs, to transform unhealthy patterns and change women’s point of attraction.

This podcast show was inspired from my own story about settling in life. Settling in relationships, career, friendships and more came to a head in November 2010.
A divinely orchestrated meeting with an acupuncturist, who told me I was deeply unhappy only 1 year after being married, left me in a spin and began my unravelling.
You see so many people settle in life whether that be their relationships, career or both, and quite frankly that makes for unhappy people living purposeless lives.
We all know deep down when something is off or not quite right. Its the doing something about it, thats the challenge.
This episode may give you the kick up the ass you need to start admitting to yourself how you feel. When you can do that, you can start to steer your life in a direction that is more authentically you.
Please reach out to me if you would like some help on where to start at mel@melclarkecoaching.com.

Todays episode is a reminder on accepting our parts and emotions and taking full responsibility in our relationships having empathy and understanding for all.
-
Embrace all aspects of yourself without labelling them: Accept all parts of yourself without judging them as right or wrong. Recognise that every aspect of you, even the challenging parts, contributes to your unique identity.
-
Take responsibility in relationships for connection and love: Acknowledge your role in creating meaningful connections with others. Be willing to take 100% responsibility for your actions and words, and show empathy and understanding towards others.
- Let go of being right for connection and growth: Recognize that holding onto the need to be right can hinder connection and prevent personal growth. Be open to different perspectives and willing to learn from others.
- Develop a healthy relationship with emotions: Cultivate a healthy relationship with emotions such as sadness, grief, and anger. Learn to recognize and understand these emotions, and practice healthy ways to express and cope with them.

For human beings that decide to take themselves on and embark on a personal and/or spiritual growth journey it can be a trying time for lots of reasons.
Very often in life we get pissed off with the people in our life when they continue to treat us as we were, perhaps even as a teenager, without them noticing the changes that have taken place within us.
However its not their fault. Most likely we have expected those people to just 'get it' 'get us' without taking the time to properly enrol them into who the new us is, and what the new us are wanting to achieve.
If we take the time to have those conversations it will pay off with dividends.
Another great way to improve your relationships is showing up with integrity and taking 100% responsibility.
We all tend to view relationships as 50/50, and if someone does or says something to upset us, we expect them to make the first move and apologise. When this doesn't happen we feel indignant, and the need to be right and justified often leads to strained relationships and uncomfortable conversations.
If we can take 100% responsibility (as long as we are protecting ourselves and don't have porous boundaries) and show up in conversations with the people in our life explaining why we have 'been an asshole' we can lower their defences and create a captive audience to the conversation.
You might think this sounds weird and counter intuitive especially if someone has upset us. However people usually upset us because they are upset about something themselves, and the merry go round continues where nobody talks, potentially for years.
If you can have that conversation taking 100% responsibility and showing up with integrity, the other very often will reciprocate and show up in the same way. Can you imagine the vulnerable space you just created which allowed for a completely different conversation, and a completely different result?
Life changing, and relationships getting back to where you want them, in a much more positive place.
Being happy has got to be worth more to you than being right.

Guy and Ilan Ferdman are brothers originally born in Israel and emigrated to America as young boys.
They discovered personal growth from a young age in a bid to be the best versions of themselves. Guys journey started with depression whereas Ilan hated feeling like a loser. Always ambitious Ilan started his own financial mortgage business in his 20's with Guy though went bankrupt after the economic crisis of 2008.
Guy and Ilan went in different directions until 2011 when Guy found an online route to earn money through affiliate marketing and Ilan joined him. This business went onto generate 6 figures and through an event that Guy attended allowed destiny to play its part for their future. This event sowed the seeds for their own coaching business.
They hit the reset button and started all over again. Challenges aside they built their brand and business successfully.
Having spent $1 Million collectively on their own personal growth they had to acknowledge they still kept repeating old mistakes. It was through this awareness they realised there was a missing piece.
This awareness was spurred on when Guy went through severe heartbreak in 2017 and met his now wife. Their personal coach at the time introduced them to femininity as they were very masculine and the 'wife to be' introduced Guy to an energy worker who completely changed his life. This man introduced a level of healing to Guy that he had never experienced before.
Fast forward to 'pandemic time' the brothers decided to take a sabbatical for a month to rest and feel into any intuition or creativity that came up in terms of where they wanted the business wanted to grow. This is where their latest energy healing coaching vision and business was born.
So now the focus is on energy work (still with foundations of mindset work) to allow for the deep healing that humanity desperately needs. Traditional methods of therapy and mindset work simply allows the trauma and patterns to keep coming up and playing out time and time again.
They began to realise there is a world beneath the world that we know of with 5 senses. It's multi dimensional and the human body has a multitude of energy centres and body systems.
After they both went through their own energy healing and transformation they can now track and read energy in peoples systems. This allows them to feel whats happening in other peoples energetic bodies and nervous system's aswell as their own all the while promoting healing through co-regulation of each others nervous systems.
We all have this ability through awareness and practice and allows each individual to become aware of their own stuck and stagnant energy. This awareness within your body allows the body to naturally metabolise the stuck energy so the body can naturally and without effort release energy thats been stuck there for a lifetime or even past lifetimes.
In terms of mindset, the work tends to focus on why did mind respond in that way? And the stories that we all have around things that happened in our past. Our natural mind response might be to shut down or get angry. What we never think about is that this thing that happened when you were four, that you created a story around, is still dictating your life today as an adult. You are still responding from the child's perspective.
The mind is a protector and not a healer. The body heals and can self regulate but our mind stops that. Allowing those protectors to be there and thanking them for all they do, then frees the body to get on and do what it is naturally great at.

Todays episode has been a tough decision for me record as its a very vulnerable share and involves another human being.
Ultimately as a coach I know my story and share will not only help my own healing but will also help others who have been in similar situations, so here it is.
Having done a lot of personal development and healing and faced tough decisions that have allowed me to grow, becoming a victim of domestic abuse at the ripe old age of 48 was not in my roadmap. Especially when the person that created the abuse was a friend and musical partner of 25 years.
Aside from the deep hurt, betrayal, depression. grief and sadness I felt, it highlighted to me the personal healing I still needed to do for myself. It was clear my self love and worth is still not where it needs to be. If it was I wouldn't have put up with horrible behaviour and verbal abuse for so long.
It happened multiple times. I made excuses, I made allowances for the traumas he had suffered as a child and teenager. I had such a desire to be the person that could guide him to a place of more peace, that I overrode my own emotional needs to the detriment of his. I thought he wanted to heal, however it turns out he cannot or will not take responsibility for his actions and continues to play the victim and blame everyone else.
Putting others needs before my own is a pattern I run and was developed from a very young child when my own needs were not met. And we all have our own patterns. We all had times when our parents or care givers were not just not able to meet us energetically and emotionally. Its not their fault, they did the best they could with the knowledge and tools they had. I too would have not met my own sons needs when he was small, not on purpose, simply I did not know any better. Most humans do not know any better. We have never been taught and told the fundamentals of human beings really caring for each other and society constructs quite simply do not allow for it either.
If this episode helps just one person remove themselves from a negative or verbally abusive relationship then its worth recording and sharing.

Daniel Glyde runs his own coaching company called Positive Masculinity where he is passionate about helping men in mid life reclaim their lives, reduce stress and anxiety and live with more purpose.
Daniel wasn't always a coach and until fairly recently worked for the BBC in a 20 year career as a sports broadcaster, a job he really loved and was envied for, but no longer served him.
Like so many people 2020 was a year of change for Daniel, a year where he had time and space to reflect on his life. He realised he had been suffering with chronic anxiety for at least 10 years and had been masking it with drink, drugs and over working. So this needed to stop and with the help of some coaches and counselling Daniel realised his privileged job with the BBC was no longer serving his highest good.
Once Daniel was able to work on himself with mindfulness he made the choice to take voluntary redundancy, and with the help of a coach was able to release himself from the 20 year identity of being a BBC journalist. This was so freeing for him and then came a choice to live more sustainably off grid with a lot of land in a more peaceful and calm existence.
Daniel is now passionate about helping men who are suffering burnout, stress, anxiety and without purpose find their best selves. Over the last 20 years or so white straight men have felt vilified in society as a multi diverse society has been created. This has lead to much higher suicide rates and Daniel is on a mission to show how positive masculinity is a benefit to society as a whole.

Nigel Tinsdale was a financial services advisor and ran his own business for many years. That was until he started to fully understand how corrupt the financial system was and eventually he could no longer tolerate being in that profession.
On top of this Nigel has been very curious about all types of corruption over the last 20 years, and like the many millions of awakening souls on this planet is now struggling to be part of a system that is in fact still slavery.
Nigel wanted to share his vision on this podcast of the possibility of a world without money. You cannot worry about the how, and simply envision the beauty and benefits of what that world would look and feel like.
This will be a far reach for most people right now, but whats the harm in creating that vision for yourself. The more people that can see this the quicker it will happen allowing everyone a fairer and happier life.

Choice or decision?
Whats the difference?
A choice is simply what you choose to do or be or have. I choose to be spiritual, why? because I choose to be spiritual. I choose to live in England, why? because I choose to live in England.
A decision is deciding between different things. I decided to eat the vanilla ice cream because I prefer it to chocolate. I decided to go to Italy because I prefer it to Greece.
Do you get the distinction?
In our bodies it's our mind that decides and our heart that chooses.
Those crazy things that feel like a 'Hell yes' which sometimes you carry through on ...but very often don't and let the logic of the mind influence you to decide to make the logical or safe decision.
This is also very like that gut feeling we get when faced with choices or life events. Every time you ignore your gut it's usually the wrong choice, as it became a decision in that moment.
And when you make a choice, it WILL take you closer to the alignment of who you truly are.
That alignment might seem negative to begin with whilst the old stuff that no longer serves you breaks away and that is as it should be and is perfect.
Test it next time and see how your body or heart feels when making your next choice :)

Language is a funny old thing. Used in the right way it can be very uplifting and empowering, and used in the wrong way can be negative, stressful and disempowering.
In this episode I talk around changing certain phrases to something more positive and less aggressive, to change your own mindset, relationships and life in general.
- The first one is 'I should....'Where are you saying 'I should...' the most?
Eg. I should be further in my career, or I should have a husband by now, or I should have kids by now and it goes on.
How about replacing 'I should....' with 'I get to...' I
2 - Try replacing the word 'but' with 'and'
A classic example of this is 'I love you, but.... ' Using that one word completely negates the bit of the sentence that came before it and puts the other person on the defense.
3 - And stop saying 'I have to...' and start saying 'I get too...'
Eg. Replace 'I have to go to work so I can pay the bills!' with 'I get to go to work so I can easily pay my bills!'
This immediately makes all the things we get to do, feel more positive and like we have a choice, rather than overwhelmed and having no time.
Have fun with this and try and watch yourself as if you are watching a character in a movie....when you catch yourself you can be aware of it and change it the next time

Jake is wise beyond his 23 years and in this episode talks about his journey so far.
Jake decided to not go the usual University route, due to some disappointments, and instead went into an online marketing full time job after college.
Always an avid interest in TV, film and music this has influenced his journey to a point. And then applying for an apprecticeship with Google, which he'd forgotten about, saw him secure 1 of 17 places against 4500 other applicants.
As amazing as this opportunity was for him, Lockdown played a detriment in both not being able to complete living in London, and suffering like millions of others in terms of working from home and suffering with anxiety.
However he was offered a permanent job at Google, again another rarity from the apprenticeship stance, and moved into sales rather than marketing which ultimately did not suit his skills and passions.
He left Google after 3 years with no other job lined up, because he needed to for his own sanity. After a few months of chilling and enjoying himself he asked me about completing the Ultimate Contribution Uncovered (UCU) pathway, because he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life.
I am an accredited UCU facilitator and this pathway is fantastic for people who have lost where they are in life, or have come out of chaos which has altered their direction, and they want to live their life with a sense of purpose and have a clear vision for their life that resonates for them and their heart.
So Jake completed the pathway and loved it. In the middle of doing this a friend of Jakes from Google asked him to help out with some work he had taken on, which has since turned into a partnership and is producing an amazing opportunity for them both. He cannot comment anymore about it at this time as its too new.
This conversation highlights how Jake see's and continues to learn about the world, and he highlights the power of allowing things to flow with inspired action, to make the right things happen in life.

