Diana Rickman: Coach-EFT Practitioner-Podcaster
How do I live a life that makes me feel happy and fulfilled? Change how I feel and the way I treat myself? Create a life and business that serves me and others? These are just some of the big questions that my guests have asked themselves. Action takers, change makers and entrepreneurs on a mission to make a difference share why they're creating a soul centred, passion driven life and business on their terms.
An interview based podcast focusing on the journey of each of my guests. Sometimes hitting ‘rock bottom’ is the start of a whole new life, career and way of thinking.
Many of my guests have experienced loss, PTSD, illness, depression, poverty, alcohol abuse, drug dependency, difficult childhoods or relationships, trauma or simply a sense of feeling lost or stuck without direction.
It doesn’t matter how humble or difficult a place you’re in right now, how unprepared or lacking in support you feel, now is the right time to start. If you have a dream....a passion to start something or change something and make a difference to your life and others .....and you’re ready to be inspired... this podcast is for you.

Sometimes managing relationships can feel like you're walking through a minefield. How do I cope with a family member who's being difficult? How do I ask a member of my family to do something that I know they're not going to want to do? How do I stop feeling responsible for how family members behave? In this mini training I'm sharing the ways that I manage to negotiate and build relationships that make me feel supported and happy.
Rick Sharpe hit rock bottom when he realised that he didn't know or like the man he saw looking back at him from the mirror. He knew that he'd manifested the demise and painful breakup of a relationship and that history was recurring in some way shape or form. To better understand what had happened and to try to manage his debilitating thoughts and feelings he sat down and started journaling.
Now Rick is on a mission to raise awareness about emotional struggle and help others suffering emotionally.
Kenya Sheat describes herself a natural born writer and her love of writing was the turning point and therapy she needed to recover her emotional strength when she suffered a breakdown following the death of her much loved Grandma and 2 close friends.
It was at the 'rock bottom' moment that Kenya followed the advice of her therapist and turned to her journal. She began recording her thoughts and feelings and this kept her focused on the things she was grateful for and allowed her to express her emotions in a way that made sense to her.
Kenya says "Writing is how I've been able to handle a lot of things and then reading it back to myself. It helps me to understand exactly what I'm going through. Its one thing to be going through something and people can see what your going through from the outside but by writing it down I'm taking my inside and turning it to the outside. I'm flipping the inside out so I can visually see and better understand." She learned the power of seeing her feelings on the page in front of her and the sense of peace and understanding that came from"
When she finished her degree studies Kenya joined corporate America and prepared for the long hours and commitment needed to be successful. But she had a dream to start her own business and took a leap of faith, left her corporate job and started on her entrepreneurial journey. It was tough and for a while she was homeless and living in a shelter in New York City. But she know she wasn't meant to stay there and looks back on that time as a necessary part of her journey towards creating her own business but also to understanding herself.
Hanna Bier was a drunk 20-something trying to find Spirit in electronic music, parties and alcohol. The abuse she had endured as a child had left her feeling disconnected and lost.

She offers 1:1 coaching, E-courses and soulful podcast episodes for kind creatives who don't know how to achieve the success they desire (yet)
British entrepreneur, piano player, international racing driver and business coach Jonny Cooper hit rock bottom when in 2007 he was forced to declare himself bankrupt and lost everything.

Never doubting that 'he'd be back' Johnny drew on every ounce of emotional strength and skill he had and started to look for ways to earn money. He fell into online business coaching as a way to put food on the table but quickly found that his passion for helping people who helped others meant that his coaching became more than just another job.
Now Johnny supports coaches, trainers, therapists and consultants who are serious about growing their practice and enjoying a life of effortless abundance.

Krysti Turznik's rock bottom moment came quite unexpectedly one day whilst she was in the shower and she experienced the overwhelming symptoms of dizziness that were associated with a heart condition she had developed in her late teens.
She felt an overwhelming sense of sadness and despair at the way that her life had come to that point because she knew that she wasn't going to be able to fulfil the dreams and potential that she had within her.
But she decided at that moment that she could choose to continue her life the way that it was in that moment or she could allow herself to claim something different.
So she started to explore some of the deeper emotions that she had been suppressing and not wanting to deal with and miraculously as she did so her heart condition healed as well.
She learned that "we have more power than we claim and that we are the creators in our lives and we have the ability if we give ourselves permission to really make our lives that beautiful and magical and create that ideal life that we set for ourselves."
Now Krysti is a motivational speaker who shows people how to shine light on their shadows, understand that mindset is everything and helps them to create a life that they don't need to escape from and where every day can feel like a day at the beach.
What is emotional strength in a man? A week of conversations with friends about the stress of working in a modern corporate environment prompted me to think about the way that men particularly manage their stress and feelings by being stoic, and just carrying on. Is it true that real men don't cry and they definitely don't ask for help?
Sarah Clark plans for the future hit rock bottom when at 28 years old, she received a diagnosis of premature ovarian failure.
She accepted the diagnosis and chose to have both her children through in vitro fertilisation using donor eggs. Years later she retrained as a life and health coach with a special interest in diet and lifestyle and realised the root cause of her infertility and allergies was a food intolerance.
Now Sarah is the author of Fabulously Fertile - Supercharge your Fertility Naturally. The Fabulously Fertile Cookbook and Fertility Preparation Program. Her fertility coaching program, which includes functional lab testing, supports couples to make diet and lifestyle changes that dramatically improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby!
Where does emotional strength come from? Is it something you're born with or do you have to nurture and build it just like physical strength?
This week I'm sharing some of the ways I've learned to notice and change the things I think and say about and to myself.
Kelli Saginak is an expert in heart-pounding palpitations, sweaty palms, and body tremors -- yes, ANXIETY. She suffered with anxiety for years until one day she decided she'd had enough of being 'numbed out' on medication and set about finding another way to manage her feelings.
Kelli is a certified life coach, professor, counselor educator, and she knows how to transform anxiety into enthusiasm, eagerness, and motivation.
She says it’s not anxiety that blocks our success as much as it is our thoughts and perceptions about anxiety and what makes us anxious.
This week I'm exploring the question 'What determines emotional strength?' Is there a way we can measure it?
I take a look back on some of the wise words and opinions shared by my guests on Soul Centred Entrepreneur over the last year and think about how I'm applying that knowledge to the challenge of moving house.
This week I'm diving in to the question how do we develop emotional strength and sharing some of the challenges I've had this week as I open myself up to a new community and stop my fear of not belonging from turning into a limiting belief.

Varsha comes from a South Asian, Indian family and found it extremely difficult to talk to them about not only her marital problems but the fact that she wanted to leave her husband fearing rejection by her family and community.
Finally the stress of being in a bad relationship at home, trying to seem happy and function well in her corporate career and putting on a facade that everything was good became too much and she gained the courage to confide in her family and then take the steps to leave. She says it was probably one of the scariest things she had ever done in her life.
In this 1st episode I'm sharing what I've discovered about mental and emotional strength and how I've learned to tell the difference.

Stevii Mills hit rock bottom when the stress from working in her 'dream job' made her so sick she was rushed to he hospital twice and lost so much weight she ended up a size zero.
At first her doctor thought it must be a hidden illness but quickly Stevii realised that stress was at the core of how she felt and it was time to do things her way.
So she quit her big corporate paycheck, took a leap of faith and created her own public relations company.
Now Stevii is a public relations coach and The Chief 'it Factor 'Cultivator

Debra Hill developed emotional strength as a child. Frustrated by the life threatening condition of chronic asthma she made a decision to take hold of life, make the best of each day and never be a 'victim' of the disease.
Thankfully by the age of 14 modern drugs and treatment improved her condition and she was finally free from the shortness of breath and wheezing that had overshadowed her childhood.
Her emotional strength was put to the test again some years later when following the death of her brother Debra became 'mum' to her niece and nephews. She knew her demanding corporate job and the lifestyle she and her husband enjoyed must change so that they could provide a stable and loving home for her brother's children so she quit her corporate career and created her coaching and speaking business 'Lifestrings'.
Now Debra is a business strategist and coach who has made it her mission to enable entrepreneurs to step out confidently and grow a profitable business they love.
Tina Leigh McDonald has a chronic pain condition but she managed in her busy corporate job successfully for many years. But when a car accident caused her condition to worsen and forced her to resign she realised that part of her recovery and rehabilitation was going to mean returning to work in a way that she could manage but that still allowed her to support people in the way that she loved.
She established her business Avalanche coaching and now she splits her time providing leadership and soft skills training to businesses and also supports 16 to 24 year olds with career guidance helping them to transfer from school into apprenticeships, university or work.
She says having a chronic pain condition limits the time she can put into her business but her passion for what she does helps her to continue with a purpose she believes in and manage her condition too.