Sharon is an exhuberant individual and certainly does not want to settle in her retirement.
She candidly refers to her childhood where sexual abuse happened, and she was glad that her father kept his hands of her.
This lead to her trying to stay invisible for lots of her childhood and as her younger adult self, although she refers to experiences where she certainly came out of herself and was the complete opposite to that.
When Sharon retired from Boeing in 2016, she soon started bouncing off the walls trying to figure out how to be productive. So she began putting the skills she’d used as a Behavioral Scientist at Boeing and developed a personal Essence Statement.
This Essence Statement enabled her to fully live each day from her inner spark with a sense of purpose.
Without purpose in retirement it can lead to depression, suicide, alcoholism and boredom.
Sharon then went on to create podcasts, workshops, speaking engagements, and coaching programs that empower retirees to discover their unique spark and potential to live a more engaged, fulfilling, and joy-filled life.
Sharon has also written a book called Fresh Courage in Retirement and wants to offer to senior people the opportunities to leave a legacy and use their untapped potential rather than just playing golf every day.
Each person’s uniqueness is precious to Sharon, and as an inspirational guide, she loves helping retirees awaken their courage, explore options, and ignite their greatness.
Having a talent and not sharing it is a life lead unfulfilled.

After his rock bottom moment he went all in on holistic self-improvement and was determined to overcome anxiety, depression and finally live the life he'd always dreamed of.
Now he co-hosts a podcast with former Never Settle Podcast guest Alan Lazarous, called the Next level University that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world. He's helped turned the podcast into a multi six-figure business, and has recorded well over 1,000 episodes.

He credits the amazing partnership he has with Alan Lazarous with shared values, beliefs and vision. Its their shared desire to live from purpose that has given them the success they have, and allows them to keep impacting people all over the world.
He's also given hundreds of speeches, trainings and coaching calls with people globally.
And the main thing that changed in all of that was HIM.
He loves talking about Consistency, Commitment, Habits, Mindset, Confidence, Fear, Relationships, Limiting Beliefs and everything in between.
He believes in a heart-driven but NO BS approach to holistic self improvement, and looks forward to teaching even more people about what it really takes to get to the next level!

Rob Dubin is a real inspiration, and the epitomy of being positve, happy and manifesting an amazing life.
By his mid 20's Rob was an award winning filmmaker who owned his own company and was well paid to travel the world camera in hand doing natural world work for numerous Fortune 500 companies.
Rob has an amazing story of being lost in a winter blizzard in Colorado for 5 days and his wife and him were given up for dead. The search for them had been viral news worldwide so when they did survive, the first call they received was from the President of the United States.
The frostbite Rob's wife incurred led the doctors to announce they would amputate both her feet and most of her fingers. Because Rob and his wife are so positive they refused to sign the papers for the surgery and focused instead on a full recovery.
Using many techniques from their studies with Tony Robbins they focused on creating first in their minds a very compelling future. It took a year to heal her feet, defying the doctors predictions. A year after that at age 42 Rob and his wife turned the compelling future they had in their minds into reality.
They sold their home, bought a sailboat and spent the next 17 years sailing around the world studying human happiness and fulfillment. They shared their lives with both billionaires and barefoot villagers in 100 countries. The survival experience was their own personal Covid moment and their response of deciding to seek happiness parallels what so many in the workplace are experiencing now.
Today Rob teaches people a recipe for happiness. For individuals this translates to more fulfilling careers and a happier home life and for corporations it stems resignations and transforms workplaces resulting in increases in bottom lines.
The Great Resignation is without a doubt the biggest challenge facing leaders and managers today.
Rob's very unique story grabs attention and thus allows his insights on retention and employee happiness to create the transformation that makes employees happy to stay on the job.

So in this episode you can actually learn more about the host of The Never Settle Podcast, Mel Clarke.
A previous guest on the show, Dave Gold, reached out and wanted to interview me, which I thought was a great idea.
In this episode I talk about who I am and who I be. Dave loves authenticity and thats why he wanted to go this interview as he see's that in me.
From a young age I have been an active listener for people, an empath with compassion for all, and a safe space for all to share with no judgement. I even say I would sit and listen to murderers and rapists, as everyone deserves to be heard, and we have no idea what those individuals have suffered in their own lives.
The conversation focuses on this, and my personal life including how I came to the choice of ending my marriage, almost bankruptcy, why I ended up in a career in sales for over 20 years, the imposter syndrome, entrepreneurship and heartbreak.
In the second part of the interview my recent relationship breakdown is at the heart of the conversation, and how this relates to lots of people. My recent experience has allowed me to be even more compassionate for people and is allowing me to reach and support even more men and women who have suffered great heartbreak and trauma.
If you yourself know that you are not happy in your relationship, this episode may just help you move forwards in what ever that looks like for you. If you have a deep knowing that it is not right and never will be, the hardest part is making the choice to leave, but trust me everything after that point is relief, freedom and more contentment.

Personal development became important to Fletcher Ellingson when he was only in 10 years old in elementary school as he remembers a really influential speaker at his school talking about positivity, and had a sticker that he looked at every day 'Start your day with PMA expect something wonderful to happen'. This kick started Fletchers journey into wanting the best life for himself.
Fletcher started his entrepreneurship from a young age with a grass cutting business, as he got older and as he loves magic he busked when he was in college (including his family in the show), which then lead to being asked to do corporate gigs.
He had a business that crashed and burned early days, which meant he was on food stamps, with a family of 5 and not being able to pay his mortgage. This didn't stop Fletcher though and he and a friend approached a local website firm and were given 3 months work unpaid to improve their business and sell websites on a statewide level. And guess what it worked, with this business still thriving today.
A pivotal moment for Flectcher was when he read Tony Robbins book 'Awaken the Giant Within'. He realised from that moment that we all the power within to change our lives, and thats what he did.
He also talks about The Rejection Experiment, which is basically approaching people or situations for something that you want, in the knowledge that you may well get rejected. This is a real empowerer and strengthens your inner resolve.
Fletcher Ellingson is now a speaker, coach, and founder of Ellingson Enterprises, a coaching and training company. Fletcher helps people evolve their thinking in order to solve their biggest challenges around time, money and people allowing them to powerfully fulfill their mission.
In addition to over 25 years of speaking, coaching, and performing for audiences across the United States, he and his wife Amy, host a weekly television show during which they address topics of health, wealth, and relationships. Having gone through losing a business to building a multi-million dollar business and having worked with a wide variety of organizations he is able to help shift a company’s collective thinking. The result is the ability to expeditiously close operational and visionary gaps allowing new levels of productivity and culture.
This 2 min. video provides a glimpse into his work.

Riley is the founder & CEO of The Sleep Consultant - an organization that helps CEOs, entrepreneurs, and high performers transform their sleep to significantly boost their productivity and energy levels.
He started through his own health journey being diagnosed with chrons disease in his 20's when he was working as a financial trader, which was a dog eat dog world. After hours of research and doctors not giving him much hope, he discovered that sleep was the missing link that brought everything together.
Since then he's been helping others unlock their own "biology code" and achieve "Sleep Nirvana" by getting to the root cause of the issue rather than putting a plaster on symptoms.

Morgana Rae is a 20-time international #1 best selling author and mentor coach, and she is regarded to be the world’s #1 authority on relationship with money.
Morgana found that her financial results changed for the better (to the tune of millions of dollars) when she changed her relationship dynamic with money from bad boyfriend (always skipping out on me, telling me I'm not good enough) to swoon-worthy lover.
So now she's on a mission to help other people transform their own relationships with money from a monster of scarcity into a honey who loves them. She has now coached thousands of clients since her own shift and their results are even more dramatic than her own. Her client Gabriela was 6 figures in debt and from a penniless family in Peru when she hired her. Now she heads "Latino Wall Street" and is happily married, living on a beachfront property in Puerto Rico.
In her own personal life, her relationship with money allows her to travel the world, marrying her husband 100 times in 100 countries. (25 down, 75 to go.)
Her fun approach to what can be a scary topic--money--has had her booked as an expert on The Wall Street Journal, Yahoo Finance, FOX News, CNN, all the major television networks, Coast to Coast Radio and hundreds more.
Morgana’s fans call her the “Money Goddess” because of the many documented stories of clients manifesting 5, 6, even 7 figures within hours of changing their relationship with money. A pioneer in personal development for over 27 years, Morgana writes, speaks, and coaches from a desire to empower idealistic entrepreneurs, artists, healers, and humanitarians to have a big impact in the world… and to heal the rift between heart, spirit, and money.

G. Scott Graham is an energetic author, a career and business coach in Boston, Massachusetts but has done a whole lot more with his life incluing being a firefighter, emergency medical support, personal trainer, ordained minister, toastmaster, sports nutritionist and much more.

It means that when you are 90 years old and you look back on your life you have a sense of pride, accomplishment, and meaning — with no regrets.
Scott is a lovely guy and speaks openly about the tragedy of losing his husband of 31 years to a horrendous car accident, grief, and how he went through a long legal process to change his name to reflect his husbands.
He is an avid insatiable learner and has done two degrees over seven years as well as written several books.

After battling her way through trauma, the loss of her mum and addictions she found herself with a surplus of health issues such as IBS, hypothyroidism, hormonal imbalances, and skin issues. On further investigation she was offered restrictive diets, medications, and a lot of "we don't know what's wrong with you". This is when she dove into nutrition to begin healing from the inside out in 2016, but that didn't resolve the IBS issues, so she followed up her studies by specializing in gut health... which still didn't solve the whole problem, so she found her way into trauma support specialist.
It was a journey of evolution and growth.
Still, since the creation of Healing to Happy in 2017, Laura has gone to help hundreds of women around the globe heal their trauma, resolve their health issues, and RISE into the women they are meant to become. By understanding that her illnesses were just symptoms and taking the proper steps in the appropriate order at the right time, Laura's shift is a testament to her work and teachings that now serve women all around the globe!
Her revolutionary teachings are taking the world by storm. With helping women reclaim their bodies and find their way back to safety, her revitalized approach to the nervous system world has left many intrigued and magnetized.
She celebrates her clients who relieve their IBS and find safety to heal anxiety and release trauma after years of struggling. Still, beyond that, she celebrates their lives, their newfound power, their embodiment and confidence, their womanhood.
She will make you feel, help you evolve, and inspire you to soar.
Laura also shares her intuition and messages she received which lead her to the amazing relationship she now has, which is a fascinating insight.

Paje Rey is a coach, mentor, and online entrepreneur. She was born and raised in Manila, Philippines and migrated to Canada at the age of 16, and married young for her culture at the age of 21.
Paje and her husband really struggled in the early days in terms of income, even to buy groceries. That first year was hard and she felt like wanting out of the marriage as the lack of money created exhaustion and guilt, and her job was not fulfilling her in anyway.
Throughout her life in Canada, she received so many enquiries from friends and acquaintances in the Philippines asking for help to migrate abroad. They expressed their desires to attain better standards of living and she quickly realized the cultural belief that success was only attainable abroad.
She started observing and recognized that it really doesn’t matter where you are: Some Filipinos work multiple jobs, live paycheck to paycheck and in piles of debt despite living abroad, while some filipinos thrive whether they reside in the Motherland or migrated overseas. What sets blessed Filipinos apart from those who are struggling is not their place of residency but whether or not they have mastered the Success Mindset.
Soon thereafter, Paje and her family experienced a breakthrough that drastically changed their lives. Within six months, they went from struggling to free—from renting a small bedroom in a friend's house to living in their own apartment, debt-free. Investing in a mentor was quite an ask but she did it anyway and it massively changed her life and perspective.
His advice took her from the urge to thinking she needed to earn six figures to simply covering her basic living expenses with passive income. And although she initially thought that to be $2500 per month, her starting point was $600 to cover her mortgage. Once the mortgage is paid automatically people become less desparate and have more money to invest elsewhere.
This inspired her to host an online show called Christian Entrepreneur Movement which jump started her coaching career.
Her early years in the coaching industry allowed her to mentor non-filipinos and it further validated that race or background has nothing to do with the quality of life you live.
She is committed to making her life a living example and to serve as a mentor to driven and ambitious individuals so they can master the success mindset and be blessed in every area of their life.
A big advocate of the wealth triangle she advises using your high income skill, something you can offer to people and get paid a high amount of money. She went from $13 per hour to $325 per hour with her first coaching client. The next step is make your business scaleable and create a system through courses, webinars etc. And the 3rd step is to start investing your extra income in other areas like crypto, stocks, gold etc.

I loved talking with Cindy, she is so warm, genuine and emotional, just my kind of gal!!
Cindy saw and felt spirit from a young child, even telling her parents her grandma had died before the phone call came (and grandma wasn't even ill).
She is now an intuitive guide, Reiki Master and Emotion Code Practitioner based in North Vancouver, BC.
She feels humbled to be able to help humans to find their uplifting, honest inner voice and loves helping people find their inner bliss.
Cindys life used to be very different when she married young and had 2 sons who are her world. She worked in licensing with a clipboard no less, for 17 years. She admits now she was pretty judgemental back then and nothing like she is today, but after her divorce and being a single mum, life began to change.
A bad accident saw her go to a Reiki healer for help and on walking through the door she instantly felt as home.
She attuned to Reiki herself and after a lot of patience a chance meeting with a business woman helped launch her business, brand and her website.
Throughout the interview the spirits were with us. If you get the chance to watch it on Youtube you will see the amazing coloured light that almost engulfs the whole screen and the white light that shoots across her every so often. Lots of giggles and amazement.
Cindy also interviewed me on her own podcast The Girl Out There and you can watch the episode here or listen here

Everyone told her she wouldn't get a job because she didn't have remote experience on my resume, but she decided to try anyway.
Low and behold, her determination secured her a new employment in under a month.

So in today's short episode I actually talk about the work I am doing right now.
As a life purpose coach and accreditated facilitator I get to work with some incredible human beings who want to change and improve their lives.
People do this work when they are at a crossroads, or they don't know what to do next, they are stuck in their career or relationship, or they are coming out of chaos that has thrown them a complete googlie.
Others simply want to know themselves on a deeper level so they can work toward a more fulfilling life and career.
Through the Ultimate Contribution Uncovered pathway I help uncover and reflect back to you your Core Values & Strengths based on your life experience that you share with me.
This pathway is different to everything else out there because of the deep dive into your life experience which is unique to you, and helped shape your Core Values and what you are inherently good at.
From this place you can then create your own Vision for yourself and the world, along with your Mission Statement of how you will achieve your Vision. Finally we do goal setting and strategy to start your new amazing journey toward realising your Vision.
There is also a review call 3 months into the future to see how your new coat feels out in the real world and how it's shaping the life and human you are becoming.
Ultimate Contribution Uncovered truely is life changing, and the feedback and testimonials always say it's way better than I imagined, and has already changed my life.

Terry has reinvented himself frequently over his professional career.
At 6ft 8 Terry played Basketball at college and after graduating he was employed in the Marketing Department at the corporate headquarters of Wendy’s International in Dublin, Ohio. From there he worked in hospital administration and after getting married and moving to California for his wife's job, he became the Customer Service Manager for an academic publishing company in Santa Barbara.
Another move to Cincinnati, Ohio, Saw Terry pivot and became a police officer with the Cincinnati Police Department, where he was a SWAT Hostage Negotiator and then after another relocation to Texas, he started a school security consulting business and coached high school girls basketball in Houston.
However Terry's greatest challenge began in early 2012 when he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, which presented on the bottom of his foot. By the time the melanoma was detected, it had metastasized to a lymph node in his groin. Because this cancer is so rare he was treated at the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center. After two surgeries he was put on a weekly injection of the drug, Interferon, to help keep the disease from coming back.
He took those weekly injections for almost 5 years before the Interferon became so toxic to his body that he ended up in the Intensive Care Unit with a fever of 108 degrees.
One thing he learned during all the pain and suffering is that you have two choices. You can succumb to the debilitating discomfort and misery, or you can learn to embrace it and use it to make you a stronger and better human being.
He recently wrote a book, entitled Sustainable Excellence, Ten Principles to Leading Your Uncommon and Extraordinary Life, to help people find and live their uncommon and extraordinary life. The ten principles outlined in the book will provide the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakable beliefs and dedicated behaviors to reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome.

Josie May and Charlotte Balbier are proud ambitious women in their 40's both entrepreneurs and coaches in their own right, and came together serendipitously as the The Money Mavens.
Josie was originally a social worker specialising in child abuse and Charlotte created her own designer wedding dress label which became hugely successful.
For Josie the stress on her body resulted in multiple miscarriages and her husband encouraged her to quit her job and concentrate on her health. This allowed Josie to successfully have a baby and start her own coaching business which she built to 6 figures.
Charlotte also massively suffered with post natal depression and went to a very dark place. When she came back into the light people were naturally reaching out to ask for her businesss expertise after selling her brand for 7 figures, she quickly realised this was another business opportunity and a very fulfilling pathway.
They are both on a mission to support and empower more women business owners to unapologetically make more money.

David Gomes has certainly led a varied life. As a younger man he trained under Vidal Sasoon to become a hairdresser to the stars, a time he knows that trained him to become an active listener. Later in life David became a film maker, but through both careers was always a natural mentor.
At the age of 47 he decided to put his natural ability to use and became a coach.
In David's words:
The truth is, all of us are on a treasure hunt to find happiness. Some are obvious, like money, a job we enjoy, healthy relationships and achieving worthwhile goals.
Some are less obvious, like purpose, meaning and a sense of fulfillment and inner peace. We need a balance of both if we want to experience a joyful, significant life.
Who I have been referred to as a practical thinker, a sounding board and the mindfulness guy. I provide refreshingly fresh perspectives. I am a self confessed enemy of the status quo and a believer in people’s dreams. I never give up on people or good ideas.
As a young man I had become dissatisfied with my life, in spite of what I had achieved and experienced. That unhappiness led me on a search. They say when the student is ready, the teacher arrives and that was true in my case.
I began an earnest study in one of the great wisdom and meditation traditions, and have been traveling on that path for over 30 years.
What I think of mindfulness as medicine one can apply to any situation in life to feel happier and more resilient, and that naturally makes you more likely to achieve your goals and dreams.

Corbie Mitleid has always been “the different one.” A writer and visionary in a completely medical family (father a doctor, mother a nurse, brother a doctor), she has always made her own path rather than take one cut for her by others. Leaving an Ivy League university after two years, Corbie struck out to find where joy and purpose lived, regardless of what she was told she “ought” to do.
The path wasn’t easy. Two marriages, which didn’t last, and a constant search for the Partner Who Understood. A succession of jobs. A series of spiritual paths. Moving from Cambridge to Philadelphia to Poughkeepsie (love this as I have family who live here) to New York City to Atlanta.
Out of the blue, breast cancer—not once, but three times. Life became a roller coaster with no brakes, asking Corbie to survive divorce, abuse, poverty and life-threatening illness. But through all of this, she learned the value of the Examined Life: meeting challenges and always asking the next question, facing each new situation with strength, courage and humor.
Today, Corbie brings a full toolbox to her job as a beacon of manifestation and vision for her clients, using her skills as a Certified Tarot Master, psychic medium, past life specialist and channel. Her career now spans the globe, with clients worldwide. Her talents as an intuitive are featured in bestselling books. Still, her clients treasure her attitude of "I’m not special, you can do what I do."

Have you experienced the loss of your life partner?
Has this led to unhealthy habits?
Is your lifestyle void of laughter and love?
Then she can help you to make some positive changes.
As someone who lost her beloved firefighter husband just a few years ago from esophageal cancer, she knows how difficult it can be to make healthy choices after a loss. If it weren’t for Functional Medicine, she would be unhealthy and depressed, alone and without laughter.

Now she helps widows and widowers reclaim their own lives and is living proof of how Functional Medicine can transform a life.

Bethan grew up in a happy home but one that was also full of different foster children over a number of years. This experience left Bethan feeling unheard and unseen at times and has been her main driver for over achieving in education. Once she left University Bethan suddenly had no structure and therefore her purpose was gone.

Alan was a delight to talk with, and an incredibily positive person despite early childhood loss.
His desire to succeed was spring boarded by his mum when he was only 8 years old. She told him she would love him no matter what he chose to be, but being a CEO first would give him more choices in life, then perhaps starting as a farmer. He never forgot that and has always been a top achiever in everything he has done.
Alan was a brilliant engineer but after a life pivoting moment is now the CEO, Founder & Co-Host of Next Level University, a Global Top 100 Self-Improvement podcast with more than 800 episodes reaching over half a million people in more than 100 countries.
He is also a Professional Speaker & Business Coach specializing in helping businesses maximize their growth, impact & profitability online and works with his business partner Kevin, already a child hood friend.
Alan believes in a heart-driven but no BS approach to inspiring, motivating & educating others on what it REALLY takes to get to the next level.
At age 2, Alan sadly lost his father in a car accident... and at age 26, getting into a nearly fatal car accident myself, had him question everything.
It made him question who he was & the choices he was making.
Filled with regret, he searched for answers and found two amazing resources that changed his world forever.
The first was a book by Bronnie Ware called “The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying”, and the second was a Ted Talk by Tony Robbins.
Both helped him find his way & decide to go ALL IN on self-improvement to design a life of meaning & purpose.
Now it's his mission to help others maximize their potential & design lives & businesses they love on their own terms.
Oh yeah, and he and Kevin have also started a charity to help fatherless children on Fathers day to bring fun back to what is usually a sad day for them.

Amy is a retired professional basketball player who was diagnosed with her second autoimmune disorder in 2016.
She went from playing professional basketball all over the world to battling professional fatigue and not recognizing herself in the mirror.
After retiring from professional playing she felt lost in terms of what she wanted to do with her life. This gave her challenges and she battled with certain work based relationships. Luckily she had the insight to recognise she was integral to the issues and therapy helped her deal with it and recognise she was worth way more than she had been settling for.
From her rock bottom moment, she felt a nudge that told her there had to be a better way and she relied on her mindset built within her athletic career to pave the way to feeling like herself again and even better than before!
She is now certified as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), specializing in thyroid health, striving to support women in advocating for their health, getting their energy back, and feeling like themselves again.
Women are bombarded by ludicrous ways to look and age a certain way and Amy is on a mission to dispel all of that, lose the over whelment, and take small steps until the momentum is building and changes naturally happen as part of new way of living.
She wants to support women in their health journey in any way she can.
And remember that before and after photo we all compare too. The woman in the before shot, was the woman that made the choice to start to change, so never be negative about that woman, she had to start somewhere and be proud of that woman.

Johanna was born in the Bavarian alps in a town that is very picturesque. Imagine snow-capped peaks, emerald lakes, and technicolor meadows. It’s almost unreal and was also really central to the Nazi regime and to date, people go there to learn about history. When you grow up in between this stark contrast of natural beauty and incomprehensible evil, it has a profound effect on you.
Johanna has lived all over the world and started her first tech business back in 2008. By 2011 she was suffering her first burnout. After resting from that she landed a role in media for a few years and then started her second travel tech start up company in 2018. Unfortunately the timing with Covid did not allow the company to succeed and also lead to her second burn out, which is how she has now ended up back in her storybook Alps town.
Johanna is now an Agent of Change and Inspiration and a multi-disciplinary Artist of Life.
Her preferred media of life artistry are her work, love, art and music, trial and error, change, curiosity, creativity, travel, fashion, and hunger for experiences.
Johanna doesn't like to be put into a box, or defined by a set of labels. She asks 'What if you lived your life like an artist creating a masterpiece? Where all experiences - even the crises and breakdowns - make it more rich and beautiful?'
When your life is a work of art, there’s no failure - only experience. When you’re an artist of life, you allow yourself to live life deeply, experience by experience. Each experience is like a colorful thread. Together, they weave the rich tapestry that is your life.
To get an idea of what Johanna contributes, you can read her Artist of Life Manifesto here: https://bit.ly/31bPrmO
Johanna loves to inspire, share, and connect. She wants to support people in finding more joy and seeing more beauty in their lives. Her work aims to inspire people to fully embrace themselves and their quirks and let go of the idea of failure. There's no failure, when you create the bigger picture of your life, there's only learning.
Johanna believes we all need to be ourselves and to embrace our uniqueness and weirdness and to go forth and enjoy your weirdness :)

How does universal energy move through our bodies and into our lives? We consciously connect with the universal energy through practices such as yoga and meditation, and through this become more sensorially aware of how it travels through our mind, body, and outer world. The key is noticing how this energy comes through your heart. It’s known across healing paradigms that this is where the energy gets distributed for health, wellbeing and vitality.
Dr Catherine Uram comes from a family lineage of physicians and surgeons and trained as a conventional doctor. Mofre recently she now offers integrated alternative/natural/holistic therapies into her practice.
She has trained in sacred healing modalities from all over the world, including reiki, and it’s her passion to help people awaken to their true calling and contribution in this new era of humanity.
Catherine realised when treating her patients with conventional treatments that they needed more. Through further training she believes all healing powers come from the heart and so loves to offer heart centred meditations to those that are open to more natural healing.
There is a wonderful heart mediation that is shared within this episode around the 10 minute mark.