Rebecca began researching the effects of food on our hormones and this led to her retraining in Nutrition 7 years ago. Now Rebecca is a Nutritional Therapist and founder of the Hormone Mentor. She helps stressed out women who are sick of feeling tired all the time, overwhelmed and struggling with intense mood swings and food cravings to take control of their hormones and manage the symptoms through food and lifestyle changes.
Emma Langton's life changing journey began when she and her husband decided to adopt two gorgeous girls and she took some time at home to help them overcome their difficult start in life. She began to learn about attachment, trauma, fear, loss and how early life experiences can shape our futures. It was during that time of discovering how to best help her girls that she became interested in psychology and how we respond and react. It made perfect sense to her and she wanted to know more.
Redundancy enabled her to retrain in Hypnotherapy, NLP and Coaching. She knew that her work and personal experience would give her a wealth of understanding to help to bring out the best in people and enable them to have a better balance in their life.
Now Emma loves helping stressed and overwhelmed business leaders, professionals and entrepreneurs to feel empowered, in control and able to enjoy life more.
Julie Feuerborn learned as a child the importance of saving and budgeting.
In fact saving and investing come naturally to her but she realised that to have a successful relationship with money you also have to enjoy spending it.
Julie shared how she's meeting that challenge as she sets off on a world tour as part of a move from her long time home in the UK back to her native USA.
Julie is the money coach and she founded her business to empower women to take control of their financial destiny.
Julie uses a mixture of education and mentoring to give women the tools needed to make financial decisions that are right for them and their families. She loves it when her clients understand the role money plays in their life. Because it creates peace of mind and opens up a whole new level of possibilities for her clients to live the life they deserve and ultimately find financial freedom.
Julie shared some simple tips to help you achieve your financial goals and we talked about the importance of having a goal.
Julie's wise words from this show - "For me emotional strength is having fortitude. Being able to deal with whatever comes our way and for me it's this year of travel and changes and it's embracing it that there will be moments. It's having that trust I guess that faith that it will all work and that I don't have to overthink it.
So emotional strength is for me the strength to roll with the punches as to whatever life throws us on any given day. There's something that may creep up that will challenge us in one way or another.
So it's knowing it'll all be OK. That's emotional strength. It will all be ok. "
Sarah Banks is a fertility coach who knows what it's like to want a baby desperately and to feel the grief every month that she still wasn't pregnant. Sarah and her husband tried for a baby for four years before going down the assisted conception route. She says her life felt like it was on hold and out of her control while others around her were moving forward with theirs. She also understands that beginning fertility treatment can be the start of a whole new set of problems and worries and the daily scans, hormone drugs and waiting can be an extremely distressing process.
As she began her second round of treatment she knew she wasn't in the right frame of mind. She was convinced it was never going to happen she'd never be a mum. So she made a decision at that point to go and see a life coach who helped her reframe the way she was thinking and manage her anxiety.
That made a huge difference to the way she was feeling about the process. Well she was blessed with her little boy, Jack and believes that the coaching she received played a part in her conceiving on the second transfer.
So she left her job as a senior retail buyer and retrained in personal development coaching and now works as a fertility mentor and coach helping individuals and couples who are struggling with infertility and going through fertility treatments.
Sarah feels honoured to be working with people on their incredibly difficult journey. Helping them to feel less anxious and more positive going forward on their fertility journey.
Hannah Williams is a Success Coach and Mindset Mentor who spent 17 years in the corporate financial world as a Wealth Manager.
She believed that she should be a super successful high flyer and set out to prove herself in a largely male dominated world.
Eventually the long hours and stress resulted in her becoming both physically and emotionally unwell. She was struggling and went through a process of really trying to go back and understand who she was and what she actually wanted.
At the end of 2016 Hannah established her own business and now she works with female entrepreneurs to combat overwhelm and imposter syndrome and supports them to follow their dreams and create a life of personal and financial freedom.