Naa, formerly a lawyer, is a Matriark on a mission to heal Ghana, Afrika and the World through the empowerment of mothers and mother-figures.
In Ghana there is a proverb: "If you educate a man, you educate an individual. If you educate a woman, you educate a nation."
As co-founder of Power to our Mothers Foundation Afrika, Naa works to support women and the work she does as a Speaker and Intuitive Life Coach serves to help evolve people's consciousness so that they can reconnect with their innate wisdom and create what they love.
Naa is also now on a path to contest in the December 2024 elections to become the first female President of Ghana.
The eldest child of 3 girls saw naa naturally hold positions of authority, she was a social butterfly, and very musical so being a politician was never in her dreams.
Naa got married in 2007 and has two sons. Her marriage started to fail a few years later leading to divorce, and she realised she had given everything up that she felt made her who she was. She felt depressed and isolated and in the eye of her storm said to herself 'theres got to be more to life'. Admitting that to herself opened an awareness a few days later when she received an invite to an event which centred on discovering your purpose.
That event changed her life and she hasn't looked back since. It made her realise she was not broken even though she was £1000s in debt and she didn't need to fix herself to create the things she loved. This kick started her on a year of training and she became a coach, and Naa specifically works with female mothers.
She had always wanted to reconnect with her heritage which is Ghana and she had a dream in 2018 involving her mother and grandmother. The symbolism was to wash away any trauma's in the lake, but she then saw a long line of women, fore mothers, ancestors behind them wanting to do the same. This dream has never left her.
In 2019 Naa was approached by a Ghanian man, lets call him Francis, through her Instagram Coaching page who invited her to come to Ghana and be president, with his vision that the mothers need to be placed back into their position of respect. Francis felt Naa could speak his message to the masses inspiring other women too. So she announced to family & friends that she was leaving the UK to run for being president. It could have seemed strange but the series of events and the things he was saying to her, meant she didn't think he was crazy and it felt aligned to who she was becoming.
Through being in alignment things just worked out for everyone, even her ex husband was happy to move back to Ghana so taking the boys there was not an issue.
Francis is her soulmate. His vision is driven by the loss of his mother, whose parting words to him were 'if he wants his life to be ok he needs to make sure the women in his life are ok'.

Emily Miotto is a Theta Healing practitioner, Cosmic channeler, and empathetic intuitive.
She loves to speak about spirituality, the mind, belief systems, the Matrix, and anything to do with energy and Universal Laws.
One day Emily was a healthy young woman and the next had started to suffer with chronic digestive issues. For a long time there was no diagnosis from western doctors. No one could work it out, and Emile kept asking herself 'why did it happen'?
Eventually she was diagnosed as Coeliac and told it was incurable so she started looking at eastern medicines and tried acupuncture, aswell as trying a naturopath. These had their place but when she discovered Theta Healing she knew it was different. After only one session she cured herself.
Through Theta Emily discovered that the energy of a past sexual trauma had been supressed and then eventually mainfested into chronic digestive issues.
A practitioner herself she discusses 3 primary parts to the healing: mediation; witnessing and intention. And wonderfully it feels like meditation through the whole session. The work done by your Practitioner changes your state of being and mind at a higher vibration. This work can trace back to the moment you installed a certain belief, and ages 0-7 are the fundamental years for beliefs to be installed. Through witnessing you can pull and remove that belief, so it will now serve you in your current life.
There is also muscle testing where your body sways a different way to the beginning of the session after you have pulled that belief away.
You can reprogram the mind to reclaim your power and relinquish the power your past has on you.
Wise words to anyone who wants to heal....If you're know youre ready to do the work you need to be ready to be uncomfortable?
And we all choose from Fear or Love. But choosing love will guide you to the right path.

Iva was a real inspiration to chat with. I was blown away with her honesty about the disappearance of her partner 4 days after she told him she was pregnant with his child.
This moment shattered her and her self confidence, but after eventually picking herself up she worked very hard to build her contacts and coaching business.
Iva fully believes we all incarnate into our lives to go through the hard times so we can evolve fully and help serve others to do the same.
Allowing yourself to feel, and bring up the stuff you resist, allows you to dissolve the protective emotional layers that we have all built around us.
As entrepreneurs we all have insecurities, and the need to feel safe and secure, but we resist sharing what we actually do with people because we fear being judged, or for looking like we are always selling.
We all have the desire to feel better from something outside of us, and that is the biggest contributor with entrepreneurs who are stuck. Looking to copy others who are seemingly doing better than we are forces us to divorce from ourselves even further than we already have and keep success even further away.
Truth is the universe wants us to find our way out of our lostness and we need to be emotionally uncomfortable to dissolve it. We need to make connections, have conversations, feel vunerable and uncomfortale, which then expands our capacity to be ok with being disliked or judged, and become yourself.
Alignment is a work in progress for all of us and earning over $500k in one month, made Iva realise that she was out of alignment with the feelings of dread and responsibility she experienced at that time.
A big advocate of plant medicine, Iva runs retreats for this and attended 25 ceremonies personally in 2021. She believes this takes us all beyond the humanness of our letting go. Our higher consciousness works without the need for us to control it, and that work is essential as we all have our own blind spots that we could never discover ourselves.

When Sam was at high school, he loved his media club and wanted to continue with this so had the inspiration to start his own podcast. Autism Rocks & Rolls was born.
He doesn't want pity, and feels there is nothing for people to feel sorry for him about. Everyone has their own talents, and autism is not a sign of weakness but a strength.
The downside of autism is suffering with anxiety and feeling exclused for most of his life. He is also very senstive to what he wears and in his words, doesn't like to play dress up.
70% of people with autism can't keep a job either due to: anxiety; being blunt; not being able to make plan B's; over analysing; or melting down in the middle of the job.
The hardest part is people don't notice you and treat you like garbage. But now Sam has a group of friends which he is grateful for everyday.
The podcast was born in October 2019 after a flash of inspiration. This platform was to help people with autism and other disabilities.
Good old mum started the flow with Sam's first guests, and then they connected to people with special needs or connections to special needs. There have been many big names including Armani Williams, first NASCAR driver who is open about having autism, and American Idol Rocker James Durbin who has autism and Tourette’s. His biggest guest of all was Dr. Temple Grandin, professor in Animal Science at Colorado State University and autism activist. He also has had WWE legends Mick Foley and Al Snow on his show!
He secured a Ted Talk in 2020 after he was recommended a couple of times. It was a virtual talk, but even if he had to do it in person he would not have been scared.
Anxiety is an issue for Sam but his life coach to helps. In Sam's words you need to find what works for you.
He really apsires to interview Gordon Ramsay due to his harsh upbringing and he's an all round great guy.
You can find Sam on all social media platforms including Insta or his podcast here and his website at autismrocksandrolls.com

Ben Winter is an Author of What to Expect when Having Expectations as well as several other books. He is also a Speaker, Actor, Improvist, Entrepreneur, Traveller, Father, and much much more. He loves to explore physical places around the world, but also explore the mind.
Introverted when younger and is his own words 'with a sad existence' it was his ex wife who introduced him to improv and when he learned the rules it was the most magical thing that had ever happened.
Newly married with a 2 month old, his wife suggesting quitting his job and moving to Europe with no agenda. So 4 months later they did and when returning home after 3 months, Ben did not want to go back to his corporate life, so started own web design and graphics business.
A divorce he wasn't expecting, personal growth and a powerful meditation gave him the subconscious download to know that he needed to be doing an improv business.
He loves teaching and speaking in front of people and wants to help people become happier.
Also Life is more fun when you know the rules of improv.
One rule is 'Yes And'. You have to accept whats happening in the moment. When you do that it's then the "yes, and.....", adding onto whats happening in the moment, even if the statement was wrong in your opinion. i.e. One person says 'don't ignore your mother and who spilt the paint?' the other person then needs to respond as being the child in the improv, so accepting the other person is mum first and then giving an explantion to the paint spilling.
'Focus on the Present' is another rule, which is the here and now also known as your intuition.
Some people are in complete denial of where they are, and never change their behaviour to change their situation. When you accept you are not happy where you are, then you can move somewhere else.
Be specific, use words, body language and inflection to communicate what you want. ie. put the trash out is fine but when? what time? why now? etc.
People only get upset when their expectation wasn't met, there is always expectation. Knowing this doesn't solve the problem and solve thats how the book came about.
It needs to becomes a practice when you understand what runs you, why you have the thoughts you do, and then you can be more aware of how to change that.
If you believe your expectation is reasonable then share it with the other person, but just know they might not buy into it, as they have their own expectations. Once you have shared you need to ask them what their expectations were or are. And quite simply If you don't share your expectations then get over yourself.
Ben has also just written his first sci fi novel in the last 12 months which will be released Jan 2022. He finishes with 'If you have an idea to do something just start, don't wait for perfection'.

From humble beginnings, Laura was told to be seen and not heard. She didn't suit traditional employment and so started her own marketing company at the tender age of 19.
She loved Robert Kyiosaki's teachings in her twenties and made some huge mistakes in real estate, but never let go of the idea of passive income.
She retired from her business at 37 feeling really burned out, and thought she would feel amazing but didnt so she studied human behaviour, and how to be happy. After hitting on a successful remedy and massively changing her own life she wanted to share with her knowledge with others.
Working in her marketing business literally nearly killed her and it took her a few years to exit but is now happy and healthy, and wealth is even easier to come by.
With any business you need to build demand that exceeds supply, then you can put your prices up. Sales are the lifeblood of any company.
Now a successful coach, author and Tedx speaker, Laura learned lifes lessons the hard way, and brings her wealth of business and personal experience to her clients. A lot of things come from pain. Pain is inspiration for others who are still in that mode.
Laura asked herself one day "What do happy people have in common?" and that is also how she started her Tedx talk. Through reading and reserarch she realised her thoughts were really bad and negative, and noticed patterns. This was how her book, 'The 6 Habits', was born.
She proved her theories with herself and friends and started changing from the inside. Laura wanted to stop others feeling the pain she felt, and feels she has stumbled on the holy grail.
The Six Areas are:
How we treat ourselves - Kindness
How we feel about ourselves - Acceptance
How we perceive ife - Gratitude
How we choose to arrive and experience life - Goodness
How we allow energy in - Intention
How we allow energy out
Laura attracts people that value experience and not bound by rules and structure and typically entrepreneurs. Although they all think they want business coaching, it usually turns out that everyone has vunerabilities, and that's where the magic really happens.
You have to work on yourself, that is the key to inner happiness in personal and business lives. And listen to your body.

Norbert, born in Hungary has always strived to want to do something different with his life and most definitely travel the world.
When he realised he wanted to travel, the first place he started was a massage therapist on cruise ships. Although he enjoyed this, the 13 hour shifts made him realise this life was not for him. As the cruise port was based in Miami which he had visited many times he decided, as America was a dream fo him, to relocate here after his contract finished.
Miami was a huge surprise as everyone spoke Spanish and it did not seem like living in the States. Even though he thought America would be everything he'd dreamt of, in the end it wasn't his cup of tea.
To continue the travel theme Norbert decided to become a flight attendant, and moved to Dubai with airline Emirates. Although he enjoyed the job he did not enjoy being in the corporate world or being forced to smile when he didn't feel like it.
With this distaste in his mouth he joined an online education platform called SFM to learn online marketing and become his own boss, as a way out. His vision then was beach living and sipping Pina Coladas. and even sold his car to fund this exciting new venture.
After time Norbert realised the online marketing world is a journey not an instant fix, but he knows his future belongs online.
SFM gave him great foundations to get going and although he's moving away from that now, he wants to realise different online pathways to have multiple levels of income.
Building his own brand organically online is the best way to build a longer term marketing business.
At time of recording Norbert is imminently moving to Japan so we can be with his wife. He met her when working for Emirates and married her online through the pandemic to be able to make being with her full time a reality.
His pearls of wisdom are "Just take the first step if you want to change your life. Its baby steps and one step at a time will get you there".
If you would like to reach out to Norbert you can find him on Facebook here.

Robert Yoho is 68 years old at time of writing spent three decades as a cosmetic surgeon after his career as an emergency physician. His generalist training gives him perspective and allows him to avoid favoring any medical specialty. He has had little dealings with hospitals, big Pharma, or insurance companies before writing his book 'Butchered by Healthcare'. He retired from medical practice in 2019 and over the years preceeding this realised how corrupt big Pharma and the medical industry is, especially in America. This knowledge came from realising his female clients were being given terrible medications and advice when they started to enter menopause, which didn't help and made them worse. Through research Robert discovered a much better way, in his opinion, to treat these women, and they all came back saying they felt 20 years younger.
Only in the last few months has Robert dived into the Covid arena, discovering that all was not as it seemed.
In Roberts Words
When I heard the first Covid vaccine had “90-95 percent efficacy,” I thought it was a joke. I knew that the industry’s primary vaccine moneymakers over the past 20 years were nearly useless. The one for influenza was a failure considering the costs and the minuscule benefits (see Cochrane reviews for meta-analyses to learn for yourself). And the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine was rejected by Japanese regulators because half the studies were concealed. These must have shown that it did not work. Despite this, this HPV injection is used universally in Europe and the US, where the Pharma companies are the most powerful.
Getting covid produces powerful and lasting immunity, even for the new variations of the virus. But the vaccine does not prevent the disease.(Rather than rename this concoction the “unvaccine,” the authorities changed the definition of vaccine.) The limited post-marketing studies of the vaccinated seemed to show some modest decrease in disease activity… for two to four months only.
If you believe the marketing hype, these concoctions must be given to everyone in the world, twice or thrice or more. This makes them the most profitable drugs in history. In comparison, the psychiatrists and their psych drug companies have managed to only get 17 percent of us using their drugs. They are amateurs by comparison.
We have inexpensive, proven treatments for viral illnesses. Within a short time, they were also proven to work for covid. These were some of the safest medications ever invented, and billions of doses have been used for humans. Despite my background researching pharmaceutical companies, I became completely convinced of their evil when I learned that a combination of these simple medications reduces total deaths by at least 80-85 percent. Of the 700,000 US people who died of the illness by early October 2021, more than 500,000 might have been saved. The blood was on the hands of those concealing the therapies to sell the vaccine.........

Chris really has been on a hero's journey, from child abuse, being a dad and husband at 19 , breaking his back, a house fire, divorce, homeless for 13 weeks, a stroke at 40, and now author, business owner, new wife and baby no 3 on the way.
Age 8 Chris was abused by his babysitter and only spoke out in the last 4 years. Then bullied at school for 2 years and again said nothing again. By 19 he was married with a child so his life was work hard, get a house and do it up.
Two years later he broke his back after kicking a coke can and it wasn't untill 2 weeks later when a private scan revealed a broken back. Chris always likes to see the silver linings in everything and this injury helped him get out of a job he didnt like, and led him to a better opportunity.
In 1999 his home burned down. The silver linings? His fab insurance policy meant his house went up in value by £25k and he could move to a better area and a bigger house.
He knew the marriage wasn't happy, and so they decided to have another baby. This didn't help but determined to stay, he put all his energy into his daughter taking her everywhere and doing everything for her. Exchanging 16th year anniversary cards was the pivotal moment when they decided to separate.
In 2014 Chris started a business, but ended up homeless. His business partner pulled out from letting him stay with him the day before he was moving in and rather than ask for help he slept in his car, by a dumpster. This rolled into 13 weeks. He even attending his brothers stag do and wedding through this time and no one knew. The whole process has humbled him to appreciate everything he has now.
Those 13 weeks came to an end when he had a stroke in Tesco. This was the real pivotal moment for Chris to start being honest and telling his loved ones what he'd been through and that he needed help.
A year later he met his soon to be Columbian wife, 13 years his junior, on Tinder, but instantly deleted the app. Then 2 weeks later he reinstalled it and BANG they were a match. She lived in Paris, but they fell in love straight away, and he took on a new house for her to move in, just before she was told she had to move to Denver with her job. Undeterred he flew there every month for 4 years until she eventually got the visa to live in the UK. Not long after arriving lockdown happened, and they went from a very long distance relationship to being together all day and night. he loved it and they still haven't had a row.
Although he says he's an athiest and his wife is a Christian one of his favourite books is the Bible. Its the community, faith and parables that feed Chris's soul, not that there is one God. Tatiana, his wife, is the inspiration and reason for his creative agency and he claims he owes her everything.
Chris is now writing book to detail his story and his bigger vision to help young men to be their best versions. Patience is a virtue is the first line in his book and he believes we all need to sit back, break life and things into smaller chunks and have patience. You can find Chris on LinkedIn and Insta.

Laurence is a super ambitious and personable accountant and now has quite a following on Linkedin which he thanks Covid for.
A super shy kid he was encouraged age 10 to sit an entrance exam for a private school in london. He was one of only 2 chosen and quickly realised he had to man up. He was a typical teenage boy, had a lot of fun and refused to listen to advice, which meant his A-Levels were a massive disappointment after spending too much time partying and chasing girls.
His first ambition when leaving Uni was to join big accounting firm BDO Stoy Hayward but he knew he wouldn't get a place due to A-Level results. Not deterred he rang HR and said he'd work for free over the Summer, they agreed and he worked his ass off whilst getting infront of all the partners which awarded him the grad program.
Laurences career exploded after this, the partners saw something in him, and his ingredients were better than the super technical guys.
Initially he had resisted following in his fathers footsteps but after travelling for a few months he realised how much he loved business, and the bits of accounting he didnt like have now fallen away with the rise in seniority.
A short stint running an electronics business with a mate whilst doing his exams gave him the experience of starting up a business, which he believes gives him the edge when advising his start up tech clients.
Innate ambition has driven him and the desire for nice things and a nice life so when he got so far, he made the decision that next move would be partner only, and was lucky enough to get many offers for that. Very content in his current partner role he started with a blank pad and pen, and no portfolio of clients given to him.
Confidence in his abilities and always rising to the challenge Laurence has out billed a lot of the other partners in the last two years. He seems to have the rare exception of being able to sell as an accountant.
Being happy in the present is where Laurence likes to reside and never comparing yourself to others.
On LinkedIn Laurence has become known as #thesingingaccountant as a result of Lockdown in 2020. Not being able to attend live networking events meant he needed to rethink how to get new clients and LinkedIN was the perfect choice.
His talent has come from being creative as a kid, and with his Barmitsvah money bought a really expensive keyboard to start writing and producing music. He was told about a song writing competition on Youtube to write a song over a beat, so he uploaded his song and in the morning had hundred's of thousands likes and comments. His channel went viral and he ended up on CNN because he was involved with one of the most viral videos of 2010. Getting married and having children meant he stopped being consistent and his followers eventually moved on.
In the summer of 2021 in Marbella at 6am in the morning Laurence came across a small Dolphin who was beached and bleeding. A stormy and pitch black morning made it difficult for Laurence to be able to free the dolphin but eventually he did and captured the whole scene from his phone.
Self belief, energy, and hard work means he is a hugely positive manifester.
Be authentic and you will be a much happier person.
You can find Laurence on LinkedIn with Humour Suits and Singing.

Nick Narbutovskih is an AirForce pilot with a difference. Not only did he know he wanted to be one from the age of 4 years old, but he chose this career over being a professional skier and is now also an author and public speaker.
Born to a Russian descent mom who was a successful Geo Physicist , she gifted Nick a colourful unfiltered upbringing including allowing him to read adult science fiction books at the age of 9. An already advanced reader this uncensored reading really accelerated Nick even more with his education and love of science fiction.
Nick loved skiing, and was very good at it, but an experience on an airfield at the age of 4 along with being exposed to a friends father who flew F4's in the Navy from a young age, cemented his dream to be that pilot.
When asked how he knew he would have the balls to do this job, he just said the reward is bigger than the risk, and in Top Gun speak, 'You dont have time to think!'
Stories and especially Science Fiction were with Nick from a very young age, and made him think about life's possibilities. Somehow a high school story that he was so proud of at the time, resurfaced in 2018 and although it was 'awful' in Nicks terms, it had the bare bones of a good story and his writing career began. His 'history based' Operations Management Masters Degree meant a lot of writing which really cemented his style and a 90 page thesis lead his wife to acknowledge just how good his writing is with the suggestion of getting it published.
His first piece was published in the Over the Horizon journal , and he realised its about a great expression of ideas that are good, over actually coming up with the good ideas in the first place.
His fiction writing dream was born through a professor at his school, who sent Nick a link called Navy Con, which is a platform for representing the intersection of national security and defence with science fiction. The universe was knocking, so he put down some good ideas , got together a talk, and it was released.
Nick has now written book his first full science fiction novel which is out to buy in December 2021 called Steel in the Blood , taking a fictional world to examine real world problems and themes especially emotional stuff, polarisation, politics and more. Combining the earthly Nick with the science fiction Nick, an expression of who he is but also project the bigger picture through metaphors. You can write out the future of what your life might look like through metaphors, and you just may learn something.
Life is everything he wants it to be . A supportive wife who is also an aviator has been the foundation for allowing Nick to become the person he now is and continues to grow into. More books in the series to come and an expanding family is the near to mid future for Nick.
Nick seems to have it all but he says you only know you made the right decision after you've made it and lived it. Trust yourself, and if it was a bad decision then remember an d learn from that too.
You can find Nick at Narbutov.com and on Insta

New Zealand born Fiona Christie is an author and coach, and hosts her own podcast.
As a newborn Fiona was sick and put into intensive care for 6 weeks, at the same time as her mother was moved to another hospital for cervical cancer. Fiona believes this lack of early connection lead her to never quite feeling like she belonged anywhere until much later in life.
Suffering with learning difficulties Fiona didn't read her first book until the age of 21, and started her personal development journey at 25 after discovering Louise Hays book Heal Your Life.
Because Fiona was overly protected growing up she felt she wasn't capable in her younger years and this lead to her marrying a man that wasn't right for her and made her feel like she wasn't good enough, even had her questioning it as she walked down the aisle. 18 years later his infidelity and lack of commitment had her wake up and realise she was settling big time.
Fiona has realised that she has settled in layers throughout her life including jobs and careers she did. Husband no 2 came as a result of blind dating and not wanting to be single. Getting married too quickly resulted in divorce number 2.
The pivotal and very metaphoric moment came when there was a massive earthquake near where she was living. She had to evacuate her house and as she sat on the top of a hill with her cats looking down at the shaky ground, she realised that was mirroring her life. In that moment she realised she did not want to keep on settling, took the decision to sell her house, and buy a 'Tiny House' on wheels so she could decide where she wanted to plant her roots.
She quickly meant her now perfect partner, and having made a decision to significantly reduce her corporate career hours, is now back to coaching and helping mid life women who want to start their next chapter, having previously given up on themselves and their identity.
If you want to know more the easiest place to get in touch with Fiona is at www.fionachristie.com.