She's on a mission to transform the meaning of the word "fitness" to include not just the state of a person's physical body, but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual factors which affect a person's overall well being. When she was thirteen, and puberty hit she was one of the only girls in class with hips and breasts, and she felt ugly. As a cheerleader for her junior high school, she was considered a "base," because she had hips someone could use as stairs to climb onto her shoulders. She knew from the beginning she was too heavy, too curvy, to experience being a "flyer"—one of the girls on top of the pyramid. It made her feel ashamed of her body. But, feeling awkward and ugly strengthened her self-esteem, because she felt forced to focus on other aspects of her personality talent and intelligence. Whilst working in a gym as a receptionist she was inspired to pursue an education in personal training and from the beginning focused on science and how to apply it to her clients bodies to make changes and improvements. As she learned more about biomechanics, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and physics, She developed a profound regard for her body for the miracle and perfection it is. This doesn't mean she always loves the way it looks on the outside! In fact, she's had to learn and keeps practicing the art of loving herself unconditionally. We talked about her holistic approach to exercise and wellness and her new book The Invisible Fitness Formula: 5 Secrets to Release Weight & End Body Shame https://jj-flizanes.mykajabi.com/a/4231/SXY7xaSN I hope you enjoy our conversation Diana x

Dr Glen Livingston is a psychologist and was the long time CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm to Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. His research has been published in major periodicals like The New York Times and he's appeared many times on American national television. He became disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food obsessed individuals, and spent several decades researching the nature of bingeing and overeating via work with his own patients and a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. But what most of his family, friends and work colleagues didn't know is that throughout this time Dr Glen was trapped and limited by his own obsession with food and exercise. Dr Glen shares, the story of his own personal journey out of obesity and a self imposed food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food. His journey resulted in the development of a unique approach to stop binging and overeating for good. His book Never Binge Again promises a solution to help you stop overeating and binge eating and reprogram yourself to think like a permanently thin person...on the food plan of your choice! Its an easy to follow and apply method but its clear that this book is written with the compassion of someone who has worked through his own food compulsions. I love the no nonsense and direct instructions. Its a method that could be applied to any behaviour that you want to change.

Imagine you have a best friend. Someone who gets your jokes and makes you laugh, shares your dreams and supports you. A friend who loves what you love and shares time with you and your family. Your lives revolve around each other. Then one day, out of the blue, they phone you and tell you the relationship is over they don't want to be friends anymore. How would you feel? Hurt? Devastated? Angry? Sharing a conversation with me is Dr Sharon Livingston a top marketing strategist, communications expert and the author of the book Get Lost Girlfriend-How I Found Myself When My Best Friend Dumped Me, a fictional account of her experience of being 'dumped' by her BFF. She experienced the pain and bewilderment of being dumped out of the blue by someone she considered to be her closet and 'best friend. She was devastated at first but as she began to come to terms with what had happened she began to realise that mixed in with the pain and sense of loss was a sense of finding something new and more supportive. She realised she could be her own best friend and in every crises there's an opportunity too! I love recording these conversations.

Joining me for a conversation is Jason Treu. Jason is a top business and executive coach, a sales trainer and an author. His No.1 best selling book, Social Wealth -The how to guide to building personal and professional relationships, has now sold over 45,000 copies and reached No.1 on Amazon in numerous self help and business categories. Jason's a leading expert on human behaviour, daring leadership and relationship building and he helps executives and entrepreneurs to build key business and personal relationships. At the heart of his strategy is the understanding that people and relationships are your true wealth. Jason's passion for his subject is obvious and in our conversation he reflected on an impressive university education that sent him out into the work place with little understanding or appreciation for the power of relationships or the skill of asking the 'right' questions Even though he completed a law degree and masters in communications at one of the top universities in the USA he felt he lacked an understanding of what it is that creates a great relationship and the key to building supportive business and personal connections. He quickly became disillusioned with law and instead began working in Silicon valley learning from the tech industries high flyers but when his relationship with his business partner and longstanding friend fell apart and a series of personal losses and misfortune quickly followed he found himself at rock bottom. His journey back from overwhelm towards a life that felt purposeful and exciting started with the realisation that his best thinking had got him where he was now and so it was time to think differently.