Katie Morgan, now a qualified coach, hypnotherapist and RTT practitioner apportions her lack of belonging and boredom as a child to her mothers post natal depression and parents spending all their time building a business. There is no blame, just reasons why she struggled with certain things through her life.
A budding fashion designer, her course at University left her feeling flat and not as creative as her peers. Somehow she didn't fit in so headed off on her travels which was great until she started a relationship with a VERY narcissistic partner that kept her feeling trapped for too long until an inspiring book gave her the strength to get out. Katie knows everything happens for a reason but it took her 10 years to fully heal from that time.
Katie suffered low self esteem and battled with bulimia for years, until a chance event with an amazing hypnotherapist took her to San Diego on a weekend she hardly remembers, but stopped her being sick instantly from that day till this. The seeds were sown as to how easy and painless it can be to shift and release the blocks that sit within our subconscious, not accessible in every day living, to create a healthier and happier life.
From fashion, Katie found recruitment which she was good at and stayed in for 10 years, even becoming self employed and earning more money than she ever had before. In the end it was the game playing politics that she had no interest in, and didn't understand, so January 2020 saw her quit that very lucrative job.
What Katie then realised was the amount of coaching she had done for candidates through her recruitment years had really honed her listening skills and she'd loved that part of the job. So it seemed obvious to re train and become certified in coaching, health coaching and then hypnotherapy and Rapid Transformational Therapy.
Katie is a real advocate of energy work and working with the subconscious believing that when we are vibrating at the right frequency we attract the right clients. Her passion is working with entrepreneurs who have blockages that are preventing their success, and people suffering with anxiety. I am an advocate for Katie as she did wonders with blocks I didn't know existed.

Sylvia Baldock hosts the Becoming Significant Podcast, and is an author, consultant, coach, speaker, and business woman.
From the age of 13, from a strict Baptiste family, she ran a youth club with her brothers in Glasgow for disadvantaged teenagers.
It wasn't long before Sylvia felt left out at school because of her strict upbringing and eventually started to rebel. She was allowed to go the disco and within no time at all met guy and fell in love at 15, married him at 19, and realised she'd made a mistake on the honeymoon. He became very controlling and she essentialy was his property. Over whelming shame and shrinking herself, she did not feel significant at all. This experience made her want to help others who were suffering with low esteem , and help them break out their patterns.
Trained as a nurse, serious health problems kept her ill for months and she eventually realised she didnt want to continue as a nurse. Fast forward into pharmaceutical sales which gave her a great grounding in sales, marketing and business.
Over the last few years Sylvia has ran network groups, studied psychometric tests, and achieved accreditation in coaching. The more you learn and grow the more you can offer your clients. Sylvia also joined a professional speaking association, which was scary and stretched her, but now Sylvia teaches people how to publicly speak. Her motto is recognise the fear and rise above it, if you feel scared thats a good thing.
When in her high powered sales job, she realised she still had glandular fever in her system. A nasty flu developed into ME and she had to completely stop working . A naturopath helped her get 70% healthier. and then she got married again and started a family. After a few years a friend asked her to work for her, and said you need to go networking. Sylvia loved it and when they offered here a franchise which she bit their hand off.
Stepping into running the business networks she really saw womens vunerability who'd had corporate jobs, then a career break with kids, who then tried to launch their own business's, and loved helping them and see them flourish. Naturaly this lead to coaching and then developing the 6 week Becoming Significant program.
If funds are not an issue Sylvia strongly advises everyone to spend time with a coach or mentor, but if money is tight see it as a transition, so youre gradually building skills for something else that you enjoy and want to do for yourself. Remember when were you the most fired up, most in flow, and that must be a great start if you don't know what to do. Or do a psychometric test such as Contribution Compass which you can find on her website. We have more information at our finger tips than ever before. Get inspiration to learn more about who you are .
Psychometric tests reinforce your core values, take what resonates for you matched with your core values and this will define what is perfect for you to do. We lose sight of our strengths when we are out of flow, and many of us become what the job has made us and not who we are. Dont settle, we all have an infinite well of potential , dive into it. Dont get to the end of your days and regret things.
You can find Sylvia at www.sylviabaldock.com, on social media and reach out at sylvia@sylviabaldock.com.

We hear from 4 very inspirational women in todays podcast. I asked them all the same question: 'What was the pivotal moment in your life when you realised you were settling for second best?'
For Sylvia it was when she realised on her honeymoon at 19 years of age that she had made a mistake. The next 10 years of having her light dimmed, being emotionally abused, and suffering serious health issues, saw Sylvia begin to rise from the ashes and at 29 after finally leaving her husband, she really started to fly in her career. Sylvia features in a full length interview next week but in the meantime you can reach out to her at www.sylviabaldock.com.
Next we have Tenae Stewart, also known as The Witch of Lupin Hollow, who realised she was settling when she was doing a job she loved but didnt feel fulfilled. There were a few serendipity moments when the Universe was certainly giving her a nudge, and after a series of illnesses and being rejected for jobs in her chosen field of art she finally realised she needed to Trust and Believe. Once she had let go, 2 amazing opportunities landed in her lap that she did not go looking for. A Witches blog she had written in her spare time lead to a publishing deal, and a part time job came out of the blue working in Art. Now she is a successful witch, astrologer, coach and author, how does it get any better than that! You can find Tenae at www.witchoflupinehollow.com
Francesca Moi a successful coach, business strategist and author realises that she has settled a lot in her life and possibly could be settling right now. A different slant on things, Francesca believes that settling is a good thing, because you have to know what you don't want before you can know what you do want. And I agree. Its only after the event in hindsight when you can look back and realise you were playing too small in your business or career, or with someone that is not right for you in a relationship. But its all powerful information that lets us grow and become better in every moment. Reach out to Francesca https://www.facebook.com/themeetupqueen/ or Insta @francescamoifm
Last but not least Dana spoke to two occasions where she knew she was settling. A classical soprano, artistic director and professor Dana realised early in her career that live gigs were not paying the same as the teaching work she was doing, and with thoughts of her future in mind, she chose to do a more regional career and focus less on performing. Another occasion when she worked in an academic voice faculty she quickly realised her teaching and values did not align with the curriculum she was expected to teach other musicians. So she began to focus on building her own studio with high level students and has found this far more fulfilling and fitting with who she is.

Born from a Greek family who moved to S.Africa and then the UK with no money was very inspiring for Dino as he saw his parents go from Zero to successful, whilst still being well cared for. This inspired Dino to want to give back in some way.
As a young adult he wanted to be a rockstar and entertain, but his real heart was from a charity perspective to earn lots of money and give it back to others. Enjoying a gap year after Uni, with a business plan in property prepared, Dino's life changed after a call from his brother telling him mum has been diagnosed with motor neurones disease. So complete chaos ensued with the person closest to him at that time. His plan blown into smitherines, and he went from being super confident to unconfident and a mess.
Instead of doing what he'd dreamed of he joined IBM as a consultant. Then a man said come to finance and sales thats where you can earn the most money, his ambition lead him into the trap. Then headed up a European company and got to travel, where the money was unbelievable earning six figures at 27. When he told family he was unhappy, they blamed it on his mums illness but he was physically throwing up before going to work with stress.
His mum passed away 5 years after diagnosis which was pivotal in Dino realising he needed to change, as he hadn't found a way to be truly authentic. So in walks Alex Eastman who shifted Dinos world 180 degrees. He allowed the possibility of opening himself up to a level where he could find his true purpose by knowing himself better. Uncovering his core values, and realising his vision and mission has been the turning point for Dino. It allowed him to feel held and be patient.
It was then that he had a big shift in thinking and realised he could impact people now. So he joined a charity to build it from a local one to a nationwide one. This was a massively more aligned role than corporate sales. He also took a massive pay cut to do it which weirdly given his previous ambitions wasnt a big deal.
This work then started opening his eyes to how his other values could be realised and coaching started to surface as a deep desire that was massive for Dino in terms of fulfillment. He realised he needed to step away from the charity and be true to where he was aligned and threw himself into some additional studies at Cambridge and Oxford to develop a framework that could help others transcend the same chaos that he had been able to do.
This work allows you to uncover the confidence of who you are and what you really want to do and gives you a reference card to work from. UCU was born and the next step was to grow it and add value to people. He had no idea where the money was coming from but people are just joining and it's grown from 1 to 80 people in a short time and he is now tapping into the 20 year old him for the first time.
Dino and I both agreed we didn't want to play the game of corporate, or the game of relationships, but until we did this work we didn't have the confidence to play our own game, and had no idea what we wanted it to be. What we realised is you don't need to play another person's game, and you can create your own within the environment you're already in with fun, joy and meaning.
Values are the things that determine our behaviour. Whats most important to us can be out of alignment when external factors close in and we can act out of integrity. You need to know your whole array of core values to be in integrity, otherwise your are too biased in one direction which may not be serving you or others in your life. If you want to change your chaos Dino's advice is to look inside, clear some space and build your own game. And to do it properly you need a coach who will help guide you through your own core values, vision and mission statement. Then you will be aligned.

Sophie is a very tenacious and driven business owner, coach and mum to 3 young children.
Having done the usual travelling after University, Sophie came back to Austrailia engaged with her fiance and joined the corporate world in digital advertising and marketing. 8 years later and with child number 2 on the way she took redundancy as the job could not be flexible to her being a mother. Looking for another job proved challenging to get the right balance for home and something she enjoyed so she took a lower paid role.
Within weeks she knew it was a mistake and kept thinking she could utilise her skills in her own business. Her redundancy package and husbands bonus paid for her digital marketing education and a new Macbook, and she was good to start her new business. And then destiny partnered her up with another woman and they started their own marketing agency. Within a year it was clear things were not balanced in their relationship but her steely resolve kept her going on her own.
Sophie got her first client from a post in a community group, and believes that when she talks to people and describes what she does she will always get the business. And since then she has grown from referrals, great communication and being proactive.
Still living in Sydney at this point didn't feel right anymore, it felt like it wasn't their lives and they were there for others and job ties. So not wanting to settle within 2 years they decided to leave Sydney and moved more into the country, with a larger house, open space and a much better quality of life.
More recently coaching has become a natural extension to her work, and she loves seeing people light up at their own possibilities. Sophie's coaching offers the Ultimate Contribution Uncovered framework having been through the program herself and finding it life changing.
We also discuss throughout the interview about having children, juggling them with work and the continual feeling of guilt when mums want time out for themselves.
Sophie says if you want to change your situation just put out there what you want and be proactive. Make sure you write your CV or intention for what you want to do not what youve already done. If you try and it doesn't happen how you want you can always go back to what you know , but you will have learned a lota along the way.
Sophies site's are being updated but you can reach her at www.sophiedurham.com and www.digitalwonder.com , she is always happy to help.

Today's chat is with Megan Gibson who has already been featured on this podcast before. Megan is a friend and coach of mine and works in the same facilitation program as myself called Ultimate Contribution Uncovered. This program allows facilitators like us to reflect peoples values back to them allowing them to fully realise their Vision for themselves and the world, and how they can make that a reality through their mission statement and goal strategy.
To really live this work we have to concentrate more on being intentional about aligning with our core values and embodying them every day.
Megan started this pathway originally from a business brand perspective, but quickly saw it was more important for people to be in alignment with who they are first and see themselves from the inside out. This makes for a winning formula to be better in business and better in life.
Doing this work and having the self realisations allows you to recognise when your core value's are out of balance or being ignored in favour of another value. My top value is honesty and yet I was dishonest to myself for many years. Until we go through the discovery and uncover what we can't see for ourselves, and actually have the language for it, it is almost impossible to keep on the right aligned path.
Knowing our core values gives us frame of reference, and then we can get called out on it when we are not living into our values, and do something about it with a clear direction.
In the chaos of the Covid world people are finding it even tougher to deal with experiences, and differences of opinions. When you don't know the core of who you are, you can't bring yourself back into balance when chaos ensues. We always need to come back to our values.
Megs suggests if you're feeling in confusion and want to do something to move out of it, a great way to start is journaling or writing your thoughts down. It always helps to get things out either verbally or through writing.
Also ask yourself 'what is important to me?' Contemplate that. Its really hard to answer this on your own without someone reflecting your thoughts back to you. We never want to see ourselves as wrong and it's too easy to brush things over and lie to ourselves. We need to stop looking externally for answers or blame and look internally.
You can also reach out to Megs at www.megangibson.com
If you want to have a chat about how this work may help you please reach out to me personally and book a free call here

Dr Jaz is of course a doctor but also a BTL investor, marketing enthusiast, and coach and teacher.
As a British born Sikh Punjabi there are expectation's to prosper academically either as a Lawyer, Doctor, Pharmacist etc. Age 23 Jaz had graduated as doctor. He had a big sense of completion and felt like the king. No more learning, and happiness will be inevitable.
But actually working as a doctor was a rude awakening for many reasons. Responsibilities grow and you have to do night shifts and long days. It wasn't long before he started to feel burn out and empathy fatigue with patients pushing efficiency over empathy.
So he Googled 'how to be a multi billionaire' and came across Robery Kyosaki's book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'. This was his frist insight into how we are all trading time for money. This led to lots of seminars, books and podcasts but too much knowledge is bad when you are not implementing what you have learned.
From 27 he started implementing his knowledge into medical coaching and teaching for under graduates, as well as focusing on solutions for particualr niches. He also had an aesthetics business which he sold in lockdown and more recently a coaching business to hep people who are stuck in a rut, to understand their values nd vision in life. All of this and property investment which he advises everyone to do.
In July 2019 the hosptial said couldnt be contractor anymore due to the expense, so following the money he started to do medical disability assessments for insurance company . The role needed him to conform 100% with no creativity and no team environment. He hated it and realised how good it was to be a doctor. It wasn't long before anxiety started in the oppression of the role and 45 days without a day off sent him over the edge and he became ill with stress and anxiety.
Eventually he resigned and though leaving the building was very liberating the anxiety lingered. At this point he realised he needed to do some work on himself to understand how he got to that point and went through a program that completely changed his outlook on life.
So he went back to the NHS in lockdown , changed his framing, and now is there to help patients from a holisitc point of view and not just give tablets. He enjoys meditation and yoga and makes sure he invest's in all of this on the good days as well as the bad as chaos will still come from time to time.
Great advice from a mentor is to add one new revenue stream per year. His Fomo has gone now as he wants to be aligned to his actions and has left the old 'make it by the time your 30' attitude. Success is time choice and freedom and to fill his life with interesting conversations.
He lives by quotes such as 'Happiness is the byproduct of doing something meaningful', Viktor Frankel and 'We have built prisons for ourselves' - Dalai Lama. The 3 things for success and happiness are knowledge, the right habits and the right mentors.
If you're feeling trapped or confused just start with small incremental steps to get you from A to B and make sure you surround yourself with the people that can help and you aspire to be.

Todays episode is a share of a fabulous webinar I was priviledged to be asked to attend and participate in.
The Game of Values is an introduction into the role our core values play in life. How they allow us to create our vision for ourselves and the world, and we can achieve this.
There are different ways we obtain core values. Some from our parents and authorities growing up, some from our peers or interests we are drawn to, but mainly from our life experiences.
The majority of people do not know the complete array of their core values, and therefore when living out of alignment, or feeling unhappy or confused, its impossible to pinpoint why.
Knowing the core YOU gives you back the power to recalibrate yourself when needed, and follow a career or life path that is in complete alignment with who you truly are.
If you want to know more you can either book in a call with me here or if you feel ready to take this work on yourself please click here

Cordelia is a shining example of a woman that does not want to settle.
She met her 'to be' husband at the age of 15, had 3 children, but after 12 years in that relationship it became clear to Cordelia that she needed to change her life.
As a student nurse and pregant with child number three Cordelia decided they needed to start an online business they could do together to light her husband up. That business didn't really pay well and didn't encourage her husband and Cordelia was left to do everything. After 2 years of hard work she gave up. However this experience lead Cordelia into finding SFM (Six Figure Mentors) which accelerated her knowledge and online marketing skills.
A few months into this new journey, wanting to be at events and not at home and after a life changing retreat in the Dominican Republic, Cordelia realised her marriage was holding her back and not letting her self express in the way she needed and wanted to.
Although scared to end her relationship, a conversation with her mentor was a pivotal moment of waking up and realising she couldnt hold her self back any longer. Her partner didn't want to share the growth or her journey , so it was inevitable. A big argument later and Cordelia packed all her things in the car grabbed her children and went to her mums. Luckily her step dad had just bought a caravan which became home for the next 6 weeks.
But then the magic started for a while. She found a new house after being rejected by 2 landlords, and third time lucky she found the perfect home. There was no furniture but it was her own place.
The scariest part for Cordelia was admitting she was single mum but once she did, life was great albeit it fast and hectic. Then with a new boyfriend in toe she had a serious car crash. The next 6 months of recouping made her realise she hadn't even grieved for her lost marriage and in slowing down she was able to process the changes.
By early 2019 she was single again, in £60k of debt, and seriously needed to get finaincial stability. So after doing a lot of business coaching for SFM and running webinars, she realised she could start her own coaching business. Cordelia loves entrepreneurs who have a real passion about whatever their product or service is.
By early 2020 she decided to put her parachute on and jump into her own business. Coaching anyone and everyone she built her confidence up and took a coaching accreditation. Through sound advice she then started to communicate with her existing network rather than paid advertising and got paying clients.
And of course then Covid hit so she asked the question 'how can I add value to people right now?' With that the Rebellious Network was born, which has become her passion and she frickin loves it.
On reflection and quoting Tony Robbins Cordelia states that 'Most of the time spent agonising is building up to the decision, actually making the decision happens in a split second'.

Although Amanda did settle for a lot of her life and was scared to move out of her comfort zone one day it all changed. Raised in a turbulent background and having moved house 15 times the Universe seriously played its part in beginning Amanda's yoga teaching journey.
Whilst working in a bed department in a retail store, a thought plagued her one day. Am I content? When leaving work Amanda received a text from her yoga teacher who said she kept thinking about her and something to do with work and shortly later an older man walked past and asked 'What are you thinking'? She tried to fob him off, but he asked again, and suddenly she felt some higher connection and a part of her replied 'I feel like I want to be self employed, I want to teach yoga and be a holistic practitioner'. He went on and gave her step by step instructions and said you will feel so full you can't turn back. Her whole being ground to a halt, and she felt like she had been hit by a sledge hamer. Was this man an angel?
So the steps began, she felt the excitement building and doors magicaly opened but then tragedy hit. Within 4 months she lost her step dad, her dad, a baby, a relationship and her home as welll as finding a lump. For a year and a half she had PTSD and couldnt even go into a restaurant or get on public transport through disempowerment. But one day she heard a voice say to her 'Take back your power'. So she found a yoga teacher to learn from and he said 'Being a teacher isnt about being perfect, its about taking back your power' and she trusted that the universe knew who she was and what she was capable of.
Its Ok to be who you are today, and its enough.
Another time in her life she was consumed with the question 'Can you live well if you know you are dying'? Needing an answer she went to the library feeling immobalised when a man came in and starting asking for help to find him a poetry book. Whilst he was talking she started crying and he then asked her who she was and why she was here? She opened up to him and he told her he had terminal cancer. A very unique character, an artist and traveller he thought himself odd and different to others. He continued to travel when he was able and Amanda had her answer. He was living well knowing that he was dying. If you follow the curves of your heart you are living well.
Amandas dream is to have a spiritual retreat and even before lockdown felt like she was being called home. Working from home has been a Godsend allowing her to balance her life and earnings better. There is more space to allow her to plug into her own spiritual journey and she knows from her past that she needs to wait for the right time otherwise it will be a struggle.
Shadows and challenges are all part of growth, and the Heros journey. Making mistakes doesnt mean you've done something wrong, everything is valuable.
If you want to make your own leap it is a strong energy and scary but its OK to wrap yourself up at the sametime. Be kind to you. Balance and trust.

In today's episode Alex tells her story of being completely burned out after years of working in TV production and how that led to many twists and turns and the Universe seriously having her back!
After standing up a friend on a night out for the umpteenth time because of work commitments, her friend called her out and told her to quit. Not something she had even considered before, but this conversation gave her the balls to do it.
But then what? What were her passions?
After some travelling in Costa Rica she worked for a while in a hostel, and then after briefly toying with becoming a yoga teacher decided to pursue her travelling passion and worked on a yacht. This did not become a dream for her spending 14 hours doing laundry most days of the week with less time off than her TV career, so again she had to rethink and came back to the UK.
Keeping with the hostel theme she worked for a UK Hostel Association which proved to be a lot more hard work than her time abroad.
Eventually a persistant back problem continued to get worse to such a point she needed to be signed off and narrowly avoided an operation. Having time to reflect and listen to her doctors advice she went back to the idea of being a self employed yoga teacher, and 12 months later went to India to complete her training.
Feeling like she had come home after making that decision and the healthiest she had ever been, doors opened and life just flowed.
A teaching opportunity landed in her lap to teach yoga at a surf school in Morocco, which gave her the confidence she needed to buy a yoga business and move to Bristol. That and the Universe delivering the money she needed to buy the business.
The business grew to a point where she needed to employ other teachers and as much as she loved it, after a while felt she needed more traditional Indian training. Meditation one day revealed the name of the Ashram she was soon to visit and work at.
That time out there led Alex to realising she wanted to have the freedom to visit friends and family back home but also earn money from anywhere in the world so she could continue her travels. Enter SFM and Alex's online marketing education. This was intially for an affiliate marketing business but has since taken her to supporting other marketers and now embarking on her coaching career.
Alex says - Just take the leap into the unknown, especially if it has landed in your lap, as the possibilities that could open up for you are life changing. You only need the 1st step and the rest of the journey will unfold over time.

In today's episode Dan tells his story of being unfilfilled in corporate sales which led to him starting his online business and travelling the world.
Knowing he wasn't happy where he was, online marketing seemed to be the easiest way for Dan to quit the day job and go travelling,
Giving himself a timeline before running out of money Dan made a success of his affiliate marketing business, then sold everything he owned, packed a suitcase with his laptop, boarded a plane and Hello World!
After 15 months of travelling and whilst kayaking in Halang Bay Vietnam , he caught himself feeling a little empty and thinking oh just another day in paradise. How dare I think that? It felt like when a new job loses its shine, and he then realised he needed more from life.
2019 saw self reflection and self development through courses like Landmark and experiences including plant medicine, because having reached the pinacle of his material goals, he needed more purpose.
Through that journey Dan realised that the end result was not important, and that the journey it takes to achieve those goals was where he had the most fun and motivation. Appreciating the journey every day and helping others and the environment became ever more essential.
What keeps driving him has changed. Originally it was different levels run by the ego, these days its about continually evolving and changing as a spiritually aware human being.
Giving back and helping people move forward is a large part of it. Is that the ego driving or is it him the person? He believes that through devotion which is how you show up, a state of being if you like, is how you show up naturally.
On advice to others Dan says have trust faith and belief. Others have done it therefore I can too. Looking back over his life Dan realised he'd got over every challenge before and so he could do the same with new challenges. This, Dan says, is the same for everyone listeming to this podcast.
One thing not to do ? Stop listening to the little voice in your head that is telling you to stay safe and do nothing. And learn to trust in the process, as it will give you the ability to move into a new reality and supersede your old programming.
Take baby steps, even if you dont know the how, just one small thing that will move you forwards in the new area you would like to learn more about..