Nicola Humber is on a mission to empower women to have the most abundant, delicious, fulfilling lives possible by focusing on their money mindset. She discovered that the way you show up with money impacts on all areas of your life. It’s the quickest route to creating huge personal transformation and (of course!) receiving more cash. It’s a win-win! Not so long ago she worked in finance. After earning her degree in Business Studies she worked for different insurance and investment companies before ending up working for a firm of financial advisers as a financial planner and spent her days recommending how clients should invest their money. But her heart wasn’t in it. In 2008, she finally fell out of love with finance and decided to retrain as a hypnotherapist. When she set up her hypnotherapy practice, she didn’t realise that starting her own business was the biggest personal development journey she would ever take. She now helps and mentors soul-led women in business to be abundantly rewarded for the work they do. She loves helping her clients let go of money shame & stress and breakthrough to exciting new income levels. Nicola is also the author of Heal Your Inner Good Girl. A Guide to Living an Unbound Life. If you'd like to learn more about Nicola you can contact her through her Facebook group Unbound Living with Nicola Humber or her website http://nicolahumber.com/ Thanks so much for listening and I look forward to sharing with you next time.

My guest on today's show grew up as part of a very large family and learned first hand what its like to have to keep quiet and never have your voice heard. She was expected from an early age to help her parents and siblings in their daily struggle to make ends meet without complaining.

I have to admit it was difficult editing this conversation as we talked for ages about why we choose EFT, our love for the practice and of course how it can support and nurture your emotional strength.

My guest today has experienced a long and sometimes painful journey to her own good health and emotional strength. I first met Linn Purdon in a Facebook group. Her energy and sense of joy just seemed to shine out of her comments and we arranged to meet for a virtual coffee. Her business name 'leave your hair in' gives you a great insight into her sense of humour but she also has a deep compassion for others especially children and animals. Linn has such energy and an infectious love of life that its hard to imagine that not too many years ago she was seriously ill and at times very close to death. For years she experienced pain all over her body, zero energy and caught every virus in town. She was diagnosed with scoliosis, hypoglycemia, low blood pressure, fribromyalgia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, leaky gut, post traumatic stress disorder She tried all sorts of healing options, both traditional and alternative Then laying in bed one day she was struck by the thought that she was living her life according to other peoples’ instructions and she realised that in order to recover she had to trust her own inner knowing. She had to live from the inside out. So she started one small step at a time to consciously design a life that supported her. She now lives a life of joy, meaning and flexibility. She honours the essence of who she is and what she needs to operate at her best. If you'd like to learn more about Linn you can contact her through her website at www.leaveyourhairin.com.au If you enjoyed this show please share it with your friends and I wonder if you might take a moment to give it a rating or maybe even subscribe.

Have you ever felt you were being guided by a hidden force or power? Something that had your higher interests in mind. It's an interesting concept and different civilisations and cultures have created ways of explaining or simply trying to understand this sense of being guided or being part of a plan. Today I'm sharing a conversation I had with Anne Aleckson. Anne is The Soul Speaker and she gives a voice to the power within through direct voice channeling. This is a highly evolved, non-physical stream of consciousness called All-That-Is (ATI for short) and through this voice she helps transform lives through the vibrational frequency of the written and spoken word. Anne is a contemporary spiritual teacher, producer and host of #MYOVtv, the author of the children’s book My Secret Superhero and the soon to be published Super-Self. She is a contributing author alongside Dr Wayne Dyer and other World leading spiritual / self empowerment teachers in the best selling The Path to Success book and recently contributed to another best-selling offering 365 Ways to Connect with your Soul. She believes in miracles and is entranced by meaningful co-incidences or synchronicity and enjoys an unwavering optimism and faith in the inherent good of mankind. According to Anne life doesn't have to be hard or complicated and is at its most enjoyable when simplified. To find out more about Anne and her work head over to her website http://www.soulspeaker.com.au I love recording these conversations.

Jessica Lorimer worked for many years as a corporate high flyer – spending 14 hours a day, glued to emails, constantly running to meetings and living off energy drinks and sushi. Power suits, sky high heels and a caffeine addiction were the order of the day along with a great basic salary, good benefits and a really good internal London Tube Map. But she was miserable and stressed. Often working till the early hours of the morning and missing out on dinner with friends, seeing theatre shows and feeling too tired to visit her family at weekends. The final straw came when she took a holiday in the Mediterranean and spent more time typing out emails on her Blackberry than wandering through the back streets of Florence or punting in Venice. So she started working on a plan to quit her job.It wasn't easy at first but she worked out a strategy and her business started to grow and then quickly flourish. Now she lives her dream and helps women ditch their 9-5, monetise their passions and create successful, online freedom based businesses that they love.