In today's episode Alex Eastman tells his story of driving fast cars and playing semi professional football to having an awakening and living a more simple, joyful and purposeful life.
Growing up Alex was extremely competitive and wanted to be the best at everything, but evolving through life taught him that simply did not pave the way to happiness.
The start of that pathway was being thrust into complete chaos when he lost both his father and 29 year old sister Vicky within a year of each other.
Vicky had an aggressive cancer, but also had a dream to help other women in her situation. Alex with his family honoured her wishes to start a charity called Victorias Promise to help women with cancer.
In his early 20's Alex thought happiness was attractive girlfriends, fast cars, passive income and sculpting a six-pack, Having achieved all of those he realised how unhappy and unfulfilled he was. Suffering with anxiety constantly, he realised he needed to feel more, and how insecure he actually was.
Chaos came with losing his dad and sister, but also his football career with a knee injury and at the same time his business collapsed.
With the pain he felt, feeling lost, and after reading The Power of Now and The Untethered Soul, he decided he needed to understand Eastern philosophy.
On a path of self realisation and after losing a romantic relationship, Alex took himself to Bali, switching off completely and seeing where it led him.
After attending a Transendental meditation and a sound bath with his phone switched off Alex found himself divinely inspired one early morning, a light bulb moment. This is where his vision of Tolado was born, an organisation and community to create a harmonious life for everyone of, which I am very proud to be a founding member of.
Leaving Bali Alex went on to Australia and decided to do a plant medicine ceremony when the Universe presented it to him. Not only did he have an amazing opening experience, he also met his future partner and soon to become mother to his first born son.
Alex is now growing Tolado and wants to reach as many people as possible in this very uncertain world we live in, knowing there are millions of people who need to redirect their lives and find inner peace and happiness.
If you would like to reach out to Alex for a chat you can find him at https://www.instagram.com/zandereastman/
Or if you would like to understand how you can uncover your own values, vision and mission then please look at Ultimate Contribution which is part of the Tolado vision.

In today's episode Amy Taylor gives us an insight into how she moved into the online entreprenuerial space.
Former jobs included PA, travel sales specialist, cruise ships and private yachts, all in the name of having it all in terms of work and life balance.
That mindset changed when she received news that her father figure uncle had been diagnosed with cancer and dropped everything to return back to the UK.
Losing him so quickly had a huge impact on Amy. Not only did she realise how he'd waited for years to retire only to not enjoy his retirement, but that she did not want to do the same.
This waking up forced Amy into joining an online comunity and education platform to learn how to make money online. She was driven on with this journey knowing that her uncle would be proud and it helped her move through the grieving process.
Amy is very passionate about people speaking their truth, and would rather live through extremes than to flatline in safety.
Trusting your gut is far more powerful and accurate than your brain, and if more people did this , they would live much happier and fulfilled lives.

In today's episode Sean Beaty chats about how hitting 50 with older children, lead to him looking for more out of life.
Having been in construction project management all his life, Sean has a good salary and has lived all over the world. But when his 2 boys started to need his attention less, he started looking online for opportunities.
Sean has always had a keen interest in self development and fitness. Not one to sit and be idle he is always doing something. Although the day job paid well and gave a good lifestyle, Sean knew he wasn't fulfilled.
So having seen some videos from every day people online talking about financial freedom, there was a resonation and this started Seans journey of trying to replace the income.
The starting point was to replace the income , but what became more important was spending time in a fulfilled way. For Sean this was putting time with the kids and wife first, aswell as fitness as a priority . Although we can all feel we dont have the time to do this at times, you have to slow down to speed up and actually this enhances your productivity.
And a huge realisation for Sean was that the only thing we can actually control in our own lives is how to react in each moment.

It was such a pleasure for me in today's episode to speak with my Acupuncturist and friend Clair Taylor Powell. Previously in the RAF, Clair realised at the grand old age of 42 that she was deeply unhappy and after 3 years in the wilderness began to head for home and changed her life completely.
Clair talks about our spiritualty and humaness being like a coin, and depending on which side the coin falls depends on what element of yourself you present in the moment.
So many people live in fear and need, and avoid joyfulness at all costs, as better the devil you know is better than the fear of 'what if there's nothing better than this?'
0-42 for Clair was playing the victim, not being authentic and settling for less than she was. A pivotal 3 days at 42 saw her mother die from a stroke and her partner of 12 years tell her he wasn't coming home. The sheer awfulness of that time forced her into acting on what she knew to be the truth, and decided to end the relationship.
3 years in the wilderness and having acupuncture herself, Clair quickly realised she wanted to leave the RAF and after training in NLP, she then trained to be an acupuncturist. She has since expanded her energy work into colour mirrors, sound healing and tarot cards.
If you are feeling sad or stuck right now Clair invites you to ask yourself 2 questions:
-
How does it serve me to stay in this place of joylessness?
-
What is the purpose of choosing to stay in this situation?

In today's episode I loved chatting with Grantly Clapham. A previous officer in the Navy, property entrepreneur and now coach, Grantley has found himself searching out the real truth's in life.
Similarly to me Grantley hasn't watched the mainstream news in years, as its so one sided and all awful.
This mindset has lead him more recently to searching alternative news, the sort that for some reason the main News do not deem newsworthy.
The convuluted information about the pandemic, with death certificates stating Covid when it wasnt, swayed Grantley into watching so called conspiracy theories. And then seeing the courageous people who are speaking out about their truths and facts , having their content taken down or even banned from the main social networking platforms. So what has happened to Freedom of Speech?
A more controversial conversation today, but one I was keen to have as I also believe a lot of what Grantley does.
Listen to Grantleys free speech with an open mind, and decide for yourself which truths you believe.

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, I loved chatting with Isabella Lambauer who shares how she went from Office Manager in an engineering firm to owner of her own business, life coach, and oh yeah back to helping the engineering company out on a part time basis.
Isabella couldn't stand her boss anymore and a forced argument saw her quit her managerial role in an engineering company.
This action lead her to discovering an online education that showed her the many possibilities that were out there in the world for her.
Whilst attending the same event as myself in the Domincan Republic, Isabella fell upon a fantastic business idea that enabled kids to have the right tools to deal with life. Through meditation, breath work and other tools kids are better equipped to deal with lifes challenges, and the teaching comes from other kids ...not adults!
This business has also allowed Isabella to move into life coaching, helping adults face their fears and use techniques to release the old that is holding them back in life.
Listen to Isabella's inspiring story of not settling for less than true fulfillment and how everyone of us can do the same!

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, it was wonderful to spend time with Megan (Megs) Gibson who shares how after settling for 25 years both in a marriage and career, enough was enough.
Megs decided to follow a career in hairdressing to get herself out of high school and very quickly met the man she would marry, and go on to have 3 wonderful children.
Being the kind of person to 'give it her all' she did incredibly well, and even ran her own hairdressing business over the years.
But over the last few years Megs knew she wanted to live a bigger life, and thrives in being uncomfortable. This desire took hold and eventually lead her and her husbanmd to take different paths.
Even when hairdressing Megs was always looking for something else from taking photos of new born babies to really excelling in managing her own team in Tupperware.
This experience made her realise how much she loves to empower people to realise the very best versions of themselves. This twist in direction lead her to her current role as a personal coach enabling people to understand to the core of their being, who they truly are.
Listen to Meg's inspiring story of not settling for less than her true worth and how everyone of us can do the same!

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, it was wonderful to spend time with my friend Mary Arevalo who shares why she settled in her marriage and finances for far too long.
Mary married very young at the age of 19, and was very much a product of the era she was brought up in. She spent a lot of years putting her families needs and feelings before her own.
Over the years she knows that she felt trapped financially, and she felt that kept her in a marriage that did not fulfill her. However whilst speaking on this podcast she actually realised that it was a lack of self love that kept her trapped not the money, and this lack came from the relationship with her mother.
Mary always knew there was something more for her in life, with the passion bubbling inside she took the decision in 2018 to leave her husband and spent a few months getting to know herself and feeling free.
A family event forced Mary back to her family home, because she is still wrestling with the love she has for them versus her own self love. That said she is enjoying life a lot more now, giving herself more time and love than ever.
Mary is also empowering other women over a certain age to take back control of their finances, whilst certainly taking control of her own.
Listen to Mary's inspiring story of not settling for less than your true worth and how everyone of us can do the same!

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, you get to hear from me, Mel Clarke, about never settling for second best.
I always knew I was different from friends and other people from a young age, and I guess a large part of my younger life was trying to fit in and dim my light.
From wanting to be a psychologist at Uni to falling into a career in sales for over 20 years, to now pursuing a coaching career and more creativity, I have always been trying to find my purpose.
Watching my parents struggle and argue over money, made me determined not to be broke, and drove me to be ambitious. But ambition can be soul destroying when you end up doing a job that does not fulfill you just to pay the bills and have some nice holidays.
Along my journey of trying lots of ways of earning money to be able to quit the day job, including property investment, I was also on a journey of spiritual enlightenment.
Losing my dad in 2006 really accelerated this, and over the years having married and then divorced, and almost going bankrupt I have begun to understand what happiness really means, and it sure doesn't come from the expensive car on the drive.
In 2010 a chance encounter brought me to a wonderful lady called Clair who had just qualified as an acupuncturist, to improve my skin. The end of the fifth session lead her to telling me I was deeply unhappy, and although I resisted at first, it wasnt long before a tsunami of tears fell to confirm her words. This really was the beginning of me seriously not settling in relationships, which in turn has lead to a search for fulfillment in all areas of life.
I have never been one to join the masses, I believe we are all source energy and have the power to create the life of our dreams if we could just get out of our own way. Life is there to be enjoyed, people are there to love, we are here to self love and evolve consciously so we can all have an enriching impact on the world, in a small or huge way.
Have I got it all figured out? Hell no, but I sure intend to live from my souls purpose in everything, and be the best version of myself I can be.

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, I was my honour to sit down with my great friend and spiritual coach Andy Wilson who shares why only changing your circumstances will not bring you long lasting fulfillment.
After Andy had reinvented himself more times than he cares to remember in his career to achieve a greater state of happiness and fulfilment he finally had the awareness that if he was to do it again, it wouldnt change how he felt inside, and was left with an almighty stuckness.
This feeling of stuckness, and feeling broken forced Andy to realise that the changes needed to come from within himself, and not outside himself.
You see we all live our life either wanting more of something, or resisting that which we don't want, and in taking that baggage into each present moment we are never really living or enjoying life.
So overtime Andy began to appreciate that it isn't what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy but rather who you are being. Instead of saying you hate your job, start appreciating everything that the job is currently giving to you, and be who you truly are. Once you do this the world around you will change.
As Wayne Dyer always said 'Change the way you look at things and the things around you change'.
Listen to Andy's inspiring story of not settling for less than true fulfillment and how everyone of us can do the same!

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, I was really happy to sit down with Magic & Harmony Coach Tifanne Lark who shares why she was not happy to settle for second best.
Having been an advocate of never settling most of my life, I love to be inspired by others stories of how they have changed their lives.
After 2 emotionally and verbally abusive failed marriages Tifanne just new and felt that there was something way better for her in life.
Having left her 2nd marriage with no fixed abode to go to, Tifanne started to pay attention to how she was settling for the 2nd best version of herself in all areas of life. Anxiety and panic attacks were her wake up call to know that she was definetely not happy and was very stressed.
Once back on her feet emotionally Tifanne started to pay more attention to the nursing career she had never wanted to do in the first place, and started to realise she needed to put herself first in all areas of life and be her number one priority.
Her life improved everywhere including her singing that she loves, and becoming a coach whose purpose is to improve peoples intimate relationship with themselves.
Listen to Tifannes inspiring story of not settling for second best, and feeling the fear but doing it anyway!

In today's episode of the The 'Never Settle' Podcast, I was really happy to sit down with online entrepreneur, business man and personal friend Guy Bevington, who shares why he was not happy to settle for second best.
Having been an advocate of never settling most of my life, I love to be inspired by others stories of how they have changed their lives.
Guy is no different, having fallen into the usual trap that lot's of people do; leave school, go to University, get a good paying job, work your way up the ladder, and then realise one day you're not happy.
Guy took baby steps into changing his life, when after falling asleep exhausted on his commute home he was divinely woken by an advert on Youtube that caught his attention. This advert talked about a life of freedom, being your own boss, working from anywhere in the world, and striking the work life balance you have always dreamed of.
The message struck home and led Guy on a journey of not only new skills, perceptions and possibilities but also a growing spirituality .
Guy was able to quit his 9-5, and in creating a new online world, he now spends more time with his wife and daughters, and is able to be present at breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime, something that wasn't possible in his 9-5 or more like 8-8.
Listen to Guys inspiring story of not settling for second best, and feeling the fear but doing it anyway!
